im having "sim card is not from Verizon" permenent message in task bar
do you know how to remove it ?
Take the phone to any Verizon store and you will get help there. Whenever I have issues with my phone I bring it there and get help immediately. You will likely be given a new SIM
sent
Are you using a non Verizon sim?

So I recently purchased the Samsung Captivate to use with my AT&T GoPhone plan, but every time I boot up the phone, I get a message that says
SIM card crash
Check your SIM card or
contact customer care.
The SIM card works in other phones just fine, so it has to be a problem with this phone. I tried unlocking it, but that hasn't helped, and other carrier SIM cards work.
Any suggestions?

I met the same problem. Any suggestion?
Thanks !
That sim card is not compatible with the captivate.
hey people, id would very much appreciate of someone could help me with this issue.
here is the deal:
i have moto X from CLARO (Colombia), on KK 4.4.2 (t-mobile firmware - SO NOT STOCK CLARO FIRMWARE)) , unlocked bootloader, rooted (soon with a non stock kernel). today i got in the mail a new 4g sim card (yay!!! 4g finally came to colombia what evs...). THE PROBLEM IS THE SIM CARD IS NOT ACTIVATED YET, see, along with the sim card i got instructions detailing how i should go about activating the sim card, which basically goes something like this:
1. dial *611# (USSD code), press send and wait for the options to appear.
2. in the options menu, dial the number 9, which should say "Sim 4g" and press send.
3. next the system will prompt you to enter the serial number of you new 4g sim card.
4.type in the 17 digit number of your sim card that's located in the bar code (this is on the plastic card that the sim card came in) and press send.
5. a message will appear telling you that the change has been done successfully, wait a couple of minutes until you have no signal on your current sim card and the switch to your 4g sim card.
ACTUALLY THE REAL PROBLEM IS!: whenever i dial *611# i dont get the 4g option, my theory i that because i am not on claro's firmware i dont get that option (but i do get all other options), or it has something to do with kit kat?.
i guess my question would be:
- is there a way to activate a sim card that doesnt involve taking it in to my service provider? (considering i have an unlocked phone i no longer have warranty)
- has anyone anywhere gone trough something similar?
-any ideas on a possible solution?
I got my nexus 6 the other day, finally ready to activate it on Verizon. I had a spare nano sim from the iphone 6 I sold. I called in and gave Verizon my sim ID and the IMEI of a spare iphone 6 at work. They told me it was activated so I stuck my sim in and booted it up. The setup wizard tells me still to insert a sim card. When I go into settings-cellular networks, search for and select Verizon, it tells me that the sim doesnt allow a connection to this network. I feel like though that my phone isnt even recognizing the sim (says no sim on the lockscreen). I figured what the heck, and decided to tell them that I have a nexus 6 and to see if they can force the imei in. They say they can do it so I give them my N6 imei. Even after that its still showing the same messages, and they then tell me that it could be the nano sim that im using (that came in the box with an iphone 6 from work) will not work in my phone and to grab one from the store.
My questions are:
Has anyone had issues using a sim from an iphone 6?
Does it still show the "No sim" message even if you have an unactivated sim installed?
Has anyone gotten these similar messages when selecting Verizon form the cellular networks?
Maybe you can go into a Verizon store and tell them your sim card stopped working and see if they give you a new one. Say it was working with your Nexus before but then it stopped and see what they do.
Was the sim from the iphone 6 ever activated? SIM cards can typically only be activated once.

It was not. It was bought as a replacement phone so an already active sim was used in it. I had it laying on my desk (although come to think of it the phone was bought as an "upgrade" so that may be possible.). I've never heard that they can only activate it once though.
I installed Sim Card Manager and it tells me the Sim Serial Number is unavailable. Does anyone have a non activated sim they can toss in for a sec to test and see if it stills says no sim card on the lockscreen or shows the sim serial in that app?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have searched and could not find an answer to my issue. I purchased a T-mobile variant Galaxy S6 it was stuck on the Samsung logo but I only paid $100 so I figured worst case scenario sell it for parts. I managed to get it to boot everything works except cellular service. If I remove the Sim it says "Sim Card Removed" Restart. After restart it goes immediately to No Sim Card . I insert the Sim and it says "Sim card Detected" Restart. After Restart No Sim Card???? Checked IMEI its clean, flashed stock via Odin, pulled what little hair I had left out. Any words of wisdom? Thank you in advance for your time. forgot to add no mobile networks option at all in settings?
Does the SIM card work in another phone?
yes sim card works in other phones
Could be why you paid $100 for it. If your SIM works in another phone then there is a issue with the S6 being able to read your SIM. Have a friend with T-MOBILE? Try their SIM card. You might have a picky SIM.
of coarse it's why I paid a $100 for it, no matter what I can get my money back out of it but I was hoping to be able to fix it. Tried several sim cards same thing it recognizes the card restarts no sim card. I was thinking it might be the sim card reader itself but the fact that there's no Mobile networks in settings makes me think it's software related? Oh well I guess parts on ebay here I come. Anyone need a new display LoL
Same issue
Hi there. I have exactly the same issue with an O2 unlocked S6. I used my Ee sim on it till two weeks ago when suddenly i lost all network capacity (same as you). Previously i flashed an unbranded stock firmware in order to get rid of the o2 logo (may seem stupid but that was what i did). After 2 weeks of normal use with the new rom suddenaly i couldn't give/receive calls /texts. Since, i tried wiping, flashing, advanced wiping etc but same issue. Any advice is more than appreciated.
Novice with Turbo XT1254 on T-mobile wants to ditch "SIM card is not from Verizon"
I bought a XT1254 after some light research showed it working fine on T-mobile. I just got a T-mobile SIM last night, and was worried it wouldn't work, but skipping through the "This is not a VZW SIM" message at startup actually let me go through without activating (using WiFi option) and it picked up the T-mobile SIM and connected to LTE pretty quickly. I have not tested full connectivity yet. One thing I'd like to resolve is the constant "SIM card is not from Verizon" notification I have. I'm new to all this, so I don't know if this is something that can only be fixed by/after rooting the phone, or if there are some less drastic options that would allow me to remove this and other VZW bloat. Can anyone help a new guy out?
Thanks.
There is an Xposed module called NotifyClean that might be able to help you out with that. However, that would require the xposed framework and installer, which would require you to unlock/root your phone.
"One thing I'd like to resolve is the constant 'SIM card is not from Verizon' notification I have"
By "constant" do you mean some kind of notification always at the top? or just when you boot the phone?
Here this video will help:

That fix is temporary until you reboot your phone. Permanent answer seems to be to root your phone and remove that app.
