Yes you can. I used to have simple mobile and used a t mobile locked phone.
Cost of a new s3 on the street ? Hmm 16 gb probably around 450-500$ ?

I'm considering a locked t-mo for $535
Do you know what it would take to carrier unlock so I could root?

I think you can find it for cheaper than that if you put more search effort in.
You don't need to gave it GSM unlocked to root.. u can root it either way.

Has anybody been able to get their T-Mobile S3 working on SIMPLE MOBILE's network (3g/4g)? I've rooted my phone, and I can't access it (I can't even delete the T-Mobile APN Setting).
Let me know, I would greatly appreciate the help, and I'm sure other users would benefit from this information also. Thanks.
You need to setup a new apn. Go to simple mobiles web site they have instructions to get you up and running.

questions about S3
hi guys
I am a newbie here and I am loving S3 so far and I would like to get simple mobile service with it.
I have a few questions hope you guys can please help me out:
1. on simple mobile web, they sell S3 but says it's not approval and not support 3G, but I saw someone replied it would work 3g/4g with simple mobile service, can you please let me know so i should get $50/month plan instead of $40/month plan or either way is fine?
2, do I have to get a unlocked S3 in order to work with simple mobile service? or I can just buy it from costco or ebay and just insert a simcard i bought from ebay with simple mobile as well? or it has to be unlocked S3 & special sim card?
hope you guys can help me with these, thank you so much

It will work with 3g or 4g. If u get the 40 dollar plan you will get thr 3g speed. If u get the 40 dollar plan u will get the 4g speed. Everything is listed in black and white on simple site. Any tmobile phone will work with simple mobile without unlocking. Simple Mobile is mvno of Tmobile.

I was wondering if there was a way to get free personal hotspot service. I wss planning on paying for it (14.99/month) but I cant add it to my account it conflicts with the features in my plan... Is there anyway I can do this, without using pdanet or any other apps like that? Also I don't mind rooting my device. Thanks in advance!

You cant have Unlimited 4G Data and HotSpot. You have to choose if you want a "capped" plan + HotSpot or Unlimited 4G Data. T-Mobile is here to make money, just like any other company, and from that perspective it simply wouldn't make sense to let customers tether and eat up as much data as they want while still keeping the second cheapest data plan.

Actually with the unlimited plan they do not offer hotspot service, I had the same issue when I joined tmobile so I rooted my phone and cm10 or 10.1 all you have to do is turn it on and you are ready to go
If you don't want to root you phone there is a app called open garden that allows you to share you internet connection to any other device using Bluetooth (as long as the device has 4.0 or newer OS), I haven't played with it to much but consumes less batter and also allows you to share with a desktop / laptop PC
Give it a shot

I'm on the DARTHSTALKER S4 rom and i love it. Tethering works perfectly fine but when i use the mobile hotspot. I check my T Mobile account and it shows that I've been using the hotspot. Once I got to 400 MB T Mobile sent me a message to upgrade if i wanted to tether. Is there any way I can tether without being caught?

That means that you don't have a tethering plan. If you can tether w/o the tethering plan then you should be fine.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
i think alot of the plans come with Tethering (but limited to the amount of data you get before throttling). Only one of the new plans (unlimited data) didnt have tethering built in in my recollection.
in addition to the already mentioned. i read in other threads that you need to use the toggle from the pulldown menu to activate hotspot, otherwise you get the upgrade screen. personally ive always only used the toggle from the pulldown to activate my tether and never received the upgrade screen.

If you are on the unlimited plan, or any plan that does NOT have tethering included, you will be noticed. You have a grace data allotment of i believe 200MB then you are shut off. There are ways around it and Google will tell you those ways
Why is everyone so concerned....
Theres a well known root tether setup for all galaxys called "trevemod tether" with a tutorial in the general sectio for many phones also requires using hot spot shield vpn app .So tether plan or not , you can get away with tethering the data u pay for to any device...
It hides and blocks what u tether to, thus making tmo think your just using a whole lot of extra bandwidth on your device
ROOT is required.

Maybe it is just me, but does anyone else get irritated by people that want to steal bandwidth? Someone has to pay. Maybe people should pay for the features they desire.

Absolutely... I'll make a reasonable effort to be reasonable... I called them and asked to pay for tethering to go with my unlimited data plan... so I can watch some netflix on my phone when I'm away on business. I figured an extra $30 would be fair. They don't offer anything like that... although... they charge $10/MB for roaming data in Canada, so... I won't die of guilt.
Besides, as I'm fond of saying... we can't all beat the system heh heh! :laugh::laugh::laugh: You're right... someone has to pay. Someone not smart enough to figure out how to get a discount. peace bro.
uhhh we already pay for the data service and the hardware and the os which has it built in. there's nothing to feel bad about. I've used 70gb data in a month with sprint and they didn't complain
Yes, you read it right!
I stopped by a T-mo store today to look for a case for my wife's phone
and I know very well the sales person.
He told me that T-mo replaced the free 500 MB tether (on Unlimited data plan),
with free 2.5 GB without any additional fees !!!!
He changed that option on the spot for me.
You can do that yourself on T-mo website, or just walk in the store like I did.
Enjoy!:good:
Is this everywhere? I'm currently on 500mb data plan that slows down afterwards. Would I be eligible?

This is very nice of tmobile. Now I have 2.5gb of tethering rather than 500mb on my truly unlimited plans at no extra cost.

Sent From My Jedi Note 2.
this has been out for a while now T-Mobile changed this back in like the beginning of the summer I think. Its for anyone on unlimited data they are being nice and giving us 2.5 mb to tether. Use it or not T-Mobile is looking out enjoy everyone...
Edit: fyi there are also non rooted methods of tethering whether or not you have unlimited data.
If u have the hotspot on your account the ps3 will be able to pick up the tether and use the data.. Just not when u don't have the hotspot on ur account and ur doing a hacked tether to use ur unlimited data it won't work.. I'm connected to the ps3 network now.. 2.5 should be enough for multi-player... I hope

I actually found out by logging in to my . tmobile . com and saw it was part of my plan. I was surprised that they are that generous. I never even used up the 500mb they used to give for free so 2.5 GB is really great I can tether all the time now.

So just to be clear, there's no wifi tether with the stock kernel? I'm trying to avoid tripping the counter for the time being.
Worked great. Thanks OP.

well well, dummy me was about to do "de la vega" and just ended up following "qbking77" video to the T and tripped knox. Anyway, since that ship has sailed and there's nothing that could be done about it for now, what exactly does the tether app needs in order to work? I've been using TrevE Mod WiFi Tether for the longest on my GS3 stock rom/rooted. What's the difference with the Note 3?
So does installing this app work perfectly on a t-mobile note 3 on an AT&T network without AT&T catching you tethering without paying?
