Does anyone have this for at&t? If so were you able to use the dumbphone MediaNet data plan for it? I am able to use this with the Galaxy SII i9100 and still get H+ download speeds. Wondering if At&t has the Galaxy Nexus' IMEIs in their sweeps. Any help would be appreciated.
It should work, since I have the option to select the $30 data/sms plan for non-smartphones. And that's with AT&T scanning my IMEI at the time of activation since I was coming over from Verizon.
Thanks for your input fr4c. Anyone specifically using the $10 or $15 MediaNet plan??
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has jumped on the new T-mobile Unlimited Value plan, and if your are able to tether using the built in tethering setting? I see that tethering is not a feature that is supported with this plan, and I was wondering if they were somehow able to see if you are tethering the data or not. My gut says no, but I just wanted to see if anyone has tried it out yet. Currently on their pre-paid $30 5GB of data plan, and it works just fine. Thanks!
if you have a rooted GN running CM or say AOKP you should be able to tether without problems from my understanding. I am not sure yet if it is stopped since i do not know anyone that has the data plan and uses a GN. The other thing is to get the data plan you would have move from your pre paid plan to a contract.

hey guys i got my GS3 about 3 months ago on ATT and im looking to get the NOTE 2 unlocked...i have my own plan on ATT and my family has a family plan on ATT but not using data/paying..im going to give my GS3 to them when i get the note 2..
do GS3 on ATT require data plans if i give it to them? i remember i gave my ATT iphone 3GS on my lil sis and i forgot that ATT will detect it and add a data plan..not sure if ATT will do the same if i give my GS3 to my family..
thanks
It most certainly will. The moment the SIM is registered on the network, AT&T, in their omniscience, will add the 30$ 3 gb / mo data plan...without consent. Their used to be a loophole with some old blackberries, but that has since been filled with gummy evils ported directly from the Death Star. Good luck.

oh bummer... thanks.. not sure if theres a way to unlock the GS3 ATT maybe that can solve data requirements
as for me going on a HSAP+ device will ATT mess with my data? i have unlimited data gradfather and i get 5GB till i get throttled..will ATT lower me to 3GB of data and throttle me when i hit 3GB? i normal use under 5GB of data a month but i did get throttle once on LTE to see how it was and it was not fun.. i remember there was a way to re set up from LTE to HSAP+ but im not sure if ATT will make me go to 3GB throttling with a unlocked device

Unlock will not solve problem. I try this on my phone.
About data you need to call and tell att you want to keep your data. Also if you have old sim card you need new one to phone receive data.( applay to iphone4/4gs sims too)
You don't necessarily need a new SIM, LTE capable SIM cards are backward compatible, but 3G Sims do not work in 4g LTE devices. As for your unlimited, he's right, you must call ATT and have them manually add it. While they cannot force migrate you, they will certainly claim an inability to readd it back on once they change it away. Don't let them fool you, they are more than capable to add it back on the account if they can ascertain the presence of the unlimited data plan prior to a device change. Just be diligent and you will get it back. DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO CONVINCE YOU TO MIGRATE! The moment you consent to the change, they will not, under any circumstances, put it back.

They will take the plan off if you use no data but whoever has the phone will have to contact att every month because att will just tack the plan back on

The only other way to do this is to take data off completely on that line. I have kids and we have unlimited text, so I called ATT and had them remove data completely from their lines. They had phones that did not require data. They cannot get pictures texted to them, otherwise they can call and text all they want and I dont have to worry about them killing me on data. I have swapped one kid to a SG1 I got from a friend and they did not do anything with data, if you say this is a minor and I want data off, its off. They use wifi if at home or school and they are fine. I do not think there is any other way you can get away with this.
Forgot to mention that my Lil sis is using a GS1 with no data plan I remember they went to att and got it to that set up and they got hooked up from the att manger... So if I give my gs3 to my sis they will still have to call and let att know that she's using a gs3 and keep the same plan she has with no data.. I believe her plan has 600mins/5000 nights weekend with unlimited text with mms /talk unlimited mobile to mobile..
As for me is just straight up put my 4G LTE att sim on my note 2 and put the lte apn settings and good to go?
Thanks guys :highfive:
Hi, i just bought a branded t-mobile note2. Previously i was using HTC Sensation (international version). With my plan, i have had T-zones for the longest time n was still able to use unlimited internet (withouth having to sign up for a data plan when smart phones started getting popular). Now that i've changed phones i have no internet connection with my note 2 . whenever i open a browser it brings me straight to tmobile page telling me that i have no data plan that supports this phone.. ive done research about this issue n tzone etc... according to my research tmobile branded phones dont give u internet with t-zones cuz it has something to do with tmobile blocking it, which forces people to sign up for a data plan. i read somewhere that i only can get unlimited internet like how i did with my sensation with tzones with a UNBRANDED tmobile phone. so is there anyway i can unbrand my note2??? please help!! thanks in advance. your help is greatly appreciated.
Has anyone been able to use a T-Mobile phone SIM in a T807T for calls and Truly Unlimited data? I have an extra line I'm not using, didn't work in my P607T Note 10.1 2014 Edition. Now I'm thinking about getting a CPO Tab S directly through T-Mobile, because 9 months after purchasing my "refurbished" P607T from an online store, it's just been blacklisted and I can't use my 5GB data SIM with it anymore. Due to how T-Mobile's system is designed there is absolutely no way to unblock it without the original owner's info to pay off its balance. So, has anyone successfully used a phone SIM on their T-Mobile Tab S? I don't even need the calling (although it would be cool), I really just want the Truly Unlimited data.
I thought all lte models allowed data regardless of sim, otherwise what would be the point of the sim?
Maybe I'm reading this wrong? :what:
Apparently not. My current tablet is LTE and phone SIM data didn't work with it, just the SIM from my 5GB data line. Yet the data SIM worked in a phone when I first got it. I was confused about it too. I was hoping this tablet might be different.
I was wondering the same thing. Would flashing a custom rom work?
