Hello,
Is there any unbranded rom to use internet2.voicestream.com?
I tried to change apn from setting.
I tried to use apnmangger app.
I only get web2go subscription upgrade required page.
I have no problem using that with modified HD2 with Froyo or WM7.
Thank you in advance

I'm sorry, what's the question? You're trying to set up an APN to connect to that?
My bad if I'm totally lost.
Can you explain this a little more?
Just call up T-mobile and tell them you're trying to set your phone up with a non tmo device. They'll transfer you to advanced tech support. If your phone is unlocked they should be able to hook you up with the settings to get data on the network (if you have a data plan that is).

Good question, and this is kind of a swore spot for me and I'll explain. Plus I talked to T-Mobile today about this specifically so I know the answer. My friend has the $10 T-Mobile internet plan that was available before the current plans came out. Its a swore spot for me because I just missed out on getting that plan when I called them a couple months back, and I'm still paying $20/mo for internet :-(. Anyway, that plan has a 5GB usage cap. That plan also worked with his Android phone. Now that plan is no longer available even though old users can keep their "grandfathered in" plan and pricing. The new $10 plan that replaced it has a 200MB usage cap...
Hope that clears things up!
(p.s. I know swore is sore but I like swore...)
Hey guys, I know that there was another thread on this previously, but there was no answer. I have an old Sim (from around 2008) and just purchased a Skyrocket. I tried using the APN for the LTE, but didnt recieve any internet signal at all. I am currently using the HSPA+, but I was wondering if you guys had any ideas on what could be causing the problem. Thanks in advance.
Call att they will add the right plan...

You need a lte sim

...you're using a SIM from 2008?
You need a new SIM dude.
Yes, I am actually an old employee and they never took away my plan, so I have avoided going into an ATT store or calling them for about 3 years. lol. What is the difference between an LTE sim and another one? I thought that they just got smaller.
I was in the same boat as you earlier this week. I was still using the same sim for probably the past 4-5 years.
I had to first go get a new LTE sim from the AT&T store. Mine was free although I've heard some places try and charge you.
Next I had to call up 611 and have them change my data plan which was previously listed as "Blackberry Personal Unlimited" <--LOL and switch it over to one of the new LTE unlimited plans.
Took about 5 mins on the phone with the ATT rep and I had LTE service. Congrats on the phone! I've had mine for less than a week and am loving it!
Hey any of you guys think Best Buy would give you a free sim?
Corporate AT&T stores (from my experience) give you free SIMS....Authorized Retailers usually try and charge you.
I have never had a problem with my local AT&T Corporate store, it's the only one I will go to....I never go to an Authorized Retailer.
I really only go to BB because of the insurance being 9.99 a month

Call AT&T and have them provision your line with the LTE plan, there's a specific plan that needs to be added so that your phone will connect to the LTE towers.
I came from an iPhone 3GS. I was allowed to keep my unlimited data plan (which doesn't exist anymore for new people) and got my SIM for free. I did this at a retail store. I say just go in. Verify they aren't going to do anything you don't like before you give them your account info.

You may have to perform what's called an IVR acceptance. I'm recently separated from the company but I consider myself a decent expert on the processes. Did you order the phone from online/call center? If so, when AT&T sends the phone, due to you not being able to PHYSICALLY sign a contract when you upgrade/activate, etc., they place this feature on your account until you dial *862 (from the CURRENT, not new, phone) and accept the terms. You'll need the Billing Zip, Account Holder's Last 4, and the phone # of course. It's all automated. Try that out and THEN insert the new SIM in the SR. It amazed me how many customers would call CARE or go to a store and get stuck for hours because the "rep" thought it was a technical issue when it's really a 2 minute process.

I'm assuming you just attempted to just swap the SIM into the LTE SR and keep it rolling. They're correct when they say you need a new SIM. There's a coding to the network that older (especially 2008) SIM cards won't accept because the network hadn't been constructed @ the time. You will ALSO need an LTE data plan on the account so make sure you've done that as well.
Thanks for all the help guys. I think I am going to give them a call and switch it to a new sim to see if that would work. I have to switch phones first, lol. My plan is super cheap right now, and I got the phone at a steal at 340. My sim card is old as hell, and I will see if it will work without me having to pay more for my old employee plan. I hope they dont ask me for my supervisor's name. Wish me luck.

Do you have the data feature as stand-alone or integrated into the rate plan itself? Some school districts did it that way. 99% of us have stand-alone. If that's the case, it shouldn't affect your current stasis.
Skyrocket CM7 O/C +
Its the one that has it all integrated into the single plan. Here is the text from the plan.

Wow. Rather unique plan you have there. Looks like you have a grandfathered plan that isn't for smartphones. That being the case, outside of the iPhone 2g trick, you're stuck with capped data options.

Someone else a RadioShack employee too? Been gone since mid-08 and am also still on the same plan. I was looking at finally upgrading my Touch Pro 2 and was curious about the data. Looks like I'm pretty much stuck considering I don't want to lose my $25/month plan.
unlimted
I was able to keep unlimited grandfathered data with 4g, but no matter what i did, or who i talked to, LTE would take it away, so i said keep the 4g, im using a skyrocket, and i dont get lte in my area for now, so its kind of ok ( except for travel)
but i had to do this all on the phone with an att rep, nothing was doable online.
hope this helps someone.
Hey everyone, just had a quick question.
Is anyone currently, or previously, gotten the Nexus S successfully working on at&t's $50 unlimited everything plan? Data doesn't seem to work and I've tried a couple APNs. So, has anyone had success with this?
Thanks!
If they at&t catch you IMEI as a smartphone and a data hog they will cancel you if you don't get a data plan.

Why? Sounds like unlimited everything should include a data plan.
Not to be off topic, but AT&T is like that. If they realize you have an Android Smartphone, I am sure they will try to add other 'data' charges. Simple Mobile would be the way to go for Prepaid. It's $40 a month unlimited everything. And data should work out of the sim card box.

Oh yeah. I forgot this is att were talking about. Bunch of scum bags.
Hey guys got a quick question. When you tether a rooted phone is there a way to not use your data plan? I tethered my phone yesterday, but as everyone knows unless you were grandfathered in with a unlimited data plan you can not get an unlimited plan. Needless to say I already used all my data. I thought when you tethered a rooted phone ATT could not tell you were using data. If there is a way could someone please explain how to do it. I am using OS RCMix.Energized, Please help and thank you.
What??? What do you think gives you the ability to surf the web when tethered? Data doesn't just magically appear. It uses your phones data connection.
please go away. we arent going to help you bypass and steal from AT&T. you apparently don't understand what this site is for. Go to the ATT store and have them help you.
Hey guys there is no reason to get mean about it all you have to do is explain. Didn't you guys start out not knowing how all this works. I'm new to rooting and I asked a simple question no need to tell someone to go away. All you needed to do was answer my question. Sorry you guys think I asked such a STUPID question. Thought this was where a person could get a decent answer even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear. Thanks for being so obnoxious and rude. K.M.A.
