hey all,
Nokia has made Nokia Drive Beta+ available on non Nokia devices. But only to USA and Canada i think.
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/nokia-drive-beta/9a0f7585-9f16-47d5-8041-28018fcea606
When i try to install and run it (not in Canada or USA) i get a message "Sim card not supported".
and then it won't run. When i remove the sim card it won't work either.
is there a workaround for this? i already changed the country settings to USA

Hi to everyone! I recently bought an unlocked Diamond from Germany. I have tried several sim cards on it and each on works but when i try my greek cosmote sim card it shows an icon sim with an x on it and sazs sim card is missing, that means it doesn't recognize a sim card is inserted. When i try this card into a TyTNII that i own there is no problem!! What can be my problem here? The phone is for sure NOT locked to any network!! Thanks for any answers!
it could either be a problem with the Radio not supporting the network (someone else may know more about the bands than i do) or a problem with the hardware, in which case, send it back to where u bought it (if possible).
Morning all.
I bought a SIM Free Nokia Lumia 520 from Amazon the other day, and found out that its running Windows Phone 8.0.10211.204, which is not the GDR2 update. GDR2 is available for the 520, but its not approved by Vodafone (my network) here in Ireland yet (marked as coming soon on here => http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-update/wp8-software-update/availability-in-europe/). Anyway, since this is a SIM free phone and its unlocked to all networks, can i force it to update? I mean, why does my carrier have a say in my phone if its unlocked?
Thanks.
you can try flash with this (but this delete all from phone, dont forget backup)

Hey guys,
I am in Spain. I asked Sprint to SIM unlock my phone before I left and they said it worked but it did not. I bought a movistar SIM and all I get is 'no service.' Under Cellular+SIM options, it is in CDMA only mode and the option to change it is greyed out. I was in 8.1 so I flashed to 8.0.10328.78 and called Sprint. They want me to update my network profile to send the command to unlock it but it isn't working over WiFi.
The phone knows that the SIM is there, I can access the SIM applications, read the SIM ID and when I turn on the phone with it inserted it says 'switched to CDMA only.' So I think it is still SIM locked. Is there a way I can unlock it? I've never had to deal with this before.
No ideas? I need to know whether I should give up and try to return the plan I bought.

Can Sprint version Ativ S neo unlock ?
Agreed
Just adding to the overall knowledge base here.
I am experiencing the exact same problem.
1. I purchased my phone unlocked (though it was previously on Sprint). I have previously been able to use foreign SIM cards (in France), without issue.
2. At some point, I installed the Developer's Preview of WP8.1 and lost the ability to roam domestically or internationally.
3. I am now in Israel, and tried an Israeli SIM card, but it was on a GSM network. It connected to the network, but showed up as international roaming. Ooops, guess I need to fix that little WP8.1 Beta issue...
4. I decided to flash my phone back to WP8 GDR3, which seems to have un-unlocked my phone. Now when I plug my Israeli SIM card in, my phone automatically switches to CDMA mode.
5. However, if I pop a Sprint SIM card in, I have the ability to switch to Global Mode again.
I have the MSL, but I cannot figure out where I would enter it to get this to stop happening.
FYI.
I had a problem , I live in Ukraine , my phone was unlocked , but when I installed 8.0 my phone worked only in CDMA mode with a Sim card from my service , I updated to 8.1 again using the preview for developers and settings again appeared global regime.
Hi,
I got the update to android 10 yesterday and installed it. My provider is Vodafone DE.
After update, I'm not able to make any calls (or receive ones) anymore.
I already figured out, that this problems does not exists when I'm disable 4G and switch to 3G only.
I also tried out another carrier (Telekom DE), there the problem does not exists (VOLTE is activated).
I cleaned the cache of phone app and google play services. I also already resettet the network several times.
Any more suggestions what could be problem / how to make phone calls working with 4G enabled?
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem, after update to ANdroid 10 no phone calls with 2G or 4G via vodafone in Germany, SMS and (apparently most of the time?) mobile data works in all 2G/3G/4G; another SIM card from the german provider Telefonica/O2 (under the lable BLAU) works fine; the Vodafone SIM also works in my old mobile.
I noticed something else: in the SIM-card settings (where e.g. the color can be chosen for SIM 1 or 2), while under "Mobilfunkanbieter" for the BLAU-SIM card, there appears O2 -.de, vor the vodafone card, it sais "unbekannt"
Did you already find a solution?
I ordered a new Vodafone SIM, same problem; even resetting the whole device to factory mode didn´t help.
Probalb you are aware of a similar (yet apparently sifferent) problem with Nokia 8.1 in automn (I´m not supposed to post URLs here, you may prbably find it yourself in the vodafone forum, the thread there is in German)?
Currently in the UK and gave my USA G781U1 to my mum. Set the device up without local UK SIM card installed don’t recall seeing or selecting an option for region ( no suprise ). After device was setup I inserted the UK sim, all smooth but after installing Uber Eats app it prompted for a zip code instead of post code. Even though the app itself was depicting currency in UK pounds. Any idea why?
I initially thought it was because the region country language was USA but it wasn’t. Cheers.
don't know the reason but go with Just Eat... the other lot are a right bunch of...
