[Q] SIM CRASH on a Go Phone?

I bought a cheap ATT Go Phone for the SIM card for my iPhone. I've activated the phone and the SIM card but the crappy phone keeps saying SIM CRASH, and nothing beyond that. I put the SIM into the iphone and it just says "searching" in the area for the signal strength. Do I need to call ATT about this one

Just like most companies, AT&T provides specific SIM cards for their specific services...hence the Go Phone card not working the way you want it.
Get a card from AT&T for your IPhone.
Cheers,

I know this thread is quite old but I have the same issue when I insert my sim card in the gophone in came with or any other phone I tried an unlocked iphone 3G and an unlocked HTC HD7. The most surprising part is that my HTC Desire doesn't seem to have any problem with this card.
I would really liked to get it to work on my HD7 but I had no luck.

G2X won't recognize SIM card

Anyone else experience issues with swapping their SIM from their old phone into the G2X? I have reseated mine from my N1 into the phone 3 times, and each time I boot it says I have no SIM card. Pulling my hair out!

I went from an N1 to the g2x and i had the same problem so here is the deal...
the g2x is a 4g phone and it required a new sim card version so i had to trade in the sim card that i have had since my i got my razr in 2005...
so disclaimer to anyone who buys the phone outright, you have to have an updated sim card... just go into tmobile and they will give you one...

mines wont check for sim card at all it keep saying no service even without a sim card it usually say no sim but it just say no service can someone help plz plz plz

Fyi make sure it is a corporate store. Otherwise it could cost ya $20. Customer care might even be able to mail you one...not sure. If your near Chicago I would just give you one of my extras.

I reused the sim from my N1 and have had no issues but it was probably a newer version sim since I just got it beginning of last year.

If you have an old T-Mobile phone lying around, try inserting your SIM into that, and using it, then re-insert it into your G2X.

Alright I opened it up and it looked like the antenna cable was a bit frayed near the tip, I attached a few pics. It was connected though so not sure :/

I have the same issue.
Mint condition G2X does not detect my sim card reads "error while trying to connect to network"
I am running CM 7.2 I have wiped everything and reflashed still no luck.

Add one more to the pile...
I also recently began having this problem, but my device previously worked fine.
I have tried Restoring to Factory V21Y with Mar 11 Baseband
Flasing a GB Based ROM & Stock Kernel
Flashing CM9
Flashing CM10
Entering *#*#INFO#*#* Phone Info and modifying frequency band (No Go).
At one point I was able to read the Phone # from the SIM card, but couldn't get a lock on Netowkr. I can visually detect T-Mobile and ATT in Mobile Networks.
I have tried this with 4G Enabled SIM Cards and older T-Mobile SIM Cards.
I have tried Simple Mobile, Straight Talk, & ATT SIM Cards.
I have tried using None APN's, the TMo/Simple Default APN's, and Modified APN's for Straight Talk & Family Talk.
No avail.
Any ideas?

I had the same problem. A new SIM card fixed it.

I gave my friend my old G2x because she was switching from AT&T to TMobile. She went to the TMobile store and got a new SIM card and her old AT&T number transferred to it. It works on her old iPhone but when I insert the SIM card on the LG G2x , it keeps saying 'no SIM card inserted'....do i need to flash a certain baseband on it and/or setup a custom APN for it? I am on the stock ROM thats rooted...
Any help is much appreciateed

Sorry for not replying until now but I rarely visit here anymore. My G2X had a bad Sim card which a new Sim fixed. I just had to wait until the network could authorize with it.

[Q] Foreign SIM card not being read by rooted phone

Hey all,
I'm trying to use a foreign SIM card (a prepaid card from Taiwan Mobile), but my phone says "No SIM card in phone" on the lock screen. I'm sure my phone is rooted and I flashed Android Revolution HD 5.2.6, but the lock screen is still giving me the same message. Is this a problem with the SIM card, or my phone? I also had the same problem when I got the phone, when I upgraded with a dumbphone from AT&T to the Inspire 4G, and AT&T had to give me a new SIM card. Also, the contact size for the SIM card is smaller on my AT&T 4G SIM, so I don't know if that might be of any help. Thanks!

My first assumption would be that whatever language the card is written in, the phone isn't able to translate. But I don't even know if that's a real thing or not either. So this post was pretty much pointless in helping you understand your problem.
I'm sure someone smarter will be by soon with some insight.
*insert sig here*

Not all GSM phone services are 100% intercompatible. I don't have any idea how you would find out, but a good start might be to call a rep at Taiwan Mobile.

[Q] Best way to transition from regular sim card to micro Tmobile US LTE?

I am about to get the phone once it is processed. I am using an old galaxy s 4g with a regular sim card. I also have a 2 year old unused micro sim card. I wanted to know if it's best cutting the regular card to a micro sim card or activate the old unused micro sim card. Or do I have to get a newer micro sim card from t-mobile. If I do either the first two methods, will I still have lte even though they are not the newer sim cards? I have read that even if you activated the newer sim cards at a tmobile store that people didn't still get 4g(Lte) but instead got the H/H+. Others are saying that the phone or the account needs to be provisioned. I am under as an added line under my mothers account which is only a few months old if that matters. Thanks in advance.

T-Mobile doesn't need any provision. If I was you, I would personally just get a new Micro SIM, you ensure that you have the newest and latest SIM card which will ensure that you'll have the best possible experience in LTE data and cellular signal.
Call them up and they'll give you a free SIM replacement in the mail, or you can go to the store. Very easy to do.
If you did cut your sim card into a micro sim, you wouldn't get LTE with that old of a SIM card. Enjoy your phone.

To get LTE you will need an LTE enable/capable SIM card, so get a new one from Tmobile
