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.

sim cards ??

ok so sim cards are dieing from what people are saying. i am on tbolt #3 and my original sim card . so i have 2 sim cards just chilling should i put a new one or just keep rocking out my first one everything seems to be working ok fresh root and rom but what can i do with the other sim cards and are they only for my phone or could someone else use them and if so i got 2 brand new sim cards for sell or trade lol

You tryin to sell something that us free,and if you sim is working why would you wanna change it?besides that you would have to register the sim card under your number,you got some kinda access to vzw's system?

I didn't know they were free I was just saying, but you have to call an 800 number to set up the sim (activate) just like you had to do to your bolt when you first got it. Why would they send a new sim card with each new phone? Knowing I already had one? verizon and the insurance company. you never know a new 1 might be better my data speed just a thought?

Your sim has nothing to do with speed. You can't sell something that is free.

Why are people paying for them if they are free? Ain't nothing free

Id call VZW and see if they would replace it.

They don't always send out a new sim card with replacement phones. They sometimes do it to eliminate the possibly of a bad sim.

Htc One S on Simple Mobile $40

How does simple mobile's $40 unlimited plan work with the One S?Is any body in here on that plan? If so what is the data speed? I am planning on using the One S on TMO's $30 5gb data plan but the 100 mins is too short. If the SM plan has 3g unlimitted I'd rather sacrifice 4g speed for unlimitted mins and 3g. Thanks.
Sent from my EVO 4G using XDA

I wouldn't go simple mobile because I had the $40 plan back on my amaze and the 3G speeds are a joke. Also if you want to use the internet you must program the APN settings which is annoying and sometimes doesnt work anyways along with MMS.

But it is on simple mobile's approved phone list,it even states that it will work on SM's 4g.

Does Simple use T-Mobile's 3G bands? If not, the best you'll get is EDGE.

True, but they cap you at around 1GB of data use on 4G and 3G speeds are the same as EDGE speeds. I never had a problem with simple mobile till last month when they completely cut off my data for going over 1.5 GB on my Nexus Prime. I was on their $60 plan. There are also videos on YouTube that show simple mobiles 3G speeds and why you shouldn't go with them.

I was thinking about switching to simple mobile I know the 3g speeds are terrible but I'm on wifi 90% of the day so it really would affect me there is wifi at my college wifi at my work and wifi at my house lol so I'm ok with edge speeds

I would much rather stay on tmo with the $30 5gb if all I use is internet and less that 100 mins a month..

Samsung galaxy s 2 skyrocket on att gophone???

I'm going to get a used Samsung galaxy s 2 skyrocket in a few, and I was wondering if I could get att's gophone service on it? I would love the 50 dollar a month service but it seems a little bit too good to be true. Anybody have any info or tips for me? Or will this work out? Thanks in advance!
Sent from my HTC_Flyer_P512_NA using xda app-developers app

I'f I'm not mistaken you must have a specific type of gophone sim card for it to work, like one out of a prepaid smart phone through them. I highly recommend looking at straight talk. They have a BYOD "Bring Your Own Device" program where they will sell you an AT&T compatible sim card with unlimited everything for $45.00/month. That's what I'm using and my service is phenomenal, no dropped calls, get service in building's etc....

And straight talk is cheaper...how is their internet speeds? Fast or slow, because its not a straight talk phone so I'm assuming that the speeds will be kept at a minium.

I use straight talk with my skyrocket and I average between 3-7 mbps.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Cool, that's good enough for me. I did the math and att has got to be crazy for what they want with a smartphone plan. 50 dollars a month for 250 min for talk, unlimited text and 1gb of data for 50 a month??? Crazy! Thanks again for the straightalk suggestion! I just ordered the att sim card for it.. but how did you get your phone unlocked so you could get straight talk?

You do not have to unlock your phone to use it with straight talk because the sim card you purchase through them is for att compatible phones so it's the same bands minus lte. When you get the sim card in the mail there will be instructions on how to activate the sim and add an apn.

You are a life saver bro! Now I don't have hunt att down to get a unlock code. Thank you for this info! Can't wait to get my Sim card i'm the mail!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

just make sure you remove the trakfone proxy because some services reject access to it, causing the app(s) to return network errors and become unusable.

Thanks for the heads up. So not putting the proxy number in it won't effect the overall service right? Like the texting and calling?

ATT sends HTC One XL without LTE Sim Card

Wife just got an HTC ONE XL.... came with a sim card.
Had a hard time getting it activated... but eventually ....
After playing with it for a couple hours i found that it would not send SMS images.
Finally did a chat with ATT and was informed that the account had been changed to a Pay Data plan and that the Sim card listed was not a LTE sim card.
Hard to fathom that 2 people before never made that connection and that they actually sent an LTE phone without the proper SIM card.
Said it will take 3 days to get the LTE card when the phone was sent overnight.

AT&T never informed me that they had no 4g in our area. Needless to say I found out the same way you did. They're really "good" for that.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Turns out that everything was wrong...
1) it is an HTC One VX not HTC One LX
2) ATT only uses one type (different sizes) of SIM cards and they are 3g/4g and LTE compatible.
3) The person who activated the phone, put the phone on a Pay per use plan (not LTE)...
4) The rep I just got off the phone with, is fixing that... temp 200mb LTE plan until the Unlimited LTE plan is put back on, Credit to cover the cost and fixed a number of other issues (like turning me on paperless billing).
So I was in the wrong thread... sorry bout that.

Wow I read that completely wrong lol. Time for me to go to bread.

As a former employee I used to get mistakes like this from all sorts if co workers. Hated it. I knew how to fix it, just couldn't tell. Also you know have an LTE sim card when the 9th and 10th number is 25 or 27
