I know this may sound dumb to some, but I should have my new Note 5 by noon, and it has a nano card, I upgraded on one of my other lines that was due an upgrade, but want to use my number not that one, will I have to go into the store to have them change it or can I do that over the phone? I apologize if this is general knowledge but a search got me a zillion answers but not exactly what I was looking for
Just call

Why not just swap-out the sim card yourself?

The MDANavymoms signature says that she has a note 4. The note 4 uses a micro sim.

I had previously called, and of course was told Note 5 had Micro Sim and I could just swap, yeah, not the brightest bulb, so just got off the phone again with a different rep and was told that I just had to call in when it got there and give them the sim # and tell them which number I wanted associated with, so that sounds simple enough.
Did you receive the phone yet?I was told that the stores wouldn't have any in stock for 2 weeks after release but a very ride rep

Good point; in the past, I have trimmed several micro-sims into nano-sims with a scissors. It is easy enough if one is careful. You can also purchase a punch that will cut the sim precisely to size. At about $5, it is a good investment.

I will need one for a few weeks as I will be swapping back and forth with phones..
I ordered one from Amazon for 99 cents with free shipping and it arrived 4 days later.
I have no idea if it will work as I don't have my phone yet... But for 99 cents was worth the gamble
45 cents postage for the guy to send it to me.
I am just going to go to ATT on Tuesday when mine arrives and get a new one. I think my old one cant be trimmed. Hoping they dont give me alot of crap about it. Whoops!! Wrong HTC One X forum. Mines an import lol.

All minisims should be able to trim into microsims. I've trimmed two different looking minisims successfully to work in this phone. I don't think it's really picky... I cut them with scissors and no reference.
With my luck lol I wouldnt attempt it
Idk but it says microsim in my order on att!
OK.
HOX takes the micro similar. ATT will give you one. If you need to use your similar card in another non HOX...non iPhone...non Nokia 900.. you will need the adapter to go back and forth

if you look at the htc one x compatible accessories and look under the cases and play the game one of these items does not belong which is it??? lol had to share
Haha I see what you're talking about.
I just slid the memory card in under my SIM and it worked fine ?????
(JOKE people)
Saw that yesterday. This just shows what kind of fools are working there. Then we ask why we we get our ROM updates a year later than other carriers.

If they are such "fool" then why don't you switch carriers? Seems a little harsh. Out of curiousity ... Where do you work?

It's not harsh, it's the truth. I don't want to switch because these "fools" have the best network coverage and data speeds out of all the "foolish" carriers. I work here http://www.wto.org/

In fairness, the way these e-commerce sites work, every time you load a new product, you can associate it with other products in the system so they show up as suggestions. Usually, you can pick specific products or default it to show up with everything in your store.
In all likelihood, someone just set that SD card to associate with all phones without thinking too hard about it.
I asked ATT this while on the phone with them yesterday. The guy looked and just laughed and said "would you like to buy one?".
When I bought my One X the sales rep went digging in the box for an SD card to insert it for me. He said "hmm let me get one from the back" I then asked him where I'd put it. He had no idea there wasn't an SD card slot on the One X.

Except AT&T stores don't have troves of memory cards in their back rooms, or give them away with phones. Gotta call shenanigans. They also require pretty in depth training on all their devices. Sales people do often allow the customer to think they are smart by simply agreeing, so you may have been played. The online store is another story. Like stated before, it was probably just a automated form, it happens.
Just a quick video i made!

You mention best buy opens and installs sim. Is this before they sold it to you or did they do this is front of you?

They do it in front of you...and they don't take care of it too...they kind of just place it on the table and put the sim card in...turn it on and that's it...not sure why they don't even really do a test call or anything

Yea next time i will be doing that
I am having a problem receiving texts from only 2 of my contacts. This has persisted thru 2 devices and custom and stock roms, so thinking its a network problem. However, in calling AT&T, they (of course) could find no visual reason for this. It started on my skyrocket with slimbean build 6, but has persisted thru updating builds on that, then I got a new s3 and of course brand new sim and am running stock based deTmobilized on that. One contact is AT&T also, while the other is T-Mobile. AT&T gave me a line about my Gmail account, and if I could troubleshoot by putting my sim in a non android phone to test. I don't have access to any non android phone (why would I want to? Lol) Can anyone try to help me figure this out? wouldn't be a big deal but since one contact is having my grandbaby, I really need to be able to stay in contact with her since I live 800 miles from her. Tia for any help, suggestions, anything.
Hmm lets see
Try changing sim(of another company)
Make sure u dont have blocked them and back up in sd card
See if that two people get message like sending failed may be problem in their mobile

Just found out one contact had my number wrong. The other is an iPhone and from what I've read, they are notorious for doing things like that. The iPhone got a message kicked back saying something about undeliverable. Thank you for your suggestions.

Yes I was too. But because the iPhone is my aunt, and I rarely txt her, I'm not as concerned anymore. The one who had my number wrong was my sons dork gf. Told her that was a total blond move. She had my area code and her area code added to my number. And she's gonna be my grandchilds mother. Yikes.

It works with a new phone for your bil? I was just txtn my grandbabys mama from my tablet til we got it working. I know if I hadn't pushed the issue, she never would have figured it out.
* I just got this phone 3 days ago *
I have not spoken with any tech support at all about this matter. I simply have been looking through everyone's post and I had came across the one where you put the special code in the dialer system. However, prior to that I had popped in my old SIM card from my pixel 4 that was already unlocked and then I did the check in. Went back to developer options and OEM was grayed out and said to connect to the internet. That was last night and obviously I put my new activated SIM back in since that time .Now today all of a sudden I get the notification that my device has been unlocked. I checked my T-Mobile app and indeed it said that my device is unlocked and ready for any compatible network.
I would also like to add that I did do the temporary unlock as well before I got the message . Not sure if that part was before or after I swapped SIM and did the dialer method. And yes I know that that wouldn't have done anything either by itself but maybe that also helped possibly fool the system into thinking I was already unlocked idk but thats it honestly. Could be luck but I wish you all luck at the same time !
I have pics for proof including the 800 I still owe on it.
you lucky dog there is another guy that did that aswell. i had to go to extreme lengths. to get it sorta done

tmobile unlock app (pixel only) is the app you need to temp unlock the phone. if your goal is oem unlock, that requires permanent

that dialer code just checks that you are connected to the internet maybe googles server as well, but not sure.

I believe it does nothing but "check in" with a server to verify your connected to the internet

Okay I see what your saying I'm actually gonna do some more reading into that but I do know forsure it does exactly that check in to verify a connection to the internet and I assume by pinging googles server. The success notification is saying it got the ping back, meaning it's on the internet. Where the confusion I think your at is coming from is that the OEM unlock switch requires the internet purely to check if your phone can be unlocked or not (grayed out oem switch or not), so if it didn't instantly become available it is not going going to. When the device is fully paid off the switch, at least for t-mobile, will become available. But I appreciate you digging that up I have seen the title to that thread I just have never looked at it, knowing I'm more than likely **** out of luck, for now. New phone coming soon. I hope this makes sense

It's okay I went out of my way to do it lol and as for the phone then idk wtf happened something happened somewhere and at some point it ended up with me having it fully unlocked with $800 still left to pay .about to get a laptop soon to finally root. But on the T-Mobile app it says fully unlocked idk I'm happy. But now the 8 is coming out soon I have Jump! Upgrade so I can do it but I'm so cheap I held out for 4 years with my 4 non pro lmao
I have made some decent money this year so I swap around from my 7 pro, s22 ultra, and OnePlus 10 pro. I think I may trade in one for the 8 I just can't decide between getting rid of the 22 or the one plus. I'm leaning towards getting rid of the Samsung.
