Hi people!
Help if somebody know please. Now I am in Bangladesh, and I got local sim card, the problem is that I cannot connect internet. APNS are right, but there is no connection. They have only 2G, but at least I can use some whatsapp staff. I was thinking, maybe there is a problem with cut sim card? Cus normally in small shops they do not sell micro sim card, and they cut it when I bought it. Can it be problem with wrong cut? or what?
p.c other people with me, who bought sim card do not have this problem.

it depends on the coverage of the service provider in the place where you reside..
try connecting to internet in some other place.. if it doesn't work then get a SIM of a different service provider

I unlocked successfuly my tmobile g1 coming from usa, but now I have no signal and unable to register on network.when I go in settings,wireless control,,mobile networks.when i ask for available networks i have this error message:"error while searching for networks".even when i choose select automatically i have this:"your sim card does not allow a connection to this network".we have GSM, GPRS, and EDGE in my country.Do you have any idea?thanks!
It's your SIM card being locked to a specific network. You might have to contact your vendor.
I don't understand,my sim card locked?I don't have pin code.you are talking about my foreign sim card(non tmobile?)could you explain more?
I don't know why either. I just know that is what happens. I had the same problem with my SIM too when I went on vacation. But I didn't bother trying to fix it. Since I brought the local SIM to use because I didn't want to pay the international rates.
just got my lg c900 today from ebay, and when i insert my att sim card, it says "invalid sim card"...
But I have been using this sim card on other devices, like nokia 2710 and my touch 3g and they work fine!!
So i tried someone else's sim card(Att), it works too!!!
What should i do.....
You need to unlock the phone to use with other carrier. There are a lot of unlocking services that can help you to unlock it.
Aha!
I had the exact same 'problem' and freakou... er... reaction.
You have to activate a plan on the SIM card. Only then will it stop giving you the INVALID SIM message at startup.

Jesus! Is there no other way out? I didn't buy it from AT&T and don't want to pay for the data plan....
can i just don't make a data plan but just enable the data connection?
If you want to use the phone or Data (excluding Wifi) functions of the phone, you'll need to have some sort of plan or prepaid account associated with the SIM card.
It doesn't mean you have to pay the 'Smartphone' package that AT&T offers (forces) when you get the phone on a contract. You don't even need to have a plan at all! You just need to activate an account online.
Thanks, but actually this is not my contract phone. I bought it from someone else. In my current contract my device is a basic phone, but I enable the data connection function(pay per usage).
But it's still not working...what a wp7....
what do you mean by activating an account online? I already got my account.
Well, on Telus, you just had to activate a phone by entering the SIM number (it's on the little card you received with the SIM or sometimes on the SIM itself) in the 'Activate your Phone' wizard.
Problem fixed!!!!
I call the ATT customer service and they update my sim card information. now it works!!!
Excellent to hear! I'm glad your problem got fixed
Hi ! You are my last hope ! Just got N4 from USA, unlocked and all. I've cut my sim to fit the slot and it still works - i tested it on my sister's iphone. N4 absolutely refuses to see the network and upon connecting says "your sim card does not allow connection to the network". I am in Russia on MTS cell provider (all other androids are just fine) and I think it is just GSM and 3G provider. The N4 is stock.... Please, please help as I am in shock !! Much thanks in advance !
Do other sim cards work in the n4?
same problem
I had the same problem.
Had a Sim that worked just fine and used the same that was going to use for the nexus 4 and didn't work.
Now both Sims doesn't work at all is there anything that could be done?
Please help

The N4 is finicky with cut sims. Many users have had problems with cut sims that work in one phone but not in the N4. Others get them working for a while and then they error. Others manage to get them cut perfectly and they work.
You need to get a real micro sim. Don't use cut down ones.
I brought S4 just another day and when I insert sim card the phone says "No sim Card" but I inserted it already!
Its micro sim i'm buying another sim card today and see if it works,
Will customer service fix this if the problem is in the phone ? If yes then is it covered by warranty ?
Any help? maybe its software problem

And how exactly he should or anyone should know what's exactly your problem? Can be hardware or the simcard. This is up to you to find out.
First try a new simcard , and try to get one micro sim factory cut if you can, if still nothing means is hardware.
Did you put it in wrong?

You have the answer on this topic, if doesn't work with any simcard, bring it back.
GT I9505 doesn't detect LTE sim, works fine with 3g Sim
Hello all !
I own a 2.5 year old GT i9505 (LTE variant) which works completely fine with a 3g Sim but the "Sim Card not inserted" error appears as soon as a 4g Compatible Sim is inserted. Could this be a modem issue ?
I live in India (got the phone from Europe) and have been using 3g services without any hitch for the past 2 years. Vodafone recently launched 4G services here and my phone doesn't detect the new 4G Sim card .
My phone shows the LTE/WCDMA/GSM modes but doesn't detect the Sim card.
Tried with another Sim from the store that doesnt work either.
Details :
AP: I9505XXUHOJ2
CP: I9505XXUHOJ2
CSC: I9505EURHOJ1
All ideas and solutions are appreciated.
It's possible that there is something wrong with the phone's sim card reader. You could replace the reader for not a lot of money and it's easy to do yourself.
Maybe your phone is unable to detect LTE Networks from Vodafone India because from what I research, India uses TDD-LTE. You could Google-d LTE bands that used in India and compare it with your phone's supported LTE bands.

Thanks for your reply.
I considered that option but a 3g sim works perfectly. Do you still think it would help ?

I guess I am just lucky my phone supports both.

Still no luck !
I don't know that much about sim card technology. Have you tried the LTE sim card in a very old phone to see if the old phone detects the sim?

I did infact it works with every phone except this one.
Leads me to conclude it is the sim reader or motherboard if no LTE SIM cards work. Doesn't seem like software.
I have N4 from T-Mobile, but I decided to give it to my mother. Since she had standard SIM, we went to her provider and they cut it into micro SIM. But when I insert this new micro SIM card into phone, it isn't recognized. It shows there is no SIM card at all. My card works. Is this a know problem? How can it be fixed?

Cutting isn't perfect, especially with older SIMs... It is entirely possible to render the SIM unusable by cutting it, granted it usually works, especially with newer SIMs, but not always. Verify the contacts match up by comparing to your SIM and if it does then the most likely cause is the cutting ruined the SIM and you will need to contact her provider for a new SIM. There is no known issue with using a cut SIM other than this.

The Nexus 4 doesn't like cut sims. Although they can work, many users have issues.
