I know someone that bought a second hand phone off facebook / craigs list. She is trying to use it on cricket and it is only connecting to G on her sim card. So I don't think it was meant to be used on that carrier. It does accommodate dual sim cards. Does anyone recognize this phone? http://imgur.com/a/KaFvi
That is, does anyone recognize the manufacturer and model of phone.
It looks like a Samsung not clone. Sorry to say but that maybe the best she gets as those devices only Get better speeds in China.

I read on this forum that the at&t sim card from straight talk would work for my unlocked phone only to find out that it wouldn't and now my number is ported to straight talk and I have no phone to use it for. I went to at&t store today and they plugged in my sim card and it asked for 17 digit number i think and he said it wouldn't work and I was just googling it and it seems like unlocking a cheap phone from the at&t store would work. This is very frustrating for me because I can't just call at&t and ask what there cheapest phone is and google it to see if it can be unlocked and will work because I have no phone and I also can't go to the store and simply google the phone product number to see if will work because I have no phone. any help would be greatly appreciated.
I really need help I'm very stressed out can someone help me? is there a store I can buy a phone from that will work?
What kind of phone did you put the Sim card in? Maybe you put the AT&T Sim into a phone that only uses T-Mobile bands.

Anyone using one on att ??
does att see it as a smartphone? if someone could check by looking at their OLAM if they are using a OnePlus One,id appreciate that. Id like to use one without having to use a dataplan,
Very few people have it, so I don't think anyone is going to know the answer. When I get it, I'll put my SIM in there so AT&T will see it as a HTC One.

hey,thanks for the response. when you get it,could you possibly check with the att OLAM(online account manager) if it shows as a oneplus,im using a droid 3 that was flashed with a gsm radio and it just shows as a generic flip-phone but the other lines on our plan show their respective phones(everyone else has an iphone lol ).
att only knows what type of device you have based on a list of imei's. non att carrier branded devices just show up as "unknown device". i know the nexus 5 shows up this way. and because of that im pretty much 100% sure the oneplus will also be an unknown device. as far as they know, you bought a $5 10 year old nokia flip phone from the mall.

You did not mention about the exact device model.
However there is a general forum for android here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help where you can get better help and support if you try to ask over there.
Good luck.

I currently use a Motorola Atrix HD cell phone . The Android version is 4.1.1 and it will not update to a newer version. It is probably 4 years old at least. I want to get a newer phone but really was trying to avoid signing another 2 years contract with AT&T so wondered if I bought an unlocked phone that is AT&T compatible, can I just move the SIM card to the new phone and then use it as my new phone? I am older, 75, and need help with this decision. I don't need a phone with all the bells and whistles, just a basic smart phone to call, text, do email and other basic online functions. I did go to Best Buy and selected one of their unlocked phones but my SIM card would not fit the new phone so had to cancel that. Any help, comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Yes. Switching your current AT&T SIM card to another unlocked phone will work. There are a few things to watch out for:
1. Don't forger to somehow transfer your contacts to your new phone. This can be done with Google account sync or (easier) you could export your contacts from your phone to your SIM card.
2. There are multiple SIM card sizes (as you notices). There is standard size sim, micro sim and nano sim. Make sure your SIM size is compatible with your phone. If it's too big or too small go to AT&T and ask for a different size SIM card. Just don't ever use SIM adapters. They can break the phone's SIM tray permanently.

Thanks Janekmuric. I'll have to take out my SIM card and see what type it is. Also will try to see if there is a way on my phone to put my contacts on my SIM card. So moving my SIM card to a new phone (assuming it fits) will then enable me to begin to use that phone as my normal phone. I just can't believe it's that easy and that AT&T won't have their claws in there for some kind of fee or charge. I'll have to look for a phone then and want to try to get one that is at least version 6, I think that's Marshmallow. I've seen a number of these on Amazon that are unlocked and compatible with AT&T and not very expensive. I just need as I said earlier a basic smart phone to do calls, text, email and some basic internet. I do not do streaming or use my phone for music and all that.

Good luck with finding a new phone. You can use GSMArena Phone Finder to find a phone you need. You put in what you want from the phone, what android version you want, what battery capacity, price, size and so on, and it returns a list of phones that fall into that category.
Samsung Galaxy J7 is good for what you need. It's responsive, fast, stylish and costs 220 USD on Amazon.com
