The only major sim card providers in the states that will work on a wing, would be
T-Mobile
AT&T
Corr Wireless
or any other GSM Providers
The one's that won't work are
Verizon Wireless
Sprint
Boost Mobile
Alltel
or any other CDMA,iDEN Providers

my HTC P3600 was purchased in the UK and was locked on the Orange network. I got it unlocked before moving to Canada to study. I purchased a sim card from one of the GSM mobile operators (Fido). But when I insert the sim card into my phone it shows me as roaming and the network also charges me roaming service rates even though I am not in a roaming area.
I upgraded the ROM from WM5 to WM6.1 and still the the problem is not fixed.
I also used the sim and CID unlocker (http://pof.eslack.org/trinity-unlocker/) to "reunlock" it but that also didn't work.
Can anyone help me out here. I love my phone and would like to use it instead of getting another one.
So please whatever suggestions you have would be welcomed.
thanks in advance
I have an unlocked 8525 and want to use my boost mobile sim card the phone took my code but just shows "searching" for network. Help please
A quick look on google looks like they aren't gsm. I guess they are owned by Sprint.
the phones are AT&T and Cingular branded which are GSM carriers
Hi I have been using my htc hd2 for over a year, I unlocked it in the begginning and have been using ATT on it til now. I have recently switched over to tmobiles network but for some reason my htc hd2 won't connect with the tmobile sim card now. I am running an andriod nand.
Does the phone still work with the ATT sim? if so its not the sim card carrier/reader on the phone
Where how did you unlock it?
Just changing to Android does not unlock it, normaly its a cost to you to buy the code £15 to £20 in the UK
So if you only added Android its not unlocked
I'm sure its unlock. As it is branded as a tmobile phone and I purchased an unlock code for it awhile back and I entered it while I was on windows 6.5 and it allowed me to use the ATT sim card til now when I switch back to tmobile it won't let me. My att sim card still works with the phone just not the tmobile
Sound like one the sim:
Does the Tmobile sim, does it work in a different cell?
Does a different sim work in the phone (not including the ATT sim)
I'm pretty sure its not the sim card, I've tried multiple sim cards from friends and the ones from ATT works but for some reason the tmobiles ones don't work I have no clue. Strangest thing too is that I flashed stock windows mobile 6.5 and a new radio rom and the phone connected to the network and i was able to make a call but 2 minutes later "no service" again....
Its only the tmobile sim card too.
According to one of the mods at Android Central you can switch a 900v to tmobile and get full lte speed by manually changing the apn. No need to switch to band 4. Is this true? Has anybody done it? I would love to stick in a tmobil3 sim and try it while retaining the option to go back to vzw unlimited data if tmobile signal is unsatisfactory. Thanks for your help!
900v on Tmobile
I have tried my wife's t-mobile $30/month no contract Sim card in my Sm-900v and it works great. I got 4g lte and the down load speed was 43mb. It was faster then my Verizon speed of 15mb. The t-mobile Sim card automatically stored the apn on the phone but if it does not just manually add the apn.I did verify that my band 4 was already enabled.. Band 4 has to be enabled to use on T-Mobile BUT you do not have to disable band 4 if you want to go back to verizon leave it alone. For what i understand Verizon enables band 4 out of the box so just get a cheap pre- payed card and try it out for a month. Hope this helps you out.
So no need to call for unlock code? Tmobile guy said they woildnt give me a sim without it

I bought my phone used so I do not know if it was factory unlocked.. 2nd you can just go to any store that sells t-mobile sim cards and buy a prepaid Sim card. I bought mine online from t-mobile (out of convenients) they mailed it to me.. no need to go to t-mobile store. Again buy a cheap Sim to test on your phone. Worse case if your phone is carrier locked you will only lose $30. Or if you have a friend with a different carrier try there Sim card to see Iif your phone is unlocked or not. Also you can just call Verizon customer support and just ask for the unlock code it's free.
Where does the code go? Is there a setting where?
As soon as you install new sim card and reboot phone first thing it will ask you for a unlock code.. you will enter code on same screen. If it does not ask you for a unlock code then your phone is not locked then enjoy your new tmobile phone.

Hello,
I came upon a G900R7. I have no idea what carrier it was originally on. But the thing is in a weird state. It doesn't seem to be locked, but it won't take a sim card from multiple carriers. AND the IMEI is not blacklisted. It comes up all green.
When you boot it without a sim card, it complains that there is no sim card. When you put a sim card in it, it just doesn't connect to ANY mobile networks. No calls, sms, data, nothing. I've reset it back to stock, rooted and added TWRP.
I know they say the R7 is from C Spire or nTelos or whatever. But I'm 95% sure it's not from one of those carriers. That carrier doesn't really exist in this area.
Anyway, if you have any ideas on how I can get this thing to get back on a network (re-format EFS or whatever) please let me know. Thanks!
If they say it belongs to C Spire or nTelos or whatever, I'd suggest testing a SIM from one of those carriers....
Yeah I've never even heard of those carriers. And I can't imagine where I would find those services, other than ordering a bunch of stuff online.
There has got to be a way to unlock this thing. From everything I've read, C Spire doesn't lock their devices. And I should be getting an unlock screen if it was locked. So I'm thinking this is a baseband/firmware issue. I mean it's like it doesn't understand what the mobile radios are doing in this phone.
I wonder if there is a way to flash all of the radios back to stop. Perhaps something is wrong with the firmware itself.
Hi! Let me know if yo solve the problem.! I have the same issue! Exactly like that! [email protected]
I have this phone and my carrier is c spire which used to be cellular south.
My friends have phones like this on Triangle Mobile.
This carrier was on a 3g only network until the end of 2015 . They then started using 4G lte but in order to get on their 4G network You have to buy a new ,overpriced phone from them . The phones my friends have , have the 4glte sticker on the back and, a sim card slot but there's no sim card in there. The carrier says they can't update or do anything to the phone that would make it work with 4glte.
Did you ever find a solution to this? I have the cspire s5 and I unlocked it. It was reading Sims for a while but for some reason now it wont and I can't figure out what I need to do to get it to read my at&t sim again.
