Hi all,
I have an odd problem. It started when having lost my phone I asked my sim card provided to suspend my mobil number in case of theft. Thankfully I found it and asked my provider to remove the suspension. Now I apparently have no signal and I'm unable to make or recieve calls or messages, but I can surf the net? My phone was directly from htc via handtech and can use any sim from any supplier. I've tried my sim in an old phone and it works fine and I also have a pay as you go sim which I use to benefit from free calls between mobils an land lines on the same network. I've looked at all the setting and can't see anything obviously wrong.? Can anybody help please

Hi there,
i've been searching for hours now but couldn't find anything working.
Usually I make phone calls from my mobile by calling my home number (which is free for me) and then being connected by my voip router, similar to using a calling card. In my Alcatel phone there is an option to use a general prefix where I enter the home number, a pause sign and the pin code. If that option is activated I simply use the phone book on the sim card and the prefix is used automatically. So I can activate or deactivate the calling card option whenever I want to.
Of course I want to have something similar on my MDA but all I could find were apps that either don't install/work on WM2003SE (Sunnysoft Callingcard, CCDialer, EZDial) or do not what I want them to (Mobidial).
Maybe somebody knows a solution?
Thanx in advance,
Harry
PS: I've got the most recent T-Mobile Big_Storage ROM installed.
So I bought my husband a cheap smart watch without knowing the first thing about them (first mistake), and I asked the seller if it could be used WITHOUT a sim card - just using Bluetooth to connect to the phone. They said yes it could so I bought it (apparently 2nd mistake lol).
Do any of you know - can it be used without a sim card and still access messaging and Facebook? He can make and receive calls fine but can't access Facebook or messaging at all. If he needs a sim card we'll probably just have to get rid of it because his phone service does not use sim cards (straight talk - non BYOD plan) so he would have to get a separate plan and phone number just to use the stupid thing. I mean he can always just use it for phone calls only but it seems kind of pointless if you don't have messaging.
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks!
Hi, i bought this second-hand galaxy s7 edge and it came with this problem and i dont know what to do.
Basically, it recognizes signal and everything (EE Mobile), i can use internet (without credits, lol), but when i try to call or send a message it doesnt works, any number that i dial it finish after 1 sec dialing. Also, no one can call my number and i dont got any messages.
Any solution?
What could it be?
I`ve searched but couldnt find anything that looks like my case in internet.
Thank you guys.
Probably is not unlocked for that carrier, try a SIM from the original carrier
Hi
I just bought an XZs dual SIM version. I'm having a very strange issue with it.
I have two SIMs installed: one on O2 UK and the other on Three UK.
The three chip works perfectly. Can do everything, voice, data, SMS etc... all good.
The O2 chip however has a strange issue. Every phone call I make it says "Invalid number".
Even if I call using the international +XX XXXXXX type or if I call using the UK style 07XXXXX both say "Invalid number" and do not complete the call.
What is odd is that I can receive incoming calls to the number. SMS and data also works, just making outgoing calls fails.
I checked that the phone supports the bands that O2 uses and it does. It does connect to the network (as I said I can receive calls, use data, send and receive SMS but just cannot make any outgoing calls)
The phone came from Hong Kong, and both O2 and Sony have flat out refused to help because I didn't buy the phone in the UK.
But well, it's a mobile phone, it should work in my country even if it's from HK.
I cannot really understand why I can receive calls but not make them. The SIM card works in my UK Samsung S6 so I do not think it's a network issue.
I have tried setting it to GSM only as it is my work phone and I really only need it for making calls. I've tried WCDMA / 4G / 3G but nothing fixes it.
I have reset the phone. Checked carrier settings etc.
Lastly I have tried swapping the chips around, and tried it with just one SIM but still the problem occurs.
Please can anyone give any suggestions on resolving this issue before I have to send it back ?
Thanks!
never mind. i solved it.
it was a provisioning error by the network, contacted O2 today and they resolved it by doing some kind of reset their end, which they didn't want to elaborate on.
fixed now.
Hey, there's a remote location that I'm going to every now and then, and there's good signal only by a specific provider.
There's no good signal with that provider where I live, so switching permanently is not a solution for me.
I've purchased a second sim for when I'm going to that location, didn't try it yet but I wonder about using my Whatsapp with that sim.
According to the Whatsapp FAQ:
"Your WhatsApp account can only be verified with one number on one phone. If you have a dual SIM phone, please note that you still must choose one number to verify with WhatsApp. There is no option to have a WhatsApp account with two phone numbers.
If you attempt to frequently switch your WhatsApp account between different devices, at a certain point, you may be blocked from re-verifying your account. Please don't repeatedly switch between different devices and numbers."

Which means that changing the Whatsapp number every time sounds like a pretty bad solution, and I know people that had issues with this.
So basically I'm trying to ask for a possible solution here, I guess I need to:
1. Either be able to use the other number's Whatsapp with the other sim.
2. Either be able to 'forward' the internet from the second sim to the first sim.
I don't know if any of them are possible, but hopefully I'm not the first one to encounter that.
Thanks!
It would be ridiculous for verification to happen very often over SIM data connection. After all, people often travel using Wi-Fi, and WhatsApp still works, because the application only checks whether the SIM inserted into the phone is the one that was used when registering. Just turn on the internet via the second SIM, and do not turn off the first one despite the lack of coverage. At most, the battery will run out faster due to attempts to establish a connection from the first SIM to the mast.
