[Q] ATT Gtab. Flash and SIM question

So, I got ATT Galaxy Tab, and loved it.. except the fact that it doesnt support phone calls and text messeges! and yes, I am about to flash it! Thanks to this forum, I got all the details how to do it.. but I just am not sure about what kind of SIM card I should get.
I am in Campus, where wifi is EVERYWHERE... so probably dont even need a data plan. And as a college student, 100 dollar per month is way too much.
So how should I get a sim card? and what kind of plan should it have? Can I just have minimum phone/texting plan? or do i have to get contracted data plan for smart phone?
And if I flash it, will I be able to use other it at different country? say korea? and europe?
thank you so much for everything!!

Use My Smartphone Sim with Streak 7 3G?

Hey i remember asking this question a while back about my galaxy Tab but i guess i'm hoping theres been some developments since then. I'm trying to use the Sim card from my smartphone with my streak 7 but it seems tmobile has put some kind of weird block on using phone sim cards with the Tabs, probably to force you to have to buy a separate plan for the Tablets all together. I'm wondering if a workaround has been developed for this and if theres is a way to use my smartphone Sim in a tmobile tablet. thanks for the help

dont know if this helps.
I tried the tmobile sim from my touchpro2 with $10 web2go in tmobile's dell streak 7. I got the 4G connection.

thatd be cool but ive got the $30 smartphone plan so im trying to figure out a way to trick the phone into thinking its not a tmobile sim or get rid of that connection to tmobile all together.

Have you tried changing your APN to internet2.voicestream.com?

just tried it, still giving me this tmobile login when i use the browser

Have you asked T-Mobile to 'fix your connection'? I've done the same with my carrier and switch between my phone and tablet to use the data all the time, but then again my streak 7 is carrier unlocked and so is my phone.

i think this is specific to tmobile tablets in the states, and im not sure there is an unlocked tablet that is tmobile 4g compatible, which is what im after, i wanted to get the lg G tablet but it looks like you have to either use a sim for a phone or tablet, not interchangeable

Smartphone SIM in I957

Hey everyone, just had a quick question. If I were to purchase an I957 off contract, would I be able to use my SIM card from my unlimited dataplan in my tablet to browse the internet on 3G+/LTE ? I believe I have a standard size sim card in my Atrix.
Thanks!

It definitely has to be a LTE sim or it wont work.
I havent tested the tab with a phone LTE sim though so i cant talk about that.

[Q] Will AT&T data (only) plan work with N7000?

As strange as it may sound I want to use a Galaxy Note as an internet only device.
Is there a way that I can use one of the AT&T data only options (Data Connect Plan) on this device?
I currently have the AT&T version of the Galaxy Note. AT&T has confirmed to me that there is no way to have a data only plan for it. I simply to not want to dump $40 dollars a month on a phone service I will not use just to get the right to pay them $30 for data.
So, I am trying to explore if the international version is the answer.
What is important to me is the size and features of the Galaxy Note.
What is not important to me is 4g or phone service.
Any help or definitive answer would be appreciated.

I would imagine it should. ATT won't have a record of your IMEI number so they really don't know what the device is. Other people have been using the non- smartphone data plan on ATT, but the occasionally get booted up to the smartphone plan with so much data usage. Just tell them you have a 3g tablet you want to hook up. I'd buy a new sim card just to make sure you don't have issues with your old account. Not definitive, but just the fact that people are using international notes on dumbphone data says a lot.

AT&T and T Mobile
Hi, I have a unlocked N7000 that I picked up in India earlier this year. I live in the UK and works very well over her on Vodafone. I was in the US last week. I tried AT&T and was told by the techie that it will not work on the 4G network. Then went to T Mobile where I was told it would work only on 2G - Landed up buying a SIM card from them to see that my pre-paid balance dropped drastically and they were very unhelpful when I went back to them - they guy in the store told me that he can not access my use. I did not make any international calls on it at all. I landed up buying a SIMPLE Mobile sim card and it worked well between 3G and 2G. It even worked when I was at Hoover Dam. The Samsung website does give all the platforms it works on and I cant see why it would should not work on AT&T.
Also read the customer reviews of the Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 16GB Unlocked Android Smartphone - Dark Blue on the Amazon US website. One of the users has written up on it. As I am a new user I am not able to put the link on this reply.
Hope it's helpful. Good Luck.

Thanks for the input so far, but...
Well, what I am looking for is the "data only" type of service. This is for USB (Mobile) Modem, tablets, iPad's, etc. AT&T callis it data connect. I currently have the pre-paid version of it for for a 7in. tablet. And it (the service) work just perfect on that device.
I have read lots of posts talking about data, but when you focus in it normally is the other way around, a phone service option where they can't get the data to work correctly.
Again, all I want is data, I don't want phone service. If anyone has done this with their Note, I would appreciate a heads up on how it worked out.

I'm currently using my Note with my ATT ipad sim. Been using that sim in my mifi, a couple of laptops with 3G, an iphone and now my note. Been using it that way since the 3G Ipad first came out 3 years ago. I believe that all the data sims use the same apn. Just enter broadband as the APN. I have seen speeds from 1.9Mbps to 8.2Mbps, usually around 4 until lately...been getting 6.5. I consistently get 1Mbps up. The connection is has been very stable, Skype voice has been working very well.
Your data sim and note will work without modification, just enter the APN. In my case, I made an adapter since the ipad is a micro sim, the store bought adapter I had was too thick for the note. Be very careful when using micro sims, it can be a PTA to get them out. For removal I usually slide plastic or cardboard between the sim and the contact pins so the adapter does not get caught on the pins and then work the sim out with an exacto blade.
If you want ipad service, just go into an ATT and tell them you lost your ipad sim and you left your ipad at home. Who remembers your their data phone number? They will sell you a replacement. Then just barrow someone's 3g ipad, insert your sim, go into settings and create your account with your credit card #. Remove your sim and your done. The other person can put their sim, sign in and that's it. Once a month you get an email saying ATT billed your account and it shows up on your statement.
edit
I just looked at ATT's site, guess it does not matter anymore, they made Data cost the same across the board. Does not matter if it's pre paid, post paid or ipad, it's all the same now.

Just the news I was looking for, THANKS!
Great news. Thanks for taking the time to share that with me.
For any future readers, just to confirm:
A DATA ONLY plan with a 3G sim from AT&T worked fine in the gt-n7000, international version of the galaxy note.​
If anyone has information to the contrary please feel free to update this thread.

[Q] [q] cheapest carrier on at&t? Prepaid?

Hi, I am thinking of getting the Galaxy Note GT-n7000 international version.
I would like to use the carrier AT&T.
Could someone please, in an organized manner, tell me what I have to do to get my phone to work on the AT&T carrier with data?
I read previous threads and it was all over the place...people talking about APN and etc.
I am a complete Android newbie. I have never owned an Android device in MY LIFE.
So could someone tell me the steps I need to take? and what an APN is?
I am currently using the iPhone 4 with an AT&T sim card on gophone (myprepaidrefill.com) for $25.
I can't get any data with this so I just use WI-FI for data. It is unlimited messaging.
Also, should I get the note after the Note 2 launches to get it at a lower price (or will the price even drop?)?
I am on short of money for a unlocked phone so I am thinking of getting the original Note.

No one.. Really? please help me

Www.straighttalksim.com
I've been using straight talk's att sim for almost a year now and it has been incredible. $45/month for unlimited talk and text and 2 gb data on att's 4G network. Just buy the sim and pop it into any gsm phone and you're good to go. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to help you. I've got an n7000 on straight Talk and it's great
Apple innovates and Samsung copies, huh? Tell that to my galaxy note
