I cannot enable call forwarding on my stock LG G3. When i go to "call settings", "additional settings" "call forwarding" I get an error message: "Network or SIM card error".
This AC thread is for the Note 4, but it illustrates the same problem I'm having with my AT&T G3.
http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-4/504466-someone-please-help-cannot-forward-calls.html
I tried a soft reset, but this didn't do anything. I plan to go to the corporate store tonight after work, but just curious if anyone else on AT&T with the G3 has had the same issue.
Solved! A factory reset and new SIM card did nothing so I went to the regional AT&T repair center. They removed it from the network on the back end, changed some settings, put it back on the network, refreshed the phone and now call forwarding can be enabled and works as it should.

Hello,
How are you all? I have been a lurker in the past but this is my first post. I see things on the LG expo but nothing on the Verizon LG Fathom (VS750) so I decided to post my questions here.
I recently won a new in box LG Fathom from a local raffle. It was locked to Verizon. I have AT&T and I decided to unlock it as it does have at least one of the AT&T 3G bands (along with quad band GSM and CDMA) I tried two well known online code unlockers and they failed to find the code. I then called Verizon to see if I could buy or obtain the unlock code and they said I had to be a current customer in good standing for 60 days. So having nothing to lose I gave it to a friend to put on their account to get it unlocked for me and with in 5 mins of being on the plan, Verizion gave them the code and it was unlocked.
Phone works well for calls, texts and with wifi. However here are two problems I am having with this phone.
1. I am not able to put in AT&T WAP settings. On the top of the connections screen it says the following "This connection is pre-configured. It cannot be modified.
Is there anyway around this? Can a new ROM be flashed to give me access to new settings? I see nothing on the LG Fathom (WinMo 6.5)
2. Phantom Voice message indicator. There is no voice message in the system. I have called and left new voice messages and then deleted them the indicator still is there, I have soft and hard reset the phone and left the battery out and the voice message indicator stays put. I have made sure the VM settings are for AT&T and still the VM indicator stays put. I have did a full erase and restore and it stay put.
Is there a solution to getting rid of a phantom voice message indicator? Is this a WinMo 6.5 issue? Is this a product of using a Verizon phone on GSM(the phone was unlocked by code from Verizon so it should mean it is good to go) Is this something I am going to have to live with and check my VM regularly?
I am only into this phone for $20 (the cost of tickets) and a pineapple( a gift to my friend for taking the time to get it unlocked) so as long as it gets and makes calls and texts I am happy
Any help or tips would be most helpful
Thanks much
Hi.
1. Don't worry about this. Verizon settings cannot be changed but you don't need to use that settings by default too. To configure the AT&T settings, you can choose 2 paths.
1.You can find a cab and the cab will configure everything for you. That cab should be like that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337481 look at the bottom of the page.
2. You can configure it by yourself manualy. To do this, You should fist tap to menu, than settings > Connections > Connections, then tap "Add a new modem connection". After configuring that "new modem connection", you should go to "Advanced" tab from the same place than tap "Select Network" button and choose your confured network settings.
2. If I understand correctly, you want to erase Voice Message line from the home screen right? To do that you should install this cab to your device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497232 than disable the voice massage section from this installed application.
Hope I could help you a little
If I flash any custom ROM that is not built on the stock/ota my phone appears to have some problems with the SIM card.
Specifically, if I go into settings->call settings->advanced it gives an error reading "Network or SIM card error." then it kicks me back to call settings, preventing me from making any changes.
This is a problem because I need to change the "my phone number" setting. If I go to settings->about phone->status it shows "unknown" under "my phone number" which in turn causes the phone to not associate my own contact entry with the phone, and it also causes problems for checking voicemail.
Strangely enough, I am still able to make phone calls, sent sms/mms, and connect to mobile data with no problem, so obviously the SIM card is working and is being read by the phone.
I would suspect that it is a problem with the SIM card, but if I flash back to stock, the problem goes away.
Any ideas anyone?

That happens with me also, running cm7 rom. But that`s not really an issue because there are not important settings over there.If you change any settings before the message pops up , settings will be saved after you exit the menu. Nothing to worry about- your phone and sim are fine:good:
Hello, yesterday I rooted my N5 and installed CM11 stable. After a few hours I started getting no service, so I tried rebooting it.
Nothing, still no service.
Then I thought to myself "F this, I'm going back to stock". Flashed the stock image (ktu84p) and set up my phone.
"searching for service".
I noticed that there's written CDMA in the mobile options and so I turned it off and reinserted SIM. Booted up, "Searching for service". The menu shows no option to select a mobile network. It only states that there are CDMA options.
Later I found out that my "about phone" page states something about MIN number, which wasn't there before.
Sounds like my phone switched to CDMA? How do I revert this? Tried flashing it twice, but no luck. What do I do?
SOLVED
SOLVED! For anybody else with "Searching for service" Nexus 5 problem: (worded it this way for Google search engine)
1. Dial *#*#4636#*#*
2. Go to "Phone information"
3. Scroll down to "Set preferred network type:"
4. Select "LTE/GSM auto (PRL)" or whatever you want
So I bought the phone and a 35$ service card three days ago from Wal-Mart. Activated the phone around 3am that night. Phone hasnt worked once. No calling, texting or using data. Ive contacted ST CS numerous times with no help. Im told the same everytime. Dial *73 then turn off and back on, if that doesn't work repeat. Well it wont even let me dial * numbers. Pops up sim not registered, sim not provisioned, contact service provider. So whats what ive done. Yet they keep telling me my service and phone are active so they cant do anything. Ive seen a lot of people say to get an ATT sim and use that instead of the Verizon sim, and that will do the trick.
My phone number doesnt show up in settings. Network type doesnt. Cant edit or add or delete APN. PRL is blank in settings and no way to change it. Does anybody have any ideas or advice on what to do to fix all these issues???? I have 4 bars at all times but my service says 1x and yet i cant make calls or texts. Calls say im roaming and to buy a service card if I wanna make calls. Texts get stuck on sending then minutes later pop up they failed.

Are you certain that you activated the device correctly and entered the SIM card number correctly when you activated the device?
Give me an accurate and descriptive breakdown of the exact steps you took when you activated the device and SIM.
BTW, AT&T SIMs are for GSM devices, not CDMA devices, if your device is a Straight Talk device, your device is a CDMA device. I doubt an AT&T SIM will help.

I mean, I'm assuming I did everything right lol. I followed the steps the ST website took me thru. Phones brand new, never been activated. Brand new sim. I went to the website, chose activate, chose I have a ST phone, input my zip, input IMEI, input SIM #, input service pin, created my account, updated profile settings, restarted phone. The app says my service is active, the website says its active, ST CS says its active on their end. But I can't call or text or use data. My network type is 1xRTT. I have 4-5 bars at all times. When I try to call regular numbers, I get a "you are roaming, to place calls please purchase a service card" or something along those lines. When I try to call *73 like ST keeps telling me, it says sim not registered, sim not provisioned, contact service provider.

Hi!
The same thing happened to me, I couldn't send messages or call until I activated the automatic network mode, otherwise it wouldn't let me call.
I hope I have been helpful with this.

The same problem happened to me, i tried everything..
The only thing that fixed it is:
1. Insert a Sprint SIM card (in my case it came with the device when I baught it. I never had service from sprint and I lived overseas)
2. Select settings >> Network and Internet >> Network settings reset.
3. That is it!
Please note that this method only worked when I inserted Sprint Sim card, it did not work with my actual sim card..
After the settings were reset, I removed Sprint SIM, and inserted the other SIM, and it worked perfectly!

This worked once for me, then I had to remove my tray to insert an sd-card and didn't work anymore... network settings struggle to reset (will take 10-20s and then crash out) what could it be? I'm using a heicard and discussing the procedure in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlocking-lg-g8-sprint-bad-esn.4092771/page-2
UPDATE: if you still get the "SIM not provisioned for voice" message, do a backup, then full restore of the phone, then repeat the above steps. You should now be able to make phone calls, but not connect to LTE. Download an app called "AddAPN" from the play store and manually save the Access Point Name for your carrier (yours will be different from mine, but I'll add it as reference, it's in italian, but you should get the gist, relevant steps are 10 through 14: https://www.helpforsmartphone.com/coopvoce/it/lg/g6/android-8-0/guides/22/Configurare-Internet-LG-G6)
with my sprint lg v50 and i can "Add APN" already.
i dont need an app
