Hello Folks!
Does anyone know if Note will work on Red Pocket network? I understand they are using AT&T towers, but just wanted to double check and see if anyone as any experience with them?
Also if you are on Red Pocket, can you please post your data speeds? I am in New York - Long Island area.
Thank you,

works just fine... no problems... not sure of the speeds but it does pretty good.... sold it to a customer last week and he is happy

I can attest that it works fine on Red Pocket as well. I'm wondering if MMS will be ok when my note updates to ICS because I've heard there have been some APN problems on other phones that upgraded to ICS.

Thanks again.

I am trying to unlock a n7000 for a friend. Which makes no since to me because I thought this phone was factory unlocked. Yet when I put her red pocket sim in it, it asks for a sim unlock code. I've checked in the "about phone" settings and confirmed that it is a n7000. She bought it off eBay and the seller also claimed it is factory unlocked. Anybody have any idea what the issue might be? Thanks in advance

Thanks for the link. Didn't get a chance to try it. I rooted it with doom lord v4(would post link but don't know how) and installed busybox and unlocked with galaxy s unlock from the play store. Worked perfectly.
BTW turned out it it is a sgh-i9220/gt-n7000 so it was locked to a vodaphone. Don't understand why Samsung wouldn't put that info in the about phone info oh well thanks again

"Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"

I just got this message on my phone and I have no idea how to fix it, I searched Google and tried just about everything I can. If I take my sim card out and put it in another phone if works great, I put it back in this phone and it doesn't work. Ive tried manually searching network, nothing. I've tried reflashing carbon ROM stock kernel and radio, nothing. I've tried toggling airplane mode, nothing. Wtf is going on here? I like this phone but I've never had so much trouble with a phone.

Sorry I think you may need to do a factory reset. Try backing up as much as you can off the phone and do the reset. GL My wife's touch 4g had the same issue when switching sim cards from her work blackberry to the touch 4g. Because the phone was brand new, there was no issue in doing a factory reset with the sim card installed.

its a real micro sim card, and i tried the resetting thing. no luck.
i just got off chat with tmobile and they said its due to the fact of non payment (i guess i shouldnt buy a phone from craigslist anymore)
so i assume theres no fix for this

bad choice buddy , should have bought it straight from google ORRR , asked the owner for the imei so you can check if its clean , im a big craigslist person too , but you have to check things like that , i bought a xbox 360 for cheap that was in mint condition but it was console banned for hacking/piracy reasons.
EDIT tmobile is cracking down on people who buy phones for cheap on a contract and dont finish paying , they will block your phone from their networks.

Wow that sucks. So does that mean the IMEI is blacklisted on tmo for non payment? Did the tmo chat say anything about new owner and such?

tmobile wont care if you claim to be a "new owner" or if you even tell them you bought it from someone who jacked you off , if its blacklisted he's out of luck , the best choice he has is to contact tmobile and check the IMEI

im on tmobile and i like my plan so i dont plan on going anywhere with it.
i see people on craigslist fixing bad esn iphones, so theres no way to fix the imei number?
and im probably gonna sell it on craigslist or keep it as a mp3 player

Same problem
Hi there...
just got my Nexus yesterday. I'm from Brazil and a friend of mine got it from Play Store (unlocked, I guess). Here we have 4 main carriers, mine is OI. My Sim card works great in other devices (tested on Iphone 4S and Galaxy SIII). The device shows all 4 carriers, but when I tap on "OI", I got the same topic message.
Any ideas???

Text message from AT&T

So this is more of a carrier question more than a related to my s4 question but I did an upgrade and just popped my old sim which was only a month old in and I know everything is fine always have did this. Well I got this text today about 3 weeks after I got my s4 so I never used the included new sim. But I've did this in the last and never got a text like this it. Any idea?

call 866-895-1099 its the automated activation line, it will activate the correct IMEI and SIM on your plan, activate any new features you selected(if applicable), add insurance to the device if you chose it at purchase. Otherwise everything is still incorrect based on your old phone. After the call your current sim will go dead, use the one that came with the phone.

What kind of answer is that!!!??? I'm not stupid, its not like I switched from a dumb phone to a smart phone...... and what features? Why would I change anything if I'm on the unlimated data plan? I change phones almost every 6 months or so and even with upgrades never got this message.

Well....he was just trying to help, and I thought it was a good answer...how are we supposed to know you have an unlimited plan? Or you didn't change anything...
Anyways...even if you did change something you wouldn't need to activate for the changes to occur...its pretty much so Att gets the imei and all that sorted out I believe...thy link the phone to your number on your account

Please don't get hostile, but it is a really, really good idea to properly activate your new phone through AT&T and also to take the new SIM card. But instead of the automated system like I used, I might recommend calling through to an agent/CSR.
I had concerns about my unlimited plan as well, and noticed that if I were to activate, it would likely remove the unlimited H+ plan in favor of a 3gig LTE plan. I called a couple different times about this, and they said that everything would be alright, and they noted the account that they told me this. Shortly after activating it, I noticed that it did indeed make the switch on me, and that I suddenly had a 3GB data limit on this line. I called back, and they said that this was necessary to be able to pre-order the device, and it was not giving them the option to put it back. They put in a ticket and gave a "it will be fixed by this date" date. About a day and a half later, I got a text saying they corrected the issue. I checked online, and my account was back to normal.
I'm 90% sure that if I had called to activate my phone manually with an agent, they could have spared the unlimited plan from the get-go. I would recommend calling and talking to an agent, such that they can mark the order as complete/received and they can enter the new IMEI and ICCID numbers.
Further, there's a small, non-credible amount of evidence that suggests that the newer SIM cards and a proper activation will yield better network speeds. I don't see how, apart from some sort of throttling implemented by AT&T for "everyone else".

While this is true, they don't automatically update their billing system and other records - or at least not right away. I work with about 110 AT&T lines at work, mixed between crackberries, "feature-phones" and iPhones. I've noticed that while a new phone will work, but the website will still show the old IMEI number until we manually update it.

You asked for help and you got it.
This is exactly what needs to get done.
There should have been a sheet of paper with instructions included stating to call that exact number above and follow the steps through the automated system. Most people completely ignore it out of the excitement of getting a new phone. I don't blame you.

I did it last night and it activated the new sim. My phone just got deactivated..... At 11:30 this morning tried to send a text and bam kept failing...
So is it hurting anything that Im had to agree to my contract again??

Unlocked, working, but then show "NO SERVICE". LTE Ok, but no signal, no phone calls.

Unlocked, working, but then show "NO SERVICE". LTE Ok, but no signal, no phone calls.
Maybe you guys from international forum can help me find a solution for this.
Here is the scenario:
I bought the phone from a Swappa Seller. Phone is t-mobile branded and was in the box, Brand new.
http://swappa.com/listing/ZPB505/view
Brand New Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910T White ( UNLOCKED) 32GB
Phone is brand new in its original box. The phone has never been used. All Accessories are still sealed in plastic - The phone model is SM-N910T. This is a great deal on a BRAND new - NEVER USED phone!
This phone is guaranteed to work with AT&T. There is no regional lock whatsoever

Can anybody tell me why a T-mobile unlocked phone won't work with T-mobile?
I used the phone on my carrier and it was flawless. Everything was fine till suddenly i lost phone signal. It always show "NO SERVICE" message now, but strangely I still have 4G Connection. I can use the phone to navigate, not to make phone calls.
So I swapped carriers, and the phone was working ok, phone calls, data connection.... then the thing happened again: no service, but i have 4g LTE connection.
Inserted a third sim card, from another carrier. Phone is fine, workin as it should! But this is not my main sim card and i would like it very much to work with ANY carrier. Do you guys have any idea what the problem is? Factory reset did not work at all. For the others sim cards, it recognize the network for a second and then "no service". How can i have data connection if there is "no service"?
Im really desperate because i payed a lot for this note 4... Maybe if i root the phone and flash another ROM?
help please!

Try reflashing it with stock firmware. I don't know if this is a sign of phone being reported as stolen or lost.
Maybe some more expert can answer that as I'm not from US.

Phone might be blacklisted only on T-Mobile could take longer until it goes on us canada blacklist

Same problem here. Bought the device over the internet in Norway. Seems to be it is blocked on one network but the other is working. Anyway to fix that?

Pretty much the only way would be to write new imei which is illegal.

in my country there are 4, i cant use in two of them. Called the costumer service, they said my IMEI is OK. If it wasnt, i could not use it in all carriers. Damn it.. have no idea what to do... Im think about sueing SAMSUNG and force them to give me a new device.

If it is bought from swappa, it must have passed their imei test, which means it is not blacklisted and already been paid off. This is strange, but contact seller and swappa immediately...

Edit:
I have just read the conversation at swappa, and the seller seems to be hiding something based on his answer to the other person who asked a question.... he said this::

First ask swappa what was the IMEI number that the seller submitted, check that with the IMEI on your hpone. If there is a discrepancy, then it means the seller submitted an IMEI which is already paid off, then he sent you the NEW one, which he MIGHT have declared lost or stolen, hence the BLOCK.
Good luck

did you send a message on the sale page? if you did, thanks, swappa answered me, device is blacklisted by T-Mobile. I just dont understand how can i use the phone on others providers like VIVO and OI, TIM and CLARO dont accept the phone in their network, i wonder if they have a bussiness relationship with TMobile.
I will contact Tmo and ask what can i do about this.

We have 2 major networks in Norway. It was blocked on the one for like 1 month and afterwards other operator also blocked the IMEI. The only solution is to change IMEI or the motherboard. Unfortunately there is no way out of this.

Victim of a Fraud from Ebay seller

I purchased Lg G6 unlocked t-mobile from ebay India on a half price of original "this is what I was patting my back with pride for" for a while though. Well, today I got a prompt on my phone screen that T-mobile temporary unlock period is expired, please reboot. I could smell the issue by now and as soon as I rebooted another message said "Network Lock". Now my sim does not have network signals. It is as good as a brick because I do not have t-mobile sim nor I think this phone was outright'ly purchased before it landed in my hands.
Looking for options:
1) does flashing custom rom (If available) release the network lock?
2) are there software available that can unlock without t-mobile sim?
3) are there paid unlock services available for foreign network?
4) any other that I am not aware of?
:crying::crying::crying:

For what price you purchased the mobile?

My friend has the same issue. Bought a second hand Tmobile G6 and the sim couldnt get any signal. After a while googling I found that IMEI of the device is blacklisted.
Now I wonder if rooting the device and changing the IMEI would help.

No solution yet. Tried few options but all in vain. Now, what I have found out that, If I downgrade it to Nougat 11g, then I can get it unlocked. Though I am not able to find one post where there was a complete procedure looks like it was deleted by the OP.
