Unlocking and running on T-Mobile USA?

Hi all. Just wondering if the Inspire can be unlocked and ran using a T-Mobile USA SIM card and if it'll work? Will it be limited?

It'll be EDGE only. No 3G or 4G. T-mo and AT&T use different frequencies.

Just get the Nexus S. Inspire is a great phone but so is the NS

Yep I put my friends t mobile sim card in my insprie which is unlocked. It works great. You just get 2g and voice.

Precisely the answer I thought I'd get. Thanks!

Switching to the Skyrocket?

Is anyone switching to the Skyrocket? It comes out tomorrow. I really like my Infuse but there is an update on one of my lines and my mom broke the screen on her phone. So I am thinking about giving her my Infuse and upgrading to the Skyrocket.

In your predicament, personally, I would do it

I'm getting the skyrocket but keeping my infuse.

A beast that in many ways is slower than the 1.2GHz dual core in the real sgs2 which has a ton of development since it is an international phone unlike all this north America carrier specific junk we have to deal with.
Ok so its still a beast and probably highly overclockable, I have to wonder about features like mhl though, the att sgs2 that's already out doesn't come with the adapter, will the sky rocket? I guess the infuse needs a selling point with all these super phones coming out.

I'm still thinking of between the Vivid and Skyrocket, probably Skyrocket though.
I'm not going to do the same thing I did on my Vibrant, and be an early adopter, I'm going to wait a week or 2 to see what development is like, but I truly only want root, and I can wait for everything else.
EDIT: YES! I just looked on the AT&T website, and my area is one that the SGS II (original) wasn't sold, so the Skyrocket is $149.99, and the Vivid is $99.99 for me..
Guess I'll be getting one of the 2. xD

Naw, its a SnapDragon.

Just flashed my phone from MIUI back to stock, ready with the box and everything to go switch out my infuse first thing tomorrow for the Skyrocket!

after having the evo3d having dual cores is not that big of a deal

Debating. I am going to go today to take a look at it if the store has them and decide. Will be keeping my Infuse either way and not using my upgrade.

How is it $149.99? I thought it was going to be $250.00?

Will be skipping this and go straight for the nexus prime.

Thinking about upgrading from my infuse. If NYC is next with lte then I'm set. Now do I get the Samsung and wait 3 years to recieve any support or updates or do I get the vivid and have to deal with its uglyness .. hmmm

Exactly 35 days after using my second upgrade on an Xperia Play, I find out AT&T is releasing a motherload of new phones. This is my face right now.

Oh well, It will be interesting to see how these new phones fare! Plus I still have my infuse! ^_^

If I can get Bestbuy to price match at $150 im in. I do not see it for that price anywhere right now though.

Gave infuse to my stepson, skyrocket in-hand from Best Buy. $249.99 DFW

Will a At&t Skyrocket LTE sim card work on iPhone 4s?

I recently switched from a iPhone 4s to a skyrocket. In order to get the lte network on my skyrocket I had to go to the at&t store to get a new sim card for the skyrocket. I was simply wondering if anyone has tried cutting a skyrocket sim card and has successfully used it on their iPhone 4s?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

It will work. The problem is you have to call AT&T and tell them to switch your data to the Iphone data plan. My girlfriend has an Iphone 4 and everytime she wants to use her Skyrocket, her data won't work. The same thing happens as soon as she switch back to her Iphone. It's a hassle and she ended up sticking to just one phone.

I got a sim card cutter and cut my lte sim card to fit my iPhone 4s. Problem is my iPhone doesn't even see the sim card?! It simply says no sim. Can it be that the lte sim card isn't being read correctly?

Unlocking

So... I bought an unlock code because ATT was being an asshat and refused to give me an unlock code despite their promise to give me one.
I bought the code from cellunlocker, and I've tried all the methods except using a different sim. They all give me the same result: "The old pin you typed is not correct".
Do I have to use a different sim or is something terribly wrong with my phone? I'm going to China next week and I plan to use my phone.

Different Sim. Non att Sim

Tmo or simple mobile. Simple mobile sims are just a dollar on ebay or about 2-5 in craigslist. That is of course if you dont have friends on tmo.

Still doesn't work! I've tried all the methods! D:
Was I supposed to select Galaxy S II or Galaxy S II LTE?

Samsung Infuse on Simple Mobile Network. Can't get 3G.

Okay guys, on the day I got my Infuse I thought I give it a try and put it on the Simple Mobile 3G network. So what ticks me is that I'm always stuck on a 2G network with a big "E" on my status bar. I even called Simple Mobile customer service and they said they can't fix that. Dammit, there has got to be some way to bypass AT&T. Help me out guys. Thanks.

that's just a prepay plan on t-mobile. the infuse will need an att or similar sim card. t-mobile has unique frequencies and features on there network. it is not att's fault. edge only is typical with att phones. try strait talk, they sell sims now and you can specify att compatible.

Yeah...nothing you can do except switch carriers...go to straight talk, its $45 a month for unlimited everything, just go to there website and order an att compatible sim.
Your pretty much guaranteed to get edge when using an att phone on t mobile, simply because they run in differnt cell frequencies or whatever you wanna call it

Hey thanks guys, I appreciate the info. Now that I know, yeah I guess that sounds like a best solution is to just switch carriers. Then again I feel that I made a mistake by buying an Infuse. Dammit, should of gotten the Galax Epic 4G and flashed it to Cricket. But yup thanks guys.

I've been told you cant get 3g because the Infuse is a 4g phone. That could also be an issue as well. I ran into that problem when att had to replace my captivate with my infuse. This is what they told me.

That's not the issue at all...for one thing, the infuse isn't even real 4g...it runs on hspa+, hspa is 3g...so when you have "H+" you have 4g...when you have "H" you have 3g...when you have "E" you have edge/2g
These phones are backwards compatible...if they wernt then you would constantly lose data signal
