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.
Hi,
I have looked around for answers for days for what I am trying to do, I currently live in the UK and I have an S G Sprint Tab 7", The trouble is the language is in US and it keeps trying to use network, everything is American and the updates do not work.
I have rooted the tab and removed all of the sprint software, and bootup shutdown animations etc.. but I still can't get it right.
What I was hoping to do was download a UK language pack and install this but I cannot find one anywhere.
My second option is to wipe the tab and install software off a standard WIFI model, if this is possible?
Does any body know if its possible to do this and where to get the files to do so?
Thanks for your help
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.
Hi All,
Recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S2 from Gumtree online. It was only working on o2 network so got at unblocked from a guy at a market stall so that it works on all network sims. It was working fine for about a week but then randomly came up with a message saying "emergency calls only" and I coulnt make or recieve calls or texts even if i changed the sim to o2. The internet was still functioning correctly however.
Called network provider and have been told that there is a bar on it by an insurance company. Tried to get back to the seller but have not been able to contact him. Have reported him but I would just like to know is there any way to unblock this phone at all? Dont want to lose out on all the money spent on it. would it be worth downloading any unblocking applications if the phone has a bar on it?
Please any ideas, comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Apologies for the long message
Thanks
this section is for i9000 Galaxy S, not Galaxy S II, pay more attention please because here maybe we can't help you
Unlock the phone and flash to a generic firmware.
And please post in the correct sections to get help better.
So my question in in the title. Will I need to activate this phone with a Verizon sim to make it work in Canada or I can just import one and put in my SIM that is compatible with the phone and it will work?
I'm sorry for the noobiness of this post but I haven't imported a phone before and I have read a lot of hate regarding Verizon so I just want to confirm before I buy this phone. Also I want to avoid getting a 6" phone if I can....
Thanks!
Hey, I do not think you need to activate it. Provided, you pay full off-contract price. I have imported one to India. and am using it from yesterday. Out of the box. and Obviously some Verizon apps wont work.
Hey yes you will need to activate, I'm in the UK and did it with no issues, no need for the prepay verizon sim just chose to do it over wifi and all done. The only thing that come up every time you restart the phone is "not a verizon sim" but doesnt affect anything , just dissmiss it.
I dont think you need activate it. I am using it in bell and dont even need to enter the apn info
Cool. So I guess I will import it. Just need to find the right price on eBay now...
