Using Three UK SIM and app in Android - "no SIM"
« on: September 19, 2018, 03:27:26 am »
I have a free SIM from Three in the UK, it gives me 200MB a month free, which is just enough for my Gemini as it's my secondary device.

Unfortunately the Three app you use to monitor the account doesn't work, says there's no SIM in the phone. This happens whether or not I disable the eSIM.

Is anyone else using Three and got their app to work?

Thanks

My other phone is a dual SIM LG v20, and the Three app does fine, so it's something wrong with the Gemini.

I recently got a PAYG Sim from Three, and I have the same issue with the Three app.

I updated to latest, and by chance I found if I turned ON the e-Sim, then the Three app stopped complaining about there being no SIM.

I can now click the "lets get started".. but after a while I get something like "something went wrong, try again, or come back later".
