Hi
i have just purchased one of these bad boys in the 4g flavour but my carrier is 3 mobile so data is blocked as my sim is a phone sim and not a data sim
so anyone in UK can you please tell me what network you are on where you get full data calls and text
Much appreciated
Thanks
Lee
Hi Lee. Isn't it just a regular sim? Is it on contract or payg?

I am on three mobile one plan.....I am looking for a payg sim that I can put in my note 8 amd get calls text and data.....I can get calls and text but data is too important to forego

You can put in the phone Sim card with no problems. If you need to manually enter the apn, it's three.co.uk.
Sent from my GT-I9505G using Tapatalk
APN is already set to three.co.uk
I also have a letter H+ with data arrows flashing up and down
Not a huge response to my query, all I am asking is anyone using a note 8.0 as a phone.
I can go with watever network allows phone sim to work in a tablet but it will cost me a top up to find out who will work
Thanks for your help

If it's unlocked, then all sim cards should work. I've used it with a 3 sim and also a virgin mobile sim.

Are both boxes for data checked? Have you rebooted? Did you flash a kernel?

I have no idea. But a guess would be due to the fact the iPhone SIM is not an LTE SIM. AKA, not compatible with your phone.
Yes need a new sim card. If not in LTE area you can use the HSDPA APN and get 3g speeds.
Sim won't matter, if your coming from an iPhone and didn't change your plan changes are if you look on your s3 its trying to use PTA but you aren't setup for it yet. If you change it to WAP or PHONE it should work or call att change your plan then PTA will work

The answer to this question is simple...and you could have easily searched to find the answer....iphone needs iphone data plan gs3 needs lte data plan...the mini sim is standard...there isnt a special iphone sim etc....next time try searching.....

Call at&t and tell them to switch you to a lte plan. Done.

Ah, makes sense. I thought it would at least get 3G service but i guess not. No worries. Ill call them today.
You should be getting at least 3g. Check your apn settings.

How about even simpler .. if phones are locked.. ATT locks phones to sim card and it won't work with a different one unless you unlock it.

You DO need a new sim card. This happened to my friend a few days ago.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
IPhone and androids use a different data plan. You need to get switched to an android data plan.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
If your sim is blue and white, you need a new one. If it's orange, your fine. Just call and have them switch you from the I phone data to the lte data plan.

I can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. In order to get LTE am I required to have a LTE sim card? Or the proper APN should work?
Fido doesnt have micro sim lte cards. Only standard size which means I need to cut to fit. Furthermore, I get no where calling them. They can't answer one question I have.
Thanks !

You do need an lte sim card.
Fido have micro/nano LTE sim card. http://www.fido.ca/web/page/portal/Fido/SmartCard
You might also need an lte data plan, and the right APN settings.

I finally did get a regular size LTE card... they are RARE but im using a galaxy note and im pulling about 23-25MB/s but It keeps bouncing between that and 4G so I know its in the baby stages but yeah the LTE stuff is all equipment base. If the LTE settings that auto come up doesnt work just delete it and make your own it ltemobile.apn and it should work. I had to do it with mines.
You need both apn set up and the lte sim card. I think a micro lte sim released with iphone 5 launch so you can get that, otherwise, you can buy a regular sim and cut it to fit the micro sim slot.

I'm pretty sure the iPhone 5 uses a even smaller sim.
Thanks all for the help. Lte isn't here where I currently live but it is where I work. And I can't see changing my account would make a difference but maybe its worth a shot

From fido: Can I use my existing Data add-on for LTE?
Yes, all our existing voice and data plan as well as data add-ons are LTE ready and most of our older data add-on are also LTE ready! This means the only requirements to be able to access LTE are a Fido LTE SIM card, a LTE device and to be within the Fido LTE network.
LTE in Toronto is fully operational, and it works well. They only have standard sizes, like you said and require cut. I'm getting 30-50 mbps down, 10-20 mbps up.

Yeah iphone 5 uses nano sim. Smaller than micro.
I'm also pretty certain that the towers where Rogers has deployed LTE, Fido users will associate to. All Fido phones are connected to Rogers towers, seeing as Rogers owns Fido.

I know I have been on rogers lte since day 1 when it sucked lol but I have a lot of friends and family on Fido that are using the s3 without lte. Unless they just launched it with the iPhone 5 I'm sure they don't have it

You need the lte sim to use lte on fido with s3, i have s3 on fido with lte since the day 1.

Yes They do now. it's been implemented in august. Just go to a fido retailer that has sim cards make sure it says lte, have them cut to fit (some of them have the sim cutter) as they only have standard size and nano. Pop it in Your unlocked sgs3. go in settings>more settings> mobile networks>access point names and select fido lte.
Don't forget to thank me if that was helpful to you.
No lte
Here's the thing: the fido Site says lte is 2100/2600, but the S3 uses 1700/700 for lte. If fido uses Rogers towers, would it not make sense that they use the networks as well?
When I go to Kanata I had lte on my iphone 5, and now when I bomb around there I'm not getting lte on my s3. I have an lte apn set up the way fido and everyone else has said to, but it's just not coming thru...
Can anyone give me any insight?
Just wanted to link to this post I made in the Fido forums for anyone having trouble getting LTE setup!

Hi
Just bought a Note II, I was told it was a sim free model, and whilst its accepted my tesco sim card without issue when I log into google play on my pc its brought it up as an O2 Samsung GT-N7100 so the question is have I been sold a O2 handset thats been unlocked? I know it doesnt really matter that much but curious more than anything
Or is it possible tgey have flashed it with a o2 firmware my mistake?

You could try. Borrowing a friends sim and see if you can send a message. If yes, the you are likely sim unlocked.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
The N7100 is the international version so it should be sim free.
To test your if your phone is unlocked, insert another sim card other than your "tesco". And if it shows enter sim unlock code, it is locked, otherwise it is unlocked.

Tesco runs on the O2 network. That is why, sometimes Tesco handsets will work with O2 Sim Cards only etc...
Yeah I know, hence why im looking to change o2 data coverage is shocking and I cant use sky go or tvcatchup using 3g as it comes up with some rubbish about saying im abroad...

Im trying to get my simple mobile sim card to work on the T-mobile galaxy s4, i bought the phone straight out of wal-mart. The phone says no sim insert sim card. help would be much appreciated
Make sure you push it all the way in and also make sure your sim card is activated, is not defective, and it might be that the phone isn't for tmobiles network? It sounds dumb but some phones when they're not part of their carrier it says that.. And that's all I kno...

Okay, So I just received my Zen 2 about a week ago, It's rooted and BL unlocked and running stock .22 with nothing removed, I can make and receive calls and all in all everything working great, but it seems that no matter what I try I cannot seem to get any data, I have tried everything I know how to do and can never get a reading for data network, I have tried doing the network select thing to no avail, have driven all over town and nothing, I have never before been able to receive and make calls but unable to get a data connection, so I am looking for suggestions, I haven't gone to any other cities, but have used data here with other phones. Thanks
It may be asking the obvious but you do have your sim in sim 1 and not sim 2?

SIM 1
Have you checked that the APN for your telco is all correct?
Sent from my ASUS_Z00ADA using Tapatalk
Have not but wouldn't that also effect calls if wrong?
I looked up the APN and entered the details and it did in fact correct my data connection, Thanks for the help
