Meaning you want to unlock your sim card right?
I don't know why you would buy to phones >.<
but maybe you should just try
taking out the sim card and putting in the revolution. I mean its the same carrier. I don't see why It wont work. Unless the sim cards is registered to your phone then maybe it won't work. But who knows
Okay thanks

I got an ATT Note from my dad who got it from a guy off Craigslist that was using it with tmobile. I'm now trying to make it work for my girlfriends tmobile line. I flash the modems and insert her sim card but it keeps saying "insert SIM card to access network services". I assume it SIM unlocked. How can I check and make sure it is?
The SIM card is on correctly.
If its sim unlocked you dont need the tmobile radios for it to work with a tmobile line you only need to flash the radio for 3g and 4g to work. I would put in a at&t sim and see that it reads that first. If its not unlocked when you put another carriers sim in it will ask you to enter the network code. Turn the phone off and take the battery out before changing sims and make sure the connectors are not damaged that read the sim.

I would also try going into settings/mobile networks/access point names and let it search for the network. This can take a while sometimes.

I don't think its damaged. It was working 3 hours ago on my dads ATT line. My GF even went to Tmobile to get a new sim and now dice. I'll have to look into it.
Check the settings under the network options and give it some time. It took mine almost 3 minutes to pick up the network where I live.

Thanks for the help. I installed the stock rom with the ICS radio and it worked. I was very surprised. The GF is happy.
Nice to hear. Gotta keep the women happy!

So today I was on the phone with my friend and all the sudden I couldn't hear him. I took the phone away from my ear and I see puk code locked please contact customer support. First off what does this mean and why is it saying this. I have not rooted my phone or made any modifications at all to my phone. And I have never removed my sim card. I have only had my phone for less the a month. Also sometimes my phone says I do t have a sim card inserted when I know I do. This has happened to me once before.
Any help would be appreciated thanks.

its a known issue with the dna.
try reseating the sim card and rebooting the phone. If the issue persists or comes back ofter go to a verizon store and get a new sim card
I woke up this morning and my sim card was acting up I put it back in because I was lucky enough to have the tool with me and it's better now. I honestly thing it's my sim card because my brother also has this phone and he hasn't had any issues with his sim card at all

Is there a way to make the network unlock message show up without putting in a different SIM card? I've had my unlock code for a while I just want to use it.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Not that I know of but then again I could be wrong did they not give you instructions with unlock code
Sent from inside the T.A.R.D.I.S
They did it's the usual insert different SIM card then put the code but I was wondering if I can input the code without a foreign SIM card

No, there is no phone code for the unlock menu. Just pick up a prepaid sim card from walmart and unlock it, if your in the States. I ordered a simcard cutter with and cut an old ATT card I had in an old phone to unlock mine. Or if you have a friend or relative with a newer phone, pop their sim in for a couple secs and unlock it.
Hello, I just bought samsung galaxy s3 and tryed to put in sim card, but it doesn't recognize it. I tryed to do factory reset lot of times but it doesn't helped it still writting no sim card. I tryed to put in my friends card who is in other network, so I think its not a sim slot problem. First think - it locked. Today I went to the salon of my operator and they sayed that my phone is not locked or black listed, so maybe somebody knows the solution for it ?
Really sorry for my english

Proble might be hardware: sim slot or sim card. Does your sim work on other phones? Do other sims work on your phone?
If its software, a fresh firmware flash with wipes should fix it.
I tryed to put sim to my brothers galaxy s2 and it worked, and we tryed to put other network sim to my phone and its too worked, but sim with the same carier like my didn't worked, if its a software can u give me link where I can find tutorial how to fix it ?

I've known some weird bug to happen (1 in a million or more) where a specific sim won't work on a specific phone, a friend working for movistar had that happen. Don't know why, just that sim won't work in that phone. They had to make a duplicate of the sim with a different format.
Check with your carrier to see if a different sim might work. And make sure its not a problem with the phone being locked.
Can you tell us. Is the phone 2nd hand or brand new?
I was thinking that if it is 2nd hand, maybe the previous owner flashed Custom Roms and may have damaged the 'EFS partition' when they flashed Stock firmware back onto the device before selling to you.
No, if EFS is damaged then device wouldn't log into any network.
Try to repair your device with Kies if you don't know how to use Odin:

If it doesn't help visit your carriers store and get your SIM changed.
I tryed to put in maybe 4 cards with the same carrier and it didn't worked, yes phone is for 2nd hands :/

Now, when you say it doesn't recognize the sim cards, do you get a "sim not inserted" message?
Or does it recognize the sim but won't allow making calls or connecting to mobile data?
You say with different carrier (your friends sim card) it works. But with your sim card and others from the same carrier it doesn't work. That sounds just like a network locked phone.

When I turning it on it loading about minute and in that place where is network bars is pic like phone blocked I think, but after loading it shows me a perfect connection, but in my task bar writting "No SIM" and under it with lower letter "Insert SIM card". On the lock screen is too writting "No SIM card - Emergency calls only"
I know that it's sounds like network locked, but I was gone to the salon operator and they sayed me that phone is not locked, but I did not understand, or only to their network, or general. Where can check it ?

This totally looks like a sim locked phone.
What you already know is that the phone works with your brother's sim card, so the phone works with your brother's carrier. You know it doesn't work with your sim card or any other sim card of your carrier.
But you are still not sure if it is a simlock.
Just check with a sim card from another different carrier (one that is not your carrier, nor your brother's carrier). If the phone is simlocked it shouldn't work with that 3rd carrier.
