Do you mean that when you turn the phone on you get the 'enter pin' message before you can use the phone. After you enter your pin do you find that you have no network service so you can't make phone calls or send texts? If so you also probably have an icon in the top right of the statusbar that looks like a sim card with an exclamation mark (!) in it. I too have this problem. My only solution is to remove the sim protection so now I don't get the 'enter pin' message when I turn the phone on. Obviously this is not good if I lose my phone.
Thank You, but today I gave the phone to warranty.. :-/ If they don't solve the problem, I will try Your method. Thank You so much! If I get back my phone, I will write in this topic everything about it.
[SOLVED] SIM card lock - no service (SIM icon with exclamation mark)
I have found the cause of my "No service" problem. It shows a SIM icon with an exclamation mark in it on the status bar.
I used to have a PIN code set under Settings-->Location & security-->Set up SIM card lock-->Lock SIM card. However, when I got this "No service" problem I had to remove the SIM card lock to actually be able to use my phone to make phone calls.
The problem was that I also had set Settings-->CyanogenMod settings-->Tablet tweaks-->Disable lockscreen-->TICKED. I had set this because I wanted my phone's screen to turn back on quickly by simply pressing the back button instead of using the lockscreen slider.
It seems that disabling the lockscreen prevents the "Enter PIN code" screen from being displayed and so I could not enter my PIN.
As well as having to do Settings-->CyanogenMod settings-->Tablet tweaks-->Disable lockscreen-->UNTICKED it is also necessary to turn the screen off then back on (e.g. press the power button to turn off then the back button to turn on). When the screen turns on the "Enter PIN code" screen will appear.
I think should be classed as a bug but I am not sure on what?

I just got this as my first smartphone, so excuse the newbie! I just bought this phone from The Phone Cellar on eBay. I am on Page Plus' Talk n Text 1200 Plan. I cannot seem to send MMS messages on my phone and wonder if this is an issue with my plan or with my phone.
When I try to send a text message, the phone automatically tries to send it as MMS. I get the error "No data connection. Please check your MMS APN configuration in mobile network settings." But on the phone settings page, the only thing that shows up under Mobile Networks is a System Select option -- either "Home Only", or "Automatic." (I've tried both, and I still can't send MMS).
After I try to send a text, it fails, shows the error message, and the phone then reverts to some non-MMS format (the "MMS" indicator goes off - maybe that's SMS?). I can then send a text. So every time I want to send a text, I first just send a one-letter text that fails and then send the text I want to send! Picture messages never work.
I called Page Plus and they reset all the data features on my account and re-provisioned my device into the network, but that didn't work.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
I got voice, lte, and sms working on my i545 using a new T-Mobile account. I don't have mms or voicemail working. I can live without mms for now but voicemail is important. I tried holding the number 1 key down and that didn't work. In the notification bar I get a message, "New Voicemail Dial *86." That gives me "number not in service..." message. I found the 805-637-7243 number but its not recognizing key presses. I tried T-Mobile's app and it didn't work. I tried YouMail and it didn't work either. Whoda thunk setting up voicemail would be tough? Usually the tough part is getting your voice to sound good.
Can anyone offer any insight?

I understand, its a Verizon phone.
As it turns out the problem is more serious. The phone dialer's dialpad isn't sending the numbers to any phone. For example, when a menu system says press 1 to continue, pressing 1 doesn't do anything.

I solved the keypad problem by replacing the dialer. That allowed me to setup T-Mobile's Visual Voicemail.
I think I solved the mms problem by changing the Mobile virtual network operator type from None to SPN. Then changed the Mobile virtual network value from Verizon to T-Mobile. Then changed the type back to None. Maybe a fluke.
So everything appears to be working but only after I receive a phone call. After a reboot, on the bottom of the lock screen, it says,"No service emergency call." When you pull down the notification bar, it says, "No service" at the bottom of the screen. Outgoing calls work fine. Incoming sms works fine. The 4G LTE icon is active and I get internet service. But mms and sms do not send. When it gets an incoming phone call, the pulled down notification bar changes from No service to T-Mobile and everything works as it should. Calling myself doesn't do the trick, it has to be a different phone. Can anyone diagnose my issue by these symptoms?
The phone is an I545, baseband NC5, towelrooted, T-Mobile sim and service.
I have a gear s tmobile. Up until this past week I've been able to use the gear to initiate texts and all of the sudden this function has stopped. When I go into messages, compose and try to send a message I get this phone icon with a half circle in front of it as opposed to the arrow like it's loading or sending but it doesnt move or change and the texts don't send. When i turn off bluetooth and try to use mobile network or wifi i get the red square icon with the exclamation point. I cannot use s voice to initiate texts either though other s voice functions - ie call bill - works fine.
I can reply to texts as they come in all day. I suddenly just cannot start them on my gear. I have tweaked every option i could think of, rebooted, reset the watch, tried to switch from primary textra to primary Samsung messages, removed the sim card and so far nothing. Something wrong with my sim card or what?
***update*** it was the sim card. Not sure why texting worked at first then didn't but I had to log in and input the # on the sim card and reboot.
i dont have a sim. im using bluetoth with the same problems any help?
I know for me, I can't have airplane mode on and send messages. I can still receive them with it on though.
*with bt connected

Thank you for the update. I am having the same issue except it affects calling only - I can not make any phone calls, and I can not receive any phone calls - I can text and use my data though like normal, but I can not make any phone calls nor can I receive any phone calls. You mentioned that you had to "log in" and "input the # on sim", and "reboot" -- would you please elaborate where you have to go to "log in" like on the: T-Mobile Website? Samsung Website? where do you "log in"?

Hey yes on T-Mobile website. My T-Mobile.. I forget the exact links but you click into your device and go from there.. Pretty sure there's a number on the sim and you input that and reboot. I called T-Mobile and they were pretty helpful if you get stuck.

Ok, I went on to the T-Mobile website, then created an account for my T-Mobile Samsung Gear S phone number under "My T-Mobile". However, when I log in to "My T-Mobile" I do not see anywhere listed a place where I can input the number on my SIM card. I tried looking under the submenus of: Billing, Usage, Plan, Phone, and Shop, but was not able to find the place where I could input the number on my SIM card -- where do I find the place to input the number on my SIM card?

Hey I poked around and nothing jumped out at me either. I'm currently using gear s2 so my settings may have changed (it has built in sim.) Give tmob a call and they'll help u. Sorry I couldn't be of more help
Trying to get my sis's new N10 setup for her, she uses Page Plus (Verizon towers) and I cannot get sms or mms to work at all. WELL I can SEND a sms but cannot receive. I've done the whole pop sim out and back in to get the + button to show up for adding access points and fill everything in but the only thing that still remains unable to be changed is the ENABLE/DISABLE APN. I'm pretty sure this is the main issue. Any ideas how to fix this?
