I had a Bell LG Quantum, but always had my heart set on a Focus. Now i have one and am having some issues with the profile setting on the bell network.
If someone won't mind, could you please either take a photo(preferred, more info) or post info from the following:
1.Go to the phone app
2.Dial ##634# and click Send
3.When prompted for a password type 277634#*#
4.You should now be at "Factory Menu"
5.Choose "Engineer Menu"
6.Choose "Other Setting"
7.Choose "view current profile"
In particular, i'm looking for which of the following APN is listed in the phone,
pda.bell.ca
or
inet.bell.ca
if you see either please let me know, and what it's listed beside,
Thanks so much.
from what I can read - what tiny print - it's referring to pda.bell.ca
it for sure pda.bell.ca just checked it now. I have a question, I bought this phone as an "unlocked" bell phone but I am a rogers customer. The phone functionality is working but I cannot get the data (3g) to work. What should I do, I assume I have to change this very setting. Please help!
Let me know if you need other information or the entire xml.
EDIT: I found a solution for making the Rogers data work.
Got into the above mentioned menu:
1) turned ADP on.
2) remove pda.bell.ca replaced it with internet.com
3g seems to work fine now !
However I don't get callerID from Bell customers anymore. Isn't that funny? What should I change to have caller id functional again?

Aha!! Someone else with the same problem! Finally!
I, too, have an unlocked Quantum, but mine's from AT&T and I have the same problem with inconsistent callerID's coming through. I'm pretty sure it's not a problem with your phone though, since I also have an HTC Surround unlocked from Telus (now on Rogers) that has the same problem. And it's nothing wrong with your SIM card, since I guarantee putting that SIM in another, non-WP7 phone will have your caller-id working perfectly.
I haven't found any 'setting' to get this working, and as I say, it's inconsistent, with some landline phones working -- some not, some cell phones working -- most not. I'm still trying to chase this one down.
I think the call display function has something to do with name display. I believe I remember reading this in another thread somewhere.
I don't have name display on my account and I have 0 issues with caller ID
I'm using an unlocked AT&T Quantum.

Hmmmm, interesting.. I'll have to check on my account and see if I have Name Display.
When someone calls you, what do you see? Just the number of the caller?
Thanks.
If I don't have the number saved it shows the number.
By the way has anyone gotten mms to work?
I've tried googling and searching xda but can't seem to get it to work.

My unlocked AT&T Quantum phone only uses 3G with Rogers and my sms times when received are always coming in with the incorrect time. I looked at the Bell unlocked Quantum and it has a different model# and firmware version, which makes me frustrated seeing as my friend's works fine with everything. What's the point of an unlocked phone if it can't use HSPA on another network? Is it possible to flash the phone to the Bell's firmware? I feel defeated
Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction here. First off, I am an AT&T customer who is trying to get the DVP to work on their network. I bought an unlock code off of ebay (which seemed to work), but I cannot make/receive any phone calls. I can get Edge to work just fine and can make and receive text messages but all of my phone end almost as soon as I start them. And if I try to call the phone from my land line its immediately directed to voicemail.
On a side note, I have tried multiple AT&T sim cards and all have the same result. I also tried a co-workers tmobile sim and everything worked like a charm, so I know the phone isn't broken.
Any suggestions?

Can you try turning off 3G if its available as a option?
3G is an option but turning it on/off makes no difference on the phone side of things.
Could the unlock code that I received cause an issue like this? Is there anything in the EM app that could assist in what is going wrong? It makes no sense to me that I can send/receive text messages but I can't make phone calls.
Can u rest the phone and see if it helps?. Also try manually selecting the network.
The reset doesn't seem to help unfortunately. How do you go about manually selecting a network on the DVP? Is that in the EM app?

No, it should be as a option in the settings->cellular.
Does it even show the network that the device is current on?
It does show its on AT&T, but there is no option to change it I can see. I also configured the APN at the bottom to wap.cingular, but that didn't fix the phone issue.
BTW, appreciate your help on this! I am willing to try anything at this point.
Well, APN has nothing to do with Phone call. I think its just for text messages.
Ok..Here is how you do manual selection using AT command. Do this only if you are comfortable and don't blame me for any screw-up
Go to EM App->Protocol(password 6336#)->TMO->AT Command
No click the input field and type the following(at is automatically populated).
Manually search for the network:
AT+COPS=?
The above command will list all the available network. Once you do that, take a clear pic or write it down exactly and post it here. I will then give the formatted command to register it manually.
APN is for wireless internet access.

I'm a coworker of the OP and here's what we got when we entered that command (formatted as it appears in the window):
+COPS:
(2,"Cingular","Cingular","310410",0),
(1,"Voicestream
Wire","VSTREAM","310260",2),
(1,"Voicestream

OK

Here is the formatted command(for ATT Sim Cards):
AT+COPS=1,2,"310410"
Let me know what is the output and if it succeeds.
To be honest, I didn't even know that this was possible for the DVP yet. I've asked for unlock codes from T-Mobile every month that I've had the device (first attempt January 7th) to no avail.

Entered this in and it returned OK.
It did not enable us to make/receive calls though. It still acts like it's going to dial and just ends abruptly, and calls made to the phone still go straight to voicemail.
Also, just for fun I tried dialing using ATDT and a number and it returned NO CARRIER. Not sure if that will help narrow this down or anything.

I am facing the same issue. Using Unlocked Dell Venue Pro in India - worked wonderfully for a week, and then stopped making calls. my Problem is different. i can receive calls, send receive SMS and browse the internet (on 3G )as well. But Cant make outgoing calls.
Out of curiosity, those that have problems -
1. did u unlock using the AT command?
2. After unlocking, did u change/try changing sim cards (even if its from the same carrier)?

First off, thanks again for your help on this.
1. The unlock code was purchased from some website and when the AT&T SIM was inserted, it prompted for a code. So no, did not originally use the AT command. Is there a way to relock and try this process again?
2. Yeah, we tried a few different AT&T sim cards with the same result. We tried another T-Mobile sim and that worked perfectly.
Hello XDA, I have been trying to find the best phone for the money and I finally found it!
I have the following:
Galaxy Note 3 Model number: SM-N900V
Baseband version: N900VVRUEOB6
I know how to get my IMEI and other information if needed.
I have a fido account that I want to use with this phone, I checked network compatibility between the phone's specs:
(searched phone on gsmarena)
and I compared it to Fido's network specs:
(searched Unlocking on Fido's website)
It seems the networks are compatible, which is great. The error I get when I attempt to use the phone is this:
"SIM card is not from Verizon" notification pops up,
I'm really trying not to waste people's time helping me with this, but this is my first time with this device and I could really use help making sure this is unlocked. I bought the phone here:
(amazon . ca website searched note 3, went to cellcow seller got phone for 230$ advertised as "unlocked")
They claimed the phone was unlocked....
The calling function and texting works fine with my Fido SIM
I cannot use any data from the Fido SIM.
I've emailed the seller, and I'm trying to speak with them to get it working, I checked another forum which said to enter a string of digits into the dialer to unlock the phone, which didn't work. What do you suggest I do to try and get the data functioning properly on the phone?
unfortunately I'm a new user and cannot upload photos or put urls or anything but I can answer as many questions as needed

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:
https://bestmvno.com/apn-settings/red-pocket-mobile-apn-settings/
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...
