question about sim card.

I just upgraded from treo 650 to a 750 and I love it, but I am afraid I might have to take it back since I cannot afford the 40$ data plan. I have always had the 20$ plan unlimited internet but now it doesnt work with the treo 750. I looked at alot of forums for help but no luck. I think its a new problem with the sim cards that they make the new treo owners upgrade to. My friend has a 750 and he doesnt have any problems with the 20$ media max. I talked to a att CS and they told me its not possible to have the 20$ media max plan. I tried putting on and off the feature on the att website with no success. Can anyone confirm that it is the SIM card? Thanks alot in advance. I want to keep the 750!

Yep me too!!

yup im also running the $20 media max plan...i really dont think its the new sim card...you need the sim card to use the 3G network...as for changing to the $20 media max...you could try this...if you have a regular phone from ATT or cingy such as a razr or something, change your phone online or go into a store and change your imei to the razr since your only supposed to use the $20 media max plan on a regular phone...ohh and as for asking a rep if you can use it on the 750 let alone a pda...lol they will say you cant do that or it wont work...lol they are supposed to say that...hope this helps...

Just Sold My HTC

Hey guys, I jsut sold my HTC P4359 Today, and now I need a new phone
I definitely want to upgrade, but I live in USA and everyone knows we're hella slow with phones
I just want to know whats the best place to buy HTC/O2's ect in the US? I sorta like the "Mogul" but I'm on a GSM network with simchips
Thanks,
P.S. please let me know suggestions for my nexy phone abt 400-500 to spend

Well, the closest thing to the Mogul in that price range for GSM networks would be the ATT 8525. But, if you were to switch to ATT, you could get a new 8925 when it's released in the near future for about $500.

Well, I don't really like the TyTN. Plus I wouldn't want to get into a cntract with cingular, as i'm pretty content with T-Mobile I'm not opposed from buying overseas and having it shipped here either.
Or does anyone have their used phone or something? Nothing too used, no scratches ect.

I'm loving my UbiQuiO 503g.
520 mhz processor
U.S 3G
WM6 Professional
People were having some issues but they released a new Rom and Radio and mine is working perfectly now.

Buying a PDA phone

Anything that works with Cingular/AT&T, and has WIFI.

ATT TILT...

Hermes TyTN (if u want to spend less)

Well I just spend $240 and bought a Hermes (8525) from ebay, brand new refurbished.

Now I need a new phone, cause im using an oldd nokia and its annoying =/

Bummer...Ebay can be a risky venture (refurbished is a bad sign)!

I have a hard time believing that though.
The last phone I got, a Cingular 8125, refurbished from cingular, before it was at&t. It lasted 1 1/2 years, until somebody stole it from me. =/ And it was still working perfectly.

hopefully nike in the near future ;-)

HTC Fuze on T-Mobile

Hello,
I am very interested in purchasing an HTC Fuze and using it on T-Mobile. Is any one currently doing this? Can you please give me your feedback.
Also, what are the unlock solutions for the HTC Fuze from AT&T. I know I can just call then in and ask for a code but is there another way? Also is there any lock on flashing ROM's?
Where is the cheapest place to buy a Fuze without a contract? Right now I have a deal for $375. Should I jump upon this?
Thanks in advanced

HTC Fuze and using it on T-Mobile, you must have the subsidy unlock code. Even after you unlock it, you still could not enjoy the 3G (assume you're in t-mob 3G coverage) because i lack of 1700 MHz band. Unlock code you can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426609 I don't think at&t gonna give it out for non-subcriber. You may want to try your luck, then.
Flashing ROMs different than att, you must have your phone in super CID status. Refer to the link above.
$375 w/o contract and still whinning? Could you please disclose that source? I want to get some more.

I am currently with T-Mo and using a Touch Pro. So long as you can live with EDGE speeds you should have no problems. I went to a local wireless reseller to get my phone unlocked. Once it was I lodaded the Elite ROM. I have been using that for about two weeks now and I haven't had any problems. So far the only big issue I have is the "stylus issue". I'm hesitant to inquire about a replacement as the GPS along with everything else works great.

I just wanted to toss in my experience. I purchased an unlocked AT&T Fuze and am using it on T-Mobile. I got sick of waiting around for a decent Windows Mobile device to replace my Dash. I was able to get it for ~$420.
So far so good. I've heard that my voice sounds a bit odd, semi robotic. I'm not sure if that is a problem with the mic or what is going on, but I've ordered a Jawbone 2 so I'm not really worried about it.
EDGE is EDGE, it'll do for now until T-Mobile will get their act together and release a decent device, the G1 just won't cut it.
If you have other questions feel free to ask.
J.

How and where can I get it unlocked?
Is the ROM locked too from changing ROMs?

look at the link in the 2nd post

Wow,
sorry I didn't even see that whole sentence. I think I'll be purchasing an unbranded HTC Touch PRO anyways.
Thanks a lot for your help

I have an unlocked version that was purchased in Germany from the guy I bought it from. I may have paid a bit, but unlocked phones are usually much more expensive. The version I have has the second camera. Anyway...I'm using it on T-Mobile and it's working well. I did put the latest AT&T radio on it and it seems to have better signal. As for 3G.....well..T-Mobile only has 1 tower in my area so it'll be a while before 3G makes it here. The owners manual stated that to use 3G your sim card must be a 3G enabled sim card. I would think that you could use 3G if you have one of these cards and are in a 3G network. I could be wrong.... I hope it'll work!

I have a t-mobile data plan, do I cancel that but can still use EDGE or do I keep that on to USE EDGE TOO? And how do I USE EDGE FOR IT?

Hi all, I am also on Tmobile with a fuze. I unlocked it myself with the help of a purchased unlocker from this forum (thx). I have been running ROMeOs and 1.11 radio I believe. I was wondering about the new att radio on the tmobile network. Does it drain the battery faster? That is what I have read. I love the fuze and being able to actually do something with it besides the [email protected] wing that tmobile released. I am happy that they will be releasing a touch pro 2 release soon but that will be 6 months or more. I got tired of waiting also.
Lets keep this thread going and make the touch pro really usable on tmobile!
As far as having a dataplan on tmobile, I dont use one. I just use tzones, which still gives me a slow data connection, but only costs me 5.99 a month. Better alternative from $25. Edge is the only thing that the touch pro/fuze will be able to use on the tmobile network since it lacks the 1700mhz that tmobile has choosen for 3g.... kinda sucks.. but that is life.
Check blownfuze.org too. great site for the newb fuze user.

I purchased mine already unlocked for $300.00 from a guy looking to get an I-Phone ( what an idiot ). He said it was only 1 month old and it was and still is in mint condition.
The rom I'm using is in my sig, about to upgrade to his newest version RRE 5.8. Radio is 1.02.25.32 and I haven't had any problems what so ever.
I love it.

The skinny
you can get a branded one and buy it w/o a contract and ATT customer care HAS TO give you the unlock code. May take a couple of days but they will do it. If they say no then ask for a supervisor. As long as you paid full price they can't deny you the unlock code. I used to do contract work for ATT as well as work for Tmo

t-mobile or ATT ?
I'm currently with t-mobile and get good reception everywhere. I don't plan on paying more to get 3G or any data plan. I just want to use wifi at work and home.
I want to buy the cheapest used HTC Fuze I can find as long as I can call someone get an unlock code and flash it to one of xda-portal's best firmware mods.
Other than 3G, is there any reason to choose ATT over T-mobile (since my current plan is cheaper than I can get at ATT) I do want to get all the functionality of an unbranded phone.

Overall cost locked vs unlocked
Are there any differences in the the physical structure of an AT&T vs. unlocked phone?
I need a new plan.... I can get a Fuze from Amazon for $150. The contract requires a data plan for 6 months which is 6 x 30 = 180. The data portion can be canceled after that without any penalties. In the long run I want the phone for wi-fi, not data. So the Amazon cost is $330 after 6 months. I can get a bit of interest on the money that sits in the savings account each month.
Unlocked Fuzes on eBay are going for $340-450 most of the time. Believe it or not, someone recently paid $909 + $10 shipping. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=280334270835
So if I need you need a new plan, it's cheaper to get a Fuze from Amazon and not wonder if the "New, unopened" eBay phone is really brand new. If there are other considerations please let me know so I can make an informed decision.

Just an FYI. If you have or get web2go the $9.99 data plan from TMobile, they fixed it to where it will not work on unlocked/non-TMobile phones. Mine and many others with this problem just occurred very recently.
I believe there are a few people that had found a work around or a temporary fix for this. But I just went ahead and purchased the $24.99 data plan so I won't have to worry if my internet will work or not when I need to use it.
If you can get an unlocked Fuze for a good price, jump on it. Flash you a custom rom and you will be very pleased. I know I am.

Really wish I woulda seen that before I put my order in with Amazon. From what I hear, Amazon's cellular division is not too keen on giving refunds.

I am on T-Mo (USA) and thinking of getting a fuse (unlocked) will i be unable to get 3G at all with this phone?

yeah no tmobile 3g with the fuze. but i have the tzones plan for $6 a month back when they still offered it and can use unlimited internet just fine.

yea ..i just ordered a scratched screen fuze for $200. i was hoping flashing the rohdium radio would give 3g but i read about that bricking the phone. so is it it ever gonna be possible?

Alltel TP with cracking chrome

Has anyone had any success trying to get a replacement phone through alltel? I've got an alltel phone about 3 months old, and the chrome is cracked in about 5 places on the screen side. like its split all the way across the chrome. I've heard Sprint will replace these phones as defects.. anyone know about alltel?

VZW TP
If you are thinking about going with VZW, the TP is on sale for $99.99.
And the mail in rebate for $70.00, mages it a steal.
I just paid $55.00 for the XV6800, after a bleeding heart discount.
VZW is not allowing other carriers ESN's on their nutwork, even if they were once on it.
But with the markdown on the TP, and the XV6900 has been $9.99 for a week now, I think the TP2 is coming real soon...

And this has to do with my question how?

Since VZW took over Alltel in our area, we can't even reach Alltel anymore. I have a TP which works perfectly. Wife just got a TP which was bad from start. Alltel sent her a refurb. It was worse. Then the merger in our area. VZW says won't do anything, see Alltel. No Alltel to see around here. Not a direct answer, but a warning to all other Alltel clients.
