Just picked up this phone and got it unlocked. I tried searching but couldn't find much on the topic. Can anyone confirm if you can get data on the $50 gophone plan or does AT&T have these phones flagged?

I'm confused. Unless I am mistaken, AT&T doesn't offer the GNex at all. Unless what you are saying is you are trying to use a GNex on AT&T...in which case you are in the wrong forum entirely. Actually, either way you are in the wrong forum. Maybe because of the mobile app.
No I'm on my gnex on Verizon but I bought a t mobile sII and am asking about that.

You'd be better off getting a simple mobile sim changing the apn and you can get the 4g plan and get 4g speeds.

all you gotta do is flash a skyrocket i727 radio .. redpocket would make a better choice than gophone though , as I don't think it works with smartphones at all
Thanks for the replies I'll try those radios. Funny thing is data words perfect in my unlocked Droid pro but pop it in the sII with the same apn and nothing will load.

iIm using the plan now and the only way to use data is to purchase their data which is like $25 for 1GB along with the $50 a month for unlimited text and minutes. also with my experience i cant download anything from the play store thats over 7MB.
for me changing radios makes no difference
seems like ATT flagged a lot of android phones on howardforums they have a list of phones that do work on it. not much mention on the t989 from what i had found.
Questions go in the Q&A section

Seems like you're right as I picked up the plan and the data works on my unlocked Droid Pro but not the SII. Thanks for your response and I hope this post is useful to people in the future!
It was working before, I don't know about now though
Ok guys heres the deal. Am currently on tmobile contract plan, planning on canceling it soon. Want to go with at&t prepaid data plan. What do i need and what do i need to do to make my tmo gs3 to work with att 3g/4g network? Data and mms along with txt and all. Im pretty sure its more than just cut the sim and slip it in. Or is it? Im a complete noob so be gentle lol. Thanks in advance.

It actually is pretty simple, but you have to have TMobile give you the unlock codes to your phone. Basically once you have the ATT Sim, insert it and your phone should prompt you to enter a carrier unlock code. This is where you enter said code once obtained from TMobile.

Awesome. Thanks! So do i just ask for the code or lie my way around and get it? Also, any setting i need to adjust to recieve data and mms? Ive read some have had issues not sure if this applies with the tmo code tho
Bump..

You may need to set your APNs if you make the switch and lose data/signal. Just Google ATT APN settings and it will explain what you need to set. (Prepaid plans might have different APNs so make sure you find the right one for your plan)
As far as obtaining the unlock codes from TMobile, you could try saying your leaving the country on extended vacation, that may help, but if your still in contract and they refuse you there's nothing you can do.. other than call back and get a different rep.

Thanks man^^
I spoke with a tmobile rep and they are going to email me the unlock codes within "72hrs" ill be waiting. So after that is done i will proceed with the rest of the process with an att sim.
Yes i will Google the apns once i get the rest sorted out. Looks like its not that hard after all. The most hassle is going to be getting a sim activated since theres no store near me gonna have to order one online

You can always go with StraightTalk. Their plans are cheaper than att prepay and have semi unlimited data.(something att prepay doesnt). And they have tmobile compatible SIM cards. Which doesn't required unlocking. If you receive better service from att then get the att compatible SIM. Will require unlocking for that though

Failed to mention something that I just remembered about TMobile s3s....
LTE will not work. You will only get 3G/H+...
I do not own a TMobile device, this is just from research I've done. I don't know if there is a work around.

Ive heard about that aswell, going to look into that. I need att service. Tmobile doesnt work where i work. At&t does. So, simple mobile for at&t get same reception as an regular at&t service?

Yes sir, i read that too, not really too worried about it, 3g speed is enough for what i need it for, plus 90% of the time i have wifi available.

Actually you might wanna check because although T-Mobile is reframing their MHz but only certain areas so far
So sad to inform you that you would most likely to get edge instead

I'd go with Straight Talk also. I just switched my girlfriend over to it because she was paying over $100 per month for a decent service. She doesn't get LTE (but her phone doesnt support it anyway) but for $45 unlimited data, text, calls, its worth it. And it's on the AT&T network.
Well i already had ordered the prepaid micro sim card for at&t. That's what im waiting on right now, after that i will go to the next step.

Got an email with the code today. Now am waiting for the micro sim. Should recieve it on Tuesday

Shoot... Im thinking of just going into walmart and getting the straightalk for at&t micro sim.. $45 for unlimited everthing compared to $65 @ att. Even if its throttled which i assume both are @ 2gb a month
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi
Well i ordered the at&t straightalk starter kit aswell. Will try that one first since it comes with airtime already included. They are wiping out att straightalk sims. Ordered mine while supplies lasts lol.

And how is it working out for you? Thinking about paying the etf and transferring 3 lines....would still be cheaper in 9 months..... now that they are able to use at&t frequencies, was wondering how the service was....specifically data speeds! Thanks much!

Almost same idea. I imagine tons of people are using it with ATT as well. Its a popular device. The speeds...should be good with ATT having LTE turned ON in Los Angeles. We have to wait few more months for TMO to do so. Hope this helps.
Anyone using this combo, or another Q-Pair w/non LG phone, does the internet sharing work?

I used it and it told me the option wasn't available for my phone. I figured it wasn't though since AT&T wants you to pay extra for tethering.

Interesting, I wonder if it will still say that for share plan users.
It should since tethering happens on the phone level. You'd have to do something to your phone to work around Qpair(probably on the phone) for it to work.
I have the Galaxy Note III on T-Mobile, but it's AT&T branded. Are there any workarounds to get mobile hotspotting through my carrier without rooting?
No I had 1 and sold it due to that issue . I rooted and tryed disabling teathering provision but never worked

Thank you for your feedback. I am doing the same thing as well. Nice phone, but AT&T was not very good for me after I switched from T-Mobile and the Note II. I am on T-Mobile now, so it's slightly better, but everything but Verizon sucks in my area, but Verizon charges too much. They need a prepaid $60 plan w/ 4G LTE and I will go with them (at the expensive of having a CDMA phone without flexibility to just pop different companies' sim cards.)
Np I use a tmobile note 3 paying around 140 for 2 phones and unld lte. Best service so far. Next to vzw.
