RedPocket SIM card doesn't work
-
I found another IMEI check site that is specific to Xiaomi phones and it says
Purchase Country
PARAGUAY
Activation Country
GuatemalaI found a site that gives the APN for "agms" for use in the USA. agms.nl.gmm
This is getting deep and mysterious.
-
I can't find out much about "agms". There's a little bit of information on the web about AGMS Global, based in Singapore. A couple of sites give APN settings for AGMS Global.
Weird.

said in RedPocket SIM card doesn't work:
MI Activation Lock: OFF
Does this mean that the phone is OEM unlocked and I would not need to go through the process of waiting a week for it to be unlocked before I can install UT?
-
Another data point is that I have an old T-Mobile SIM for which the account is closed. I used to use it on my Pixel 3a. It doesn't connect, but it does fill in the T-Mobile APN correctly.
Does this mean that my N9P is NOT carrier locked? That it will work with T-Mobile if I get a new SIM card?
-
I got a Mint Mobile SIM card and it is working. I believe that it is over T-Mobile. T-Mobile APNs came in by default. It would not connect to AT&T using my AT&T SIM card (not an MVNO, but directly with AT&T).
-
Argh... voice and text work, data does not. This one is complicated. (Note, I'm still running Android on this. Haven't gotten to unlocking the boot.)
-
Yeah, this is really weird. It beeps, then works, then stops working, then switches to T-Mobile, but the APN is set to the Mint settings given in Mint's website.
-
With Mint Mobile, it doesn't really get data. Almost zero connectivity for data. MMS is unreliable. Voice and SMS okay.
My conclusion here is that this phone is not a good option for the USA. I'm going to return it.

@lsitongia Maybe @TotalSonic would give you a feedback. If I'm right, he does use a Redmi Note Pro in the USA without any issue. Even phone calls now work with VoLTE.

@lsitongia do you have correct android version?
what is my device?
adb shell getprop ro.product.name
should print like "joyeuse_global"adb shell getprop | grep incremental
should print[ro.system.build.version.incremental]: [832] [ro.build.version.incremental]: [832] [ro.odm.build.version.incremental]: [V12.0.2.0.QJZMIXM] [ro.vendor.build.version.incremental]: [V12.0.2.0.QJZMIXM]

@uxes Correct Android? I had whatever it came with. 10.something. I wasn't running UT. I was only starting the process. I couldn't get data, so I couldn't unlock the phone with Xiaomi. I wasn't close to installing UT yet.
