Hi folks. i have this prob and trying to find the solution.
I can receive MMS from overseas BUT i cannot send them. In US all is fine but not international..All settings are fine as well as data settings. Any idea ? it says "pending" in the message status and never goes
It happens with all my international contacts in different carriers. I have not be able to sent mms international all tho i have try several times, with 3 different countries, one was Romania, the other was Italy and the other was Greece. I'm more interested for Greece (my relatives are there), i have receive several mms (mostly pics) from them, from different providers ( Vodafone, Wind, and Cosmote) but every time i send one (in any of their carriers) never goes through and getting a permanent "pending" under status of mms. I have use the standard message app that came with my phone (LG G2X) as well and other apps like Handcend sms, but none goes through. Here in US all good, but not international. so i'm wondering if there is a special setup i have to do in the phone for that or our carrier have restrict this feature.. This problem is ONLY with MMS and NOT with SMS since all sms i have send there are going all through). My data program is unlimited as well and the messaging. On T-Mobile network full signal and 4g when i try. G2X is rooted but stock Rom. I have try most of troubleshooting (reboot, airplane manual set carrier etc) with no results. T mobile support says all working ok with network. Any info on settings or how i can fix this will be greatly appreciated. . Thank you in advance.

Hm.. I spoke with T-mobile the other day since I'm leaving for Australia in a couple of weeks, and they had to initiate some kind of "unlock" process so that the G2x could operate on international networks (assuming I understood them correctly). I don't know if this is simply for use outside the US or for use between other countries and the US.
But, at the time, my G2x was rooted, running Paranoid Android CM10 (build 8?). They asked for my IMEI number and things went along without a hitch. Don't know if this helps but I'm thinking there might have to be some kind of activation process to allow the phone to communicate internationally.

Thanks for the reply BUT my phone its already unlocked to work internationally (every provider that finances a handset locks it so you cannot use it with another carrier b4 the contract expires and if you need to use it then they send you an unlock code).
My problem is this : I can receive MMS from overseas BUT i cannot send them. and i'm based in US.
Thanks again in advance.

Sorry about that - I seem to have missed the part where you can still receive overseas...
If you're phone is already unlocked to use internationally, then I don't know what else could it be since you've tried both stock and 3rd party message apps. Have you tried sending via wifi?

Your ability to get 3g will depend on if the phone supports the frequency american 3g is on. A lot of foreign phones don't
I had a hard time getting to cell me a data package too for my phone since I bought it unlocked. The a holes act like "if its not ours we cant guarantee it will work!" then they wouldn't cell me a data package except the crappy medianet one (I should have been dishonest and taken it, would saved $15 a month for the same service). Called back, got a different rep, gave him the IMEI number, told him it was a PDA, went smoothly.
Hey XDA Community, I am getting married next year (June) and my honey and I are thinking about going to Ireland. My Infuse is currently rooted and I "THINK" the sim is unlocked. Is there a ROM I can Flash that is stable or semi Stable and be able to make International call home?
It seems there's a handful of cell phone carries in the Ireland: Vodaphone Meteor Three O2 Tesco 48Months
I know I Could Simply add international to my at&t account or just buy calling cards. My plan was to flash an International ROM before we leave or once we get there and pop in a pre-pay sim card and i'm good to go....
Thanks in advance for any information on this topic....
If u are on stock or any custom rom u will be able to use ur phone on any international GSM providers the only thing u will have to look is ur phone should be sim unlocked for other sim cards. U can check the status by typing *#7465625#.

The main thing is that it's unlocked. Once you get there, buy a SIM card from wherever (I've bought mine from Tesco while in Britain), pop it in your phone, set it up and you should be more or less good to go. Most of them have an international calling option. I can't remember the details of the deal I got, but basically it cost £11 for the SIM and basic pay-as-you-go plan. The plan includes, calls, mms, sms, and data - Oh! One little trick they pull (Tesco anyway): make sure you sign up for calls, data, sms etc. on their website. If you just use your £10, it'll be gone in a flash. If you sign up, you'll have plenty to go on... I used Skype to call home, btw.
A couple of warnings though: you'll probably have to manually enter the correct mms/sms info. For reasons I do not understand, I had all kinds of problems with the connection. I would completely lose the signal (like when I was out in the countryside or on the tube) and was not able to get it back without rebooting the phone. Maybe I've got a borked phone - it works fine in the States, but it was a PITA while travelling. I found that the kernel made a little difference too. Entropy's 3/4 kernel did not work well, the InfusionB (1400 OC) was better. For all of this, I was using Dman's Deodexed, zipaligned, rooted, etc. stock Gingerbread.
I just unlocked my infuse by modifying the nv_data.bin file. I was going to write up new instructions. As the one in development thread is old and doesn't work with cm9/10. However I am unsure if it is a one size fits all. I would need a few people to test it.
Edit: the other method might work for cm/10. I just didn't go that route

Great now ur phone is a free bird can go anywhere
The infuse unlock tool works only on Froyo will not work on version after froyo, Have used it many times, For user who want to unlock and are on GB and higher should use the other method.

Thanks for the info on Tesco, I'll check more into them and the other carriers.
Ask att if they will unlock the phone. If not you can use one of the paid sites if your not comfortable finding your own unlock code. I think I paid 15 bucks for my unlock code online. Threw a T-Mobile sim in it, punched in the code. Phone said it was unlocked. Finished out my last few days on att then moved to Germany. I've been running o2 ever since. I have been on Zeus, emann, uniporn, and cm10. I am probably forgetting a few. As for international calling, just load up some money onto a Skype account and call with that. Or if the people you are calling have smart phones have them download viber. I use viber to call friends in the States all the time. Its free. Also for texting I use whatsapp and kick messenger. I don't remember the last time I used the actual phone and messenging app on this phone. Everyone I talk to has smart phones.

Tesco is on O2 in Britain, I believe it's the same for Ireland too. When I was trying to work out the MMS problem, I stumbled across the Tesco Ireland site. It seemed to be much more useful than the site for GB! Figures. Definitely check their coverage and, if possible, ask people there what they prefer. I was in a dead(ish) zone for nearly a week! 2G, choppy calls, and no MMS. Luckily the man next door had just painted his wall and allowed me to watch it dry while my phone loaded Google News.
Hello,
I purchased a HTC One M7... PN071?
The seller said it was originally from Australia And would work in the UK if I put my APN settings in.
He also said it was unlocked.
I have put the APN settings in and im still unable to access:
Internet
Receive or make Phone calls
BUT i am able to send and receive Text Messages
There is a 'R' above the signal bars as well which means roaming is something.
I will attach screenshots of the settings.
Also worth to mention that I'm on Three UK monthly (contract)
If anybody could help resolve this issue it would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks Kyle.
Hi,
I have a fairly recent HTC One Mini which I bought off a friend so I have no proof of purchase for it.
It was working fine with calls / texts / data apart from a few texts from iPhone devices.
I removed my number from iCloud on all devices and phoned up apple for them to remove me from their phone list.
Phone was still working fine and I could text / phone / use data no bother.
Then one day it decided to stop receiving and sending any texts and phone calls.
The data is still working fine and connects to the network.
I went to my service provider who provided me with a new sim card. I tried the sim card in a different old phone and it works fine with texts and calls.
I put this sim in my HTC One Mini and it still does not work with texts and calls but connects to the network fine and works fine with data…
Any ideas on why this might be?
I was going to try and downgrade the software to 4.3.1 or something but after reading all the different steps I have to go through I might just end up getting another phone and trying to fix this whenever I actually have some time to loose on this!
If anyone has any ideas as to whether it might be software / hardware issue it would be great… seems like an odd one since I can use the data fine but the rest won't work?!
Cheers in advance for any suggestions...
Have you tried Factory Reset?

Yes I have.
I am starting to believe the phone might have been reported stolen / blacklisted as it seems to do that for others too after some more research… however when I check on a free imei checks websites the imei seems fine...
I think you're running Stock Rom without any modifications, am I right? Did you tried a SIM by another provider yet?

Yes It is the original ROM and no modifications.
I have a feeling the person I purchased it from might have been nice for a few weeks and then decided to report it stolen and make it blacklisted however when I check online it is not a blocked IMEI so I am unsure what to do…
Would there be a fix to this or would I just need to sell it for parts / use without the network?
Any help appreciated, thanks in advance
Who's your service provider? Sprint, by any chance ?

Hi,
Just bought today the verizon variant of the galaxy s6, and I need help with a couple of questions:
I'm moving to Europe in the near future, would I still be able to use the phone?
From who do I get software updates? Will I get updates from verizon even if I'm abroad?
Would it be able to flash international firmware on this phone in the future? Are the models fundamentally different from each other or are they just handicapped by firmware?
Thanks in advance

Yes it works internationally, I'm using it on GSM right now and plan to use it in Egypt over the summer. You will get updates but I think verizon needs a verizon sim to check for updates but when one releases you can always check through a computer if you need to. As far as I know verizon one is the bay because it supports CDMA radios and GSM radios and comes pre unlocked while other versions like tmobile only support gsm. That's the only hardware difference, the rest is all software.
Also be careful with your phone! Nor sure where in Europe yuppie going but some classes visited Spain recently and lots of them we're pickpocketed and had something stopen.

So just to clarify, I can just purchase an EE nano sim card from amazon, take my s6 to london, pop it in, and it should work? I don't have to call Verizon before hand to get it network unlocked?

Correct. You may have to set up apns for data though. But text and voice should work out the box.
What can I do to use the GSM network, 3G !!!!

3G only for China Unicom. Add the APN of Unicom and then H+ will work.

920V is different from the international version. It supports very few LTE bands and i'm not sure it supports as many 2g/3g bands as the internation one. you may have voice but you won't have LTE.

Hi,
Didn't u have the same issue with texting?
I bought my s6 from verizon on a trip in the USA, but I live in UK and using 3 network. The only issue is the texting. I spent lot of time to figure out what is the real problem, and it seems like it is sort of prefix problem. If I receive message from someone with new number with +4407 (obviously all of them start) and I reply, message is not going to be sent and I always get a message: " Your text to speech message to 0114407..... has been rejected by recipient phone." I never use text speech btw, and it definitely prefix problem because if I send to 07... only they receive it. I changed all my contacts to 07... but still after that I couldn't reply to messages for a long time just only with the Handcent next sms app. But If I receive a new message from a new number I'll get with +447.. and I need to save it and change the number to 07.. otherwise it will never work. I found some people had the same issue in the past, but there was no final solutions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106370

How do I add a new APN? I found Settings -> Mobile networks -> Access Point Names but the "Add" button is greyed out
I am seeing it greyed out as well. I was planning on getting UK 3 sim cards for our trip next year.
