Droid Bionic Sim card

I just received the Droid Bionic today and the Sim card is not recognized by the system and therefore cannot be activated. Technical Support is closed by 11pm and it is now almost 12 midnight. There is no online support to address the issue of a sim card that is not recognized by the Verizon system.
Any suggestions other than waiting to go to the VZW store when it opens?

You will probably have to go back to your store.
The SIM is supposed to be activated when the subscriber info is entered into the system, either by the CSR at the store, or over the phone on that 877 (?) number. Then the card is inserted into the phone and the phone should activate over the air.
Supposed to, that is. My Bionic attempted to activate for 24 hours without success. The store guys were finally able to make the phone activate the next morning by inserting the card into an HTC Thunderbolt, letting the SIM activate, then re-inserting the card into my Bionic, where I was able to set the phone up from there.
Maddening, yes. But you might suggest this to the store guys when you take the phone in this morning.
Good luck, Geri O

DROID DNA SIM CARD ERROR (PREPARING SIM CARD)

Contact VZW for support. They will either need to register your SIM, send you a new SIM or send you a new Jetpack accordingly. Nothing you can do about that one other than reseat the SIM and try again.

Will Droid 2 SIM card work in a droid Bionic?

I have an old Droid 2 phone and I want to purchase a used Droid Bionic that does not have a SIM card. What would I need to do to make it work? Can I put the SIM card from my Droid 2 in the Bionic? Also, can I use the bionic with prepaid if I decide not to renew my contract?

I saw a very detailed tech report on that awhile ago. Verizon is being very clever in that they are using some of the features of the dual-mode R-UIM-like features of the nano-SIM (C-SIM ?) slot for personal account information and LTE data provisioning. But the Verizon CDMA network connection data is still stored in firmware and the integrated whole (in terms of connectivity to Verizon's own network) gets pretty complicated.
(and the older I get, the less interested I seem to be to follow the details and understand the technology - does one grow out of geekness over time?)
Regardless, from the OPs point of view, he'd need an iPhone with CDMA capability, regardless of how the voice and data network provisioning and account info is split between firmware and SIM. A A1429 GSM-only iPhone is just that, GSM-only, no CDMA.

Droid RAZR SIM card

Can you tell me where I can get an SIM card for the Droid Razr. I ordered one from amazon and it didn't come with a SIM card. I would greatly appreciate any help.

SIM cards are free at your local Corporate Verizon store, or you can order one via Customer Service.

Please reply if you are experiencing Droid DNA SIM card errors

Please reply if you have a Droid DNA and are experiencing SIM card errors.
1) Have had it more once every couple of months.
2) Occurs more than once per week.
3) More than once a day.
If you aren't experiencing SIM card issues, can you reply to the other thread?
Thanks!

No sim-card issues here also...! I feel sorry for people who have to deal with this "Known" problem on a daily basis. I'm almost certain owners of the DNA are feed up with the run-around tactics Verizon and HTC are implementing. NOBODY wants to take ownership of this problem and in doing so would cost Verizon and/or HTC millions..! So ------ what do they do in the meantime - they play the blame-game ---- pointing fingers and saying, "It's not me - it's you or in this case it's a software problem --- no it's a hardware problem"...! At this point --- WHO CARES --- I just want a resolution once and for all...! No --- I don't want a third sim-card to try (going on fourth---actually I've lost count), No --- I don't want to take-out the sim-card and clean it then reseat, and above all else No --- I don't want a refurbished phone when my "Brand-New" one is 2 months old..!

Thanks!

I'm still interested if there's anyone with a Droid DNA who is *Not* experiencing SIM card errors.
1) Never even once had a SIM card issue.

As demmo86rt, I'm not expecting too many folks to notice this thread, and so it's not a scientific poll or anything, but it would nice nice to find out if any DNA doesn't have this issue.

Droid DNA Sim Card Error

I know that this error is common with the DNA however it is extremely inconvenient and unfair when we have to pay our bill and the phone gets that error and drops service constantly. It is like Im paying for service that I can't even use. I went to our local verizon and asked about putting a different sim card in and they said it wouldn't really help. Does anyone know when this glitch may be fixed or if it is even being worked on?!?

Hello SLRoss,
We want you to love your Droid DNA just as much as we love you. It saddens me to see that you have a frown face for the DNA. Well have no worries as I am here to change that all around. Let's get these dropped calls taken care of once and for all. May I ask what city, state, and zip code are you in? First, I want to verify that there isn't any network enhancements that may be affecting your service. Also, have you had the sim card exchanged already? If not then I would like to diagnose the device with the original sim card first. If you can be so kind as to send me a private message with your full name, mobile number, and a brief summary of the issue then I can begin an investigation for you. I'm looking forward to your reply.
Thank you...

How to unlock my droid pro sim card while in New Zealand?

I need my phone to work here in New Zealand but before I came I was force to cancel my contract with Verizon because I am here for 8 months.
I need help in unlocking the SIM card while over here so I can use votophone service.

Hi adamwondering,
I can certainly understand you wanting to unlock the sim card in your device for international usage. If a phone is active on a Verizon account our Global Support Team has the ability to unlock it, however if the device is not active we are unable to generate a lock code. If you are interested in unlocking your sim and using on another carrier you can always contact that specific carrier to unlock your device in stead.
Thank you,

Droid Turbo Sim Card Issue

I just bought a turbo online full price, I have an active verizon account. How do I get a sim card for the new phone?

Sim cards are free at your local Corporate VzW store or by contacting Customer Service.

Droid charge SIM CARD not recognized by Verizon Wireless.

every time when i login to pay my bill this comes up first
Your SIM card is in a device that is not recognized by Verizon Wireless. Some services & features may not perform as expected.
and the phones are two months old

Dear zajche,
You are using the "My Verizon" app to try to pay your bill, correct? Once you tap the My Verizon icon, how far do you get before you see this message?
What steps if any have you taken to try to correct or diagnose the problem? Have you removed and reinstalled the SIM card? Did you do a soft reset? Hard reset?
Please provide this and any other information you can think of, so that perhaps someone on this forum can help. Thanks!

Droid DNA SIM card issue--I want to be issued a completely different phone.

So as most (if not all) Droid DNA users are aware--there's a BIG problem with the device/software. The updates aren't fixing it like they are supposed to, in fact for me the errors are worse than ever! A simple restart won't even get rid of it so I have to do it 5 times before it finally goes away. I don't want to be issued another Droid DNA that is going to be just the same with the same issue (thats simply a waste of my time and frankly the Droid DNA has already wasted enough of my time already)
I want verizon to issue me a completely different phone, because when I paid for my phone I paid a lot of money for a phone that I thought would work 24/7--but no, this phone is obviously defective. And I DO NOT want to deal with this for another 2 yrs.
SO my question is---I know I'm not the only one out there that feels this way, has anyone talked to verizon about issuing them a completely different phone free of charge or paying the difference (in the event the cost would be more for a particular phone during the 2 yr contract renewal)
(thanks for any feed back, I'm dreading going up to the store and talk to the people who just want your money or will just tell me they will issue me a new Droid DNA, I've seen the other discussions, the phones the people are getting have the same exact problem!!)

So I wanted to give you all an update, I finally decided to do a chat with a verizon online rep--I refuse to go to a store in fear that I might blow up. I guy I talked to was understanding to the issue and told me what I needed to do..do I like what he said? No, but I was at least happy he understood the frustration and actually ACKNOWLEDGED that this is indeed an issue.
This is basically what he said in a nut shell:
1) Do a factory reset--supposively that will help with the software update
      I backed all my pictures/contacts up on goggle+ and all your apps will be in google play (all except my candy crush           extra lives which I thought was odd/conspiracy)
    RESULT: same error times 5.
          I expressed my hate in having to do the reset but I'm basically going to have to back all my stuff up anyways if I get           a new phone
2) Request a replacement phone--because I spoke to him thru the chat our conversation can be saved to my profile so whoever assits me next will be able to pick up where we left off---I find this to be EXTREMEMLY CONVENIENT! (you can also have the convo emailed to yourself for reference)
    RESULT: Haven't done this yet but I'm waiting for the chat to become avail so I can request a replacement. But I'm              assuming it will NOT work.
3) Once they replace the phone and in the event I still get the error I have to contact HTC and they will have to replace my phone, Verizon apparently cannot do anything after that.
       I want to say I'm made as all get out but I guess I understand that its a HTC issue and not so much a Verizon                      issue..they are basically just stuck in the middle. Do I agree with having to contact HTC--NO. But at this point I will           do whatever I have to do to get a new phone because I HATE THIS PHONE.
My recommendation--Use the so you can have reference and evidence of the issues and evidence for HTC that you have done everything possible to get this resolved.
(to go to Chat: go to Verizon wireless website>contact us (upper right hand corner)>get in touch>Chat now (if avail)

My Droid Bionic just shipped w/ no SIM card...

Moved for greater exposure

Hello jmcross!
Was this a brand new Droid Bionic that didn't have the SIM card in it?
Were you able to get one from the store? They normally have plenty there in order to get you all squared away.

Sim card for Droid Bionic

I need to get a new sim card for my Droid Bionic and I have found several online. I know that I need a 2ff sim card and have tried visiting my Verizon retailer but they said they did not have those in their store. My problem is that I have seen red 2ff sims and white ones. Is there any difference between them? or does it matter which color I get? Please Help!!!!@f

You might try getting a nano-sized SIM card from your local Corporate Verizon store (they're free at Corporate stores) and then using an adapter (readily found at places like Amazon). It would make changing phones easier whenever you decide to replace your Bionic. Be sure to get adapters that will convert the nano to both micro and 'normal' (like the Bionic uses) sized SIMs, then you're good to go with whatever phone you get after the Bionic.

I have an iphone 4 for verizon and i am going to switch phones and get a droid motorolla 4g phone and the droid doesnt have a sim card. does my iphone 4 have a sim card that i can put in the droid? can i buy sim cards separately online for the droid?

The CDMA iPhone 4 does not use a SIM at all. There is no SIM slot. It is a pure CDMA phone.

Switching service from an old Droid Bionic to a Galaxy S5, SIM isn't recognized.

I bought my coworker's galaxy s5. I'm going through the process of switching the phones in MyVerizon, and I'm entering the SIM number in after the IMEI. It's saying the code is invalid, then tells me the SIM code is 20 digits starting with 89, but so is the code I'm entering. I don't know what's up, cause I didn't run into this issue when I switched to the Bionic the same way when my phone broke before.

Which phone were you using before you switched to the Bionic? Did it use a SIM at all, did it use a standard sized SIM card, or were you using a phone that had a nano or micro sized SIM and then you used a SIM card adapter? The reason I'm asking is, depending on the response, even if you can get your SIM from the Bionic to be recognized via My Verizon, it may not work in the Galaxy S5 ... the Bionic uses a standard sized SIM card and the Galaxy S5 uses a micro SIM. If you need a new SIM card, they're free at your local Corporate VzW store or by calling Customer Service (*611 from a cell or 800-922-0204).
