how come when i'm using the sim card of another country, the t-mobile is still the one that is shown my phone's network status? and in the notification bar its showing 2 network which is the t-mobile network and globe network. when i select search networks in the wireless settings it's only showing t-mobile and at&t.
my phone has been unlocked, and i can recieve text messages from the philippines in my globe sim card. but i if i make some calls it's saying that the phone is not allowed to make outgoing calls while using that sim card.
any ideas?

I think that is normal when you are roaming. My nokia is alternating between vodafone IE and whoever I'm roaming on. Even the Truphone sim does it.
oh thanks. this is my first roaming sim that's why I don't have any idea about it.

Hi Guys,
My friend has asked me for some help with his x10i.
He's purchased it from a market, and it was locked to T-mobile.
Its since been network unlocked by a local store, in theory to allow use of any network sim card.
However when you boot the phone with a sim card in, it comes up on the notification bar
"Phone Not Allowed MM#6"
It will show the little signal bar full.
Checking phone status it shows
Service state - In service
Mobile Network State Disconnected.
It appears to register onto a network, be that orange o2 ect.
But we are unable to make outbound calls, receive calls.
Yet browsing via gprs is working.
I have checked the IMEI with the T mobile. They advised that the phone is clean and not barred.
I have Tried different Sim cards i know are working.
I have Flashed the Firmware back to Stock, Tried the Latest Firm and a few other different combinations.
I am now Stuck.
Any suggestions?
Thank you
Bump......?

did u try calling the network provider your sim card is with? they usually may have to program the network with imei number of the phone
u can also try going to network settings, search networks and choose the one u r on.
so back again
recently had a post about my galaxy s2 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1502801 ) having network connection problems
so since the galaxy was bought second hand, i unblocked it with helroz application. The point is - it doesn't recognize my sim card in the country where i am now (Orange - France -only emergency calls), but accpets my foreign sim card (Roaming of course - but connected to one of the operators (SFR)).
Does this suppose to mean it's barred?
Does not accept a sim card
Sim Card faulty
Sim Card blocked .
And what do you mean by not accept have you set the Orange network connections ??
jje
both 2 cards work perfectly on other phones, so i don't think it's sim card problem
for each card the gsm ask for pin code - correctly input
but only for the orange card shows - emergency calls only
by settings you mean the APN?
aren't they supposed to be automatic when you insert the sim?

Nope, sometime you need to configure yourself, send message by you network operator or manual install, just give them a call
APN are fine
they were correct, deleted anyway and input again, same situation....
other suggestions?
still don't get if phone is barred why is my foreign sim card working since it uses the roaming netowrk?
Hi
My phone is Star OneM92 dual sim Chinese S3 clone running 4.1
I'm experiencing a problem with my Virgin (UK) sim. The phone is automatically throwing it in to roaming mode. The "r" sign comes up at the signal bar.
I've checked with Virgin and they confirm no roaming charges apply as its a domestic sim. Of course when I told them the phone is copy they immediatly threw a fit and I got a lecture how I should never of you one in the first place.
Its dam annoying when I make a call. I have to confirm I want to use a roaming sim.
I've tried different positions and other sim cards from O2 and Vodafone and they work fine.
Can anyone shed any light on to this and advise how I can get around this.
By the way, I know I shouldn't of got a clone and yes I'm a noob and all that. Apologies for my inexperience in advance

Hello all,
I have been unable to find a clear answer to this question--I hope you will bear with me:
I have a Galaxy Note 2 from Verizon running Android 4.3. Before leaving for a trip to India this week I confirmed with Verizon customer service that the phone was unlocked. In Delhi I purchased a local sim card (from Airtel) and inserted it. Voice and text work perfectly but the data plan does not. The sim works when inserted into other phones but not in this one. The Airtel techs cannot figure it out. I have access to the APN settings under the Mobile Networks menu and have edited the Name, APN, Server, APN type etc. as indicated by Airtel but no dice. When I go to "Select" it finds Airtel after some spinning and when I select Airtel from "Network Operators" I get a "registered on network" message but still can't get data.
Is it the case that Verizon locks the data on this phone? Is there any way for me to unlock this from India? I don't really know anything about rooting phones.
Any help appreciated!
I also use the same handset in India and use other operator sim...no trouble so far in data

I have a strange issue with dual SIM.
I use a Telekom SIM in Slot 1 and a Vodafone SIM in slot 2.
Both Sims are correctly registered in their network and I can use data with either Sim card.
I settings I I did not preset any SIM for outgoing calls, so I can choose in the dialer which SIM I want to use for the call. However, no matter which SIM I use, always SIM 1 (Telekom) does the outgoing call.
if I deactivate SIM 1 and do a call, SIM 2 should automatically be used. But then I get an error "mobile network not available". Although data via the mobile network is working.
If I completely remove the Telekom SIM from the phone, everything works fine with the Vodafone SIM. So it is not a problem of the SIM card itself.
If I swap SIM cards and put Telekom in SIM2 and Vodafone in SIM1, also always the Telekom SIM is used. (SIM2 now).
I appreciate any help or ideas.
Same problem
I have the same problem and it is very strange why not people have noticed, I almost didn't find it in any reviews
I use 2 Sims as well be it 2 Swiss Providers but for me everything works as it should. I can choose to Use either Sim1 or Sim2 which works as it should. I can also set to use Data from either Sim1 or Sim 2 or even combined.
So it might not be that noone has noticed this problem - which could be provider specific - perhaps its just working fine for them, like it is for me

How Can you use combined data for sim1&sim2

Hi Guys,
Just realized a quick fix for myself.
Settings-> Apps -> Apps -> Tap on Settings (3 Vertical Dots on right hand top corner) - > Show system Processes -> Type Search for "Phone"
Clear Cache and Data for:
1. Phone Services
2. Phone/Messaging Storage
Reboot. the calling function on both the sims should get functional.
Cheers!
