[Q]SGS2 4G on simple mobile?

What's up everyone. I might be picking up a used sgs2 4g. I'm currently not under contract with T-Mobile, and was wondering if this phone could be used under simple mobile. I'm kind of enjoying the no contact prices, but not the no contact devices. If it would work under simple, would 3g/4g work? That's all I really care about. Thanks!

From what I've heard T-Mobile's 3g and 4g should work on Simple Mobile because T-Mobile and Simple Mobile shares the same radio bands.

Simple mobile rents out Tmobiles network, any Tmobile device will fully work on simple mobile without an unlock. My source is Tmobile, my employer.

Yes, T-Mobile's 3G/4G works on Simple Mobile but you will have to change the APN's to get it to work. Their data is limited to 2GB's tho. After that they throttle you to a snail's pace! It's the only that sucks about Simple Mobile.

Has anyone used the sgs2 on simple mobile? How is the service?

Phone rocks!
Love your work!

I have used simple mobile for over five months and have gone over 2gb each month and only got throttled once. The data is unlimited, they only throttle if u use a lot of bandwidth.

Thanks for the reply. Did you buy the T989 from a t-mobil corporate store and then just use a simple sim & apn settings? This is what I am thinking of doing.

I got it for 10 hours then i returned it, screen and camera was better with optimus v, so i bought SG2 and will never never go back. Monthly4g $30 plan is good if you don't use more than 100 minutes a month.

[Guide] Sprint/Verizon Galaxy SIII Flash to Page Plus Cellular Tutorial [Video]

I No longer support this thread due to the lack of time I have lately. This video will show you how to get up and running on P+ with 1x data only.
This wil work for the Sprint, Verizon and US Cellular variant.
Yes I can get 3G but, the method is not allowed on this forum.
Please don't PM me asking how to get 3G as I will not reply.
Hit thanks if you watched this video please

Wow awesome Nevell. Thanks so much for this.
A few questions.
How different would it be to flash Straight Talk?
After flashing can I load ROMS like CyanogenMod and such without issue?

On the Sprint one yes but not on the VZW one. As far as flashing to ST you would need a donor phone. I won't go into details but that should be a start for you.

OP updated with new Verizon GS3 fully flashed with 3G youtube video demo.

I have been trying to flash verizon gs3 to sprint, and have talk and text but no data, I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have tried everything. Thanks for your videos and help is appreciated

Why not just trade your VZW GS3 for a Sprint GS3 on your local Craigslist?

I do have the sprint one, but I wanted the GSM capabilities of the Verizon one cause I travel over seas.

[Q] Simple Mobile Support?

Hey you guys, I've been using the 40$ Plan for SimpleMobile and will be soon buying a Galaxy S3. I will unlock it and use it for SimpleMobile. I was wondering if it supported and how the connection is. I know the connection and internet speeds can vary depending where you are, so I am in Boston Massachusetts. If anyone could help that would be nice, thank you very much!

Thanks for the answer. Anyone else have anything that may help me?

I have my daughter on simple mobile and its fine. The only thing you have to do is change the apn but there is actually an app on the market the changes it for you. The other thing is you may have to cut a sim card down to size because I was told micros weren't available but that was a few months ago so that might've changed.

I've had simple mobile before and had no problems what's so ever. I'm actually thinking about going back to them after my t mobile contract expires in February.
The only reason I went to t mobile is because at the time they were offering the HTC hd7 for free with a new account.. Lol btw that phone sucked.
Now they do sell the micro sim cards. You can get one off their website for like 12$ or on eBay for about 2$.
So no manual cutting needed. If it's a t mobile phone no need to unlock it for simple mobile. And another thing you have to adjust is the apn. But that is described step by step on the simple mobile website.

Well I know much about phones but not too much when it comes to speeds. Since you get 14mbps in Texas (I think that's what you meant by Tx) then how fast is it?

Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

Hey guys should I be careful buying a used tmobile phone? How can I be Shure the is good to use? Not stolen or in the blacklist or what about if I buy the phone and then the seller report it stollen. Will tmobile disconnect my phone even if it is on simple mobile? Is there a safe way to do the transaction. Lots of questions. Thanks

well, it is not safe, if the phone report stolen or blocked it by tmobile, you can't use it with simple mobile. and there is no way to know if the phone ok or not, it will works for a couple of days/weeks/months but once tmobile block it. you will be sorry. anyway I bought mine from amazon, I talked to them first about people selling phones on amazon and then the phone gets blocked. they put a note in my account that if the phone got blocked I can return it back for a full refund no matter how long. and btw mine is used.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

T-mobile phones are the worst to buy used because it can be blocked for 2 reasons, unpaid EIP and phone reported stolen. I almost got burned but luckily I was able to tracked down the previous owner. The phone worked for weeks before it was blocked. Scarry.

This is currently my experience.
I own an AT&T Galaxy Note 2 that I just got yesterday. I got it unlocked, and right there I'l put Simple Mobile on it and it worked just great with the only exception that I get only 2G on it and I'm on an area where most T-mobile users get 4G.
So got somewhat disappointing but didn't give up. From there I rooted it and I flashed a T-mobile SGH-T889 ROM on it and it ROM itself works, but with Simple Mobile I still get only 2G.
From here, I'm thinking the only thing I'm missing is the Radio (or Modem if you wanna call it that way) for a T-Mobile phone since I'm suspecting I'm still using an AT&T radio.
I haven't done enough research to see if I'm right on my theory. So as soon as I get back to the kitchen I'll flash a T-Mobile Radio and see if that works.

ahh cool.. i heard that simple mobile outin that region was very bad. but i had a very bad experience with tmo where i'm at where tmo is supposed to be coverage king.. i was riding in a car along the river and went on the web.. it was slow as sh'it. then my call dropped.. i cant understand why this happened when i go to the west side of my city when again tmo is hailed as the best carrier to have here..

I've used tmobile for a few years now and I wouldn't switch to simple mobile.
