Problem is, it requires Verizon SIM. AFAIK TMobile is not as strict as Verizon..

Te hone seems to be unlocked. Check your APN settings to see if they have ben set correctly. There are tons of tutorials available.
Make sure you have the correct apn

All of Verizon's lte phones are SIM unlocked.

Then perhaps if what you say is true, the OP got a bad device? Or the previous owner(if phone is not new) didn't properly remove their account from the phone and it will not reactivate. I'm at a loss then.
Perhaps the Verizon S5 doesn't support the bands for his carrier.

I would think it would still allow for GSM communications even though it's an unrecognized SIM.

He said he gets talk and text but no data. Its either the apn or compatability with the radios for data. My wife has the Verizon S5. She gets the unrecognized sim notification also but she has all the features working with a Tmobile sim, including 4gLTE data. I did go ahead and removed the setup wizard apk to permanently remove the notification.

You didn't do much of a search or you would have found other threads where this has been asked and answered.
The message comes from a Verizon setup app that makea no allowamce for the possibility that anyone would use a foreign SIM in a Verizon phone. Freeze or remove the app to supress the message.

I would run the Region unlock from the Market to get rid of that error message, I'm not 100% if it will make the I ternet work since I just tried an active at&t Simcard last night and it was the same case as your but without the error message you got
The same problem with my Kyocera Brigadier. Click.

With any SIM you put in that's not from Verizon, you will get this message, even if you do a region unlock. As others have stated it has to do with the Setup Wizard. The easiest fix is to freeze the Setup Wizard with Titanium Backup. It doesn't affect the phone's functionality at all. I wouldn't deleted it though. I've frozen mine and I can use any SIM without getting the annoying message.
This is a deterent that Verizon puts on their phones in hopes they won't be used on other carriers. They're factory unlocked.
I've noticed recently that the "add apn" button is gone in Mobile Networks on 4.4.4. You need to go to Network Operators and run a search. Hopefully the APN's will auto configure. If not, check to see if the "add apn" button is enabled. If it's not, you'll need to root the phone, buy APN Manager Pro, and install it as a system app. Then you can enter your APN settings.

Help
I had same issue that my samsung galaxy S3 was showing sim is from unknown source and was not detecting sim then i gone to mobile networks and changed network mode to global and then created access point for my local network ( just visit website of network you are using there you will find Apn setting for android for that network ) and after creating Apn just tick that apn and network internet will also start to work
This sim card is from an unknown source
Ok I had the same problem but I got the majority of it solved. With a few simple phone calls. OK if you already have service with the ability to make calls and text. But can't get any Internet service. All you have to do is call the metropcs provider or go to a store. And ask for the APN code. I chose to call first but every person that answered the phone had a real bad foreign accent. So I went to a store and they did everything for me. No questions asked I even kept my same sim card. Now if you can't make calls or text they will have to take the imei number from that phone and simply add it to there system with sim card. And your good to go. All you have to do is make one call.
unlocked nexus 4 . added radio to enable lte . using tmobile prepaid . been using this phone for approximatly 4 days . it says (cellular network settings ) preferred network type 4g (recommended ) click apns and i have epc.tmobile.com ,fast.tmobile.com , and now i have tracfone simple as option . i put the two tmobile ones there but not tracfone . trying to understand where this came from . first ever doing anything with my nexus 4 .
Sir ,
I am using Jio 4G sim card in my Note 4 , but if i change and insert any other oprater sim then its showing network but i cant make a call and send a massage or use Internet. I was inform to customer service then they told me that your have used Jio Sim so nothing any options to recover it. So please anybody please guide me properly . Help me please .
You can use any sim. When you change your jio sim, makeep sure that you have selected auto in network mode instead of lte only at the same time you have to select the correct apn in Internet settings. Jio sim will not lock lock your phone to that network. .. using jio on note 4, j7 2016, j2...without any issues
I have an OP2 OOS Version 3.5.6. My two sim slots are also filled up with two sims. So the Problem here is Only one of the Sim works at a time. Suppose if i keep the PREFERED SIM FOR MOBILE DATA as SIM 1 , the network of SIM 2 goes off and only SIM 1 is active.Vice versa . Please help me and as far as i remember i did not configure any unneccesary things. I am just noobin these stuff.TIA

In the SIM 1 the Network is JIO 4G and in the SIM 2 the network is Vodafone 4G. The country is INDIA
Same happens on lgv20 but it works fine on s7

You can't use two 4G SIMs at the same time.
The SIM not set as the primary (data) SIM can only connect to a 2G network.
It's always been like this on the OP2

I mean't to say that Vodafone is 4G enabled Sim. It is not mandatory that it should work only on 4G.
Whereas JIO is a Network Where 4G is Mandatory. BTW it was working fine for the past three months without any issue.
And I even tried Having Airtel as the 1st Sim and Vodafone as the 2nd sim (Vice Versa) it doesn't work..
I thought if i Factory Reset the phone the problem would be gone, but it didn't ! Probably i have to go to a Service Centre

If your JIO SIM is the primary SIM and Vodafone have a 2G network in your location, the second SIM should be able to connect too.
If it doesn't, something isn't right.

Hope Going to the Service Center Should solve my Issue.
Hi all
I'm running Pure Nexus with an Israeli provider (Golan) that provides free roaming + data in many countries.
Phone works perfectly in Israel and the US, but has problems in Europe.
On any other phone, I can solve these problems by enabling roaming in SIM toolkit.
The 6p doesn't have SIM toolkit (it has it in the system apps, but you can't open it).
Nothing I do adds SIM toolkit to the avaialble apps.
Other android phones have SIM and Network settings where you can change the settings, but the 6p doesn't (also tried reverting back to stock).
I can't register on ANY network outside of Israel / US, although once in a while it will work (it worked in Germany, but didn't work in Holland and Turkey, go figure...).
I can't downgrade at all to 3g / 2g (it won't even find any cellular networks). When trying to connect manually to networks it will immediately show me a "network unavailable" alert.
I really love this phone, but this issue is driving me nuts, as I travel quite often..
Any help appreciated

Is your device the International model (H1512)? Did you enable data roaming under System>>More>>Cellular Networks ? Lastly, dial " *#*#4636#*#* " and see if there are any toggles under Phone Info that will help you.
