I unlocked my MyTouch 4g (Glacier) and I want to use my Verizon sim card in it but it does not detect Verizon in the network operators. How do I get verizon on there? Is it possible? I thought unlocking it would allow me to do this.

Verizon does not use 'SIM' cards
as 'SIM' cards are used for GSM networks and Verizon is a CDMA provider

I did google this extensively. The phone that I have here is on the verizon network and has a sim card. Why would I make that up?

Verizon is a CDMA network. The SIM card is there because the phone you have also has a GSM radio for traveling overseas. However, just because it says "Verizon" on the SIM card doesn't mean your phone connects to Verizon when you roam. It's actually connecting to Vodafone when you're roaming in most countries. That's what the SIM card slot is for. Now if you unlocked that phone, you could use it on T-Mobile or AT&T if you set it to GSM Mode.
That Verizon phone will work in the US and Canada whether or not that SIM card is in there. It's impossible to get a GSM phone (your MyTouch 4G) to work on a CDMA network (Verizon).

Thank you for the real explanation and not being a jerk about it, as I did not know this.
It sucks that I cant use it but now I know.
hi all,
i have a xt912 - original carrier - Verizon USA. I am trying to use it in India. I have tried both CDMA as well as GSM sims in it. When CDMA inserted, it shows no sim(sim is shown as crossed in network notification area). When i insert GSM it tries to search network and restarts repeatedly until it shows No Sim. Please confirm if this error is due to subsidy lock on this phone. Should i buy an unlock code?
Hello, I have Samsung-SGH-i317 from AT&T, had it unlock here in the philippines and currently using globe postpaid plan. Regular sim works with sms, calls, wifi, data. However, tried using an LTE sim and data is no longer working. Im getting "insert SIM card to access network services" error when trying to on mobile network. Same error when trying to open globe apps. Please assist on having data enabled using LTE sim. Thanks in advance!
I am unlocked and I am on mobile share plan that allows tethering. I have no problem tethering in the US with my ATT SIM card.
However, when I use another SIM card (for data in europe), I get a message "authentication was unsuccessful" when trying to activate the hotspot.
If I put the same SIM into my galaxy S4, have no problem activating the hotspot and tethering.
Any idea what's going on? Clearly the foreign SIM is fine. And the phone is capable of tethering (on ATT).
You might need to unlock the tethering hotspot, look in the at&t lg g3 general forum, for a thread titled "LG G3 D850 unlock Mobile Hotspot tethering noroot" Thread by nhusby, can confirm this worked for me on my stock H810 with a USA net10 sim card
Recently Verizon Galaxy S6 or S6 edge good deals often appear on slickdeals.
I would like to buy Verizon Galaxy S6 if good deal appear.
But now I transferred to T-mobile, i wonder that Verizon Galaxy S6 can enable mobile hotspot (Wifi Ththering) function without Verizon sim card.
My wife have Verizon LG G3 and I put the my t-mobile sim card, it caught signal. But it won't enable mobile hotspot and error message popup with following message
"Not a Verizon sim card. Please contact to Verizon Wiress customer....Need a Verizon simcard in order to work. ...............Blah blah"
Who can success mobile hotspot enabled on T-Mobile or ATT or any MVNO network without root/foxfi ?
I known that latest Samsung Galaxy can enable Mobile hotspot without verizon simcard.
