android s1 blaze and walmart family mobile plan

[Amanda Baligad]

so ive tried multiple different APN's to get family mobile sd card to work and register to the network, i even tried putting my friends T-Mobile sd card to see if that one worked but it didn't, im not sure if im doing something wrong or if its simply the sd card slot that's messed up but any ideas on how to get it working? If its simply the card slot then is there a way to get that fixed? thanks for the help, and btw im a girl just trying to figure this stuff out myself so if anything use words I can understand xD

yes that's the one I currently have but got nothing from it :/

I guess its connecting to a network that's the main problem because the at&t and T-Mobile networks will show up but will not connect to either

The T-Mobile support site mentioned that if you have a battery saving app, that it might disable data. Do you have any?

not that I know of because I even tried factory resetting the phone unless it comes with one that I don't know about but doubt it

Sorry for the late reply
Umm, I'm not familiar with APNs but some Google searching gave me this for your specific phone
Might have to look around a bit: https://t-mobile.jive-mobile.com/#jive-discussion?content=/api/core/v2/discussions/19211

yes but I got it from a friend and he doesn't even have a phone service so he just used to for wifi, so my guess is as good as yours :/ lol

Have you tried going to TMobile (going to Walmart would be as much help as asking the postman - maybe less) and asking them for help? The SIM card could be defective. (A small percentage come from the factory defective, or blow almost immediately.) They, or whomever Walmart uses for service, should do this for you (including a new SIM card if needed) for free.

If it's the phone itself that's defective ... well, they may charge you a few bucks for their time.
