I can't get this card to work. It has been activated at T-Mobile but my phone says it is not. What can I do?

If you called T-Mobile and they have activated the sim for you and in their system the sim is showing active than its not an issue with the sim, it's your phone. Reset your phone or go to a local phone store have them configure the phone for you with the proper settings or you can configure the phone settings yourself using link from online. Search tmobile sim settings configuration for whatever phone you are using. Hope this helps, good luck.

See Mar 6, 2014 by islander what he says does work. I followed his answer and it worked for me. Islander said: "Buy the phone but do not activate it with AT&T.; Have CC send you a sim card under their bring your own phone deal. Unlock this phone this way. 1)With sim card removed turn the phone on. 2) Dial *2767*3855# This will initiate a Full reset for Samsung a157v. 3)Once the phone restarts, Dial #*7337# This will remove SIM lock and reset the phone. 4) Now insert the CC Sim card and restart the phone. Call CC to activate the phone Worked for me". Since I had a working SIM card for Family Mobile I just installed it and did not need to call my provider to have it activated.

I ended up receiving a SIM card cut down to nano. It never worked. T mobile will send one for free upon request. I should have done that to begin with. I was charged 45 dollars freight and handling by the provider of the card. I strongly advise not to purchase.

I just experienced the same thing. I got the phone yesterday, plugged in a SIM I already had from England and that worked so I went to AT&T;, got a SIM and put it in. It didn't work but the sim worked in other phones and other sims (eg T Mobile) worked in this phone. Now, a couple of hours later, it's working. Go figure.

The one I received was unlocked. I slid in my AT&T; SIMM card and a micro-SD memory device and the phone worked perfectly. Don't know about T-Mobile.

You could try and see if it works, my T-,mobile sim did not work, and they gave me anoter which did. You might want to contact ATT or check at one of their stores to see. Fastest way to know is to pop the sim in the socket and find out.

The card should work as long as you buy the LTE card new. You will have to call your service provider and have them activate the sim card with the phone for you.

It works with T mobile. I myself is using a T Mobile card. It worked well when I was using that unlocked phone.

hi if its a sim card then you can just put it in the phone and start using it, because the phone is unlocked but if it doesn't work then i think it will be more advisable to take it to the AT&T; store. but i think it should. hope my answer was helpful.

We put our existing sim card from T-mobile into this phone and it works perfectly. I hope it helps.

Hello,The one that I ordered *did* come with a SIM card - I don't know if there is a guarantee that all of them will ship with a card, but I think it probably should. The card is the new "micro" size, I believe, so I couldn't just stick my old one into this phone. However, t-mobile makes it super easy to activate the new SIM (or "update" your SIM information into a new card...same phone number and stuff). Search for "activate tmobile sim" on google, and it's like the third link. Here's the link (hopefully Amazon doesn't remove it) - http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4677.

I do not know why it does not work with them. I got AT&T; and my SIM works. Are you sure your sim card is activated?

Not sure, mine was tmobile so I took it in to a local shop. You might have to contact your phone service to see if they need to do something on their end.

I think the SIM card has to be that of your service provider and you need to call whoever you choose as your service provider to activate it. In my case, my SIM card was provided by AT & T and I called them to set up monthly service for my phone. They sent me a special device to connect my phone to and convert this land-line phone to wireless service. Good luck!
