Flippy you tried it? Because i heard from a store that it doesnt work on ATT...
I just got the fig flip and it doesn't work with my Total Wireless(which is a Verizon MVNO) sim card, I also tried it with a Selectel sim and it didn't work, it only worked with a US Mobile sim

csp So which carrier does the phone work properly with?

csp T-Mobile or Verizon Based? I'm curious because T-Mobile based doesn't check IMEI, but Verizon based does?
chaimzalman I tried with Ultra and Tello both T-Mobile MVNO's and they worked fine

csp Yeah T-Mobile doesn't check IMEI, which is why I'm curious whether you tried US Mobile Verizon or T-Mobile based.
Verizon based = black sim kit
T-Mobile based= white sim kit
When you use the T-Mobile based one, they don't ask for IMEI (Just like T-Mobile), but the Verizon one does (Does anyone know whether or not Verizon checks IMEI? I know my friend is able to just move his sim between phones with no repercussions). Metro, which is T-Mobile, does check SIM, and only recently stopped charging $15 to move your SIM card.
Maybe it has nothing to do with the tower it's based on, just what the carrier decides?
Someone I know tried it on a verizon MVNO and his SIM card got frozen.
These guys have to get their act together.
