comment
" ...  I bought this product on january 1 2017, it was great till now and all of a sudden it stopped detecting my at&t sim card. ... They looked my account and then tried changing the sim, nothing worked then they tried the sim in another company phone and the sim is working fine.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I read a bunch of work arounds about having them activate a SIM in a different phone first and then put it in the Moto, but honestly that is more effort than I want to go through to activate a $99 phone. ... If you already have a Micro SIM on Verizon and you are just going to swap it in to this device it would probably work fine, but since I was going from a Nano SIM to a Micro they needed to give me a new one and that is where I ran into trouble. ... Also to note, the first thing I tried was to use one of those Nano->Micro SIM adapters. ... I got the phone to recognize the SIM, but Verizon wasn't able to get it to activate. ... Again in this case the SIM was not already activated on a different phone, so it probably was the same issue I ran into in the store.  ...  "
