Money is tight, phone broke, bought a T-Mobile Dash off Craig's list. I am a T-Mobile Customer. Tried my sim card in it before I bought it - made a call - no problem. Got home (8 miles away) and couldn't make any calls - dropped before connecting. Hard reset . Searching, searching, searching. No bars. Tried husband's sim card - same thing. D/led manual to be sure sim card was properly seated. It was. Called, texted, emailed seller. No reply. Reset phone to manufacture's settings. Same issue. Switched Sim cards back and forth, back and forth. Was able to make one call for 10 seconds and then call dropped - no service.
Next day: opened case, wiggled battery, wiggled sim card, finally got some bars. Made a call successfully. Second call - call dropped as soon as connected. Third call - Call dropped before connected. Now it still shows bars but will not make call or send text. Everything else works - contacts, games, checked settings, Wi Fi works, no obvious damage, nice display, nice keyboard, all buttons work. Can do anything except make / receive calls or texts.
Now I'm out my money and still have no phone. Is there anyone out there with any ideas? Please Please help. Somebody, Anybody??
Have you considered a hard reset?

Good luck,
Yes, I did that right away. Sorry I forgot to mention it.
... actually you did mention it...
May not be anything, but how "old" is your SIM? Have you called T-Mobile to see if they can see your phone w/SIM on the network?

Maybe you should flash another Radio !
But since the WiFi works maybe its not related to Radio.
You could try.
By the way it is new or used ?
Maybe you should just go back to the seller And sue him for selling you phone which is not working to its full capacity !
So I bought a Note 4 from someone from craigslist and checked the IMEI on T-Mobile's site and it checked out as OK. I went straight to T-Mobile and activated the phone and they even ran the IMEI there too because I told them I bought it off craigslist and they offered me insurance. So I have been using the phone for over a month and I ended up cracking the screen but it still worked and the next day my phone started saying "No Network" and when I called T-Mobile they told me the phone was blocked by them due to non-payment.
So I have a few questions.
If the IMEI checks out on a phone and then they stop making payments a month later how are you suppose to buy a used phone safely?
If I make an insurance claim and they send me a new phone, will that phone be black listed also?

Within the past 2 weeks my phone had been dropping calls or not being able to receive calls at all sometimes. Let me try to explain. Sometimes when I try to make a call my service will cut out and say "out of service area" and not but 5 seconds later it will show I have service again. I can send text messages surf the web anything but make phone calls. At&t doesn't believe that it's on their end. Whats going on??
You are not alone, I have similar problem. I went to Sumsang center in Bestbuy last weekend, the Sumsang guy there told me he loses DATA randomly too, he knew at least 3 people having the same issue since last OTA. And they are all AT&T users, all S8+ phone, the Samsung guy told me they already know this situation and investigating it, hopefully they will push another update soon.
For now, I reboot my phone every morning before I leave my house.

It's very frustrating. I've talked to samsung on the phone and they told me I could send my phone in and have it tested but I feel like it won't do anything. And they would send me a refurbished phone back not a brand new one like the one I purchased. I drop connection all the time during calls, when I try to make calls it doesn't matter. The people at at&t are no help.
Add me to it. And to me it is an intermittent problem. It does not happen all the time. I am on Sprint, and I have the phone unlocked through Sprint since I paid it off. Not sure if unlock changed anything.
Anyone got the problem sorted out?
S8 plus out of service area
Hi.
I also have the same problem and this is not a software problem this is hardware problem you need to change the boot.
Theirs no other way
I had a similar issue. My phone showed I had network coverage but I kept missing calls. My provider sends a text message on missed call. I would call my number, phone would not show anything and i'd get a missed call sms.
I took it to the local samsung authorized service, they replaced the motherboard, the display and battery on warranty. Basically I have a new phone now and it works.
So I have a Z Fold 2 I bought on ebay. I believe its a Verizon device however the model number is SM-F916U1, and I know Verizon unlocks their devices after 60 days. I've had the phone for about 45 days now. Well whenever I try to use my cricket sim card in it it will register on the network just fine and everything works for about 10 to 15 minutes and then it kicks me off the network and locks it up. Do I need to get my phone unlocked or is there something I'm overlooking? Can someone point me in the right direction I've been Googling the hell out of this and can't find an answer.
I would guess it's a stolen z fold did u check the imei? When I bought my z fold 2, i got an empty box from ups. Had to file a police report and everything. I didn't buy from ebay but best buys. I never had a ups package stolen until this phone so if I were to guess the one u bought off ebay might not be good.
Yes that was the first thing I did its not stolen and jts fully paid off.
I'm completely wrong then. Sorry I'm not sure possibly 60 day thing like u said. Can u try a different sims?
Yeah I've tried different sims and they all work except after 15 to 20 minutes it suddenly kicks me off the networks and says network locked. When I first got the phone I put a Verizon postpaid sim into it hoping it would somehow help but idk. The problem here is I don't know when this phone was originally purchased or if it was ever activated on Verizon before I got it in my hands. Is there any way to maybe find that info out?
Most likely you'd need to contact Verizon to get them to unlock it on their end, however since you weren't the original owner, they might refuse to do it.
I did contact them and they said on their end the phone shows as unlocked.
Long story short, my phone was under the account of a relative that passed away, so I had to switch service. Problem is I had a $1400 phone I was still making payments on... for some reason Xfinity let me port out my number, but the phone is not paid off. I switched service and I'm looking for a service to unlock the phone so I can use it on another carrier whom I already have service and a cheap phone with.
Anyone use one of those websites and which one is reliable and at a good price? So far I'm trying fastnlock.com $19.99.. they got back to me with a code that did not work and I'm waiting to hear back from them again.
