Does the galaxy tab plus wifi model (GT-P6210) have GSM capability?
I've been searching/reading for the last few hours, but I haven't found a definitive product manual/spec sheet that answers my question... a lot of the spec sheets online have conflicting info.
basically, i'd like to get a tab+, and run it as a wifi tablet around the house, but also be able to run it through the tmobile voice plan as a cell phone (NOT DATA PLAN) after rooting/installed sim card. samsungs website only lists GSM band support for the GT-P6200 model, so i wasn't sure if the antenna was in the wifi only model (GT-P6210) and disabled, or absent completely.
sorry for being a noob about the devices' capability. i have genuinely searched around this forum and dealers websites but would appreciate confirmation from somebody that has actually done this (or something similar)
thx
No. It does not. That's why it is called wifi only...

thanks, thats what i initially assumed, but some tmobile tech support was trying to convince me otherwise and i didnt want to drop money for one without confirmation.
It has no cellular hardware. You can set up a pbx if you want to make calls over wifi, but that's about it. I just tether it to my phone over wifi

Hello
I got a Rooted HTC Wildfire-S on Android 2.3.5 and I wanna know if there is a way to bypass bandwidth limitations (100mo) on mobile internet maybe by spoofing the MAC address of the 3G interface?
Dont think so lol.
I would imagine your data usage is tracked by your IMEI or SIM depending on carrier. Not something you can really bypass.
I get very bad signal at my home. Even when i go outside in to the backyard of the home it is not any better. I know the prl has to do with what cell towers it will connect to. If i change the prl on my cell phone will virgin mobile cut my service? Reading a lot of places that maybe the only way to fix the signal problem. But virgin mobile does not allow roaming i am also reading. So what will happen if i change the prl on my cell phone to one from sprint and pick up more towers then i am suppose to?
Thanks,
Will something like this work for me to fix the signal problems i have - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-AIR...gnal-Booster-airwave-/360463338188#vi-content

To answer your questions......Changing the PRL will not cause virgin mobile to cut your service BUT if you return the phone to them with a PRL change they could void your warrenty.Changing the PRL could help with signal but it's not 100%.I have tried multiple PRL's and have gotten either no boost,little boost,or in one case worse signal.You may have to try ALOT of PRL's to get one that works best for you in your area.
To do the PRL change for the first time you need to be on the stock ROM to find out your phone's MSL.Doing this for the first time can take a long time if all the drivers for your phone haven't been loaded to your computer.Here's a list of stuff you need to do this.....Any cut app from google play,alogcat app from google play,and QPST 2.7 build 3.66 downloaded to your computer.
There should be a step by step guide on here for this.If you can't find it message me for help on this.Also please thank this post if it helps.

If do not change the prl i am set to pickup all the sprint cell towers?
If i change prl i will gain roaming so like i could use verizon's cell towers?
I found this site - http://forums.androidcentral.com/vi...l-swap-v-vm-latest-prl-sprint-towers.html#anb and i found this site - http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1725703-HOW-TO-Motorola-Triumph-PRL-Swap Are this two site the right way to switch the prl?
I also read Roaming does not work on Virgin Mobile! While roaming, you will not receive your phone calls or texts, and you can't make calls or send texts! Your data will also not work when roaming. If this true?
Where can i get the latest prl file? I see the ones on the two sites i found are from late 2011. Thought there might be a newer one out.

Changling PRLs will not allow you to use Verizon towers. Changing PRLs will only be of benefit if it provides an update of tower locations and allow you higher priority. VM users might get lower priority than Sprint users.
If you are using an old PRL, you may not have access to some recent tower installations.
VM users can only use Sprint networks. We do not have roaming privileges. Consequently, you cannot roam ... outside of Sprint networks. There are so-called hybrid PRLs, but i have never heard of anyone making one of those work. Other networks have their protocols in place and changing to a hybrid PRL is not likely to give you roaming privileges. It might provide you with the tower locations for Verizon, but that does not mean that you will be able to access them.
On the outside chance that you could, you would likely be breaking the law and certainly VM will cancel your account and/or bill you if caught.
PRL
I am trying to change my PRL using QPST and after it says success i reboot and no PRL tried about 36 times its really annoying?? Any help please?
This may be a dumb question I dont know?? Anyways I am trying to understand the internet call option in phone settings. Where I live I dont get cell service and I am usually roaming or just have no service and was wondering if I chose to use internet calling while Im at my house if that would work??? Also I am not sure how to set it up cause if Im not mistaken I would have to make an account and I dont have any clue on how to do that?? If ANYONE could please shed some light on this topic for me that would be really awesome!!!!! Thanx in advance..
You may want to try sipdroid. I think you can add your Google Voice number now.

So I recently bought this ZTE z812, I'm from Venezuela and it is connected to Digitel but it only connects to EDGE, I could change my provider to Movistar but I want to know if there is a way to make it compatible since it works with movistar's LTE and 3G but not with Digitel's.
I'm a complete noob so in my head it doesnt make sense that it works with one provider and not with the other when talking about (what I believe) is the same thing, and in my head there must be a way to make it possible, now in reality I don't know if it is true or if it is just impossible, if it is impossible I would love to know why.
So, do any of you know how to help me with my problem? (total noob, it would be useful if you could tecnically explain so I can research about the topic and better understand it)
Thanks in advance
