    Galaxy A01 can't send texts but have internet

    You make a valid point, I tend to forget the location(s) it was designed to work in. Plus in our area the carrier is going to kill 4G (which we know the phone never showed when connected. I may do some ebay shopping and hopeful end up with one that works in teh USA. The local Metro folks...

    Galaxy A01 can't send texts but have internet

    Laura & Mustag B Diddy et al , thanks I will try to get a new SIM I will be amazed if they GIVE me anything but a hard time <sigh> I always thought the number of bars was strength of signal to the device. In my case, I have all the bars with the circle too .... go figure. I'd send a...

    Galaxy A01 can't send texts but have internet

    Can someone tell me what the CIRCLE Icon with the slash mark means, in my status bar? Seems like nothing I can do will make it go off. It's not related to the volume setting as I have read It isn't airplane mode or do not interrupt... Seems like my inability to do anything with the phone...

    Galaxy A01 can't send texts but have internet

    Yes but it only shows it as 2G/3G or each one separately, NO 4G choice at all A015M/DS (mine) If I remember I got in online from Ebay I had a sim from a core prime and I think i used that one but maybe not. NB: When it was setting it up I thought it was odd that the Microsoft app name was in...

    Galaxy A01 can't send texts but have internet

    The ones that came with the phone are what we are using. Doubt that Metro would hand me 2 new ones. Seems that most of the employees are pissy to deal with in person, dunno how they stay in business imho. Ones you get tech support have been great. Obviously I'd have never thought to question...

    Galaxy A01 can't send texts but have internet

    Well similar to what I have, in most respects. Odd thing is the device is supposed to be 4G, but it only shows me 2G/3G as choices.. wife's phone show the same. Ads I see bill the phone as 4G. Another call to tech support had them somehow,'reset the network connection' I can send and get texts...

    Galaxy A01 can't send texts but have internet

    I spent an hour with Metro customer service/tech support to no avail, trying to solve the 'no text' trouble. I can create texts but when I send them it tells me "we will send your message when the service is available" then it just sits there doing nothing. Yesterday I did a hard reset and...
