I purchased a sim card online for my Razr M from Globe. According to a Verizon rep, all 4G phones are unlocked and will work with international sim cards. I'm having trouble trying out the card right now. It won't recognize the sim. I'm currently unlocked, rooted, and running a 4.2.2 ROM. Currently trying this sim in the US as my brother tried a nano sim from the same company with success on his iPhone 5s.
EDIT: Solved the issue by unlocking the phone to work with U.S. carriers.

Hye all
i recently purchased a samsung galaxy s4. I can confirm that it is unlocked for UK network however when i put my malaysian sim card in it asked for a sim network unlock code. Anyone here know how is this possible and is there any way that i can unlock this?
It is worth noting that on the box of the phone it says
European model.
this product is only compatible with SIM card issued from a mobile operator within Europe.
Please help me.
Thanks
Hi! first poster here.
I've just got this phone wich was recently unlocked from TELCEL MEX carrier. The weird thing here is that the phone work flawlessly with any domestic carrier sim cards, but not with my US T-Mobile sim card.
I've test this T-mobile sim card with other unlocked phones (Galaxy S4 i9500 and Alcatel Pop) here in México without problem, but in the S4 above mentioned asks for sim unlock code.
The cell phone is SGH-I337M with KitKat 4.4.2. and firmware CSC code TCE
Thank you very much in advance!
This may be relevant or not.
My previous phone was an HTC Desire S on O2UK.
O2UK give you a free unlock on all contract phones after 6 months and send a code by email to you.
Any time I tried changing sims to a different carrier it asked for the unlock code, except when it was Tesco Mobile UK.
It may be that the original carrier requires you to input the unlock code for anything other than certain providers.
I tried to get an unlock code for my I9505 LTE but they said it was factory unlocked so can't speak about the phone specifically but with the Desire S, also on O2UK, had a similar issue.
I've got the pin code
Thanks for your input, sure it's relevant.
I have the unlock code for the T-mobile sim card, but of course it's not recognized by the phone (or sim card?)
In the other phones tested the process was straight forward, just inserted sim, boot up and voilá.
Went to the Telcel's service center but the person there confirmed that it's unlocked.
I'ven reading about a "Regional Lock" of some Samsung devices, but i realy can tell if this the case.
Anybody else having this kind of issue?
Region locking I don't believe has anything to do with this. When the phone was unlocked, the region locking should also have been removed.
I received at&t S7 phone at work few month ago, I have never put in the sim card into the phone, now I want to sim unlock to use with Tmobile network, try to unlock with code purchase online but they can't find IMEI code... is there other way to sim unlock ,
Thanks
I recently bought an unlocked sm-g930a. Do you know if updating with the new at&t 7.0 firmware will lock the sim to at&t again?
Best Regards
Hi there my name is Ben I am trying to figure out something my note 9 AT&t variant paid off with the new Android pie update when I put a SIM card from AT&t it installs the AT&t software when I put in a Verizon sim card it installs the Verizon software when I put in a T-Mobile SIM card it puts the T-Mobile software and logo how come I can't get that on the S10 plus unlocked variant and is it possible in the future I will be able to do this just pop a SIM card in and it's like you bought the phone from that carrier directly or will that not happen with an unlocked? Thank you for responding I appreciate all of you here my note 9 it's like I owned for devices in one thank you.

Are you talking about unlocked exynos version vs snapdragon unlocked version ? If it's snapdragon unlocked if you flash any carrier firmware and install ur sim it'll change itself but if you flash unlocked firmware it'll just boot like a normal unlocked variant. That's from my experience on note 8-9. When it comes to exynos version I don't think that's an option I have a s10 plus exynos on T-Mobile and have no issues why are you trying to get it to boot with branded bootlogo ?
It installs the carrier firmware of whichever carriers sim card you put in the phone, it's just that the boot logo doesn't change.

Im coming from a S9+. Its been two years since i played around with flashing Fw etc so my memory is a bit hazy.
Short question. If were to put a USA sim card in my Canadian S20+. Will that cause a factory reset? Or does the canadian fw does not have the CSC files for the US carriers so it should continue to function as is, but potentially with missing features for the US carrier? Does that sound about right?
Thank you
It will work just fine, if the device is carrier unlocked. I have an unlocked G981W from Bell, and an ATT sim worked no problem. No device reset etc required.
Also have tried a Rogers and a SaskTel sim without issues .
Cool thanks.
