3G SIM in Prophet

A friend of mine wants to buy this phone. He has a 3G SIM card.
Will it work in the Prophet?

It will work but he will not get 3G data perfomance.

Are you sure about that?
I tried the SIM in mine and got the "invalid or missing SIM" message.

Is the phone unlocked?
Unless I am mistaken it should work someone please chime in if I am wrong or can provide additional information

I chucked my Orange UK Contract sim in and it worked immediately in my JAMin. Of course I get no 3G, but I do get EDGE, GPRS, Voice all as expected.

Some? Not all? Which ones?

if your 3 sim says "GEMPLUS" printed in small lettering on the Gold contacts side, it will work in a lot of non 3 phones, and almost all HTC phones.
If you dont see GEMPLUS, that means its a UMTS only sim (USIM), and you will get the "Invalid SIM" or "Insert correct SIM" message.

[Q] HTC HD2 wont connect to A&T network

I recently bought a TMOUS HTC HD2 and unlocked it to use on my AT&T network. However after unlocking the phone and trying a few roms I still am unable to connect to my AT&T network. I did unlock the phone on the stock winmo rom. And when I say i cant connect to the network I don't mean internet or mms. Not a single network function works, that includes calling, texting, mms, and internet.
Any help would be very much appreciateed. :fingers-crossed:

got any other sim cards available to try? (unlocking unlocks to all networks)

SIM cards
Well I have some old Tmo cards that I have from my old Tmo account. And I have a few other AT&T cards that are activated. Currently I have used one of the Tmos cards and one of the AT&T cards but they both do the same thing. It is rather frustrating. Do you think I am not picking up any of the EDGE signal the phone needs to work?

no, its not that, edge is just a manipulation of the 2g network, there is no 'edge signal', there are only 2g or 3g networks (simplified, and not really accurate/true, but close enough for this purpose)

have you EVER seen it working? id be tempted to think it was broken / blocked.

No I did not check before. Isn't there a way to tell if it is blocked with the imei number or something. I hate to think I bought a bad phone. If it is blocked is there anything I can do?

not sure, sorry. I'd maybe give at&t / tmo a call, see if they can offer any advice based on the imei.

Thank you for your help. One more thing the siginal bar at the top shows I have no signal but it has an x over the bar indicator. (I'm running gingerbread sense) When I drag the top bar down it says no service. Would this happen with a blocked phone?

No clue, sorry,

No Signal and unavailable network.

I have no signal and under the notifications bar It says "Selected network (T-mobile UK) is unavailable. So I thought let me change the sim, I did it still doesn't work. I checked and cleaned the sim card hole. Didn't work, I tried to set it manually under networks and select network, it didn't work also I checked my IMEI but my IMEI is still shown but my signal is -113dBm so what's the problem? I even flashed and factory reset to stock still the problem persists. Right now I'm using Kyrillos rom 10.5. Thanks in advanced.

Might sound stupid but try the Sim in another phone?

I've tried 2 sims and they both work in another phone. Seems like it could be a faulty sim card slot. Guess it's time to throw out my G3 had it now for over a year.

i got the exact same prob with a i9505 gs4 on JB then i updated it to stock rom kitkat 4.4.2 and its still the same with a o2 sim i can see the data arrows and the signal bars but other sims just signal bars but never connects to any network, if it was blocked it would ask for an unblocking code? would it not? did u get anywhere with this problem? my imei is ok and so is the serial no, and i checked and its not black listed and the phone works ok with wifi

Unable to register to any network..???

Hey guys,
So I recently purchased a N900W8 (canadian version) from the internet and it doesnt seem to register to the Bell network. They said it was with the Bell network, but the sim does not work. I also tried a Rogers sim, and it still doesnt register. For both sims, the network bars show up, the voicemail notification icon even shows up, but when I try to make calls it says "Not registered on network". I also just rooted the phone.
So my question is.. if it is SIM locked... how come the sim lock window isnt popping up for either of the sim cards? Since that is not popping up, is there another issue here? The phone is rooted, so would flashing a stock bell rom revert it somehow?
I am stuck.. thanks for all help.

-I have the exact same problem with n9005 version
-check your IMEI by dialling *#06# then pull you battery your find IMEI number......they wont be the same
I think the problem is here

Its possibly a stolen phone?
If it has been reported stolen it won't work on any network in the country it was reported stolen...
