The Verizon SCH-i545 is not SIM locked. I have had no problems whatsoever using European SIMs in mine.
There's a few possibilities - your SIM may be bad or unregistered. It's also possible that there's no band in the i545's hardware that matches the frequencies used in the country where you're trying this.

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.
anyways on a better note. I finally have it unlocked! I put in a friends boost mobile sim, Screen popped up and put the code in. sweet.

Nope...you'd need to put in an AT&T SIM that's tied to an AT&T account with a data plan.
I tried to get my phone unlocked today, however ever since then my phone hasn't been able to connect to any networks. I had to give my Imei number to get in unlocked, is there some way this could have been used to block my phone?

Yes in theory it could. Try the old sim and see if it works.
To block an imei requires access to the network systems, although you could phone them up and perhaps maliciously block an imei.
Did you use a reputable unlocker?
I used one off ebay however they had 15000 positive feedback.
I rang T-mobile and they say my phone is not blacklisted but its also not been unlocked. I dont know if this is true as when I put my unlock code in it said unlock ok and now when I put another network sim in it doesnt ask for the code. Ive since tried to use an orange sim card in it and this works but I dont know if this is anything to do with the fact that Orange and T-mobile have merged.
If it isnt unlocked then i dont know where to put a new unlock code in.

Lol you are fine.
Tmobile don't know it is unlocked. It worked fine if the sim doesn't ask for the code now.
If an orange sim works then phone is OK. What is original problem again?
Lol sorry I havent been very clear.
Ive bought a Tesco mobile sim and that is what I want to use however when I try this sim it wont connect to the network. Ive also tried a O2 sim with the same result however an Orange sim does work
I really have no idea what could be causing it and ringing Tesco/T-mobile has been no help at all lol.
Might be a stupid question but are you sure you can get Tesco Mobile signal? Both Tesco Mobile and o2 use the o2 network. So that's probably worth checking.

Ive tried it in my girlfriends iphone and it works perfectly so I cant imagine its the signal. I'm totally flummoxed, the only thing I can think of is if the phone isnt unlocked, but then why then does the orange sim card work?
OK I've come to the conclusion that it hasn't been unlocked and the reason the Orange sim card works is something to do with their networks being joined. If this is the case is there a way of re-entering the sim unlock code?
TMOBILE has blocked your sim, you may need to root

TMOBILE has blocked your sim, you may need to root. My experience is this: I have a rooted HTC that works fine, however when I put the sim in my S2 or a second T-Mobile phone I get the error message "cannot connect to network" even though I have 5 bars.
Hello XDA!
After reading here that all verizon S4''s are network free, I bought an almost new one to use in Europe(Romania).
But even after i checked global everywhere , the phone says"NO SIM-insert sim card", and refuse to work at all, no voice, data wtatsoever. Also, i cant change the APN (but since there isnt even voice or sms, it isn relevant at this point)
Is there any tutorial for a newbie that i could folow to get the phone working in 3G?
Thank you very much. P.S. I'm on 4.3 stock
I have the same problem. It says no SIM when I put my country's SIM card. When I put ATT sim, the phone shows that there a SIM inside the phone.
its odd, since it is supposed to be a global device. Maybe flashing a custom ROM should remove the restriction?

Sounds like you have a bad SIM, or perhaps something wrong with the way it's cut. My i545 works fine with European SIMs (other than the annoyance with the "Non-Verizon SIM" warning).
You can't change the APN since you don't have a SIM installed, and you can't use GSM without a SIM.

I tried three different sims, so this is not the problem...can you tell me exactly wich EU carrier sim you succesfully used?

eKit is CDMA? I tried a Giffgaff UK sim and it dont work-still no Sim error Frustrating

BTW, eKit is also gosim.com.
No, I'm not using CDMA - the service in the UK is all GSM. You install the SIM then set the phone to GSM mode to use it. I've used the eKit service for years, starting with my incredible 2 which is another CDMA/GSM hybrid phone.
When moving about, I get service from Vodaphone, O2, AT&T UK, and probably others. I really don't understand why your phone isn't recognizing the SIM.
Is the service in your country CDMA by any chance? You don't use a SIM to activate a CDMA phone, so perhaps what you have is some proprietary thing that's not a standard GSM SIM.
I fixed my problem by using a different SIM card. When I put it, it picked up the network automatically.
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.
How to use SM-T677V Galaxy View Verizon Branded with a T-mobile or AT&T Sim Card ?
I bought a Verizon branded SM-T677V model Galaxy view paid in full and claimed unlocked by Verizon. Used the prepaid sim card for 2 months and now tried to try an AT&T or T-mobile sim card but keep getting messages that it is not a Verizon Sim card and i get no service.
Any ideas why this would happen and how to fix it ? Does that happen with other Verizon branded LTE tablets as well ?
If you put in a sim card other than the Verizon one, a window should pop up asking for the unlock code for the device. To get the code you need your IMEI number from the tablet and then you pay a 3rd party to give you the code for your tablet. Usually takes a day...

How do you get the " Sim Unlock network code " to show up? I can't figure out how to make it show.

Configure the correct APN settings when using either T-MO or AT&T sim card. HTH
Does anyone manage to get the sim lock unlock network code " screen? Still on Verizon lock
I don't think this is going to work. The internal radio has to support the correct spectrums. Even though most carriers have "LTE", it is not the same spectrum/frequencies. I doubt the radio in a Verizon tablet supports the other spectrums.

yes i went thru a similiar situation w/Verizons GVT and there is a slight internal diff in radios in this unit
that does not work on ATT TMO. The LTE radio holds on a diff frequency. Weird setup ....
