Hello, My daughter been playing with my old AT&T Note 2 so I got her a Sim so she could use it. Well it wont get a signal BUT sometimes it will show a AT&T with a G or an E and and I look and it doesnt show a phone number it says unknown but my phone wont get a signal. Could there be something wrong with my phone or could it be on their end? I reinstalled 4.4.2 through Odin and same results.
Thoughts?
Is the sim from AT&T or an AT*T sub brand? The sim works in another phone?
It's right from the store, I went there and got it. I can't see if it works in another phone it's a larger sim and I have all Nexus phones.
The Nexus 4 and 5 use a micro sim which is the same size as the Note 2. You have a Nexus 6?
This is a note 2 i317 and I do have a moto Nexus 6 and it's not the same. That card is one size up unfortunately...
I'm at work but I will double check tonight when I get home...
Well I resolved my issue... I went to cancel the number and the lady gave me a Galaxy S5 for $2.78 with no contract and no commitment since I been a member since 2005.

Hello All,
I am having an issue where I am unable to get any data on my Unlocked TMobile Samsung Note II. I am currently using a ATT One X+ and get full bars of LTE service in my area, while I understand I will not be able to get LTE service on the device, I cannot get any data. The default APN on the phone was Cingular 410, I've also attempted to create a new APN mirroring the exact settings on my HTC One X+. I've reflashed the stock OS and bootloader and issue persists.
I've done some searching and found one similar issue, I am currently using a NANO LTE slim from my ATT iPhone 5 with a nano to micro converter. The post I found said the user had some issue doing this as well and went to ATT for a LTE Micro SIM and his issue was solved. I'm not sure how this would make a difference since the Nano to Micro works just fine in my ATT One X+.
I was under the impression from what I read online I would just need to pop in my ATT LTE sim into the Unlocked TMobile Note II and be on my way with any data lower than LTE. I have also verified I am successfully able to make calls with the ATT sim inserted into the Unlocked TMobile Note II
Any insight would be beneficial? Thanks!
Did you change the apn?

Turns out I thing I got scammed, thanks craigslist. I think the modem is blown out on this phone, My phone will not even register a SIM is inserted in it anymore, even when using a TMobile SIM.
Is there anything I can do, go to TMobile or reach out to Samsung for support?

Would you mind sharing what happened and what's wrong with the modem? When you bought the phone, didn't you put your sim in and test it?

Hi, I have the UK 4G galaxy tab 3 8.0. I've been using a Three network voice/text/data sim in it for a few months, till I tried to go on the the browser and it said 'Your Sim Will Only Work in Your Phone'. Tried everything I could think of to get it to work. I called the network explained that my tab was a phone because I've been making calls off of it. They was having none of it and said my sim will no longer work for data inside my tab....killer!! It's my only source of internet and I haven't got another device to use it with. I was thinking possibly if I root it, there may be a utility which allows me to change what my tab is seen as. For example change it so it's recognised as a phone and then my sim will start working again. It's never going to work again as it is at the moment. I've rooted it before and didn't really want to do it again, because it kept screwing my data connection, I unrooted and it's been fine for weeks. Please someone help! If I have missed any details, sorry.
P.s the tab came from Vodafone UK with a sim contract that is not being used anymore, I bought the tab near enough brand new but still pre-owned.
Thanks anyway
This is more of a general ATT thread, but it does relate to my note 4.....
I have a one plus one, and my note 4 and from day to day I want the flexibilty to swap phones as I see fit. It used to be move the sim, and you're good. Lately, I've see issues when I moved my sim from phone to phone.
The first was last week, I bought an alpha clone off of craigslist and voice would work, but data would not. I dropped it back into my one plus one, and same thing, no data. Went to an ATT store, and they did an IMEI swap on my account and all was well in the world. Years ago, the IMEI swap on the carrier system kinda just followed the phones and wasnt ever an 'official' thing...but now it seems it is. Any ideas on this, can I swap my IMEI online with ATT?
Obviously I did a search on it, and it takes me to the ATT website, but it looks more along the lines of swapping when you've made an official order, not just because you want to. Am I missing something?
Change the sim card. When I went from my g2 to a nexus 5 I swapped the sim when I got the nexus 5 in the mail and data wasn't working ect. I go down to the AT&T store and talk to the same girl who's actually on the ball there and we found out that if you have an ICIS sim card it won't work on phones they don't sell. Just get a generic lte sim and see if that fixes it. Good luck!
The Sims that are blue are lte Sims don't get the ones that are purple those are isis

Is that what ATT is giving out by default now? I have a nano sim (that i got for that nexus clone) and it works fine in my OPO. If I put it in my note 4, I only get 4G, not LTE, which I thought was odd. I can do as suggested, just want to make sure I understand first...
All att Sims are lte capable but the purple ones are softcard (isis) compatible, meaning they have the correct security features for the use of isis enabled devices

ok, so he meant isis above.
I think this is just a standard att LTE card...its orange...and it DOES work in my OPO, so I think that theory is out.
Call customer care and give them the imei of a phone that supports lte and have them add that and just not change the sim

The Isis/Softcard is a problem as described above, but there's also a "nextgenphone" feature that goes on your account with newer phones (along with your normal data feature) and newer phones are using that with a related APN so it could have something to do with that new feature. Haven't figured it out yet but I'm playing with the system & I'll post what I find. So far all my secure sims have changed phones fine. My Gear S gave me a couple problems but I'm not sure if they were related.

Interesting. When I went to another ATT store a few weeks ago to change to a nano sim, the rep changed some codes on my plan. I got this in an email:
DELETED MOBILESHAREVSL64VT
ADDED MOBILESHAREVP20
Last night I went to a different ATT store than usual, and found out they were just a partner (though you could never tell it) and he said there were a few wonky codes on my plan, one of which mentioned something about APNs...so maybe youre on to something. He was under the impression it was grandfathered though, so it was old. He could, of course be wrong.
He also tried his SIM (oh and I have a non-secure sim) in my one plus one from his moto x 2014 and it worked just fine. LTE and everything. He put my sim into his X, and got 4G only, no LTE.
So he swapped me back into a non-secure micro sim, just to try things out again, and I left the store with my one plus one working. I came home, dropped it into my Note 4, and got 4G only, no LTE. When I put it back into my OPO, I got a text message saying I needed a new sim to work with my phones new feature. Weird.
The original feature is just normal mobile share data but I'll have to look up the second one I haven't seen that in the system. What i know is that once you put your sim in a newer phone (last few months) the system auto adds that nextgen feature & you end up either needing a secure sim or have to put the correct imei on the account

So that sounds like its our culprit.
If i have a secure sim for my note 4....can I move that to my OPO? I've heard no, but I've also heard yes...
I have been swapping my Sim card that I got with my Note 4 with my Note 3 Nokia 1520 and my Gear S. I have had data act up but only with the Note 4. Everything else has worked fine. In the Note 4 what I have done is add the older apn and toggle to that apn. Let it pickup the 4G lte icon or whatever it is. Got to phone app settings advanced settings and make sure you don't get an error. Then switch back to the Nextgen apn.
Worked for me.

For Christmas I got an iPhone 5s for my daughter,to replace her iPhone 4s.Its been so long since I've used an iphone. Christmas morning she opened it.I told her just swap your Sim card,she came back down kinda upset and said it didnt fit.Now I felt bad,ATT isn't open nothing I could do.I remembered once I took a Sim that was too small and crazy glued it to a iPhone 3g Sim tray and it worked.So I googled cutting an iPhone 5s Sim card,and there's actually a template you can DL and trace where to cut.For some reason my printer didn't want to work so used a ruler and the dimensions that were on the site,it was micro Sim to nano sim. I got really sharp heavy duty scissors and cut it,sanded the sides and corner,even the non contact side because the nano is like a hair thinner,fit right in sim tray and worked perfect.I've offered to give her my S5,nope lol these kids and there Iphones.And that phones IMEI was on my plan that day,it was an ATT phone from someone who recently got a 6plus that I got it from.
Looking at buying an N4 used on Amazon. As such it will not have the SIM. Will my S4 SIM work or will I need to get one from Sprint?

I dont think Sprint sells 'burner sims' as easily as Tmobile does. But ive never gone the route youre going.
People have had success with swapping SIMs (on same carriers, of course), so id do a little more research before you buy.

Initially when I got the note 4 in October around the release date, there were issues with the signal quality and I read a few threads that stated if you swap the SIM card it would fix the issue. I had a previous s4 I was using with Sprint and I did swap the SIM card to my new sprint note 4 and it booted and worked OK but I didn't really see any improvement . so I ended up swapping the card back to the original sprint note 4 sim card and had it reactivated. So for me going from Sprint s4 to sprint note 4 I was able to swap the SIM card. your mileage may vary?
My Sprint store gave me one for free. They just asked if I was going to activate my phone on Sprint.
Got my 16GB Ice Nexus 5x today. Took my att nano sim out of my nexus 6 and put it in 5x. Phone said no sim detected. Tried about 20 more times taking it out putting back in, nothing. Tried my old tmobile sim, nothing. Went to att store got a brand new nano. Still nothing. Working on getting it replaced now. Wont detect anyyyyyy sim. ugggggg
Maybe you your 5x needs to be added to their database? Not sure but I had a similar issue with my N5 with Sprint when they first released and bought direct from Google

A friend posted that he needs to buy a new SIM for his 5X because the SIM from his N6 is the same size but electronically different. (His is a Project Fi SIM if that matters.)
I'm skeptical about that but it seems clear that you are also having an issue using the SIM from an N6. I'm wondering if the SIM from my N5 is going to work.
this made me cut my att sim a few minutes ago from my N5. The cutter worked fine. http://tinyurl.com/o39so98
tested in N5X and worked fine, H to LTE hand off was about the same as N5, I was worried about that, but it's all good.
I put it back into the N5. But I had to use the old surround from att sim instead of the adapter that comes with that cutter.
There's a small difference, and for sure you can definitely f this up if not careful.
My Ting/GSM (The carrier who must not be named is T-Mobile ) Sim worked without difficulty. It was die cut for the smaller size. I kept the part I popped it out of just in case.
It took a surprisingly long time to get on the network. I kept checking and it showed no phone number for what seemed like a long time. I started looking into the Ting web pages and started to run through the process of activating a phone, thinking I needed to do that. At that point when I went to the settings to get the IMEI I saw that it had the phone number and calling was working. It was probably over an hour.
i have this problem too actually. After trying maybe 10 times it worked, but it would keep saying no sim card, and it would IMMEDIATELY work on my MXPE. That being said, i probably need a new sim card. A coworkers SIM card worked without issue.
