Hi, I have the sim unlock code for my phone but when i put a different sim is not asking for the code, I tried all methods that i found on internet with not luck.

I think Verizon phones come unlocked. does it take the other sim? or is it giving you an error?

Hey, I know this post was a year ago but I really need help getting a Verizon Galaxy S6 working on T-Mobile. I tried popping in the SIM and setting the APN but nothing is working. What APN are you using? The S6 is on 6.0.1 Marshmallow, please help!!!

Make sure your SIM is inserted properly. I was having the this problem with my Focus earlier.

Hey everyone thanks for your help in advance... I just bought my phone and went to T-Mobile to get a new micro Sims card. After putting it in, the phone didn't recognize it. I put in the APN settings and it doesn't save it. This really sucks right now because I don't know what else to do. Any help will be greatly appreciated. And my phone isnt rooted yet, just want the stock for now. Thanks again
Is the sim activated? Sometimes on a new sim it takes a few hours to start working.
I was already on Tmo with an N5. I just moved the sim over and all was good.

What he said. If OP has another phone that uses a MicroSIM, put the sim in that phone and see if it works.
Also did u insert the sim properly into its slot?

I actually didn't. I agreeing with what you said and added onto your point.
I didn't mean the u to be directed to NaterTots but to the OP. Sorry for the confusion.
I screwed up and instead of using my old Sim card and cutting I went into T-Mobile and had them activate a new micro Sim card and put it straight in. The old one is deactivated.
The new micro Sim does work in my old gslaxy S2 phone which used an older big Sim card. Its now using a Sim adapter.

Did you insert the SIM card in the right direction and not upside down? I know thats silly to ask.
to be honest its simple man and actually nothing you needed to make a thread about. Simple go to TMobile store and try an already active sim card. Go to AT&T and see if they can put an active sim card to help you out. Basically go to anywhere that works with a TMobile or AT&T derivative and try it out. Nothing really else we can do to help you on this.
Not try to be rude or anything but its the truth. If none of that works then you may have to RMA. Also maybe find a friend or family member and try their sim . Good luck :good:
Should work. Using my one plus with Solavei (t-mobile based company) and having no issues.

First time i've also put the tray wrong. True story
Just had this problem after coming from using the phone overseas and no signal whatsoever on the phone despite numerous restarts, SIM cleaning, and chats with T mobile. After verifying the APN was correct I went to Settings-->About Phone-->Status-->SIM Status and checked to see if the SIM was connected(it showed my phone number, but was disconnected). So from here went to Settings-->Mobile Networks-->Network Operators and let the phone find carriers automatically. Mine showed T-mobile(with a little SIM icon to the right of it), Verizon, and ATT. I clicked on T-Mobile and it registered and is now working.
Probably saved me $15 at the T-Mobile store. Hope this helps even just one of you.
I have a T mobile sim card and its not getting recognized. Anyone has that problem?
happened to me too ... I had to go to T-Mo and get a new sim card... works fine now
I also had same problem...buy a new Universal Sim from tmobile

go to T-Mobile store - they will replace it fo free - you don't need to buy new sim

I had the same issue and a new SIM from AT&T fixed it. The first SIM they gave me worked in everything but my Pure XL, which was weird.
Woke up the other day and my AT&T s6 randomly got this issue. I am using my cricket sim card on this smg900a. Tried another cricket sim and it also did not work. It is not my sim either as im currently using it on another phone. Also does not appear to be a hardware issue as it detects when i insert or remove the sim. Just says No SIM, Emergency calls only. Please help anybody.
Perhaps some faulty SIM cards? Try one from another operator. Also AT&T phones usely works only with AT&T SIM cards if I'm correct.

Cricket is an at&t sub carrier. All at&t phones work on cricket actually, ive been using at&t phones on their service for quite a while now.
Try to contact the carrier and see what they suggest.

Well all they tried was put in a new sim card which did not work.. said it was the phone. But i believe it might be software related.

I can see several more people have same issue, including myself, but I tampered service mode and EFS folder, so I guess there could be a problem.
Unfortunately dont have original EFS folder backup, or warranty, as I am not the first owner of the phone.

Yep i gotta use a cheap phone meanwhile -.- this sucks.
My phone tells me "invalid sim" when I insert any sim other than Sprint. I don't get an option to insert an unlock code. I feel this is all software related as multiple have reported the phone is the same hardware wise on every carrier.
What was the first sim you installed if I may ask?

AT&T
Apparently there is an unlock folder in the developer menu.

That's for the bootloader
When you put that AT&T sim it locked to AT&T

That's the best part, it's still locked to Sprint. Even with AT&T sim inserted first and completely reset to retry it. Still only accepts Sprint cards.
Was anyone able to figure out OP's question? I have the same problem too. I have a Sprint Galaxy S7 Edge and I'm trying to unlock it with a T-Mobile sim card, but I don't get the unlock code entry screen. I just get an invalid SIM card message. Where can I enter the unlock code? Thanks.

Hello, I am encountering the same issue. Please help? TIA
You either need to contact Sprint and have them send out a Profile Update to your phone to get it network unlocked or use a 3rd party service
Same problem here. Any solution? How to make my phone ask for an unlock code?

All, read this thread here. Looks like you can just call Sprint and get it handled or dish out some $$$, but I wouldn't recommend that.
