I bought a pixel pre-owned one. It looks like working perfectly except the sim card detecting.
I live in Germany and tried with german sim card (o2 and Telekom) but I always have no service. It seems to be detected because I can see the sim card provider on "sim toolkit" (It is activated with inserting sim card, but with no sim card it is hidden).
I asked to google support team Germany with chatting. But they said my pixel is from USA and I have to contact the seller.
The Pixel is not able to be unlocked (bootloader), so I think it is a Verizon model.
Could anybody solve this issue?
Thanks in advance

Hello, I brought a HTC HD7S unlocked version from Amazon. When I first got the phone, I put a AT&T prepaid sim card into the phone, it works well. However, because I need to modify the Live ID, I reset the phone to the factory setting. And then, bad things happened. When I put a AT&T prepaid sim card, it said, the SIM card is missing or invalid. When I put another AT&T prepaid sim card, it still did not work. However, when I put a AT&T family plan card into my phone, it works well. So what`s the problem and how can I use a AT&T prepaid sim instead of the family plan sim card ??
Best wishes for everyone
Help anyone who knows the answer . Thank you so much
Ok so I am currently staying in Russia. And do recently I bought an Hox+ from eBay and it was shipped here. Now the guy never had a problem with it because it is newly bought. So it was shipped to me in the condition he sent it. Now I bought a factory unlock key and it is in my email.
So I went and cut my normal SIM card into a micro SIM card and put it in the phone but even when I restart the phone it just says No SIM Card. Not as an error I suppose.
I tried using a very old ATT SIM I had (converted to Micro SIM) but the phone didn't read it either. So I don't know what the problem is. My old phone reads my newly cut micro SIM but my phone doesn't. And I am thinking maybe because the att SIM is so many years old the phone won't see it, and maybe the phone won't see the Russian SIM card either, so my last option I suppose it to get a proper micro SIM from MTS.
What are your ideas? Also can I make the SIM unlock code show up on the screen using a secret code? You know like when people do that global phone code or *#06# code? My phone was also bootloader unlocked, relocked and os was restored too.

You're in the wrong forum my friend, this is the One XL forum.
Hi,
I have bought the device in France while i was on a trip there.
I have returned back home (New Zealand) and my European sim cards connect to the network no problem (I have one french and one Israeli) both working.
however, when i insert my Spark sim, its not recognized at all i got a new sim card (nano-sim) as my old one was micro sim.
Any thoughts?
Cheers.

I think, this has to-do with the "Region Lock"; you bought an European S8+, and before you can use SIM-cards from other (read NOT European) regions, you must have called at least 5 minutes with a European SIM-card...
yeah i have purchased the device in France and used it heavily during that time including calls.
can something be done about this?

phone samsung. Sim locking is dumb.
Actually, it was a sim problem, after going back to my provider i got a new sim and it worked.
Thanks for the help.
I've got a p40 pro (ELS-NX9) dual sim. I bought it off ebay reseller as sim unlocked and have used it on EE for over a year.
I am changing to the 3 network and their sim doesnt work - the phone asks for a sim unlock code. I rang EE and asked for a code to sim unlock, they said it would take a couple of days.
Today I got a message from them saying it is sim unlocked already.
Any ideas why the 3 sim doesnt work? Is there a way I can check?
I have both sims in the phone and tried them in opposite sides of the sim holder. The sim settings are fine. I have put google on it - would this make a difference? I dont want to go through the hassle of backing up everything again!!

”The SIM card unlock code, is the PIN number that came by default on your SIM card or the SIM card PIN that you set yourself. The purpose of having a SIM PIN is if someone found your SIM card they would not be able to make a call or access the info on it without first entering your SIM card PIN number”
Should be written on the SIM- big sim holder Card. ( default could be 1234 or 0000)

So why does my original EE sim work with no pin? The 3 sim is brand new and has no service, it arrived pre activated by 3, all I had to do is put it in the phone. I guess I should say network unlock instead of sim unlock?

A brand new sim come with the PIN written as on image, by default. You can remove it, change it, but first of all you need to provide the PIN code on the first connection to have access on it. It doesn't care if it has service or not.
It is better to try that SIM card in other phone. Maybe this other phone will provide you the same request.
Also you can ask a SIM (3 network) from a friend that for sure has the PIN inactive to see if it works on your phone.

Not in this case, the sim is pre-activated. It is a carrier code that is needed
I understand. It can be unlocked. I think it is not for free, but you will find solutions on-line or in service (not Huawei service).

I have an 18 month old P40 Pro and currently have the above error when putting in the unlock code. I obly have 4 attempts left. Please help. Thanks Paul

According to EE the phone is unlocked, according to 3 it isn't blacklisted, waiting for a new sim now to try again.
Ifr it is locked, it will be the first P40 Pro locked that I have ever heard.
I've had a reply from Huawei, It was sold to EE locked to their network. According to EE it is unlocked lol! Back to EE I go I guess
