i am currently traveling around and i have bought the sim unlock code for the Infuse and it works great. i can use the sim cards from Taiwan and South Africa without a problem.
But the 3G capability on the sim cards are not working on the Infuse. i tried with my other phone i bought unlocked GS2 (international version) and the 3G was working great
do i need to root in order for the Infuse to be able to connect to 3G with other country's sim card? or i just need to do some setting on the phone?
please help, it's annoying carrying this big phone and unable to use it properly
thanks
You will probably need to put in the correct APN settings for your carrier. Many of the other ROMs will update the APN automatically, but the stock
ROM does not.

As PVD04 said thats an APN problem, go into google and search for the company you like for example i use 3g here in mexico and i typed " Telcel APN configuration" (Telcel is my carrier)
Do the same for your carrier on the country you currently are, then go into--->Settings--->Wireless and network--->Mobile Networks--->APN (access Point Names) and configure a new one typing the data you found about your overboard carrier.
That will fix it.
Also... i know its already done but... you dont need to buy the unlock code" many samsung phones can be unlocked for free Infuse can, searchf or the "how to unlock" thread next time =)

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?
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 unlocked motorola pro xt610 and its unlocked and still wont work with att, t-mobile or simplemobile, put sim card in says "no service" already switch it to gsm/utms and tried in Gsm only still wont work. Tried searching available networks nothing happened.
How did you unlock it? What service did you use to unlock it? How do you know for sure it is unlocked? Tell us US the whole story. I am waiting for my sim cards right now.anything that you can share would be a big help.

Hey y'all,
I'm helping a friend out working on his phone for him. Im out here in teh carribean presently and his phone is a Tmobile G2X and he has been using a digicel simcard in his phone. He is wanting to switch to a different carrier (LIME).
When we insert a LIME sim the phone shows that teh sim card has a lock pin on it but when he inserts his Digicel sim it doesnt show the phone to be sim locked, i thought maybe the sim was defective so i took the LIME sim from my GNEX and it still shows a pin lock on the sim card but no such ordeal on my phone. no indication of a sim lock
He is currently running Eagles Blood aosp 5 (ics rom) with M6600a-SCAUNTZ-2.0.9720T (MARCH 11) baseband.
Im planning on switching him to AOKP 6.1 or something else along those lines, any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
- Cheers
Only not to switch roms as the aokp for this phone has a lot of problems. If he's happy with eaglesblood leave it alone

Is the T-Mobile G2x unlocked to use LIME? If not it could only read T-Mobile sim cards.
Your GNex comes factory unlocked so it could use any sim

Yes it is unlocked it is using a digicel sim in it but for some reason will not accept any other Sims the previous owner of the phone was using a lime sim but since inserting the digicel sim it won't accept other Sims

Guys, i need help. :|
I am brazilian and i'm about to take a RAZR HD used, but the phone is locked by VERIZON.
Is there any way to unlock the phone?
Help :|
The Droid RAZR HD from Verizon should be Global gsm sim unlocked, meaning you can buy it from Verizon go to Brazil and put a gsm sim card in it and it should work without any problems. No need to unlock it or anything.

But i heard the VERIZON devices is CDMA...they really compatible with GSM network? Your device is verizon, but you use the verizon services?
Hello,
I'm planning to buy a Razr HD too, i'm from India. I once bought the Motorola Photon 4G from eBay India and the network was working fine. I used an Aritel sim card, it was a Sprint device, but since Photon is a world phone it read the SIM. The major problem it had was that the internet wasn't working on it, and the phone had MANY bugs, I couldn't even connect it to WiFi. So, without internet connectivity I just used it as a MP3 Player.
I want to buy Razr HD, and Motorola is not launching it in India so the ebay one is a Verizon Unlocked. I'm pretty sure that the phone will read the sim, but i have my doubts wether it'll connect to the internet or not. Even in your case, I think you will be able to make calls etc. but i have my doubts on data services.
Should I go for it? Or just pick the LG Nexus 4?

well, the owner of the phone has cutted and inserted a micro sim on the razr, but the message "the sim card is from a unknown source" has appeared in the screen :|
Is it a GSM SIM or a CDMA one? Try to re-insert it, or try another carrier. If the phone is locked try unlocking it

Why do these threads continually appear? They have been answered at least a dozen times.
The Verizon model of the RAZR HD is UNLOCKED FOR INTERNATIONAL CARRIERS. No codes are required. If you want to use the Verizon model on a US GSM carrier (ATT/TMobile), you have to do a little hackery.
Yes, you will see an annoying "This SIM is from an unknown source" warning when you start the phone. Press OK to bypass it (or root the phone and freeze the APK that displays that warning.)
I have been to Australia numerous times with this phone -- there is no CDMA anything in Australia -- and the phone works just fine on AU carriers at HSPA+ speeds.
What about the internet connectivity? Data Connection? GPRS settings don't come automatically and dont work manually.

The owner has cutted a GSM SIM and inserted, and the message has appeared. The phone is only locked by Verizon.
I've read on many sites...the Verizon Razr can't be unlocked... i'm confused. :|

I haven't unlocked any phone yet, so I dont know much details. There is an unlocking key which I think the service center guys know about. Not Sure

Did you not read what I said? The RAZR HD, is UNLOCKED OUT OF THE BOX. Do NOT pay a service to unlock the phone. IT IS ALREADY UNLOCKED. No code is required.
Everything works fine internationally (this includes data). You can manually enter APNs if you have to right from the settings page. Just pull out the Verizon SIM, and put in whatever international SIM you want. That's all you have to do. Note the phone uses Micro-SIMs, so you will need to cut a regular SIM down to size or buy a micro one.
The only time you will run into a problem is if you bring it to the US. The radio won't accept an ATT or TMobile SIM. If you fall into this small subset of people, then you will need to change some values in the radio. There's a thread on here somewhere about it.
As I said before, I have been to Australia many times with this thing. During these trips I removed the VZW SIM and used an Australian SIM to avoid Verizon's insane Australian Charges ($5/min voice, $25/MB data.)
