Will ATT charge me?

I was looking to buy the inspire unlocked from bestbuy. I already have the old data plan 15$ unlimited (grandfathered) + unlimited family messaging. If I pop my sim into the phone will ATT charge me for using an inspire? Even if my rom is changed and my sim card is the old 3g one not the 4g? Thanks

Yes. 10 char

Really? I am using an unlocked european Desire hd right now and they haven't said anything. But it only gets edge. Does that matter?

If you can get ahold of an unlocked Telus DHD you can get away with the data plan you currently have.
If you use the Inspire you will get caught since they have record of the IMEI numbers.

They didn't give me a 4g sim card,its still the same 3g card.

The 4G SIM is for the upcoming LTE, all current phones use the standard 3G SIM.

I bought mine off contract and I got to keep my 20$ unlimited plan they just had to switch me to the hspa unlimited. At the worst you should only have to pay five dollars more a month.

Att?

Hey guys could my sim card affect my speeds on att's data network? I have a sim i got about a year ago on a 3g phone, should i go get a new one?
And also, if i pop my sim into an old phone such as a razr and start a basic phone data unlimited pla., and then pop it back into my inapire, would it work at the same speed?
Please help, and please ask if you dobt understand anything!

AT&T lied.

I hear that there are 4g sims, but speeds don't seem to be effected by swapping.

The 4G sim card is only for LTE wince HSPA still uses 3G or 3.5G a new sim card will make no difference.

you dont really need a new sim. i am using my sim card from 2006 and i get 3-4Mbps download and 2Mbps upload on the ATT network. sim card really doesnt play into it from what i can tell.

"Unlocked" Sensation- asking for PIN with AT&T sim...

So I bought a used T-Mobile Sensation 4G. I have 2 sim cards- a prepaid T-Mobile for cellular and an AT&T data sim (from the Tablet that I sold). The T-Mobile card has worked perfectly (for phone calls). I put the AT&T card in today for the first time and the phone was locked and asked for the pin.
I am running Revolution 6.6.1, Sense 3.6, ICS 4.0.3.
Can somebody tell me what the problem might be? I know the data plan from AT&T is meant only for tablets... is that the issue?
I ask because I am taking the phone with me to Europe in a couple weeks and want to make sure it's ready so that I can pop a sim card in and be ready to go when I arrive.

Your not unlocked bro do it again but art you won't get 3g fyi only edge but still works

AIO Question

My Nexus will be here tomorrow and I'm wanting to sign up with AIO's $60 plan. On their site it is asking for an IMEI. My concern is that the new Nexus IMEI may not be compatible with their 4g network. Has anyone else had success with AIO? I don't want to be stuck on 3g. Should I be seeking an IMEI from another device as a work-around? If so, what device, and where? My current phone is a 1st gen HTC Evo with sprint. Any help and advice is much appreciated!

Ive been wondering the same thing also.

They're using AT&T's network, I'm on it right now and get HSPA, HSPA+, and LTE. Works 100% fine. Used the same SIM card on my nexus 4 and had great service.

I've also wondered if AIO's LTE (AT&T) will work on the N5. So you have the N5 and it is working no problem? How are the speeds on LTE and HSPA+ (yes i know they throttle, just wondering how it feels)??

Unfortunately i don't have have a Sim to swap. I'm wondering if I order one using the IMEI from the new Nexus 5 will I be able to access 4g? Or will I be bumped to 3g because the Nexus 5 does not show up in their system?

Using Aio SIM from my N4 with not so good reception where I live and getting decent speed.
FYI, the N4 wasn't in their system either and needed the EMEI to activate.

Activating a nexus 5 on aio will be a cake walk. Nothing like the problems people over on sprint are having.
