Yes, they all use an regular sim card( the biggest one)
Just an advice, they are a lot more better android phones than the Atirx 2 , you could get a LG Optimus G, Atrix HD, galaxy s3 for free right now if you renew your mom's contract

Hello all, I have a question I hope someone has an answer to.
I bought the original iPhone a few months after release and got the $20 data +200 text messages plan. I have gotten rid of that phone and over the last year and a half have used the Lg Incite, Tmobile G1 and the Mytouch 3g all using my original SIM card and never changing my data plan. These phones all used 2g service only, T-mobile 3g is not compatible with ATT 3g.
My question is, if I were to purchase the Samsung Captivate at full price, could I still use my original iphone plan? My SIM card says 3g, and I have no doubt it would work on 2g, I just wonder if it would actually use 3g and if so would ATT notice this and switch plans for me? I don't mind paying a few bucks more for data if I have too, I'm just not cool with extending my contract another 2 years, hence I want to pay full price for phone.
Thanks

By purchasing the phone at full price, you won't be forced into a contract. Therefore, your plan will stay the same. The reason you sign a contract with the subsidized phones is because the carrier payes $200-300 of the phone for you. In return, your plan most likely raises in price because AT&T usually does something to jack the price up every year. You will still get 3G and AT&T does not have authorization to change your plan since, you didn't sign a contract with them. So, all will still be the same except for your new phone
you should be fine. You may just need to change your plan to $15 data and $5 text plan. I am not sure if you have any contract with ATT but their current data plan is 15 data of 2GB max and 5 for texting. So you virtually are not paying more (unelss you have unlimited data plna).
Captive should work with 3G network so my guess is that you may be able to use 3G.
Ok so I am on an ATT Family plan, its just me and my mother, I had the Samsung Captivate and it broke so I need a new phone, I already upgraded so I cant really buy a new phone from them, but my mother hasn't upgraded and she doesn't plan on buying anything cause shes fine with her old Sony Ericsson feature Phone, So is it possible for her to get a Focus and give it to me, then Cancel her Data Plan Since she doesn't use Data?
Also anyone know how long that buy 1 get 1 free WP7 Deal Lasts at ATT?
Yes... you can upgrade and activate the phone on her line, then swap SIM cards and then cancel her data plan. I have 5 lines and have upgraded them and swapped phones around in any combination you can think of, AT&T doesn't care, they have what they want, your 2-year contract.

Great! Thanks for the reply!
I have a Droid Charge and have an unlimited plan with verizon. If I buy another smartphone for example the Galaxy Nexus on ebay can I transfer my phone number to that phone and still keep my unlimited data plan?

Yes, it will work fine. You can registered your new phone and keep your unlimited plan.
I think the Nexus uses a micro-SIM instead of a regular, so you will need a new SIM provisioned, but they shouldn't give you any trouble about that. Just go into the store and they should give you one on the spot at no charge.
So I walked into AT&T to help my girlfriend go from her non-smartphone plan to the prepaid $65 a month data plan so that she could use an unlocked Nexus 4 using the plan. Before you say she should switch to T-mobile that isn't an option (I wish it was).
The lady there said that she didn't think the Nexus could work using that plan because something about it having 4g capabilities. To my knowledge the Nexus 4 is NOT a 4g device (not LTE anyways), and I left very confused about something I thought would be extremely easy.
Could anyone explain to me how you would use the Nexus 4 on AT&T's prepaid plan, or AT&T in general. Were they just trying to bait me into getting her a 2 year contract?
Thanks for any help!
furthermore...
I am talking to a rep. online who says the $65 a month data plan only allows for 3g speeds regardless of phone, so what are my AT&T options off contract that allow for 4g speeds?
I have 4 phones on my account
2x sgs3 (unlimited data)
and 2 droid X's (unlimited data) all on the same plan
the 2 DX's are my parents. phones. I would like to upgrade them to a 4g phone.
I am planning to buy outright the new phones (new to them), so I can keep the unlimited plan
my question is how do i get the sim cards for the new phones? (like if i bought them used from someone)
since the dx didn't use sim cards.
do i just go to vzw and ask for 2 sim cards? will they charge me?

They won't charge you. You buy the phone and have them transfer it to the number you want, and they'll give you the needed sim card for free.
