HI there,
My phone is an international one- Unlockedd from the factory. The screen was broken so I had to change it. when I ordered screen from amazon there was an At&t logo on it. So when I replaced it and inserted the SIM, it doesn't show me T-Mobile Network . it just shows me At&t and when I try to connect to it it says "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network" .
is it because the screen has an At&t logo ? . I tried inserting the sim in another phone and it worked and showed me T-mobile in the upper side of the screen.
my Line provider is Simple Mobile.
Thanks.

Your screen has no bearing on what network you can connect to. Also, if you have an international One X, you're posting in the wrong forum. Post in the international one x forum.

I just bought a Nexus S off of someone, who assured me it works with windmobile (in Canada). I pop in my sim card, and it shows 302490 (Wind tower) but whenever I click on it, it'll always say unable to connect at this time.
I did a full factory reset, and multiple reboots, and multiple sim cards (all wind).
Btw, it has an unlocked padlock on the bootup screen, but the person I bought it off of says its never been rooted. Don't know what to make of that.
Someone please help!
I think the unlocked padlock means the bootloader is unlocked. I was having a similar problem to you. Try this link out. It helped me.

Have you changed the network setting for Wind Mobile.
Sent from my Sexy Nexus S, eh?
if it says I9020T on the back under the battery then it is compatible if it says I9020A then its not compatible, simple as that
I recently bought an unlocked Samsung Google Nexus S GT-i9020T from eBay. The Device works fine on TMobile network. When I got it to India and tried inserting an Airtel SIM in it. The phone shows complete Signal strength but says emergency calls only. On the lock screen it says insert SIM.
When I search for available mobile networks it shows my network but unable to connect to it. It does not even ask for unlock code when I insert a SIM from another carrier.
Is this because the phone is locked or is there some other problem?
Compare the IMEI code you can found beneath your battery on a sticker with the one displayed after typing *#06# command in dialer.
If they equal, then it can be an incompatibility problem.
I suppose Nexus S cannot be locked to an operator.

The only lock you (might) have on that phone is the boot loader. Google phones are not carrier locked.
the problem lies elsewhere (I don't know where)
Thanks for the reply, i could see phone status as UNLOCK at Boot loader time, when i insert my sim (INDIA) it is not recognizing the sim/network.
stupid question:
Have you tried with another sim card?

your phone is bootloader unlocked but still it has network lock. unlock it for network(service provider)
GSM nexus devices are not looked to a carrier period.

Hi.
Your phone i9020T is unlocked from factory.
Your SIM tray is broken. It's a common issue if you have tried to insert a micro-Sim adapter.
Look at my EBAY's user "manuelpulgar".
I'm actually selling original ones.
Best whises.

This could be true. If the phone was sim locked, it would give a message. On the other hand, I also use a 9020T I had bought from US and it wasn't locked.
I suggest get it checked at a Samsung service center. Nexus s was officially released in India and Samsung will be able to help you.

I bought a BLU studio 5.5 online via craiglist and when I brought the phone him it says do not detect sim card ? Is this phone locked ?
How can i unlock it in order to use T-Mobile
Everyone is saying the phone should be unlocked but for some reason it is not picking up my simcard which makes me believe the phone is locked. The IMEI came back clean as well.
There are several software methods to write the imei back to the phone

Believe it or not... I have the exact same device. Just slide your sim from SIM Slot 1 and slide it into SIM Slot 2. As far as I know you device isn't locked. I bought mine new from Amazon and I put my T-Mo SIM in the Slot 1 and it doesn't even read the SIM at all.
*Settings>Common Settings>Data Connection (make sure your sim is in Slot 2)>tick your sim (t-mo/at&t)
-OR-
Settings>All Settings>Dual SIM Setting>(Again, you SIM should be highlighted with an orange & white switch on the right of your activated SIM) Now you should see all your SIM's capabilities..Data, Messaging, Voice.

I buy blu studio 4.0 and I updated up to 5.0 and when I reach the updated 5.0 now its doesn't have a signal and saying to the icon simtool kit application not installed.,what would I do to fix it.
Samsung Galaxy S7 UNLOCKED (I bought it unlocked from an AT&T supplier) g930u
just randomly went to use my phone only to find I cannot. Only wifi. Airplane mode won't ever turn off (completely?).
Yes, I have tried to RESET EVERYTHING.
I searched for help all day. To no avail. Only thing I can think of now is to throw the phone in the trash or flash a new rom? Yes, I even tried this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41777704&postcount=50
Apparently I don't actually have wifi calling, but when I disconnect from wifi-it shows wifi calling but won't let me change it? WTF is that? (screen shot below)
All symptoms still point to be carrier locked to me, either that or your SIM card is broken. That little cross symbol next your alarm is when no SIM is detected, or it's not a supported SIM.
SIM works in another phone? If you boot into download mode what model does it say it is, they didn't accidentally sell you a G930A?

I was wondering if it could be that. I have another Sim Card for another carrier I can try, I was waiting to make sure it was not the phone before I tried it. (It effectively switches my phone service once i activate it -which is why i was waiting)
Download mode confirms it is a G930U
