[Q] Possible to use AT&T Tablet Data Only Sim on Captivate?

I plan on visiting an AT&T store this week to see if I can get one of the data-only tablet sims for use with my captivate. Am I barking up the wrong tree here? These would be the type of sims used in things like the Galaxy Tab, etc. I could get by using VOIP if I could save a couple bucks a month. $25 for 2gb should do me just fine. I'm just not sure if they'd let me do it.

success! the kind folks at AT&T had no qualms with giving me the 2GB data plan for my captivate. they had to get a legit tablet serial number from the back room to activate the Sim, but all went very smoothly. only problem I see now is that the mobile internet service is horrifically slow. is it possible that i'm not configured to male use of the full 3g capacity of this thing? speedtests are coming in at about 30kbps.
edit: nevermind. 3g kicked in after a few minutes.
here's my configuration for getting the $25 2gb tablet plan working on my unlocked captivate.

Is there a way we can do this without going to a at&t store? My town doesn't have one. Just buy a tablet sim online directly from AT&T?

I'm not sure, but I tend to doubt it. The guy at the AT&T store had to activate the Sim using a serial number he obtained from an unopened tablet box in the back room (very awesome of him to do so). Normally I think you can activate Sims directly from your device, but in this case it would read the model of your phone and fail to activate. I'm still half expecting to hear from AT&T in the near future telling me my device is ineligible for this type of service, but so far so good.

True, crazy thing is i just got your message, I really need to get with the program.

AT&T users of Galaxy Note - I was able to remedy the tablet issue!!!

All,
After reading posts and complaints about the Galaxy Note being flagged as a tablet in AT&T's systems, I set out on a mission to fix this erroneous error. I contacted the President of AT&T and heard back from the Vice President. After several phone conversations later, the Director of Marketing was able to identify the error and fix this issue resulting in Note IMEI's to appear as smartphones, not tablets.
In short, buy the Note, put your SIM in, and your good to go. No issues with accusatory tablet texts. Here is the message I received (names redacted)
**********
I just spoke with our supply chain team and we figured out the issue – a digit was transposed when we loaded in a set of IMEI TAC ranges to our systems in October and this resulted in classifying a subset of Samsung Galaxy Note products erroneously. Your IMEI range was not impacted and your product will work without issue and without concern of losing your unlimited smartphone data plan experience.
To be clear, you have not actually received any “alerts” from AT&T about data plan eligibility because you have not moved your SIM card into the Samsung Galaxy Note product as of yet? You can do so without issue at this time.
***********
So, I'm not one to take credit, but I sure did take this issue to the top of AT&T and it all appears to be well.
Great news for us Note users in the US. AT&T know knows it's not a tablet.
Enjoy the best device ever!
Eric
EDIT: It seems my solution didn't necessarily remedy all Galaxy Notes. That said, you may still encounter issues. If you do, I'd recommend contacting AT&T for help. I seem to be good for now, but still feel I will get flagged at some point. Unfortunate, really, but that's par for the course given the unique nature of this device. AT&T can't seem to classify it as a tablet or smartphone, when it's clearly a smartphone with a slightly bigger screen.

Thank you! Is there a reference number or of the sort which we can reference to just in case the 'text of horror' or any issues occur by any chance?

One point of caution: he said "my IMEI range has not been affected." I have no idea if that means my Note, which was from Germany, is any different than a Polish one or otherwise.
The best thing to do is if you get a text from AT&T about a tablet plan, contact the highest executive you can and be very professional (it's easy to find emails). This issue can be fixed as evidenced by my post.
Good luck!
Out of respect for the individuals who helped me, I'd rather not post their information all over the web. Just google for AT&T executive email addresses if you run into trouble and go from there. Remember, if you do contact someone, please be professional in your communications. *****ing will get you nowhere.

Great. I will do so! how do you check the nationality of your GN? I just ordered it from Amazon, so I am not sure where it will be from.

FWIW, mine from Amazon was German. Outside of that, they are sourced from all over, so I can't help beyond that.

Just to be clear what happens if I call AT&T up and have them put my IMIE number in. Will it now be accepted by AT&T and will I then have the proper APN sent to my phone automatically without having to put it in manually? Has anyone done this now? Thanks for getting this straightened out it sure takes a lot of pressure off everyone.

You don't need to call AT&T, just put your sim card in your Note. No matter what you do, I don't think you can make the network automatically provision your international Note with the correct APN settings, you'll have to do it manually. It's very easy to do, though.
Excellent news that they have fixed the issue with the IMEI # error in their database!

Thanks Eric!
Now has anyone that got blocked before put their SIM back in and using it? I am still a little worried because the email didn't say that they changed anything, only that yours was ok. I will wait a couple days until i get my TMo SIM in the mail; then if they shut me off again at least I can go to TMo edge. Right now I'm using my N1 and tethering it, but the idea of the Note is so I only have to carry one device.

Soooo...this is for all of us? If so, you're a hero man, seriously.

That's awesome Eric. I have a Note on the way that I was resigned to returning because of this issue. It's a Christmas miracle!
Eric - what APN are you using? Phone, PTA or wap. Cingular?

Thanks Eric.
Another question. I am using an older, I'm sure 3G SIM. I've seen references to a 4G SIM. Will substituting a 4G SIM for the 3G SIM -- I'm already on a metered $G Smartphone plan -- make any difference re obtaining HSPA+ speeds?

Awesome
That's great news. It's such great news I decided to order the phone from Amazon. And it's arriving tomorrow!
Earlier in the day I went to a local AT&T store here in NYC and had a long talk with a sales rep. He told me there was no reason why it should not work and that he would exchange my iPhones sim for the right size. I explained to him all the issues and he said if it's not a tablet there should be no problem. I'm glad the higher ups at AT&T agreed with him.

Glad to hear you had your issue taken care of. Hopefully you didn't screw all the note medianet users over in the process...

First of all, if you are using the Note on that plan, you are out of compliance.
Second of all, if you are spending $700 on a device, get a piggy bank and save $15 more each month to finance your data plan.
Third of all, that's a pretty jerky comment. I didn't do all of this as a self-serving prophecy. I merely wanted AT&T to recognize it as a smartphone, not a tablet. For everyone, not just me. Nobody cares that you and others are skirting policy by sneaking a data-heavy phone onto an old medianet plan.
You are working the system and frankly I hope you get caught.

Eric for the past 7 years I've used unlocked unbranded phones on at&t. When I insert my at&t SIM into my unlocked unbranded phone OLAM's only option for data was the 10/15$ medianet plan. How am I skirting the system if AT&T's online account manager is telling me to select medianet for data?
Should I call at&t up and tell them I want to pay more money for data? Tell me how to proceed?

I don't care how you proceed. All I know is my Note isn't viewed as a tablet any longer.

[Q] Can the Vivid be used on Straight Talk?

Hi all. A friend of mine was looking to get an Android on Straight Talk. Before picking up one of the abominable offerings, I noticed that Straight Talk takes unlocked AT&T and T-Mo phones. I wanted to double check if anyone could confirm that it works. Can anyone fill me in?

it doesnt have to be unlocked... i havent tried the vivid, but i did sell my inspire to a co-worker and he had no issues using it on straight talk.

Tell him to order the sim for att...from st8talk... and it will work no problem

Straight Talk is actually an MNVO (mobile network virtual operator) that runs on the AT&T towers, so any AT&T device is compatible on a basic level. You will need to change the apn for data access. I think it is att.mnvo or something similar. I have read that your data speeds will likely be throttled to a lower speed. If data speed is important, you may also want to check to see if you will have access to LTE and/or HSPA+ networks.

Thanks for the EXCELLENT reply. That was extremely helpful. I do have a couple followup questions.
Straight Talk is accepting T-Mo phones as well. Would those also run off the AT&T network still?
Also, she alleges that she doesn't have AT&T service where she lives. She is currently using a Wal-Mart purchased Straight Talk flip phone. Can someone explain that???

Yes, so they would have to be network unlocked. Also, since T-MO and AT&T have some differences in frequency bands and data transmission protocols for high speed, most T-MO phones won't be able to access high speed data.

I have read that AT&T and T-MO have roaming agreements for voice (not sure about data) and that these agreements only apply for monthly plans, not pay as you go. It could be that the monthly plan MNVO users also have the benefit of the roaming? If you are curious, ask her to check her network settings and it should indicate if she is connected to at&t/smart talk or if it is t-mo. Since it is covered under agreement, I don't know if it shows up as a roaming status on the main screen. Assuming she is correct about the AT&T thing to begin with...

Right now, she's just using an old dumb phone her parents picked up from Walmart, so information is limited at best. Doubly so since I'm in Tennessee and she's in Alabama.

Model
Do you have the model and brand of the phone she is using?
If it is AT&T Sim from Straight Talk will operate on ATT towers. If it is TMO sim will operate on T-Mobile towers.
If her area is not covered by T-MO or ATT, then she may be using a Straight Talk CDMA phone which could run on another provider like Verizon.
I have the Vivid with Sraight Talk and no problems. I do have an issue sending MMS messages, which is an issue with my phone (I switched the SIM to a Galaxy and to HTC Inspire and I was able to send MMS).
Does anybody know why? (I'm using the APN recommended by Straight Talk).

To clarify a few things: I too have Straight Talk on my brothers Vivid with. Att SIM. I do NOT suggest getting a Tmo SIM. Reception is awfull if you aren't in a large city. Also you can NOT roam the ATT towers with the Tmo SIM. Data Speeds are NOT throttled at all and I regularly hit 700-1000KB dl or 6-8megs however you calculate. Straight Talk will throttle you if you repeatedly use over 2GB of data a month buy for 45$ a month you can't lose. Hope this helps

Vivid and MMS?
Nate,
Are you able to send MMS messages with your Vivid?
I'm able to connect to Internet and make calls. I configured the APN correctly and I still can't send MMS. If I switch my SIM to any other phone, I'm able to send MMS. Any idea on this?
Thanks!!
PS. And yes, $45 per month is awesome!

Hi gifr, yes mms works perfectly. It may be an issue with your Rom, your Texting App, or an apn setting. That's the only thing I think it could be.

I have been thinking of doing this with NET10 which it is my understanding is the same thing as Straight Talk and works with both AT&T and T-Mobile towers.
Is the data really unlimited or are you slowed down after a certain amount?
Does Visual Voicemail work?
Can specified only for AT&T and T-Mobile apps be installed and used?

Visual voice mail doesn't work on my vivid but everything else does.

Smartphone plans that work with N7 3g

We have a thread going about what doesn't work with the N7 3g. How about keeping a list of what actually does work? I won't make a list of data only plans because that is a given. I am talking about smartphone plans with minutes and sms as well as data. I will edit the list and try to make myself useful. I am hoping that a few of the prepaid plans will work on the t-mobile/at&t networks despite the blocking when purchased from the carrier.

If this thread is meant to be USA specific, please indicate so in the title.
If not I will just hazard a guess: The N7 should work on *all* CDN smartphone plans because AFAIK none of the carriers here do punitive device screening. The only caveat is you would have to put in the smartphone APN if the tablet APN is the default. But if anyone has a counterexample please do make it known. (Of course the voice side won't work unless/until devs figure out how.)

I read over the T&C and it seems pretty good.
Just no P2P Downloading, Running a Server, "automatic data feeds"
Oh and no Tethering (stated in T&C)
It says they reserve the right to Throttle or Terminate your service if you break any of the T&C rules.
But nothing about a Data Cap.
Don't have good Coverage though (at least the coverage map they have sucks)

I will keep a list for any country if it is helpful. Thanks for the input thus far.

AT&T SIM with iPhone data plan works
I put a SIM from an iPhone with the iPhone unlimited data plan into my N7 3G and it's working perfectly. I did have to create a new APN with the old wap.cingular APN. That is likely required for other AT&T SIMs with non-LTE data plans. If the SIM is setup with an LTE data plan it should work with the Broadband APN that comes predefined.
Someone trying an AT&T SIM should create an APN with these settings. I believe the username and password entries are case sensitive, so make sure you enter them as all caps.

T-Mobile
So I just bought a Nexus 7 32GB with HSPA+ and came to know that T-Mobile smartphone plans don't work on this device.
WTF?
Is there something I need to do get it to work? Like Root it?
If it won't work even with root enabled then I think this device is going to have to go back to Google.

What I've gathered from other threads is that T-Mobile have blocked the IMIE numbers of all the nexus 3g devices, effectively forcing people to use tablet only plans.
Others will probably confirm, but truth be told, probably best to use another carrier.

Does anyone know of a plan that is pre paid and offers the pay per day option as T mobiles? There plan was basically $3 a day that you used it. I don't use the data connection that much but want the option when I need it. Most of the time I can tether to my phone but there are those bad battery days when it would be nice to their out the $3 instead of not having service.

The ATT Mobile Data Share plan works if you add as a tablet. Its only $10 to add N7 3G to your share plan,

Just to clarify, did you have to cut down the Straight Talk Sim to Micro size? They only seem to offer the T-Mobile Sim in standard Sim card size.

A dumb question: what is a straight talk plan? Unlimited minutes one with or without data?

Straight Talk enabled LTE for AT&T sims

Can anyone confirm this?
This is huge if it is true.
UPDATE:
What we know so far...
1. Yes, LTE does work on the ATT straight talk.
2. You need the newer sim card, which was rolled out Aug of 2013.
3. You need to be on the tfdata APN.
I will post more info as it pours in.
SO far confirmed working in the Chicago area.

I got one of the att sim cards a month ago.
Can anyone confirm if it works on those sim cards?

I read on phandroid that you just need to enter some new apn settings with the current SIM cards.

Anybody have the new APN? I have a old att Sim that I got cut down like 7 months ago. I can test the LTE cause I'm in Chicago. I think that's an att LTE area

Here is the new apn
Name: Straight Talk
APN: tfdata or tfdata 1
Port: 80
MMSC: http://mms-tf.net
MMS Proxy: mms3.tracfone.com
MMS Port: 80
For me it works with tfdata 1, with horrible ping and throttled. Back to old for me, I'm 1 hr NW of chicago let us know if you get it working.

Tfdata 1 does give me a data connection. Only H+ though. Went into phone info it was on LTE/GSM switched to lte only and no data at all. I'm at work but live closer to the city. Will see what's up when I get home.

Well, according to this article, it might not be necessary to buy a new sim:

I don't know what this author is talking about, as I went over to that forum and there is no indication as to when that person bought their sim card. Indications seem to point to that it has to be a fairly new sim card, but that is not definitive yet. Pretty much a moot point for me anyway as AT&T LTE isn't available too many places, and in addition the Nexus 4 has crippled LTE (missing components), so why bother.

I thought the nexus 4 didn't support AT&T lte bands? I purchased a straight talk sim less than a week ago, have those apn settings with tfdata (no1after), and am getting hspa+ speeds. And I'll be honest, it's fast as ****. I'm regularly getting 10mbps or more so absolutely no complaints here.

Here's speed test results with a fresh one from 5 minutes ago added...this is in Poughkeepsie ny where were blanketed by AT&T lte, but I'm definitely seeing it on my device.

So after reading this thread I did some research, and it turns out Poughkeepsie ny is a band 4 lte market for AT&T. I'd love to test this out to see if the straight talk sim supports lte. What settings would I have to change on the device to enable lte at this point? It's stock/unroofed.

Straigh Talk Lte Iphone 5
Im currently located in Tampa. I live 5 blocks from Raymond James Stadium. I activated my Iphone 5 on straight talk Saturday morning.( I did use a sim cutter to make my sim nano size). I had purchased my sim from Walmart.com last month when the Att sims were made available. Due to the fact that tmobile service here, does not work well. On Sunday morning I noticed the LTE bar was on. By Sunday afternoon it was off as the area was flooded with people going to the Bucs game. As of this morning I have had full time LTE everywhere I have traveled in Tampa. Using the sim swap method I used the following APN settings. Which I found on a video on Youtube: tried to post but cannot post urls yet newbie! added it as txt.

Man that's crazy fast for a phone. One suggestion I recommend is easy on the speed test, straight talk is very anal about data usage. If your speeds suddenly drop to a few kb/s then you got throttled lol
