SIM Card not recognized . . . - finphone - 07-21-2020
Hello everyone, just received my pine phone but it's not recognizing my SIM card. I'm in the USA, would anyone happen to know if the phone works with MetroPCS SIM cards? I assumed they did since metro is now t-mobile. Thanks in advance!

I've used mine on Metro and T-mobile. They both work, being the same backend. Only complaint being you have to call metro to swap your sim, t-mobile you don't of course.

Was originally concerned because the phone had indicated that "no SIM card was installed". So, thought there may have been a hardware conflict. I'll shoot metro a call then, thanks again!
