I bought a Cellcom S6 Edge on eBay. The seller said the phone was currently activated on Verizon, so I bought it.
I put my nano sim in and activated the sim card. The phone can send/receive calls and texts, but can only receive mms and not send them. Whenever I try to send it says failed and then at the bottom "service not activated on network."
I also have a small triangle next to the network signal/4g icon. It does not say LTE either.
What should I do?

I just purchased a Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900A), full-price, off-contract, from AT&T Wireless. I used an existing GoPhone (prepaid) account/phone number to activate the phone. The phone works (voice calls) with the AT&T SIM. However, I want to use the phone/device on aioWireless. I have a microSIM for aio. I have purchased an unlock code and followed the unlock instructions. I received a "Successful unlock" message after entering the 8 digit network code. However, I cannot make phone calls (or use the data plan) when the aioWireless SIM is installed. When dialing a number with the aio SIM, I get a recorded message that the service has been deactivated, and to contact AT&T.
When I try to verify whether the phone has truly been unlocked by typing *#SIMLOCK# nothing happens. If I then push the CALL button, I then get the message: Connection problem or invalid MMI code.
Any clues what is going on?

Do you maybe have to use different APN settings for the two networks?

I have no idea.
I would look up the APN settings for AIO and input those (Settings>Connections>More networks>Mobile networks>Access Point Names)
You could always just call AIO customer service or walk into a store and they should be able to help you out.

I thought APN is just for data and has nothing to do with his inability to place calls! especially that he is getting" service deactivated"
I would check the AIO account if its working first.

APN is indeed simply meant for DATA and MMS
Your phone is functional with TEXT message and CALL's WITHOUT even a single APN setting set up
The main problem here is compatibility. OR the SIM card
SOMETIMES you have to leave the sim card inside your phone for at least 5- 10 minutes
At one time it took me 20 minutes for a sim card to be recognized, then I got 4G
It depends on the network.
But if all fails, just call your new network and try to get a new sim card
As long as your phone is fully compatible, and you know it, there are ways around it.
Hope this helped!:good:
The *#SIMLOCK# and various variants of it no longer works starting from the GALAXY S3 and Above (Not even all S2's accept this code)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have the phone rooted with the SIM unlock. The phone will allow me to pop In a T-Mobile SIM card and search for network. But... When I pop in an at&t sim, the search for network function is greyed out and unable to be clicked to find the att network and connect. Any reason why a tmobile SIM works but a at&t SIM does not?
The AT&T sim card inserted can receive calls and texts, but it will not allow me to make a call or send a text back. It shows limited service and no signal.
Thanks in advance
happens to me too. what did you figure out?
I was given an s6 edge as a gift while on vacation in the US. I put in my wind Canada sim and everything worked fine, I could call, text and my data was working. As soon as I landed back in Canada it stopped working, I can't call, text or use data. I checked for compatibility, and it said that the phone should work with wind. I also tried using the phone with Bell, Fido, Telus and Rogers. The phone would recognize the SIM and would even give me notifications about my voicemail, however when I tried to call someone it would just say emergency calls only. The phone should be unlocked since I have used it with my wind sim card while I was in the US. Anyone know if there's anything I can do to fix this problem?
So I have my Verizon sim in tray 1 & my T-Mobile sim in tray 2. What I am trying to do is have the data push through the T-Mobile sim but still maintain calls and text coming in from Verizon sim. When I set Dial to sim 1 & Internet to sim 2 in the options it just shuts down the Verizon sim completely. What am I missing? Is what am trying to do not possible?
20 views and nada, come on someone has to have some input they can provide me lol
So I finally got the phone to keep both sims registered to their networks and my calls and sms work with it set to my Verizon sim but I can't get the data to push through on the T-Mobile sim!!!!! AHHHHHH
I think the Mi MIx only has 1 4G radio? So that if both SIM cards require 4G connection, only 1 can be connected at one time
I understand, this is exactly why I wanted this phone too! Where did you buy yours and how long till you received it?
No voice calls.

Can you tell me what you did? I have data and sms going through fine but no calls.
Thank you.
Has any one resolved this issue?
I recently got a VZW SIM card, and everything works when it's the only SIM in the Mi MIX...but if I also put in my Project Fi SIM...I cannot send SMS via my Project Fi SIM--which carriers my main number...even though MMS also works on my Verizon SIM card......
I'm with ATT. And I found out I have an issue with my SIM card. I'm not receiving text messages. I switched Sims with my wife and my xz1c receives messages. I went to the ATT store and they gave me a new sim but when I tried activation they said my phone is 3g based and they couldn't activate my sim on the spot. They had to put in an ATT work order and wait and see. Anyone have a similar issue? I think it's a ploy to get me to buy a new phone they were offering too.
