[Q] australia bought phone not working in uk - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys
I have recently got back from australia where i bought an unlocked note 2 7105t. I have used the phone in oz with no dramas and with different sims. As it was unlocked i thought it would be ok to use in the uk. I have put an orange sim card in and its not blocking it but i cannot make any calls even to the customer service number. Check balance or find out what my phone number is
I have also tried with a friends sim card and i couldn't make any calls with that either. No errors are given and it reads the sim.
Does anyone know what is wrong
Its driving me mad!!
Thanks in advance

Change the modem and baseband....and try again.....:good:

hi i dont think that works

Austria Compact 2 won't take my other t-mobile sim card?

Hi,
I've tried to use my company simcard within my MDA Compact 2 but it won't work!! Any suggestions? The Compact 2 is probably simlocked but since I also use T-mobile in privat I got no idea why it doesn't work!
I got the new ROM update from T-Mobile Austria!
Please Help
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Your company is using T-mobile
You personally uses T-Mobile
You are in Austria
You used the Austria T-mobile upgrade
Right?
What is the message you see when you use your company SIM
absolutly right!
The SIM says T-Mobile! The SIM Card is working fine on my company cell phone!
This is really strange! There shouldn't be any difference between privat and company contracts cause it's the same network (T-Mobile)
The Compact 2 acts like there's no SIM Card in it
... T-Mobile Austria provided a ROM update to solve some bugs!
Before I switched to the new update I tryed the company SIM - Same result!
if the sim card is old it may not be compatible with the device
it's been know to happen
would it make any difference on an unlocked phone?
Or is it not possible to use this sim card at all?
If the phone act as though as there is no SIM card at all, it doesn't sound like a locked phone. a locked phone will gives you various unhelpful messages. Probably as Rudegar said, in compatible SIM card. I have not heard any thing (case or solution) on SIM incompatibility. Can't help you.
one could always ask for a new sim
i've don that before my network sendt me
one right away
I guess I'll try to get a new SIM!
This will probably solve the problem
Cheers, guys

I also had XDAIIs and used T-Moblie , no problem at all , if you cant call or the number aew tempory , than you need to call T-mobile and ask them change your sim card ,
I also use a prepaid tmobile sim card as well. I had them try it at the store before I even gave them my money.
Sounds like a dud sim, In switzerland sim cards that are pre-paid and not used for a long time get taken of the network, could this be your case?
Try the sim in another phone

[Q] Galaxy Nexus Japan SIM

Hi
I'm visiting Japan and have an unlocked Galaxy Nexus. The SIM card that borrowed for Japan from eMobile doesnt seem to work in my phone. The difference between this and the usual SIM card I use is that this one has a circular metal part while my usual SIM is rectangular. Is there some way in which I can fix this to work ? I asked a boffin in Akihabara eMobile shop, but he just pointed out this difference, but I find it hard to believe that this can make a difference.
What did happen the first time I installed it was it asked me to make a voice mail call to some number but I couldn't since there was no service ! The SIM and service work fine in an older Huawei handset provided to me by the people from whom I got the SIM but I would like to be able to use my phone for several reasons.
Any pointers or suggestions ? Some google searching said that you should turn it off and on a couple of times - did that to no avail.

I am poor at English, and since translation was not able to be changed well, either, it writes in in the understood range.
Seemingly, the sim card of emobile cannot be used in galaxy nexus.
Seemingly, only a telephone call will be possible.
Please use nttdocomo or softbank, if you would like to use packet communication.
Since galaxy nexus is sold if it is nttdocomo, this is recommended.

Supposedly unlocked ADR6350

Hey, I recently took a Verizon branded phone with me to the UK (ADR6350) and managed to get it unlocked whilst visiting. I tested the phone in the UK with several different sim cards with the result being successful. I tried O2, Tesco and Vodafone. Unfortunately, when I returned to the USA and wanted to insert a GSM sim card into the phone, it doesn't seem to recognize the network. I have tried h20 and Vodafone whilst in the usa and nothing works. The cell phone will automatically connect me to the Verizon network regardless of CDMA or GSM settings. I will make a call with the new chip in the phone it will automatically try to connect me to Verizon customer services or tell me the network is unavailable.
I am trying to figure out what the problem could be. I have no idea why the cell phone keeps reverting. I know the chips that i have tested work in the USA as I have another mobile to test them in without issues.
Could anybody help or have some suggestions please?
Everybody asks money the unlock code.....

How to use other cellular company on Mexico?

Hi , yesterday I got Moto Z Play on internet, it was supposed to be unlocked, so I put my sim card (TELCEL) but it didnt recognize it.
I put other sim card (MOVISTAR) and worked, then put AT&T sim card and worked again, but with TELCEL it didnt work.
So I searched and discovered that the phone is on AT&T.
Looked on internet and found that I can unlock the phone via a code, but in order to do it that way, the phone has to ask for the code when I put other sim card, but the request doesnt appear.
Does anybody know how I can fix it so I can use my TELCEL sim card . . . ??????
If you bought your phone via internet, it must be unlocked, but i think there is a problem with your carrier not with the phone. Here, in Mexico its a mandatory the sell of unlocked phones with any carrier, but maybe it could be an agreement between lenovo and at&t
If you bought your phone at full retail price it must be unlocked by law, if not you can contact the company that sold it to you and have them unlock it for you.
If you bought it with a data plan it will be locked to that network until after the mandatory period expires.
Having said that, it is odd that it functions with SIMs from AT&T and Movistar (Not related at all) and not Telcel. Maybe is you TELCEL SIM that is not working.
looking for an answer y sadly found the IMEI from this phone is reported as stolen/lost, maybe thats why it doesnt work with TELCEL sim card, lets hope the seller answers my complain
thanks everyone for the comments
where did you buy it man?
I bought it on linio.com.mx

Hi, I have an unlocked AT&T moto Z play from Amazon (paid 6,900 Pesos) and it works perfectly with Telcel, so the phone definitely is compatible. However the sim tray allows for only 1 sim card. Good luck with your seller.
