[Q] Application licenses vs Sim card

Hi,
My phone is unlocked to use a Sim from Rogers and AT&T.
Will Android software I purchased while using one Sim card still work when I switch to the other Sim card?

You can probably imagine why, lol.
Verizon wants to get their money.

This is possible with two 4G phones that use the same size sim. For example the S3 and any 4G phone with the smaller sim or the thunderbolt and rezound with the larger sim. Just take it out of one phone and pop it in the other.

This plus for example. If u have a smaller dim card like the nexus or s3. You can get and adapter son it will fit inside of a phone that requires a bigger sim.... I made my own out of note cards to use in a thunderbolt at work. You can always turn off the 4g phone and call to activate the droid pro..... problem is the second u do that your sim is no longer usable and u will need a replacement

There is mixed rumors about the SIM. Talk Android suggested it would be nano while the leaked service manual stated it was micro. To connect the device to a HDMI output, you can use this. http://mobile.walmart.com/m/phoenix...pter-Micro-USB-to-HDMI-Adapter-White/21648657. You may be able to find cheaper alternatives elsewhere.

That adapter will not work. Nexus devices use SlimPort not MHL.

After it fails to go through, just scroll to the bottom of the agreement and click submit, rather than entering your card number again. I was going through the same thing and it worked for me after three attempts.

AT&T sim cards

Hi All, I have an LTE provisioned line. The phone is a GS2 SKYROCKET. Can I just go to AT&T and get the smaller sim card that the Nexus 5 requires. Or do I have to perform major Surgery on my rocket card? Thanks in advance!

go into a ATT store and they will give you one..
I used one of those punchout cutters to cut the SIM card from my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket down to a MicroSIM. Worked with no problems in the N5, I'm running on LTE, etc. Less hassle for me than going to a store, and at least I had a SIM card that I knew would work!
Cool, thanks to both of you.

Could it be your SIM card occasionally loses contact with the phone because it's a bit loose?
Just get a new sim card.

Id take the sim card out and wipe off the contacts a bit. Make them nice and shiny and then put it back in.

I wonder if its a hardware issue. If I close it I still have signal. No need to restart

Get a new sim from your carrier.
I had the same problem, eject the sim card and put it back in, make sure it's all the way in. It has not happened since I did that.
yea, seems like a contact issue, try reseating the sim, if that doesn't help i'd just go to att and ask for a new card
