Or maybe because when you unlocked your phone from AT$T and put in your T-mobile sim, you can't access AT$T servers anymore ? AT$T has a lot of great services, but servicing T-Mobile users is not one of them.

download and use aWizard. search for aWizard here.
If you have AT&T now,you do not need to unlock it to work on Cingular. They are the same company! If it does not work,you can call Cingular's tech department to get it working on the system.

You know this for a fact? or will they try to get him to convert to Cingular Orange?
Personally I will never buy a locked phone again or will get it unlocked to avoid this hassle.

Sorry bud, I work in Tech and there is no way we will wave our magic wand to make it work.
The phone has to be unlocked first.
AT&T is dead, they are not the same company and our phones with their old sims will not work unless unlocked.
Use lokiwiz and unlock it, worked fine on my 2 8125's then you can keep your Blue plan.
Sorry about that....I misunderstood what he was asking.

Im in the process of acquiring the tilt and having it unlocked from one of those ebay and store site services ranging from $20-40 if a phone call from AT&T wont work.
Will it work on Tmobile USA? Any real tilt tmobile owners?
I know i will have to reconfigure the GPRS but does anyone have the settings? Any Tmobile tilt owner with a working internet/sms/phone feature?
have you not looked at any threads here before posting one?
to make it simple, call AT&T to unlock it or buy a code and i'm using a tilt on t-mobile with their t-zones plan. no, i'm not gonna post the settings. you gotta do your own work sometimes, but search for tzones proxy settings and you'll find it here or howardforums.com
thanks
All i really needed the most was a real tilt on tmobile owner who is using it without any problems. Thanks for the confirmation. ill search for the settings.
It isn't too hard to unlock to T-mobile and reconfigure Data settings... I think if you google it, you'll even find the data settings you need for T-mo on "unlocked" windows mobile devices.
I used some random ebay unlocker and the response was pretty fast also.

Im using a tilt that I purchased on ebay and had it unlocked also through ebay. Im really happy with it. I only have the basic t-zones plan and I can check email (pop3) and surf the web (opera mini). Internet explorer doesnt work, but Opera is all I really need.

if ur still using the 29.99 data plan, ur getting ripped off, cuz they recently changed the price of their 29.99 data plan to 19.99. same thing, just $10 cheaper, definately call in and change it.
btw, it works for me on the 5.99 tzones plan

Hi, can you help me to unlocked my htc 8925 tilt? Thaaaaannnnnnkkk you so much!
tilt unlocked
bought the service from ebay (from a canadian seller for $14). Received the code within 24 hours.
Definitely able to. I chose unlock my phone through Tupisdin and a donation to this site (thanks for all the help here).
I tried calling international AT&T etc etc. I didn't want to use my friends number and account info. It was just a little too much of a hassle.
So in three days I've had the SIM Unlock, the CID Unlock, and flashed the HTC shipped ROM. I like the phone much better now. =)
BTW, if you flash the HTC ROM, you won't have to manually configure your data settings for T-Mobile USA. It knows them, already.
Now... just need to find a good way to remove the "AT&T" logo on the faceplate.
I need to CID unlock mine
is it a lot faster now?

you can get a new faceplate and use the "case tool" to swap faceplates.
i got the tool and faceplate on ebay for like 10 dollars total.

I have read somewhere that a cube of sugar can remove this logo from the face plate. I have not tried it myself but will be worth a shot.

why would you pay to unlock the phone? There's posts here that explain how to do it yourself, you just gotta use that search option and sift through the posts. DO YOUR RESEARCH PEOPLE!!! Coulda saved you a few bucks....
I got my Tilt, unlocked it myself, got it running to tmo now, working perfectly except that i keep gettin booted off BB Connect everytime I use a program that accesses data

It does take an awful lot of reading though, particularly if (like me) you miss a step and spend 2 hours using mtty to boot the phone trying to figure out what you did. But it is all there, it works, and makes a great phone super. On t-mobile, Duttys 6.1 at least auto-configured the network.
Free good, but it can be painful
I am going to try the sugar cube thing. I just noticed the ATT was painted on not etched.
Cool

No way to get 3g on Att if it has the T-mobile 3g radio...
You can use it on Att easily (even without rooting) by just signing up for a plan and popping in a sim card into the Nexus... but you will only get Edge data + your voice/text.
I would REALLY advise against switching since you wont be able to get 3g and Att just capped their data plans at 2gb/mo
cool, thanks for the info, how about vodafone sim card? i have a cousin that wants to use it with vodafone but dont know if it will work.
Thanks.

Hello Everyone,
I've done a bit of searching but still can't find out if i'm having an issue or if this is the way it's suppose to work. This is my first experience with an Unlocked phone as well as Android. So here's the story.
I rooted my phone and then used the Unlock Pro to unlock it. I ordered an AT&T Sim card from Ebay, which arrived last week. I put the Sim card in my phone and it boots up, everything seems fine except that it says "No Service". I contacted AT&T and they confirmed that the Sim is active and it should be working.
To make sure that my phone was unlocked. I used the program to lock it again "with the rogers SIM in it" and then put in the AT&T sim and I was asked for an Unlock Code. So I took that to mean that it was properly unlocked. So I unlocked it again, and then put the Sim in but still "No Service".
I tried to put in the APN settings that I found on a site, but not sure if they are correct. and now i'm at a loss. I had purchased this for an upcoming trip to the states, but don't want to put any money on the account if it's not going to work.
I guess my first question is this "Should a new sim work out of the box?" i.e. should I be able to put in and get service even though I would be roaming in Canada?? Or do I have to be in the states first before it will work and allow me to roam in canada?
Any help you guys can provide or explaination on how it "should" work, would be great.
Well....does att provide service in canada? I don't know if rogers is part of att or not. If they don't I would assume the sim would not work because of no att towers?
Thanks for getting back to me. Rogers is not part of AT&T but they use the same GSM Frequency. So anyone travelling up here on AT&T would use the rogers towers (I believe).
That's why I'm thinking I need to be in the states before the SIM will work.
I would call att back and ask them if the case. Makes sense to me, but I'm nobody.
actually Rogers is owned by att. it is AT&T rogers wireless~!
but that does not mean that it should work.
APN settings are for data, you should still be able to make calls...
LOLOL cute
Ya i think I will do that tonight. When I was talking to them last time, the woman didn't really understand why i couldn't connect. but then again i don't think she really understood that I was in canada. LOL
Canada has the internet? Lol

Wow I'm still running with my 9800 Baud modem. Saving up for a 14.4.
Bing bong biiiiiiiing.....ahhhh the soothing sounds of dialup....those were the days.
I just tried the SIM again, seeing if maybe after a week it might just work now but ya no luck. you never know it could happen. LOLOL I'm wondering if I need to get a roaming package added to the Go Phone plan that i'm on before it will work. Gonna call customer support and find out
Since this is my first time with anything like this I'm not really sure about anything LOL
Okay so I just called at&t customer support. Didn't start off so well. First the guy told me that don't offer any service nor can any AT&T customer roam in canada. then he placed me on hold when I asked him to confirm, and he came back saying that AT&T doesn't off roaming in canada on their pay as you go phones. So i guess I can believe that one
Looks like i'll have to put some money on the sim and then hope it works when I go down there, Thanks everyone for all your help and suggestions.
Hi guys.
I went through a lot of web sites past couple of months and now I've decided to ask you by myself. I got a present from my GF. Sam Gal S5.
She bought it on a craiglist. She tried it with her AT&T SIM card and it worked. Anyway.. she gave it to me. SIM card denied. I've paid $30 to get a code to unlocked.. Great. Buy what was my surprise. After I got in and made a couple of phone calls to providers I find out that the phone is blacklisted. I tried to get ATT sim card also but doesnt work.
So I started to look for an advice... Ive done root, changed ROM etc. But now... i dont know where else to look.
Obviously it was stolen. But I feel sorry for her and she for me...
Is that just a piece of garbage or is there ANY way to fix it?
I dont even know if im able to ask here.
Any advice or opinions helps.
Thank you
Mike
I think you're kinda screwed...Craigslists scams happen all the time..best bet if your gonna buy a phone on there is to both meet at the AT&T store and go through the whole transfer process.

The official reply from carriers is that once a phone is blacklisted it is impossible to undo. Whether or not it's a limitation of the technology (one-way trip) or if it's just company policy, the output is the same. You and your girlfriend have learned an expensive lesson. You can use it as a wi-fi-only device or a media player, but once a phone is blacklisted it will never be able to connect to a cellular network again.
The reason the phone worked with your girlfriend's SIM card was because the real owner of the phone hadn't called to report the phone stolen yet.

Mike, your situation stinks so bad. I was in a similar spot with a T-Mobile HTC M8, which stopped working after I got it off craigslist and then subsequent IMEI checks shows that it is blocked/blacklisted from T-Mobile's network due to a balance owing from the original purchaser. However, since the phone was not reported stolen, the IMEI is not actually blacklisted/blocked from all carriers, but only T-Mobile. So I bought the SIM unlock code for a few bucks online so that I could unlock the phone for other carrier use. I have tested and verified that my phone works on AT&T, even though it is blocked on T-Mobile. So...you might consider changing your carrier or selling it to someone who can use it on another carrier (with full disclosure to that buyer, of course).
