I would need to see a screenshot of the following to diagnose the problem. Go to settings, about phone, software, make sure in the screenshot Service Provider software is included.

Also include the Model Name that is on the main page of about phone. Is it just a "U" or a "U1" U is a carrier device and U1 is Samsung factory unlocked.

You probably purchased your phone from a 3rd party seller this happens all to frequently.1763231496965.jpg

You have not answered his question. You can also go to this site and check your IMEI to see if it is blacklisted

The seller did not list it as an international model that is only GSM. It will not work on carriers that are CDMA, Verizon, AT&T or any of their budget carriers.

Return the phone right aways, it is not a US model. It is for Panama.
