Sorry to be posting as soon as I registered, but I'm in a hurry to get this done with or else I might get into a fight with the guy who sold me the Nexus One (he claimed its unlocked)...
Anyway I bought the phone, put in my sim-card, tried installing my contacts from the SIM and it Locks.
I use any other SIM card and it works, mine doesn't...However I unlock the phone using the steps provided in the forum...Now I can install any SIM on it without any issues EXCEPT for MY sim-card which had already been locked...
I tried getting a new SIM from my provider with the same phone number but i get the same result - locked...
What do you guys suggest I do?
I would really appreciate any help guys...
Thanks a lot in advance
I thought the Nexus One is sold unlocked. You are using a GSM sim, right?
Yeah - But i guess the guy who sold it to the store had already bought it with a contract from T-Mobile ...
Yeah im using GSM sim...
He could have bought it with a contract from (insert chosen deity here) and it wouldn't make a difference. The Nexus One is SIM free no matter where you get it.
Are the SIM you've tried that work on a different network to you? Perhaps your network has blocked it's IMEI after being lost/stolen/part of an insurance claim.

I tried other sims from the same network as mine and they all work except for mine! very weird...ughhh
Old crap sim probably, not all sim cards are made alike, even though they look like it. Ask your provider for a new sim.
Do I need a "4G sim card" to get 4G speeds or no? My current sim card is probably 1 to 2 years old. Thanks.
(I know the new sim cards have a skinnier gold contact area).

Yes, you do in fact need to use the new '4G' SIM card.
I have an extra sim laying around that has the skinny gold contacts. Is that for sure a 4G sim or not necessarily? Thanks.

Not necessarily. The MT4G came with one in the box. I suggest you use that one or go to a T-Mo store and get a new one.
I don't understand this. Why would you need a new sim card? I have my old sim card and get "4g" speeds.
The new SIM cards help decide how your phone communicates with the network.
The older generation of SIM cards have a limited capacity to connect to the 4G network. They can only connect a couple thousand times and then they will stop. You'll be able to make and receive calls and text, but Data usually stops working. You will need to replace the SIM card with a new ones that has the ability to connect to data at a higher frequency rate than the old SIM. T-Mobile started to release these newer SIMs almost a year ago, so you may be using a newer one. If you want to know if the SIM card you are currently using is 4G compatible, call into Tech Care. They can tell which kinds of SIM cards are old and new.
Again, I would recommend using the one that shipped with your MT4G.

This is correct.

I am still using the original SIM from when I opened my T-Mo account (approx Jun 07; crappy free flip phone). I get 4G data speeds fine (see my sig image). Did not swap SIM to use this phone.

Should be the same process that you use for other Sprint phones. I believe you guys have to call Sprint and move your sim to activate. Read up on Nexus 6 activation. It should be the same.

The best and quickest way to do this would be to take the phone to the store once you get it, let them enter the imei, etc. into the system, and once it activates (and it will, since your sim will already be in the phone...), that will be that.

I don't know about this device specifically, but I'm on AT&T and I've swapped devices by simply switching the SIM. Never had an issue with this.
ATT as well and can agree just popping in a existing sim no activation needed. Bought a micro to nano cutter to be ready for when my MXP get here.
I just did a chat with sprint asked for a nano sim they asked what phone told them they said no problem so it looks like this wont be to bad

Yeah you'll need a compatible SIM and you'll still have to get in touch with sprint to have them activate it to your line. I know for a fact the SIM that the iPhone uses won't work, the only compatible SIM that is currently in use on other Sprint models that will also work with the X Pure is the SIM the HTC one M9 uses. Just go into a Sprint store when you get your X and they'll have one
Since the phone is just getting out there, it's not officially sold through Sprint (or Verizon), at this point, the trickle down info the online reps will have is going to vary, and different and confusing things can happen. The simplest way for CDMA customers to get going with this phone is to contact them, either by phone or in store, and activate whatever they need to on top of whatever you put into your phone from your existing one. Note: this phone uses a Nano, NOT a micro, sim card. This being the case, unless you want to buy a fitter, or feel comfortable cutting your sim card to fit, it would be best to just get a new one. GSM customers (like ATT & T-Mo) do not need to worry about any of this (aside from Band 12/wifi calling stuff, which is way more advanced than this thread, but I'll be looking into....QXDM, etc...), since the sim card being inserted for the first time will automatically download all of the pertinent information to get you going .
I ordered a Sim cutter so I can just use my G4 Sim. Verizon is notorious for not giving Sims for devices they don't sell.

Why wouldn't your iPhone sim work? I have a Verizon iPhone, and swap my sim with all kinds of android devices nearly every day. There has never been a problem. They use the exact same sim card. In fact, it is already a nano-sim as well so it would fit perfectly in the MXP.

Let me start by saying I'm a technician at a Sprint store, yes that works on Verizon and any GSM carrier but with Sprint the SIM card doesn't carry your mobile subscriber identity it just allows the phone access to our 4G LTE network. So yes the X pure takes a nano SIM, same size as the iPhone but we have many different SIM card SKUs for all our 4G phones and ones that work with some are not compatible to work with other phones. As I already said the only phone currently on the sprint network that uses the same nano SIM that will also work with the X pure is the HTC One m9 SIM but even if you aren't coming from the m9 you can just go into a sprint store and pick up the specific SIM we have tons of all SIMs in stock in the back for these specific reasons

Thanks for this, im on the same page with the other friend on Verizon you only need to switch sim cards, no with your information, I only going to need to Sprint store and ask for sim card for HTC M9 and also tell them that i need it active and pupin my MPE and after then the phone should work, or I need to provide de imeid or esn?

You'll need to provide them the ESN, they'll activate it to your line and also activate the SIM to the phone at the same time and pop it in the phone, they should know what SIM to use it was already mentioned in our introduction material provided to us, if the rep seems like they have no idea just mention it's the same SIM the m9 uses

Good to know, I was wondering about this myself as I currently have the Nexus 6 on Sprint. When I do receive it, I'll just pop in at Sprint and get a SIM and let them do their thing. Appreciate it!
Edit: Would you by any chance know if Sprint will support VoLTE with the Pure? (In the select markets that it's available?)

Wait, so, the Moto X uses a nano? Google tells me that is what my HTC One M8 has. So I just swap the sim card and I'm good to go?
First time getting a phone that isn't through Verizon so I'm inexperienced in this kind of thing

Hi guys, I just bought used sprint 306sh and trying to use it with Ringplus, but the phone came without sim card. As I know Sprint has hundreds different sim cards for different phones, just try to buy the correct one and avoid losing money, can anybody tell me that which model of sim card is using on your 306sh?
Thanks a lot.
been on Sprint and Tello with this sim
Hey, i've had the Aquos on Sprint and now Tello with
the same sim card, a GLW406R, but it seems the price
any MVNO offers on its sims to work with their service
may be lower than you can buy it for ....?
I went thru activation, this sim worked on both, no problems.
(USA)
Have official sprint sim
Uses a "nano" sized sim if thats what you mean. I still have the actual card so if you need a serial number or something let me know.
I arrived from the store with my new Oneplus 6T tonight. On the screen it says, "Finish setting up you Oneplus A6013". I decided to look up the A6013 to see what is the difference between the tmobile one and the global one. I discovered that the A6013 is sold as the unlocked global version from the Oneplus site.
The other version is the A6010. From what I gather this is the version sold in the Asian market with a couple of different bands available only in Asia.
It seems only difference is that Tmobile changed the software to cater to their network and lock out second sim capabilities. Can anyone verify this?
There is no difference. That is the way OnePlus has always done it. I have had Chinese OP's with HOS and loaded OOS on it and there were no problems. Right now, I purchased the TMO variant and flashed the International version on it with zero problems.

Have you tried two sims in at once? I see people saying two sim slots show up after flashing, but haven't read of anyone putting in two sims with service.
Are both of your sim slots showing the same IMEI?
They say they get two sims and one IMEI. So that would make it dual sim standby. I guess the ones straight from the Oneplus site have two IMEI and are dual sim dual standby

When I said there is no difference, I meant it. The phone is identical. The only difference is the SIM tray itself. The TMO variant only has one open slot vs the two on the International version. But yes, when flashed two IMEIs show up. There are plenty of other threads/discussions on this page that address this. You should do a search first. Your question would have been answered before you even asked it. This phone has been out since November; all these questions have been asked and answered many times before.
