Hello people, I'm trying to use a Claro sim card on my Personal phone (both carriers are argentinian), but can't get it to work.
The Claro card works on other phones. Mi xt925 is running CM 10.1.3 and the correct baseband (100700.220.62.33p).
It even showed me the gsm menu from Claro but no option worked, and still have no signal and get "Network not available" error.
I get something about the sim can be registered in Claro Argentina (as I said, the sim is working with no problem on other phones) when tryng to choose network.
I already have and unlock code, and don't have another sim (from a different carrier) to test it.
Is there anyway to force the phone to ask for the code?
EDIT: In case someones gets to this post, I fixed it going back to stock rom by using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38190729.
I put my sim card in and automatically asked me for the code.

I tried this with 3 different wm6/6.1 roms, but everything works except the phone. I cannot unlock the sim card. It complains "unknown sim status", I know this sim card works, because I tried it in another phone. I have a vodafone dual sim card and if I swap them around, it always works in my motorola phone, but never in my wizard 9100.
Here is some info
IP/SPL2.26 2.26
gsm 0.2.47.11
11.0.1.0
rom version 11.0.0.2 WWE
protocol 4.1.13.24
I am pretty sure my sim lock is removed, but to make sure I reran the lokiwiz, which did not seem to matter.
Does anyone have a clue ?
Same deal to me, and with a Vodafone SIM too
The unlock code works and then when I type the PIN, the "Unknown SIM status" is always appearing.. grrr
If anyone with a vodafone card found out the solution, please let me (or us) know
Here vodafone sim works fine. No issues of phone, pin or whatever. Did you try with another vodafone SIM?
Hello.
I bought D2G from ebay last month.
It was locked and has bad ESN.
And I unlocked D2G using turbo sim card from ebay.
That item number is 200539432676 and you can search it just type "no cut unlock sim card".
And maybe you can unlock it follow these steps.
0. You need prepare local carrier's sim card, another local phone, D2G
1. Put your sim card in local cellphone and turn on. After it receive signal, pull out the battery and your sim card. (Do not turn off the cellphone before pull out the batt. and sim)
2. Put your sim card on locked D2G with turbosim.
3. Turn on D2G and change the network mode (if you need) and set up the APN
4. Check the data roaming
Settings - Wireless & networks - Data manager - Data delivery - Data roaming
After that, My D2G work with roaming mode. I can use calling, text messaging and 3G internet service thru GSM/UMTS mode.
(I'm living in South Korea and local carrier provide wcdma hsdpa service.)
But my unlocked D2G have two problems.
1. When I use other local sims with turbosim, it's not work. I guess this turbosim
has compatible problem. (Maybe newer sim will not work.)
2. I only can receive incoming call and message(text and MMS) when my D2G was connected on "H"(Hsdpa). I cannot receive that things when signal turned to "3G".
I cannot use D2G for main phone.. Is there any way to connect HSDPA only? I tried to find some apps for do that, but there is no apps for it. If anyone know about the way, Please help me!
Thanks for read my post and please understand my poor english skill
TurboSIM is not the way to go. There are problems with incoming calls not going thru, losing service every now and then/etc
You should really try to unlock the phone by code. Have you tried online unlockers? You may be lucky your phone not to be from the locked down ones and to unlock with ease. Give it a try!

I already got code from Ebay seller, and it dose not work.
And now I'm in South Korea so turbosim is only one way unlock it.
And I guess I can use my D2G with turbosim if I can connect Hsdpa only.
Is there any way to do that?
Rrecently bought my 3rd opo. So this one will not let me hse my att sim. It keeps saying "sim card does not allow a connection to this network" wtfff. Im very sure the sim is in right. Contacts facing the back. Im using a unlocked lg g2 with the same sim and it works fine. I domt know what the heck. The "no sim" icon dissapears when i insert the sim. Jut no service at all.HELP.
Att user
Sim works in other phones.
Also i cant add a APN. and the APN list does not show up after sim is inserted.
I HAVE ALREADY RESOTORED FACTORY IMAGE.
I purchased a S6 on EE a week ago. Has been working fine with an ee sim, however I have not made any calls or texts yet, just using the phone for Internet on wifi etc.
I have a regular three sim which I would like to use so I have trimmed it down with scissors and this made me cut part of the gold contact bit off (I read online this shouldnt affect the sim).
I'm guessing this phone is locked as when I insert the sim it detects a new sim has been inserted, it makes me restart too. Upon booting up however it says no sim card/ emergency calls only however I see a solid connection. I cannot make any calls as it says not registered to a network or something.
Now my question is that is the phone picking up the sim card? If yes why is it not prompting me with a sim unlock code screen? Secondly is my phone not detecting the sim card at all? Is that the reason why I am not prompted with a unlock code screen? All help is appreciated. Thank you.
Go onto settings, then onto Mobile Networks, then Network Operators, then Search Networks then click the Three carrier. It will take a few mins to search for all the networks so do not back out.
I want to use a FreedomPop SIM card (T-Mobile network, I think) in my G900P for cell service, but I can't seem to get it to work.
With the phone stock, it displays the message "Invalid SIM" after inserting the SIM card. Switching to GSM doesn't seem to help. Also in the stock state, the phone displays "UNBLOCK" under the *#0011# info, and never asks for an MSL code (which I have).
I rooted the phone and put Cyanogenmod 13 on it, but still can't get GSM service. Cyanogenmod doesn't warn that the sim is "invalid," but even after setting to GSM mode (using *#*#4636#*#*), the network just won't connect.
(I also manually set the APN with everything I've tried.)
Is this phone even capable of using its SIM slot for GSM?
Thanks

If the phone isn't stolen and is paid off, simply call sprint for a domestic unlock. i just called about an hour ago to unlock an s5.
and if theyre being obstinate, you can always go to idoneapps.com and purchase an unlock there. Ive used it twice and it worked flawlessly, plus their unlock apk autoselects the apn for you and allows for debranding and data icon changing. I know the last 2 things can be done via other methods, but they just make it a 1 click thing. Pretty nice app

almost forgot, @stifilz can do the unlock too. He doesnt charge, but a donation to him for doing it is always a good thing
