SIM and eSIM Data connection drop from 5G or LTE back to no data connectivity or E (2G) connection this seems to occur on both SIM and eSIM across multiple carriers, tested with two different Pixel 7 phones and these carriers:
SIM CARDS:
TruConnect (T-Mobile MNVO)
Tello (T-Mobile MNVO)
Visible ( Verizon)
US Mobile (Verizon & T-Mobile MNVO)
eSIM:
Tello (T-Mobile MNVO)
Note stability of eSIM seems to be better than physical SIM but still temperamental.
Note: I own multiple phones of different brands with no issues with these Physical SIM Cards or connectivity.
I have the same problem on both P6 and P7 on Tello. Internet consensus seems to blame MVNO provisioning. Tello is blaming T-Mobile and Google (for breaking 5G with A13).

Write down the default APN the phone assigns and make a new one. Switch the APN Protocol from IPv6 to IPv4/IPv6. Many on reddit have reported this to work.
What worked for me was just converting my pSIM to eSIM but others have reported that this worked and then stopped working again.

I had an MDA Compact 3 (2.5G phone I believe).
I have upgraded to the MDA Compact 4.
However, T-Mobile did not sent ne a new SIM.
Surely my original SIM is 2G and the new phone is 3G.
Should I not have been sent a 3G SIM too?
Or are all T-Mobile SIMS 2G and 3G enabled?

T-Mobile shuld be Edge
My T-Mobile UK Sim Card was supplied when I got my MDA Vario 2 years ago. The phone was 2G only but my SIM card is 3G. I have read elsewhere that T-Mobile only supply 3G SIM Cards - regardless of what phone you get from them. HSDPA works great.
If only Orange did the same. They only supply 3G SIMs with 3G phones. I'm stuck with a 2G SIM that I never use.
It depends on your country. Here all operators are UMTS, so also T-Mobile. They can block UMTS on your sim-card (but can remotely enable it for you), but there's no difference here between a 2G and 3G card in a physical way.
Edge doesn't even exist here anymore, that's soo 1999
it all depends on how old the sim card is, i had a very old O2 simcard and that was not able to run 3G (the card was too old) BUT all newer simcards can run both 2G and 3G (depending on the service coverage)

My understanding is that here are 2 different types of SIM Cards - A SIM (2G) and USIM (3G). 3G will not work on a SIM card - you must have a USIM card. The SIM cards are very different - not in looks, but in the chip.
T-Mobile UK issue USIM cards for all phones, and these will work on 3G.
Orange UK issue SIM cards for 2G phones and these need to be replaced to work on 3G (but try asking for one from Orange and it confuses them to death).
If you do not have a USIM you will not get 3G. The network cannot remotely enable it if you have a plain old 2G SIM card.
I got some free Orange and O2 PAYG SIM cards a couple of months ago and none of them were USIM and would not work on 3G. I think that it why there are so many free PAYG SIM offers at the moment - the networks are trying to offload old stock so they can start issuing everyone with USIMs.
Thanks to all...
I got my SIM card from t-mobile in jan 2007, so I guess its 3G??
Fot the data connection I get a G sometimes and sometimes H on screen but the manual says 3G should be displayed.
On my sons nokia on the three network, i can see 3.5G on the display. That is whats confusing me... i dont see 3G!
H is HSDPA - high speed 3G (3.5G). T-Mobile are/have upgraded their network to HSDPA in the UK, so you won't see 3G symbol on your phone.
Hi,
Hopefully someone can help here - I'm assuming its an isolated situation since no one at Verizon (US) or M1 (Singapore) can help me with. I have a HTC One (Verizon) that works perfectly in the states. I am overseas for a few months and confirmed with VZ Global Services that the phone is pre-unlocked so any local carrier will work.
I chose M1...everything on the phone works great, calling / SMS / Internet / Data...etc. However I am given this error anytime I try and turn on the Mobile Hotspot or USB Tethering:
"None VZW UICC present
A Verizon Wireless LTE SIM card is not detected. Mobile Hotspot/Mobile broadband Connect service needs a Verizon SIM card in order to work."
note:: Hotspot works perfectly in the states....
I've spent a lot of time on with VZ Global Services and at the M1 store here. VZ was not helpful, as soon as I admitted to using a SIM that was not theirs, they stopped all support. At M1 store we tried a variety of SIM cards; prepaid, postpaid...etc. None of them fixed the problem. Only suggestion left is to call HTC. So thats why I posted this in the general HTC rather than Verizon specific.
If anyone has any idea how to go about troubleshooting this it would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I should add - the phone is stock, not Rooted, APN changed to sunsurf (which is what M1 uses).
I am having the exatct same issue right now. I am in India and I have a prepaid SIM card from Idea and when I try and use the mobile hotspot I get the same error.
When activating the Hotspot function the device does an entitlement check against Verizon's server. Without a Verizon Sim it will automatically fail and not allow hotspot usage. Only way around it is rooting and removing the entitlement check or using a custom non-verizon rom.
i belong to India, i have htc one max,and i have also facing same problem,please tell me any solution if possible
Hi. I'm new (and old) so apologies in advance for any faux pas. I couldn't find another thread with a problem like this, so I'm posting a new question.
Here's what happened:
I have been using Ting MVNO SIMs on two Galaxy S8 phones for about 18 months. Preparing for an overseas trip, I asked T-Mo to unlock the phones so I could use foreign SIMs.
T-Mo unlocked the phones, but now I can't get wi-fi calling to work on the Ting SIM. Tried a MintMobile and FreedomPop and the same thing, no option in the tools or phone app to activate wi-fi calling although it is activated at the MVNO and the E911 addresses are correct.
T-Mo says it's impossible that unlocking did that. Well, it happened. Ting doesn't have a clue about how/why it happened or how to fix. Samsung says it's the carrier's problem not theirs.
I factory re-set hoping it would restore the lock, but that didn't do anything. I don't get a signal at my home, so wi-fi calling is necessary. My next step is to buy new phones.
Ideas? Thanks!
my mate 10 Pro (C185 UAE REGION) has suddenly lost GSM or 2g connectivity on both sims simultaneously. I connects fine on WCDMA & LTE (3g/4g), however when GSM (2g) is selected signals disappear with a cross (X) sign on both sim slots.
Software was updated last month in November - 20 to 10.0.0.180 with July-20security patch. I have hard rest the phone to factory settings, rest all network settings, taken the device to service center but nothing has helped so far.
Have also engaged with network providers and replaced old sim with new sim but issue still persists.
I used to keep phone on 2g or GSM to conserve battery & for coverage in remote areas where 3g/4g services are not available as I have to travel a lot because of the nature of my Job, but now I have to keep both sims on 4g at all times which affects battery adversely....
Could anyone out here please provide some solution.

Also facing same problem here.. Any help from any one? Thanks
I've been a Sprint user for years and have used PdaNet to tether my phone to my pc using usb and having internet that way. I'm currently using a Galaxy S10+ and doing this, does this app work with this model phone too? I'd like to upgrade to the S21 Ultra but want to make sure this method still works. Are there any issues with PdaNet on the S21 Ultra, or specifically with Sprint and this model phone when using the app? Thank you.
I'm thinking of testing this, but I want to find out if the test will be relevant to you.
If you are using a Sprint SIM card, or if you are connecting to a Sprint tower, maybe we'll have different results.
I'm a Sprint customer pre-merger. I have the S21 Ultra. I now use a T-Mobile SIM card, *NOT* Sprint SIM card. They configured my phone to connect to T-mobile towers. I live near several strong T-mobile towers. I can connect via 5G or 4G, but I turned off 5G to save battery because I'm usually connected to home wifi.
What is your situation in terms of type of SIM card and which towers you connect to?
I have an old LG G6 phone that still has a Sprint SIM card, and still connects to the old Sprint towers. The performance is quite different.
Anyone have any luck? I have an s21 ultra with legacy sprint plan running a sprint sim, not the updated T-Mobile Sim. I have tried PDA Net but I believe the phone was just passing along the home wifi connection and not the data connection on the phone.
