I will purchse a Samsung Nexus S I9020T(T mobile version) unlocked
will the data , 3G , MMS settings etc of those settings will be pushed by the t mobile network to the device so I can use them or I have to manualy put them ? wil it be a headache or everything will come into the device immediatly as I put the Sim card in it ?
I am concerned about that...

Just put in your sim and whatever plan you had on the sim, will be on the phone

Are there any restrictions on VOIP with that plan? That is the 100 min plus unlimited text and data (5gb @4G then edge) plan right?
Not really, you can voip all you want at 4g but it will get really slow after 5gbs as you already know, but i think after 10gbs they cut you off, but i doubt you can get that high. I usually got 8-9gbs using phone 24/7 and tethering so youll be good

Good to know thanks.
so do I need to put the settings manually or it's all automatically there after the sim sits in the phone and work ?
No settings required. Just insert your sim card and good to go.

Guys would appreciate any suggestions you have (I have searched this forum and Google without success).
My Desire S is constantly losing it's network connection, I get an x above the signal meter and if I reboot sometimes I get a SIM error (it thinks there is no SIM installed) but sometimes rebooting or toggling Airplane mode cures the problem.
I have had the SIM out, cleaned the contacts and reseated it, had the battery out for a couple of hours and factory reset the phone (which I assumed would reset the radio) all without success.
I have an S-OFF desire running a stock ROM.
I have tried another SIM in my phone which works fine, my SIM in another phone which works fine but my SIM in my phone not.
Cheers.
Replace the sim or use ur sim after few hours...had the same issue....got it fixed by not using the sim for few hours....

Thanks, tried leaving the sim out but no joy, have ordered new sim but that means no phone for four days. At least I know it's not the phone.

same happened to me with a faulty sim but went into the shop and replaced the sim straightaway problem solved
So my Inspire only recognizes one sim card. I tried giving this phone to my wife, but her sim card wouldn't work on the phone. Says no sim. Went to ATT and tried 3 different sims and still only mine works in the phone. I restored the phone to out of the box condition, and still, her sim doesnt work in it, only mine. Any suggestions?

Umm...check that u are Sim unlock with this: (Point 5) http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
If you are then, is known that not all sim cards are to be used in sim unlocked devices, so if you have the chance try using other than your wife´s to see if it works.
If you are not Sim unlock, you can revert to S-ON and then re run the Hack Kit if you didn´t use it to root yours....:good:
Yeah the Inspire was s off and all that jazz. Running ARHD and tried MIUI and still only accepts my sim card. That's why I returned it to stock to start over. Still only accepts my sim. Wifes ATT sim card doesn't work in it. Super annoying.

Brand new sims.
I tried remembering if I hit Sim Lock while in Hboot by accident before, but not even sure what that does either.

Try a different SIM and see if it works. If it does, then it might an issue with the SIM.

Yesterday my T-Mobile Nexus 5 completely lost signal. No matter what I do I can't get it to come back. Its showing -91dbm signal strength, but says emergency calls only on the lock screen. Any time I try connecting to T-Mobile network it says can't connect. Try again later.

hows your sim card? you try it in another phone, or your phone with another sim? have you called your provider, maybe its your account?
I have tried everything other than contacting T-Mobile. I just came from an iPhone 5c to this Nexus, but that's never mattered before.

calling tmo is what i would have done first.
if you stuck in your sim(properly), and are getting an only emergency calls only, that means you either stuck the sim in wrong, the sim is dead, or you have an issue with your service.
Have you tried going to Network Operators? Let it scan and click T-Mobile.
Also, Preferred Network Type, change that to 2G. You may have bad reception at the moment and that's happening. In my house when I go downstairs in the bathroom, my reception hits rock bottom and Wi-Fi is a must.
I remember having this on my first n5. I had to flash back stock ROM and clear everything to solve it. Since then never encountered it again.
Many ppl have complained of it. There is even a bug report logged at Google concerning it.
Try flashing the factory image with fastboot or if you are stock, just factory reset and see.

Where did you buy the phone from?

I have a s4 and a s5 when I try to put the sim in it read and works for a minute but comes back saying sim data stop reading and say sim is locked and reboot. when i reboot it works but then say it again after it tries to activate. The s5 is on a plan thru sprint is there a way to use my s4 account.
Call sprint and have the s5 activated on the number the s4 is currently on
Sprint doesn't let you swap sims
