Question

Mobiper W8 Android Smartphone

May 8, 2015 7:24AM PDT

I have Straight Talk and I bought this from Amazon.com because its an unlocked phone and it is AT&T. I put the SIM Card in it and registered it with Straight Talk and it said no SIM Card detected. Straight Talk sent me a new SIM Card and I registered it with them too and it still says no SIM Card detected. What happens if there is no SIM Card detected? Does the phone stop working at some point? I have to shut the phone off pretty much daily because I am not getting my text or calls. They come through once the phone comes back on. Any ideas on what I need to do?

I would like to keep the phone if I can get some answers on what I can do to resolve this.

Exchange it for another.

I have yet to find a review that didn't read as if it was planted or fake. You've got a dud and the sooner you figure that out, the sooner you can let go of what's dragging you down.
