Hey guys,
I have a Bell Atrix that I got unlocked and have been using it on Rogers. I'm using the SIM from my old HTC Dream and it's been working fine until lately. The card is a little beat up and now for some odd reason when one of my contacts calls me it'll say "Pay Phone" on all contacts. I tried getting a new SIM from Rogers. I put in the SIM and started up the phone logged into motoblur and I'm unable to make calls. It keeps telling me that I can only make emergency calls. I have 5 signal bars at the top and no H+ icon like I do on the old SIM. The SIM they gave me looks a little bit different than my old SIM. the area where the pins on the phone rest is smaller on this new card. Did they give me the wrong SIM? Am I doing something wrong? I'd appreciate any help.
do a search for "pay phone" in the atrix forum you will find your answer for the first one. (not a sim card issue)
as for the second one, call rogers and tell them to make that your active sim (you will need to read off the numbers of the sim card to them)

Please help, have a horrible annoying problem…
Recently upgraded to iphone [to sell]
Put my micro sim in my phone until my normal sim arrived, once I got my normal sim and activated it I found I could longer make calls or send txts. But I can browse the web, very strange.
Currently my signal bar has an exclamation mark next to it, I’ve tried an Orange and T-Mobile sim which work absolutely fine, I have tried other O2 sims but get the same problem.
I’ve also tried flashing using task29, have tried radio’s 2.07.50, 2.10.50 and 2.12.50 and various different roms
Thanks in advance
does the sim still works in the iphone? If not its a sim failure and you should get a new one from your provider
check the small print, your sim probably belongs to jobs corp now, and has deactivated itself and reported your treason directly to the implant in steves head when you took it out of the iphone
Lol going to have to sleep with one eye open...but to answer wilwilwel the micro sim no longer works and the sim im using at the moment works absolutely fine in any other phone
HELP!
I dont know how to get home with out my htc
TL/DR
Can I get data working on my T-mobile sim for straight talk?
Hey guys, I was on the phone with straight talk and I got someone who could finally get an issue fixed, Well kinda.
Let me give you some background, I bought an ATT SIM off ebay for $50(Well so I thought) and it turned out to be a T-Mobile sim.
My phone itself works I can make calls and send texts but my reception is not so great. I had no data or MMS for the past month (Since I got the phone.)
I've called straight talk a few times with no luck But I was able to talk to someone that knew something. Turnes out I have a T-moble sim and my phone can't get data, It will just redirect to androidapi.t-mobile.com/apppack/mvno.html .
He asked me what color my sim was and I thought it was kinda weird but my sim was pink, He said thats a t-mobile sim and the ATT sims are blue, He also told me that stuff like this happens all the time and I would have to re-buy an ATT sim.
I opened a dispute on ebay for my money back but no response yet.
With this being said can I get data working on my T-mobile sim for straight talk or am I ****ed?
Thanks.
Google "straight talk T-Mobile APN settings"

Sims are only $15 for straight talk. Hope you got minutes with it. Since it is T-mobile you will have to sim unlock your phone. Either call ATT and get the unlock code, pay a third party, or root your phone and follow crixley's guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124544 to unlock your phone for free. After the phone is unlocked you may need to enter your APN info and/or install another modem to get full data speed on the T-mobile network.
Hey everyone. Recently I did the free sim unlock that crixley posted. Now I checked the phone to see if it was unlocked by entering the special code on the dial pad. I followed the instructions carefully but nevertheless - my i717 kept saying "No SIM Card" whenever I put in the tmobile sim but it read my att sim when I put it in. Now i tried different modems/radios but still the same thing. Im not sure if its a problem with the sim because it is old. It came with my HTC Sensation 4g from tmobile and that was about early 2012. The sim has just been in a box with stuff all over it to so I dont know if its ruined. What do you guys think? Ill post a pic of both sims. Ill post a pic of unlock message to. Thanks!
Top Is Tmobile sim
bot is att sim
You unlocked the phone -- why? You don't have an account with a non-at&t carrier?
Just borrow a non-at&t sim card from anyone.

It was a given to me. And I want to use it at tmobile
Oddly enough, my sim tray will only work with only one sim. And unfortunately, it is a broadband sim. Where I can't text and call. When it comes to regular sims, it would do say 'no SIM card.' Does anybody know what to do? Thanks
I am having the same kind of issue as well. I have a att i717 on stock 4.1.2 no root and sim carrier unlocked. Actually I have 2 EXACTLY the same, the one I've been using for 6 months with a cricket sim card have had no issues. With this 2nd i717 that I got yesterday, its now sim unlocked not rooted on 4.1.2, just like mine, my cricket sim works in it just fine but my sons metro pcs sim doesn't. My goal is for my son to have the exact same phone as me but with his metro pcs sim. Any help please? My son goes back to his moms tomorrow night and was really hoping he can go back with his big o phone working with his metro pcs sim.
Now I'm soo broke I can't even pay attention!
[SOLVED]
Everyone, after months of waiting and keeping it in stock condition, my sim is now working. After playing with sim tray, I solved it. Just keep the metal frames up, all the metal frames.
I have an lg k8+ model x210ulm that i want to use with cricket. The phone is fully unlocked and will accept any sim from any carrier but has an odd behaviour that wont let me use my own sim.
I bought a feesh sim from cricket and when i put it in and set it up it will register with crickets apn and mobile network settibg. I get data and it shows up in the about network as connected and working. It shows cricket carrier in notificstion and i can get texts and even voice mail. But ........
I cannot use the dialer. Upon connection there is no error toast or anything it just imnedistely hangs up.
I can use my wifes my sons or my friends sims in the phone and after a reboot works perfectly. But when i put mine in it stops.
Also my sim works fine in any other unlocked device or cricket device.
Any clue as to wth is going on
Ok so after talking to lg and really that was frustrating. Why because the rep told me it the phone was carrier locked to us cellular which i knew it wasnt because its advertised as being unlocked and well us cellular put up an advert a few years ago stating that all thier phones are unlocked.
So after that i went ahead and talked to a rep at us cellular who assured me it was unlocked and checked the imei for me and sent me link to the advert about thier phones being unlocked.
Back to lg and got another rep this time who knew a lil about something but not much. Could not tell me any thing though.
Now back to cricket where we tested my girlfriends sim in my phone to which it worked and mine in her phone to which it worked. We put the sims in my aristo 2 and fortune 2 and both sims worked. But when i put my sim back in my my k8+(2018) once again every thing works fine but you cannot make or recieve phone calls.
We also tested the voice mail app and and thier what qualifies as a carrier app and it registers. The sim registers in about phone shows service and is connected. Shows the phone number every thing works.
Just not the phone Dialer app
So is there any one out there at all that has had an issue like this before. Any one that can help me figure out what the problem is. This is so crazy that my sim wont work and every one elses will.
Could it be something i did using dialer codes? Any cLues at akl
So here we are months later and im still having sim issues with my k8+ ulm. I ended up buying a brand new device and i tried my provisioned sim card with it not working but literally every other sim card works fine.
I have switched from cricket to assist wireless now who is run or what ever by sprint and i can get the sim card to work for a couple days before switching it to another phone but the main issue is that i get a error popup stating that the sim card has locked and that i need to power cycle and call customer service.
But i made a ton of changes by adding all the system apps from sprint including sprinthiddenmenu and any other apk that was on the tribute dynasty they came from. I also went through the file system and made any prop changes or any thing else that was needed to enable sprint.
At this point id flash a sprint modem but i cant find a cv1 device provisioned under sprint
