I want to cancel the data plus plan for my inspire 4G, but att require the data plus plan for smartphone. the only way to cancel the data plus plan is change a phone and not using htc.
so my question is after if i changed a non-smart phone in att,can i change my sim card to inspre 4g by not turning the mobile network (my phone already root +
S-off and it's ship s-off). will att know that i was using a smart phone? if so, how can att know that what phone i was using?
plz help me out! thanks very much!
They will know what phone you are using based on the imei number. You need a non at&t branded phone in order for them not to automatically add the data plan back.
is there any thing i can do for it? some technical things?by edit the imei number?or something outs?
I am planning on buying an inspire from USA. It is locked to at&t network. Is it possible to carrier unlock the phone?

Just root it with the hack kit, it's in the Dev section.
Just a reminder, the Inspire will be limited to 2G speed in most countries.

In my experience, if you have been a long-term subscriber to AT&T wireless services, if you call them they will give you the unlock code over the phone. It's what we did (two phones) when we traveled overseas for a few months a couple of years ago. OTOH, "renting" a local SIM card may be a more practical solution.
I have rooted mine and am running on the Telstra NextG network no problems.

simply rooting it with ace hack tool kit will carrier unlock this phone PERMANENTLY
I went to my att.com, clicked on the tech support chat link, asked for the code, he gave it to me & the directions 4 verifying unlock. Free, no hassles. Im only a customer for 6 months

From their site:
It's Cheap - It costs much lesser than what your service provider or a local technician would charge.

Bad English aside - you'd rather pay a fee to unlock your device then read and educate yourself for a day or two, then run an application that will unlock, root, and s-off your device in one easy step?
I've just bought an Inspire 4G, and it's goingo to arrive tomorrow =)
Thank you guys! I almost paid to unlock it...
But, I want some opinions...
I've got a mytouch 3G Slide, and now the Inspire...I guess that both of my carriers 3G frequency is 2100MHz, but I use one with a data plan (on my Slide) and the other just for calls on a another phone...
So...I keep using my data plan on Slide, instead my Inspire, or I won't get any problems using my data plan on Inspire?
Thank you all again

Your inspire will get data, just not at 3g speeds.

Question answered thread closed
hi folks -
i have an inspire 4g (on at&t) that i rooted using the hack-ace kit. i'm going to be traveling to switzerland and wanted to get a prepaid sim card there to use instead of roaming on at&t. as i understand it, if i used the hack-ace kit, my phone should be unlocked so that i can use a sim card that i buy in switzerland. is that right? is there something on the phone i can check that would indicate to me that it is, indeed, unlocked?
and finally, is there anything else i should know about or need to do beforehand? i'm counting on this plan and just want to make sure that everything goes smoothly once i get there.
thanks!
When I sold my inspire the first time it was for a guy who had tmobile he just popped in his sins card and it worked

Guys, i need help. :|
I am brazilian and i'm about to take a RAZR HD used, but the phone is locked by VERIZON.
Is there any way to unlock the phone?
Help :|
The Droid RAZR HD from Verizon should be Global gsm sim unlocked, meaning you can buy it from Verizon go to Brazil and put a gsm sim card in it and it should work without any problems. No need to unlock it or anything.

But i heard the VERIZON devices is CDMA...they really compatible with GSM network? Your device is verizon, but you use the verizon services?
Hello,
I'm planning to buy a Razr HD too, i'm from India. I once bought the Motorola Photon 4G from eBay India and the network was working fine. I used an Aritel sim card, it was a Sprint device, but since Photon is a world phone it read the SIM. The major problem it had was that the internet wasn't working on it, and the phone had MANY bugs, I couldn't even connect it to WiFi. So, without internet connectivity I just used it as a MP3 Player.
I want to buy Razr HD, and Motorola is not launching it in India so the ebay one is a Verizon Unlocked. I'm pretty sure that the phone will read the sim, but i have my doubts wether it'll connect to the internet or not. Even in your case, I think you will be able to make calls etc. but i have my doubts on data services.
Should I go for it? Or just pick the LG Nexus 4?

well, the owner of the phone has cutted and inserted a micro sim on the razr, but the message "the sim card is from a unknown source" has appeared in the screen :|
Is it a GSM SIM or a CDMA one? Try to re-insert it, or try another carrier. If the phone is locked try unlocking it

Why do these threads continually appear? They have been answered at least a dozen times.
The Verizon model of the RAZR HD is UNLOCKED FOR INTERNATIONAL CARRIERS. No codes are required. If you want to use the Verizon model on a US GSM carrier (ATT/TMobile), you have to do a little hackery.
Yes, you will see an annoying "This SIM is from an unknown source" warning when you start the phone. Press OK to bypass it (or root the phone and freeze the APK that displays that warning.)
I have been to Australia numerous times with this phone -- there is no CDMA anything in Australia -- and the phone works just fine on AU carriers at HSPA+ speeds.
What about the internet connectivity? Data Connection? GPRS settings don't come automatically and dont work manually.

The owner has cutted a GSM SIM and inserted, and the message has appeared. The phone is only locked by Verizon.
I've read on many sites...the Verizon Razr can't be unlocked... i'm confused. :|

I haven't unlocked any phone yet, so I dont know much details. There is an unlocking key which I think the service center guys know about. Not Sure

Did you not read what I said? The RAZR HD, is UNLOCKED OUT OF THE BOX. Do NOT pay a service to unlock the phone. IT IS ALREADY UNLOCKED. No code is required.
Everything works fine internationally (this includes data). You can manually enter APNs if you have to right from the settings page. Just pull out the Verizon SIM, and put in whatever international SIM you want. That's all you have to do. Note the phone uses Micro-SIMs, so you will need to cut a regular SIM down to size or buy a micro one.
The only time you will run into a problem is if you bring it to the US. The radio won't accept an ATT or TMobile SIM. If you fall into this small subset of people, then you will need to change some values in the radio. There's a thread on here somewhere about it.
As I said before, I have been to Australia many times with this thing. During these trips I removed the VZW SIM and used an Australian SIM to avoid Verizon's insane Australian Charges ($5/min voice, $25/MB data.)
I bought a house and moved.
No service in the house with Verizon.
So, I switched to AT&T.
AT&T told me I would get HSPA+ with my Verizon S3.
Well... I have 2G, voice, and text.
Anyone have an idea of how to get HSPA+ enabled? Is it possible?
I have a custom ROM, but I can flash anything if it would help.
I don't think it's possible, they run on completely different networks (CDMA Vs GSM) and the phones radios are built accordingly.

There is a way cant remember where i read it, maybe on the t-mobile forum. I recently bricked my att device and came across a verizon variant and was able to use it for att with out having it sim unlocked just a few hours ago steps taken were as follows:
After swapping the motherboards i factory reset the non rooted verizon device from the settings menu as I was just going to sell it on ebay. I had been using wifi only on a sim locked t-mobile device but the camera was not working so i switched back to the verizon and was prompted to complete the set up after i booted the device with no sim card inside. I got the no sim card message and ran the app Region Lock Away that has a red circle icon and a black unlocked pad lock by chainfire. I was skeptical 1 for the device not being rooted but tried anyway. The app said it was not able to verfiy root and closed; however once I inserted my att sim card without powering off the device i saw signal bars. Now Im not sure the app actually did anything and I might have tried the app before resetting it without success but after checking the network mode in the mobile networks tab it now shows Global as the preferred network. So i started texting people and then calling all with success. Now im still on the edge network and this may not solve your issue but I remember seeing the work around I think it has to do with correcting the APN settings but there is always a way to get things done. Keep looking you will find it. Im just happy to have cell service again but Ill be looking for the thread in a day or so as well.
Forced into an AT&T phone. It worked for 4 days then stopped. Their tech support claims the tap wasn't compatible and they don't know why it worked
I had 2g for those 4 days
I'm always on wifi but noticed my data wasn't working so not an ideal switch but if you are in a bind it does work. I'm still running at&t network on this Verizon motherboard just fine
