My friend gave me his old Samsung T404G, and I want to use the functions on it like the music player and the camera, but there's no SIM card. It's stuck on the screen saying "Insert SIM", and I can't do anything with it. Is there any way to use the phone's functions without having to pay for a SIM replacement along with a plan?

I have to insert a SIM programmed for the phone in order to access any of the functions. Anyway, I called TracFone and had them sent a blank SIM programmed for the phone, it should be here in a few days. I'll see how that goes.

So my Inspire only recognizes one sim card. I tried giving this phone to my wife, but her sim card wouldn't work on the phone. Says no sim. Went to ATT and tried 3 different sims and still only mine works in the phone. I restored the phone to out of the box condition, and still, her sim doesnt work in it, only mine. Any suggestions?

Umm...check that u are Sim unlock with this: (Point 5) http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
If you are then, is known that not all sim cards are to be used in sim unlocked devices, so if you have the chance try using other than your wife´s to see if it works.
If you are not Sim unlock, you can revert to S-ON and then re run the Hack Kit if you didn´t use it to root yours....:good:
Yeah the Inspire was s off and all that jazz. Running ARHD and tried MIUI and still only accepts my sim card. That's why I returned it to stock to start over. Still only accepts my sim. Wifes ATT sim card doesn't work in it. Super annoying.

Brand new sims.
I tried remembering if I hit Sim Lock while in Hboot by accident before, but not even sure what that does either.

Try a different SIM and see if it works. If it does, then it might an issue with the SIM.

try your simcard and see if it works
We tried a second sim card and it didn't work
So we took it to a store they told us a part of it was broken and it's not available right now

I'm using a Skyrocket and what I'm wondering is if I could pop a sim from a Galaxy tablet or iPad (with sim adapter) into my phone and have data access via the tablet plan associated with the sim. I figured I could use data only with my Skyrocket since Im already in contract with another carrier. Has anyone tried this? Would it work?

Technically I see no reason why it wouldn't work. They may discover you are using the sim in something other then the tablet, & that could cause problems I guess. I would be very careful when using sim adapters, especially if your planning on swapping the sim between two devices on a regular basis. Even with good adapters the slightest bend or pressure placed on the card can dislodge it from the adapter, leading to bent or broken pins trying to remove the card. It happened to me with a carrier bought, not cut, micro sim.
It shouldn't be a problem. The SIMs work, I've done it myself but I'd hesitate swapping a mini SIM very often, that won't last long I'm sure. In fact the lowest cost is a data only plan and using VoIP or paying the per use fees if you rarely need voice.
HELP! I recently switched from AT&T to T-Mobile. I brought a SIM unlock code from cellunlocker.net to use with my HOX. It wasn’t my first time dealing with them - they have a good service over there. When I put the T-Mobile SIM card into my AT&T HTC One X (Rooted, Unlocked Bootloader, S-Off & Super CID). I didn’t get the prompt asking for the unlock code. At first I thought it was the ROM (UrDroid_One_X_ATT_OTA_JB_Odex-evita-1.9) so I put the sock 2.20 back in with no change. I unrooted, then I ran a couple of RUU’s (htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us & RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US_1.85.502.3) with no change. Both AT&T and HTC said that they didn’t know what was causing it. The phone works perfectly too. My question is does anyone know of a code that I could punch into the dialer to get the unlock code prompt window to open? If not is there a way to put S-ON back? Reason is I’m wondering if it could be an issue with no security on (S-ON) hence no security prompt… just a guess.
I SIM unlocked mine with s-off

Sorry man, I'm out of ideas.
you could try inserting the sim while in bootloader..
Some phones have a setting for sim card lock in settings -> security I don't use sense so I can't verify that.
Also, you can try changing the prefered networks in settings.
Hopefully one of these helps?

Yes, I'm positive. It works with an AT&T SIM but when you put in a SIM from another carrier you don't get any bars, you just see a little x. Besides that no prompt window comes up asking for the unlock code as it is supposed to do.

Is there a thickness difference between the att sim and the other one? Was it a custom cut SIM?

No, it wouldn't be the thickness because I've used four different SIM cards (both T-Mobile and Simple Mobile) some cut and some not.
try this app and check sim state; although, I dont know if it works.

how did you unlocked your sim with s-off? I need to unlock mine manually as the prompt is not coming neither
EDIT: lol i figured out the problem. Both accounts from the sims that I was testing were deactivated for non use, and thus I couldn't get any signal. Maybe the same happened to your tmobile sim.
