What works with an unlocked iPhone?

I have an HTC 8525 on the AT&T network. I know that locked iPhones can only use the sim that they come with but what about the unlocked ones?
If I pop my at&t sim with a pda plan in an unlocked iPhone what can I expect to work or not work? Obviously the visual voicemail is a no go, but what about general internet, email, and wifi access?
Thanks!

i'd asume it would work ok

yea ul be able to use pretty much everything,e-mail,wifi,internet,gmaps,etc....there r a few 3rd party softwares available which u can install....but everytime itunes installs an update the iPhone gets sim locked and the 3rd party softwares dun work nemore....sucks huh??

So the updates aren't an elected thing? When the phone as wifi or internet access it will just pop on the update and botch the unlock? That does suck one.

If you unlock an iPhone with v 1.0.2 or v 1.1.1 and put your at&t sim from the 8525 - or any other SIM - the only thing that will not work is visual voicemail. Voicemail will still work: notifications, dialpad for deleting and storing, etc. If you use a non-AT&T SIM you will need to manually set up the edge data connection with the appropriate carriers APN settings.
This site should have all the information you need:

Thanks for the info and the link, I'll check out that site. I knew this wasn't the best place for an iphone question but its my favorite site
I talked to AT&T and they said that I could pop my AT&T sim in a new or used iphone and the phone would work fine but that I would not have net/email service since I am not on the iPhone plan. The rep went on to say that I could switch from my mediamax plan to the iphone plan and when I put the sim card back in non-iphone the net/email would still work like it was on the mediamax plan! This seems highly unlikely to me but who knows.
Anyone with an iPhone and the iPhone plan tried popping their sim card in a non-iPhone and trying out some internet?

[Q] Android prepaid sim card issue, Sharp FX Plus asd1

Hey all, my mom just got an unlocked AT&T Sharp FX Plus asd1 android 2.2 phone to replace her old phone. She uses AT&T prepaid service so when I was setting it up for her I just used my T-mobile sim card with a data plan which worked fine but when I put her sim in all I get is a sim card icon in the notification bar with an exclamation point. But the weird thing is not only is it an AT&T phone but it came unlocked and I rooted it I even did a factory reset but still nothing. Her prepaid sim card works on my rooted T-mobile G2 no problem I'm not really sure what to do she could I suppose get a tmobile prepaid sim card but I don't want to have her buy more stuff for something she may not be able to use. I thought of updating it to 2.3 like my phone but besides rooting it there is little in the way of development I really don't wanna have to tell her she's gotta sell it to get her money back. This shouldn't be that hard I've done stuff like this b4 with no problems what so ever am I missing something? Any info you guys could give me would be awesome and thanks in advance.

Call att and tell them you are changing phones. They have been locking sim cards to IMEI as of late.

[Q] SIM Unlock Rooted and Custom Flashed Verizon SCH-i535 GS3? for MetroPCS

Hello whats up everyone, I'm in a need of help this evening!
After doing much heavy research i still have not been found a 100% concrete wat to unlock my verizon SGS3 so that i can use it with other sim cards such as MetroPCS or T-Mobile
I currently have it running EZ-Unlocked and rooted with CleanRom 4.1.2 when i put in a non verizon sim such as a non-activated T-Mobile card, it doesn't say "sorry, this SIM is not supported. please....." but says simply no service. Is my phone already SIM unlocked?
I also saw this handy method:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cmiEZcw1z8
but when the NETWORK LOCK option came up..it just said NETWORK LOCK and no 3 options I could choose..hmmm
EDIT: heard that 4.1.1 HAS the option to get rid of the NETWORK LOCK option and this feature was apparently removed on purpose with 4.1.2? But i'm running CleanROM?
BTW: i've tried "galaxsim unlock" but it's not compatible with the US Variant yet.
MetroPCS will get my phone working on their network and do all the trickery...I just need to know if my phone is SIM unlocked.

BUMP: Look Guys, I've seen quite a few people view this with nothing to say...It's URGENT. i can't afford a new handset and verizon is cutting us off for good because my girlfriends cousin who was also on the plan that her mom was on the name for...went over on data twice. Her Cousin doesn't live with us but was on the plan...he was suppose to be grounded for going over the FIRST time but fooled his mom into giving her the MicroSD card and lied and said that was the SIM card. so he went over another month probably downloading porn and ****.
verizon said there is no rush to pay the overages....as we will not be turning back on service. We use our cell phones as the priority communication tool..no home phone....right now we have no provider. I need an answer please

[Q] Just bought a used T-Mobile Note 10.1

As the title says, I've been dying to get a Note 10.1. I finally got one but it happens to be a T-Mobile version and the sim card has been removed. I don't plan on getting 4G service ever if I can avoid it.
So now I have a few questions:
1. Will I be able to get updates like the wifi only tablets do or will I be forced to get T-Mobile service when updates come out?
2. I have these annoying notifications about the missing sim card. Is there a way around this? I have Sprint service for my phones so I really don't know much about sim cards. Do I need to go to T-Mobile and just ask for one to pop in without getting service? Are they free or would they send me packing because I don't have their service?
3. I also have the x'd out signal meter that I would love to get rid of.
Any advice you guys can give me as a sim card/carrier tablet noob would be very helpful.
Thank you

If you're rooted, you can use xposed mods to do almost anything to the tab you want. As for updates, I'm not sure about since I have the 8013 and Samsung has said fu to it.

if you are running stock rom. I would go to amazon and Order a sim card for data devices. I think you can get one for like 14.00 with 1 gb data PRE PAY. setup t mobile account and then change your plan to pay as you go DAILY . Your sim will not expire and if you want or need to use the devices on there network even once a year you can just jump on there site and buy a day or weekend pass.I have not checked this lately so the above cold be slighty different now. Good Luck

Not registered on Network...?

I gotta problem lol. I haven't used this phone in over a month because I destroyed my LCD. So when the new one came I put it on and the phone was okay... Well until it kept saying about me not being registered. I mean I looked everywhere and my phone is unlocked and I'm using TMobile. But it only gives me the voicemail notification and that's all. My signal been going in and out. and I just flashed a new rom (s8/s8+ port). I don't really know where else to go from here. I can't call or use my data or anything. 3days out from going back to school and still don't have it fixed... I need a second opinion before I will decide to go back to a stock rom then get root back.

Could be just something minor or...
I've got TMobile... (Well mint sim) they said that my sim card is purged and that they needed to update the Sim card or they'll send out another if nessacary. Hope they'll fix the problem.

Min and Prl is Null..
I'm guessing it's no longer the Sim card that's causing the problem. I still need help

Hey guys sorry for posting here but I was wondering if it's possible to use a sprint note 5 on Verizon? I'm thinking about getting the note 5 but I want to be able to unlock the bootloader and root. Only issue is I have Verizon. Any suggestions on which version of the note 5 I should get?
Thanks

Did you ever get an answer for this issue? I have a rooted Sprint Note 5 and switched recently to Verizon. Everything works right except my signal says roaming perpetually. That said, I am getting a data signal but I don't think it's up to snuff as far as 4g LTE. The way we got it going was the rep activated a SIM card with another phone before dropping it in mine. I had no data for a while but eventually got it to use data over mobile just, as I said, not full capacity mbps of LTE. I'm hoping to fix the signal saying roaming so I know if I have a 3g, 4g, LTE or whatever rather than just "R" and never being sure if I can access data over mobile with it being hit or miss. Any thoughts?
