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.

  • Will the SIM card work in the iPad WiFi/3G

    Has anyone tested to see if the SIM card will work in the iPad since there both MicroSIM?

    The information is not necessarily dangerous. You're just changing standard settings using the Apple provided interface of the iPad. Nothing dangerous in that.
    The same method can be used with other network providers around the world, many of whom might not put artificial usage restrictions in place purely for commercial reasons. In other more competitive mobile markets, swapping of SIMs between devices is commonplace and actively encouraged.
    The only reason this is not sanctioned by AT&T is because they would prefer you pay twice for the same thing. It's physically impossible to use one SIM card in two devices, so you can only be using the data you've already paid for 'once'.

    Hello, no ice. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    As long as you purchase the GSM model and acquire a Nano-SIM card, you should be able to use your iPad abroad.  Here is some information about this process that you may find helpful.

    I bought a 4G SIM activation kit on the advice of a CS rep, who said I could change out the SIM card on my Verizon Droid X (currently in use with a customer loyalty plan) and switch it to a prepaid plan. But now it appears there is no SIM card to switch out. Google search finds several others have asked that question and the Droid X doesn't have a SIM card, apparently. But, the 4G SIM activation kit "Compatibility" tab claims that it is compatible with the Droid X, so what is the real story here? Do I have to send this kit back to you?

    No. Call Apple Care and give them the serial number. They may be able to tell you who it is locked to.

  • Will a sim card from an iPhone 4s work on and iPhone?

    Will a sim card from an iPhone 4s work on an iPhone 5?

    Tale phone to AT&T store and they will change out SIM Card fro free!  Great perk for being an Apple customer, once again they prove themselves over and over again, I believe they've outdone the Energizer Rabbit. Kudos to Apple. 

  • Will the sim card from my 5 work in the 6?

    Will the SIM card from my iphone5 work in an iPhone 6?

    The iPhone 4s uses a Micro SIM and the iPhone 6 uses a Nano SIM.  The Nano SIM is smaller and thinner, so you should get a new SIM, but some customers have been able to trim their Micro SIM down and gotten it to work in the newer iPhones.  It is a snug fit since it is also thicker, so I would suggest getting a new SIM if you can.

    I keep getting No Service when trying to connect my unlocked phone to a new carrier. I know the SIM card works so it is an iPhone or AT&T issue. Can anyone help me with this please?

    You must complete the unlock process with the ATT SIM in the phone. Follow the directions you received with the email saying that your unlock was approved.
    At the end of the process you should have gotten an message saying that your phone was succesfully unlocked.

  • Will airport extreme card work on other wireless systems

    will airport extreme card work with other networking systems such as time warner cable with a router?

    Note, Airport Extreme on PowerMacs is limited to 802.11g.  If you find you get a router that is 802.11n, and have devices that need 802.11n speed, they should be on a different wireless network.  Otherwise you can set the network to be 802.11n and 802.11g for both 'n' and 'g' devices to hook up to it from the router in question.  Be sure the PowerMac in question does support Extreme, and not just the original Airport by visiting this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1621
    And identifying your Mac in this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3082
    If you can't find your Mac on the article, go to Apple menu -> About This Mac and tell us the Machine ID. If it is a notebook, the name of the machine is on the screen frame. If it is a machine with a display and a built-in optical drive that has no name, it may be an iMac.  That is significant as well.  Since you posted in the PowerMac forum, without telling us your machine, we can't help you further until you do.

  • [GeForce 6] will this 8x card work on my 4x agp slot

    I j upgraded from a fx 5900xt and  I just purchased a msi nx6600gt-vid128 card( agp) .  I have a p4 2.2 , 1gig rd ram and a 400 front side bus (p4 lexington motherboard). I have 2 questions
    1) will this 8x card work okay on my 4x agp slot.  The packaging says that the card requires a 8x  compliant  mainboard, but tech support say they are backward compitable to 4x agp slot.  tOon newegg.com  where i bought it is says it is a 4x/8x card. I am confused .  my fx5900xt was a 8x card and worked on my 4x slot.
    2)Is driver 71.89 okay to use with this card.  I heard 77.72 has problems. what about 77.50 or 77.77 drivers

    any agp x 4 board should be fine
    just it will run a percent or so slower than in a x8 board
    all you need to do with 77.72 is go in drivers
    colour correction
    3 boxes alter to
    all
    all channels
    advanced mode
    and hit apply
