Nope you don't have to unlock. Simple Mobile uses Tmobile's network.

Nope...once you go to SM you are free of T-Mo. However, if you use Wifi calling or other T-Mo branded items you will not be able to use them on SM.
I did have a data loss last week with Simple here in Sacramento. They had tower issues. But nothing else of consequence.
One issue that I have had. On virtually every ROM is editing the APN. YOu can usually edit it once, but when you go back in often the APN's do not show up. Food for thought.
Lol. Hmm thank God. I'm going to get sm tomorrow. Thank you very much.

Actually you can and do get 4g depending on where you are located. I am in Sacramento and get 4g speeds on SM.
Your plan also has to do with speeds. If yo are on the $40.00 plan yes, you are restricted to 3g. If you pay $60.00 then you get 4G.
And no you do not have to unlock for SM.
They do offer a $60/month plan that has 4G. As usual the giant word plastered all over their website and retailers is "unlimited" - which, as we all know, is a load of crap. Yes it's "unlimited internet" - however you get 1gig at 4G - then the rest of the month you're throttled to a whopping 56k (so useless you can't even stream a song with it).
As for the disappearing APN problem - if you run the CM7 ROM, and you're APN's are not in there - all you have to do is pull the battery out, restart the phone, and the APN's are back in. Also as pointed out the specialized apps for t-mobile like the wifi calling app won't work.
Anyway - all that being said - I've been on Simple with my G2X for 3 months and it works quite well for me. Only wish they offered more data in the plans - so I try to stay connected to a wifi hotspot as much as possible.
I thought there flyer says 2gigs of data hahaha on the 60 dollar
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Yes you do have to be unlocked on simple mobile. You cannot use a simple mobile sim in a locked phone. You also get 2gigs of data on the $60 plan and 4g if available in your area.

You could in fact be throttled. Did you recieve a text for T-Mobile about them slowing down you data for the rest of the cycle? Throttling is when T-Mobile slows down your data because you overused it, during your month cycle. Hell, I'm on a 5GB cap and I'm throttled. ): Guess you can complain to T-Mobile or wait it out.
Wow I did get a text like that wifi is good though right? Anyway thanks boss for the info

Yes I get 3g, hspa+ speeds with no issues. In Seattle I get average download speeds arnd 2MBps since att network is not great where I stay. But I have hit around 5Mbps in Chicago airport while traveling.
If you want there is a thread in sgs2 forums about people's experience on media net plans and their speeds. For me I didn't see any speed difference between the media net plan and the att 4g plan speeds. So i'm happily using the one which costs less and get unlimited data in the process

Just found this thread. It's helpful in my search.
FWIW, I USB tethered my Nokia 6700 Classic (which I didn't even know was capable of HSDPA until it launched). Signal used to be really good for it, but it started dropping like crazy. Thought it was the device, so I replaced it with another... same signal issues.
Anyway, I think I'm the reason why the signal is all crappy. In April, 2011, I did 800GB of data on my $20 Media Max unlimited data plan. AT&T never caught me. Until that month, I was doing between 10GB and 30GB each month.
Now, I'm looking for an affordable smartphone that is very much NON-AT&T so that I can continue to bend the rules and keep getting high speed internet.
I have been using my micro sim in my infuse and got a text from att saying I should change to a 4g data plan. Does it really matter because I don't want to change.
Thanks

Thanks guys...I talked to a local Rep who said if I didn't change then some of my features wouldn't work. I haven't experienced that using my iphone sim card but if they change my plan to 4g would that affect my iphone the other way? I mean features not working.
I know there is no price change im just concerned about everything working right
I have to say I was having real trouble getting good speeds till I switched. I don't know if I was imagining it or if it was just coincidence, but i switched from an iphone, could only pull 1mb down and 250kb up. Got that text, switched it(its only 5 dollars more I believe) and started pulling down 5-6 mb.

I'm not sure that you can 'unlock' an meid yourself, that's something the carrier has to do (with stolen phones and whatnot)
So if it's on her account, she'll have to get in touch with them herself and give her IMEI number and account details. They should then give an unlock code to make the phone usable again.
If that IMEI number has been flagged (as stolen or possibly delinquent) even an unlocking service won't be able to help you until the carrier clears it.

What you are looking for is to CLEAR the MEID/IMEI so that it can be used on another account.
You can't do that. Only the carrier can. Until the account is settled/paid with the carrier, that MEID/IMEI will be associated/assigned to that account and therefore can't be used on a different account.
Since PagePlus uses VZW towers/service (to my knowledge), you're stuck until the old account issues are settled.
Yup I'm stuck with Wi-Fi only thunderbolt this sux I guess she won in the long run although I have seen some nice prepaid phone's I seen an HTC one and some evo 4g's that have ics and are affordable virgin mobile and boost have unlimited data
