Does anybody know if a sim card from a phone on a monthly contract with orange will work in an unlocked jam - I really don't want to have to change my number. In addition this sim card has two lines on it - will that work too on the Jam/MDA?
Hope someone can help as this would put me over the edge on a buying decision
I would have thought this would work. How did you get on in the end?

I have a n6682(Cingular Go-phone) and a Nokia70(Cingular contract)
I am going to get a new phone within a week.I want to use the unlocked phone with the sim card from the n6682-will this work?Unlocked phones work with any service right?The only reason i want to use the go-phone sim card is because i am just going to use the new phone just for connection purposes.Will this work as long as i have a sim card?
i ran lockiwiz and I don't have any other sim cards to test it out but how can you tell if the phone has been sim unlocked?
anyone????????????????????????
The only way is to use a SIM from another provider.
I you don't have any friends who trust you enough to loan you a SIM for 5 seconds then try going to a Mobile Phone shop and telling them you are thinking about switching providers and your phone is supposed to be SIM unlocked but you want to be sure before you start shopping around. Most likely they'll be happy to help you test your phone with one of their SIMs (hoping to get a new customer).
Hello everyone,
I have a T-Mobile Wing which I want to use with an AT&T prepaid SIM card. I called T-Mobile and received the SIM unlock code, but with the AT&T SIM inserted my Wing is unable to connect to the network (it simply says "Searching..." in the left corner indefinitely).
I understand that this device does in fact work with AT&T service so I am a bit mystified. Perhaps the solution is staring me in the face and I am just too daft to see it. If anyone could shine some light on this for me I would greatly appreciate it.
Is a 3G sim card? Might not work on an Edge phone
lol you have to configure the network for it to work. Try the cab in this post:

just got my lg c900 today from ebay, and when i insert my att sim card, it says "invalid sim card"...
But I have been using this sim card on other devices, like nokia 2710 and my touch 3g and they work fine!!
So i tried someone else's sim card(Att), it works too!!!
What should i do.....
You need to unlock the phone to use with other carrier. There are a lot of unlocking services that can help you to unlock it.
Aha!
I had the exact same 'problem' and freakou... er... reaction.
You have to activate a plan on the SIM card. Only then will it stop giving you the INVALID SIM message at startup.

Jesus! Is there no other way out? I didn't buy it from AT&T and don't want to pay for the data plan....
can i just don't make a data plan but just enable the data connection?
If you want to use the phone or Data (excluding Wifi) functions of the phone, you'll need to have some sort of plan or prepaid account associated with the SIM card.
It doesn't mean you have to pay the 'Smartphone' package that AT&T offers (forces) when you get the phone on a contract. You don't even need to have a plan at all! You just need to activate an account online.
Thanks, but actually this is not my contract phone. I bought it from someone else. In my current contract my device is a basic phone, but I enable the data connection function(pay per usage).
But it's still not working...what a wp7....
what do you mean by activating an account online? I already got my account.
Well, on Telus, you just had to activate a phone by entering the SIM number (it's on the little card you received with the SIM or sometimes on the SIM itself) in the 'Activate your Phone' wizard.
Problem fixed!!!!
I call the ATT customer service and they update my sim card information. now it works!!!
Excellent to hear! I'm glad your problem got fixed
Hi guys; I did get 2 S5 phones, both unlocked, but they came from different carriers. One is from ATT, the other from Verizon. One is a G900A while the other is a G900V; so the model is matching the carrier.
Now, with the ATT one, I just pop the sim card in, and it works (I have a nano, but it fits in the micro slot), the phone works fine, nothing wrong with it.
The verizon one is not liking it...I get a message that say that the SIM card is not present. I did think it was broken, so I did pop in an old sim card that is not working anymore, which is also the micro size, so the correct size, and the phone say that the sim inserted is not a Verizon sim.
I have no idea why this phone, is doing this. I was told that the phone is unlocked, but the strange thing is that it won't accept any nano sim (while the same S5 from ATT does take it without problems), and that it won't allow me to use anything that is not a Verizon sim. Did I buy a phone that is locked? Should I get another one of the ATT model? Reading on the forum, I did see that you need a verizon sim card for the first activation and then you can swap the T-mobile in, and change the network settings, but I do not have a Verizon sim card available, and before waste 10 dollars at the local store, I would like to know if there is anything else that I can do to make the phone to work. Or if I should just return it; this came from Amazon, so that's easy to fix. Thanks!
