ok the sim unlocker worked!! but i have a problem... 2 actually
#1 i used a prepaid tmobile sim and i talk an text but i cant use internet, i dont think when i select the network im using that it downloads all the settings it needs so what or how do i set the internet to work? added info: the card has 3.00 left on it i dont know if i should get a talk text and web plan on the sim and maybe thats it, i dont know. also i tried ATT sim and all the network settings downloaded and everything worked, the only thing is that card was a regular sim not prepaid with talk text and web on it. so i dont know if it matters.
#2 i used the unlocker and in step 3 i didnt do the cid unlocker i only did sim, and security unlocker. is there a way i can cid unlock without doing the whole 3 step program again?
You need to ask your carrier or google the data settings because the phone does not download them

Where do I go about entering this information?
I'm going from a T-Mo dash 3G to this flashed and unlocked Sprint TP2. I have the voice and text working, but not anything DATA related.
Direction is appreciated, thank you
actually all u do is call tmobile and tell em u switched to a tp2 and they will configure it for u. thats all i did and everything worked after that
I just called them
The gent who I spoke to said it should take effect within 2-48 hours.
It made me curious, so I asked him if he punched any provision or if it just "happens" over time. He said the latter, said to call back in 3 days if no luck so we can manually punch it in.
I'm too impatient to wait for t-mobile
Thanks for the tip though I appreciate it. Anyone else?
settings
it will generally take effect within the 2 hours or sooner in most cases. if it dont just call back and ask tech support to do it manually with u. mine was in 10 mins

Did you keep power cycling it? Or did you just let it do its thing normally?
I keep doing a power cycle since that's what the CSR Recommended, and now when I log on to the browser, it flashes a G instead of the E for a split second, but then I get the "Cannot Connect, dialed #777" error
Am I getting close?

I was wondering if my AT&T 3g sim card (from tilt) would a. work in a blackberry phone, and b. will I still have my unlimited data etc. I believe the plan is called PDA personal max or something.

Click to collapse
it will work but you may have to change the data plan(not sure as i dont have att). just call costumer service or wait for the answer here
im not sure what the personal max plan is... but if you look at your bill check and see what it is using for data, if the billing goes to wap.cingular ... see if you can set up a blackberry connection using this:
access point name: wap.cingular
user name: [email protected] (must be in caps)
Password: CINGULAR1
domain: wap.cingular
if this is your plan and you are accessing the internet using this connection it should still work the same as your tilt.

Help Needed!
I am currently living in Mazar-E-Sharif (Northern Afghanistan).
I am a current mobile subscriber to EtiSalat. I have activated the GPRS plan and applied the required credit (1000 af) to actually run the service.
I have contacted customer service (888) and the second I mention that I have a HTC G1, they immediately say that they cannot provide support.
Anyways, I told them to activate my GPRS regardless.
Well, 24-hours later, it worked! Like a charm.
About 4-days went by and no problems. Well, as of yesterday, my phone has decided to not even recognize and EDGE network.
So, is there anyone out there that could possibly help me by providing the APN for EtiSalat - Afghanistan?
This is what I got so far:
APN: etisalat.af.wap
Proxy: 10.0.0.172
Port: 80
Thanks in advance.

Anyone have any luck with this? I'm bought a sim card and am trying to get it to work with my modem, but cannot get the internet portion to work.
Use these settings...
I am in MeS as well.
I unlocked my T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant and these settings worked...but I just got a Galaxy S II from Amazon the other day and of course these settings work for this as well, since it is already unlocked.
Check out this thread on here...these settings work...

Etisalat introduced HSPA+ a few months ago. Truly awesome for this place.
How can it be awesome? The APN settings are keep secret for some reason. I paid for SIM, and data plan. The APN settings they gave me dont work, and their customer service (888) is nothing but a bunch of push 2, push 4 recordings.

Thank you for the reply Szadzik. Still isnt working for me. I have tried the following:
I get the Edge symbol with these settings

Im starting to wonder if my Unlocked Samsung Vibrant can handle the freqs Etisalat uses for Data. I am sending text, and making voice calls no problem.
Etisalat-Afghanistan GPRS/APN
I'm at KAIA using an Etisalat SIM that I purchased Jun 2011. Data worked fine the whole summer using the little (overpriced) Samsung BT3410 I had to buy because my old WM5 finally gave up the ghost. Was back home ~1 yr then came back here last month (with the Samsung for local and HTC7 for other stuff). Seems Etisalat changes the settings on a whim and I had a heck of a time trying to find the right info.
So, as of today (2012-11-04), Szadzik's two line response is correct.
-- Set the "Name" to whatever you want (I usu put the APN name).
-- Set the APN ("Access name" on some devices) to "etisalat.af.web".
-- Clear out all the other settings (e.g., Proxy, DNS, UserName, PWD) and save the profile.
Once I did that (and obligatory reboot), all was good, relatively speaking (the phone itself blows so no great loss if it gets eaten by an MRAP).
@lostwhat83 (and anyone else that pulls the settings directly from the AFG Etisalat site), the information posted on the site is wrong!
--==--==--==
On a similar topic, anyone know how good the Etisalat signal/speed is at RC-SW? Heading there shortly...
thx,

Hi, I'm way in over my head here and sure could use some help!
I have Galaxy S2 SkyRocket i727, gingerbread 2.3.5 that I purchased off Ebay. Great phone unfortunitly my carrier dosen't sell or support this phone. They only carried a couple smart phone choices that really wasn't much of an option so I just took their free phone hoping I could just insert my Consumer Celluar Sim into the Galaxy. Everything works fine except, no 3G data connection. I have one of the "Connect" dataplans CC offers but am unable to set the correct APN setting on this phone.
The stock AT&T rom apn setting do not allow me to enter some of settings for CC like Proxy Push.
These are CC web apn configuration settings
Name: Web
Proxy Push: Enabled
Authentication Type: Secure
GPRS access point: att.mvno
Homepage: mmsc.cingular.com
I'm wondering if I root the phone and flash a custom rom would that allow me to enter the correct APN configuration settings? Is anyone aware of a custom rom out there that would do this or have any other solutions?
Leon
I think once you're rooted and flash a custom rom on, you'll be able to enter the APN's manually. I have the skyrocket and flashed DJ ICS Plus V2.0, wickid rom btw, and I'm using it on straight talk. It allowed me to put the APN's in manually while deleting the previous APN's already on the phone.
Thanks Pak, I'll give it a try and see what happens.
Custom Rom for Galaxy S2 SkyRocket
I flashed the new ROM DJ ICS Plus V2.0 but am still not seeing how I can change the APN setting to work with my carrier Consumer Cellular.
The carrier data setting need to be
Name: US - Consumer Cellular Web
APN: att.mvno
Proxy: Enabled
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
Authentication Type: PAP
APN Type: default, supl
In the S2 Access Point Setting there isn't a field to enter Protocol and no "supl" APN choice. Also if you don't include 310 in the MCC field and 410 in the MNC field you can't save the Access Point settings at all.
In regards to MMS Protocol, I'm assuming the rom has it already preloaded to WAP 2.0 or something since thats what I needed it to be anyways so I didnt have to enter anything. For APN type, I selected "internet" for my data and when I had another APN set up for my mms, I just selected "mms". In regards to MCC and MNC, you should be able to enter the 310 and 410. It shows up on mine.
Your right about WAP already being configured because email and other connections work. Messaging works too, just not data. I tried internet and internet & mms options for the APN Type but neither worked. I also tried inputing the server name of mmsc.cingular.com as suggested on their web site for non-Consumer Cellular phones but no luck with that either.
I had to leave 310 MCC and 410 MNC values in those fields because it would not save the Access Point if left blank or with any other values input.
the link below probably wont be much help but he had his proxy set up as proxy.mvno.ccmobileweb.com, maybe that will make a difference?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904249
I had seen this site before also, tried it but no luck either. I must be missing something altogether here. You wouldn't think this would be such a difficult problem to solve.
dude I don't know, I know you probably did this but did you put "http://mmsc.cingular.com" instead of "mmsc.cingular.com"? I dont know if the http in front will do anything.
These guys below say you can only get data using EDGE, not while 3G is turned on (mind you its an iphone). Maybe turn off your 3G and see if it picks it up?

Is your SIM card designed to handle 3G data connections? Not all SIMs are created equal, after all. Granted, you'd think that recently-made SIMs would support 3G, but you're not always going to be so lucky. I know this was a major issue once upon a time when 3G networks started to roll out more consistently and not everyone had a 3G-capable SIM.
In other words, has this SIM been able to talk to 3G networks before? Or is this the first phone you've put this SIM card in that has 3G?
If your SIM doesn't support 3G, ask your provider for a 3G-enabled replacement SIM.
Let the yelling begin. Just got my G2x from ebay

any ideas.
so if everything works, whats the problem?
the problem is no data . no internet
That would be a sim issue. You may need an unlock code to have access. Other wise check your vpns
Sent from the last drop of EaglesBlood: 4.0.4 G2x
Well alright, I just read phone works text work and so on... try putting in the apn's in??? I just googled this try looking more if it doesn't work for you. Other than that maybe SIM???

unlock code
I think the phone is unlocked. That is they way it was sold . Says t-mobile on it but when calling or txting displays att ( that is the nokia e71 sim ), and the the att.mvno that I entered .
How do I check if it is unlocked?
If its unlocked it should all work. http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html Try looking through here. US is almost all the way at the bottom. Not sure exactly what your using. Not sure if you need the sim carrier or the baseband carrier.
Edit: oh, and if you have access to the phone when you put your sim card in, you said your making calls and sending texts. Yeah, your phones unlocked. The internet thing though is a little weird.
straight talk g2x
It could be the way straighttalk connects to internet. The sim from E71 nokia works with I phones and straighttalk can't find any info why it wouldn't work with android. Thanks for your input.
Lg G2x on straighttalk setup that works
Here are the steps I used to get MMS working on Moto Backflip with Android 2.1
First download Apn Backup and Restore app from app store, and delete all existing APNs. Then manually enter APNs. In android you must have 2 apns setup for mms to work (at least in my case).
Here are my settings:
Name
HOME
APN
att.mvno
Leave everything else alone EXCEPT the bottom selection that says:
APN type (here you must enter the following)
default,supl
Then save, next choose to add another APN
make it look like this:
Name
MMS
APN
att.mvno
skip down to
MMSC
http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy
proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
MMS port
80
skip to:
APN type (enter the following)
mms
THEN SAVE
You will see that only one APN has the option to be chosen, that is ok, Just choose the one that is able to be chosen.
Now go back to Homescreen and then reboot your phone.
This works for me, hope it can help you. I tried a hundred different ways and this was it. Capitalization is important, and the APN type was the trick.
GOOD LUCK and let me know if it worked for you.

it works 2g where I am now but I am in
Did you get the data to work? I've been considering going to ST. I've had them before, and for a prepaid company, had really good experience with the service in my area. The same can't be said for Tmo
Lg G2x on straighttalk setup that works
yes it works. The configuration I used is posted a few days ago. The speed for connection shows 2g. Other than that it works well. I am looking for the code to get 3g now. If you read the code above you will see the words tracfone. That is a 2g network ( I think ). I think I have to change that.
Well it's all the same company. Not sure how they handle that. I wonder if it might have something to do with using the SIM you used, (which would make ST right when they said you need a new one.) In any case, I'll just be buying a SIM from them to use on my phone, so maybe it'll work out fine. Unfortunately, I'm still under contract at the moment, so it may be a little while longer.
Straight Talk works well on the default Tmobile ROM, but I just upgraded to Eagles Blood and the T-Mobile SIM settings do not work at all on Straight Talk (for MMS+Internet). Does anyone know of a fix?
These are my settings:
Name: Straight Talk
APN: wap.tracfone.com
Port: 8080
MMSC: http://mms.tracfone.com
MCC: 310
MNC: 260

Hey All,
I bought a Bell (Canada) HTC 8X C625a for use on AT&T and put my sim in, ran connection setup and all was working well. That said, now I've just noticed that when someone sends a text with media, I get a text saying "Get media content now (xKB)". When I touch the link, I get nothing but the same message over and over. I'm assuming AT&T is using a different APN than connection setup installed.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

That was not as easy as I thought... So first I got on chat with AT&T and they started out OK but ended saying they don't support unlocked phones of any kind. Then I went all over the net and found so much conflicting and useless info. Finally, I went to HTC and they've been pretty damn good over the past 4 days or so. I just can't believe that no one has had this problem before. Anyway, here are the instructions if you ever find yourself in this situation;
Start off by going to Settings>Mobile Network(or equivalent by carrier). Tap on add Internet APN. Fill out the APN with "pta" then click the save icon.
Next, click on Add MMS APN. This time, fill out the following information; Anything not below, leave blank.
Access Point Name: pta
WAP Gateway (URL): proxy.mobile.att.net
WAP Gateway port: 80
MMSC address: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
Once again, click on the save icon and you're done.
Hope this can help someone else in the same position. :good:
Good luck.
