straight talk activation - sim not provisioned mm#2 HELP

Howdy - switched my infuse 4g from simple mobile to straight talk today. Activated it by their website. ported my old number over / set the apn / rebooted phone - got message:
"sim not provisioned mm#2"
I'm sure that just means the cellular network has not been activated yet.
I unlocked this months ago when i first got the phone and put it on simple mobile - running gingerbread stock - rooted
anybody run into this trouble?

anyone?

it was probably back in march when i unlocked it. It's been so long that I don't remember - probably the same turorial you posted the link to. I had it using simple mobile since then - but switched over to straight talk today because I couldn't handle the edge network anylonger. I seriously doubt just switching the sim would lock it up again.

Just a lil info but really not needed to unlock to run on straight talk.

What sim card did you get from straight talk? A basic sim?
*becoming a flashaholic*

Yea i orderd a standard sim

You need the one that's specifically for unlocked att phones. Atleast, that's what I have and didn't have any problems switching from simple mobile to straight talk.
*edit* sorry, thought that was mook_ response. But that's weird. I tried a basic sim (friend has one) and it told me sim not provisioned
*becoming a flashaholic*

I orderd the standard att straight.talk sim and it worked flawlessly on all phones its been tried on

I bought a sim package and one months of service from Walmart. $59
It was pretty cool it actually came with 3 sims - 1 regular and 1 micro for att and 1 regualr for t-mobile
My original problem of sim not provisioned is solved - it just took 24 hours to port the number from simple mobile to ST and activate it. Love ST - just hope I don't max out the data.

That's a cool deal... I can't find mention of it anywhere online. It would be great to have sims for both networks; it only shows up on straight talk's website and walmarts one sim at a time. Where did you find it?

Wal-mart

Sim not provisioned MM 2
Hello xda developers,
I have flashed cwm recovery (for xperia M) in my M dual c2004 device. First thing it says is "Sim not provisioned MM 2" What is this? I think Xperia M is not a dual sim variant so the CWM designed for M does not support 2nd SIM? i think so.
Now I have flashed CWM recovery designed for M dual C2004. I successfully rooted my phone. Yippeeee.
My actual doubt is - if i flash xperia's kitkat firmware in my Xperia M dual device, will i be able to use my 2nd SIM?
What best can i do if i want a kitkat firmware which supports dual sim on my M dual c2004 phone?

Unlock sim Att HOX

I'm new so stick with me, I want to unlock
My One X to work on straight talk but here's the problem, bought on att but I no longer have service and my att account is in bad standing. They canceled my account for me. So does that mean that even if I unlock the phone it won't work or will it? I want to know before I pay for the micro sim.

Its been reported by several folks on here that the phone does not need to be SIM unlocked to work on Straight Talk, as long as you pick the AT&T SIM when you sign up.

Straight Talk uses the same towers as At&T, so the At&T SIM will definately work.

This, it is the only way. I have heard that T-Mobile will give the codes out if you say that you are going out of the country for a vacation or something of that nature.
Also, the T-Mobile version works with ATT's HSPA+ data, but not the other way around. Just so you know.

Sim unlock would be the way crazy vato as mentioned above.. however, without the correct xml files you'll never get 4gee or mms capability... You can set the apn and get interwebs but mms will be a diff story... I just spent a ****wad of time moettling with a att windows mango phone and got lucky enough to somehow make the xml files writeable to change them from att to tmo... Good luck holmsdog.. let us know the result..
Also, make sure the s3 even supports the upper end frequencies needed for the mms support dudeholms

Straight talk port.

I just activated a att straight talk Sim and tried to port my number from T-Mobile prepaid but it did not work and it just gave me a random number. Am I able to still port my number into straight talk over the random number? Thanks

Yes but unfortunately you have to call there horrible customer service.
< Coming to you live from the planet One X >

So I got the port over. But now my phone is stuck on the old number. And that number no longer has service since they moved it to my ported number. So online it shows my account with service and my ported number but my phone/sim doesn't see that the number was ported and still has the old number which has been deactivated. Any solution? Thanks

Sometimes the port can take a while. You can try turning on/off Airplane mode (to disconnect / reconnect to the network) and see if it accepts a call to the ported number.

When I call the ported number it doesnt ring it just goes straight to this. It says "I'm sorry but the person you have called has not set up voicemail yet "
I have even tried factory resetting the phone and still won't update to the ported number. You think I need another Sim for that number?

They warn you that the port can take up to 48 hours. I work at Walmart and deal with this all the time

OK so you're just saying I just have to wait it out. And the changes will eventually be pushed to my phone? Because it already canceled my T-Mobile account and so I don't have service right now and its kinda Scarry seeing I drive a lot and have an old car. Don't wanna break down without any cellular service. Thanks

Some devices has an option to update firmware, software, system up dates and PRL. If not there are manual methods doing it from the dialer for example ##1234##. That kinda thing but I'm not sure on the nexus.

there is no option for firmware update. i also tried tried the #1234# and just get "invalid MMI code". I have also tried a factory reset and nothing...not sure whats going on. My number is on my account online but not active on my phone...its so annoying lol...is there a chance it just needs more time to push the new number to the sim? thanks

For one the number thing was an example lol didn't mean for you to try it and yes I had a straight talk service take 31 hours to push through but it is odd cuz it should come pretty immediately

called straight talk, they said that my number was active but was not working because a sim card can only ever have one number assigned to it. So i went online and ordered another sim card and then i can call in and put my number on the new sim.

[Q] VZW m8 to stright-talk

Hey everyone let me start off by saying if this has been reposed I did a search but could not get a "how-to" on the process
So i recently got a new phone and i have my old HTC one m8, my best friend is stuck in the stone age with a very old smart phone so i said "lets make his day". Before i do though i have some questions he uses straight talk as a carrier and since the VZW htc one m8's are primary CDMA but also have a SIM card and can run off of GSM towers (yes they can only use 3g). Is it possible to run this phone off of straight talks network if so where would i start?
I guess my main questions are:
Do i need to flash a AT&T rom?
even though its a vzw phone do i need to flash new radios?
do i need to alter my CID?
The phone is S-offed and rooted!
My bad if this is a poorly constructed thread, just needed to ask!

It is possible to run through straight-talk (i did a lot of dev work on st earliest androids) you need to have unlocked devices and get the byop SIM card for att. Not sure what size SIM these phones take.
Also... St has no network they just lease tower usage.
Not sure about the Rom though... Never done a Verizon to att switch.
Last edit... Your data cap is far from unlimited and they're not cool with tethering. They claim unlimited but at 2gb I believe they start throttling bad and are known to cut data and service for habitual offenders *I've read but not seen*(iirc)
I've been off st/net10 for a long time so their practices could have changed. I would advise you not to go st but that's just my opinion.

You can get the straight talk verizon sim kit and pop it in your verizon m8 and your up and running, it will use verizon towers everything the same just you will have a 5mb cap on your data speed but you will get verizon LTE data and with st verizon you will get 3 full gb's of LTE data for $45 a month unl talk & text.
If you try to use at&t you will not get LTE data only hspa which hspa can go from I believe 4mb's to 12 mb's download speed. Your better off getting the st verizon sim kit and run verizon through st.

He mentioned that yes but I also mentioned that he would not get at&t LTE data on his verizon m8 that he would most likely only get hspa data speeds using at&t. People have worked hard getting a verizon m8 to get LTE data on tmobile some with success but most say they have to keep toggling air plane mode to keep the tmobile LTE data working, and there are very little far fewer success stories of people even getting that far with at&t LTE data on a verizon m8.
Basically the best thing is either run the straight talk verizon LTE sim card in the verizon m8 or sell off the verizon m8 and get an at&t one or a tmobile one and even then you can convert it to a dev edition and get updates faster directly from htc.
No one has figured out a way to convert a verizon m8 to a dev edition even though the verizon m8 is a world phone with cdma and gsm both, for some reason you cant because of the cdma side.

I"am running my verizon m8 on straight talk verizon service and mine works great. Does your verizon m8's imei show clean for activation with verizon ? Because if your imei is blacklisted with verizon it wont work or may for a while until their system picks it up and locks out your sim card because of it.
Its really just as simple as popping the st verizon sim in and run with it, unless your not fully activated with straight talk ? If you ported your number in it can take a day or so even and if the port has issues it may not finish until you call straight talk about it.
Any questions just ask as I have experience with straight talk and my m8 works great on it.

The whole 1-7 days on a port is a claim by them they generally stick to. Though 95% of carriers do it in 24-48hrs tops.. twice with net10 I had to finally just get a new number to get service (which included buying another unlimited card). I'm not against st/net10/AmericanMovil I just have had too many experiences like the above trying to work with their customer service.

well the full story is i got a nexus 6 still had my htc one m8 thought i would give it to my friend, i popped the verizon sim card in and tried to register it but on straight talks website it informs me that it is not a compatible device, so before my friend proceeds in adding minutes to this new sim card he wants to make sure it will work.

Oh they tried that crap with me and I didnt take no for an answer I got through to a supervisor and I explained either they restore my 30 days of unlimited service or I file a charge back with my credit card company and they changed their tune and credited my account.
They get away with doing that too many times you can also tell them you will file a complaint with the better business bureau, or even talk about turning them in for internet fraud because it is a pure case of fraud when they wont give you the service that you paid for pure and simple.
I have ported numbers to straight talk 4 or 5 times over the years and it usually took mine less than a day to go through. Many times the problem can be the wrong account number as most people think their phone number is their account number when porting to another carrier and 98% of the time its not your account number you always have to call your cell provider and ask for your account number they like it that way because when you ask for your account number they know why your asking for it and they can try to talk you out of switching to another carrier.

Did you put the imei number in on the straight talk web site ? Because their web site will tell you if its ready for activation or if its elgible for activation. You can also check your imei on one of the free imei checker web sites and it will show the status of your imei number as far as being ready for activation.

Yeah... I spent 9 days and probably 30 phone calls talking to everyone I could get to including supervisors before I finally gave up out of frustration and just bought a new card (2 different occasions 9 days total). What I've found is their biggest issue is with Sprint numbers. At&t and tmobile seem to port easier. I've never worked with Verizon through st/net10.

You can also activate your sim in another verizon phone then put it in the m8 or just use another clean verizon imei to order the service with. Actually straight talk is easy to port to, now porting out of them now that is a real pain and takes longer. Straight talk is not a lot of fun to deal with but if you get it set up your free and clear and shouldnt have any further issues.

Do you have a friend that has a verizon phone that takes a nano sim ? If so just use their imei number to order the sim kit from straight talk it wont matter because that is just a verification to make sure your phone will work but I assure you the verizon m8 will work with the straight talk verizon sim cards.
Another thing you could do is just buy the st verizon sim card kit off ebay or amazon then just open the account on the st web site and activate your sim card number adding it to your new st account.

I appreciate the response but I wasnt the one having issues I was simply explaining my experience and putting the SIM in a different device won't help port a number. St May have gotten better but ime over two years of their android service it's best to just change your number. Outside of porting I've never had issues with them.
