Emergency mode? Ah, I have an idea? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So. I was just thinking. I can make emergency calls with no sim card. Why can't I make regular calls with no sim card? When you take out the SIM you get access to more emergency numbers too. What network is that on? Is there a way to add contact numbers to a list of numbers I can call during emergency call only mode? Would anyone get in trouble for something like that?

qpst and cellular calling

After using QPST for my Dad's Inc4g it has 2 odd cellular problems.
#1
It can make outgoing calls for a few minutes.
But then it says that the “phone number is not active or invalid” (like it’s not activated).
Then the only call it can make is to 611 (data and wifi off), but it gives me his correct balance and minutes used (so it's still connected to his account).
Rebooting does not allow it to make outgoing calls either.
It's as if it's partially dropped off the verizon network somehow because turning the radio on and off again also doesn't work (airplane mode on/off).
And when another phone calls him it goes straight to his voicemail.
BUT….if another verizon phone calls he CAN receive that incoming call no problem.
*Then once he answers that incoming call, he can magically make an outgoing call again!
So can anyone tell me what I might need to change, to stop it from loosing the ability to make outgoing calls?
It’s brand new (NOT rooted or anything else).
The Preferred network is set to CDMA only.
Only changes have been through QPST, and switched to NV-Only mode so he doesn't have to use the sim card.
Also after QPST the roaming triangle popped up, but I have the 58012 PRL (isn’t this the latest for this phone)?
#2
If he starts to dial a number, but then immediately hangs up (accidental dial), his next call gets the "system busy" network error.
Then attempting to make a call after that gives the same error as above (requiring a verizon phone to call to get him back on the network).
Could someone try do this and see if they can repeat this error?
So to anyone who has used QPST with this phone, or flashed it to another carrier, do you have any change suggestions for either of these problems? Maybe changing something in EPST?
Thanks for your help.

[Q] Remove Emergency Call 911 Contact

I have called ATT and Asus to find out if the emergency contact of 911 can be removed. They both said no.
The problem is that 911 is preprogrammed ICE contact, and my pocket managed to dial 911 about once or twice a month. It is really annoying. Why can't Asus/ATT just allow the emergency to access the key pad rather than have a contact (911) that cannot be removed?
Do anyone know if I root the device, would I be able to remove the 911 contact in ICE?

Initiating sms on gear

I have a gear s tmobile. Up until this past week I've been able to use the gear to initiate texts and all of the sudden this function has stopped. When I go into messages, compose and try to send a message I get this phone icon with a half circle in front of it as opposed to the arrow like it's loading or sending but it doesnt move or change and the texts don't send. When i turn off bluetooth and try to use mobile network or wifi i get the red square icon with the exclamation point. I cannot use s voice to initiate texts either though other s voice functions - ie call bill - works fine.
I can reply to texts as they come in all day. I suddenly just cannot start them on my gear. I have tweaked every option i could think of, rebooted, reset the watch, tried to switch from primary textra to primary Samsung messages, removed the sim card and so far nothing. Something wrong with my sim card or what?
***update*** it was the sim card. Not sure why texting worked at first then didn't but I had to log in and input the # on the sim card and reboot.
i dont have a sim. im using bluetoth with the same problems any help?
I know for me, I can't have airplane mode on and send messages. I can still receive them with it on though.
*with bt connected

Thank you for the update. I am having the same issue except it affects calling only - I can not make any phone calls, and I can not receive any phone calls - I can text and use my data though like normal, but I can not make any phone calls nor can I receive any phone calls. You mentioned that you had to "log in" and "input the # on sim", and "reboot" -- would you please elaborate where you have to go to "log in" like on the: T-Mobile Website? Samsung Website? where do you "log in"?

Hey yes on T-Mobile website. My T-Mobile.. I forget the exact links but you click into your device and go from there.. Pretty sure there's a number on the sim and you input that and reboot. I called T-Mobile and they were pretty helpful if you get stuck.

Ok, I went on to the T-Mobile website, then created an account for my T-Mobile Samsung Gear S phone number under "My T-Mobile". However, when I log in to "My T-Mobile" I do not see anywhere listed a place where I can input the number on my SIM card. I tried looking under the submenus of: Billing, Usage, Plan, Phone, and Shop, but was not able to find the place where I could input the number on my SIM card -- where do I find the place to input the number on my SIM card?

Phone Registers on Network but "No SIM detected"

I'm having a weird problem with my OneX+ where I can make and receive calls, send and receive texts, view SIM messages but when I go to the APN menu to add a new one a toast message pops up saying there's no SIM detected. Due to this, I can't turn on my mobile data
I've tried the tape behind the SIM fix and that didn't work (The SIM is being detected anyway).
Thoughts? Software or hardware related? Anything else I can try? I'm on the stock ROM, unrooted.

Can't make calls says emergency calls only

My phone has a good Sim card in it. It says Sim card installed. It says Emergency calls only---as thought there is. Need help with this please. It just stopped making calls. Airplane mode is not on. Then it did start working the other day. All other functions work perfectly.
