I have been reading up at the T-Mobile website.

Pay as you go system:

One prebuys minutes - up to $100 for 1000 minutes which expire after one year.

And texts cost 10 cents which I suppose comes out of the prepay amount.

MMS (pictures) cost 25 cents.

Seems the pay as you go system does not provide any Data.

So, people who purchased that $2 T-Mobile SIM card to play with might not have any text/MMS until they activate and add dollars to the SIM card account. And certainly data will never work unless one signs up for a monthly account which includes a data plan.
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
Has anyone actually ACTIVATED a gsm SIM on the Rezound? I think that's what my issue with using my T-Mobile SIM on the rezound. I can't get any service on it whatsoever. So has anyone been able to activate a GSM SIM with the Rezound or do you need a dedicated GSM phone to do it?
[HTC Rezound] loyalhtc:
are you stuck on the activation screen ? is that wat ur saying?
[HTC Rezound] Kiersten_Kress:
No... my co-worker has post-paid T-mobile plan.(2-year contract)

I took the SIM from her smartphone and put it in my Rezound.

Again, voice works great, out-going SMS works, but absolutely no data. :(

I took my T-Mobile prepaid SIM card(on $3/day unlimited voice/data) and put

it in her phone, voice/sms/data all work just fine.
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
There is no activation screen. I already activated the phone with my Verizon 4g SIM. This is exactly what I did.

I bought the prepaid SIM online got a dollar. It came with a pamphlet that said to activate it online. I went online and it told me to activate the phone with an activation number, The SIM card number, and the MEID number on my phone. I put it all in the respective fields and it asked me which plan to choose. I chose the pay by minute plan and put $10 on it.

I booted up the phone with the GSM SIM and it just says SIM full in the status bar. I clicked on that and it says I have no messages on it. No bars come up for service and I changed the radios to GSM only and tried wcdma too. No service at all.

That's what I mean by activating the SIM. Can anyone help?
[HTC Rezound] Kiersten_Kress:
based on what you wrote, I don't understand why you couldn't get any bars of T-Mobile signal... that's exactly how I got m T-Mobile prepaid SIM card to work. (selecting "GSM only" mode)

the only things I can think of are:

(1) is there T-Mobile coverage at your location?

(2) try the same SIM card in another phone(better yet, go to nearby T-Mobile store)

(3) restart the phone

(4) make sure the SIM is inserted in the correct way

(5) call your new T-Mobile number and see what happens

(6) restore the phone to factory default and try again (which wipes EVERYTHING and start from scratch)

Good luck! :)
[HTC Rezound] PUTALE:
It may sound odd but did you putvthe back cover onto the phone? The radio antenna is on the back cover, so make sure you have it on.

Also, I had weird issue where I had android is on my ad card so I took the ad card out and it works.
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
1. I'm not sure If there is actually coverage where I activated it. I guess I just assumed. I'll try in a different area.

2. I don't know anyone else with

T-Mobile phone to try my sim on. I could stop by a store.

3. I have restarted the phone many times.

4. I placed it in the same way as my Verizon sim.

5. I have called it, just goes straight to voicemail.

6. I have tried flashing a few different ROMS with no luck. Never tried a factory reset, though.

What confuses me is the SIM card full message, then when I click it the screens says I have no messages. Thanks for the suggestions though.

I am aware that the back cover has antennas and not having it on loses reception. I made sure it was in every time and I've tried like 8 times.
[HTC Rezound] PUTALE:
I actually had similar issue with the sim card full of message error as well when I first time put my card in the phone. Did you had SD card installed? if so, please take it out. For me it turns out that the SD card has another android in it so it interfere with the phone. Once I took out and erase the SD card, the phone works without any issue.
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
I tried booting it up without the SD in and I'm still getting the SIM card full message. Also on the lockscreen it says "SIM card is from an unknown source". This is starting to get really frustrating.
[HTC Rezound] Abu-7abash:
Flash any sense 4 rom, that will get rid of the annoying unkown-sim message on the lockscreen.
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
I've tried using sense 4 ROMs too and still nothing.
[HTC Rezound] Abu-7abash:
You still have that annoying lockscreen on say Pkmn and Rezrom roms? :what:
[HTC Rezound] narta:
On the other hand I can't get data to work on 4.0 Roms. I just installed infiball Deuas 1.0 and it's working fine.

PKMN, RezRom 2.1 is no go

FML
[HTC Rezound] Abu-7abash:
For some reason data stopped working for me on Pkmn after a couple of hours from the flash.
[HTC Rezound] Abu-7abash:
Nevermind, turns out its been a network error on my provider's side.
[HTC Rezound] briankariu:
Same here. Data works when

'it feels like it'. am on pkmn right now. Used requests are not working onany Rom...but stk works in pkmn altho flinched n works 'when it feels like'

Has anyone used the rezound in Afghanistan? Heading there Monday.
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
I have no experience with this, but you might want to look at this website. Type in Afghanistan and see which of their cell phone companies cover the areas you will be in.

http://maps.mobileworldlive.com/

I don't know anything about this, but google is your friend :)

Looks like GSM 900 Mhz is most used over there

http://www.telestial.com/view_product.php?ID=LSIM-AF01

There are so many websites on the subject.

You are probably best asking any military friends you might have as they probably have the experience and know the best deals.

If the rezound won't do the job, there are low cost GSM phones available from amazon.com and walmart.com - like the sony erickson phones.

If the cell phone companies in afghanistan don't do data, then a cheap GSM simm unlocked flip phone might be all you need.

Anyway, let us know how well your rezound works for you in Afghanistan.

Regards,

Howard
[HTC Rezound] PUTALE:
I finally s off my phone and flashed to the custom rom. I really like the work of the guys. Quick question on those who uses custom Rom, which one is the best for gsm use? I tried a couple and notice that I do not get notification for the voicemail. I notice that I also got sim card full error but the phone still works. Also I guess the in call keyboard is still not functional. Can you guys suggest one that will work.
[HTC Rezound] Abu-7abash:
I'm on Rezrom s4 and everything except both sending texts and calling service provider numbers (*116#...etc) do work. Results do vary though from a carrier to another.
[HTC Rezound] PUTALE:
which version are you running because I tried the latest 2.3 and still the keypad is not working for me. I guess it can be just my carrier. I am on ATT.

BTW I fixed the sim card full by updating the smc and it not disappeared from the screen. Still the keypad is still not functioning.
[HTC Rezound] Abu-7abash:
The keypad issue isn't a rom one but like I said a provider related one. I've tried my Rezound on two providers here though and luckily both have the keypad working when on a call.
[HTC Rezound] EclipseX:
In portugal npne provider work with keypad. I switch to other full gsm phone and work.

Soo the probleme is with keypad not with operator
[HTC Rezound] Abu-7abash:
And I've had the exact opposite experience, doesn't entitle me to make a generalization though :rolleyes:
[HTC Rezound] EclipseX:
Man I have nexus s..and work

Droid razr and work

Galaxy s2 and work
[HTC Rezound] Abu-7abash:
No ****! Every damb gsm phone will successfully do just that. When I say its provider dependant is that for some reason keypad over a call works from the Rezound on some providers while failing on others, so again its provider dependant.
[HTC Rezound] piizzadude:
2.3 has some issues. Wait for the next version and try again. It is just some mixed up files but could make a difference

[HTC Rezound] Comedie:
Simple global Rezound possible

Headed out 2maro to South Africa, tho live in US and on Verizon. Currently using original HTC Incredible and a very old unlocked RAZR for overseas.

Been following this forum a bit, and sounds like the Rezound is more or less global as is, and then there are the latest 'fixes' to handle it all.

So my questions:

With ICS OTA apparently coming, and down the road VZ updates, how likely is that to kill the global capabilities that exist now?

I'm techie in other arenas, but not phones. I'd like the phone to work as a tool and have minimal fuss. If I were to apply the fixes to SMS and such, does that begin a never ending game of always trying to reapply fixes?

While I see the fix posts in this thread, what framework exactly is needed to apply?

And then, could those fixes go haywire with some future VZ update?

I have maybe 1/2 day to make a decision. Would certainly be nice to have one VZ phone for home, and then the same phone with outside SIM capability when traveling. I just don't want a lot of continued hassle with it. VZ seemed to have very little that they claim as 'Global' available at the moment. They also are apparently getting ready to change plan rules, so that migrating up to 4G will lose the unlimited data 'grandfathering' I currently have. So it seems a decent time to move to something like the Rezound, so long as it doesn't eat up a lot of time and trouble to get/keep it global.

Opinions and answers please?
[HTC Rezound] ProFragger:
Same question, except for ATT? 3G is working on AT&T US now? Along with everything else?
[HTC Rezound] Comedie:
VZ Rezound global coming

Yes,,,, I went in to look at the Rezound yesterday. The store mgr told me that from what he was told, sometime in June the Rezound and some other phones would be globally enabled. That bit of info sold me on it, since my prior post here went unanswered. For now, I can just use Lte On/Off to at least be able to enable GSM for simple phone usage overseas, w/o having to remember or keep track of the 4636 string. Then sometime soon, sounds like the full VZ enablement will happen.

It's a bit of a brick with the extended battery and clamshell case, but more bulletproof and likely to work when I need it to. With non-VZ Skype that uses wifi, TextFree, and GSM enabled phone, it should do me fine on this trip.
[HTC Rezound] jungledave:
What about network selection?

So I'm able to roam on my Rezound using an ekit roaming SIM and have voice/data working.

However, I can't seem to find a way to select what network I'm on. This is important as data only works on certain networks when roaming.

I'm using the leaked Sense 3.5/ICS ROM. The Mobile Network settings menu doesn't even contain the Network Operator selection menu.

I tried The "ChooseMyNetwork" store app, which links into the Available Networks menu, but "Search Networks" and "Select Automatically" are both disabled.

Has anyone figured out how to view / select the network to connect to using the stock ROM? Do custom ROMs allow this?

UK t-mobile

I am in the UK and got my self a T-mobile SIM put it to my rezound running CleanRom 3.7 and data and service came up right away after setting the radio to WCDMA preferred. But a day later the data won't come up any more.

Just thought I would add my 2 cents. I am only here for 5 days and have WIFI at work during the day so i can deal with it.

voice + GPRS/EDGE data confirmed working on 900 & 1800 bands?

Hi guys.

I'm very sorry but I can't find a clear and definitive answer to my question even after searching the forum for hours.

I understand that the Rezound works fine on the 2100 MHz UMTS band, but what I need to confirm is that it can also use 2G voice and data (GPRS/EDGE) on the 900 and 1800 GSM bands.

I am interested in getting a Rezound but here in Belgium you absolutely need the 900 band, and preferably also the 1800, to have a seamless experience, as 3G data coverage isn't always available.

Additionally, can the Rezound, with the latest ROMs and fixes for GSM, use all these services concurrently, i.e. switch seamlessly between 900/1800 GSM and 2100 UMTS voice and data?

It would be wonderful if someone from Europe could confirm that, because I am getting a different answer from each post I find when using search and that is really frustrating.

Thanks a lot!
[HTC Rezound] Abu-7abash:
Yes and yes.

My provider uses the same frequencies yours does, and my Rezound is flawless both 3g and 2g network wise. And ofcourse you can easily switch between the two after you run the patch on any sense 4 rom.
