I bought an 8525 on eBay that came without a SIM card. I just threw in my old SIM and proceeded to flash WM6 and several radios before I realized that my lack of 3G connectivity was due to having a years-old, non-3G Cingular SIM.
Any suggestions on how to go about getting a replacement from ATT? My hesitation is that ATT thinks I'm still using a Nokia with my $20 MediaMax 200 plan and I'm worried that they might try to bump me to the $40 plan.
I received several letters from Cingular shortly after I moved from California which urged me to go to the nearest store to pick up a new SIM due to network changes. Do you think I can walk into a store with the old SIM in my old Nokia and get an exchange without too much hassle?
ya just put your sim back in your nokia and go to a cingular/Att company owned store and tell them about the letters you received and they will replace it at no cost. If you go to an authorized retailer they may charge your $25 for the new sim.
I think you'll have better luck if you go in with the phone and the old sim in it (your plan phone not the EBay one). I went into a Radio Shack near my work last week when I got my 8525 and asked for a new SIM and told them I spilled coffee all over my phone and it toasted the SIM and they still wanted the $25 for the card.
What a joke! The card is a worthless piece of plastic until they activate it so I can't see the $25 charge! Fortunately, I am responsible for acquiring Blackberries and activating them for our company, so when I got back to the office I dug around and found a spare 3G Cingular branded SIM and just called AT&T and activated that SIM on my 8525. Getting 3G no problem now.
I visited the local company-owned store, walked in and walked out 60 seconds later with a new SIM. No charge and no questions asked.
ya rat shack is an authorized retailer and will always charge for sim cards. glad you were able to get one free hixter
$20 media max plan is for sure the way to go.
Hey everyone. After receiving my VZW Galaxy Note II, my wife decided that she wants to upgrade to it as well. We placed the order for her device and we received it last night. Upon going to activate it I was receiving a no SIM error. I took the back plate off to check the SIM and the card was inserted backward, with the gold contacts facing up instead of down.
I popped the sim card out using the push in spring to release it. It came out smoothly, no force necessary. Upon pulling the card out, one of the pins is completely broken off in the tray. So I contacted Verizon.
Multiple calls later, multiple trips into a local store - I am told Verizon is washing their hands of it and we need to call Samsung to have it repaired. Is this for real? Does anyone know if the cards are inserted from Verizon or from Samsung? Why would a simple mistake like this not be covered by the worry free guarantee?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
the sim never comes preinstalled so that makes no sense to me.
yep the sim never comes pre installed but any way if you have asurion claim accidental damage and pay $100 is better than a $699

I had the customer service rep on the phone tell me the same thing, which caught me off guard. At my work, every 4G device we purchase wether its an Android or an iPhone - its always preinstalled.
The card was also damaged a bit too, because it only is supposed to go in one way. So it was inserted and then forced in.

They shouldn't have to pay for it if it's Verizon's fault. The sim is installed by Verizon or which ever 3rd party you have purchased from.

if it was from a 3rd party store then yes you right but I been verizon customer for 6 years and since the first 4g phone I have received never never had the sim pre installed
Fight to return the phone.
Make complains to Verizon. It is not Samsung's fault.
The question is who installed the SIM card.
If Verizon did, they owe you a new phone/SIM/whatever it takes to resolve the issue.
If You did, then you could try to get a new SIM and see if it works. If not... you're beat?
It sucks but it is what it is.
The SIM was pre-installed in my GN2....as well as my DNA. Caught the Verizon Clerk off-guard because she took out new cards from her drawer. I think new Verizon 4G phones (going forward) have their SIM cards already installed.
Pre-installed SIM Cards
I work at a Verizon store, and I can clear up the confusiuon about SIM cards being pre-installed. iPhone 5, Motorola Droid Razr/Maxx HD, and the Droid DNA all come in with pre-installed SIM cards. Where as none of the Samsung phones on Verizon do, well not yet anyway.
So, I just came by to let you guys know that it does happen, just not always.
:silly:
Mine was pre installed Verizon opened the box yanked the phone out installed the sim then shipped the phone my way

Could you not return it (within your 14 day period) and get another one....Claim you wanted another color????? My vzw rep installed my sd card and sim card right in front of me, you would think he would make you do it to keep safe for this exact reason.

I thought about this as well. However, the last thing I want to do is it get sent back and then Verizon charges me retail cost for a phone that is defective - which is what the rep on the phone said would happen. Thats why I would "have to go to Samsung."
I contacted our Verizon rep that handles our account at work to see if he could intervene and help out a bit. He doesnt think he can do much either, but will look into it. Such a cluster, I'm livid with Verizon.

If you bought the phone from an authorized retailer, they are responsible to fix the damage. Buying if through a corporate store, I would've denied this happening at all.
Makes no sense, if it's defective it should be replaced

My Best Buy bought Note II came without a SIM. Obviously, the Verizon retards f'd up and they need to be held accountable instead of passing the blame to Samsung. Talk to Verizon corporate and file a BBB complaint.
Just got my 2 new GN2's today and neither of them had the SIM card installed in the phone. Pulled them out of the boxing brand new, had to cut the SIM card from the little credit card sized holder, and install them myself.
Was slightly embarrassing as I am used to simply clicking it in easily and when I was on the phone with Verizon activating them, I had to put the cards in and was having a really hard time doing so. You really have to click these things in deep on the Note 2 for them to be fully inserted. I had read this thread prior to getting my Note 2's so I was extra cautious in this situation. Had them put in gold contacts face down, the nipped corner on the left side, and just kept pressure on it until it finally clicked in place.
I could see why some people had problems doing it, especially if you compound that tightness issue with installing the card improperly.
Verizon is hiring a bunch of new people for the holidays and they dont know sh#t about sh#t. The girl could even get the back plate of the note 2 off..she finally did and inserted my sim card right out of my s3, she even asked me for my sd card. They should be fully responsiable for their mistake.

From what I gather, this phone was ordered online therefore it rules out the people in-store.
Anyone else buy the phone outright with an existing prepaid plan? If so, did your old sim card work right away? It didn't for me.
The clerk at the T-mobile store inputted my phone number into their computers but then proceed to place my old sim into the HTC One and I was on my way. When I got back to work, I realize that my phone still isn't detecting any network. Did the clerk screw up and I was supposed to use the new sim? Or was I supposed to ask him to sim unlock my phone?
Thanks.

Hmm thats strange, if its the old sim in your phone then you should have it already activated and it should work. I don't think it matters if they put your old sim in as long as it fits and is active. Why would you have to sim unlock your phone, was the old sim not Tmobile? I would call 611 and have them check, it could be just be an activation issue, which still sounds pretty weird

My phone works perfectly fine and I am currently on the $30 100min unlimited text & 5gb data. I simply took the micro sim out of my old phone and put it into the HTC One, but I came from a HTC One S if that makes any difference. Oh and I'm running the 64gb Dev Edition
What phone did you have prior? Was it not a smartphone?

was this a micro sim card that was put in your phone? Actually, your phone is suppose to automatically update to the new sim. If not, then please give the prepaid department a call and they will ask you for the sim card number they put in your phone and activate it with your existing prepaid plan.
Thanks for the replies. I switched my sim card back to my old phone for the rest of the afternoon. I tried again on the One when I got home and it worked this time. Kind of weird, but whatever. Been playing with my phone since I got home and loving it!
Do you mind letting us know how did you get the T-mobile HTC One on a prepaid plan? I called up the sales dep. and they said this phone was not available for prepaid customers yet!

I bought it at a local T-Mobile store. They didn't have a problem with it.
Tmobile makes u purchase either a postpaid or prepaid meaning you must attach new service to get to purchase outright cost .Meaning if u already have a prepaid SIM and owe nothing till next month In order to get any tmo Device outright you have to pay another months bill with the purchase of the new phone .
I tried to buy the I5 with using one of my two existing lines, they said an error came back saying I had to make a bill payment to get it for 579$ ,which means essentialy even tho bill wasn't due I had to pay 70$ again.Now I'm paid up till June ,same with the HTC one I got today had to pay for another months prepaid to get it for 579

Yes it is available for prepaid I got a HTC one and I5 on my existing prepaid lines and paid the 579 but u must pay another months bill if u already have prepaid because they set it up that way u can't no longer just walk in and buy a phone outright for the Cheaper outright price without paying some type of bill payment wether u have a line or need one .Kinda tricky but that's the deal
So ya you can get it for 579 on prepaid

For anyone who has ever bought from Amazon, I just bought a Samsung S4 at full retail from Amazon. When it comes do I have to go to Verizon to have it activated?
Yes, I asked this question at amazon's forums but they were less than helpful and couldn't give a concrete answer.

I think you should be able to swap sims and then activate using *228 could be wrong tho because ive never purchased that way.
Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.
I'll try that when it comes...I've got a iPhone 5 currently. I'll just pop this one out and follow what you said.
4G LTE phone's don't activate using *228. Did Amazon also ship you a 4G SIM with your phone? If not you'll have to request one from Verizon. You can get a SIM when you activate your new phone's IMEI on on Verizon's website, where it will ask you if you have a SIM already (the iPhone 5 one doesn't fit) or to send you a new one. If they did send you a new SIM, you just go to Verizon's site and click Activate or Switch Device where you enter your new phone's IMEI and then the SIM card's ICCID and you're done. Of course if you don't have a SIM it's faster to go to Verizon and have them give you one.
Just pop your sim card in, don't press *228 it puts u on a 3g prl....

Corporate stores sim cards are free. Non corporate they'll charge you. Just so you know

I ordered my S4 from Amazon a few months ago. They sent a sim with it, I put it in, went to the website and activated it and within a few seconds I was good to go. The instructions on what to do will be on the sim card package they ship to you with the phone. Just keep in mind that because you bought from Amazon they have their own separate termination fee, so if you break contract within I think 6 months you will get hit with a fee from Amazon.
edit: nevermind, just saw you said full retail, the fee probably doesn't apply to you
Like the title says, I've looked in every T-Mobile store and they're not selling any since it's a "year old", just the S2. Went to Best Buy...they just sell Sprint and Verizon versions but you can't get them unless you get a contract with them. I've looked online, and I'm scared to purchase one because most just say "750" without the model at the end (for example 750T for T-Mobile). I've found a AT&T watch and was thinking of ordering it since most of you guys on here have said it's compatible with a T-Mobile sim, but you only get 2G speeds, or I can get prepaid such as Straight Talk or H20 as well. Any suggestions as to where I can purchase a T-Mobile Gear S? Can't find anything on Ebay or Amazon

I did, but he never replied. As for the prepaid sim, I can't find none of what they were talking about in this forum. I've looked for H20 and StraightTalk at my Wal-Mart, but there's no H20, and with StraightTalk, I don't know what card to get. They spoke of one expiring after 90 days (maybe that was the H20?) but every card there expires after 30 days, even if you don't use all the texting and calling minutes.

The AT&T $10 device plan only works if you already have a family shared plan with them. You also can't use it on T-Mobile's Wearable plan because T-Mo locks this plan to IMEIs of T-Mo version Gear S or Gear S2 only.
The Gear S is already over a year old. Most places already cleared them out for Gear S2. eBay is probably your only bet for any device of this age.

Yes you can. I read that many people did that. AT&T is supposed to supply an unlock code if you call, but I've seen that many people had different outcomes. Some were able to get it, some had to keep on calling nad persisting, and others had no luck. Although beware that in unlocking the device, when you go to another carrier (such as T-Mobile) that it will have 2g or HSPA+ speeds instead of 3G or even 4G since the bands are different or something like that.
I sold my unlocked ATT gear S last month, because I managed to grab an LG watch Urbane 2nd edition LTE before they took them off the market. For what it's worth, I bought mine from ATT, had it unlocked by ATT, and used it on Tmobile with the wearables plan for a year. (As soon as I put the sim card in my LG watch, it did something to my wearables plan and i could never get it reinstated. In general, unlocked ATT Gear s devices no longer work with the $5 Tmo wearables plan, but with any other regular Tmo sim card.)
Anyhow, in New England, I was getting 3G speeds sometimes, if I recall correctly.
To get the ATT Gear S unlocked, you need to have been an ATT postpaid cell customer at some point, and provide that respective phone number to them. If you have a friend who is a customer, they could submit the unlock request for you as well.
Otherwise, ATT forces you to "wait 90 days" during which time you have to pay for a plan with them.
There was also an Ebay seller who was selling unlock codes for around $10 if memory serves me well.
By the way, the regular retail price for the ATT version is cheaper by $50 than Tmo's, so definitely worth going that route.
It would be unbelievably helpful if you'd let us know how much you love it =), on a side note I does anybody have a bricked Gear S? I'll buy it =)

Yeah, AT&T's stupid 90 days plan. Way too much. I don't wanna be paying 50 dollars a month for a watch. I found a friend who has a watch that is 1 month old and was selling it so I brought it, and it's from T-Mobile too so it's a win, win. It's only 5 dollars a month (plus an addition 10 for insurance). AT&T is selling the watch right now for $199 outright. T-Mobile isn't selling it at all, but before they took it down it was going for $250. I went with T-Mobile because $199 plus tax comes out to $220. Then I got to put 30% down for AT&T's stupid plan plus an additional $20 or $30 dollars extra (forgot for what) which comes out to $76 dollars total. So add that to the $220. Then the following month I'm going to have to pay a one-time activation fee of $15 dollars, PLUS the service which is $50 dollars (but if you're already a customer with them it's $10 a month), PLUS if you haven't already finished paying off the watch, you're going to have to put down money for that before the 3 months is over. Too costly in my opinion. I just payed my friend $120 (cause he has $80 left due in his account so I'm paying off that) and then just the $15 bucks a month so I'm good.
I think my friend has a bricked Gear S, but he has to send that back since they gave him the one that I have right now lol.

If you mean the Urbane, it's mindblowingly awesome, with a battery life that's out of this world. My Gear S was great for the year I had it, but the Urbane is so much better; I've been using it daily for almost 3 months now.
The only updates Google needs to make is allow voice calls over BT and a way to manually update APN settings, both possible with the Gear S.
Don't buy an att gear s if you plan to use the android rom on it. Att locked the bootloader on their gear s and so far there is no way to unlock it so no rom for us.
I have a T-Mobile version and I shopped for it on my local Craigslist. You just have to be careful yet persistent. Ask for better photos and definitely take a copy of the ad with you when you go to check it out for hopefully your purchase. My seller had a warranty replacement and it is in near pristine condition. I have replaced his original watch band, thanks to eBay. And I do have a broke clip on the charger cradle that I will eventually replace as well.
Also, Swappa is an excellent place to purchase items. There's 2 sides, there's the Swappa.com and then there's Boneyard where you purchase stuff not able to be sold on regular Swappa like broken glass, missing parts and devices for parts. Google both. Hope this helps!! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Now, I did in fact have an AT&T branded Gear S that I tried, unsuccessfully, to get to operate on T-Mobile. I wanted the wearables sim card and I put T-mobile's in it. It would NOT work for me as I was told by many support levels (twitter, email, and phone) that the T-Mobile wearables sim card was not provisioned for the AT&T branded Gear S. I gave up and sent that version Gear S back, getting a full refund and purchased what I described in my opening of this post.

I bought an AT&T branded gear S from swappable a couple of months ago and I am using it with my wearable sim card without a problem. I already had the plan though with a tablet and cut down the sim put it in the gear and called tmobile and they turned it into a data and phone line for me as it was only a data line.

I already had the plan though with a tablet and cut down the sim put it in the gear and called tmobile and they turned it into a data and phone line for me as it was only a data line.

NIce. I found a really good deal on a AT&T Gear S but not sure I want to get it because my luck isn't that good. lol So your AT&T Gear S works exactly the same on T-Mobile then? I don't have a tablet plan so not sure what I would have to do to go the route you did.

So far it's been working great. But I already had the plan so I don't know if it would work. Call tmobile and see if it could work. I mean they turned my data only plan into a phone line

I know a T-Mobile manager. I called him today but he was off. He's worked his magic before. So let me get this straight your watch has it's own number and you get 4G speeds?
