On my (modded and unlocked) Jetstream the two Mobile network(s) options are disabled when:
It has no SIM card in the slot.
It is in Airplane mode.
Both of the above.
It likely that if you have a SIM card in the slot that is to a foreign carrier, that the two above options will also be disabled. In that case you will have to "pay to play" (i.e. unlock your Jetstream).

I have just purchased an unlocked T-Mobile Vibrant and it works well with my carrier' voice network by just installing my current SIM card into it. My carrier is Iwireless. The problem is that I have been unable to connect to their data network. I have contacted customer service for Iwireless and have obtained the APN for their network but any assistance beyond that they are not really forthcoming since the Vibrant is not one of their phones.
Has anyone succeeded in using the Vibrant to connect to Iwireless' data network? I had hoped that since Iwireless was an affiliate of T-Mobile that there wouldn't be an issue with the data.
Any help, hint or tips will be appreciated.
Since you already have the APN settings, go on the phone to settings-->Wireless and Networks-->Mobile Networks-->Access Point Names and there you can click the menu button (lower left corner) and select "add new APN" the put the settings they gave you and done... maybe restart the phone just in case after putting the new APN
I have already entered to APN I received from Iwireless and restarted the phone. Also from the Settings>Wireless and network>Mobile networks where I entered the APN, I go into "Network operators" and choose "Search now" to search for all available networks and this comes back with the Iwireless network IWS and also AT&T. When I select IWS it comes back and says that I am "Registered on network". I restart the phone and still no connection.
Are there other settings that need to be made?
Thanks.

I'm having the same on my Samsung Galaxy SIII it's iWireless and service department had no clue.
how come when i'm using the sim card of another country, the t-mobile is still the one that is shown my phone's network status? and in the notification bar its showing 2 network which is the t-mobile network and globe network. when i select search networks in the wireless settings it's only showing t-mobile and at&t.
my phone has been unlocked, and i can recieve text messages from the philippines in my globe sim card. but i if i make some calls it's saying that the phone is not allowed to make outgoing calls while using that sim card.
any ideas?

I think that is normal when you are roaming. My nokia is alternating between vodafone IE and whoever I'm roaming on. Even the Truphone sim does it.
oh thanks. this is my first roaming sim that's why I don't have any idea about it.

I am one of the lucky ones that lives/works in an EDGE only area. Is there a way to disable 3G/4G and just use EDGE? Under Mobile Networks, I can uncheck 'use packet data', choose 'access point names' (currently set to epc.tmobile.com) or select 'network operators'.
I saw various talks of it on other devices, but wanted to know for sure what my options were on the GS3.
Thanks.
It's in the hidden menu to change your network settings.
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Select Device information
Scroll down to network preference
I believe "GSM only" will take you down to edge.

Thanks for the info! It was set to "GSM auto (PRL)". I went ahead and set it to GSM only, rebooted, and it held that setting. Guess we'll see if that helps any on the battery life too :good:
Kind of ridiculous that this option isn't easily available, as it was before
Hey guys i bought LG V10 DUAL SIM H961N from Hong Kong.
But in Settings /network/more/mobile networks i cant see Network mode .
Did someone face this same problem??? or is there another way to change the network mode (2G/3G/4G)???
Hello!
You should have that option in Setting:
Settings -> More -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode
If you don't see that option then you can try use hidden menu. Press in the phone:
*#546368#*961#
Then:
Field test -> Modem settings -> Network mode.
You can also try use others settings, which are responsible for network.

Activation 2G network on LG V10
was lucky to come across this simple way after many trials...
Go to play store and download "LG V10 hidden settings"
click on mobile network, then
Click on Network mode.
...choose your preferred network mode
(GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto)
GSM/WCDMA auto
WCDMA only
GSM only.
...enjoy your phone...

Hello,
My S22+ (Snapdragon, dual sim version) doesn't have the option "Allow all SIMs to use data in calls" in Settings > Connections > Mobile networks. Do you see that item in your phone's Settings?
This is for switching data to use the SIM, which just received a call, so mobile data isn't disconnected when there is a call to any of the SIMs.
