Sim card in a Wifi only - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently bought a Wifi only Xoom. So far I love this device despite a few issues with the SD card.
So I have an SD Card slot, if I was to put my AT&T SD card from my Inspire into my XOOM does it work? any ideas?

The "sd" card and "sim" card are two different things.
The "sd" card and subsequent "slot" is for expandable storage.
the "sim" card and subsequent "slot"(which i don't think the wifi only xoom has) is for cellular data service.
Your micro sd card should work in your wifi only xoom.
Your sim card will not.

Nomenclature!
SD card will work (with OS 3.2), SIM card will not.

[Q] SD Card slot?

I have a 3G model. Where is the SD card slot? Is it the same one that takes the SIM on the top of the tablet????
I know the SD doesn't work yet but I need to know if it's the same slot then in future I can't use both SD and a 3G service at the same time?
Pull the sim card tray out and look inside. The microsd slot is inside.
Thanks. I was scared that maybe some models didn't have the SD card slot. And I pulled the sim card out so many times but could never see the sd card slot in there.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S I9000 SIM card slot damaged?

Hi,
My Samsung Galaxy S I9000M (Canadian version, but pretty much same as I9000) all of a certain won't recognize the SIM card.
I've read pretty much every post here and on google wrt SIM card not being recognized, tried factory reset, flashed many different ROMs/modems and no luck.
I'm suspicious that the SIM card slot is damaged, as other SIM cards were also not recognized by the phone. Its possible, since I use a micro SIM card adaptor to fit in a micro SIM card into the regular sized slot.
Before I take it to a store, I'd like to ask one of you kind souls to compare the pic of my SIM card slot to your phone and see if there is a gold pin in the middle thats missing on my phone. I see 5 gold pins with no gold pin in the middle at the top of the slot -- should there be one there? (i.e. should there be six pins?)
Thank you so much in advance. I've spend over a week on this so far.
Just to update in case anyone else had the same question:
Yes, there was a pin missing, and the whole SIM card tray had to be replaced.

Android phone only detects certain sim cards?

Can anyone explain to me why my cell phones only detect and show that a sim is inserted for certain sim cards? For example, my S3 is able to detect a Koodo micro sim, but when I put in a Fido micro sim, it will not detect it and say no sim card inserted. Same goes for my spare dual sim phone. Any reasons why?

This could happen because your phone might be locked to a particular carrier. Search your device forum for help on unlocking.
