I called at&t to get unlock code and they said there isn't one for that phone. Is that true? I need the unlock code so I can use the phone as mp3 player. My current service provider is sprint. I don't know anyone with GSM provider. I can't use the phone unless sim card is inserted. So what should I do?

Can't you buy a cheap SIM card from AT&T?
I'm trying not to spend more money ...

it has to be a tmobile sim card and you should get the update because tmobile said its being updated randomly by your IMEI number
So u can...even if dont have data plan right...

where did you bought it? in the tmobile?
I live and work in Germany, and the phone has worked perfectly here as well as every other country I've driven/flown into so far. The GSM technology that's used here is the same technology that's used in the states. Just waiting for 4G!
Stock vibrant on ji5 here and it didn't work well in japan when I was there. Didn't pick up any of the carriers and gps didn't work at all. Gps works here though

You might need to enter the correct service center number. Call your operator.
Had a similar problem, couldn't receive sms, but could send. Was advised to get a newer sim card (mine was 5 years old) and to do a master reset on the phone. Worked for me. Reseting sucks.

i did call my operator. at first, they gave me a sms center no. but i couldn't find the setting to enter the no. then i called again and was advised to call se service centre for help. my phone is an unlocked Germany version while i live in China. so i wasn't given a spefic answer. they just said the sim card was recognised by the phone automatically so normally changing sim card won't cause any problem.

master reset is factory reset?

No SIM, Wifi calling, possible? I pulled the sim card out of my unlocked, rooted vibrant...fired up the stock WiFi calling. It responded with invalid SIM...what does T-Mobile have to do with my wireless network? Do we have to unlock the app too?

You have to have your sim card in for it work. Did you try it with the sim card in??
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Well it said something about using minutes...so I thought what be the point...when I could just use the phone anyways...could someone give me an example where I'd be where I'd have WiFi and no cell coverage?

If you're in a basement or solid building where signal can't penetrate, use wifi to make calls instead. Still uses your minutes, you just get a consistently strong signal instead of dropping the call

Gotchya...thanks

Wifi calling uses the account information on your SIM card to call people. If you have no SIM card, then you have no account with T-Mobile, making their app useless.
OK I'm running the new 5.0.1 y5 rom on sprint Max . Carrier says I'm DSU but I tried a deactivated metro PC sim and get error LTE uicc sim incorrect .
Looking to try another sim . But in the mean time is there any way of checking the sim status . Via app or fastboot... Also my epst dialer is not working in this rom so I can't really get in to programming at the moment . But will like to verify . Thanks in advance .
