Yesterday I rebooted my phone and somehow it connected to 3G.
I could only access my gmail account and nothing else works
Checked my balance and they haven't charged me anything for it.
Is it normal that Prepaid T-MO can access to gmail for free?

I can no longer activate my phone and sync to the google servers over 3g. My APN is for sidekick prepaid. I can only do it over wifi. Any ideas?

There was a thread about this ealier today, apparently T-mobile disbaled the sidekick plan for phones other than the sidekick about 36 hours ago, sorry.
Thank you for the info. Idk if I should hold out for a solution. Hopefully I can transfer my number if I get a new sim...
I put my daughters SIM into my G1 and she is getting full data access. Her current service is for a samsung Gravity with unlimited SMS/MMS. My guess is that the MMS service uses the same APN so she is authorized to talk data for that reason. Should I worry about some weird data charges from T-Mobile if she uses this phone for the next week?

Somehow I had data usage and it activated for me too, but the data use did show up on my bill (it was too minute to charge for)
if you want to disable 3g/edge/grps, download apndroid from the market (idk how it will affect the MMS though)
Hello all,
a while back i had a tilt and found a program to turn off internet data services on the phone so i could still use it as a phone, sms, mms device, and not get charged for internet usage on the phone.
i'm now looking at the tilt2 from at&t and wondering if the same is available. i don't want to pay for internet service on the phone through att. i just want to use the phone for phone, sms, and mms. if i want to use the internet, i'll just turn on the wifi on the phone.
is the program still out there to turn off the att internet data services?
thanks
Call AT&T and turn data service off
It is easier than that. Let me tell you what I did. When my AT&T account, like most accounts, was created it was set up with the data server turned on in a pay -as-you-use-it mode. I never got charge for the data service because I never used it. I called AT&T and had them explicitly turn off all data services. So if I try to use the data service I now get a no network error. (I use WIFI for data service.) Now I can use any smartphone I want that uses AT&T frequencies without incurring any data charges. I did this for all our lines. I have the Tilt 2 and love it. No extra data charges on my bill. My phone picture on AT&T's web page automatically changed to the Tilt 2, so AT&T obviously knows I have one. My son got an iPhone. The same for him for his AT&T webpage phone picture.
So the title says it all. I have searched for the MMS & internet settings, and I got everything working just fine except the internet. While I am on T-Mobile towers, everything works great! But when I roam onto a ATT tower, internet stops working. But on the other hand, MMS still seems to work. So I can send and receive picture messages, but have no internet access, wtf? I can be using google maps to track me with GPS but the second I roam over to an ATT tower I get a connection error. This is very frustrating. I am using their new prepaid $50 unlimited everything plan and so far I like it, but my phone is ticking me off. I already have checked the settings like epc.tmobile.com and I have tried internet2.blah blah, etc. So anyone have the correct settings to make this phone work on ATT towers?
hi.
Recently i bought Galaxy Note white from Amazon. It is originally from HongKong.
and I didnt rooting. I bought a ATT Go Phone sim card and activated($50, everything unlimited),now it is working for calling and txting but web and internet is not work
even H+ is shown on top of my screen.
when I try to connect internet, it says " Media Net. To use data service, you must have a data package. go att.com/mygophone"
I already tried vary of APN setting but still not work.
Here is my question.
1) Do I have to buy another sim card? because mine isnt read 3G on sim card.
2) I have a dumphone. Should I put in my sim card to dumphone and call ATT my phone doesnt work for internet?
any other advise will be very welcome.. plz help me..
Apparently, ATT knew you have a smartphone...so your unlimited data plans are block.
I have the same problem...you can check if your dump phone can use for web.
If can't ..call the CSR with your dump phone...see they can fix it. Then try to insert the SIM again when it's fix.
If it's don't work...your have to purchase a data plan.... I got the 250 minutes for $25 and 500MB data plan for $25. And the 500MB data plan will roll over if you enrolled Auto payment every month.
Good luck
