Hello I am a total newb with switching providers from Tmobile To Consumer Cellular or Att network. I tried using the Sd card that Consumer sent me for my plan and I can't seem to figure out how to switch it to that provider from a non working tmobile network phone. Any one know how to unlock and what else I would need to do to make this phone work with the new provider. Thanks

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 =)

Hi everyone, so i have a verizon galaxy s 3 and I moved to mexico city from LA. i was going to try the sim unlock method that is posted on the development forum but i actually decided to unlock and root the phone first. later i installed the JellyWiz ROM and to my surprise when i inserted the Telcel sim card, it started working.
I later saw that i could make calls/text and received but i had no data at all. i read that i had to input the APN manually so i called telcel and they were nice enough to actually give them to me. after putting the info in, i got a "G" icon and i started to get some data, but it was not 3G and when i drive around town, i only get data sometimes.
since im a new member i cant port a question in the development forum so im stuck doing it here lol does anyone have any ideas??? im not sure if its just the custom rom that is the problem or the verizon phone doesn't have a compatible 3g radio here in Mexico??? im so lost and running out of hacking talent here hahahaha i put in the
Just to let you know this is where all questions go. Also my guess is Verizon probably has different 3g towers.
Aloja search tty searching for the correct modem try to find a modem for your device that is similar to international version XXDLID
This is a total modem issue I suggest look for the iusacell modems they work on wCDMA and CDMA to telcel has no CDMA any more
Or go to telcel and buy the new usim with 4glte that ads all connectivity support

Cozumel?
I too am looking to use a local SIM while traveling to Cozumel. I am running CleanRom 5.0 which is based on VLBK1 JellyBean Leak3.
What do I need to do to get data access while in Cozumel?
OK, so I am not an expert here but I know enough to give information that should help answer my question.
I have a Verizon (CDMA) Samsung Galaxy S3 (SCH-I535). I'd like to use this phone with a NET10 BYOD SIM card, but I'm not sure it will work. By all indications, my phone is a world phone that includes a GSM band. I say that because I can scan and attempt to connect to both AT&T and a local cell company that are both GSM services. In other words, I can select GSM/UMTS as a network option and it appears to work.
Trouble is, I don't have access to a GSM SIM, so there isn't any way for me to test this without spending money on the SIM card. SO in a round about way, I want to know if this will work. Can I buy a NET10 BYOD SIM, select GSM/UMTS under "Mobile Networks" in teh settings, and expect phone, text, and data to work?
I'm especially hoping to hear from people with the SCH-I535 Verizon GS3 if you've ever done this.
If this is not possible, is there any other BYOD SIM program that will allow for phone, text, and data in a CDMA Verizon phone? If so, what is it?
Thanks everyone.
If Verizon has not unlocked the phone off their carrier, then it will not work. (If you have the Jelly Bean Update, then its unlocked) If it is unlocked, then your in luck.
Mind you that I dont have this phone. But your phone is capable of ATT networks. Just avoid T-Mobile networks unless you want to be on EDGE.

Just to make sure I understand, if my phone is Android 4.1.2, then my phone is automatically unlocked and capable of use with an AT&T compatible SIM? And I suppose that includes the NET10 BYOD SIM, or the Straight Talk BYOD SIM for that matter?
How i Just do it con net 10 And is working but just edge .any suggestions settings to enable 4g ???

Did you check your song settings? Make sure you have your phone on global mode as well.
I joined Solavei and have Unlocked my AT&T HTC Inspire 4G.
I put in Solavei SIM and I Setup the Solavei APN as shown by Solavei.
The phone works, MMS and Data works when I have a signal, but when I lose my signal, the ATT Network Carrier seems to try and Take over?
I was told to delete all AT&T info, but I can't find a way to remove AT&T as a Network Carrier? I do not see AT&T when viewing my APN settings, only Solavei.
I have to restart my phone many times in a day to get Solavei to be recognized again.
Anyone else have this issue, or have a way for me to completely remove any AT&T involvement with this phone.
Bootloader unlock or SIM unlock?
Seems like all the help guides have been taken down, I need help doing a sim unlock too. I currently use Tmobile
So this is kind of weird, I recently received a sim card for my E-5, It's a second hand phone that I bought ebay "Unlocked", I used it for a few years with a provider on the Sprint Network, now T-mobile, nothing owed free and clear. My current carrier is telling me based on the fact that the APN are greyed out and same for network controllers with the sim card inserted that the phone has "network restrictions" meaning it's locked to the last network which would be Sprint, I can confirm that since I still have the old sim card and it says sprint on it and when it's inserted there is a signal just no network. I contacted the previous provider and they said I need to contact Sprint to get it unlocked, Sprint has the most stringent requirements to unlock, the tech support at my current provider said I could also do a factory reset and that should remove the network restriction, but I don't want to do a reset if it doesn't work and I have a feeling that's BS. So my question is what's the best way to make my phone work on any network, do I need to root it and than debrand it? I'm a total newb to this part of phone modding, so if someone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it as I have been without cell service for a couple of months now since I lost my other phone. Thanks
