vs987 using a Verizon sim from Net10 wireless. When trying to enable it I get an error: Mobile number not found. Prior to installing the Verizon sim, I had an at&t sim and would get an error: Verizon sim card not found. I've been able to use the pdanet app and desktop utility for Windows successfully but there are obvious limitations.
Does anyone know if this is a Carrier limitation.. has anyone had problems using this with any other model, specifically the u.s. unlocked rs988?
Thinking of ditching this model for the rs988 but need to know if I can use the mobile hotspot with a Verizon mvno sim or at&t mvno sim..
Thanks in advance
Anyone with the factory unlocked rs988?
anyone with the u.s. unlocked model that can use the wifi tethering/mobile hotspot feature, on any network, could you please sound off.. thanks..
Confirmed..
So I just got an rs988.. mobile hotspot is unlocked. Currently using a Verizon Sim on NET10 wireless.. It appears that Verizon locks this down when not using their network. LAME.

So I have me an Orange- UK sim card coming. My AT&T Galaxy S2 Is unlocked. I was wanting to test this in the states before everything. Its Prepaid but Orange Prepaid WORKS on T-Mobile in the USA. Since Network Selection is locked down Is there anyway to Select T-Mobile? Cause I know network secltion is locked. And yes the Phone is SIM UNLOCKED so I know it will take the sim card. its just will it connect to the T-Mobile Network?
It will work for calls. But Internet will only be edge. 3g and 4g(h+) for tmobile are run on a band this phone doesn't have.

But would my phone be able to get on the T-Mobile network at all since I can't select networks? And also idk about the att version but the T-Mobile galaxy s2 has the ATT 3g bands. But data does not matter. I just needed an UK number here in the states so calls and texts are just fine. But would it easily connect to the T-Mobile network without selecting it? Since it won't let me

Just do a search for tmobile apn's. Putting in the right apn will 'select' your carrier. Calling and internet will work fine. Just limited to edge. Tmobile phones are 100% compatible with at&t networks.

Sense it is similar unlocked it is network unlocked. Once you put your similar in and reboot it will go through the network set up again saying it detected a new similar card. After that it will connect fine. As for the data he is right the ATT version only supports ATT 3G or better bands, but as you said the data doesn't matter. If it doesn't automatically go through you can go into settings and select wireless networks and there is an option to scan for networks. Just select T-Mobile if that is what your carrier will run on. Not sure how it will react sense it will be roaming on that network though
On the att galaxy s2 it won't allow u to do network scan it search unless running miui rom

It would if your sim card prefers T-Mobile network. Although you can't manually select networks, SIM card contains instructions as to which network it prefers to use. There is really no need to manually select networks unless you don't like what the SIM carrier prefers.
hi, Could some one explain me what does LTE unlocked sim free phone mean. Is it something like an unlocked phone? Can i use a Gsm sim in this?
Yes, you can use a GSM SIM in it. It's unlcocked.
Read it this way:
LTE, unlocked, sim free phone ...
LTE -- capable of using the fastest wireless data network, and it also supports the slower networks (like GSM)
unlocked -- it is not forces to use a particular carrier, like Rogers or AT&T
sim free -- the phone does not come with a sim card (that is for a particular carrier) and you have to purchase one to use the phone, the AT&T phones come with an AT&T sim
Hi, I'm new here.
I own Universal Unlocked Samsung S10 Model # SM-G973U1 purchased directly from Samsung. I originally activated it on the Boost Mobile network and Ive decided to switch to AT&T prepaid service. I find out that the SM-G973U1 apparently wont utilize the AT&T Wifi Calling (Per: AT&T Forum). I was informed I'd need the SM-G973U.
I'm also not sure if I'm even getting the 4g connection (My phone shows LTE, LTE+, H, H+ and no connection).
I believe I have bad cell reception in my house.
If I were to install the SM-G973U firmware onto my SM-G973U1, would this solve my problem?
Will my phone still be an Universal unlocked phone?
If I choose to switch back to the SM-G973U1 firmware should I be OK?
Would I need to do the same if I were to switch to T-Mobile?
Would I be better off switching to T-Mobile?
Any other thoughts about this topic I should be aware of?
Thank you for your time.

Since the N200 Metro variant is known to work with TMO sims prior to unlock......can this device also work with TMO MVNO. say like Tracfone with a TMO Tracfone sim?
Thanks.
I suspect not as I've tried both Google Fi and Boost Mobile SIMs and it just shows the SIM as invalid and informs me that the device is still network locked. I'd originally wanted to use it with Google Fi so that was certainly disappointing.
Bit of a **** show here, but I purchased a T-Mobile V60 via Ebay but was sent a Verizon version instead. I'm in Canada on Telus and so I'm not getting any signal connection at all and the Mobile Networks option is greyed out so I cannot add an APN.
Is there a way to get Mobile Networks unlocked?
