When I got my G3 I swapped out the sim card from my M7. I noticed that the sim card that came with the LG has a different pattern on the bottom of it. Does this make a difference at all?
Is your G3 working with the M7 SIM card? Yes? Why is this thread even created?

Maybe the one that came with the G3 is a Secured Element SIM card and the one with the M7 wasn't.

Thank you for the helpful reply! After further research, that may be the difference, "secured element". I will ask T-mobile on Monday.

I guess because its a valid a question. I firmly believe that some of the shutdown issues could be to do with sim cards.

More than likely the secured SIM. At AT&T we have the same setup. The secured card is required for ISIS.

Is there any reason to put the new SIM card that came with my phone in? I put in the same one that I've been using for years (Dash->G1->G2->SGS2) and it works fine. 4G shows at the top of the screen. I haven't tried a speed test yet, but I'd bet I get 4G speeds the same way I did on my G2.
So, what good reason is there?
Right now, there is no reason. When the wifi calling becomes available it will require the new Sim.

do you have some sort of sentimental connection to that sim? why not just use the new one to make sure yoour up to date?
Where did you guys find the new sim card? Is it in the plastic wrapper with the manual/user guide? I don't see it in the box and I haven't opened up the plastic wrapping the manual/user guide is wrapped in. Fyi I did buy my phone from a T-Mobile.

I replaced my five yr old sim card with it because my old one seemingly caused some bad 3g data issues. I found this out by swapping sim cards with a friend who just signed with T-Mobile and an SGS2. I replaced my old one with the one that came with the SGS2 and now I'm not only seeing improved 3g speeds but also better call reception.

Quick question, my sim is about 3 months old. Will it work with wifi calling when it is released or is the SIM in the box even more "updated" than a 3 month old sim?

No, the GS2 and Amaze 4G are the first phones to shop with the new sim cards.

Are you sure about this? where Did you get this information? sounds a bit unrealistic that ota. Uupdates are tied to the sim in the box.

They aren't. They are tied to IMEI's. Two things you really need it for; 1. If you want to use WiFi calling after the maintenance update in a couple weeks, you will absolutely have to have this SIM card. No questions. It will not work. 2. After time, the older SIM cards will fail. This could lead to data access, call drop, sms sending/receiving and signal issues. If you have one now to activate, saves you a call and a trip to the local store for a replacement.
In the tmobile system we have 2 classifications of Sims. 2g (your dash) and 3g (hspa+).. make your conclusions

Actually the new Sim is a completely new revision designed for the high speed 4g network. It also has the gold contacts in a different design which is part of it look at old and new Sims if you don't believe me. I forgot the name of the new Sim but its what was taught and explained for tmobile techs (tier 2 and up support). Also most stores do not have this Sim revision in yet so use the one supplied in your box. 90% of most tmobile employees have no idea about the new Sim and only guess when asked.

How do you come to that conclusion.. the size and shape of the gold has changed multiple times over the last few years so your point is invalid.. TECHNICALLY the only difference with new Sims for our device and amaze is for the new WIFI calling network. As of Nov 12 wifi calling will not work on our phones with older sim cards
Sent from my SGH-T989
Yes but those were different revisions and also had a different contact design. Please I am not arguing with you but I am correct on this matter.

I don't know what idiot told you that is all it was designed for and I doubt that was sent from us at corporate. What's your name T-Mobile associate? You can pm me and I will look it up tommorrow to show you what you should have learned correctly. Also per tmobile policy which you signed when hired you need to remove the tmobile associate title on your xda account credentials if you are a tmobile employee.

Currently on my 5th handset after having 4 replaced by warranty and 1 by repair and none will read my SIM card. Tried everything from other SIM cards to a new SIM card to restoring to factory settings etc. I appear to be the only person having this problem. The network I'm on is Talkmobile.

You are lucky. I had 7 same phones imported from Asia (I am in Europe) and none of them read my sim card. The phone were the grey version and all I can say is that in my 8th try from the same store I give up, took my money back and ordered a new one from another shop. This time I got the black version imported from Europe and my sim worked. There is nothing wrong with your sim. Just broken phones.

Inserted correctly as it can only go in one way due to the cut off the simm.
Phone was bought simm free and unlocked to all networks (uk) and my simm works fine in my HTC One X.
What is the last one..???

Did you fully insert the sim card in the slot?
Do you have a microsim that you cut yourself?

The sim card clicks into place... And un clicks out when you remove it.
Yes it was cut to microsim size in a shop for me, but it works perfectly in my HTC One x

i had the same problem had sim card cut to size and it worked for a while then started playing up so went to o2 and they changed my sim to a proper micro sim kept my same no and everything since then no problems so just go to your carrier and they will just change it.

Before u change ur sim open phone and check sim reader connector, maybe its disconnected for some reazon
Note II, Omega v6, MotoMoto theme, Perseus kernel, perfect mix of perfection.
Thanks for the replies guys.. The problem is the cut down sim.. as tired it with another proper micro sim and the phone works fine...! Ordered a replacement sim from my carrier...

So my n2 is coming today. I have an infuse right now. With a small sim card(iphone).
Now I think the note is coming with a sim card also. Can I still use my sim card? Or do I need the card that comes with the note to get LTE?
I ask because I never upgraded before. My phone number is on my current card correct? How would I switch my number to the new card?

As long as the sim you previously had supported LTE you will be good.

Yes there is, the Tmobile S6 Edge+ needs to be un-locked.
Check out this thread below, it talks about a Tmobile Note 4
using a Verizon sim card but it's the same principle getting
your S6 Edge+ working with a Verizon sim card.

You might also need to adjust the APN to work with verizon.
