[Q] International sim-card on I717? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hi everyone, excuse my English.
I have at&t note I717 and I went back to my country for vacation, I tried to make the sim card work but I couldn't!
Is there anyway to make it work?

You have to sim unlock the phone first. You could try to call ATT but being out of the country might make it difficult. Or you could follow the instructions in this thread:

I have replied in the PO you gave me, but in case I'll post it here too.
--------
I turned the phone off then insert the sim card, after that booted to recovery and flashed the modem and then I turned the phone on and clicked DISMISS and went to the dailer and insert this code *#197328640#, but The screen didn't change to the hidden menu as it said in the PO!!
What did I make wrong?!

You can call them from another country. I called from a land line in Germany to get my Captivate's code.

What do they need? Because the box is in my apt in USA and I just have the phone; my friends lives in my apt btw.
Also, I bought the phone from ebay not from a store; Is it going to be any problem?!

I bought the phone IN Germany from a guy in my group. No problems getting the code, nor when I called back because the local mifi sim I tried didn't work.

Ok, gonna try and call them, but what should I do with the modem I installed?Because currently I'm facing some lag and I think it's because the modem!!

Install the original modem back if you are not going to sim unlock your phone this way.

You should not go off flashing and installing things if you really don't know what you are doing. You have an ATT Note so flash an ATT Radio. There is the UCLF6 that was included with the released ATT ICS 4.0.4 and the newer UCMB4 that was just released in an update. Both are available on the forum with a simple search.

vibrant to verizon

I'm looking around and I'm curious if I can get a vibrant from tmobile to work on my verizon account somehow. Sorry for the lack of searching but I'm out and about at the moment.
No. Not ever. Sorry. Also post questions in Q&A.
I'm petty sure its impossible. The vibrant is a GSM phone and verizon runs on CDMA.

no. Verizon uses CDMA technology and Vibrant runs on GSM, also ur gonna get flamed cuz its in the wrong section.
No.. that's like trying to say can i install a intel processor on AM3 (AMD) socket. It's two different things and would never ever work.

The actual answer is yes, but not in the US of A - in Europe Vodafone is Verizon partner and it offers GSM service.

And have the widget redirected to Bing. I know you can root it and change it and all that but I still think its unfair to the users who aren't rooting. It's just absurd that they restrict things like this.
Also not a huge fan of Verizon's exclusive apps like Skype, NFL, etc. I know you could extract it in APK format and do it like that but it's not healthy to make exclusive apps.

Iam thinking that you can do it, but first you need to unlock your phone.. First you need an activated Tmobile sim card placed into vibrant to go to next steps... Second look into market searching for "samsung unlock" and install and run it..it will give you the unlock code that the phone will ask you when you replace your verizon sim card, so write down all the info... third turn off vibrand and replace tmobile sim with verizon one and boot the phone... Enter the unlock code that you get from step 2 and enjoy your new unlocked phone!!..
I dont try it yet because I dont have the need, but I think that it will help you ...

This post is incorrect. Verizon does not use sim cards. The method posted here will unlock your phone for other GSM service, but since Verizon is not GSM this will not work.
Also, I really am curious since it happens so often, how do people keep posting in development and claiming they are confused about where to post?
I'm not making fun of anyone, this is a serious question. There are two forums: one is labeled Q&A and one is labeled development. How is it possible so many people make this mistake?

Wow. Some of you people clearly should not be flashing anything to your phones.
I have seen some of the worlds stupidest people on a forum with some of the worlds smartest. If you don't know what qna means then put you fing diaper back and go back to first grade. I'm sick of all this non dev chat in the dev section. If you don't know what cdma and what GSM is then Google it. Don't give the I'm to lazy to search excuse cause that's a bunch of bull.
GSM: most of the world, att T-Mobile.
Cdma: Verizon and sprint.
If a phone is cdma it will not work on GSM. And vise versa.
Now stfu noobs and gtfo.

It's so simple. There are two completely different technologies in question here. Cdma which Verizon uses and gsm which t-mobile and at&t use(which is why I-phone works on t-mobile). And to set the record straight about sim cards,I have seen several black berrys with sim cards on Verizon.

Those ones for Verizon that have SIM cards are the world editions of the phones and can go outside of the USA and use a local carrier that uses SIM cards (e.g. Vodaphone). CDMA and GSM are not compatible technologies. You cannot use one type of phone on the other network.
Lol, let the flaming and ranting begin!!!!!

[Q] Question

So i bought a samsung galaxy note off a guy on craigslist about 3-4 weeks ago and today i noticed i didnt recieve any calls or texts from anyone, so i checked my phone and could get a signal at all, so i reset the phone to factory using kies and now it says, Phone Not Allowed MM#6 and i cant connect to any network
someone please help and tell me what i can possibly do to solve this issue
I did a little research and it could be a few things... Either you've gave the carrier the wrong IME number or the phone was reported lost or stolen by the original customer... I would call the carrier the phone is for and ask them. Also if the original owner hasn't paid his phone bill the carrier can lock the ime from being used... I've heard a lot of people buying phones on Craigslist like that...

so it's an AT&T note and you're using it on Tmobile right? have you tried an AT&T sim? If you don't have one available to you, I think you can go into an AT&T store and ask them if they can do a quick check for you. Be sweet, apologetic for using their time, maybe send your gf in to flirt with them a little they'll more than likely give you a hand.

Unlock is permanent. Getting t- mobile to work on the at&t version is hit-or-miss.

I can only assume that if the phone has "AT&T" branded on the front, that at&t would work the best no?
You get the apn settings for straight talk?
If a device is unlocked..the AT&T on the front is now simply just there.

Yes your right. Once unlocked the brand doesn't mean anything. But it doesn't mean it will work on Verizon. Yes it will work on tmobile after some research and reconfiguring. But it doesn't mean it will work "better".

Its not my phone it belongs to a friend of mine he asked me if I could fix it for him. Yes I got the APN settings from straightalk I got a 45$ card and put on the phone. Still no data. Think I will get a T-Mobile sim and a at&t sim and give them a shot.

You need to know if you got an att or TMobile Sim from straight talk, since it's not working you probably got a TMobile one, that will require Sim unlocking and the addition of a TMobile compatible modem plus the proper TMobile straight talk apn info.

Yes I know, the APN settings have to match the carrier settings before it will work. I sold the i717 to a friend and that friend found someone else that is wanting to buy the phone (because the guy I sold it to can't get the phone to work properly) so hes not wanting it anymore. So the new buyer asked me if i could fix it back it was running ics but after i rooted it it took it down to GB 2.3.6 I THINK. I dont know maybe what im trying to say isnt making any sense sorry. The i717 was the first phone that i ever unlocked,the unlocking part was easy it was the flashing part that got me. I dont have the phone in my hands yet, im just trying to throw out what i remember. I will wait untill i have the i717 before i go any futher.

Dodgy Phone

Right details. Phone doesn't make calls it just ends straight away and it doesn't receive texts. Data works on Orange SIM card I believe the phone was used on orange. IMEI matches that under battery. I don't think it's blocked as data works? It says Orange TMobile in notification area.
I tried other sims Three and GiffGaff and it doesn't prompt for unlock code however only says emergency calls only. Any ideas people?
It's either partially unlocked or you need to flash another modem.

[Q] using verizon s4 internationally with data

i am going to be purchasing the s4 to upgrade fro my old nexus and will be travelling to greece for 2 weeks. I have read that i will need to call verizon to unlock my phone to make calls with a local sim card from that country. But i have also read that i will need to unlock the bootloader to receive data by changing the apn settings. Please confirm if that is correct. If so can i just unlock the bootloader without having a custom rom. I dont want to install any custom roms just unlock the bootloader and run stock rom. Is this possible and can someone direct to a link for instructions. Much appreciated.
You will not need to call Verizon because your phone is sim unlocked straight out of the box. Likewise, you will not need to unlock the bootloader-aside from the developer edition there has never been any such thing as an unlocked bootloader for the Verizon Galaxy S4.

You neither need to unlock the bootloader, nor simunlock the phone. Just insert the simcard and add apn in network setting. No need to call verizon.

I just wanted to bring some closure to my original question since no one really comments once they get the answer to their forum question. Immediately out of the box, this phone is indeed unlocked and once you place a foreign sim card into the phone,It works immediately. Once the correct apn numbers are added, you also get data and internet. This phone is really great.
Heading to Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. So I just pop a Sim and ad APN? Does clicking APN give options to choose or do I have to manually set APN? Thanks in advance

You must enter the APN details manually - the phone isn't pre-configured with other carrier's APN information.
Once you've entered it, you can select the active APN from the list of entries that you've added.
If you have a Verizon SIM installed, APN editing is disabled. You'll need that non-VZ SIM if you're going to experiment.
this practice also works for trying to use a verizon GS4 on local GSM networks. Just doesnt apply to overseas so if you want to use this phone on tmobile you can do that.
Puerto Rico?
Sorry if this is not the right place for this, but does anyone know if I can use my phone in Puerto Rico?
I'm in Singapore now. It works great but their prepaid plans only support 3g; so it's petty show. The reps seem to know exactly how to program the phone and the APN info needed. $7 for 1gb and 7 days usage and the card costs $10 with a $10 credit.
