Make sure the sim card is the same as the US sim card. When i went to india, mobile data wouldn't work for me either (calls worked), i have no idea why because the sim card was the same as my T-Mobile one. Try asking the carrier

yea i had it taken to the carrier here and well they weren't much help but say that it was the phone itself.. the sim card are the same... the only thing that is left is to flash the radio which i will have done later today
The radio won't matter. These are most likely wrong APN settings and/or incompatible carrier UMTS bands.
Did you check the APN?? What letter is showing ej E, H, 3G? Am think is wrong APN bc is was incompatible band you could not make or recive calls

Yes you can but you will have to flash a custom EURO based ROM in order to do it and use the correct modem driver for your carrier.
There are several posts with instructions on how to do it here in the Galaxy Tab forums. Good Luck and be sure to read up before trying it. I have done it and its not too hard. Just be patient and read.
thanks, i was looking and cannot foud... i found and download euro rom, but it will give me 2g only, i don't want to use galaxy like a phone, i just need 3g internet connection.
to kable:
if you can drop me link, it will be so helpfully...and thank you for respond.
Have to use modem swither. 2g for calls and have 3g data.

modem swither dont work for me, already tried. the problem is when i'm going online, browser sand me back to t-mobile site.
Google -> "t-mobile redirect."
First post.
You can't use data with a phone SIM card without possibly doing something illegal that I wont go into in this thread. Basically, the network realizes you have a phone data plan and that you are not on a device approved for that phone plan.

So have an AT&T SIM in my unlocked Nexus 4. I use all the default APN's and try to connect to the only mobile network available, "HOME" but it just tries to register on it forever without success. It doesn't work with the APN settings ST recommends on their web site. I haven't had a phone for a week and I could really use some help.
Thanks.

When you say "an AT&T SIM", do you mean an actual AT&T SIM card from AT&T, or a Straight Talk SIM card compatible with AT&T's network?
If it's the former, then you need to buy a new SIM card from Straight Talk that works on AT&T's network. Lucky for you, they just got back in stock.
If the latter, then I couldn't really help you. Make sure you are typing the correct APN in, try rebooting the phone, try dialing *#*#INFO#*#* and messing with the preferred network type under phone settings, make sure your SIM is fully activated and capable of bringing down data/voice/sms. That's really all I got.
It's a ST SIM compatible with AT&T's network.

JooshPole,
Are you using an old sim from a different straighttalk phone? If that is the case then you would probably need to use the old apn settings, if not then let me know and I'll try and help you out.
I bought a VS980 (The Verizon G2) because they come unlocked and it was cheapest. I use Net10. The sim card works within the phone, however it constantly shows that i am roaming, i dont get hspa+ (4g) anymore. Also it shows the sim card icon with a question mark on it. Could i possibly flash AT&T firmware onto it to fix that? I mean, what could i do? What specific things would i need to change?
Thanks a lot!

i also face same problem always showing roming icon when i use any gsm sim card on it...
I have the VS980 and it works great on T-Mobile, I get GPRS, EDGE, 3G, HSPA+, and LTE. I never tried it with AT&T or another GSM provider though.
When you use the stock ROM it will have issues like you listed, however if you install another ROM it should work fine. I believe I was running Malladus 4.2.2 at the time which removed the ? icon, and I didn't have to enter any APN info. I also ran it when on a 4.4 AOSP ROM.
so do i have to downgrade the bootloader or what? I'm actually trying to get a verizon vs980 on cricket (aio wireless/at&t network) and can only get H speeds. not bad and i can stream HQ youtube videos without buffering but would like faster. any input?
I met this problem, too. Is there any solution so that I can get my 4G back?
Please help.
Hi all,
I have a Sprint Galaxy s4 mf9 stock which has been unlocked by sprint. I have confirmed this because I don't get the invalid sim message. I have arrived in India and now I am trying to use a local sim here. The sim has been inserted and I have changed the network type to gsm/utms. However, I get a circle with a line thru it where the signal is to be shown. I try to click on mobile operators and when it searches there are all the results of the local phone operators here. However, when I choose the local one I have, which is Vodafone IN, I just get a message saying unable to connect try later. If I choose automatic, same problem. I never get the signal bars. Also, I have tried this sim in another full unlocked GSM phone here and the sim works normally. Please help on what I may be missing so that I can use this phone while I'm here. Thanks so much for any help.

Can someone Please help me figure out why I cannot get service on my Verizon Galaxy Note 3 when I'm traveling or specifically in India. I thought Verizon Note 3 is world unlocked out of the box!!! Am I wrong?
BACKGROUND:
I have successfully flashed my Verizon Note 3 to Boost Mobile so that means I used a Samsung Galaxy Prevail as my donor phone which means I changed the MEID # of my Note3. I have also successfully rooted the phone and have also installed Beanstown106 leaked version of KK 4.4.2 on the Phone with the latest Safestrap and it works fine as far as I can tell. I used the instructions from the following thread to flash my phone to Boost; just FYI:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060085
QUESTION:
I try to insert the GSM SIM card for Vodafone carrier and it's unable to connect to network even though I added the correct APN settings. So does this have anything to do with me changing the MEID# on my Note 3, is this why it's not connecting to a network?
I kept getting the error message that "This SIM card is from an unknown source" So I disable the setup wizard 1.0 using nobloat app and it got rid of that message. I'm still unable to connect to a network?
Can someone please tell me what I need to do to fix it or can tell me what the problem is?
Or if there's anyone that has used the Verizon Note 3 overseas successfully that can tell me what I'm doing wrong?
purchase a local SIM from Airtel with a 1GB 3G package and 200 minutes of talktime for about 700 rupees ($10 or so)!!
When adding the new SIM you will see message "Non-Verizon SIM detected" but apart from that voice should work just great. Go into the APN settings the + now active and add in the new APN settings for Airtel. After you do this the internet will start working and you will be able to get H/H+ speeds there.
So yes, Verizon 4G LTE phones are truly unlocked for oversees use and you can just pop in a foreign SIM and go no worries...

Yes it may very well have to do with a IMEI change. I didnt think it was possible to change the imei.

So why would the Airtel SIM work and Vodafone will not? I don't get it they are both GSM carriers so why would one work and other one wont? Even though I fixed the APN settings for the Vodafone SIM.

My mistake, I meant I changed the MEID# not the IMEI.
But apparently you can change the IMEI# of the device as well, allegedly according to the following thread. I never done it myself.

That could easily cause you issues if your carrier can't understand the identification information your phone is providing the tower.
To be safe keep a log of what you have changed that way if it is worse you can know how to go back or what you have played with otherwise as with myself once time passes I completely forget all the details.
