Let me get this straight. Must you use a t-mobile sim card and have t-mobile service for this to work?

Or, use HTC connection manager and it'll detect the tmobile sim and change all of the connection settings automatically...

I want to buy my cousin a G1 and send it to Sweden, will he be able to use DATA? Or will it just be the phone and sms?
Thanks in advance.

Yes since it's a quad-band GSM and dual band, WCDMA band I (Europe/Asia) & band IV (T-Mobile US).
You just have to be sure that the phone is unlocked and your cousin knows the local access point (APN) so he could enter it.

Yes you can add APN and delete existing APN on the phone.
I can confirm it works great on Telia in Sweden
activation?
How about activation? I saw lots of post claiming that you need to use a t-mobile SIM first to "activate" the phone to be able to get access the android os, settings etc?
Does it work with Android Market and all with Telia?
Nothing to worry about activation.
Just unlock , you will be able to use it without any problem.

Everything works except for MMS which i haven't gotten to work yet.
Read the attached document.
It helps you activate your T-Mobile G1. Have added settings with PICS.

Nice advertisement. Of course you could just ask T-Mobile for the unlock code... which is free.
Activation problem
Hi i bought this phone on ebay and im having problems activating it
the phone is unlocked but when i stick the vodafone sim(Ireland) into the phone i cant
activate it .
I've tried using a t moblile sim card(USA) but there are no network coverage in Ireland .
I will try to use a T mobile sim card from the Uk but im really worried at this stage
Does anybody have any suggestions ?
what activation do you mean ? Does the phone ask you for google account userid and pass ?
exactly , but i cant log in to my google account because the vodafone apn settings wont work on my phone
you have to insert the settings from your provider. if you have vodafone and it doesnt work, try again I had to try 3-4 times to find exactly the correct settings (port,servers, a.o.). Im sure it will work with the correct settings (assuming that you have an google account).
I will try but i cant get the correct settings for this phone since vodafone doesnt support G1
Did u get it working on a diferent network ?
no problem if you dont have 3g ! I had only gprs / edge when I did activation and it worked here in Switzerland...
I have did it for Boxed Packed tmobile into airtel india.
You Definately Require Sim Unlocked code from
http://Unlock-TMobileG1.com the same site i got the Unlock code @ $23
They have also Provided me the Full Manual to add You Network APN Setting
MNC / MCC Code then used airtel SIm got that E icon on top with Signal Bar used Gmail A/c User name and password and did it.
No he doesnt need ! his problem is not the unlock code, his phone is unlocked as he wrote above !
He just has to find the correct settings for the APN !
AlrightThanks for helping
ill post back hereif i have success
quick question...
I am interested in this...
http://www.puremobile.com/HTC/HTC-G1-Dream-White-Carrier-GSM-Phone/
It says unlocked so according to the steps to unlock...
http://www.modmygphone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3201
Do I still need a data plan? I presume I dont need to buy an unlock pin either? Has anyone bought an unlocked G1 and can confirm this?
All i would have to do then is set up the APN?
thanks
When you setup the APN you are setting it up for the carriers internet. Yes you need a data plan. unless you have cupcake then you can just just the wireless. because you can skip the first setup and setup your wireless first to activate your google account. but without a data plan the G1 is pointless. it is connected to your Gmail account.

can you elaborate? My brother has an iphone with data plan, so could I just use his SIM for the initial setup then put my sim back in? Thanks.

Should work
i have had my G1 unlocked, and tried using Vodafone and 3G UK sims in it, but i get a 'No Service' message on the home screen.
is it only going to work with T-mobile?
sorry if this is a faq, but i looked in the informative thread, and didnt find an answer...
edit: i am trying to use it with Talkmobile (which uses the Vodafone network)
Yes it can be done. You prolly need to go and change your apn settings or browse for networks and choose your network.

i tried this, but i get a message that says 'Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network'. it works fine with t-mobile though. i got unlocked over the net, is this any way to make sure it is definitely unlocked? i am quite sure it is though.
As long as your able to put your sim card in and it don't give you an error message than it is unlocked.

im still getting this message though:
'Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network'
i have tried adding the apn settings, but still no network.
it only works with tmobile. i am close to selling this phone as i cant use my normal sim in it. if anyone has got past this hurdle, please tell me how.
bump (getting desperate here )
I'm on O2 pay and go in the UK, never had any problems. It didn't require APNs but when I did put them in I got full 3G. That seems very weird. I get home from holiday (yes, in my hotel room ) in a few days I will test my vodaphone SIM. Could you post the APN? (for a pay and go SIM).
yes apparently my phone can connect to other carriers service now. is this normal? i went settings, wireless controls, mobile networks, network opp, and at&t was there and it connected to it.... will t mobile bill me for doing that? or is it just an advantage of root?

All it means that you have correct APNs to connect to different networks (opposed to inputting those yourself. If you want to run Att sim - you need to get your phone unlocked, root does not do it. Not sure about roaming on their network, Tmo might not like it too much.
yes idk what my phone did i just didnt know if this was normal or not...but it did connect to at&t's servcice when t mobile had none. but t mo would most likely charge me for doing that correct?

Yeah you were pretty much roaming. To truly get an AT&T SIM card working you need to unlock your phone. Great thing is T-Mobile does it for free if you live in the US!

T-Mobile does not charge "Roaming" fees on their plans unless you are on a grandfathered plan that allows only 'regional calling' and are outside that market.
If you see AT&T on your phone and are a T-Mobile subscriber you are roaming on an AT&T tower in an area that T-Mobile does not service. There is NOT a charge for doing so.
Keep in mind that if you have service from T-Mobile and roam more then 50% of the time for three months plus you run the risk of them terminating your account. (no charge to you).
For the last weeks.. I have been trying to get this phone working with T-Mobile..I had unlock the sim card and now running badboyz 4.3 rom. 1.3
After unlocking the sim card and setting up the apn, selected T-Mobile from the available networks and it will connect. But when I go to work, I will lose signal every few block, and need to search for available network again and wait to select t mobile again.
I had try to use the t mobile sim card on my old phone and everything will works fine with no signal lost.
Can anyone please HELP!... I been searching and looking for an answer for more than 2 weeks..but no resolve.....
Thanks

This is probably because T-mob covers only particular places the frequencies this phone uses http://theunlockr.com/2013/07/05/htc-one-sprint-specs/ vs t-mob https://t-mobile.jive-mobile.com/#jive-document?content=/api/core/v2/documents/4988

Is there any solution for this problem ?
Is there anything I can do to fix this problem ? (different rom or radio...etc..) Or I have to give up the phone... Cause it is too much headache to "searching for network" all the time and miss all the call with no service on the phone without knowing..
Thanks

well, I am not an expert on the tmobiles network, but going by what lazybozz, said, I seem to remember tmobile using different bands than the other carriers, so what you may be experiencing, is the phone being in the vicinity of multiple towers, but not all of them are within the band that the phone supports. So its like the phone doesnt even see those towers. On a side note, this issue caused alot of chaos for those who unlocked iphones about 3 years ago, they could use EDGE on tmobiles network but not 3G, so i assume this is a similar situation. So long story short, yeah you probably cant fix the problem, unless you get a quad band phone. I could be wrong, but it does sound like a logical reason for the issue you are having.
as elvisypi said above, Its the freq that T-mobile operates on in that area. If your getting T-mobile at all in the states then you have already flashed a radio. However flashing any other radio is not going to give you the freq that tmobile uses, Its not a software limitation its a physical hardware limitation.
Thanks for your reply, do you know any app out there that monitor and alarm you when the network or signal is lost ? That works with 4.3 ?That way at least you know the phone is offline ... some of the apps I tried is anything at all ...
Thanks
Have you tried an app like tasker? Its essentially an automation app. It isnt jist for your use. Its for many different functions. Jist look on the app store for tasker. That might help
