Hello All,
I have the LG Optimus l9 and my wife has the Samsung Galaxy SII
While driving through the 14070 zip code, we have no service. Signal is there, but can only make emergency calls.
according to the coverage map, that area has Service Paterners AND t-Mobile... I looked on both phones and when I searched for network, it showed GSM and CDMA AT&T towers, no T-Mobile.
No matter what I did, our SIM would not connect. Said not allowed.
Steps I took:
1. Removed batteries
2. changed to 2G only
3. Changed to GSM only
4. Changed to the CDMA or whatever the other option is
5. Auto
6. Turned Airplane mode off and on.
nadda..
Any ideas? When I zoom in, the coverage map shows that I have signal for Partner and 2G. I drove ALL over that zip code and got service no place. This happens on BOTH phones, so I know it's not a phone issue. the SIM cards were purchased 3 days ago.
help! I really need coverage in those areas when I'm visiting.
