P version of S5 mainly belongs to Sprint networks, yes you can unlock it and use it with other networks, but these networks work differently. I bought me gold unlocked edition and it will work worldwide, but I will have some internet issues and I have to use GSM SIM Card, our sim card is for LTE connectivity and CDMA is programmed in like cricket does. Hope this explains, also try many different providers and see what does and doesn't work right. You can do the research for people who don't know what's out there, and S5's are all over India although they have hex core version.

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?
i have lg g2 vs980. my phone software is lolipop 5.0.2 vs98039a. i have some problem in this phone when i useing reliance cdma sim.
1. when i use reliance cdma sim i do only one call any mobile no. if want i do another call so call not connected. when i restart the phone so call is connect only first time. on 2nd call is same problem.
2. 3g network not work with 1x EvDo.
so can u solve my problem
Hi,
Most of mobile phones are only capable to connect to GSM networks. In my country, CDMA is almost dead. Only Smartfren Telecom was left here. It's a CDMA operator that working on bringing LTE-A across Indonesia (even if it's a GSM service, that's why I said that). It has self-branded phone 'Andromax' that works on both CDMA & GSM networks (but not all). On some countries it's even already dead. May be you could come to Indonesia and purchase one Andromax smartphone on local stores here :silly:
The only suggestion I could give to you is only to use GSM operator. It has so many advantages and enhanced technologies. CDMA is almost dead and outdated.

Thought VZW and SPR are giving SIM unlock service under the certain condition.
http://www.verizon.com/about/consumer-safety/device-unlocking-policy
Like VZW clearly states on their website, that they don't usually lock their 4G devices, so I guess S7 is included?
So as SPR
https://www.sprint.com/legal/unlocking_policy.html
you just have to use your device in certain amount of time on their network and they can unlock it for you.
Unless you can't connect to their network, I really don't see the need of any "programming" or "unlock SIM" that you do refer to.(though unlock SIM doesn't exist for Galaxy S7)
And lets talk about using your device on CDMA network. You have to be aware that which CDMA is used by your career and on which band, as CDMA is mainly ONLY used by USA,JAPAN,KOREA,China(sorry if I missed any) I think very few device supports CDMA, so it might be quite DIFFICULT(or even impossible) to use GSM device on the CDMA network.
Maybe you need to clarify a bit what information you need exactly?
In yemen we use cdma on cdma2000 ev-do band and gsm so My phone is compatible with this two network(s7/sm-g930p).why i need to use programming sim becuse to use both network cdma for internet connection and gsm for calls but not in the same time.i have to swith network band to use one of them .in phone store they have a method to unlock sim and progamming sim to work on cdma.i don't now the method but maybe by dfs .
Hi guys, i'm using N920P with China Mobile network now, i have a problem that is if i change the network to GSM/UMTS, I can't use 3/4G, but i'm still able to make or receive phone calls, but if i change it to LTE/CDMA, I can use LTE now but I can't make phone call anymore. I'm wondering what's the problem with my phone. Hope that someone can help me to fix it. Many thanks.

You can't use China Mobile 4G. Only way to do is to switch to China Unicom or Telecom, China Unicom supports 4G but may not be able to call at same time, but i think 3G is perfect, and you can use China Telecom 3G too. You can install a patch for China Telecom 4G but I don't recommend that. Otherwise you can bare with the 2G speed...And don't trust those people online who want to charge you after adding their QQ or wechat.

I didn't try yet. but it says N920p supported. If u are on sprint, am not sure how it works.. but GSM should work well.

Just got a S8+ from my brother and was having some troubles with it (can text/use data but not recieve/make calls) and found out that the cause was because the phone supported the 4G LTE band of my carrier but not the 3G band which is what my carrier uses for calls.
So how screwed am I? is there anything I can do to fix this?
Samsung Galaxy S8+

Try in settings - connections - mobile networks and change network mode to 2g/3g or 3g mode and see if that works.
Note: I am still on nougat so settimgs location may be slightly different on oreo.

i've tried it and it didn't work as the specific model phone I have does not support the 3G band of my carrier (Freedom Mobile) so I can't connect to any of my carriers bands aside from the 4g LTE one

Is this your model
https://www.sammobile.com/devices/galaxy-s8-plus/specs/SM-G9550/
If so I would get in contact with your provider and see if is compatible with there network frequencies. apart from changing providers I am not sure what you can do.
If I've done my research properly freedom mobile is Canadian region apparently there are to modes home and away have you tried the away mode

yes that is my phone
i think away might actually work really well, how would i force it to only use away/roaming?
okay this is weird, so i turned roaming on, connected to a different carriers network (rogers) and i can text and data fine but still cannot make or recieve calls on a AWAY network....? does this mean it shouldn't be a network band problem?
it shouldnt be my sim card as my sim card works fine on my older phone fine (s7E) and i JUST got it replaced my the warranty service (to fix this problem, which it didnt). It shouldn't be the phone either as my brother put his sim back in the phone and he can make calls fine....... what is wrong here?
IT WORKED THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
changing to rogers did not work (not sure why? maybe they use the same band is freedom)
however afterwards i changed to telus and i got calls!!

If you mean upgrade to Oreo I do have some minor issues at the moment nothing really major for me to worry about if I do upgrade. To save going way off topic here might be better to start a new thread or I could pm you if you like.
