Hi every one , i have been running my htc inspire 4g on the orange network here in the uk for a few years now & i want to go on the 3 network but when i put the 3 sim into the phone i get the "does not support this sim message" i bought the phone unlocked in florida a few years ago and its been a great phone. it also works fine with o2 sim & vodaphone sim but what puzzels me is that when i scan for available networks it picks up the 3 network. Just wondered whether rooting the phone would help[. thanks for any advise.

He guys
Here is the question straight forward, I bought a used US Cellular HTC Touch Pro 2 from someone who uses the phone on a CDMA network while i will have to use it on a GSM network the seller said that there is a SIM slot underneath the battery which he never used, Will this phone work on my GSM network outside U.S. and will that phone be unlockable?
thanks in advace
HTC website
HTC website doesn't say anything about GSM support for this phone "US Celleular Touch Pro 2"
any ideas guys???
The touch pro 2 is a world phone and yes it has a sim slot (at least the sprint/verizon models do). I unlocked my phone in the U.S. and used it on AT&T with my buddies sim card, the only problem was that the radio is does not have the 3G frequencies for the U.S. you might have to research if this holds true out side the U.S. since every other country uses a different frequency set for 3G access.
Also plz tone down the font size
ya the seller satated that the phone has a SIM slot then i should assume that it can be used hopefully, and the 3G is frequinces is supported by this phone over here in Egypt and i should be fine.
sorry about the font

I recently bought an unlocked Google Nexus S from amazon. The Device works fine on ATT 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?

What network frequencies does Airtel use? If non of them match that could be why, oh and Nexus phones are never network locked
Sent from my ice cream powered Nexus S
Yeah, frequencies should be the reason here.
But only for 3g, the us always being special, especially at&t. ^^ 2g should work worldwide. Set it to "2g only" and see... (if it works, slow data, but at least you can make calls)
I got a Samsung captivate from ATT and it worked also my Galaxy S 4G. All these are quad. band phones so, they work worldwide. Could be some other problem. Got a good deal, so dont want to return it, but I guess I have no option now.
Tried a new sim?
im gonna be going to india in a month or so and i wanted to know if the i9020a will atleast work with voice in india. airtell or vodafone it doesnt matter. I don't need 3g but i was hoping voice would work so i could just use this phone in india.
did you try to reset the phone?
Hi All,
I bought a Tmobile galaxy s blaze 4g (SGH-T769) from HSN last year, it was never activated or used on tmobile. I tried to put a old at&t sim I had in it and it said sim invalid. I get the same message when I put an active Verizon sim in as well.
I used a service online for an unlock code and after following the directions it prompted for pin and it seems to be unlock after entering pin
When I insert the Verizon sim it does not display invalid but it cycles between Verizon APN and Vodaphone NL .
When I try to make a call it said not registered on network
When I put the at&t sim back into the phone, I get the not registered network but am thinking because its an old inactive sim or not?
My issue is I want to use this phone in Brazil this summer so I need it unlocked and right now I am not sure if it really is unlocked?
any ideas?

Just so I get this correctly, Verizon, even though it has a sim, is CDMA network Only. So my my only option to test is a vlid AT&T sim?
Thanks for responding
update
I used a friends at&t working sim and it worked great so the phone is unlocked. I guess the Verizon 4g lte is different frequency anyway plus for some reason I thought it was some form of GSM. lol
ALL good to go here..
thanks
I bought my phone from India around a year ago. I migrated to USA. Here SIM slot 1 is not working at all. I'm not able to get any network. And on SIM slot 2 I'm not getting any internet connection. I'm using t-mobile as my network operator.
Hey everyone. So I recently upgraded from a Sony Z2 to a new gold Galaxy s7 flat. So I recently bought it new from a retailer known as Vodacom (Vodafone) in South Africa. I was asking the guy working there if the phone is sim unlocked and he said 'Yes.' Well i did have a few vodacom phones before, working with other carrier sims overseas, so i trusted him and bought the phone. I live in New Zealand and I was on a flight to nz the same day that i bought the phone (Because in South Africa the s7 is much cheaper + you get a free Galaxy tab 3 lite witht the deal). So when i arrived in nz, i got me a Vodafone (Not vodacom) sim card and inserted it ito the phone. I got full signal bars but no 3g or 4g or internet in general. When i booted the phone up, it didn't ask for a network code or anything, and the Vodafone SIM app did suddenly appear on my phone, so I have no idea what's really wrong with this thing. My mobile data is on and limit are all off. Please help me! Regards

Sounds like you need to configure your APN settings.
