Prolly not a good topic to start here.I would assume you mean stealing data.that is illigal. So I don't think your going to get ANY help with this one buddy. Just pay for it like the rest of us.

Don't use your phone if you are concerned about Ma Bell knowing your usage. It is not going to happen.
but isn't rooting android illegal (okay so it isn't illegal and it was my friend who wanted to know this I told him its not possible but he won't agree I also yolks him it would be illegal anyways)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
There's nothing illegal about rooting or modifying your phone. Doing either of these does not make you benefit financially in any way. Trying to get a paid service, illegally for free is, well, illegal. I don't think your post has much of a life left on this forum. Just an fyi. good luck to ya though.

if jailbreaking isnt illegal, rooting is far from being illegal also. rooting only voids a phones warranty and voiding warranties isnt illegal
Google encourages rooting.

Unlock your phone then get a Verizon or Sprint plan. AT&T will have no idea how much data you're using.
Wait you mean I can go to verizon and use there data plan and still use att's network

No man. He means unlock your phone (search it) and then sign up for verizon or sprint and their unlimited data plans and no longer use at&t

No like completely take off the data plan.
For example I can't do this on my GS3 because ATT doesn't let me unless I switch my sim to a non smartphone

Most android, AT&T won't let you but if you swap phone, you don't have to tell them what phone you'll be using. Just tell them to disable it.

Get it removed from your plan and turn off celullar data. Just don't ever use an official update, it will re-activate the phone and AT&T will get a message saying you switched phones, happened when I put my sim in an iPhone a few years ago without thinking

if you have root, add this to your build.prop file(/system/build.prop/) then reboot for it to take effect. see if it helps you.

should you expect a message, probably, eventually, depending how much you tether. it took them a looooong time and lots of data before they stopped me. root has nothing to do with them stopping you from tethering, root just gives you "administrative" permission over your phone.

No offense or anything but a little research and you would see that the radios are completely incompatible for starters sprint and Verizon or CDMA based where as at&t and the rest of the post paid carriers are gsm based.

This is why everyone should always meet at a carrier store or call the carrier to make sure activation can happen when purchasing a used device. Good lesson for others to learn from if not familiar with dealing on CL. Hopefully she is getting back a little of what she deserves for swindling.
I've seen worse. But yes some people scamming or just plain stupid. Irks me.
No one will ever learn...there are zillion threads with these stories and we still get morons still doin it. Sheeez

To most people they think that they will go get a straight talk sim and it will work. This idiot puts up a fancy add that will help sell the phone. The way I look at it is that if there is not a full guide or documentation on xda its not possible! The question is are you ready for that "earlie" upgrade? lol!!

Hey guys. I'm currently rocking a nexus 5 32 GB. But I've been thinking about getting a note 3 for the expandable storage. 32 fills up pretty quick. But mainly I want to have the note 3 for an mp3 player/web browser. If I buy an att prepaid sim with say 2gb of data and I throw it in the note 3 or any phone really would it allow data to work? Could I text? I've never heard of anyone trying. If it comes down to it I'll put $20 on a card and try it myself, but I'd rather not before asking.
Thanks in advance. I appreciate it!

Unfortunately, I've tried this, and it's a no-go. If you try to use the prepaid SIM with the pay-as-you-use plan you will find that for smartphones there is no data connection available. It can only be used for text's and calls on ATT's network. It's ATT's nasty way or preventing people from doing exactly what we want to do.

If you could tell me what I need to do, I'd appreciate it. I've been stuck without data because I was unaware of this.
Settings/wireless and networks/more/mobile networks/access point names.
You will have to add/change the APN to match with the APN of the network you are trying to use. So if it is GoPhone, Google that specific APN.
