my g1 is rooted with no service plan. i cant send mms. how do i send it? plz help!
when you say no service plan i assume you mean no data plan, and i assume this is on T-Mobile. There use to be a work around until T-Mobile plugged it up. So there is no current work around on this unless you get a data plan.

What do you mean "free"? It depends on your data plan...
so if i have free internet on my phone it would be free to use the 3g to run the internet w/o gettin any bills added on my phone. my bad for the dumb question im just curious cuz its my first time ever using this app.

Yes, if you have a unlimited data package, then there will be no additional charges. However, if you do not have one, you will exceed your cap quickly, and they will charge you accordingly.

Even with an unlimited data package, isn't there fine print somewhere that says there is a 5gb data transfer limit?

Unaware of such fine print, but if you do find it... can you let us know?
I just checked the fine print. The 5gb cap applies to roaming, air cards, and tethering. (like if you added a tethering option to your plan) Using wifi tether or USB tether should show up as normal data usage.

The only thing they can do because u signed for unlimited data is they could throttle you meaning they will slow your internet connection down but ive never herd sprint doing this however tmobile will if you go over 5g a month but they wont actually charge you extra

From my understanding (and no, i've never seen it in writing), most of the
carriers enforce a cap, somewhere between 5 and 10gb, depending. If you are
on an unlimited data plan, they can't charge you more, so they just throttle
your connection to limit your data for the rest of the billing cycle. I could be
wrong on this though, haven't even come close to capping.
As far as charges for tethering, if you asked your carrier, they'd be more than
happy to charge you the $30 tethering fee (or whatever it may be). My feeling
is that if you are already paying for unlimited data, and you aren't abusing the
service, it's not right for them to charge you extra for a feature your phone
should include.
The only company ive known to inforce throtlling is tmobile theyll send,out a text saying we are resticting your data conection through this billing cycle howver i hVe never had that on sprint and my brother has been fine on his dx on verizon and hes been using wireless tether for a couple of months now
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Don't worry about data caps on sprint. Sprint is the only provider that has truly unlimited data and won't charge you extra,throttle you, or drop you for using enormous amounts of data. The CEO of sprint proclaimed this about a year ago i believe
oh i forgot. Applications such as PDAnet allows you to tether your phone without letting the carrier know so they think its normal data usage. I doubt they will give you a call asking but if they do just tell them you browse the internet with your phone a lot. They can't prove it
If your ROOTED it is!!

Hey my brother uses this phone as a backup phone but when I insert my similar into I am unable login gmail to make this phone work. Tmobile says I need to be on a special data plan and I do have data plan for my HTC hd2.
My question is...if I flash to a different rom from stock ..will I be able to use this phone?

Your HD2 data plan is like for windows, the G1 needs the android one.
And no flashing another rom doenst work neither because is the unique IMEI number that they take in count, so in resume they will always knows that you have the G1
Maybe search for how to activate a g1 without a data plan. Might help. Just a blind shot though.

Hey guys so i just got the galaxy s ii and sold my captivate running cm7 to my roommate. We turned off mobile data and stuff i thought we were golden. But later that night he got a text saying he was auto put into a data plan. There was about 5 mins at the start i forgot to go to cm7 settings and turn mobile data off. I am going to call at&T and make up something to get when to take it off. So after will he be golden? Or is there no way around it.
Note* when he wants to use data he uses wifi . Otherwise it sent let him.
Thanks!!

At&t will recognize the captivate via the imei number. Afaik no getting around the data plan for smartphone requirement.
No way to spoof the imei?

There are ways but you won't find the answer on xda.
Sadly AT&T is greedy like that. I know for a fact Tmobile PR doesn't care. =/
So my wife and I have been using unlocked phones on our grandfathered AT&T medianet unlimited data plans for over two years now. About six months ago I bought her an Exhibit 4G and unlocked it to work on AT&T. Just recently she got the dreaded you need a data plan text message on her phone. So she got bumped to a 2GB data plan.
I'm not sure how AT&T caught on since it wasn't one of there phones and she doesn't really do much else besides check Facebook and text.
Anyone else using this on AT&T?
once you put a sim card into it, AT&T knows your using a phone on their network. so they wanted you to have a data plan, they sent the message to your number which is accociated with your sim card.

Did you install a custom ROM. If on stock then carrier IQ may have some hi g to do with that.

whats the closest resemblance to this phone on the verizon network?
Same thing happened to me...they put me on a 3GB plan automatically. Took them about 2 months to get me...
---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------
Just wondering...what kind of speeds you are getting on the AT&T network? I've played around with several APN settings I've found on here and none have improved my download speeds (always says 3G)...which are around 0.25 MBPS.
Spent some time on "chat" with ATT and am going ot try a new SIM card. Mine is an older one with 3G on it. I tried to get my plan changed (and I think this is the problem) to a LTE plan but the ATT rep couldn't get the "system" to accept the change for some reason.
I have a verizon note 3 sm-n900v that I want to use on AT&T. I have rooted it and accessed the service mode screen and enabled b4. I have set up the APN and I am able to send and receive texts and make and receive calls. My data works, but it is on H and H+. I can not get on LTE or send MMS messages....can someone please help me?!
I have read that AT&T runs on a different LTE band, so I am just checking to see if this is true and also ask that if I pay for a factory unlock if it will fix it so that it operates the way it is supposed to.
Thanks

Well Verizon is CDMA where att is GSM, totally different and not sure it is even possible.. Odd that you can even see it.. this is probably your issue. Only other provider I think you can fully work on is sprint (and other mini ones that are CDMA)

actually tmobile works fine on it. You can switch the APN to gsm and it works just fine. The verizon note 3 is the only one that came factory unlocked to run on any network...you just need to tweak the settings.

I know tmobile works fine as it is GSM, but never heard of Verizon or sprint working. Think last i seen those 2 didn't use a sim card like att which could lead to other issues as well
From my Fired-up Kitty
I meant to say att works fine on it aside from those two issues I can't figure out.

Is your main provider att or Verizon. If v then my guess might be that you don't have an att sim that they can validate for the lte etc.
