I am here in Singapore with my Verizon Galaxy S4 and it is indeed unlocked, however, there's a small issue.
I picked up a pre-paid SIM card from Singtel. Inserted into the phone, was able to add the APN information. Get to the last step that says dial *363 to activate the SIM card and that's where the wheels fell off the wagon. Every time I dialed *363 (per the instructions on the SIM card) the phone kept coming back with an Invalid MMI code..
Eventually, the only way to activate the SIM card was to have the SingTel put the SIM in his phone and do the *363 to go through the process.
Anyone else experience something similar with a pre-paid SIM over seas?
I did not have this problem. I am using a prepaid SIM in europe (T-mobile de). I had to set the phone to GSM (or global), enter the APN info, and then dial the activation number. It all went well, without problems.

I wonder if it is the MMI code that SingTel uses. Anyway, definitely doesn't work for Singapore.

Hi, I'm new to the forums and new to unlocking phones. But I wanted to unlock my vibrant, I have my unlock and unfreeze codes but when I put a different sim card in it just tells me to call customer care and gives me no option to put in an unlock code. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Different sim card have to be from different service provider like at&t.
This is first time I hear that unlocking option won't appear after installing different sim card !
I tried using a net 10 trac fone sim card, since I read from other people on here they said it would work. but when i put it in and start the phone i can use my phone but when I go to the call screen it says "sim card crash - Please contact customer service". So Im gonna try an at&t card(with data plan) from my friend hopefully it works. Also I have another question like I said Im new to this stuff. If I still use my tmobile sim card can I still connect to at&t's internet/data?
I would think that to access AT&T's network services, you would need to have the AT&T sim installed in the phone.
You have to put different sim card other than T-Mobile to get unlock code screen !

Dude WOLF, not to be rude but if you read I put a NET 10 TRAC Fone sim in, not a t-mobile.

Nope...you'd need to put in an AT&T SIM that's tied to an AT&T account with a data plan.
Hey everyone. Recently I did the free sim unlock that crixley posted. Now I checked the phone to see if it was unlocked by entering the special code on the dial pad. I followed the instructions carefully but nevertheless - my i717 kept saying "No SIM Card" whenever I put in the tmobile sim but it read my att sim when I put it in. Now i tried different modems/radios but still the same thing. Im not sure if its a problem with the sim because it is old. It came with my HTC Sensation 4g from tmobile and that was about early 2012. The sim has just been in a box with stuff all over it to so I dont know if its ruined. What do you guys think? Ill post a pic of both sims. Ill post a pic of unlock message to. Thanks!
Top Is Tmobile sim
bot is att sim
You unlocked the phone -- why? You don't have an account with a non-at&t carrier?
Just borrow a non-at&t sim card from anyone.

Hi Guys.
I just bought a unlocked HTC Vivid X710a on ebay. I received it and took off the sim card from my Metro PCS phone and placed it in the HTC.
However I am getting this error message when I try to connect to the Metro PCS network (311660)
"your sim card does not allow connection to this network"
What should I do?
Thanks
same
same issue here
Maybe the phone is blocked from that network by IMEI.
To follow up, I placed a T-Mobile Sim Card on it and it worked perfectly.
what do you guys think? Could it be a sim card problem? but if so, why does it work on my metro pcs phone?

Problem solved.
Metro PCS Sim cards are locked to only one phone. Went to the store and the assigned the new phone for a 16$ charge.
I recently upgraded and decided to give my DNA to my gf(she's on T-Mobile). When she insets her sim card, it displays that 'non verizon sim detected' msg and it doesn't pick up the network.
When I gave it to her, I did a fresh install of NuSenseSIX-KitKat-Dlx_RC6.4_052414 and made sure it's set to 'global mode'. I also tried GSM/UTMS, GSM..
Am I supposed to call Verizon and ask them to unlock the phone(don't think so..)? Or is there something else that needs to be done?
You need to set your APN, if not using Verizon.
I have a S6 edge from US Cellular and I cannot get it to the "enter unlock code" screen even after I tried all of your unlock numbers. It just says "No SIM or SIM error"
The SIM we are trying to use is one that works in our other S6 Edge and I can get to that screen using your numbers but not on the new one.

Three questions:
Did you make sure the phone wasn't stolen?
Does the SIM need to be adjusted?
Is the phone compatible with US Cellulars network?
These are three potential causes of the SIM not being detected.

No, the phone is not stolen> checked the number with US Cellular. They are the ones who told me the phone is unlocked
How do you adjust the SIM?
The phone is a US Cellular phone and I am trying to use a T Mobile SIM (Yes, the TM Sim works)
Thank you for your reply!

When my dad had a similar problem with his iPhone I fixed it by pulling the sim card out and putting it back in. It was partially popped out of place. I am doubting that a T-Mobile sim works in a US Cellular phone because US Cellular is a CD MA carrier
The edge goes both ways.
