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...

Copying 3G SIM Cards

I just bought a 3G SIM card from AT&T who is not my carrier but I do have an unlocked TyTn. My current carrier doesn't support 3G yet but will do so in the near future.
Is it possible to copy or clone my current SIM card onto the AT&T SIM and get 3G services while roaming on a 3G network? If so, how can it be done? Or is it even possible?
Thanks!

Adding Verizon to Network Operators?

I unlocked my MyTouch 4g (Glacier) and I want to use my Verizon sim card in it but it does not detect Verizon in the network operators. How do I get verizon on there? Is it possible? I thought unlocking it would allow me to do this.

Verizon does not use 'SIM' cards
as 'SIM' cards are used for GSM networks and Verizon is a CDMA provider

I did google this extensively. The phone that I have here is on the verizon network and has a sim card. Why would I make that up?

Verizon is a CDMA network. The SIM card is there because the phone you have also has a GSM radio for traveling overseas. However, just because it says "Verizon" on the SIM card doesn't mean your phone connects to Verizon when you roam. It's actually connecting to Vodafone when you're roaming in most countries. That's what the SIM card slot is for. Now if you unlocked that phone, you could use it on T-Mobile or AT&T if you set it to GSM Mode.
That Verizon phone will work in the US and Canada whether or not that SIM card is in there. It's impossible to get a GSM phone (your MyTouch 4G) to work on a CDMA network (Verizon).

Thank you for the real explanation and not being a jerk about it, as I did not know this.
It sucks that I cant use it but now I know.

Confused and Stressed Sim with Wifi?

Hello all,
i got my Xoom from my friend. He told me that it is a WIFI Xoom. it is mz604 but it has a Sim Card hole ?
What does it for ? i live in Turkey. is it for 4g or cdma only or it is only for decoration ?
i succesfully flashed Turkey FW and mobile network is disabled. i checked out Turkish xoom when you take out sim card its mobile network is disabled too.
i wonder that sim card socket is working or not ? if it is working i can transfer it to 3g (i think) but if it is cdma or 4G or whatelse it is only a fantasy.
What do you think guys ?
The SIM card slot is not connected to anything in the WIFI Xooms, however, the SD card slot is in that same area.

Can't, LTE Xoom is still CDMA, not GSM.

VoLTE using data of other sim card possible?

Hi there,
I have an Oppo Find X5 Lite which is dual sim. I have two sim cards.
Sim card 1: New Zealand on 2degrees
Sim card 2: Australia on Telstra
I travel regularly between both countries. When I'm on WiFi, both sim cards register as WiFi calling which is great, however when I'm out and about in either country, one of the sim cards is always in roaming.
I'm wondering if it's ever been possible for VoLTE of the overseas SIM card to work over the data of the local SIM card.
It's a feature that Apple has on their iPhones but I can't seem to find much about it for Android.
Hopefully someone has a hack I can use to get this to work.
Thanks all!
