Re: Activating an old expired never used sim card for use on an old phone?
Thank you for replying. We just got done trying a new unexpired sim on it. T-Mobile activated the card but unfortunately the phone keeps saying check sim. A friend of ours who also has a special needs person in their household has a different T-Mobile flip phone using the older sim card like the expired ones I have. When we placed that card in our unlocked Motorola flip phone it worked smoothly so I know it's a sim card design issue and not network. If compared the design of the golden colored connectors on the new and older sim cards you'll see there are slight differences.60Views0likes0CommentsRe: Activating an old expired never used sim card for use on an old phone?

Hi Everyone, I have an older relative with cognitive issues that was using a Motorola flip phone she was trained to use. One day she dropped it and the phone's battery cover opened with the battery and sim card flying out and sim card not to be found. We got her an LG V40 with the newer sim card but she couldn't quite use it well. When we put the LG V40 sim card into the old Motorola phone it wouldn't work not because of the sim card size (used an adapter) but apparently the gold colored connectors on the new sim card have a different design than the old ones. I was able to locate several older new and unactivated but expired T-Mobile sim cards. Any way I can get T-Mobile to activate one? I keep getting told that expired sim cards can no longer be activated as they've been removed from the database and no way of activating them or entering them into the database again for use.202Views0likes7CommentsRe: Sprint LG V50 phone on T_Mobile
Hello Everyone, Long time reader first time participating. I abandoned Samsung a long time ago. They do make awesome phone but there are overpriced and my being a single user with a grandfathered plan, no real incentive without adding a line or upgrading or trade-in etc, so I’ve been using LG starting with the V20 to V30 and V40. Unsure but it seems with LG going out of the market I’ve developed a fondness for using the LG V60 but the onscreen fingerprint reader is just too much of a headache and screen pattern not always convenient with using one hand especially if at work and wanting to quickly unlock for a quick peek. . I’d like to get an unlocked GSM Sprint V50 off of eBay. Very good specs and rear fingerprint and I don’t care about 5G really as long as I can use 4G LTE. Anyone here still using Sprint V50 on T-mobile network? I read on reddit that with modifying the apn and the likes, the phone will work great and with volte and no issues. Any thoughts on that based on actual experience and usage? Thank you greatly. FAMD19Views0likes0Comments
