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

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!!

Hello,
I got the Samsung Captivate phone from AT&T but I cannot get Skype on there, it is only available for Verizon android phones, but is there a way to get Skype on my AT&T phone nonetheless?
I think its only available on 2.2...so that might be your problem.

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.

My son currently uses my old Samsung Fascinate, just to play games on and watch youtube videos. It is not activated or anything he just uses it on our wifi, and everything works great. I was wondering if the same thing could be done with the original droid?
thanks
Yes

Yes. A bad ESN just means that it will only be refused by the cellular network it was made for. Since the phone won't be using a cellular network, you don't have to worry about the ESN.
