I bought an unlocked Blue Dash JR K phone and tried it out with my Telus sim card today. For some reason, it doesn't seem to get any service.
In the first screenshot, the magnifying glass appears whenever I stick my sim card into the phone. I don't know what this means. The phone can still see the phone number and other details, but when I go to the sim management in settings, the call and text messaging are greyed out while data isn't. The data doesn't work whether it's off or on.
I've been searching on google and this forum and I still can't find anything on it. Some help would be appreciated, thanks.

I have 2 SIMS on Cingular. Is there anyway to show the phone number active on the today screen? This would help quickly identify which SIM is active. I've been looking without success. Thanks!
There are a few products that allow you to have 2 simcards in a phone ( you have to cute the little chip part out on both sims and put them in an adapter) I have heard that you usually get a pop-up on the phone saying what sim card to you want to use.
its something I am looking in to after I found out that T-moible allows you to get prepaid wifi/t-zones. I would get a tmoible prepaid and use it with my phone (cingular) but I dont know if I will be able to switch back and forth ( I know it requires a restart to switch)
there are alot of adapters that can be used to switch the SIMS. but what i am looking for is a program that shows the SIM phone number on the today screen to show me exactly which SIM is active.
SIM manager (in programs), can show you the number, but i have to load it each time. pain in arse. i just want to see it on the front page. any program that can do this?
there is a program called WIVIT that shows the number, but it doesn't work on WM5
i found a french site that may help ( use your fav translator)

I really need some help here... I bought an imate phone edition from Bahrain(in the Middle East), where it worked fine with the Batelco SIM(Bahrain's network operator)... even when I inserted my airtel(bangalore) sim into it it was reading the SIM(i.e. SIM contacts, SIM tool kit...etc.), so I can't make or receive phone calls, cant send or receive SMS, pretty much cant do the basic functions of a phone... There is an X on the network symbol...
I did a couple of flashes... tried WM 2005,6.1,6.5...etc... now after a hard reset my phone doesn't auto execute anything from Extended ROM and I dont get any Phone signal... All I get is a message that the phone is 'off'... And there is no option to turn it on...
Even it doesn't access SIM contacts, I tried a network wizard and specified AirTel India.. Still doesn't work... Anyone know what I need to do here??? I have a feeling that something important isn't loading from the Extended ROM on startup...
I've unlocked my phone as well(thinking that was the issue) using itsme's tool. Still no effect...
I'm currently using this SIM card on another phone till I can resolve this, so I am sure that the SIM is completely fine....
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated...
i have a g1 but it doesnt made the unlock code request.
and it show a message
NO SIM CARD have NO SERVICE.
the sim is working perfectly on another phone.
how can i check the sim card reader..?
or any tip....
no body...????? heeeeeeeeeeeeelp....
Go to Settings > Wireless Controls > Mobile Networks > Network Operators.
Select the new network, and you'll be prompted for the code.
Also (for your silly simple checks) ensure the sim card is inserted in the correct orientation.. the key on the sim needs to match the diagram on top of the sim slot.

Unless something's broken, it won't even be able to go in backwards. The key cut needs to be in the right place in order for the BATTERY to be installed.

Why so it is (my fault for never actually trying.. had someone say they tried backwards [and it failed] but they also previously opened the phone without the right tools and the plastic of the battery case was a bit of a mess..)
hi to all, thank you by your help.. but i still with the same problem.
1. the sim is install in the correct positions

i try all but noting...
hello, me too i try to use my but i can't when i put the sim card it always shows "no sim card in phone" now what can i do to display the enter code screen?
food for thought
Just curious, have you gone to Settings-Applications-Manage Applications and searched for Google Apps and cleared the cache.
I had a similar issue with the unlock screen and my calls never ring through, they went right to voice mail. I cleared the cache and that resolved the issue. Not sure if it will take care of the network issue, but give it a try.
any update about..???? no body know the problem..?
Hi, I've just purchased and HD2 running W7 (aMAGLDR V1.12 on the load screen), I've hit a problem which hopefully someone can help with.
I installed my new 3 Sim and the HD2 worked as a phone but the 3G wasn't working. I tried my mate's Virgin sim and got the same result.
I then tried my 3 Sim in his Xperia and it started setting up the 3G connection for him which we cancelled.
Put the 3 sim back in my HD2 and just get a 'No Service' message and what looks like a stop sign in the top left hand corner (it's hard to tell as it's mainly black on black). It knows that Sim is there as I get the No Sim screen if it's not installed.
Am I correct in thinking the stop sign means the Sim is locked or is it something else entirely ?

Did you change the phone's APN settings to your carrier? You won't get data service if you don't have the correct APN settings entered.
Yes I've put in what I believe are the correct APN settings, there the same as ones I found on here.
When I do a Network Selection for the 3G it finds 3 amongst others, but the active network section just shows 'no network found'
Is anyone using Red Pocket CDMA? Will I have to contact Red Pocket for CDMA_LESS to have text messaging working? My 6t arrives today and I am beginning to wonder if it will even work with Red Pocket CDMA. I was going to put my activated sim from my axon7 into the 6twhen I get it and hope it works.
So I got the phone today. Data works but can't make or recevive calls/text. Waiting to see if Red Pocket can do anything.

You may need to program in the APN settings for texting and calls. I am unfamiliar with Red Pocket, but searched the APN settings for them:

Hopefully this helps
Edit: I believe CDMA APN settngs are at the bottom of that link.

Thanks. The sim card needed to be replaced. Something about it locked to 3g or a 3g only card. It's all working now except for receiving sms messages. Redpocket has a ticket open to see if they can find a way to add CDMA_less provisioning.

Does Red Pocket use Verizon towers? If so theres been a few articles about a temp fix:
https://piunikaweb.com/2018/11/06/o...ng-issues-receiving-sms-mms-but-theres-a-fix/
Were you able to get the 6T to work completely with red pocket?
I'm attempting to use redpocket (CDMA/Verizon) as well. Sim card is activated and I get data service, but no voice or text. It won't let me change my APN settings. I guess I'll need to call them and get a new sim card like was mentioned earlier in the thread.
The op has the correct CDMA bands for VZW, but unfortunately they are not active. This is a shame as where I work sometimes, CDMA is only available. Not sure why the f CDMA is not active.
So I had the issue with no calls/texts, but data was working on redpocket (verizon version). I called their customer service and told them my symptoms and they got calls and outgoing texts working almost immediately without a new sim card. Apparently we can't update the APN settings because they're automatically fixed on the 6t. Incoming SMS still doesn't work. I asked about CDMA_Less setting, and got a hard "no". Who knows if that's the truth, but the tech I was talking to said it wasn't possible even after consulting his IT guy.
Good news! I was able to get Red Pocket to add the CDMA_LESS feature and now my phone is running smooth as butter! I had some issues so I will explain how I overcame those!
First I couldn't activate my voicemail. By activating this you are activating your phone pretty much. Every time I went to select 1 for English as my language it said I submitted an invalid choice. So I threw my sim in an unlocked iPhone SE and activated the voicemail. I then threw the sim back in my 6t and was able to do everything except receive texts.
So then I contacted Red Pocket. I wasn't expecting much but I let them know clearly that I could do everything except receive texts. I said I just needed the CDMA_LESS feature added. She said my iPhone SE was showing as active so she updated my IMEI on my account and then added the feature. So after restarting my device all is up and running!

Nice! I gave up 5 months ago trying to get the CDMA_LESS added by Red Pocket & switched to their 'AT&T' sim. Not as good as the VZW service, but at least I got texts. Maybe I'll try & switch back...
Thanks for letting us know its possible. Question When you activated the sim on the verison unlocked iphone. Did you enter the activation info again about sim and IMEI of the iphone. Or did you just pop in the sim and made the setup 1st call.
I just tried with a pixel 3 unlocked and I still cant get past activating the sim when I press 1 for English.
So any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd like to know the answer. Failed to activate with a Oneplus 6T after 20 chats with CS. They said they activated cdma less but I still can't press 1 to activate. I also tried with my friend's iphone and it didn't work either. I now wonder if I need the cdma less deactivated to succeed activate with an iphone...
