I just bought an HTC legend off a friend. He was using it on Fido, so it is SIM unlocked. I put in my Bell SIM card and, while trying to register, I keep getting the message that the phone is unable to connect. Any ideas as to what is causing this?
Ask Bell to provide you with APN settings for their 3G network. You'll need it if you're going to access their network while previously on another.

Hello all.
I have unlocked Vibrant. I am traveling to Romania. I bought Orange Sim card, it works in my Vibrant, but I don't get any data service, does anybody knows how to make it work?
Thank you.
that's probably because you don't have the APN settings in your phone. either google their APN or just call Orange and ask them to give you the information that you need.
Yes, you are going to have to call them and ask them for the APN settings. Thats what I did and I am using the MySimpleMobile sim card.
I am using the t mobile HTC HD2, I have it unlocked and running it for my at&t network. I have also started using the android program through my sim card, so basically my phone is running on the android interface. It works great, however i cannot access the internet nor send/receive picture messages. I need to figure out the VPN setting or Proxy setting for the at&t provider. Since at&t does not have this phone they are unable to help on where or how to do it.
Anyone got this same situation and figured it out?!
Please help, thanks
hi there
my gf bought a htc legend when we were living in australia on vodafone network and all worked fine.we have just come back to the uk and have put a new sim in on 3 network.it will make calls text and conect to wifi but will not allow data traffic it just says connecting on the mobile data tab but never does.the sim card allows data has i have tried it in my phone.
any ideas of what i need to do,is it because its from australia,will it work over in the uk,should it,or do i need to do something to the phone to allow data,
any help would be good.
thanks
is the phone unlocked? can it run another sim other then the vodafone one?
or in youre new location youre still on vodafone network?
most likely the phone doesn`t know how to configure the apn for the data
google your network`s android apn and go to settings wireless networks mobice connection set apn create a new one or change the existing one while the phones mobile connection is turned on
Yep, I can confirm this problem may be fixed by identifying and filling in your APN for your network.
I had the same problem, as well, this fixed it.
Thanks allot for the help guys, done it and it works fine now.

I was able to get my photon to work flawlessly in rocky point this weekend..u need a Telcel or movistar sim card they cost like 10 dollars....make sure you have an app called APN global installed on your phone before you leave to mexico...install sim card go into wireless and networks and select gsm....dial *264 to activate the line... they will text you your phone number .....go into APN global then select your carrier the app wil walk you through installing the necessary apns and voila you have a cell phone im mexico......make sure you disable background data or you will eat up your airtime really fast ...dont ask how i know! !!!! Decided to inform the forum sitting here in line waiting to get anally probed so i can enter my own country ....any questions let me know i really like this phone alot ....

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
