Well I started out with a Note 3 broke it got another Note 3 and now upgraded to the Note 4 all verizon models all using the same straight talk verizon sim.
Service works on the note 4 BUT am limited to 3G. After talking to a few techs they finally told me I need a new sim card. They don't allow switching phones and keeping a single sim.
They are sending a new sim free of charge so at least that's a good thing. Just that I would put this info out there in case anyone else does that same as me and think you can just move the sim card and be good to go.

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I switch my straight talk sim card between 3 different phones and never have a problem. One is my ZTE Lever (Straight talk phone), The second is motorola E2 (which is a verizon prepaid phone), and finally my galaxy note 4 ( which is a verizon phone). Everything works great with no problems at all anytime I switch. Maybe it's your apn settings.

Well on a stock 6.0.1 verizon note 4. I can't touch apn settings. Second I have only the imei of my first note 3 associated with my current sim card. I have service but not LTE. My wife has my second note 3 and I associated the imei with her sim and she gets 4g LTE no issue where I would only get 3g when I used it.
Straight talk won't fix it without a new sim. Which isn't a big deal. Order 2 sim kits from walmart for 2 bucks and will have them in a few days.

My s5 was like that. No other sim would work the 4g. That went for the sim in my s5 wouldn't work other phones 4g either (including other s5s). Now I have my sim from 3 note 4s ago and it works fine(broke one, got a bad one and now have a new one). I can also swap sim cards with my son's s4 and it works just fine. Guess some phones are just weird...

Yeah. I have issues getting this note 4 rooted so I can unlock the bootloader. I don't have a computer and only can borrow for short times which doesn't help.
This note 4 also locked me out when I put the new sim in. I never setup a pin number so couldn't unlock it and it totally erased everything even my SD card which I put back in after finished setup again. Very strange but at least I didn't lose anything. Always doing backups. Seriously want root now so I can do full restore.

My ST VZW works flawlessly after coming from an m7
Verizon can be touchy. Even when I wasn't using StraightTalk, but was on Verizon proper, I've had to replace my SIM to get 4G. Apparently they can get screwed up pretty easily. That being said, at least on VZ proper you should be able to swap SIM cards between phones easily.
Well both my wife's note 3 and my note 4 have 4g again on ST vzw. Which considering where we live is a minor miracle by itself. Went on a small drive 3 phones all vzw service. IPhone lost signal a lot, S5 a few times. My note 4 just once but it was a deep valley with lots of power lines crossing the road. Vzw service is the only service either from vzw or ST. No others even remotely work in this area. Living in the lakes region of New Hampshire in the middle of mountains might be nice views but is terrible for radio waves.

So I have a ATT GS3, and got an ATT iPhone 5.
Then I bought a Nano SIM Adapter to switch between the tow, but for some reason with the Nano SIM in the GS3 calls text all work but NO Data.
I've read on the ATT Forums people having the same issues.
Any fix for this?
I did notice my Data plan now says iPhone 4G LTE Data, when it used to say Smartphone LTE data, and I was able to switch from an iPhone 4S to the GS3.
Anyone also using a Micro SIM from the GS3 converted to a Nano SIM?
Are you getting LTE on both devices this way??
I could always fall back to the GS3 being the primary phone and Data package if the Smartphone LTE Data worked on the IP5.
Thanks
You may have to switch back to the smartphone data LTE plan to use the GS3.

Yeah I'm in the same boat. I've come to find that you do have to switch the data plans. Kind of like with the blackberry, the iPhone has its own type of data plan for some reason with att. Hope this helps!

before you switch check APN settings.
I looked at the APN settings on the GS3, and they are the same as they were when they worked with the Micro SIM.
It has to do with the iPhone data.
What I want to know is will the SmartPhone LTE Data work on the iPhone 5?
It won't work, like what others have said they both have different data plans. If you want to use your GS3 you have to call AT&T to have the LTE Smartphone data plan activated. If you want to use your iPhone you have to call them again to switch back to the iPhone data plan.
Yep, as the others said you will need to switch to an LTE plan to enable data. I manually changed my APN to get data working when I switched from a temp iPhone to my GS3. I got a text from AT&T telling me I needed to change to a 4G LTE Data plan the next day.
I do the same thing with my GS3 using a micro sim adapter. Since I don't live in a LTE area, i just switch my APN settings from PTA to Phone. I also switch back to iphone for a day just to verify the sim is still working on it. Been doing this for about two weeks, haven't received any text from AT&T, my account still says I'm on the LTE unlimited data plan.. so all is well.
Have iPhone 5. Want to use Nano SIM in Samsung

OK, so I do live in Dallas which has awesome LTE coverage. I just joined ATT and got an iPhone 5. I plan on purchasing a Samsung Note or Galaxy S III. I already purchased the Noosy Nano-Sim adapter and want to be able to use my nano-sim in the Samsung.
So, I've read multiple posts and I'm still not sure what is the solution.
Do I make the Samsung the primary phone and data package? Will the iPhone 5 work now?
I would like to be able to make this change without having to switch my data package from Smartphone LTE to iPhone LTE.
Can anyone help me??

I am on the iPhone LTE Unlimited data plan with ATT, and switch back and forth with various other phones (htc one x+, LG optimus G, and S3) using the same iPhone 5 Nano SIM card with no problems. I'm not sure of the answer if my data package was a smartphone LTE instead of the iphone LTE package.

Thanks for the info shockandawe. I'm a new customer on the mobile share with my primary geing an iphone, so I would think ours would work the same. I'll try it out. Need to find me an LTE phone on craigslist or ebay.
I dealt with that exact thing. I had to call AT&T each time I switched the sim to get the data working properly. Just like others said, if I take my sim and put it in my GS3 all will work except data. AT&T never gave me a hard time about calling and switching plans. But I didn't want to keep going through that.

A while back I unlocked my phone. Just the other day I took it into T-MOBILE and asked the gentleman to put in a sim card so I could verify that it was unlocked. Everything went smooth and my phone showed 4g with T-Mobile.
My question: is my Note 2 a dual phone meaning does it have the antennas to run on a CDMA network as well?
Reason I ask is because I've heard that Boost mobile has unlimited data.
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.

T-Mobile has GSM network. No CDMA for At&t Note 2
If u want cheap unlimited data, try net10 or straight talk
I don't have the note 2 anymore. I'm using the LG Optimus G Pro.
Net 10 and ST are not unlimited data. They cut you off at some point. I tried NET 10 last year.
And the customer service is so horrible that words cannot describe.
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.
Just activated my AT&T Note 4 and I just noticed I have absolutely no data connection. Data and enhanced data is turned on but the only icons to the left of the signal meter are the NFC icon. Am I doing something wrong here?
EDIT: Just called AT&T obviously the 1st rep that activated my phone didn't do his job as my phone didn't have the IMEI number updated, it still had my old Nokia phone. 2nd rep updated my info and I have working data now.
I have had tons of phones. Put sim card in and they work like they are supposed to. The Note 4 is the only phone that has to have a rep update the emei or what ever it is emie. It should register it's self. Iphone LG Flex LG G2 Note 2 Note 3 Nokia phones all have no problems with my simcard EXCEPT THE NOTE 4. What is the problem with this phone. I have had a problem with forwarding my calls to Gear S and problems with tethering hotspot. All because the phone can not register itself on the network. AT&T IT IS TIME FOR THE CORRECT UPDATE.
No root is one thing but no root and phone not working like it should is QUITE ANOTHER. I have never jumped ship before but tomorrow might be the day!

Hello,
Question.. I have a verizon note 2 with straight talk service and I just got a verizon note 4. Can't I just put the sim card from the note 2 into the note 4, use the same apn, and get it to work? Or do I still need to get a new verizon straight talk sim? I got this sim a long time ago so I don't remember if it was a verizon straight talk sim but I assumed it was because it works in my Verizon note 2.

Depends if the SIM fits and what service the SIM is for. If your on the straight talk verizon you need to call in and transfer service to the new phone. If the SIM fits and is for anything other the verizon you'll need to add the apn.
For whatever reason the apn is blocked on mine as well. I'm guessing straight talk updated my apn when I called and gave them my imei number to transfer my account.
Only thing I can recommend is to call straight talk

Ok i found my old activation kit with all the Sim cards in it for at&t and tmobile.. the Sim card I was using was straight talk tmobile which works fine in my Verizon note 2. But when I put it in my Verizon note 4 I get nothing.. no signal bars nothing.. I don't think it's the apn because I put the sim card back in my note 2 and deleted the apn and I still at least got signal bars just no Internet of course. So i got my number switched to the at&t sim card and tried it and got the same results. Works in my note 2 but nothing works in the note 4. No signal at all. Do you think downgrading to kitkat would get it working? I noticed others who said they were using Verizon note 4 with a at&t straight talk sim card was on 4.4
There's a thread here about tmobile. Works for some and not for others. Some tricks to get it working in the thread as well. Again worked for some not for others.
If coverage is good I'd buy a straight talk verizon SIM for it on eBay(where I got mine) and transfer your account to that. You'll have to buy a 6.99 activation from straight talk when you call. Your number won't change either.

Is there anyone out there that can assure me the OnePlus 5t i am getting direct from them will connect to AT&T LTE all bands? I am porting my number after I pick it up from FedEx and if this issue is still ongoing I will not pick up the package but have it sent back. I don't want to port my number from another carrier to AT&T or I will be stuck since I am coming from Verizon.
Thanks

You won't have any problems with GSM carriers. OP5t supports all bands for those. I'm using mine on ATT in New Hampshire and it works normally. On some custom ROMs you might need to play with the APN a bit but on stock it worked fine out of the box. VoLTE and Wifi Calling will not work, even if you enable the settings with a Magisk module, however, so don't count on that.
Yes. I can also attest, works just fine on AT&T LTE.
Works fine on AT&T

Works fine on ATT, but be prepared to deal with ATT support as this device isn't officially LTE certified. When you give ATT your IMEI, you will likely be limited to a HSPA+ connection and see H+ instead of LTE on your status bar. My OnePlus One worked just fine, but I needed a new sim for my OnePlus 5T and took over a dozen calls to ATT support to finally actually get LTE on my phone... but as more and more people get their phones activated on ATT it will probably become less and less of a PITA.
LTE+ actually shows several times for me on the 5t, but as others have said LTE works fine. I didn't have any problems getting LTE with mine. Switches sims and pulled LTE immediately

Woking fine on ATT LTE for my 5T. I popped my sim from my 6P and put it in the 5T. LTE came right up. As others have mentioned, I've read that the issue is that ATT is a prick about unlocked non-ATT phones. Just give them the IMEI of your old phone when porting over and it should be fine.
This is my experience during the last week:
Went to the ATT store , Clinton, Connecticut, bought new sim and activated my brand new 5T. Only got H+. I have an extra att phone, I put the bought and activated att sim from the oneplus in it. But I only get H+ on that phone. So I plan to go to att store and ask them to activate lte on that old phone. Now when I put the sim back into the oneplus . All I got was H+. In other words, what imei will it be for my oneplus? I would assume it will be the old phone imei since the sim was activated on it. I am kind of one track mind about lte, because I had trouble sending pictures over H+. I don't know why I seemed to have problem when other oneplus owners seemed to fix their lte easily. I have spent hours at the ATT store and the tech and manage Mike swore that they cannot help me. They referred to ATT tech support because my 5T is not recognized by ATT network.
PS. I took the 5t to the att store and bought the sim from them. They activated the oneplus imei so that might be the original problem. I really need to fix this.
AT&T can fix it. It's a HUGE pain, but it can be done. Do you have another phone on your account with the same size sim and LTE? My argument to ATT was this:
My wife has a S7 and gets LTE coverage. Phones side by side, the 5T states H+. I take the sim out of the S7 and put it in the 5T and boom LTE.
Support finally did something with the IMEI and ICCID on my account. After two reboots (no idea why two boots unless whatever he tried first didn't work), I got LTE with my sim on ATT. Don't bother with an ATT store as they have proven to be completely worthless. It's not an 'uncommon' problem. Keep contacting support until you get someone who can help you.

That was exactly my problem. I cannot believe the ATT store cannot and or would not fix it for me. Anyway I ordered a new sim for my number directly from
ATT and it worked for me. As the ATT tech support said the ATT store sim was for the wrong ICCID. Hope this helps someone.
