i just bought a z1 compact, and have a metro pcs sim card. i can't seem to get it connected to metro though?
am i missing something? i've looked online, and can't find anything.
when i automate the service provider, it won't connect and register to metro.
help!
Does it need activating or something. https://www.metropcs.com/content/metro/en/desktop/Account/Activation.html

I have searched and searched to find the answer but the forum is large.
I wish to change from Cingular to Verizon as a celluar network. I would like to know if I can go to Veriozon with the SIM (Cingular SIM.. not sure if this makes any difference as I am new to screwing around with my PDA) unlocked or if I need to do something else before I go into a Verizon store and purchase a SIM from them.
Cingular has very little coverage where I am and I really like my BA. I do not want to change to a different phone at this point. What are my options?
It won't work man
Ok... quick breakdown.... Cingular is a GSM network, so is T-Mobile and Various Others. GSM uses sim cards. Verison on the other hand, as well as sprint is a CDMA network and do not use sim cards. There is no device interpolerity between CDMA networks and GSM. So u can't take ur device with u from cingular to verizon, but u could move to t-mobile.
Thank you. I figured something like that since I never saw a reference to Verizon on here.
Hello everyone.. I've got a bit of a problem here.. I bought an At&t gophone (the pantech 7040p, which is a 3g phone, but not a smartphone) with the unlimited everything plan
I tried putting the Gophone sim into an unlocked Samsung Focus and it did not recognize it? I then read somewhere that you are never supposed to put the sim in the Gophone to begin with..
So is there anything I can do to make this work? Is it possible to change the IMEI # on the SIM?
Update.. I called At&t and they unlocked the SIM, so now I can use it on my Focus..
Only thing that isn't working is data, even though both phones are 3g.. Is there any way for me to manually put that information in and get it to work? Not a huge deal, but it would be nice if it was working
Hi all,
I apologize as I am completely lost with this and hope someone can help me. I have searched the forums and nothing has answered this problem. I recently purchased an Arc S LT18A and am eagerly waiting to use it. It is a Rogers branded phone which is unlocked. Jinx was amazing and helped me perform the test point unlock. There are 4 main carriers here in Canada of which all work pretty much on similar bands when it comes to GSM phones. The arc s meets the standards required for all of them. Upon testing the phone it works / registers with Telus and Bell, connecting to both of their networks but when attempting to connect to the Fido network it states " This sim card cannot register with this network " I have tried multiple sim cards from Fido including the Fido store attempting to help me to no avail. I have also attended a Rogers store and the same thing happens, except when a rogers sim card is placed into the phone it says that it is an unregistered sim card, though it is a working sim card from rogers in their store. I have verified that the phone is not stolen as Rogers checked their database for me as I was afraid that was the issue and the IMEI number was blocked, rogers stated that everything is ok with the phone. Would anyone have any experience with this issue or know of anything I can do? Thanks guys.
The title says it all. I'm trying to give my phone to a friend who wants to use it on Metro PCS. His wife has an unlocked AT&T Note 2 and it works fine, but customer service can't seem to activate this one. Does anyone know why? What can be done about it if it's possible to use?
From everything I read, it seems this phone should work. Used it on Straight talk( with tmobile towers), currently on Cricket with no issues. Tried to switch to metro pcs before, the man at the store put in a metro sim to "test" first, and it recognized the network, but didnt get mobile data he said. Then he told us we just need to buy a metro branded phone. I have tried calling them for help, but all you get is people who basically read from a script. So, will this phone work on Metro PCs or not? It's a factory unlocked H815. Thanks kids!

If it's unlockked, no reason not to work on MetroPCs. I've bought unlocked G5 few months ago, and it works on MetroPCs, as well as European Galaxy A3, also network unlocked.
