Ok first you have give it time between posts...asking for assistance or info...you have give it time to get your issue's addressed...XDA is a world wide community...
have you taken it to your carrier to see if they can put in on the network,
you prob have to get you imei set with the carrier what carrier are you using, say verizon on your profile is this what you are using?
I had to do this with my carrier on a different phone, call them or go by the carrier store...
you said when you unlock it, it wont connect to att...is an att note...why you unlock it for an att sim? or am i not reading it right?
Thanks for the reply... I have spent so much time looking for a solution online and nothing... well I unlocked it for t-mobile first and got network unlock successful. Then that stupid circle stayed and never gave me signal. Now I dont care what carrier its on I just want it working but not even its original carrier will work (ATT). I called cellunlocker.net and they said to call att. i called att and they blew me off as well. I called att and they said its not unlockable?? what the heck does that mean?? its a gsm phone!! So now im stuck with no signal ever since i entered the unlock code.
Same
I was having same issues my apn came up with cingular. Ive never had them so im playing with those settings now...we will see if this helps

Cingular APN is OK. But you need to call at&t store and ask them to reprovision your sim so you can use LTE/4g network (if it's available).
When they change that (it doesn't change your rate plan) your APN will change to PTA.

When you unlock its a permanent change in your phone that let's you use any GSM carrier sim card.
You have to flash a modem compatible with the network. That is your base and number. For at&t the current modem is ULCF5, and its good for all North America, except T-Mobile, Wind(Canada).

I don't know if this question has been asked before, but is it possible to unlock the Thunderbolt to work on the AT&T network? I recently got a Thunderbolt from my friend who is on the verizon network, but I'm on the AT&T network, I would like to use this phone on AT&T, I love this phone too much.
No you can't because Verizon uses CDMA, AT&T uses GSM.

and just to clarify...the sims are completely different sizes/shapes to one another
Sell it and get yourself an Inspire, the closest you will get to a Thunderbolt on AT&T right now

Actually the sim's are the same size, I put the AT&T sim into it and its the same size.
I just wasn't sure if it was possible, there are a lot of Unlocking sites that claim to be able to unlock it using the IMEI number. So Im guessing its fake and that there is no way to unlock it.

I guess if there is no other way, might as well just try to sell it and get the inspire.

It can be unlocked to use on another CDMA x LTE provider, such as Metro PCS.
I was thinking they made the switch over to the micro ones... sorry i stand corrected on size
yeah, you can stick the sim in there all you want but it isn't going to convert an LTE or CDMA radio into a GSM radio with AT&T bands.

I swear if I see someone mention any sim unlocking services that member will be getting an instant ban.
To OP, use an internet search engine to unlock the sim for your device or call your carrier.
At this time there are no "hacks" to do it.
Device? or SIM?

Actually, his question is how to unlock 'sim card', not the phone...
To OP, if that's what you are asking, your carrier should be eager to give you a new sim card for them to activate a new account for you.
Or you can buy a device that can program sim cards. But I don't really think you can change the carrier ID with such device. Also, remember that not all the sim cards are the same. You can't sometimes program old sim card to works on newer phones. For instance, the Amaze requires the newest one to activate wifi calling, etc.
Or, maybe you just wanted to unlock the device simlock.. Hehehe.

Actually his posts says
"how can i unlock my simcard for work with another network?! "
So I'm guessing that he wants to unlock his device to use a different network's simcard. I could be wrong though. Even if you unlocked the sim card, you couldn't use that sim for someone elses network. For example I couldn't use a t-mobile simcard to use on AT&T Wireless. Even if I could... what would be the point? To save $10?

Hi,
Just got my AT&T i-717 Note for a week. Recently flashing the I717 UCLE2 leak and thinking about get the SIM unlock code with one of the online unlock service for my Note. However, after I searched and read. I went ahead and check my note to see if it is unlock by using the *#7465625#. It pops up with the dialog as follows:
Personalizatiob Status
Network Lock
[OFF]
Network Subset Lock
[OFF]
SP Lock
[OFF]
CP Lock
[OFF]
Does this mean my Phone is SIM unlock?
Thanks
Anyone?? Can someone help answer the question ? Please?
Yes. it is unlocked. I got the same when i type in the code.
Is this phone locked?

This is what I got. It's kinda surprised me that the SIM is unlock. I just got my brand new Galaxy Note for a week from AT&T and I thought they are SIM lock by default. That's why I hope someone could tell me if this is true, so I don't have to spend money to unlock.

I got a warranty replacement from at&t last week and I've never unlocked it and it says the same thing. I will try a T-Mobile sim card in it later today and will let you know. It's running CM9 Update 3.
EDIT: Nevermind, I couldn't test it... everyone has a T-Mobile Micro Sim because of the iPhone 4 :/ Sorry.

The micro sim works just fine, just align it the same way, and it will work, I have my own lte cut out sim that I switch between my note and 4S.
I returned a white one after unlocking it because it had back light bleeding on the soft keys. Someone out there is sure to get it as a refurb.
I bought my note from amazon out right and it says it is unlocked as well when I type in the code from the op. I have a hard time believing this. More then likely this is a glitch from installing the leaked ICS. When I get home I will try my rogers sim

I have the leak ICS but crashes either ...
Nope, it isn't unlocked. I tried my T-Mobile SIM and it just says "Invalid SIM" and wants me to insert a unlock code. It does show signal bars though but when you try making a call it says network not registered.
Just used cellunlocker.net last night on mine. Took about an hour or so to get the email. I'm on tmo so I was completely without a phone for the whole hour. Longest hour ever. At any rate, the process was smooth and easy. $25, easy breezy.

Hi everyone,
I have a prepaid plan on my T-Mobile One PN07130, updated to 4.4.2 last night as well. It will not connect to LTE, only up to UMTS/H+. My wife's S4 right next to it is connected to LTE with no problem.
The network mode is set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto, my APN is identical to my wife's S4.
Any idea what it might be?
Thanks!
Take out SIM card and put it back in and restart the phone. If that doesn't work you can do a factory data reset.

The only thing i can think of is APN settings.
Double check them and make sure its exact.
I once made a mistake of putting fast-t_mobile.com and another time put fast.t_moble.com
Thanks guys for the input but I've tried these as well as verified settings.
What I did find different is that her S4 has the network modes listed as LTE/WCDMA/GSM while my One is listing GSM/WCDMA/LTE. Does it mean LTE is used last?
I think I'll just stop by a T-Mo store and see if they can figure it out.
If I have any findings I'll report back.
Mine is listed the same way.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
The order they are listed doesnt have anyhting to do with priority.
LTE will always be given higher priority, then WCDMA then GSM.
Your wifes phone is a Samsung phone so they list them differently.. but the priorities are the same.
I see. Mine was activated fresh while my wife's S4 was activated by porting her number from Verizon. I wonder if she has some kind of provisions on her account that I don't have, therefore she gets LTE while I don't...
I'm hoping to get to a T-Mo store today and get this sorted out.
have you tried calling T-Mobile?
Ha, so I went to a local T-Mo store, the guy looked at the phone, rebooted, checked APN and all other mobile settings. He said all looks good, but no LTE.
He said, lemme go to the back and get a new SIM card. He scanned it into the system, put it in, and BAM! LTE right away!
The SIM I had in there, I purchased directly from T-Mobile, so was my wife's SIM. He said the SIM apparently wasn't capable of LTE... Never heard of such thing.
Anyway, I'm a happy camper now
Thanks all for the suggestions!
Glad its working. Probably a glitch in the system during initial set up. Now that the rep replaced your SIM the system reset its self and all is good..

Hi all,
I have an S9+ unlocked and I am trying to get WiFi calling to work. I've tried a few different roms but no dice. I called ATT and they did what they could on their end but they couldn't get it working and escalated the ticket. I told them I was using an ATT branded phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If its factory unlocked you are out of luck.

As Thor said, if you bought it from anywhere other than ATT, your out of luck. They only allow phones purchased through them to use Volte and Wifi Calling.
The one workaround is to activate the features on your line by using a different phone, and then swapping the sim to your S9/S9+. It's a trick that has worked for some but no telling if it still works.
Thanks fellas!
I still have my old ATT S7 Edge that WiFi calling worked on, so today or tomorrow I'm going to flash the S9+ to this, then put the sim card in the S7 Edge, use WiFi calling, then put it in the S9+ and see if that works. I appreciate the tips!

It wont work beyond a week. Att queries the phone ever so often and when it does it will stop working. This is what I've read and been told. It used to work when it first came out for longer for some reason and now is down to a day to a week.
