"go-sim" pre-paid global cards

Hello. I am trying to use one of these cards on my unlocked tilt as I want to go to Spain this month and use it there. I can check my balance and I can see the network, Rogers wireless. I cannot call it from another phone and I cannot find a way to call from it. They say I may need the "go-sim menu" which should magically appear under the phone menu or some other menus depending on the phone. Only I cannot find it anywhere.
Has anybody used one of these before? Any help would be gratly appreciated. Thanks.

My wife and I used a similar product from MAXroam during our trip last month to Spain, Portugal and Morocco. Once we put the MAXroam SIM in our unlocked AT&T Tilt devices, there was a new entry in the Programs folder named "Roaming" that we had to use to make calls via a small menu list.
Incoming calls came in the normal way, except that most of them came in as "Private Caller," due to the methods by which that particular service operates. Hope that info helps, and that your trip goes well.

Thanks. I found it on mine it's called ... "SIM Menu". I was looking for a folder... Thanks again

Also, I can call it on ATT although I could not on Rogers, eh!

[Q] Isn't Galaxy note automatically identifies APNs and stuff?

I live in toronto and trying to buy a white galaxy note .
i previously had 2 black galaxy notes, and they had no problems at all to find the APN settings for rogers, bell, and telus automatically. data and everything worked perfectly without setting up. those phones were from germany.
I went to the pacific mall yesterday, and i was looking for a white version.
first of all, she lied to me that the phone is from europe but when i checked its firmware it was the latest Hongkong firmware not european.
second, when i put my simcard in it, it did not detect rogers APN and she manually typed it in setting. i told her the phone is supposed to find APN settings automatically but she said it cannot find it automatically and she was typing APN for every single phone she sold. (she probably didn't remember me buying 2 phones without having to do that kinda stuff .. )
My question is.. that is it related to more like firmware problems? then I could just Odin it to the european firmware and it will be automatic?
Please, if you have any kind of informations.. please let me know...
Few days without my NOTE have been just miserable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks

I can feel your pain
I have a European version, and it automatically finds all the apn numbers.
But I thought that these were preprogrammed in the simcard? Did not know that the rom-version could have anything to do with it?
Not sure if it helps you but im using xxkl7?

I thought so too until yesterday... but she was literally searching and typing right in front of me
conversation was like
She: all the galaxy notes are supposed be like this!
Me: what about 2 of my previous phones i perchased here?
she: we always do it in the back before we sell it to customer
Me: I thought you gave me brand new in box SEALED
and then she couldn't say anything and after 5 seconds she said ..
i don't know if you don't want it don't buy it.
seriously...

Its not the phone's fault that it dint detect the apn.
Its the firmware.
When i got note almost 4 months ago, i had to configure the settings by myself and i stil have to do it , when i install certain roms.

I guess it's the rom problem then!
so does it mean if i flash la4, it should find apn automatically?
i will give another shot tmr... hope there's no open box BS.lol

the one i am trying to buy is an international version and two of my previous ones were working perfectly without creating my own apn setting..
looks like you are using the LTE note released in canada..
if your phone originally was locked with other phone company than the one you are using right now, your phone might not have any other apn setting other than its original one, As far as I know.

I have the international version (I assume, I bought it from expansys), and it worked first time out of the box.

I have a Hong Kong Note with 2.3.5 and it found the Telus apns for me. I was surprised becasue I was expecting to have to enter them manually.

APN is related to CSC
If your CSC is not set correctly, It may not set APN automatically.
*#272*IMEI# show your sales code. If it set correct to your country code, it should have no problem
If your country code not appears, you have to flash CSC separately
NOTE : Flashing CSC or Changing CSC will wipe off data.

[Q] Stock Note 3 lose Unlock after Sent back to Repair

Hi to all
I have a Stock AT&T Note 3 on KitKat, And I bought the unlock code from a website and the Code was working fine
I sent my phone to the Samsung repair center in TX to fix the memory card slot problem.
After a week they sent the phone back to me, and Of course the phone is back to the original settings
When I turned on the phone and inserted my T-mobile Sim card, the phone is asking me for the network
unlock code, so I entered the same code that I used before and it is not working ...
Thanks

You probably didn't get the exact phone you sent them. They probably sent a different one. Check for an old receipt, or the original box for the imei code. See if it's different then the new one. It most likely is. If it is, you will need to obtain a new unlock code.

I checked the IMEI number and they matched
I also thought of that it might have to do with the unlock code
so I ordered another Unlock code from a different site
and it turned out to be the SAME Unlock code from the other site !!

Yes there's only 1 unlock code per imei. It doesn't matter where you obtain the code, it will be the same.
I hate to tell you this, but you'll need to contact the warranty dept and probably send the phone back. Again :'(

Do you think this has anything to do with the Region lock restriction ?

No I don't believe it to be related to region lock.
Check one more thing for me please. Verify that the imei of the phone is what you believe it to be. Open settings and in "about phone" check under status and verify the imei is what you think it is. You can also Press * # 0 6 # on your keypad, Press 'Call' or 'Send' as if making a call. Your IMEI number will be retrieved and displayed on your screen.

NOTES: If you have a Samsung Galaxy S3, S4, Note 2, Note 3 or your Android version is Android 4.4 (KITKAT): All SAMSUNG devices manufactured after the date of JULY 2013 and Samsung devices running on Android version is Android 4.4 (KITKAT) are subject to REGION LOCKING. If your phone has been used previously with the original carrier, this will not apply to you. However, if your device is BRAND NEW, your must activate it with the original carrier. If your Samsung device becomes Region locked, you will not be able to fully factory Unlock your Samsung devices so it can be used internationally. Even the correct code will not work anymore. In order for your Samsung device NOT to be region locked, you MUST activate (FIRST USE) your S3, S4, NOTE 2, NOTE 3 with your ORIGINAL carrier at least ONCE to take your region lock OFF. After your Region lock is off, you can Sim Unlock your device via Unlock Code. All Canadian Carriers are NOT subject to Region Locking. All USA and European Carriers ARE subject to Region Locking. Region lock is removed automatically after you activate your device with its original carrier. Make some calls before unlocking. (Insert an active original sim card into the device and make a few calls to activate the phone and bypass the region lock. Once you've activated the phone, you can input the unlock code.)

Well after reading that I'm amazed. I believed region lock was based on where you lived and used the phone. Like a person in Europe couldn't use an at&t phone overseas until it was used in the states. I was unaware a person in the U.S. had to do the same if they were using it in the U.S. but with a different carrier. My apologies.
You wouldn't happen to know anyone on at&t would you? Maybe a Samsung rep in bestbuy can help you with borrowing an at&t sim and making a call or 2 on your phone.

I tried to use someone's ATT sim and it doesnt work
Also Samsung is telling me that "as you have unlocked the device from third party site , and this is not considered as official unlock for the device"
I might bring the phone to bestbuy and let them check it out.. since the phone is still under Warranty

There's defiantly something wrong if an at&t sim doesn't work. Are you the original owner? If not do you know the original purchaser? It could have been blacklisted.

The phone is working Fine with an ATT sim card, it has signals
it is just that it is not working after I inserted my tmobile sim card
and entered in the unlock code... So the imei should be fine !

I believe you need approximately 5 to 15 minutes of use on an at&t sim card from my previous readings of other user experiences.

Sm-n9208 update can't receive calls

Hoping someone can help me here. I have the dual note 5 sm-n9208. I was told by a tmobile representative that my phone is one of the phone affected by the latest upgrade and makes it non compatible with the cell tower. Basically I can only run 2g on my phone, plz is there a rom that will fix this. I can't afford to purchase a new phone rite now. Alil of what I'm facing: using 4g I can use the internet, calls go straight to voicemail, outgoing calls take a while to connect. Under 2g can't search the web, but can make and receive calls. Did a master reset and the phone came back in Chinese, which lead me to the tmobile store. The language and input was missing. Thanks for reading this and your help. ?

Thanks for this, I was able to fine this info.
It gave me:
AP
CP
CSC: N9208ZZT3CQE4
How do I make sure it was flashed correctly.

There are many versions of N9208, this model was sold in india, taiwan, south east asia countries, etc. Check first country CSC of your phone, maybe it was flashed with a wrong firmware

N950U1 FW Update N950U1UEU5CRG6 - Own Number unknown

Monday I updated the FW of my US unlocked Note 8 (N950U1 / SD-version) with N950U1UEU5CRG6.
After the update I noticed that in Settings - About Phone, My Phone Number is listed as UNKNOWN. I am using the phone in The Netherlands with provider Hollandsnieuwe (=Vodafone). I am certain that the actual phone number was correctly displayed prior to the FW update.
Not sure if related, but Find My Phone/Device does no longer work via Samsung or Google. Is does work through Bitdefender Anti Theft...
Anyone has this or other issue after the update? Thoughts?

Hi, on my 2 Note8 dual sim, it is said : phone number⇒ unknown. And this from the beginning (on every firmwares). I'm in france using two french sim cards in the phone and i bought my phones on samsung shop. Until now, no problem, everything works great.

My branded, but unlocked 950F, as I paid for it the full price to use it as a prepaid phone displays the same, unknown number, since day one, I bought it directly from the major carrier in Mexico which is Telcel, everything works fine, all services and VoLTE

You mean like this seeing on my screenshot? This number is only visible if it's saved into your SIM card. Since a while, the carriers/operators don't write longer the numbers into the SIM card
So if you don't see it now, you never saw it before!
But there was an xposed module (if I remember right on android 4.4.2) where you can change this (showing) number.
(It don't changed your registered phone number!)
At that time I had found that thread
https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?ur...share_tid=2106490&share_fid=3793&share_type=t
That should be the correct GitHub link:
https://github.com/OXINARF/SIMNumberChanger
But it looks like there is a newer xposed module called SIMEditor - maybe that still works (when your device is rooted and xpised installed)
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.gnufabio.simeditor
Greetings
Spoiler
Sorry for German language. The first line: Eigene Telefonnummer means "own phone number"
Don't be afraid to hit the "Thanks" button if someone helped you. It don't hurts

I've never had my phone number displayed in the information menu. As far back as the Note 3, no matter what firmware, official or custom, or even other phones. I live in South Africa. After reading @Logel's explanation, it now makes sense to me why it never showed to me, because of the way South African carriers assign numbers to customers.

I know it's not the exact same model, but my N950F/DS shows my phone number there like normal. Not sure why it's not showing in your case though.
