Prepaid SIM cards Question

I have a couple unlocked rooted phones that I have tried to put prepaid SIM cards in. A Net10 SIM and a tracphone SIM into and neither work for some reason. I have an HTC Magic (T-Mobile MyTouch 3G) and a LG P999 (T-Mobile G2X) both with CyanogenMod 7. Both SIM unlocked by requesting unlock codes from T-Mobile. Both phones boot with both SIM cards, but have no service. If you put the sim into the corresponding tracphone or net10 phone they came with though, they have service. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. I have a few friends with prepaid phones and have extra unlocked rooted phones I can give them if I can get them to work with the prepaid SIM's. Thanks. Dave

Tracfone is weird. I have never heard of anyone using a tracfone sim in another phone. I've tried.

Anyone have any experience with net10? I would really appreciate any intel that would help me get either the tracphone or net10 sim working my magic. Thanks Dave

Switching GoPhone SIM from Note 3 to Note 4 doesn't work

I have a an unlocked Note 3 that runs on a GoPhone SIM card. I'm planning to buy a Note 4 but my current SIM card didn't work in Note 4. None of the GoPhone SIM cards at a local AT&T store worked on the Note 4. The AT&T rep had all the settings in.
Is this a common problem and how to solve it? Thanks a lot!
Edit: I called AT&T's GoPhone service and they helped with some settings which fixed the issue. Lesson learned, not to believe the AT&T reps who said they did everything they could, including the settings.

Anyone?

straightalk users, help please

I have been on pageplus since they take the verizon phones but the data speed is very slow. I got better results with straighttalk wireless here but i didnt realize until lately that they now have a verizon 4glte sim card that is supposed to work in our smn900v. I checked the byop page and it sure enough says that my smn900v is compatible with the byop service plans. woohoo , so my question is: Has any of you with the smn900v used the straighttalk verizon 4glte sims yet and if so, do they seem to work good for you, thanks

I am a straight talk user and am using the Verizon sim and have no issues with my Note 3 at all. The data speed is great and works just like it would on any other carrier.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the question and feedback, I'm looking to go to StraightTalk as well...

Thanks so much.

Glad to be of help. Enjoy!

I am also a Note 3 (verizon) user on straight talk use 4glte sim and I can verify that the straight talk service is on par with original verizon service. Maybe a little speed difference but barely noticeable.

LTE on AT&T

Anyone having an issue getting LTE on AT&T?
Just curious - I remember having weird issues with devices that aren't sold by AT&T are limited to H signals only. Was hoping I didn't have to get on a live chat with them again to switch to an approved IMEI for LTE.
Thanks!! Looking forward to my 6P

No issues on AT&T. In fact my DB is about -5 better than with my OPO which had pretty darn good signal.

No problems where I am, picking up band 17 and band 2 just like I was on my s6 active.

no problems here. i feel like i get even better LTE coverage than i did with my old Nexus 5 and Micro SIM card - which was already stellar. maybe try a fresh new Nano SIM Card and make sure they have your new N6P IMEI on your account in their system associated with the fresh Nano SIM Card.

Phew! Glad to hear it all Thanks!

I've had no issues.. I actually went from my At&t HTC One M9 to a Moto X Pure Edition, then a OnePlus2 and now the N6P..... I have great reception and no issues with anything.

No issues here whatsoever either, just used a sim cutter I had earlier to cut down the sim from my note 4. Popped it in and good to go.

No problems going from an AT&T Samsung GS4 to a 2014 Moto X Pure Edition to the Nexus 6P. But, my mom got a 5X as her first smart phone and I had to chat with AT&T to have her line provisioned for LTE. They just needed the IMEI of the 5X and in just a few minutes, she had LTE.

My experience with Verizon LTE/Signal issues

The verizon signal on my ph-1 was not the best. I would often have to manually choose LTE only to have the phone get LTE, choosing LTE cdma/evdo would keep the phone on 1x/3g. I attributed this to possible software and hardware issues with the phone itself as I saw many other Verizon users with similar complaints. I recently purchased an iPhone and, to my surprise, the phone would not get LTE with the same sim. The sim I'm using originally came in a pixel but has since worked in an a g6, s8, and note 8 with no issue. I called Verizon and he said he had to configure my sim to the iPhone x, afterwards I got perfect LTE signal. I then put the sim back in my ph-1 and I also get perfect signal. Just thought I would share, maybe this will help someone....
