Didn't get a SIM card with new Verizon account

Hi,
I just changed from Cingular to Verizon. I'm about to unlock my 8125 so that I can use it with Verizon but my new Verizon phone (LG VX5300) doesn't have a SIM card.
Is that just because it's a cheap phone or because Verizon doesn't use SIM cards?
If Verizon does use SIM cards, do I have to get one from them? What are my options?
TIA

Verizon is a CDMA provider and they do not use SIM cards...to get it activated on the Verizon network you need to call up Verizon directly and they will help you through the activation process
Also you cannot use your 8125 on Verizon as that is a GSM phone (different techs)...the closest thing that you can use on the Verizon network that resembles the 8125 is their 6700 (XV6700) or whatever they call it (its the Apache)
i hope this answers your question Ken

no sim
Sprint, Verizon, Alltel, US Cellular, and any other CDMA company don't have sim cards. Only the GSM Carriers have them. The VX-6700 (HTC Magician) is the CDMA version of the wizard.

Verizon is CDMA, not GSM. CDMA doesn't use SIMs -- not that it matters since your GSM 8125 won't work on the Verizon CDMA network. Verizon offers the XV6700, which is basically a CDMA version of the 8125.

The 6700 is the Apache which is the CDMA variant of the wizard. Also the 6700 has a faster processor (416mhz) and faster wireless connectivity (1xEVDO/1xRTT which is equivalent to 3G)

Your phone will be useless once you switch to Verizon.

lol @ this thread
good stuff here

wanna sell your 8125 really cheap? lol

lol this is what happens when mommy and daddy give kids credit cards.. they buy expensive toys and dont know what they r all about ill give u 50$ for ur 8125 lol

I hope you haven't passed your exchange policy yet...so you can either get the Apache, or refund.
Or sell your 8125.
So why did you switch to Verizon anyways? I prefer Cingular over Verizon any day...but that's my humble opinion.

CDMA/GSM triband phone on Verizon
So I am looking at the Nokia N71, which says it's CDMA and GSM compatible. I therefore assume that, since Verizon is CDMA, they must provide a sim card for such phones, or no? If not, then how do their dual band phones work? Is there only a sim card for the GSM networks, and then for the domestic Verizon CDMA network their global phones use something other than a sim card??
Totally confused.

Any has issue with Verizon only picking up 3G

I made sure the the network setting is set to Global but the phone only picks up 3G. As soon as I use the SIM in other Android phones, I can get to Verizon LTE with no issue.

I am not having any issues at all. I am almost always on LTE.

Then again, I am using the prepaid carrier Total Wireless. They run off of the Verizon network though. I previously had this phone on Straight Talk and also had no issue with getting LTE on the Verizon network.
EDIT: Are your APN settings correct?

do you need to update the PRL? or dial *228?

I was told by vzw *228 no longer work on 4G LTE phone. I've tried difference SIM cards from different accounts. Same issue only 3G.
APN settings are correct. Factory reset the phone as well.

Do the sim cards get lte on different phones?

I was showing my buddy my Moto G4 and we put his Verizon nano sim in the phone and we got 4G right away

I haven't had any issues getting 4g in Central New York I took the sim from my s4 and it worked great

could be an account provisioning issue and not phone related

I am also having this issue with a Verizon sim on my G4. 4g/LTE works with no issue if i put the sim in my iPhone 6 Plus. I also get LTE on the G4 if i use a T-Mobile sim. With the lack of being able to unlock the bootloader now I'm thinking I should just return the phone and forget I even tried.

Try going into network settings and changing your apn. That's what I had to do after flashing slim rom 6.

Never mind I figured out what the issue was.
I entered into the Testing Menu Dial ---- *#*#4636#*#* -----
-----Phone Information----
Set preferred network type to ----LTE/CDMA auto (PRL)----
After playing around in this menu it changed over to LTE no problem.
Granted I spent around an hour changing between different options for the preferred network type.

Compatible Networks as of May 2017?

Which carriers willingly activate Axon 7 phones on their networks for customers? I've read that it's possible for most any carrier and there are success stories for Verizon and Sprint, but Verizon's website will not verify the device ID and Sprint told me in person at a store yesterday that they can't activate the Axon 7. Currently I'm on MetroPCS but would like to know what other options I have. Thank you.

Well technically the phone has all the bands for every us carrier. Sprint is probably a no go though. Verizon works if you already have an activated sim card as you can just put it in the phone and be good to go and you can use it on at&t & t-mobile without any issues. So if you're looking to leave MetroPCS / T-mobile you're best bet is at&t or Verizon although like I said before you need an already activated sim card on Verizon to put in the phone.

Other than the issue below, it seems to work just fine with a vzw activated sim.
Seeing strange characters from a user sending long texts from verizon. I use gv with no issues from this same person with their previous phone (vzw note 5). Only seems to happen when the sending a7 breaks the texts into multiple messages

A7 works on Verizon if you have an already-activated SIM card in a Verizon-approved device. Take SIM out of old phone, pop it into Axon 7, verify the APN, done. You cannot use the A7 to activate a new SIM though, as Verizon has an activation whitelist.
Sprint is a no-go, as Sprint whitelists what phones can be used on their network.
AT&T and T-Mobile (and -based providers) should work on the A7 fine.

Are you all able to use HD Voice & video calling with the native dialer on the Verizon network? Some phones have an option under settings called 'Advanced Calling'. This is where you can turn on HD Voice & Video Calling for Verizon.

SM-G981N - Single Sim & e-sim

Hi all,
I would have a question about single sim and e-sim.
Can we use Single Sim & e-sim simultaneously on Samsung S20 (SM-G981N)?
Really appreciate your answer.
Thanks.

I think esim needs your carriers csc, but i can be wrong..

Nope. Your phone needs to be dual sim to use 2 sims. If you activate esim on a single sim model, upon insertion of sim card, the esim gets deactivated, but you can manually switch it back to esim but the sim card will be switched off.

your country seems to do that because in my country, I never get this massage when turn off mobile data. Is your phone from Korea?

Yes it is. And I live in another country

As expected, I used to have Korea LG V50, everytime I turn off mobile data I get that massage, its annoying. Plus camera shutter cant be muted. Its SKT carrier LG V50.

Do you have any solutions?

US Carrier V0LTE Compatibility (please?)

These are really nice phones, but pretty sure I got to have LTE band 12 for the SIM to pass GSM carrier checks in US (Simplemobile, most all of 'em run under TMO)
The XT1562 has no band 12, XT1563 DOES have band 12 -

but, I found an odd reference saying it can't be activated in US ::
GSM Unlocked device is compatible with carriers like AT&T, T-Mobile, H20, Simple Mobile, Consumer Cellular, Metro PCS, Cricket, Straight Talk GSM, Tracfone GSM, Ting GSM, Project Fi GSM, and other prepaid carriers. The unlocked device will NOT work with CDMA Carriers like Verizon, Sprint, Boost Mobile, Xfinity Mobile, Virgin Mobile, Straight Talk CDMA, Tracfone CDMA, Total Wireless, Ting Wireless CDMA, Project Fi CDMA or U.S Cellular. CDMA carrier requires you to purchase their carrier branded device only. Even if the listing says GSM Unlocked it will not work with CDMA Carriers. REPUBLIC WIRELESS has hardware limitations and would only work on USA Version device and would not work on International Version devices. Please contact your service provider to check fully compatibility of the devices & the network they operate on. International Version devices are compatible with GSM carrier mentioned above but would appear as not compatible on carrier website. This is because only USA version devices are registered on their website, However we have tested and verified them to be working on GSM network.
Whole page explaining "Wont Activate"
There's lots of good Nougat ROM for this device... I can afford the ones I see, but would be useless if I can't active it it
Thanks Kindly
