I've searched quite a bit on this site and others and haven't found a clear answer to this question.
I'm trying to suppress the SIM message in my LG G4 now that I'm using a Red Pocket GSMA SIM card. What app / system service should I disable or remove to get rid of "SIM card is not from Verizon Wireless"?
I should mention I don't have / can't find any activation agent app, which is the most common answer for other non-LG phones.

When I update my voicemail settings, or call forwarding, I get a "Unexpected response fron network" error message. I called my provider (Rogers) and said it appears to be correct on their system... However, it doesn't seem so because when people call me, they get forwarded to Google Voice... I already uninstalled Google Voice, and it was taken out already, however, it still forwards to there which is a USA number and I'm in Canada, so people who call me get forwarded to a long distance number and it bothers me and them so much...
Rogers told me to contact HTC but I want to hear your solutions first guys... BTW, I'm using the Virtuous ROM (which is almost entirely stock packages)
Help?

did you use the star codes to disable call forwarding?
What are the star code? Already forgot them... heh

I was getting the same error and this worked for my desire on orange:-

"Try sending ##21# which is the network code to cancel all forwarding."
Call Forwarding Problem
I have an unlocked AT&T Atrix on Orange UK running Gingerbread. As soon as you go and look at the Call Forwarding options the phone indicates that all calls are Forwarded and the Icon top left turns on, disabling 'Foward All' shows disabled for a few seconds then comes back with the 'Unexpected reponse from network' message, although calls are not actually Forwarded (can still receive calls). Old SIM card, but OK in old V3x phone. I tried with a '3' Network SIM and all works as expected, so definitely an Orange problem with Android/Atrix. I called Orange who sent some SIM updates one of which failed, called them again and they decided to send me a new SIM but this has made no difference at all.
Only way to reset the indicator and message once on, is to enter ##21# which does the job.
Just an annoying Network bug but interested if anyone knows how to get Orange (and I guess T-Mobile) to do anything about this as it seems from other research to affect several different phone makes and models.
Same issue
I'm Having the same issue on Rogers with my Xperia ion....still ahven't sorted it out
Any Resolution to this issue? I have what appears to be an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S7 Active from ATT and attempting to use my CRICKET SIM and I get this message.
Hi guys my Verizon G4 is been used in Mexico (with a Mexican SIM), however I can't dial some carrier specific numbers. Example *86 (voice mail) it says invalid number, *611 (Customer Service) it says Welcome to Verizon Wireless mobile roaming hotline, *773 it popups an error saying "Connection problem or invalid MMI code"
So I'm thinking that maybe the apk's that are involved for the phone to work are "carrier specific", So was wondering if I replace those apks from an international version or at least not carrier specific device, could this problem be solved?
Thanks
This is probably a verizon (location) error. Replacing the app in your phone will not change this.
They probably block *86 when you are roaming internationally because they charge you per minute used, and checking your voicemail is billable.
You are also ROAMING on someone elses network, that does not recognize *86. Honestly I would just pick up a local prepaid SIM card.
Words of wisdom, be VERY VERY careful. It is very expensive to do what you are doing. International voice roaming is like $2.75 a minute and text messages are like $1.25 PER message (incoming or outgoing). You can pick up a local prepaid sim and callforward your verizon number to your local number.

Thanks but I guess you missed the part been used in Mexico (with a Mexican SIM)
But anyways I found how to bypass those errors , when I have to dial *86 I just add a + and voila.. So the dialed number should be *+86
Dual SIM phones are becoming more available in the developed world, and I think there is a great use case for them here that seems rather untapped: the consolidation of work and personal phones.
At the moment, the way that dual-SIM communications is handled is tailored to combining communications from both SIMs into one place; I want to keep them separate.
For calls: the app "Dual Sim Selector" is essentially exactly what I want for calls, however it's interaction with LineageOS seems to be slightly disjointed (if anyone knows how to suppress the OS's sim selector prompt whilst not overriding the above app's selection, this app would be perfect). The critically valuable part of this app is that I can, carte blanche, automatically assign contacts from any given account (google acct, exchange acct) to use a particular SIM; all other numbers it prompts.
For SMS, however, I've yet to find a viable solution: I want separate inboxes for each SIM. Tabs within an app, separate SMS apps, I don't care; I just don't want to accidentally send one of my clients a sexy text message by accident.
So my two questions:
How can I get the Dual Sim Selector to work nicely with the dialer? and
How can I keep my SMS inboxes separate?
Dual Sim Selector's behaviour on LineageOS on my ZTE Axon 7:
With OS's SIM settings to "Ask every time": Dual Sim Selector app works as expected, however OS prompt still present. Dismissing OS prompt by tapping outside terminates call; selecting any option changes theme and information on dialer but does not affect the SIM choice, the app's SIM choice is used.
With OS's SIM settings to default to one SIM: App's choice is disregarded.
I've contacted the developer, they've pointed the finger at abnormal implementation of LineageOS's sim selection dialogue.

I have a similar issue with my Honor 5X and Lineage OS 14.1.
If I set, in options, to "always ask" which SIM to use when calling, I cannot make calls from my car using bletooth, because the phone wants to know which SIM to use.
The best solution, in my opinion, would be to have two buttons on the dialer, one to call using SIM 1 and one for SIM 2 (just like it is in the standard EMUI dialer).
That way, I could set, in options, to "Use SIM 1 for calls", be able to easily choose which SIM to use for calling and be able to make calls in car using bluetooth with the default SIM.
I have a t-mobile branded 7T that I unlocked and global'ified to use dual SIMs. as I live overseas, I have both my t-mobile sim (for text message for 2FA) and my local sim. To avoid accidentally picking up the phone for scam calls, I did unconditionally forwarding to my google voice number. But because of this, it now shows an annoying notification "forwarding all calls" that can't be dismissed.
I've gone into the notification settings and deprioritized it as much as I can (so its generally on the bottom and "minimized") but wondering if anyone knows a way to get rid of it for good on a non rooted phone?
Not sure how many people out there got eSIM working with AT&T on their Fold 3. But 2 or so weeks ago I went into AT&T and got them to get eSIM working on my Fold 3. It's been working great till recently. I think it might have been with adding a 2nd line (Tello).
SIM1 = Tello
eSIM = AT&T
right now Tello works great. AT&T... I can get Text and data but I can't make any phone calls or receive any phone calls. Anyone else using the DUAL setup?? I went in to get a new eSIM and same thing. Can't make or receive call but I can text and receive text and get data.
I have removed the Tello Sim card for good measure. Rebooting a good dozen times and no matter what I can't get AT&T to dial out or get calls.
Any ideas??
Honestly sounds like the esim from att wasn't provisioned correctly. I'd try to get them to remove it from their system and readd it

i was warned about this scenario by an ATT Manager; he said that the physical sim had to be an ATT sim. i have an unlocked ATT Z Fold 3, however, i haven't tried using another carrier's sim/esim. I also have a network unlocked, ATT S22U with a T-Mobile eSim and an ATT physical sim. phone calls and text msgs work fine, as long as i use Samsung Messages (no the Google version). if i use Google's version of messages, group chats don't always work.
I have an unlocked fold 3 and use a Google Fi physical sim, and had a GSMA (AT&T) eSIM with Red Pocket. Both worked perfectly fine with no problems. Phone calls, texts and data were flawless on both networks.
Google Messages does have an issue it with dual sim. For example while connected to the mobile network if your preferred sim is set to the physical sim, but you try to send an mms with the number associated with the eSIM you will have to switch to the eSIM to send it. Chat messages are effected the same way. Text messages don't seem to be impacted that I have encountered. Receiving messages seems to be effected in the same manner. Google Messages works normally when connected to WiFi and using RCS Chat
Since we can only have one data connection active on one sim at the same time, Google Messages gets weird about it. The issue is not present with Samsung Messages or Textra. Until Google updates the Messages app to fix the issue you will have to either change the preferred sim back and forth, use RCS on WiFi only, use Samsung Messages or use another 3rd party messaging app that has dual sim properly working.
Also be aware changing the preferred sim will also make it the default for messaging and phone calls. For some reason we lack the setting to specify which sim for calling and messaging. So if your eSIM is the primary number you use and switch to the physical sim, all your calls/messages will come from the physical sim. Using the shortcuts i mention below won't fully resolve this either. You can use an app like multi sim selector to help with the calling, but the messages you will have to be aware of what number your messaging from (sim 1 or sim 2) or the above suggestions.
@OP - Might be worth getting a hold of AT&T and asking them to make sure the eSIM is provisioned correctly on your (and AT&T) end. If it was working and then not it sounds like an AT&T issue.
I'm not sure if this applies here, but I've read a few comments on the AT&T forums AT&T prepaid doesn't play well with eSIM. I can't verify that to be true or not since I don't have the prepaid service through AT&T.
Meanwhile make sure you have set the eSIM up properly in the sim card manager. At first my eSIM did not have the APN selected as active, I had to manaually mark it as such... Secondly does the call/text issue occur when the eSIM is set as the primary sim? If so go through and double check the sim card manager settings so you have DSDS enabled.
You might want to get an app like Quick Shortcut Maker and look for "Mobile Network".. There are a few sim manager settings that might help resolve some issues your having. I attached an image to help find the shortcuts.
