Hi, I tried to delete my post since I thought I already had my answer.
But anyway, I bought the phone unlocked with Lineage already installed.
And it worked great for a week with my SIM card from my OEM AT&T S4 phone that developed problems.
Then the Linage phone lost Network access, so no internet or email etc unless connected to WiFi.
But even though it "shows" Access to the AT&T Network, phone still only has phone calls and text access.
I called AT&T and their Tech tried to fix the Network connection .. but failed.
Then, according to them, my SIM card is not compatible with my phone and sending me a new SIM card that "should" be compatible.
My thoughts are why it was working fine with my SIM for a week, but now it's not.
And if I activate the New SIM and that doesn't help, my Original one will have been de-activated.
UPDATE:
Received new SIM card and after activating it, still no Network access when not on WiFi.
Then spent hours with Tech support while they accessed the phone trying to get Network access when not on WiFi.
They put a Ticket in and get back to me if they find a way to fix it.
So after all that, I put the new SIM back in the Original Phone with Touch wiz problems and everything works even though Touch wiz is still messed up.
Not sure what changed with the Lineage os phone, if anything, or if it has something to do with the Lineage os itself.
Thanks in advance for any info.

"This SIM card is from an unknown source"

I've looked around for similar thread(s) but found nothing. I recently followed the instructions on this website-> "teambamf.net/index.php/topic/3528-guide-to-install-ics-ruu-and-firmware-windows/" and got the phone started up. Unfortunately since I'm not Verizon (T-mobile USA) I've been stuck at the "Activating" screen for hours now and it keeps saying "SIM card from unknown source". Any help to fix either (if not both of these problems) will be greatly appreciated.
P.S - tried rebooting several times and still stuck at the Activation screen after SIM from unknown source.
did you try to boot the phone up first without sim card? The phone by default is locked to cdma and you would have to manually change to gsm in order for it to work.
Try to boot up without SIM (and also any SD card. I had issue that my sd card has a rom in it and it won't let me to get any network data, so I had to erase the SD card and it work. So start without the sd card). Then setup the phone. Once it's setup, change the network to GSM and then shut down and put hte sim. See if this works.
I would suggest check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421341
also, is your sim already activated? I am not too sure if you can use rezound ot activate any sim. if it is not activate, try to activate with a diff phone first and then put in the rezound afterwards.

If you have Verizon and a Verizon branded phone and are getting this message, you need to contact customer support.

Have you tried this solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882355
Otherwise, the Business Sense ROM is based on stock, and this will happen on all stock ROMs, but it should not effect actually using the device... It would be best to move to a CM or AOSP based ROM.

[Q] [AOKP-Neo1.5] SIM card not recognized

Hello,
I just flashed my Rezound (S-Off, HBoot) to the AOKP-Neo1.5-Linaro ROM. Everything works well, but the SIM card is not recognized. I mean that I'm not asked any PIN code when booting my phone, nor later. In consequence, there is no service. In Settings->Security, I can see a field "SIM card PIN" but it is grey, I can't modify it. Sooo... I'm stuck, unless someone knows a way to manually activate a SIM card or something ?
Thank you in advance !
If it works in other ROMs, then you may have a bad sim. Most Verizon reps will replace that for free.

Yes, the SIM card works well with other ROMs and other phones. It is only in this ROM, so I thought the cause would be it...
I flashed a recent firmware (4.03.605.2, found on androidpolice). Back to stock Android+Sense, everything works great, and my SIM card works. For now I stay on it, but if I flash Linaro again, I will update here wether my SIM is recognized or not (who knows, it may interest someone in the future).

I think you better post to that forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1081
You will have more chances to have an answer.
However, after a few researchs, you can read that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906401&highlight=sim+card
Maybe it will help you.
On my side, as I said, I solve my problem by flashing a Stock (~Factory) update to my phone. It updated, among other things, the "radio driver", which is used by the sim card (it's not exactly that, but I prefer let it simple). So in the thread you will post on the first link I gave you, I advise you to mention your hboot and radio (=baseband) versions, that you can usually find in Settings->About phone->Software information (I guess it's not the same path on your tablet though). Also, always mention your Android version and as many details as you can provide when you ask for help.
Good luck !

When I first got the phone both slots worked. I've rooted the phone and installed some things and may have broke something. SIM2 works but the other slot is broken. I'm on tmobile too.
Feiteng GT-A7100 "Mobile Network Not Available"
Oh, gosh, I'm really stuck. Tried two SIM cards (redpocket/att and spot/t) and either works. Sim cards work with
dumber phones. Really like this phone (ie cool android hardware) other than it won't work as a phone.
I also have suspicion about the IMEI. Bought from everbuying.com. please email vjp2 panix com because I dialup and don't
have broadband. But I will try to get back to forum if someone replies. The Phone sees the SIM card (ie, knows name, and some addresses).
I don't know about all those extra setting with initials (some it has, others not).
But it says the SIM card is disconnected. Took it outside, closer to cel towers. Is it possible the sim cards are too cheap.
I only want talk. I've seen doc this phone is 4 bands, others say 2 bands

i have same problem
1) I noticed one of my sim slots (sim 1) was not detecting the sim card. Error message was something like "no sim card" which is different than "no service". In examining the sim slot, one of the gold pins in the slot was not making contact with the sim card. I took a small safety pin and bent the pin slightly up.
** NOTE ** be careful bending this pin up. If you use too much force, you can snap the pin off and then you would be totally screwed.
I then reinserted the sim card and the phone detected it since the pins were now making contact with the sim card.
2) Another thing I noticed is sometimes I get "no service" even though other times I would get 4 bars of signal strength at the same location. I went to settings and disabled the sim card. Waited about 10 seconds and then re-enabled my sim card. It then seemed to reconnect with the phone network.
My carrier is TMobile.

No Internet Data

Hi, I had [ROM][I605VRUFND7][4.4.2]OFFICIAL STOCK ROOTED ODEX/DEODEX[6/13/2014] on my phone for a while and i went out of the country and used [MOD][ROOT] VZW GN2 GSM Unlock - Add APN Data - Remove Non-Verizon SIM Message so i could use that countries sim card which worked.
When i got back i am not able to get any internet with my vzw sim card, but i do get calling reception.
So i flashed back to my old 4.3 rom and i have internet with no problems.
I have tried just about every 4.4 rom i could find and none of them will let me use internet.
So now i dunno what to do, I want to go back to 4.4. does anyone have a clue what i can do to make the internet work again?

[Q] My Moto E doesn't read SIM Card after having flashed Carbon Rom

Hi there guys, I got an issue with my moto E after having flashed carbon ROM. Basically it can't read any more my SIM card content.
What this means is that it can feel if the card is inserted or not (through notification bar and alerts when I remove it), but it simply doesn't work. Which includes total lack of signal (and that's not a problem of the area where I live), no contacts or text message threads, nor even it prompts me for pin on startup. I know it can't be the SIM because it's working on other devices, and my friends' SIMs work on mine.
Also apparently my external SD card seems that got corrupted, as I can't read it even on my laptop any more.
All the rooting process went down quite smoothly, and the problem came only just after I've flashed the Carbon ROM (if it matters, I actually flashed the ROM first, and then Gapps in a second moment).
I tried to flash other ROMs and even the stock ROM (without reinstalling the original recovery and locking the bootloader back though), with the hope to set things back right, but so far no luck.
I've found this thread though, where it mentions that Efs files might be corrupted
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/reading-sim-card-flashing-rom-t1342770
but what are they exactly?
Might it be a kernel related issue? Would I be able to solve it flashing a new kernel?
I'm not an expert in this kind of stuff, hence every help is appreciated.

I've just done that, but, according to the app, the phone is in "WCDMA preferred" already. The thing is that it's not just the connectivity... but all the functions related to the SIM card (PIN, contacts, text messages threads) aren't working... And yet it detects if the SIM card (which works on other devices) is inserted or not.

No SIM can work on that device, but they do on others.
Actually I've just bought another Moto E, as I've bricked that one trying to revert it to the original setting, flashing a Stock ROM.
I've proceeded again with the whole process of flashing the same Carbon ROM (this time after the due nandroid backup), and then again, everything it's working, except for the SIM card. I'm thinking that there's something wrong with it, I'd really like to know if there are any other Moto E users with the same issue with this ROM. Actually, browsing forums around, it appears that this issue happens several time while flashing, but noone seems to know why..
That's a pity though, I'd really enjoy try out different custom ROMs on this device.
Ehy... could it be that the ROM I've flashed was intended for single sim devices only, why I have a double SIM Moto E?
That might explain why, although everything seems to work, the system doesn't enable the SIM functions.
Is there some ROM fan/developer who can actually confirm that, and also indicate me a custom ROM which supports double SIM, if any?
By the way, I managed to get back to the rooted stock rom with my last device, the first one is still there booting. Always do that goddam nandroid backup guys...

The two variants were released in different regions so the custom ROM for single SIM might have different baseband than devices in your region.
Either flash the baseband for your region, if available or else flash a compatible ROM.
OK neo.ank, I'll give it a try.
i have the same problem too.
i was using the cm11, but don't recognize my headphones
