I got a few phones working!

Susan X8 (Fake Galaxy S8, claims to have 4G but it's really just 2G) works fine.

N3310 Aliexpress Clone likely would work as it worked in my recent video where I used a Mint Trial SIM, but the battery expanded between then and now so couldn't test. (I could warranty it but SpeedX would make that take about a month)

Verizon Galaxy S3 (i535) works fine but APN settings wouldn't save? Calling and texting work though. It's a shame this version has a permalocked bootloader, as the APN likely won't save due to Verizon software. The ones that don't have locked bootloaders probably get kicked and the Sprint version doesn't even have a SIM slot.

Tried a downgraded iPhone 4 on 6.0, didn't work likely as it has the 7.1.2 baseband. iPhone 4s running 6.1.3 stock finds the network but nothing changes in the status bar, likely instantly kicked.

The other phones I had success in with my Mint Trial SIM video would probably work including the G'Zone Ravine 2. I am yet to test the DROID2 Global. Has anyone tried it?

Finally got my GSMT SIM yesterday with 240. I put it in my I535 and USCC variant S2 and it didn't connect, so do I need to change something in my account? I checked the map and it says there is still 2G in my area. Or do I need to give it time to connect?

My 3310 clone from Aliexpress's battery expanded but I have a fake Galaxy S8 that supports 2G so I could test it in there too. It worked on Mint when I tried it. I don't remember it getting disconnected unlike my 5s which was instantly removed.

I accidentally ordered a GSMA SIM not knowing that AT&T isn't the greatest in my neighborhood and I remember T-Mobile being a lot faster. How can I switch to a GSMT network and still have a physical SIM? The network switch section of the app only gives me the option to use eSIM.
