I am outside of the US. I bought a SIM card of AT&T on eBay but I couldn't activate it.
Would someone know how I can activate it, or could someone activate it for me?
And given the case of being able to activate the sim could I update my LG V20 despite not being in an AT&T network?
Thanks and I apologize for this stupid question

Try typing your question in the thread, not as the thread topic...
If I was to order s att lte sim card and when they ask for a imei no. If I was to give them one from a regular att prepaid non smartphone could they tell that the phone wasnt a smartphone and if I could get by that if I got the prepaid $50 unlimited everything monthly you think that I could take that prepaid sim card and put it in a smartphone and get unlimited Lte data.Does anyone think this could possibly work. Thanks

I have a dead TMO & ATT SIM you can have, PM me...
As the title suggests, I am talking to a guy who has a t-mobile nexus 4 that he is currently using on t-mobile.
I wanted to buy it but he said I would have to take it to a store to get it unlocked to work on AT&T. Is that true? Or can I just pop in my AT&T sim card and be good to go?
Thanks!

Yeah, it comes factory unlocked. Pop in an AT&T micro SIM, adjust APN settings accordingly and he should be good to go!
+1 on above post.
theres no such thing as a "t-mobile" nexus 4 , t-mobile just sells it, its the exact same nexus 4 you can buy from the google play store.
just pop your sim in and youll be fine. it comes factory unlocked already.
You can, but, I've read that the data speed is not as fast as it would be on T-Mobile. So just something to keep in mind.
Check the bands for speed reference and its only LTE that operates on a different band for AT&T so you won't be able finger that. Other than that you will be OK.
So i was wondering if Att will unlock my phone for me? What is the best way to unlock? I plan to travel overseas. And i heard you need another sim to unlock, but does it have to be working? Or can i use a dead tmobile sim?

This is in the wrong thread. It should be in Q/A. Unless your plan is up, AT&T won't probably won't unlock it.

I am traveling to Israel and want to buy a local (Orange network) SIM card to use in my Sprint Galaxy S4. What settings, etc. do I need to change; what do I need to do other than inserting the new SIM card?
There's a guide for international unlock. Search before posting please.

I do believe you, but doesn't Sprint claim they can unlock it and then you just insert the SIM card?
You need to.have sprint for 90 days and have good standing. Means up to date with your bills and no problems. Their unlock doesn't work 100% of the time.

I've had Sprint for years and everything is 100% up to date.
Is it worthy trying their unlock first? How can I tell if it works or not? And then if not, go through this procedure?
Sorry to sound ignorant, but I am.

Call the international department and tell them you plan to go to Europe soon so you need to unlock the phone. They will send a update to your phone. You can check by setting a international Sim or even an ATT or Tmobile Sim into the phone. If it shows "no sim inserted" then it was not correctly unlocked.

Thank you. I will call them. Do you mean that I can insert the international Sim and even though it won't work in the US, I'll be able to tell that the unlock worked?

You mean Asia,not Europe
One additional question for you patient souls: once I've got it all unlocked with (hopefully) the sim working correctly, can I just leave the sim in the phone and switch between the CDMA & GSM modes or do I need to actually remove it when I return to the US and back to Sprint service?

The Sprint sim is required to receive LTE so yes, you must put the Sprint sim back in and reset your APNs for Sprint.

Thanks. I've been doing a lot of reading about the Spring S4 with international Sim and see a lot about needing to manually edit APNS to get data and that one needs to be rooted to do that. Is that so? I am not rooted.
There are apps in the play store that can add the APNs for you automatically. Not sure if you need to be rooted to use them though. Search the play store for APN apps and the descriptions will tell you if they require root or not.
Hello and happy new year to the great dev's and everybody who made this forum a success.
I wanted to know if we're going to see any sim unlock for the sprint galaxy s7 edge for international use?
I know this is no big deal to the great developers here but as we know this phone has its boot loader locked. Or is it possible to sim unlock without unlocking the boot?
There was a guy in here who was offering the unlock domestic and international. He was asking for 11 dollars. I did it it works great. Tried an At&t sim on my Sprint S7E worked like a charm. Search you should find him. He has you contact him via Skype and walks you through it.

I tried the solution from idoneapps.com. Seems to have worked...I can put an AT&T GoPhone sim and it is recognized. I haven't activated the sim, though, so it doesn't connect to anything yet.

According to the info on their website, idoneapps can global unlock SIM without root...it just needs root to do other features. After performing the unlock, I can insert an AT&T sim and it is recognized, so I assume that it worked...
