[Q] HELP !!! Unlocked Galaxy S GT-I9000M - Data Connection Not working

Hi
If anyone can help me out i'm having a little bit of an issue. I just unlocked my Galaxy S phone with one of your guides on this website, but now i face the issue of not be able to connect to my Data. I'm with Rogers just unlocked the phone from Bell, and having a real hard time figuring out how to get it to work.
Now i can make calls and SMS and such but i cannot use my Data Plan ?
Anyone
Thank you in advance.
You need to enter the APN information for Rogers. I don't know it, sorry, however it should be easy to come by.
How would i go about changing the APN ?
Sorry real newb to all this
Hey Ben

[Q] Possible to use Samsung Vibrant on AT&T *without* data plan?

Hello XDA! After numerous searches and lots of contacting my local psychics, I've still been unable to find the answer to life's #1 question:
If I buy and unlock a T-Mobile/Samsung Vibrant, I know I can use it on AT&T. However, if AT&T has IMEIs on file for the device, it will be detected and upgraded to a data plan (thanks AT&T). Since the Vibrant is part of the GS line, does anyone know if the Vibrant will be detected as a smartphone?
Thanks in advance for any help!
EDIT: and this thread was no help and in the wrong place.
A wee bit late...
I'm a wee bit late, but if anyone wants to know:
I've had my Vibrant for a bit now, and so far, no upgrade. I'll keep this thread updated if I do get upgraded, though.
Dd you just put the at&t sim card in the unlock vibrant? Or do I have to disable the data connection to prevent at&t to detect the device? And does MMS works without data plan on vibrant? Thanks in Advance.
Sorry, but I don't use MMS at all. I have data turned off both at the phone and at AT&T, but if I understand correctly MMS should work and data should not get you detected (other than using excess data).
Samsung Vibrant on AT&T phone only plan
I have a Vibrant I use on AT&T with plain phone service only & enjoy the Android world in Wi-Fi areas. I have "Mobile Networks - data enabled" turned off in setting so it does not use any of AT&T precious data. I am not sure if this is in stock phone program or not, I have custom ROM installed. Every time I update my phone with a new ROM I make sure I do not have the SIM card in until I have the data turned off because the ridiculous fee for pay by use. Anyway I logged onto AT&T and set my phone to a dumb phone on their list of phones, waited a few days, and called AT&T. All they could quote to me on the Vibrant phone with their SIM card in was it was a "non AT&T branded phone". I got data removed no problem but did require a phone call - unable to do online. This has worked well.

[Q] Want to get a Tab but confused about a bunch of things

Hi,
I realize that some of these questions have been asked before but after some reading I've come to find that there have been recent developments not documented on the main info sources.
I want to get a Tmobile Tab to be used on Tmo as a phone. I currently have an Android data plan. Is tmobile still blocking voice tabs? And is possible to get both voice and 3G, yet? What are my options here?
What if I decided to use it solely for VOIP connectivity? Am I going to have issues here or has this been sorted out? This is a valid option for me. So if this is the best option out there please feel free to say so.
BUMP and update.
I bit the bullet and bought a tab. The build quality is incredible.
I got it off craigslist so it was already rooted. I put my phone's sim card in there and I get edge. Is there any way to get it to 3G? Tmobile sim in tmobile tab.

No tablet plan / Bell Blocking Voice via IMEI?

Hi there. I've searched around and couldn't find an answer, so if this is already posted please point me in that direction.
I'm about to purchase an unlocked Galaxy Tab originally from the Rogers network off of a friend. I'm with Bell. I'm one of the lucky few that have the unlimited data plan originally offered with the Palm Pre, that also works with Android.
My question is if Bell will realize that I don't have a tablet plan when I do the steps in order to make calls/sms working and block my device or change my plan. Does anyone have a voice plan that they've been able to use with Bell on the Galaxy Tab without them noticing? This is more of a precautionary for me, because I'd really like to keep my data plan and would be quite upset if Bell were to change it.
My reasoning for getting a Rogers Tab unlocked is my assumption that Bell won't have the IMEI for a device they don't sell, so it may be safer for me. Thoughts?
i would like to know as well. im in the proccess of doing same

I use my Galaxy Tab as my primary / only device, which includes phone calls on Bell Mobility. I used to have Blackberry on a voice and data plan, and when I got the Tab and realized I wanted nothing else / rooted / flashed a useful ROM that supports voice, all I did was plug the new SIM into the Tab.
I haven't had any problems or changes made by Bell. I doubt they can see my device, or care, as I have called for misc reasons from the device. I simply never told them of the device change.
Now, my plan prior to the device change supported voice and data. So if your current plan does that I think you'll be ok.

[Q] Much searching, still uncertain: TMO T-849 Tab and Phone Calls

I've done a lot of searching, but am still lost.
I've got a rooted Vibrant, so I understand most of this, but not all.
My father has the T-849 and a basic flip dumbphone. He wants to use his tab as a phone.
I see different methods of getting the tab to work as a phone. What is the most current/easiest method?
Will he need an android 3G phone sim/plan to make calls? Our can he just use his Tab's sim or flip phone's sim?
