so I bought this phone carrier locked onto Tesco mobile and it's dual SIM but my question is does both of the Sims need to be Tesco mobile or can one be another carrier?

A sim costs like a pound. Buy a different sim and test it out. I honestly do not think it will be carrier locked.

You can use either one if you have your device SIM unlocked. All you have to do is pop in the new SIM, and you're good to go.

I've never used a GoPhone, or any prepaid service. I think you might need to activate the service on the prepaid phone, and then transfer the SIM to the Rhodium. I think you'll have to keep track of the minutes/units on the website for the service, if it's one of those pay-per-minute/unit services.
Anyway, as I mentioned, as long as your device is SIM unlocked, you should be able to use any SIM card from anywhere in the world in it without any problem.
Please help. Does a prepaid wildfire s cell phone have a sim card slot? So, say I already have a plan can I buy one of these prepaid wildfire s phones and put in my sim card?
The Virgin Mobile USA, US Cellular, and MetroPCS Wildfire S phones do not have SIM cards as they are CDMA.
However, if you get your phone from T-Mobile, Virgin Mobile Canada, or most any European carrier you will have a SIM card slot.
So, if you want a SIM card slot, a GSM variant of the phone is required (Marvel) and you need to be sure to not get the CDMA variant.
Please be patient with me. I'm a dummy.
So, something like the following will have a sim card slot that I can use?

Oh! It's no problem. I apologize if I came across as impatient.
Yes, that phone should work with a SIM card.

Woohoo! I love you!
Just got a really really good deal for that phone. I'm a smart phone dummy.
No problem! Enjoy your WFS (Marvel).
If you plan to unlock bootloader/root or whatever, be sure that you follow guides for Marvel not Marvelc. They're two different versions of the WFS.
I have a rooted Htc One M8 with a custom rom (bought from AT&T more then 2 years ago), with an AT&T sim it shows a lot of networks when you turn it on and ask you to choose one, I tried swapping to a T mobile sim card and it asked me for network unlock pin. Is it unlocked?

Hey guys, the only Pixel phones currently sim unlocked are the UK EE models, has anyone figured a way out to unlock these yet without waiting until contract expires or paying EE
There has been a solution, same as for Verizon bootloader's I believe. Have a look in skipsofts tool thread, you will find the link there ?
Or you can go here

Not talking about bootloader unlock mate, I'm talking about sim unlock, currently this phone will only accept EE/BT SIM cards.
That's really odd, I got mine on EE and it takes my three sim no problem.

Not sure why that is or why it works I haven't tried any other sims other then three. U should be able to unlock the same way you do there mobile hotspots using the imei number and a code.

That would be all well and good but this phone was bought on eBay and the seller won't respond to messages regarding sim unlocking :/

Did your three SIM work before you unlocked. What's weird is it doesn't even ask for an unlock code, just to contact EE

My bad, miss read
@ your local phone so maybe?
normally to get the unlock code you have to request on the back of your contract, likely if you bought the phone second hand the seller didn't unlock it because EE makes you wait 6 months and has a £9 fee while still in contract.
so chances are there is no easy way to unlock the device (unlocking bootloader and rooting doesn't remove the sim lock they are both very different things) without paying EE or another firm who claim to be able to get the unlock codes but as far as that goes it's how much you are willing to trust such firms.
so in short if it is your phone and you are with EE, you need to have been a customer with EE 6 months (not sure if you can short cut this by getting it as an upgrade) have your bill in good standing and pay a £9 fee, then they will give you the unlock code. if you got the phone second hand I would imagine you're pretty stuck.
any updates regarding ee simlock unlock?
Hi .I got the same problem .got phone from ee and only ee sim working .all other sim cards its just says no sim card inside and after a while its says sim not supported or simthings ..n also not asking for any unlock code aswell .
Deleted - misunderstood.

You can buy unlocked from Carphone Warehouse - they're all unlocked. I'm pretty sure EE sells a sim free version too.

I know, but mine is locked, sim locked bought from eBay so can go the EE route.
You can also use a Virgin sim card in the EE ones, I've just tried, and will use it temporarily until we have a Sim unlock.

Have to wait up to 10 days.
Is there anyway I can install other carrier e-sim on my verizon P6P
I have unlocked it but can't use e-sim other than verizon
I'm using Spectrum mobile and can install an Esim from any carrier that offers it. If you have a physical sim in slot one you should be able to add anothers provider Esim in slot 2.

Ok. I assumed it was the Google version since you said it was unlocked. I can't remember the last time I bought from a carrier but I would think that if it is SIM unlocked you should be able to do it.

I thought you were using Verizon as your primary.
Have you tried a physical SIM for your carrier? Does it at least work that way in the meantime?

I’m not sure how you managed to unlock the carrier through the bootloader… you wouldn’t have a Verizon P6P. Although Verizon automatically unlock their phones after 60 days. I do have a Verizon P6P and can confirm eSIM works fine with any other [US] carrier. Not sure outside of the US. Just ignore the Verizon verbiage and scan the other carrier’s QR code. Works every time. I’m using a T-Mobile eSIM in my Verizon P6P right now.
