sim crash

i've looked through tons of threads and can't figure this out so i thought i'd ask. i rooted my friends galaxy s captivate 2.2 froyo and unlocked his sim flawless with one click. now the sim he has from his gophone says "sim crash" call support etc....when booting up. is a gophone sim not compatible? i've read on ONE thread out of 50 that it isn't, so what prepaid sim's can he use? straight talk and gophone's are the only one's with service in our rural area. i appreciate any help. thanks very much.
we just tried my verizon plan phone sim and it didn't work. i didn't even know verizon had a sim until that point.

It is saying so, that SIM card is crashed because your phone has not unlocked properly. Try to put another SIM or if not work get it unlocked properly but it is definitely a problem because you have not unlocked your phone properly.

Ive only ran into the "sim crash" issue back when I wroked for att. Right before I stopped working there att started locking the sims for a set period for gophones that came with credit to cut loses from people getting the credit & reselling the phone etc. A new sim may resolve th issue.

Unable to use my phone on wind after contacting them

Hi. I realy need some help now.
It all started when I brought my own phone the Xperia Z Ultra to wind and got a sim card from them. I notice the internet wasn't fast so I called them up to help diagnose it. They told me to shut off my phone, take out the sim card, put it back in and turn on my phone again. After I did that I got an invalid sim. Wind no longer works with my phone now. I tried replacing the sim card but it didn't work. I tried other sim cards from different providers and they all work, just not wind. I called them up and accuse them of blocking my phone from their network. I ended up getting a phone from them to use their network after my contract with Bell ended.
Can you guys here at XDA help me ou?

S7, APN Settings, and Prepaid

Hello, I just bought a verizon Samsung Galaxy s7. I am a net10 customer, so to use the phone i purchased the byop kit and inserted the verizon compatible chip and then i go to register the phone with net10, and it says it cant do it, to contact customer service. So I called them and they said that for some reason the imei wont register manually, and that i have to call verizon and see if it was locked. So i called verizon and they said according to the imei i gave them it isnt locked, and that verizon doesnt even lock 4g lte devices. but no matter what i do i cannot get the phone to register with imei. I have even tried strait talk. Another thing to note is that on the verizon website, the s7 isnt listed as compatible device for a byop plan.
So theres no one i can call to have anything unlocked, i cant get my money back from net10, after i called net10 customer service back and told them that verizon said it wasnt locked, net10 CS then stated that the phone wasnt compatible on their network.
A verizon tech said he sometimes has problems registering phone imei's. He said sometimes it goes through, and sometimes you have to keep trying. I really have no clue of what type of process is happening here...
So, i took out the verizon compatible sim, and put in the att/unlocked gsm device sim and then registered that through net10. it actually went through, I now have a phone number and i have basic data, but i cannot send or receive mms. I used the APN settings i found somewhere on the internet for ATT network as they are the only ones that work so far..
The other problem i have is that my phone says the sim isnt from verizon, which im assuming i can just flash the "u" version of the rom to take care of? But am i hoping there is a way to make my phone work in their network so that i can use the intended sim card.
So with all that said I have a couple questions.
1. Why wont my phones imei register on the carrier networks?
2. If i cant get it to register on their networks, is there any way to at least get my mms working?
I find it very strange that no one else has had this problem. I cant find any information as to why the s7's arent part of the byop yet.
Thanks in Advance!

Best way to make my Moto E-5 work on any network even if locked?

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

Question Can't seem to get my att phone to work on t-mobile (assurance) work please 😣 help

I just purchased a new galaxy a12 that was pre-installed with att firmware. I had the device network unlocked by att . I have been told from many sources that att phone and tmobile phones are the same type of network and so my active assurance wireless Sim should work fine in the phone I purchased since assurance is on the t-mobile network.. it shows my assurance number in the Sim information and shows assurance in the apn settings but won't connect to data dating the Sims not registered on the network ... how can I get the Sim to connect with the network with this new phone. Would the easiest fix be to just flash with something and if so how can I do that. Thank you for your time!!!

Mess around with the settings, I have a phone that was unocked, and it works fine from AT&T to Google Fi (Which is T-Mobile based), so flashing wouldn't equal to the problem being solved, you should go to networks and select it manually.
