Verizon has sim cards? Since when?

Apparently they now carry 4G SIM cards to allow access to their LTE network (see here). The details are a little sketchy, though, and I wouldn't bank on it working.
If you're really interested in doing this, I would suggest going directly to a Verizon store and speaking with someone there. Maybe even see if they'll let you test it out (probably not, but it can't hurt to ask).
The only other Verizon sim cards I found were international ones that allowed roaming on Vodafone's network. Since Verizon in the US uses CDMA for its non-4G network, SIM cards don't work. With a non-4G SIM card you would end up piggybacking on some other carrier's network.
That's my understanding, anyway.

Okay I have a droid incredible 2 it got damaged but it has a sim card its not 4g either so yeah

That's one of the international sim cards, which basically just lets it hop on GSM networks internationally when it doesn't have Verizon's US CDMA network.

So you mean its not possible

I can't say for certain. You would need to talk to someone at Verizon and ask them if their international GSM sim cards work here in the states.
My guess is that they'll tell you it will work, but since you would be essentially roaming all the time you're using it, it would be either costly or they wouldn't do it. Again, I'm not a Verizon employee, so I can't say that's 100% accurate, but that's my gut reaction.

Yeah ok makes sence my incredible 2 can only go into safe mode thats why I ask this

Have you tried putting the sim card on your captivate to see what happens?

Yes but verizon is so protective you have to have them activate it through the phones imei

Unfortunately verizon does not like you to be able to use at&t on there global phones so afaik there's no way to make it work.

I just got my Nexus7 3G in Chile (bought in US).
everything was working fine but after install the Micro SIM (a standard sim, chopped according to mobile company people instructions), the tablet doesn't get data transfer (already purchased a data pack).
on google's support site for nexus, the only solution was "contact AT&T support" but that's for a AT&T user, and here I'm trying to another company (CLARO).
No info on XDA-dev's forum about this issue.
please, some help here...

Do you get a no Sim error or just no signal? Did you input your carriers APN settings into the APN list through settings?

If its compatible with your carrier then its gotta be an APN discrepancy. What APN settings are you using?

Dear All,
i had some issue with my HTC one device. i bought my HTC one model PN07120 and the seller said that it is supporting 4G LTE. in the setting of network i had found GSM / WCDMA / LTE i choose it and it is not working with the 4G LTE. i tried my sim card on other device and 4G working with out any problem. i had also do the APN setting and it is not working.
in my area the coverage is perfect and i use my sim card on another device which is supporting 4G LTE and it works. my provider is Omantel and they using frequency range in 18000 MHz.
however, i had tried some rom to upgrade my device to 4.2.2 jelly been and i successfully upgrade my device and still i had problem with 4G LTE.
i had use RUU to return my device as stock. now it is running on 4.1.2
is my device supporting 4G by knowing the model?
is it possible to have in the setting LTE option and the device not supporting 4G ?
if my device is supporting 4G ,how can i change the carrier frequency on my device?
our country's 4G frequency range is 18000 MHz
my device is making me crazy :crying:
please help me

Hmm try going to settings, mobile data, network mode and see if GSM / WCDMA / LTE auto is selected. What carrier are you through?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

If you could post your wireless provider information, especially what bands they're on, that still help people dig up the appropriate information.
For the purposes of this thread, I assume when you say 4G you mean LTE, and not HSDPA+

You're welcome. Another question. Is this your first LTE device? There could be the possibility your carrier doesn't get LTE coverage where you're at.

I would hope not either. I love mine, but you could try rooting it and putting a custom Rom on it. There's s chance it could he an issue with your kernel too. And if that doesn't work you can unroot and just send it back.

IIRC Omantel is in the middle east. I'm not sure where you got the phone, but I believe you actually want a stock phone who's MID is PN0710000. This seems to be the appropriate model for Europe/Middle East which has LTE (4G) support for 800/1800/2600.
The PN0712000 supports LTE on 700/AWS. This the the current model I have over here in Canada.
Hope this helps.

Sim stood being recognized

Hey there. I got this new moto x and have been holding off on is upgrades until I can get my bearings on what I need to do to ensure fully unlocked and customizable phone in the future as I caught wind of issues doing so post kk. Twice now my Sim has stopped working. Wondering if this was a known issue or if I need to investigate prior to visit the warranty
Thanks in advanced for any feedback.

Just understand that if you really have an XT1053 on ATT, it doesn't support all the bands ATT uses for LTE so you'll fall back to HSPA

Interesting. On 4g now and thought I checked for compatibility.
My issue is that I drop all communication. Not that I step down in speed.

Right, the missing LTE bands shouldn't cause total loss of service.
For ATT there is 4G HSPA and 4G LTE.. not sure how the GSM varients report each. And the XT1053 does support the primary LTE band ATT uses.

Hey there,
I had the same issue. Got a XT1058 and am using it on T-Mobile. I kept loosing signal completely. Sim Card not recognized.
The problem I found is that if you are using a sim card that has been cut to fit the tray will cause signal loss issue.
Went to T-Mobile got a new sim card and been using it without a problem.
Let us know if this helps you.

This has happened on a few VZW phones and the only way to fix is to flash a stock rom/reactivate. So... yeah.

APNs are set by the SIM on Verizon, this is neither an option nor needed.

The APN setting that needs to be changed is within google hangouts

I wasn't using Hangouts, but I tried it. The APN was already set to VZW (there were a dozen APNs in settings, but all the same). I tried it on LTE, but still no dice.

It has to deal with the activation, i'm sure. This has happened to me once or twice on my N2 and S3. I had to reflash back to a completely stock FW, reactivate, and flash back. No clue how it works, but it sounds like it happens when activating the phone. If this happens, there might not be a fix since there is no VZW FW/activation/etc. I spent ages playing in APN and cell settings (the hidden one in dialer.)
Try this, send a text, let it hang, and then toggle LTE off and then back to on again. If it sends, this issue is most likely very similar to those other issues on Samsung.
