Tilt with T-Mobile Sim Card

I just got the Tilt and have unlocked it but I had to use my spare Roger's Sim Card for the Tilt to recognize the sim card. The Tilt doesn't recognize the T-Mobile sim card when I insert it. On my other phones it will read it. The sim card is about 3 years old, not sure if the Tilt only accepts larger size sim cards or what. Is there any way to fix this?

How did you unlock it?
It's not necessarily larger sim cards, but 3G sim cards if you need to use 3G. But it shouldn't affect your voice signal.

I inserted a different Sim card other than AT&T, asked for the unlock code and I entered it. Unlock was sucessfull but only with the Roger's sim card, I use that when I travel to Canada. My primary carrier is T-mobile, anytime I insert the T-mobile sim, the tilt says the sim card is missing. I thought there was something wrong with the actual sim card but I just placed them in my K800i and w810 phone and saw the sim card with no problem. I don't care for 3g since T-mobile doesn't support it yet.

Did you try to go into network under the phone settings, and select automatic?

It is set to automatic, the problem is that the Tilt believes there is no sim in the slot when the sim card is in the slot.

if the sim is 3 years old it maybe the sim is actually too old for newer devices
we have found this with some devices with some vodafone devices.

I work on all mobiles (In the US) for a living and due to the old SIM revision, it is too old to be recognized in newer devices software. If you go to the T-Mobile store and buy a new SIM for $15 they will move your service to the new SIM and the Tilt will read it.

ATT with G1 with Tmobile SIM card?

Hi, all,
I have a quick question:
I was in Smith, Nevada recently, using a G1 with a Tmobile SIM card, and the phone did not get service. However, the phone did say that there was an ATT network present, and my friend's phone got reception just fine. However, when I tried to manually switch to the ATT network on my phone, I got a message saying that the sim card does not allow me to register on the network. How can I make the phone register on the ATT network when there is no Tmobile service?
Thanks,
Tekgek

Allow roaming? Best answer I got.

You could buy a cheap pay as you go att phone and swap the sim in yours.

Errrm, I think roaming is enabled. Is there a hack or something that can override the sim card's programming?

[Q] Unlocked ATT device no signal after switching SIM

Hello.
I have an Atrix HD from ATT, I bought it unlocked at Ebay. I used it with my ATT sim Card, then with Movistar in Colombia for vacations and everything was working great. Then I came back to the US, used a T-Mobile sim card and now I can not use any other sim card. The only one it accepts is the T-Mobile one and it works fine. If I pop any other sim card it gives me no signal (a white cross appears in a red circle where the circle bars should be).
My phone is rooted but I have not flashed any ROM or done anything else beyond installing Superuser and Titanium Backup. I already did an internal and an external reset and none works: The only sim card that gets signal is the T-Mobile one. Called T-Mobile and they said they cant help me since the phone is not supported.
My hint is that somehow the T-Mobile sim card switched my frequency bands. Whats funny though is that now I am in Colombia and when I insert the T-Mobile sim card and check which network is my phone connected to it shows Movistar and the signal bars are great. If I pop up my Movistar sim card it gets no signal at all.
Any help will be greatly appreaciated.

You must have setup the sim card lock disable that and then try putting in another sim

Is the phone sim unlocked? I don't know how it works with Sprint but that would be the case with GSM providers

If it's Sprint, it's CDMA.AT&T and T-Mobile are the only GSM providers in the US. However, it should work there if you get the SIM unlocked. The SIM unlock code is formulated based on the IMEI, so there are three ways to get it:
From Sprint. Probably the simplest, but tricky if you're not the phone's original owner.
Pay a site or unlocking service with the algorithm that decodes it from the IMEI. Usually runs around $10-$20.
Try the steps in this thread:

You can also try this app, but it only works on rooted phones running the original ROM:

Good luck.

Bro, A CDMA PHONE CANNOT BE UNLOCKED. IT WON'T EVEN WORK ON ANOTHER CDMA CARRIER LIKE VERIZON. ONLY SPRINT SIMs WILL WORK.
Make sure u buy a GSM phone if u plan 2 use it on another carrier.

But the phone uses GSM! It picks up the network here but I just cant get the unlock box

Then it simply isn't a Sprint handset. CDMA phones can only work on that particular network. The phone is custom-made just for that network

Ting

Anyone put their m7 on ting? Did it ask for a Sim card even though I chose the CDMA?

I've now used Ting for over a year. It's a great service. You will need to have a Sprint or Ting SIM card in the device in order to activate it on Ting, but the customer service reps can help you along with that process.

I took an M7 from sprint, activated it on Ting - No Sims involved, if there was - I never touched it / added it/ removed it.

Hmmm it made me get a ting SIM

There has to be a SIM card in the device, though. When you're activating, they ask for a UICC ID, which is the ID # of your SIM card. If you have no SIM at all, you have to get a Ting one. If you have a Sprint SIM, it usually works. Of course, there are always some scenarios where there's an issue and you'll have to get a Ting SIM anyway.

I see, thank you for the info.

Is anyone else having a problem since switching to ting where it seems like WAY to much data is being used according to them , but my end doesn't even come close to the numbers they say are used. I mean when I was on sprint I would use a lot of data . Mostly from tethering. But on ting I haven't tethered and I use Wi-Fi slit of the time now. Basically just trying to find out if ting is doing this to others or if maybe there is just a problem somewhere
