I recently found an old Blu Win jr phone running windows 8.1 (8.10.14203.306) and I was wondering if there is any way to developer unlock it. I tried installing wp internals to put it in manual mode but the phone is not being recognized in wp internals at all. Is wp internals only for nokia Lumia devices? Is there any other way to jailbreak/developer unlock this phone or is it just useless now?

TL;DR: If you want to activate service for VoLTE calls (VoLTE is required on AT&T) on an AT&T-Branded Microsoft Lumia 950 on an AT&T MVNO, make sure the Mobile Network Code (MNC) of the sim card is 410. The MNC can be found near the beginning of the sim card ICCID; it will look like this: 8901410. Good2GO Mobile provided this sim card to me when I asked for an AT&T sim after ordering.

Also a mini rant on Red Pocket support. They used to be good, but I guess they cut down on support staff in recent years or haven't scaled to their user base.

I had been using my AT&T-branded Microsoft Lumia 950 for several years with Red Pocket GSMA (AT&T network). Other than support registering my IMEI to allow my phone to register with IMS services and allow for Voice over LTE (VoLTE) calling (which is now a requirement to make and receive calls on AT&T's network due to the 3G shutdown), I had no issues, until recently.

For some days, I noticed my phone would not be able to make any calls, instantly stating call dropped as I placed a call. I noticed that IMS status: unregistered would be present by the HD Voice toggle. Rebooting the phone fixed this and it would be reregistered. But on a Saturday afternoon, a reboot would not fix this. I could still send SMS, MMS, and use data, but I was no longer able to make or receive calls.

Seeing this persist over the entire weekend, I started chatting with Red Pocket support. The chat widget was getting laggy as it didn't clear my previous chat with them and the responses were very slow, a few minutes per message. The agent kept asking questions she asked before and I had provided multiple times; she likely was handling several other chats at the same time. I even tried using the sim card in an old unused iPhone 6s, which also couldn’t make or receive a call. After refusing to factory reset my Lumia 950 (factory resetting the iPhone made no difference), she made an escalation ticket, asking for all of the info again. The chat finally concluded after what was about 3-4 hours total.

After that, it was one email per day with the escalation team, which kept claiming it was due to tower issues. They sent a new sim card as part of troubleshooting, and this is where I discovered a new issue: The Lumia 950 (and perhaps other Windows 10 mobile devices) use the Mobile Network Code (MNC) of the sim, or at least some portion of it, to determine what type of sim card it is. The MNC can be found as part of the ICCID number on your sim card. The old sim card I had used MNC 410, while the new card I received used 280, which online search results state this is a relatively new MNC from AT&T. However, my Lumia 950 assumed this was a T-mobile sim card and only offered T-mobile connection profiles. This caused my phone to disable and hide the VoLTE toggle and IMS status.

Regardless, I was still unable to use the new sim card for calls in neither my Lumia 950 nor iPhone, same as before. After more back and forths, Iwas already starting to look to port out. While searching and trying other providers, they had somehow fixed the IMS registration issue on their end, which I knew was the issue the entire time. It had been over 1 1/2 weeks at this point. Thus, the iPhone was now able to make and receive calls with the sim. But now my Lumia 950 can't since it doesn’t think the sim is an at&t sim and won't provide VoLTE.

Support claimed they did not have any sim cards with MNC 410. I eventually tried and received a sim card with MNC 410 from Good2GO Mobile. I ported over, and my Lumia 950 now works for calls once again after two weeks.

Other providers I tried was US Mobile (Confirmed that tmobile volte does not work with my Lumia 950, unless I want to rely on 2G networks - which means phone has to switch to 2G if on LTE and oftentimes will miss calls since it doesn’t always switch; not to mention tmobile is gradually shutting down 2G…), AT&T prepaid (does work, they sent a sim with MNC 410) and Boost Mobile (which sent a tmobile card, and didn’t even connect to 2G networks).

I'm Filipino, and have always loved Windows Phone ever since I got a white Lumia 720 from my aunt as a gift but sadly lost it at a mall in 2019.

I did always find that a lot of Filipinos don't know about Windows Phone probably because it was really rare here. There was a line of Windows Phones Cherry Mobile (a Filipino Tech Brand) released and it was iirc the Alpha Series.

Big question though, are there any Filipino WP fans here? Just say 👋!

After using the Huawei P30 Lite as my daily driver, I finally got my Samsung Galaxy A03 fixed and now this is what's rockin' the homescreen!

But it does this fucking error

So, every now and then I bring it (Lumia 930, Win 10) out from the dead to fiddle. Today I opened the windows store and downloaded a couple YouTube knock off apps that do actually work flawlessly (I can download as well as view videos). Found couple of apps stopped working as usual in the app list. I was wondering what stuff still works, in the store or by side loading. I also wonder do I list what I have working or should I stay quiet!

Hello, i am new to windows phones and i recently picked a nokia lumia. It runs on Windows Phone 7.5 but i want to update it to 7.8. Zune software is giving errors and phone says no updates availible, can anyone help?

I had a windows phone and I used to like it. I want to get one but I want to ask if I can still download apps from the store , connect to internet and all of these…

Today I placed an order for a Lumia 950 XL and it will arrive by Sunday. I am SUPER excited to use the phone as my main and everything is gonna be SO good. I even prepared in advance by downgrading to Windows 10 and using things like Groove Music and Windows 10 Mail and People so the phone OS and my laptop can sync everything and be an integrated and seamless experience. I acknowledge that the OS won't be supported or be how it used to be, but seeing the app repository in https://wp-store.neocities.org/ I can see all the apps I already use are there (either patched, official, or 3rd party clients) except WhatsApp though my friend already made a patch (which works!) and will release it on github when the autopatcher is finished. Overall, I am very ecstatic for the phone to arrive, I know I am going to love it. (My iPhone 15 will become my secondary phone if all things good) :D

Help i Upgraded my main pc to w11 latley and most of WP tools stopped working such as :
thor2, All deployer tools, Zune, WDRT,

They all got the same issue , They wont detect my windows phones , i tried : Lumia 800, 620, 640LTE, 650
And they wont be detected , zune wont also detect my lumia 800 , for now im using vm for tools but i would like to know solution , and yes i tried to reinstall drivers , sadly didnt work

I can find an article saying it still works from 2021, but nothing more recent. Contemplating getting my Lumia 930 out of storage, but not worth digging around to find it if maps doesn't work.

Thanks!

Would it be possible with emulation images or sm ? It would make surface RT way less useless and yeah , like we can run win 8 RT on a Lumia , so why not the other way around ?

This layout is still superior- so ahead of its time!

a new wp server idk but check it out https://discord.com/invite/TC7aYpY4

Hello everyone i'm looking for Official rom for samsung omnia 7 (windows phone 7, 7.5, 7.8) Is there a way to found them or download them ? Sammobile don't got it..

Me and a friend made a Discord server for the community, for the 3rd party homebrew developers, and all Windows Phone lovers. https://discord.com/invite/bjQBrcCjCC
This is also the place where you can follow development on the site https://wp-store.neocities.org/ which is getting updates as frequently as I can do. I absolutely adore Windows Phone. The community is also so peaceful and doesn't have to worry about arguing what phone OS is better lol. I feel this community deserves more and I want to deliver. Another friend of mine will attempt making a modern chromium-based web browser for Windows Phone (and also will try getting it to work with Continuum if possible, he has to research first) and if that is successful, he will try making a better way to use WhatsApp on Windows Phone. New things are to come to this beautiful community. #We<3WP

I cannot wait to see everyone there. Have an awesome day WP users. https://discord.com/invite/bjQBrcCjCC
