[AUSTRALIA] "Check the USIM is installed. Cell phone function is limited." (sic)
Hey, I recently bought a LG Optimus G Pro online and got it posted to Australia. The Phone refuses to read any SIM cards that I install in it. I get an error saying "Check the USIM card is installed. Cell phone function is limited. Outgoing calls are only. -Emergency calls only" (sic) I have tried a TPG SIM card and a LycaMobile SIM card. I get the same error for both sim cards. If anyone knows any ways of resolving this issue I would appreciate your input
P.S I don't know what it means by "Outgoing calls are only" I cant send/receive calls or text messages.
Which variant did you buy? There is a possibility that device is network-locked, so you can't use it unless you unlock it.

I'm currently in Taiwan for about a week, and am trying to use my T-mobile SGSII with a Taiwanese SIM card. I got my phone unlocked before I left, and I'm not getting any errors with the SIM card. However it looks like it's not working. I'm not seeing any network signal. If I try to search for a network it says "Error while searching for networks". If I try to select a network automatically, it says "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network."
Anything I'm missing?
Thanks!

Sim my be bad.... Check ur apn settings...make sure they r from the sim.
I went to el salvador and this girl kept dialing some numbers on keypad and #*# n they finally got it to work...if no luck take it to tech office
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Well I eventually gave up on getting the Taiwanese SIM card working, but now I'm back in the states and my phone can't seem to recognize my original T-mobile SIM card anymore. I can't get any sort of network connection, and I get the same error messages when trying to change the network settings. Wifi is working fine.
The SIM card is fine, because I popped it into an old unlocked dumb phone I had, and was able to make calls with it... any ideas?
Thanks!
So it looks like my phone is stuck in flight mode, although Wifi works. When I goto Settings > About Phone > Status, the Service state says "Radio off"...
Hi there,
I have been having a very weird issue with my phone lately, I originally put a Simcard in my S3 and it happened to bend the Simcard reader pins. After purchasing a new model of the Simcard tray and getting it installed by a professional (OEM Part) It does not read my Simcard, instead it gives me a notifcation "Emergency Calls only" When putting the same Simcard into another same model (Samsung Galaxy s3 i747) It picks up a signal automatically. However, what is the weird issue is... When putting a bell/virgin simcard into my current phone it picks up a signal (Able to pickup calls & Send Messages) How can this be?
PS. I am almost certain this phone is Unlocked.
Thanks for your contributions.

Check the APN settings and make sure they are set to your carrier.

Could this be the actual issue? Since I am using the "PETRO CANADA MOBILITY" Sim/Network, And it does run/associated on the "Rogers Wireless Network" When booting up my phone it does detect a "Petro Canada Mobility" network in the phone menu after searching. However when pressing on it, it fails by saying "No Service Detected" Then quickly re-searches and hooks up to "ROGERS WIRELESS" (Also Gives me 4G DATA connection) Rogers - which is the factory setting APN setting. However, when placing a call it tells "Mobile Network Unavailable" why does this seem not to be the case when I put in a Virgin Mobile sim or Bell Mobility simcard?
I will try to change the APN hopefully this well effect the outcome. :good:
Hi,
Please can someone help? I have an unlocked HTC 8S phone (purchased from eBay), but no matter which SIM I use I get a "No Signal" message on the phone.
The phone detects the SIM cards (I've tried Three, Sainsburys, and O2) and it downloads the connection/configuration data, but I get a "No Signal" message - so I can't make calls or send texts. I can go on the Internet though...
Is there a problem with SIM card slot? Maybe the aerial?
Thinking about it now, perhaps the phone was stolen and original owner has blocked it(?) Would the above issues be as a result of a blocked phone?
Thanks,
Paul
Hey all,
This may or may not be ROM specific, but I just switched carriers and for the time that my number was being ported, I had both my old SIM card (Net10 on AT&T towers) and my new SIM card (T-Mobile) in the phone. During that crossover time, everything worked fine. In the SIM settings page, the carrier for each SIM and the associated phone number appeared correctly. However, once I removed my old SIM (phone was powered down any time I changed SIMs) the phone still functions fine for calls, texts, and data, but it no longer recognizes the SIM carrier or phone number.
This is made worse, as the carrier has an app that checks the SIM card before running, now, the app just shows "We do not recognize your SIM card".
I also noticed that carrier specific dialer codes no longer function. For example, if you dial #264# you should be presented with the status of T-Mobiles "Binge On" feature, but now it just does nothing once I hit call.
I have tried swapping the SIM between slot 1 and slot 2, I have also tried rebooting numerous times, all to no avail. I'd really prefer to not have to switch ROMs, but if that ends up being the solution, I guess I'll do it.
Any help would be appricated.
Thanks,
Austin

What does your Settings>About Phone>Sim Status show?
There are some apps (root+Xposed required) which edit the number in the sim. You can also input a number if it is blank in the sim.
Failing this, you may have to approach your service provider.

The Phone Number row shows as Unknown in there as well. However, if I insert my old sim in the other sim slot it then shows my correct phone number.
So the number is there in the sim, but for some reason is only read if I have both sims in.
Hi
I have an issue with my dual sim S9. Sim one is on Three UK and sim two is Vodafone UK. " Dual sim always on " is enabled but when I'm connected on a call the other sim card will not accept incoming calls. The sim I'm connected to for the call will show via call waiting if another incoming call is waiting but only for that sim card. It effectively means that the other sim is offline until I end my call. Being my first dual sim phone I thought I'd be able to be notified about incoming calls on both sim cards at the same time (if I'm on sim1 and a call comes in on sim2 for example)?
The other issue I have is that the Three sim is personal and the Vodafone sim is work. When dual sim is enabled it automatically forwards calls from sim1 to sims2 and vice versa when the phone is unreachable. This means personal contacts end up leaving messages on my work voicemail and work customers end up getting through to my personal sim. (I'm also assuming my network will be charging me to forward calls to the other network)
If this is how it works then I'll have to go back to two phones as I can't mix personal and work calls like that.
Thanks.
Me also i go this problem.. This is a very FAKE DUal SIM ! it does not receive all on both sim at the same time. Huawei p20 pro receive call at the same time
