Switching One X from AT&T service to NET10...?

Right now I have a One X with service through AT&T. I simply cannot afford to pay the ETF right now so my two options are to get a unlocked SIM card from cell-unlocker or the such and sell the phone -or- get an SIM card and $50/mo unlimited plan through NET10 who now offers their own SIM cards for switching AT&T GSM phones over to their service. My question is this- a) if I do end up going through NET10- essentially I am just unlocking my phone and switching it to their service, correct? So I should not have to pay AT&T the ETF? (Yes I am aware it will eventually go to collections and I do intend on paying it as soon as I have the money to do so). and b) they say on their site that smart phones are supported but it's possible depending on your phone that some internet/web based apps/features may not work correctly. Anyone have any idea if this is true with the HOX and if so what possibly could break after the transfer? Thanks in advance.
I can't post links so here's the info on the SIM card from their site:
AT&T Compatible SIM Card + $50 Monthly Unlimited* Plan
Use your own compatible or unlocked GSM phone on America's best nationwide networks. Select a SIM or SIM bundle to get Unlimited Data, Talk & Text. It's that easy.
Includes Net10 Unlimited* Airtime Card (Talk, Text, Data/Web/Email, 411/30 Access Days)
Unlimited GSM service on the best nationwide networks
$50 per month - Unlimited Data, Talk & Text
No contracts, no bills, no credit checks
Use any compatible or unlocked GSM phone - including smart phones
Keep your phone number
Works with SMS, IM, social networks, email, web
​
They also give you instructions on changing the APN which are as follows:
Find below the values needed to update your device data settings to be able to send MMS* and connect to the Internet via your Browser:
1) CREATE A NEW APN (ACCESS POINT NAME). ENTER ONLY THE SETTINGS LISTED BELOW:
NAME: net10
APN: att.mvno
PROXY: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
PORT: 80
MMSC: mmsc.cingular.com
MMS PROXY: 66.209.11.33
MMS PORT: 80
2) SELECT THE APN YOU JUST CREATED.
3) DELETE THE OLD APN FROM YOUR PHONE IF POSSIBLE.
NEED HELP UPDATING YOUR PHONE'S SETTINGS?
*Updating your APN settings does not guarantee MMS (Multimedia/Picture Messaging) will work. MMS is dependent upon your phone model's limitations. If you have an iPhone and you would like to use MMS, you will need to Jailbreak** your iPhone in order to update your MMS settings.
**Search "Jailbreak iPhone" on-line for more information.

you can do essentially the same thing on straight talk for $45/month. you may want to go to howard forums and try to ask your question there. a lot of long-time prepaid users there.
also, have you explored the possibility to talking to a service rep about moving to the at&t $25month prepaid plan (250 minutes talk time, unlimited texts but you have to pay an additional $25/month for 1gb of data) because you are having problems with your current contract? i suppose you won't get much sympathy, but maybe you can work something out to avoid taking the hit on your credit rating.
good luck.

appreciate your reply- yea credit score isn't much of a concern here (unfortunately) and I did see that straight-talk contract which does appear to be virtually identical for $5 cheaper so that is a possibilty. After doing some further research I have two kind of follow up questions that hopefully someone might know the answer(s) to:
Will have have to buy a sim card from cellunlocker *First* to unlock the phone before switching it? Or I can just go straight to using NET10's sim card?
Is it possible that having the phone already unlocked/rooted/custom rom'd that this will screw it up or vice versa?
Thanks in advance

you dont need to unlock your phone when using straight talk or net10

I just activated one NET10 with ATT network and this is what they gave me for internet:

Well haven´t try.
Connected to my home's WIFI, I browsed the m.net10 site and they give something totally different...
as follows:
APN: tfdata

MMS Proxy: mms3.tracfone.com

And this one works great.

thanks [email protected] These are the first settings that have worked at all to get mobile web on my wifes I927.... now if I can I can get MMS to work all will be well. It won't work over WiFi either so it is probably a different problem than APN settings

Well, after looking around, it seems that MMS grabs messages only on mobile web not WiFi at all. MW pops on to download the messages. With [email protected]'s settings I am getting 4G web speed, but no MMS. Anyone have any ideas? We use Net 10 on an unlocked I927 Glide. Using a rooted stock rom.

Finally got time to monkey around with wife's phone again. I tried leaving the MMS Proxy line blank and that did the trick. Can now send/receive MMS and use Mobile Web..... SWEET.

Net10 Tethering?

Just got Net10 to try their service. The connection speed here is way better than with Simple Mobile, but when I try to tether with the phone nothing happens. I can connect but the browser forever says "looking up ..." I can browse on the phone, just not the desktop. Does anyone know if Net10 blocks tethering, or if there's something I don't have set up correctly?

Well, straight talk blocks tethering. And Net10 and Straight Talk are from the same company, so probably. What SIM did you get, ATT?

yeah, it's an att sim. I saw that you can get a free tmob sim, will that make a difference?

Getting Straight Talk LTE on sim purchased before LTE announcment?

I've had StraightTalk, using AT&T towers for just over a month (using an AT&T GS3). This was prior to their announcement about LTE becoming available. Everything pointed to needing a new sim card to take advantage of it. Yesterday, I noticed the LTE icon in my status bar. At home I get around 17 mb/s, and at work I get only like 1.5-2 mb/s.
I first noticed the icon on the CM 10.2 9/23 nightly. I'm running the most recent 10.2 nightly, and I'm still getting LTE.
Has anyone else had LTE pop up, when using Straight Talk using the old sims?

I have had straight talk for about a year and a half, long before LTE was available on straight talk. I tried to switch the old apn to the lte with no luck. I would just not get data. I ordered a new sim and intended to have my number transferred over to it. I called customer service this morning with sim in hand and asked to be upgraded to lte. They transferred me to someone that could help and he took about 10 minutes and I did not even need my new sim. They did something on their side. I asked if I would need to change the apn and they said no the old one would work. That turned out to not be true. I drove into town as I do not have lte at home and I had no data. I switched to the lte apn rebooted and boom LTE! So it seems now if you have an old att sim that was HSPA only you can call and get it switched over. I was shocked that I got right though and did not get put on hold forever and this worked. Maybe they hired more customer service reps, or I just was lucky.

This is correct they can provision your old sim to work on LTE as long as unused the new apn. It is hit or miss when u call there customer service odds are you will get someone who exactly knows what they are doing 1 out of 10 lol

The above posted APN settings are exactly what I am using and LTE seems to work fine. Mind you I purchased the sim card in Nov. of 13. GS3 I747 4.1.2, downgraded to 4.1.1 root injected, sim unlocked then flashed to Hyperdrive 16. All is well with LTE on this end.

I think it might depend on the service area. Where Im at I only get H+ but a hundred miles away in a bigger city bang it auto switches to LTE and hello speed, goodbye battery.

Thanks ...broski. Are you using a att model on Tmo? Or a T-Mobile model? Need the apn of someone using att model on T-Mobile to receive mms

I have both versions, att and tmobile. I put the apn in the att one for the tmobile network and it works everytime. I use go sms though also and set the apn in there too so that may be why it works.

At&t APN settings for tmobile network

I've already tried the T-Mobile internet and mms apn and the T-Mobile US LTE. They enabled the LTE, but couldn't download or send mms. So far that one above has worked so far. Been using it for about two hours now. Will give an update. Anyone else that sees this, I'm wondering if its possible to "rewrite" my lg g3d850 as a lg g3d851 so i can install tmobile's stock firmware on my unlocked at&t lg g3 and be able to run the phone as if it was a tmobile lg g3, ie, wifi calling, tethering, etc. I got the tethering working through the root and edit values method, just want to know if there's a way to rewrite the entire phone

One thing to consider for people reading this thread is that the AT&T version will not work for free wifi calling on the t-mobile network even with the proper APN settings. I was about to buy a brand new AT&T variant and unlock it for tmobile. But for a little more money I can buy a brand new T Mobile version that will not need to be unlocked and will work with wifi calling which is a big plus because I only have 100 minutes on my $30 a month plan

tethering?
Would you be generous enough to share how you got your tmobile tethering working on the att g3? I've tried all I can think of and nothing

I have a T-Mobile LG G# on AT&T. I was not getting mms and the issue was that the APN type had spaces. I don't know how the AT&T support didn't catch that on the hour long call where they remoted into my device but note below:
My setting was
APN type: default, mms, supl, hipri, fota
I removed the spaces to match the settings below:
APN type: default,mms,supl,hipri
I know have working MMS.
Hope this helps anyone coming from T-mobile to AT&T but I'm sure it applies to any APN type setting.
Cheers.

Cellular Data problem

At the beach today and was getting 3g to 4g showing on my phone (stock not rooted). Mail, chrome, maps and other programs were not connecting. I set up my tether to my tablet and it was able to use the data to connect with things just fine. Normally I have no problem with cell data. I assume the signal was not as strong as usual at the beach but it did show 4g and 3g and I would have thought if my tablet was able to receive the tether and load data fine the phone should have.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

oh oh, just re boooted phone, and now cell network state says :CONNECTING..
This could be good, but will keep here as a answer to others, I hope!!!
Nope, went from Connecting to DISCONNECTED again
So original question persists!
(wifi on, phone fine, wifi off, no data...ie, cell data not working)
OK. so far , update from original post.
************it Seems that despite my telling the associate at the AT&T store I had a grandfathered, unlimited data plan.
AND that yesterday's chat with billing), My plan was re-configured to be a "no data plan, pay as you go" device *****
The nice person at the tech support hotline escalated the problem to tier 2, and also gave me a TICKET #. (YES, you ALWAYS need a ticket number at ANY carrier when you have problems like this!)
She also gave me a 3gb plan for today/tomorrow, and told me that tier 2 would be able to re-establish my grandfathered plan.
I also told her that this happened WITHOUT MY CONSENT, WITHOUT MY SIGNATURE, and that this could become an FCC complaint (they HATE those!) as well as the automatic termination of my 2 year contract from my side.
SO, we will see, and I will update later in the week.
but I currently have data now, that 'connecting... was the key message'
