hi guys
i got this phone ( galaxy core prime - s820L ) and tried to use it with gsm card
but there is no network shown !!
when i checked the network mode it shows just LTE / CDMA and CDMA
is there any way to make it work with gsm networks ??
please guide me
thanx in advance
While the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime does have a SIM card slot, it is a CDMA phone. Switching the SIM for a GSM card will not do anything. I have had two phones that required SIM cards, that are CDMA. My other was a ZTE Warp 4g. While there are ways to transfer to other CDMA networks, swapping the SIM will do nothing for you.

Hello all
i have a verizon 3g xoom. it's not upgraded yet. i live outside us
about the UK 3g xoom, can it operate 2g sim card? for sms, gprs or ...
how about normal 3g sim cards?
is there any hardware difference between mine and uk one?
may i operate my 2g sim card on my xoom? how about 3g?
when i put sim card nothing happen. i just tried 2g sim card
our 3g operator is not started selling sim cards ... but we have 4g operator.
if i install uk xoom's rom on my own, can i use sim card?
is there any mini pci-e card that i can use my sim card with it? (self upgrade xoom with custom mini-pci-e)
please help me. i need some information. i'm confused.

how about this thread? i've done that but dont work for me. there is no signal, i think it didnt recognized my sim card.
if i install the mini-pci-e card that motorola installs on xoom during upgrade, can i use sim card for 2g/3g ? (sms or internet)
i have found this : "If you bought your Xoom from Verizon, it will have no SIM card slot. Verizon's CDMA network doesn't use SIM cards. Also, if you bought the Verizom model, it will only work on Verizon, and not another carrier. There is also a WiFi-Only Xoom, and it does not have a SIM slot."
here : "http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/53440/Why+I+can%27t+find+3G+SIM+Slot+in+my+Motorola+Xoom"
but mine have sim slot with a plastic sim on it.
The Verizon 3G Xoom does have a sim card slot but no hardware inside to read the sim card. That is what the 4G upgrade was for, to install the hardware necessary to utilize the sim card for the Verizon 4G LTE network.
I don't know if anyone has gotten a Verizon Xoom working on any other carriers network.
Theres pix of the inside of my Uk3g Zoom somewhere...
Hi all!

Thanks and best regads,
Can't, LTE Xoom is still CDMA, not GSM.
Hi everyone.
Is there any dual sim phone in the market that will work in 3G network at the same time?
I am currently here in korea, where phone only works in 3G (UMTS 2100 I think) signal.
So if I have a dual sim, 3G should work on both sim at the same time.
Thanks a lot.

have you tried this phones on both 3G networks?
I read some articles regarding dual sim phone that even though it supports 3G on both sims they dont usually work at the same time, 1 in 2G and other in 3G.
Thanks.
Yes there are many types of phones came with 2 sim cards.
such as samsung & lg
but i heared about a piece that you can buy it seperatelly and insert it into the phone which make it possible to fit 2 sim cards at the same time

yah, i saw a lot of dual sim phones.. but the problem is, if it will both work at the same time in 3G networks.. since only 3G signal is supported here in korea..
I know this thread is old, but I have the exact problem right now. Dual Sim in korea, with one korean and one foreign sim card does not work!
Too bad...
im going from a verizon 4G LTE sim phone to this which is only 3g and im not getting any network when i put the sim in.. but it sees all my contacts etc... ive searched and didnt see any questions/answers
any suggestion? will i need a 3g sim?

I have same phone, can't make it connect to 3g. It just connect me to EDGE.
What country are you?
I'm in Mexico, and the 3 serv. providers uses 3g on the 850/1900 bands. I've tried the obious , correct sim slot, correct apn config., entered to engineering mode and tried forcing it use the 850 band, but havent had luck with it, no 3g connection.
I've been desperate because i depend alot of data service.
Can you share your experience.
Thanks.
Hello everyone!
My mother was on China tour early May 2014, when she was in NingBo(china mainland)she bought a ZTE Smartphone Grand Memo N5S
This smartphone has 2 slots SIM card which is slot1 for 3GCDMA and slot 2 for GSM.
After Arriving from China Tour she tried to use the phone In Indonesia with 2 Sim Cards GSM and CDMA inserted, but unfortunately the CDMA not work* the SIM Card cannot be Detected but the GSM Work well.I was wondering why because the CDMA frequency In Indonesia is the same as frequency from china* and same as per ZTE specification (双网双待CDMA 800 GSM900/1800/1900), I then borrow china sim card from my chinese friend who works in Indonesia.
It works ! and CDMA slot card can detect the sim card from china and starts on roaming mode also able to send and recieve call from my local networks.
So the conlusion is the CDMA slot card is locked by provider which is China Telecom. I Need your help to a give me Sim card network code so that I can USE the CDMA phone here in Indonesia. I have tried 3 CDMA SIM cards from Indonesia which are Telkom Flexi, Smartfren and Esia but no one of them can be used in your ZTE Device N5S. Please help
In order to do Network Unlock, you will have to either contact China Mobile or look for an Unlock Code on Ebay.
