Guys - I have an AT&T Atrix (supposedly unlocked) and running Jelly Bean. Phone works perfectly while I am in USA.
Right now, after coming to India, I am having trouble getting any signal at all with a local SIM card.
After inserting SIM card, I do not get any message about inserting a non-AT&T SIM card - which I am supposing means that phone is unlocked.
But after trying to search networks manually, I am not getting any signal at all....this is really frustrating as this was supposed to be a quad-band world phone.
Any thoughts on this guys? I don't have access to PC, so updating any radios is out of question...
Any help is appreciated!

Hello.
I have an Atrix HD from ATT, I bought it unlocked at Ebay. I used it with my ATT sim Card, then with Movistar in Colombia for vacations and everything was working great. Then I came back to the US, used a T-Mobile sim card and now I can not use any other sim card. The only one it accepts is the T-Mobile one and it works fine. If I pop any other sim card it gives me no signal (a white cross appears in a red circle where the circle bars should be).
My phone is rooted but I have not flashed any ROM or done anything else beyond installing Superuser and Titanium Backup. I already did an internal and an external reset and none works: The only sim card that gets signal is the T-Mobile one. Called T-Mobile and they said they cant help me since the phone is not supported.
My hint is that somehow the T-Mobile sim card switched my frequency bands. Whats funny though is that now I am in Colombia and when I insert the T-Mobile sim card and check which network is my phone connected to it shows Movistar and the signal bars are great. If I pop up my Movistar sim card it gets no signal at all.
Any help will be greatly appreaciated.
You must have setup the sim card lock disable that and then try putting in another sim

Hi, looking for some assistance (again). I have had issues with getting the correct data network on my phone.
The phone is a HTC One M7, I bought it sim free in the UK.
I have put a virgin mobile sim card in the phone and the only network that comes up is EXT, when I try to connect it states that my SIM is not allowed a connection to this network. This only happens where I stay which is out of town. I had the same issue with a TELUS sim too. The only one that works is a Rogers one but I only get EDGE.
In the city they all work fine giving me LTE or HSPA+.
Please could somebody assist?
I got a Razr I XT890 running retail 4.1.2 en.EU rom and despite bootloader unlocking (out of warranty now and rooting neither of two sim cards for Union Wireless (Wyoming, U.S.A.) nor one for Verizon show as recognized: a sim icon as well as the signal bars both have red, crossed circles over them and "Emergency Calls" displays on the bottom of the lock and home screens.
I took it to my carrier and they suggested that perhaps the sim card reader was damaged but I absolutely love this phone; has anybody had or overcome a similar problem?
Dunno if this is true, but is the razr i not a gsm phone and u need a cdma phone to get it to work in the usa? So only the razr m works there?

Verizon is definetely a CDMA carrier, meaning you absolutely need a CDMA phone that is from Verizon directly, same with Sprint in the U.S.
You can either use AT&T or T-Mobile or H2O in the U.S. with your Razr I, before you buy anything, double check on which frequencies those networks operate (cause its different) and then check which one of those are covered by the Razr I.
The Verizon sim card doesn't really do anything, they provide it for their customers who go global, for domestic service all information gets programmed directly into the phone by Verizon when you register a phone with them. Most Verizon phones don't even habe sim card slots, cause they want you to stick with their carrier til the end of time, some phones do, they call it "global ready" then.
Hi I bought an unlocked, Verizon branded Moto X Developer Edition which I intended to use on Koodo in Canada, which runs on the Telus network. When I put my sim card in it has trouble connecting to the network. It connects for a couple of minutes, and then loses the signal for a couple minutes, then picks it up again and so on. It's like it is connecting to cell towers other than Koodo/Telus and cant use them.
I have tested the sim card in another phone and it is fine. I have spent a significant amount of time with Koodo customer support and it has become obvious the problem is with the phone. It doesn't matter if I have it set to global or LTE/GSM and connect to Koodo that way, both have the same result.
Has anybody run into a similar problem? I absolutely love the phone and would hate to find out that I can't use it. I live in London, Ontario and shouldn't have any issues with coverage.
Thanks
I have The exact same problem with a moto X from ATT trying it on Koodo. Maybe flashing the Telus rom or dev rom on it could work. Mine is in 4.4.4 with ATT so I can't unlock the boot loader to do that but maybe you can...

Have you tried manually entering the APN settings?
The Verizon XT1060 (Dev Edition, or non-Dev Edition) is SIM unlocked out of the box. So forcing to GSM mode should work, as long as the APN settings are right.
As a side note, to use a T-Mobile USA Sim, I've had to manually enter the APN settings on my Dev Ed VZW X.
Hi guys,
My toy is a samsung note N 9600 and its factory unlocked. Last week ported out from T-mobile to keep my original number and facing a wried issue.
The day I ported out from T-mobile, VZW network couldnt be recognized when I tried to activate the VZW sim card. "No network connection." and no call or text can be made. However, after I RESET my device to factory model, it SUCCESSFULLY recognized VZW and LTE function works well. Sounds wried? The story doesnt end here.
Yesterday after I turned off the VZW sim card by accident-- n9600 is a dual sim card which allows you to turn either sim card off-- the network connection lost again, im not talking about LTE connection, but all network service including internet, phone call and text function. Tried a lot to get the connection back but failed. Guess what? RESET, THEN VZW comes back!!! Being driven by curiosity, I turned off the sim card agian, and then, as my expect, no network connection. Ok, rest---works---turning off sim card---no connection---reset……
I am really annoyed by this and have no idea why it is. So if anyone of you have clue of it, plz let me know. Thank you in advance!
