Who has it working? I put my SIM in from my Tilt and I get a SIM not found. I put in my T-Mobile SIM and I get a SIM not found. I hear of people using these in the states. Help a brother out and tell me what you had to do to get it going.
Thanks in advance
ATT Working on Touch Diamond
I have an ATT sim card and took it out of my Tilt to my Orbit 2 and into my TD. It automatically set it up. I had to do nothing to it. Worked out of the box. I dont know what you have to do. It should set up and start working. Did you get the option to set up for ATT????? I guess it has to read the SIM card to be able to do that...Check again the orientation of the Sim... I put mine in backward first time.

Are you getting 3G on the att sim? If so. what part of the country are you in?
are you getting a good reception for voice? how fast is the data connection?
Satisfied so far
My sim worked right away, not sure why it does not recognize yours.
T-Mobile Data: $20.00 plan: Does not pick up 3G just Edge; however browsing is pretty quick for Edge connection.
T-Zones: worked just as fast as the Data plan, however it would not Update weather nor download emails.
Voice Calls: Great reception.
Phone works at decent speed overall with the tweaks posted here in the forums, cant wait for custom roms...

No, problem
Working with both ATT and T-Mobile
I picked mine up in Chicago today from www.welectronics.com. Make sure you call first to have it in stock. Mine works with both ATT and T-Mobile on Edge. I have not played with setting but on the phone settings, you can select 1700 as one of the options. Perhaps it might work for T-Mo 3G? I am in Chicago so I can't test that.
This sucks. I think there is a problem with my unit. I have tried 6 SIMs and it doesn't see any of them. I tried new ones from AT&T and T-Mobile and still no joy.
I kinda regret trying to get the best mobile available early. I should have waited.

Sounds like a hardware fault

Howdy,
I currently have a Cingular 8125 and for the last year I've been using an unlimited data plan for $19.95. I think this data plan is only for cell phones (not PDA phones) and I honestly can't remember how I managed to pull this off. I think my last phone was a cell phone and they just transfered the plan over.
Problem is that when I buy the AT&T Tilt, I'm assuming they'll only offer me the unlimited PDA data plan, which is much more expensive.
So here's the question - any reason why I can't just pop out my existing SIM card and move it over? Do I need a new SIM card for the 3G functionality? Any way to move over my existing data plan?
I remember purchasing the Cingular 8125 a long time ago w/ a medianet plan I believe $19.99. The representative didn't mention anything about unlimited PDA data plan. So if you still have the $19.99 media plan, you should be fine with it if using the Tilt. I guess it all comes down to how much you use their data...
If your existing sim card is 3g capable stating that you got it last year, I'm guessing toward the end of the year, then you should be fine. If not, you will need to obtain a new 3g sim card from ATT...
hope this helps you...
at last a question i can answer lol.
There are a few ways to go about this
1. buy the kaiser/tilt/8925 outright pop in your sim ATT wont change a thing as they dont track the phone u are using for the most part
2. you can try to do a upgrade to get it cheaper the only problem with this is if you run into someone who is doing there job and checking to make sure you have the correct stuff for your plan. if you go about this route when you go into do a upgrade just tell them you want to upgrade your phone sign a new contract but you dont want anything changed on your plan. most times this will work.
other then that thats about it. Only other thing is you do need a 3g sim if yours is not already it will say right on it if its 3g or not. At a ATT store they norm give them away with upgrades as well as at places like radioshack. ATT sometimes will give you a new free sim if you say yours is lost or not working other places like RS just charge you 25 as thats what ATT charges them for them.

Cool - just checked my SIM card and it says '3G' on the back. I was going to upgrade to the Tilt via my corporate Web site, but that will force me to set up a whole new plan w/ the unlimited PDA package. Instead I'll try calling AT&T and doing the upgrade over the phone. I'll post back here to let you know if it worked.
Thanks for the info!
You can change it at any time....
On the AT&T account maintenance website, you can change your data plan to the Unlimited MEdiaNet for $19.95 if they make you sign up for a PDA plan when you get your Tilt. I did it last week.

Which site is that - just the main AT&T wireless site where you view your account details? And it lets you change to MediaNet, even if you have a PDA? Nice....
I am a customer with Rogers of Canada ...
got a free/unactivated SIM card ( came with my S621 ) ... I kept on using my old card from way back.
This new free card that came with the S621...it doesn't say "3G" on it ... just the Rogers symbol and 5 lines of 4 digits codes on the left side ...
when flip over to other side ( the gold contact side ) ... it said " HSDPA" ... what does that equivalent to ??
Found the answer to my "HSDPA" question:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSDPA
~~~
I have a question ...
I've been using the old card for the last few years .. this card does not have the HSPDA/3G imprinted on it ... but if I want to switch and let's say I told them my old card is damaged and wanted to use this new highspeed capable card ... will there be activation charges ??
other then what's labeled ... both card look exactly the same on the gold side

I tried that, got a confirmation email, but the service never activated.
When I called AT&T they said that that service was not available for me because I had a PDA phone and I shouldn't have been able to select it, much less get a confirmation email.
Tried it again two weeks later and the same thing happened.
Hi,
I've just got my Tytn II and bought seperately a T-Mobile UK SIM to use it with. When I switch the unit on I get a warning message saying "Smartchip not provisioned MM#2". I can't then connect to the network- I just the "no service" message.
The phone detects all the available networks fine, and I swapped in an O2 SIM from my old universal, and it worked immediately- so the Kaiser is working fine.
I tried Googling the error without success, so you guys are pretty much my last resort... I see from this forum that some people seem to have it working on T-Mobile UK.
I hope it's something really stupid that I'm not doing! Does anyone have any ideas on this?
I've been reading these forums for a few years now, but this is my first actual post. I know if anyone can help, you guys can
Tim
I have my TyTN II working on T-Mobile fine. I just put the SIM card in and it worked.
Maybe you have an old SIM which is not fully compatible. How old is the SIM.
It's a brand new SIM, only arrived on Friday.
I'm waiting for another unlocked phone to try the SIM on to see if it is defective. THanks for the reassurance that yours is working- it gives me some hope!
So may be T-Mobile's reasons for delaying the Vario III were actually true!!!
Mine's working fine
Old SIM as well, around 18 months old!
I can also say that my T-Mobile sim is working fine and this is about 14months old, just put it in and installed my T-Mob 3g/mms setting myself and all is well.
Can browse the web receive push email and send mms no problem at all.
must be the new sim, try activating the sim on another phone first if it has not been activated yet, and then once activated and working, put it back in the kaiser. does seem very strange though.
Same here, auto-configure settings working perfectly!
Although it seems to have setup a separate connection for Picture messaging... has yours done that?! Can i just delete that and tell it to use the normal 3G connection? :S
Try T-Mob support
Either take it back to the shop or contact them via the website, I've found them quite responsive on the few occasions I've used them.

Real good phone, ... but nothings perfect
bij Anonymous - maandag 10 september 2007
Its the best ppc i've had, but not flawless like everyone loves to say. 1. The slider is implemented backwards. No, this is not just something trivial because the rotate screen button and the camera both rotate the screen wrong. Also its not convenient for right-handed people. 2. The stylus should drop in at the top, not the bottom. 3. There is no hardware control for the volume. 4. You have to buy an adapter to use regular headphones. 5. Google maps keeps losing the gps signal (although tomtom works fine). Also t-mobile can't take advantage of this phones 3g capabilities which is unfortunate. Every other review is going to say this phone is the greatest invention since god, but I just wanted to point out its not perfect. That said, I am still happy with my purchase and would recommend it.
PLease note the text in Red, what might that mean ??
Maybe it was referring to US T-Mobile, since it is supposed to use 1700 when the 3G is going live?
I haven't seen a lack of 3g mentioned for T-Mobile UK, but may be the Netherlands are different. My problem is more that I can't even get it to connetct to the network... I'm going to try the SIM in a different phone tonight and see if it's broken.
Churchill,
That is not true!
I use T-Mobile NL and subscribed to "Pocket Internet Totaal Plus" :
- Max 192 Kbit/sec download
- Max 32 Kbit/sec upload (if I am not mistaken)
- 19.95 euro / month
- Unlimited usage
My SIM card is very old, I have been using it since few years ago.
The T-Mobile NL 3G is working just fine.
I got the "3G" icon all the time and managed to test the connection with dslreports.com and got 144 Kbit/sec.
Yesterday I tested the internet connection sharing, so I connected the Kaiser to the internet and plugged it to the laptop.
It worked fine! The speed was constant 30 KBytes/sec (tested by downloading big file).
So, I confirmed you that T-Mobile NL is working fine.
PS: One thing that still puzzled me, why dont I get HSDPA (3.5G) connection??? The "H" icon. I tought that T-Mobile has HSDPA already.
Maybe if I subscribed to "Internet Totaal Plus" (1.8 Mbit/sec, 69.95 euro / month) I will get HSDPA ... but, it is toooooo expensive!

Gogol, thatnx for the reasurance.. I am right now on the Pocket internet Totaal woth 64kbps and once I prolong I want to take the Plus version for 19,95 since the first year is half the price.
I beleive that H icon shows only if you go to HSDPA speeds. I was able to reach those speeds of up to 1Mbps on my current subscription (pocket internet Totaal) because there was a whole in the ssytem by T-Mobile. If you get the Pocket Internet Totaal in T-Mobile shop (mind you onlyu t-mobile shop) you were able to just surf in HSDPA. That lasted about 10 months for me after which they capped the connection to 64 Kbps so I am a real unhappy man right now, so Once the Keiser is availbale by my reseller I am going to take the Plus version for 19,50 a month.....
Gogol,
Are you Dutch??
Original Issue fixed
Just a note to report that my original problem seems to be fixed. I just put the SIM card in another phone and it worked. Then transferred it back to my Kaiser and the error had gone.
I have no UMTS, but I'm pretty sure I just haven't found the right setting. Does anyone know if T-mobile UK has HSDPA yet?
Churcill, No I am not Dutch. But I live and work here in the Netherlands for couple of years already. Love the country
I can understand Dutch pretty much, but no speak
And you?

T-Mobile UK allows HSDPA although dependent on what handset you signed up for with them you may not have it enabled on your account. For example if you bought say a Vario II from them then this is now enabled by default on the account. You may need to speak to 150 to get it enabled.

I am using Vario II on T-Mobile UK, it DOES have HSDPA, I got the H icon. You need to ask them to activate the HSDPA service for you if they haven't done so.
Ah, I see .. no I am not Russian Gogol was picked out of nowhere
The Pocket Internet Totaal Plus (PITP) is quite nice, although the network latency is still pretty much high. Sometimes lagging for several seconds
T-Mobile NL is still the cheapest 3G provider, right? I havent checked around yet (will do after this).

Anyone using this successfully ? I'm looking to buy this phone, want to make sure someone is happy with the phone on the U.S. T-mobile network first.
Works fine!
Bought mine out of Hong Kong (unlocked, of course), inserted my T-Mobile SIM card, made a few modifications to accomodate T-MobileWeb, and I was up and running in about 5 minutes.
No problems
I got an unlocked Kaiser. Popped in my sim card and phone and Total Internet settings were ready in seconds. Never a problem since.
bought mine in september..using the tmobile blackberry plan(cheaper same speed as total internet)... sets up the settings for you.... pop the sim in turn it on no mods necessary..... upgrade to 6.1 though ;-) threaded text is nice
yep, my tilt works good... Called up ATT and told them i going over seas and BAM! Unlocked in like 2 minutes... configured it for Tmobile and works Marvelous.

Total Internet plan (w/ free hotspot) is only 19.99 which it is same as the full Blackberry data plan.
Too bad that Starbucks is going to use ATT for their wifi service soon.
hey there ive searched topaz thread and ive not really found an answer that has helped but i cant seem to connect to any apps which required to go online when on data connection (besides opera itsself) example the facebook app wen it goes to connect it just ends up erroring out and not connecting i was wondering if anyone else had this problem and managed to find a solution to it ive had the phone the first week its been out and its drivin me crazy having to either wait till i was in an area with wifi or not being able to recieve my emails on the go which i could do all on my TD1!
Working fine here on T-Mobile. Hope you manage to get it sorted as that must be very annoying.
If you can't get it working a glimmer of hope is that I read that they are looking to sell T-Mobile UK arm so maybe you can get out of the contract if they then change the t&c?
Have you turned off the proxy on your connection settings?
T-Mobile ave left a nasty impression on me.
There's a broken network cell in my area where only GPRS works, so you have to force the phone to connect through that and not 3G (3G connects, but no data will transfer), they refused to believe me, despite testing with a collegues handset and sim proved the same, and walking to the other end of town allowed 3G to work, and back came back again and it didn't, been like that for months. Tech support wanted to blame my settings / handset / anything but their hardware, despite me proving several collegues had the same problem.
I'm just in the process of moving my number to Three (Three and T-mobile are the only choice if you want a large data pack)
cheers mate it took me forever to relise that, yh i hate t-mobile sooo much but ive been with them since they where mercury one-2-one and have a relitivly good deal flext 35 wnw n 1 mobile tv channel for £22.24 pm with them so im sort of stuck there. t-mobile customer serivice is poor network coverage in some areas is shocking in your case have you requested a new sim which might help. ps beware of 3 they are pretty much another t-mobile in disguise but with worst contracts lol
Got a good deal on 3:-
£30 per month for:-
300 mins
2000 texts
2000 on network mins
free skype
3GB of data
Push email
0800 calls are free, and 0845 / 0870 is £0.15 per min. (T-mob sent me a text to say "in order to allign our charges these calls are now 40 pence per min"!!!!)
It's a 30 Day Contract, so I can leave if anything goes wrong.
I'll give 3 a go and see if they work for me, Only support I tend to need is if the service has a fault (which is where T failed me.).
Did removing the proxy help?
It sounds like I've got the same problem as you. I had a t-mobile Ameo before the diamond2 and it as very hit and miss, so much so that I gave up.
When my diamond2 arrived, I tried it with the Orange sim it came with, everything works as it should.
Popped my t-mobile web and walk sim into the phone, it won't get emails, occasionally goes online with opera but not always, won't download weather data.
I'm putting the t-mobile sim in the bin and using the Orange one as soon as it's ported my number.
I've tried for 18 months to get an answer but no luck so far.
I got my td2 and put the tmob sim im. At first I was getting the same problems you mentioned. I reset the network connections a couple of times and disabled the proxy. Then everything worked fine and has since. Very happy with it tbh now, awesome phone.
ten
trinode cheers mate clearing the proxy did help thanks mate finaly i can use the fone and the services to its potiential now lol that doesnt sound like a bad deal your getting the appealing factor to your deal is the 30 day rolling contract
i'm still having problems with youtube. tried everything and it's still not connecting :S
The Youtube app should start working if you just leave it to its own devices for a while.
The only problem I'm having is with Fring, it won't connect over Tmobile but is fine over Wifi. I guess it's because I'm on the cheapest WnW tarriff which I believe bans VOIP, so they've probably blocked Fring's servers.
Never mind!
I called up ATT and got the unlock code for my friends old HTC Tilt, unlocked and placed my T-Mobile SIM card in it which has an active voice + text + web account on it, with the default ATT Rom on it I was only able to set it up to do voice and text, whenever I tried using the Data connection for like let's say IE it would bring up a page for web2go, even after Flashing the phone with different ROMs I found on this great site and went through the auto communication setup for t-mobile, and still it only does voice + text, any ideas?
Right now here are my specs:
HTC Tilt
R: 1.70.19.09
G: 25.83.40.02H
D: 3.TPCElite
HardSPL 3.29
Let me know if you need any more info..
Call T-Mobile Support
Same thing happened to me last night. I called them this morning and they fixed it in about 10 minutes.
ok cool, so I should just call them up and they should be able to tell me what to do? or do you know how?
thanks in advance,
-b3ck
There should be a cab file somewhere that sets it all up for you.
I called up T-Mobile and talked with one of their non-supported device technicians (they have an entire support dept. of these guys) and it was actually on their end, they had to allow the IMEI to use the Data plan, because basically the phone was like Hi let me use the Data on the Network and the network was like what's your name? and the phone was like I'm John Smith, and the network was like your not on the list sorry.
So.. yea I was talking with a very smart tech support lady @ T-Mobile, she even mentioned these forums, she said she recommends it to people that have devices that aren't supported by t-mobile she even wanted to know which ROM I flashed onto my Tilt =)
Anyways everything is good to go now, thanks everyone!

huh? I don't know what that means..
I have an issue. I just switched my entire plan over to the even more plus. On my old plan I had tzones and it works great for everything. Now I have the web2go. The problem is not getting the device to work on the internet2.voicestream.com, that works fine, but it is the battery drain. In a 4 hour period it will kill a full battery. When I remove the internet2 setting then the battery lasts all day. anyone else see this issue. BTW I'm using the JJblaster 23518 and radio 1.70.18.02
what do you all think, a bit odd for it to drain the battery that fast?
