Fig Master Thread

Does the Fig mini have a whitelist option for texting?
How does that work for group text?
Will the whitelist persist the factory reset?

my friend bought a fig phone off someone, basically unused he tried to put his sim card but can’t get service. the phone worked for the prev owner but was idle for almost a yr. he updated to the newest update. the phone recognizes the sim and even the phone number but just shows 0 bars. his sim confirms works in other phones. he tried other people’s sims in the phone and none of them worked.

anyone know what the issue could be?

Did you try to manually or automatically search for networks? What about a factory reset? Does Wi-Fi and Bluetooth work?

What service is he on?

both. i can try manually again, i only tested 1 of the things

didn’t help

havent tested.

koshercell service (t-mobile), but he tried other ppls sims and it made no diff

The antenna is likely broken

anything to do abt it, or its trash?

Maybe the FIG store can fix it, but I don’t know

Mabye the phone is locked (the sim is locked) see what service the owner used try to put the same one in

are some fig phones carrier locked? is this something you’ve seen before

If you buy it straight from fig then it’s unlocked but sometimes 3rd party people will lock it.

interesting theory. i’ll see if i can find out where it was originally purchased.

It would’ve showed you a unlock menu on screen if it was carrier locked

Also I’m pretty sure carrier locked FIG phones don’t exist right now

I know my friend recently was playing around with his fig and accidentally locked his service to verzion and he needed to call verzion for the code etc.

Even if you originally purchase it from them someone can now put it on
