Well phone's terminated and off. Can I use boost unlimited on my phone if I buy the unlock from the guy here? And will the roms support that service well?
Yes if Boost Unlimited is a GSM service provider

I purchased a Xoom through a wholesaler for full price without any contract.
It is a Verizon labelled device - both wifi and 3G
I don't want to use Verizon as they are rapists on data plans and was hoping to use on the sprint network.
I believe that even though there is no contract, Verizon are SOB's and won't unlock the device, so I'm sure there are some smart people on here who can/will?
I want to use Sprint's network as I will use a lot of data and the unlimited plan is great.
Additionally, I will travel to other countries that have CDMA networks that I would want to utilize when I am there.
But most important is the ability to use on Sprint network - is this possible?
Thanks!
i doubt they will activate the verizon xoom on their network
your best bet would be to tether to your phone for data service

Interesting....I chatted with sprint today and they seemed to think there would be no problem with me running the xoom on their network since I have never had a contact with verizon our other carrier.
Thanks for that other link, it seems incredibly complicated to achieve something that is surely very simple given both verizon and sprint essentially use the same technology?
I am a AT&T prepaid user. Can I use the Atrix 4G in it without data plan? I only use Wi-Fi which is much faster.
The AT&T shop assistant man told me that I will not be able to use it if I do not open any date plan. If I am a prepaid user I can not use the phone; If I am a postpaid user I will be notified to add a data plan after I insert the SIM card into the Atrix 4G which is a smartphone.
Currently I also use a smartphone in AT&T network and does not commit any data plan. The phone works great. The shop assistant said the reason is that Atrix 4G is a AT&T phone and will be recognized by AT&T and force to open a data plan.
I do not know whether I should believe him for may be he is just trying to sell me more expensive plans. Is it technically possible to ban prepaid users? Is there any way to avoid this restriction? Since the Atrix 4G smartphone is bought in full price and unlocked, I do not owe AT&T anything. It works in T-Mobile, but does not works in AT&T prepaid, which seems very rediculous.
You may use any phone smartphone that its not ATT branded.
But if the phone is a ATT branded they do detect it using the imei and force you to add the expensive data plan. You may run a few months without been detected, but sooner or later they find out and force you to change plan.
I know this for fact because a used to use a Xperia X1 that came unlock from other carrier on ATT, and they never force me to change plan, but as soon as I started using an Iphone on the network a few weeks later I got a txt msg telling me they detected a smartphone without data plan, and automatically added the data plan.
You can modify in Setting-->Wireless&network-->mobile network-->Access point name. After that, you can set user name, add, pass follow your mobile's network service. Good luck.
have beeen using a atrix since march and have had a iphone since 2g on att using my sim with no data plan. just put the sim in and off you go almost 5 yrs now, and no forced data plan.
Ok so I know I'm a noob when it comes to some things on here, but I think this is a legitimate question so bare with me.
Basically, I have to move back home to Trenton, FL because of personal family issues. The problem is that I get absolutely NO service from T-Mobile over there. (It's horrible) I have a rooted and unlocked G2x for T-Mobile/ATT. My question is; can I simply purchase an ATT sim card and use their network back home without having to shut off my T-Mobile account and switch to ATT? From what I've researched, I'm pretty sure it's possible to "Borrow" service from ATT's towers over there with an unlocked T-Mobile phone and a data plan, but I'm not 100% sure. It's not a huge deal, but I'd like to know the answer before I actually move. Thanks!
Can someone please give me an accurate answer?
In short, no. If you want to use Att's cell towers but have a tmo subscription that would be considered roaming. If you had an att SIM you'd have to have service from them, it wouldn't be service from tmo. You could get some sort of roaming plan (I think) from tmo that would allow you access to the att towers.
I appreciate the help, but I'm pretty sure I have roaming from T-mobile. At least, I think I do, cause I think I've roamed before cause I've seen the symbols E and G on my service bar before. Hopefully this is good news! So I guess I'll just have to ask T-Mobile and see what's up.
The t-Mobile rep told me that wherever there is no tmo service you will piggy back on att's network for free. I've done it with both att and cellular one.
Call them and ask to be sure. But you shouldn't need to get a new att sim.

Wouldn't bother calling about this...
1) To roam onto AT&T's network, they would have to have a roaming agreement in place. They only pay for roaming agreements in areas where A) They realllly realllly need to have coverage, and B) They don't already have coverage. If T-Mobile already has coverage in an area, they won't pay for an AT&T Roaming agreement. Even if it is bad coverage.
2) If you put an AT&T Sim in the an unlocked phone, then it will have nothing to do with T-Mobile while the AT&T Sim is in there... that is, as said above, you would need to have a service plan with AT&T and as such a new phone number, bill, etc...
3) You can't add a special roaming plan. They don't exist. You get all the roaming that's available already. Now, if you go OVERSEAS that's different - you have to call to add INTERNATIONAL roaming, but that's done so you don't get charged for international roaming without having been warned first. But for within the US, no, you can't get additional roaming on your T-Mobile plan...
The sad thing is, Roaming used to be a lot more common. Wireless services have gotten so competitive, however, that many of those old roaming agreements are dead and gone. Nobody's willing to share their networks any more.
If you bought an AT&T SIM and use that in the G2x, then you would simply be an AT&T customer, except I don't think G2x supports AT&T's 3g band, so you'll just have EDGE.
If T-Mobile doesn't have coverage where you're going, you can call them and terminate your service with T-Mobile, provided that you have proof that you moved there, and T-Mobile has zero coverage in the town you moved to. Otherwise, either keep your TMO account alive, or you have to pay a contract termination fee.
Damn guys I'm glad you told me all of this, especially the part about proving where I'm moving. That's awesome, now I don't have to pay two cell phone bills. Hells yes.
Does anyone know if Sprint bans you permanently or temporarily from signing up for new service if you get canceled for roaming?
Why do you get canceled for roaming?
If you data roam too much they will cancel your contract. My question to the op is were your roaming on purpose? Using Verizon PRL's?

I haven't been canceled yet but I am using the Verizon roaming hack and have been warned. I wouldn't care if they canceled me now as I have moved to an area that has very bad coverage from sprint but I'm moving to an area that has good coverage from sprint later in the year and would like to return to sprint at that time. For now if I get canceled i plan on using a prepaid gsm until I move. Just wondering if anyone had any experience getting a new account after being canceled.
???????????
I need call forwarding and my current prepaid provider, Tmobile, does not support it. Very shockingly poor service among many other problems like no telemarketing mitigation features, no warning when the account is running low, and no included data at all. Using Tmobile has been just a bottom of the barrel experience the whole time.
I see that ATT prepaid works with call forwarding but it is a little expensive for a extra phone at $35 per month.
I only use GSM technology, so considering that, are there any Tmobile or ATT MVNOs that support call forwarding?
