Hi,
I just ran the unlocker on my HERM200 smarthone, originally registered on the Rogers network (Canada).
I have a sim card from my Motorola i560 MIKE phone, registered with Telus (again, Canada).
Can I take the sim card from my i560 and stick it into my HERM200?
If so, how do I register the phone on the Telus network?
Thanks!

hi guys does anybody know if it is possible to get my o2 xdmini s to except a 3 sim card, it excepts all other sim cards (virgin - vodafone) etc
thanks, jim
Think the simple answer is no.
My understanding is that three use a different frequency and specification - ie wideband CDMA for their mobile coverage, which is not compatible with sims from other carriers using gsm and/or 3gsm services.
If you correctly use the word "accept" instead of "except" in your future posts it will be much easier for people to help you.
one thing that i know is that it will work but no 3g

how? i sim unlocked my G4 mini s. It works with o2, vodafone and should be fine with orange.
But I did check to use my 3 simcard. However, it doesn't accept the card at all. (not only can't use 3G, but no phone feature is available to use)

Q: How do I know my G4 has ever been CID unlocked?

Try SIM Unlocking again. A 3G sim means that it's capable of 3G speeds in a 3G device. I'm currently using a 3G sim in a non 3G device and all is good.
If you didn't CID unlock your device yourself....more than likely it's still CID locked. G4's were only able to be CID unlocked by imei.com or something like that till now. There's a new CID unlocking tool floating around that works on G4's. Give it a try.

Thanks for the reply. But i thought the 3 networks and other networks are working completely different.
I have a sim-free phone. I can use O2, Orange, Vodafone, T-mobile, etc. But when I put my 3 sim-card in. It doesn't allow me to use it. I don't care the 3G speeds. It will be fine to me if I can use the 3 sim card to make a phone call.
The same situation for my Wizzard (O2 Mini S).

My Wizzard is Sim Unlocked, CID locked. I can use my regular sim cards, like O2, Vodafone, etc.
But why can't I use my 3g sim card to make any call? Any idea about this will be appreciated.
i believe the wizard phones arent made for 3g. so thats probably why your
3g sim wont work.
i emailed imei-check.co.uk and this was the reply
"This is TECHNICAL IMPOSSIBLE. Your device is a 2G device and can handle all GSM SIM cards.
"3" (3G network) does not have GSM SIM cards. They use special U-SIM cards (note the U in front) which are NOT GSM compatible.
In short: To use a "3" sim card you need a 3G/UMTS device which can handle U-SIM cards. Your device is NOT a 3G/UMTS device and thats why it will NEVER be able to use a U-SIM."
that sucks ive got 12 months left of my contract

Exactly, I have 17 and a half months left for my 3 contract.
But the guy "ultraprimeomega" above mentioned, he could use the 3 simcard as well as other simcards. It's very strange to me
I have a Bell Atrix and I have recently SIM Unlocked it. During the time I was in Canada and Bell SIM Card was in my phone, WiFi was fine but now I'm on a trip outside of canada and Celluar line works fine but no WiFi!!!
I tried searching internet and XDA for fix but no luck....Can anyone help?
My girlfriend bought a T-mobile HTC radar off craigslist and It wouldn't read a T-mobile sim card. Which I though was weird. So I bought a unlocked code and unlocked it with my AT&T sim card. The phone will work with the AT&T sim card but not with a t-mobile sim card. I've try a contract and pre-paid T-mobile sim and nothing. I went to T-mobile and got a brand new sim card and still nothing. Like I said if I put my AT&T sim in the phone it work fine. Can some one please help me to get this phone to read a t-mobile sim. I though once you unlocked it you could use any carrier that use a sim card.
you'll have to call t-mobile to activate it with the sim card

I don't think so. I regularly bounce between T-Mobile and AT&T with all my unlocked phones. The only limiting factor is the radio and the data bands that it receives. And, of course the Radar was made for T-Mo. Mine has always been great there.
Now, there are two versions of the phone. The US version is simply called the Radar and can use either T-Mobile or AT&T's networks. The international version is model C110E and called either the Radar or the Omega. It will work on AT&T, but it does not have the T-Mobile bands. It is made for data networks in Europe and it additional bands for Asia. The antenna configuration is different in the two phones.
Does your Radar say "T-Mobile" in the top right corner? Is it possible that you have the C110E?
I got a unlocked code and it works on my at&t sim card but not a T-Mobile one. I've try contact and prepaid sim cards. Nothing! I got a new sim card and nothing! It a T-Mobile HTC radar. It should work on T-Mobile but it don't. A Friend of mine said T-Mobile has lock the phone from there end. I got the unlocked code and it works with at&t sim but not T-Mobile. I don't like the windows one. I've unlocked 3 mytouch, 4 SGII and a galaxy note. This has been a pain in the ass from day one. If u think of a idea let me know it won't hurt.

Maybe the IMEI has been blocked by Tmo? Call and find out.
I bought a Moto E in Chile several months ago. It came with a SIM card from the company Claro, but they assured me it was unlocked. I switched the SIM to my Entel SIM card, and it worked fine. I took a trip to the U.S. and tried to use a SIM card from someone else's phone, but it asked for a PIN. I just figured the SIM was PIN locked, gave up and forgot about it. Now I'm in Colombia, and I tried several SIM cards from Claro, but they don't work. With my Chilean Entel SIM card, I still get roaming network access, but if I put any other SIM in (even my Chilean Claro SIM), I get no signal. Bizarre because the phone was originally a Claro phone.
So did the Entel SIM card somehow lock my phone to Entel?? That's the only explanation I can think of... If so, how can I unlock it?

Bands might not be supported! That's the best probable explanation since you have an unlocked phone, inserting a sim shouldn't lock it!

I checked that just in case, but the bands are supported. Anyway, if the bands weren't supported I wouldn't get roaming access with my Entel SIM either, right?
The people at Claro (and at Movistar too) told me I need to contact the store where I bought the phone and ask them for an unlock code. Unfortunately I don't have the receipt with me in Colombia, and I don't remember which store I bought the phone at... I guess I'll try just emailing every store I might have bought it at, but if that doesn't work, what other option do I have?
I purchased this phone unlocked from EE. I use it with eSIM on Vodafone UK no problem. In SIM 1 slot I have a US AT&T card and SD in slot 2.
My problem is that when I'm in the US I only get H+ on the AT&T SIM but I get 4G on my Vodafone SIM that is roaming on the AT&T network.
I've gone on the AT&T website to get the APN settings but APN type says "default,mms,supl,hipri" but I don't have the option to select default, supl or hiring.
Does anyone have the answer. I know there is an option to use Vodafone for data but I'm trying to ration it because there is a roaming limit.
