I use a t mobile sim card and when I tried to insert it in this phone it says ''sim card is not detected. How do I make it work? Any thoughts?

Go to All Settings > Mobile Networks> Access Point Names. Choose the network sim and then reset to default. That may help

Only thing I can think of is that your sim card data settings is turned off. I believe its under the mobile network/connection settings

It takes any sim card, as far as I know! If it doesn't work, it might be because your simcard is locked to your old phone, which you should be able to fix by calling tmobile customer service. I had to do this with my AT&T GoPhone sim.

yes it will work with a(an) T-Mobile sim card. You'll just have to purchase a T-Mobile starter kit from either here on Amazon or via the T-Mobile web page for about a dollar.

Xperia M works with T-mobile prepaid sim. However, my Xperia M has some problems with loading my sim card and keeps restarting itself. I'm not sure which is a lemon, Xperia M or a sim card.

islander's answer above also works with T-Mobile. I bought a "factory unlocked" A157V from a local retailer, but it wasn't unlocked. Dialing *2767*3855# then #*7337# (without a SIM installed) unlocked the phone so I could install and activate a T-Mobile SIM.

Not sure. How I checked for "compatibility" was to see if my carrier offered this model of phone. Also, you can check Amazon and see if this phone model is for sale with the TMobile sim card installed. I can say that the phone is unlocked, but that does not ensure compatibility. You have to know whether TMobile is GSM or CDMA, and if they sell sim cards separately. Good luck

This is a T-mobile phone. I had broken my girlfriends, so I purchased a t-Mobile one. Your 'sim' card must be a t-Mobile SIM card in order for it to work.

Yes, you have to log in to your t-mobile account and and activate your new SIM card. You can also go to the nearest T mobile store to activate you SIM card too.

Our carrier is AT&T so when I plugged in the SIM card it worked fine. I do not know about T-Mobile

If it had been unlocked, yes it will work with T-Mobile SIM cards. By the way, do not get confused by the term "unlocked". An "unlocked" phone usually means this phone has been unlocked from its original network; for example, an unlocked AT&T; phone can now work with T-Mobile SIM cards in it. Another meaning of "unlocked" is unlocked bootlaoder; that has nothing to do with SIM card, but for the custom ROM or "aftermarket" android operation system.

This phone has 2 slots for sim card. One is for regular, and the other one is for micro sim. Both should work with 2G and 3G/4G (also called HSPA+).I'm using mine with my T-mobile micro sim.Also, to Emery who answered before: you phone is probably defective. Both slots should work perfectly with T-mobile. But anyway, I don't think it bothers you.

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.

You may buy a T-Mobile regular size SIM card, then activate the SIM card, it will work with this system.

I have tmobile and had no issues. Just put in my sim card and it worked fine.

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.

Hi, Yes, you should be able to put your SIM card in and it should activate just fine. Thank You
