Does anyone know how to unlock the SIM for the Verizon TP2 so it can accept any SIM card?
You'll need to have been a long time customer of Verizon (although, I've read of new customers having good results) in good standing.
Call Verizon up and tell them you want to SIM unlock the phone. If they ask, tell them you're traveling overseas and want to use another provider for GSM service.
This is a very new phone for Verizon, so they may not have the instruction set for the Touch Pro2 yet (my rep didn't). My rep had to contact HTC directly for instructions, but he had both unlock codes in his computer. You can let them contact HTC, or tell them you want the codes and you'll contact HTC directly yourself if this is the case.
They should give you two unlock codes (Unlock A and Unlock B, although you should only need Unlock A).
Write down the code, turn on your Touch Pro 2.
From the homescreen, scroll all the way to SETTINGS.
Click ALL SETTINGS in the bottom left hand corner of the screen
Click the PERSONAL tab.
Click the SECURITY icon.
Enter your Unlock A code in the box and click OK/Enter.
Your phone should now be SIM unlocked!
This is how I did it. Neither AT&T or TMobile SIMs have been rejected in my TP2, but I have yet to make test calls.. I think there is a software restriction somewhere that needs to be bypassed for US based GSM, but I don't recall for sure.

hmm do you know of any online services who could give me the unlock codes?
Why do you need a service? If you're a customer in good standing with Verizon (60days or more I think) they'll give you the unlock code.
The ROM's havn't been hacked yet for the CDMA/US versions of the phones so I don't think there is anyone else doing unlocks yet.
All I had to do was send an email to Verizon from my account login page and the next morning i had the unlock code waiting for me.

The qualifications for unlock eligability is to have had service with verizon longer than 60 days, only one unlock per line in 10 months, and to have your account balance current, as well as this will void your warranty with the equipment per verizon. It does not affect insurance on the device is what I got. I got a $15 prepaid sim card from at&t due to TMobile not offering data on prepaid, unless you have a sidekick. So after successfull unlock, and my new gophone sim, I was able to make and recieve calls, and took a sec but got data services working, but restricted to edge speeds in the US of course due to the hsdpa being on a different frequency than they use in europe. But hey, my phone now has 2 numbers with a few clicks of a button, no need to even restart the device, so when I am in a building that I cant get cdma service due to the high band frequency it uses, I can then use gsm to make outbound calls, and it's cool to floss to your coworkers that your verizon phone showing the at&t network. Whats the point of having a world phone if you cant play
One upgraded device $199, one prepaid sim $15.00, sticking with verizon after the first tp was crippled, a fortune, being able to showup the iphone on almost every level, Priceless.
Being a good smartphone, there's not an app for that. hahaha

Just got my TP2 with Verizon and lovin' it. Can't wait for this to be unlocked.
I have read about unlocking the SIM card on the phone. It's nice that they will do that, but why would one want to do this? What is there to gain from it?

The big benefit for those of us who travel is that we can use a foreign SIM in our phones when in a foreign country and pay local rates instead of VZW's $2+/min charges. (on Orange when I'm in the UK I pay like 40cents/min to call the US and like 15cents/min to call the UK).
In the US and only with the Verizon phone you can also get say AT&T or TMobile service and have a 2nd local(US) phone number on it and switch between VZW & the other provider as you wish.

I sent Verizon an email on Friday afternoon and got a reply with my unlock code within two hours. It was a very nice reply too. The reason I wanted to do this was I am planning on moving to another area code and have found it much easier to get a job some place if you actually have a local number, so I'm just going to get a prepaid SIM for a while...

I got my code as well. I tried a co-workers SIM card from his iPhone 3GS running on AT&T and it worked. Too funny. The only issue was that he got 2 voice mails and a text while I had his SIM card in and now I have an unread text showing that I can't get rid of. Arrrgh. I also had 2 voice mails that were showing up as well but I got rid of those by calling my phone and leaving a voice mail. Now to just get rid of that stuck text message. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. By the way... thanks for this post. It will be handy when I travel to Europe and Mexico.

If you are comfortable editing your registry, (and have a reg edit program installed on your phone) you can go to:
HK_USER\System\State\sms\Unread\Count
Change this value to 0
That should work. (at least it does on normal sms messages, not sure if the SIM card makes any difference.)
EDIT: You may have to check "..\MMS\Unread\Count" also.

Just curious, are you using that SIM card on a US Rhodium? I ask because I got my phone SIM unlocked via the code Verizon provides, but I've been wondering about being able to use the phone in the US with a SIM card from say AT&T or T-Mobile.
I have a question for you guys.
The SIM card that comes with your phones (both Verizon and Sprint), they are dummies right? Do your phones work if you pull em out?
Will be getting my TP2 from verizon shortly. Love the fact that we can unlock the SIM Slot and insert and Active US AT&T SIM card...not so sure I like the Edge only speeds though....
Does anyone know if we can avoid calling and just get the unlock codes posted on here or are they strictly by account?
So where i live we have another option for gsm networks called air fire mobile... I called at&t to get my unlock code after giving me my code they asked what my intentions were, i told them to switch networks. The rep then told me my inspire would not work on this other gsm network called airfire. I dont know if air fire is a national thing or what but in case not here is there web site. http://www.airfiremobile.com/
Well i went to airfire mobile and they said my phone would have to be unlocked so i had them put there sim card into my phone and nothing popped up for unrecognized sim card..... My g/f has a htc aria and she got the option to unlock sim she put the unlock code in she had received and it worked but her phone could not recognize air fire's network only there roaming service with is covered by at&t... is there something with HTC phones that will not allow us to use this network, or are there any steps we need to do once the new sim cards are in the phones like settings and apns numbers or anything? Please help looking to escape my raping by at&t each month lol
You should have no issues with ATT phones working on AirFire. Looks like they use the same bands as ATT. And maybe she was showing as roaming because she was actually roaming. There is only local coverage in wisconsin. This page shows everything you need to know except nowhere on the site does it say they offer 3G. I am guessing it is edge only.
http://www.airfiremobile.com/Support
thank you for you help, when i asked the lady if they offer 3g her response was we offer 2.5g lol im guessing that would be edge?? Also when i go Menu>settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>Network operators: the only thing that comes up is at&t. This is with my at&t sim card in, but shouldnt it show airfire also? or does my phone need to be unlocked before it will show airfire?? so confusing lol
Is your phone sim unlocked? You said you got the code from ATT but never said if you were able to enter it sucessfully. Is your phone rooted? If yes then during the rooting process it will become sim unlocked. So if you phone happens to be sim unlocked then select "network operators" and do a search for your new network. And YES you have to have an AirMobile sim or all you will see is ATT with an ATT sim card.
Just in case you don't understand, you unlock the phone to use any simcard. You are not unlocking the sim card to use any carrier.
As far as data it is an ATT phone. It does not have the APN for AirFire Mobile. You will have to enter that yourself as a new APN.
yes my phone is rooted, i never knew that by rooting it unlocks the phone, maybe that would explain why when i put the airfire sim in the box never came up asking for the unlock code?
But even still when the g/f had the airfire sim in her aria and she unlocked her phone it showed airfire network but it was roaming.. and didn't show there home network, the rep at the store said it could be something within the hardware from htc??? and at&t told me my inspire wouldn't work on airfire because my phone was 4g phone.. which i dont see why a 4g phone cant come down to Edge network if thats what airfire is
Any ATT phone will be able to make calls and connect to data on AirFire's 2.5G system if thats what they call it.
Let's just say that the rep at the store should be selling shoes.

Your right the guy is stupid. First the inspire can't connect to att 4g network that is not even 4g. As long as they are GSM based you are at least gonna get edge. I don't even want him selling me shoes lol
The verizon version comes gsm unlocked out the box.
I bought one to see if i could use it on metro and bypass their hotspot throttling. So far so good. To those with a verizon s6 s7 or what have you, do not update to 7.0 Nougat. This will kill fox fi and many other tricks. Also metro locks their sim cards to their phones. If you are like me and have unl data on of metro phones and want hotspot for free, this is how to do it. Free no 15 dollar change phone on account fee, or hotspot plan fee.
Grab your metro phone, go over to my metro, instead of calling customer service choose chat option. Explain to the rep that the metro phone on your account is either faulty or broken. I chose to tell them that i dropped it and was taking it to get fixed. I have an old phone that i can use(s6) and would like to activate meantime. They will ask for the imei of the old phone,
Ask which telephone number you want with the old phone and if you are using the same sim from your metro phone. So basicly, they are sim locking your metro sim to your old phone. They will let you know when the transfer has been done. Keep in mind that you have 30 mins to take your sim out your metro phone and insert into your old verizon s6. Once that is done, simply put the sim in the Verizon s6( i have the edge+ on 6.0) . Metro has done al the work for you. No need to imput Apn settings or be worried about mms. Everything works.
Including the Hotspot feauture thats on your s6. I did the pdanet +foxfi key and im getting wifi hotspot. Also im getting way better download zpeeds. I hope this helps anyone who has thought of doing the same but tried to no avail.

I suggest you to go for the Korean model if it's not working. Just make sure to check lte bands for compatibility.

Have a chance to get a good deal on a unlocked sprint version.
Then go for it. But be sure to be Sim unlocked and lte bands accepted. The Korean sells for 800$ on eBay. Also can be flashed with European firmware and supports secondary screen. Imo has better quality also software aside. Noticed with LG G7... If you got better deal then go for it.
Are you sure it's unlocked and if so, how was it unlocked? I have a Sprint model and I'm having to wait ‘til my 50 service days are up to get Sprint to unlock it. I've contacted some pretty good unlocking services and hearing the same thing from all; As of now only Sprint can unlock it.
As we all know Sprint 5G service area (like all others) is very small but they're still charging everyone who activates this phone on their service for a 5G service plan regardless of whether they have 5G service in your area or not. I got a great deal on a 3rd party phone but it was locked which I knew going in. As soon as it's unlocked, I'm going to try GFI. BTW, it's a great phone.

Wont be sure until I put my sim card in but it owner says sim unlocked. No interest in 5g anytime soon. If possible will disable/limit to lte.
One thing's for sure.... LG phones drop like a rock! I couldn't wait but I’m thinking in two months this phone's (sprint model) probably going to be selling for $400. Imo the only thing holding the price up for now is there just aren't very many out in the wild. Kind of strange really, since according to the Ifixit breakdown, it has the same Qualcomm 5G X50 modem as both the Galaxy S10 5G phone and the new Note 5G. Otherwise the specs are very similar. I guess it’s all perceived value.

My 50 days on Sprint are up in about a week. I'm moving back to Google Fi as soon as I unlock. Of course, Fi uses both Tmob & Sprint networks so I'm fairly sure is will work on one or the other.

I am just waiting for these to drop even more if that. Doubt the 5G works in other markets.
were you able to use wifi calling ? were you able to eliminate the 'activate' message. Thanks
Finally Sim unlocked and ported over to Simple Mobile, a Tmob Mvno. It was relatively painless and took less than an hour for the actual port. No reason to be on Sprint right now if you don't have 5G service in your area. I was on the phone with Sprint yesterday for at least an hour and a half and gave them every chance to do something about my bill. I asked them point blank why anyone would pay for 5G service when it's not even in their area? Their response was just lame. I'm guessing it will be at least one if not two years before 5G is working in a wide spread fashion in a lot of cities in the US.
Now, as for the service on Tmob's network, it's only been about a hour since I switched but have made couple of phone calls and run a couple of speed tests. Phone call quality seems same same and speed test speeds seemed the same as if I were on Tmob., 15 down and about 7-10 on the upload. Now the freaking really good news. Simple mobile is running a special for 3GBs data and unlimited talk, unlimited text. at $25 per month. If you do auto pay after taxes it's $22 and change.
are all t mobile bands available? Does it work with t mobile 5G?
As of right now, there seems to be a problem with the APN record on the sprint model. Sprint, the scumbag company that it is, has locked the APN. They'll unlock the phone to except other sim cards, no problem. But when your new provider tries to register your phone on their network it doesn't fully complete the process. In other words, part of the process is that a new APN record is pushed down to the phone identifying the new MMS DNS server for that network. I use Simple Mobile which is a MVNO of Tmob but Sprint has locked the APN on my V50. I;m still able to get data but can't send/receive pictures via text messages.
So be ware.

does wifi calling work? how are updates handled . thank you
We have a pair of sprint unlocked V50 and just got an update over the metropcs service.
In the service menu it says voice over wifi is provisioned but in the settings network voice over wifi is off and the switch wont stay to on position when i toggle to on.
I still see my cellular connection in the notification area disappear then reappear.
Is this normal behavior or is it trying to activate in background? Maybe it checking for 5G?
I think it using more batt then usual possibly
Now....... finally, some good news and this took a bit of doing. To start off with I originally tried an old Fi sim card I had to port out of Sprint after those scumbags unlocked my V50. I kept getting a T077 error during the Google Fi activation process and Fi support just kept telling me that the V50 wasn't a supported device and they couldn’t help. I told them I thought it was a bad sim card so they suggest I pick up a new one at Best Buy. So, after a trip down to Best Buy I found out that they rarely have Fi cards in stock so I picked up a Simple Mobile (tmob mvno) sim for a buck and the port/activation sort of worked in that I successfully ported my number from Sprint and I was able to make calls and get data but couldn't receive/send pictures (MMS) in text. So, I said screw it and order another Fi Sim card thru the Google site and waited a week. I got it yesterday late and tried it this morning and crap it didn't work with the same activation error, T077. I have been scouring the internet for days for any info the error code and somewhere along the way I remember seeing something about taking the mvno card out and then putting the Fi card in and trying to activate without rebooting the phone. Now remember this is really all about not being able to edit the APN record with the correct DNS info so you can receive MMS picture by text. Anyway, after slipping in the FI sim card to my V50 the activation process suddenly squeaked on thru and low and behold I'm now running on Google Fi with MMS working and APN record is correctly updated the Fi info. I think the reason it worked was that the activation process thought I was a Tmob customer. When it asked me for account info to port my existing number to GFI the dialog screen show things like.... Enter your T-Mobile account number and asked what was the name on my T-Mobile account. But for whatever reason it worked and now I'm finally free of Sprint.
It worked for me but your mileage may very.

What sms app do you use? Lg or Google? Cuz with Google messaging I have fully enabled RCS. Sending pics and videos over data and wifi. Why bother with mms when RCS technology is way better?
Got my AT&T variant today. Doesn't look like eSIM funcationality is enabled. Second IMEI and eSIM shown but greyed out and no way to activate. Is this true? If so, does anyone know if unlocked version allows for eSIM use so you can get dual sim? I need dual SIM for both US (AT&T) and international travel (Singapore).
no dual sim on unlocked version either

Really? Why put the eSIM in if you're just going to disable it?
well that's a bummer. Hopefully someone will come up with some firmware or we'll see a country release the 4G version of the phone that will work in the US and support dual SIM. I do, however, use wifi calling a lot and right now the iPhone seems to be the only choice that can be AT&T wifi calling compatible and dual sim.
Thanks for letting me know - i also had an order for the unlocked variant that I will cancel.

Pixel 4/4XL unlocked versions (as well as bought thru AT&T) will do Wi-Fi calling and HD Voice on AT&T (sometimes requires a little work on your part to bug AT&T).
Also, I cannot find anyway to do Wi-Fi calling on the Flip, let alone HD Voice, though it is perfectly clear with calls I have made so far.
I bought the ATT version of the flip so getting wifi calling. I didn’t think Pixel 4 was dual sim? Before various bans, I had decent luck getting HD voice on Huwawei phones but never WiFi calling unless ATT firmware (or iPhone)

Typical AT&T treatment of BYOD with regards to Wi-Fi.
Pixel 4's are physical SIM and eSIM.
Basically you can (if you find a tech who can/will) provision the account with an IMEI that supports those features, and your SIM is current, it will/should work. My 4XL is currently set up like this (and previous Pixels as well).
Thx didn’t know about the pixel 4 - I did the same thing with IMEI numbers. I bought a cheap galaxy phone from ATT for the sole purpose of having an IMEI that shows ATT. It won’t help WiFi calling which needs firmware support but has consistently gotten HD voice to work. Hopefully a different variant of the flip will show up with dual sim support that can be used on the ATT network

Slightly off topic, but if you have a minute, could you post where the setting(s) for Wi-Fi calling actually are (if there is any), I'm curious to see if they are on mine (I can't find any as of yet).
Thanks.
It gave me the option to setup when I ran. Y hone setup. It’s all under connections in setting or you can search setting for WiFi calling. I believe this is only available with the ATT firmware

I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious, and yes, seems its only on AT&T branded device(s).
On the unlocked version, I was able to access the hidden SIM manager menu using Activity Launcher and enable the second SIM. However, even after doing so, it doesn't seem that I can do much with it.
I saw same you can see it but it's not really enabling it (under about phone, esim is still greyed out). I bought a European Version of the phone that is supposed to have dual sim enabled and is arriving tomorrow - I will report back if I can add my AT&T plan to the eSIM and use my SG SIM card on the second line and how it works. Even if I get that to work, i will have to give up wifi calling (since not an AT&T variant of the phone) and usually - Samsung pay doesn't work (but usually google pay does). i will report back. Love the phone but without the ability to use 2 SIMs, it will sadly be doing back.

I thought that the Wi-Fi calling piece was becoming more universally supported, regardless of variant. I have the unlocked version and Verizon Wi-Fi calling (and HD calling) are both working.
Hi, I got one in Czech Republic and the dual sim (eSim/normal Sim) dual standby. the setting for eSIM are under Connections>>Sim card Manager, there should be a section with eSIMS and you select 'add mobile plan' (in CZ you scan the barcode of the eSIM thats provided by the operator). Wifi calling is in the phone app under call settings and can be activated for both sim 1 and sim 2 at the same time
I got the UK version of the phone. I have an AT&T phone number on an eSIM and have the eSIM card (with the QR code). I removed the plan from my old device (a Galaxy Fold Dual SIM I bought in Singapore that worked fine with both SIMS) and then tried to "add the plan" onto my new flip. I scanned the QR code and get the message "Your mobile plan is already being used on another device. For more information, contact your service provider.: I called AT&T and advanced tech support added the new IMEI's(both physical and eSIM) to that number on their end but still getting the error. They were at a loss for a solution. Any ideas on how to fix this? Really love the phone though useless to me without the ability to use an eSIM for my AT&T number.
BTW, yes to calls over LTE (VoLTE) with AT&T SIM on UK variant of the phone and, not surprisingly, no joy on Wifi Calling
You need a new QR code from ATT. If you are using an older QR code it wont work.
Are both SIMs 3G capable?

I gonna buy the UK model and so I can use both my personal and company numbers on one phone.
My company's number is nano sim and the supports 3G and 4G
My personal number is esim and supports 3G and 4G
Neither my personal nor company number network support 2G.
I read somewhere that while Z Flip is dual sim, one of the sims only support 2G. is that right? Can anyone confirm it?
went to AT&T store, moved my old esim (galaxy fold) to a physical sim, activated and tested on physical SIM then converted it again to eSIM (new QR code). Worked! Had trouble going from eSIM to eSIM but converting to physical SIM in the middle of the process (something I read on another forum) fixed it.
