[Completed] Free data on unactivated Phone? - XDA Assist

Hi I run android 4.1.2 on an unactivated at&t z998 with no sim card and I'm wondering if its possible to still get data? It shows the cell signal up by the WiFi signal so I was wondering if there was a way to use it. Thanks in advance!

Hi
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
Without a sim card you can't get any data or cell except for emergency calls. Your phone is a wifi only device now.

So is there a way I could still get some sim card that's just unactivated and use that somehow? I know that you can get one somewhere. If I do then what would be my next step?

No Sim Card?????

OK so hears my question I currently acquired a t moble htc sensation 4g from a friend who cant afford it anymore. I have a free phone with 250 mins a month and it uses at&t network found that out by the phone number look up.
My nephew also has a t mobile Sim it wouldn't dial out but didn't say no Sim.
I already know that the phone has to be unlocked to use other Sim cards and I did method 1 of unlocking my phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107 but only the date was displayed instead of my Sim code now before I proceed with method 2 of unlocking I wanted to know if it would then recognize my Sim card and work or any other way to make it work before I use this method Please help.

I got the 'STRING: NOT FOUND' error on method one, so I moved to ADB Guide method and successfully unlocked it.

If you unlock the phone, it will still work with the original SIM card.
One possible reason that the other T-Mobile SIM didn't work is that it might not have been a newer 4G-capable SIM card, or the contacts became dirty ( they can easily be cleaned with a pencil eraser).

No sim in Inspire

Is it possible to use the Inspire without a sim card on WIFI for internet and email?
Every Android phone I have ever used has allowed me to "use" the phone without a sim card, but the inspire has a pop up message saying:
phone options
unable to detect your sim card.
Please make sure that your sim
card is properly inserted and
restart your phone.
The only two options that I have are "shut phone down" or "restart", and I have been unable to find a way past this message to use this as a wifi only device.

You should have not an issue to do that....make sure that there's no SIM in the phone or you won't be able to use it. With no sim on it u can access the phone and use WI FI and mail with no problems at all...I am currently using it no sim at all...
theres no sim in it, yet i keep getting that same message....tried rebooting the phone and everything.

Have u entered wrong unlock code a few time? that will lock the sim...Maybe u can try rooting and gaining S-OFF to see what happens...of course is your choice, but the Hack Kit will give u simunlock...it should work after that.

I actually just picked this phone up via a trade so my wife could try Android out, so all I can say is that I haven't entered the wrong unlock code as I haven't attempted to unlock it.
Thanks for the help, though, I appreciate it.
yeah easy way is just to run the ace hack kit...it will unlock and root it...THEN you shouldn't have no problem of running it without sim card...very simple and easy to do too

What sim did you put into your galaxy s3?
i also have the SCH-R530 from cricket, i was trying to use a GSM Sim with the phone but i get no mobile network message, the phone reads the sim because i can see my contacts and my provider even the APN info, i tried following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809314 but i wasnt able to make it work with any of the settings listed under Phone Info App. im using a Mexico Telcel SIM card by the way.

OK I think it's hilarious that his friend bought "anus cellphone".
In all serious ness, I have a Cricket GS3 rooted with CM installed. Is there done setting I can modify to make it work when a T- Mobile SIM is entered?

I've had no luck with this i tried to put on the Verizon ROM but no luck it wouldn't even let me start the process
I wanted to put on the ATT rom but the owner of the phone took it back and was trying to return it to the US to have it exchanged (i'm from the Caribbean)

[Q] Cant connect to AT&T network

I restored with the US 4.4.2 on my Moto G. Its the US GSM Unlocked version. I have my SIM card in and everything and it still cont connect to AT&T network. I have tried other SIM cards and still not working.
Maybe it's locked for this provider.Or still locked ?
Nevermind I got it. Simple noob mistake. Restored with the wrong files.
Thanks anyways
