Hey guys,
My girlfriend bought a s710, and is on the UK Three network.
The phone is meant to be SIM free, and works fine with my Orange SIM card in, but not her Three SIM card. It says the card in not valid.
Any ideas? Is the s710 not capable of using the SIM card?
htc-s710
if the unit is branded htc then its sim free 100 %
if its branded orange spv e650 then its locked to orange uk
and then ur job will to ask orange uk for unlock code or to unlock it via http://www.imei-check.co.uk/e650unlock.php
gd luck
Cheers Motin.
It's branded HTC, bought from www.handtec.co.uk as a SIM free, but still refuses to accept her SIM card at all.
htc-s710
u should make sure all sim cards are clean from scratch
if they are u r off to send it back to htc for replace there should not be any problem with the unit and it should except any sim card
thanks
I don't know but I thought three was only a 3G operator? And the S710 is not a 3G phone. could that not be the problem?
htc-s710
i can only confirm to you i am using an orang 3g sim card on my htc -s710 and i have now tried 2 more sim cards that are 2.5 generation and all working 100 %
thanks
Yes but if it is as I think that tree only has a 3G network the phone won't work there since it is not supporting 3G?
htc - s710
now i fully understand you
my dear the 3 network is only 3g so any sim from 3 network will work only on a 3g phone !!!
thanks
I friend offered me the opportunity to buy an HTC Arrive/7 Pro for a very attractive price, without contract, naturally.
Now, I love WP7, and I like my T-Mobile family plan (in the United States). Unfortunately, I'm a totally newbie in the area of using phones on different carriers. From what I understand, I think it's possible to use an HTC Arrive with a T-Mobile sim card, and make calls, but you cannot modify/unlock it to get 3G support, which I do kind of need.
Am I correct? Or am I way off? It'd be great if I could get it working, complete with 3G, with a little work, on the T-Mobile network, but it's just as possible that I couldn't even make basic calls.
3G worked fine (here in Europe) on tested HTC 7 Pro...
if you want use different mobile carriers, your device must be SIM free (SIM unlocked)
So, it would be possible to use my T-Mobile 3G, provided the phone was unlocked?
I've always been a bit fuzzy on the distinction between a normal non-contract phone, and one that is actually unlocked. I do know, of course, that unlocked phones go for a much steeper price then their locked counterparts...I've seen some websites detailing instructions how to do this, allegedly, is this something I could do myself to a non-contract phone (albiet with paying for a code)?
Phone must be unlock (no branding and no simlock). You nothng write about simlock that phone. When device not have simlock you can use everything simcard and everything frequency, but I don't know how work T-Mobile in your country (not from where you wrote) maybe operator locking 3G but i don't think. You must plug in sim card to phone and check that.
Ah, I'm starting to understand, I think. The HTC 7 Pro is, unlike a lot of Sprint's phones, GSM, HSDPA, WiFi, CDMA compatible--T-Mobile's phones are all GSM. I'm in the USA myself.
However, I can't say anything about frequencieis or anything like that. Has anyone ever tried? If not, I may have to just break down and try on the phone first (with an unlocking code).
I'm not sure but I think that HTC 7 Pro and HTC Arrive is the same only difference to Arrive not supported pre-NoDo. You must try plug in sim card and you learn.
On the page HTC specifications wrote that 7 Pro and Arrive frequency is the same:
Network
AT&T:
HSDPA/WCDMA: 850/1900/2100 MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
Telus:
HSPA/WCDMA: 850/1900/2100 MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

You must try.
Thank you, I think my only option will be to try.
I was able to find some information on T-Mobile's frequencies, but not Sprint's, at the moment.
I'll be able to return the phone, so the cost would be, potentially, the cost for the unlock code (assuming HTC won't give me one for free). I may have to try this out myself.
Sprint is CDMA and the Arrive doesn't have a SIM card (I have the Arrive and know this for a fact). You won't be able to use it on T-Mobile or AT&T.

I was about to say this, but I'll add my hat to the ring and also say there is no SIM card slot on the 7 Pro (Like there was on the TP2).
Though I wish there was. It makes the Photon look really compelling. :/
Really? That's extremely strange, there's a thread on this site showing how to access the SIM card slot and MicroSD slot.

Maybe this is only for HTC 7 Pros outside the US, which are not CMDA?

The guy who made that thread is from Prague, to that's probably the Euro version of the 7 Pro. Europe is mostly GSM. So if you got the unlocked Euro version, it would work on T-Mob, but only EDGE data, not 3G/4G. T-Mobile uses an oddball 3G frequency (UMTS 1700/2100 MHz, also called Band IV), that is not shared by many other networks in the world.

Hello all
i have a verizon 3g xoom. it's not upgraded yet. i live outside us
about the UK 3g xoom, can it operate 2g sim card? for sms, gprs or ...
how about normal 3g sim cards?
is there any hardware difference between mine and uk one?
may i operate my 2g sim card on my xoom? how about 3g?
when i put sim card nothing happen. i just tried 2g sim card
our 3g operator is not started selling sim cards ... but we have 4g operator.
if i install uk xoom's rom on my own, can i use sim card?
is there any mini pci-e card that i can use my sim card with it? (self upgrade xoom with custom mini-pci-e)
please help me. i need some information. i'm confused.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263634
how about this thread? i've done that but dont work for me. there is no signal, i think it didnt recognized my sim card.
if i install the mini-pci-e card that motorola installs on xoom during upgrade, can i use sim card for 2g/3g ? (sms or internet)
i have found this : "If you bought your Xoom from Verizon, it will have no SIM card slot. Verizon's CDMA network doesn't use SIM cards. Also, if you bought the Verizom model, it will only work on Verizon, and not another carrier. There is also a WiFi-Only Xoom, and it does not have a SIM slot."
here : "http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/53440/Why+I+can%27t+find+3G+SIM+Slot+in+my+Motorola+Xoom"
but mine have sim slot with a plastic sim on it.
The Verizon 3G Xoom does have a sim card slot but no hardware inside to read the sim card. That is what the 4G upgrade was for, to install the hardware necessary to utilize the sim card for the Verizon 4G LTE network.
I don't know if anyone has gotten a Verizon Xoom working on any other carriers network.
Theres pix of the inside of my Uk3g Zoom somewhere...

Are you sure your SIM card compatible with 4G (older card maybe not working)?
Try in other 4G compatible phone, if not working need to change to one new!

It's normal that the options are grey, if you only insert one SIM card to Slot 1. Then slot 2 can be uses for the external SD Card.
Slot 1 is configurated to all types. GSM, UMTS, 4G( LTE).
If you turn data on and you are not logged into a WLAN a icon will show for example E (edge) if you have a slow net.
If you are in the near of a LTE transmitter of your provider and you contract allows to use 4G, you would see a 4G icon.
Maybe you have disabled LTE: go to settings Mehr ,Moblifunknetz, Bevorzugter Netzwerktyp and Lselect GSM/WCDMA/LTE
Maybe the entry below "Betreiber" is wrog, or the ADB settings (Zugangspunkte)
Hello,
I'm totaly stupid.....I have tested a lot without success.
After some thinking I found in internet that vodofone dont have a contract with 1and1 for 4g. I checked my contract and remember that I did not have a 4g contract.
So the mediapad x2 should receive it, but I do not have a contract for it.
