Question Unlocked phone won't connect to network

[lordvolvo]

Can I use the unlocked version of the Samsung Galaxy S7 (model # SM-G930U) with my Verizon service? I currently have the Verizon version of the S7 (model # SM-G930V) but its SIM card doesn't work in the unlocked S7. It sees the Verizon network but won't connect, even after changing the network settings (global, LTE, CDMA, etc).

Will another SIM card from Verizon work with the unlocked SM-G930?

Thx.

You should call the carrier as they may need to manually push settings and/or register your phone's IMEI (most times this should be automatic, but when it comes to unlocked devices, especially this old, things may have to be set up manually on their end).

It sounds like something about the G930U makes it problematic on Verizon's network. Some people have had success with flashing the G930V firmware using Odin: https://xdaforums.com/t/unlocked-g930u-on-verizon.3419567/

I switched phones this weekend with a physical SIM on Verizon and I had to confirm on the Verizon app the change of the phone for the phone number line before it was active.. All my phones are unlocked on the Verizon network
