First find out what your carriers settings are, like the APN settings. See if it's gsm cdma.. You can try going in the phones settings and checking them out open the dialing pad and *#*#4636#*#* and look around.
hi, thank you for your response, that menu was the first thing i tried lol, i put an o2 sim in and i got it to show the H symbol next to the signal bars which still had a cross on them, it also auto installed the apn settings other than that, no change

You cannot unlock the SIM card with a code from anywhere online it doesn't work that way because number one the SIM card in these phones is only to allow the phone to get LTE internet speeds number two the MEID is how the phone gets service not just the SIM card cause you can remove the SIM card and the entire phone will still work just without LTE number three you can't insert another carriers SIM card and then have the phone ask you to enter the unlock code because the phone will never ask for that code when you put another SIM in there it will just say invalid SIM card and nothing else and number four, the phone is unlocked via uicc and has to be done on the carriers side not some unlocking websites code....

No. Because many people have gotten the unlock codes and not a single person can find a way for the phone to ask for it. Of course he IS in Europe and their rules are different there so he may have, who knows.

Why don't you just take your phone to your carrier and have them program it to use their services?!?!

It could be a legitimate unlocking site that he used and expected it to work with his 510 (which they probably don't say that they don't support it), in which case he can probably convince them to refund his money.
Or it could be a scam site, in which case he'll have to do a charge-back or something to get his money back.
Also, he could take it to his current carrier but given the evidence of previous users, they won't unlock and program it for their network because the likelihood of them being able to is slim to none.

It seems like he's screwed then. I unfortunately don't know how or what settings to use to help him with the issue. He did say "should I contact o2?" So I asummed he could contact them I guess.

The shop just took your money.
It was never SIM locked. NEVER. EVER.
It would always work and will always work on any networks that it's compatible with (3G on 900/1700/2100 MHz bands).
It would never work and will never work on incompatible networks (3G on 850/1900).

Oh the irony
AFAIK, it has been reported multiple times as "advertised as SIM-locked", and everyone that actually bothered to check found it SIM-unlocked.
And the Nexus in question is T-Mo one, original FW. I happen to have one and know first hand it's not SIM locked and never was. Your point being?
Just because you pissed me off with search thing, read:

lol, don't waste your time.....there's no coeds to be had for this, its predominantly locked to O2 or Vodafone, so cannot be Sim Unlocked. I've tried many times since this phone was released.
thanks. looks like no choice but to pay for it. are those paid codes via supplying your imei in the internet reliable?

Nope. You can't trust people now a days, don't risk it and waste your time.
i wouldn't even think about unlocking it. These days most people don't need to unlock them, last person i spoke to about unlocking my salsa didn't even know what it was let alone have software for them....
Internet unlocks will rip you off. I did it once on an old Nokia 5000, got the code...same as the free sites, didn't work. Couldn't get a refund either.....my advice is, want the phone sim unlocked, buy a phone on the network your on!
Problem is the fone is from a relative from abroad. Its lock to vodafone. The only carrier here in the philippines are globe, sun and smart. Thats why i need to unlock the fone. Its was recently given to me.

Not all unlocking website are fake and not trustworthy. There are lots there who provide excellent service.
Check this one out - unlockmydevice co uk website...
Simply submit the IMEI and your will get the unlock code in your email.
Hope this helps..

I don't actually need to unlock my SIM I am just simply curious as to what would prevent us from unlocking it without purchasing a code. My reason for asking this is since our device is now bootloader unlocked and rooted why can't we flash something that would unlock the SIM if that information Is stored in a filesystem somewhere or since it is android that the dialog box pops up when you insert a foreign SIM card into the phone simply write an application the emulates the behavior of that application and thereby unlock the SIM. I'm most likely thinking about this wrong but I am just curious. Does it have to do with an encryption that is too difficult or too time consuming to circumvent? Or is it illegal to do this without purchasing a code? Or is there something I am missing?
Thank you and sorry if I wasted your time.

There is a way. No one knows it though.
Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
I'm pretty sure the reason why, is because the company you bought the phone from (in our case, AT&T) has to give those people the code, to give to you. I always figured the reason we couldn't do it ourselves is because it has to be done by the network. I.E send a signal to the phone via a tower, telling the phone it's now SIM unlocked. If someone would correct me if I'm wrong, that'd be nice, lol.

I would say you're wrong. People in India and South America have bought codes and unlocked their phones. AT&T's signal doesn't reach that far ... :laugh:

Ah, okay, haha.
I'm not gonna pretend to know everything about the sim unlock process, but the sim unlock code sends a signal to your phone's radio that tells it "its ok to listen to other signals now". Put in the wrong code too many times and it won't accept codes anymore. Some of the older phone/radio combos could be software unlocked...meaning as long as you ran the right combo of radio, firmware, and executables it would unlock itself...also had to do some wacky steps for some phones.
So, lemme tell you a story. A very short story.
About 4 months ago, I called t-mobile because my account had been suspended, and I was afraid to loose my phone when I needed to carrier switch.
About a week ago, I finished paying off my S8. The phone I care about. I did this because I was told by 5 different representatives, even when I explicitly asked "If I pay off my device in full, can I still unlock the device without paying the rest of my bill" that this can be done.
They all lied, or were wrong. I was told after paying the phone off in full that the reps were wrong and that I cannot unlock the device until I pay the bill, however I now own it.
So heres the question: Is there any way to bypass or remove SIM lock? Or would the unlocked firmware work by chance?
Thanks,
-CSxKING
PS: I don't mind if I'm a little out of date, I just want to use my phone, because this loaner s7 isnt mine for much longer.

Depends on if you can prove you have the ability to unlock it. Giving out IMEI's, espeically to your own devices, is risky business.

Sims lock is usually done by the carrier and it is unlocked when it is paid off.
So what can I do in that case?

Whatever carrier the phone was originally purchased on has a lock on it. If the phone has been paid off with that carrier you should be able to contact them to have it unlocked. If it hasn't been paid off with the original carrier then the original purchaser of the phone needs to have that done.
Most carriers will not unlock the phone unless it's been paid off.

Open a case with PayPal and eBay and get your money back. It's either a phone that hasn't been paid off yet, or a stolen phone.

If the device wasn't paid off then it's fraud and they will make good. There was / is a thread here about selling a device that wasn't paid off in full. Well this is what happens if you do sell or buy one in that state. Maybe you can call the carrier and ask if it's paid off. If it is they will unlock it for you.

Ebay has a 30 day money back guarantee to protect the buyer. I've used this a few times, and they always get me my money back! Unless your past the 30 days, then you can file a paypal claim.
I have the same issue. It's a Google issue from what I hear. I got my unlocked new pixel 4 right from Google. Put in my ATT sim and it said "sim isn't supported, contact xfinity". Hahaha..
so I contact them and they send me a new phone. Same thing. This is a very new issue and I finally found someone asked the same question on Google assistance and it was said it was a google issue and they are trying to fix it.
What a crock... I can't believe Google's own phones don't work as they should.
Rest assured, its most likely not a stolen phone, or unpaid. It's a Google problem.

Are you kidding? Ok, rereading I see what you are saying. But they must have given you a reason as to why your sim doesn't work. Where are you located?
I didn't say Google sent me a stolen phone. Re-read the post and the link. It appears to be a Google software issue.
Have you personally experienced the problem? I have, as have others in the link I posted and the OP.

Post edited above. This is not a Google problem, imo. Where did you buy the device and which version. Perhaps you bought a Verizon model like some of the posters in the thread you linked to? This is not a known issue so you folks are doing something wrong whether it's buying the wrong device or your carrier doesn't support the phone. But it's really up to you at this point to figure out where you have gone awry.
