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.

It will work (roaming) but it probably will not work with a japanese sim card

Like zombrex said.
It will work, but I had problems calling and receiving calls from japanese cell phones. Apart from that everything worked for me.

3rd confirmation. I could use roaming in Japan. The European model is identical to the international model.
Just got back from holidaying in Japan. I can confirm that the Galaxy was fine there although I didnt make any calls (expensive!), mostly used data services to retrieve and send emails using UK sim card. Used wi-fi points and skype/tango where possible.
Thank you guys for the info, I'm glad my beloved galaxy will work in
Japan.
Are prepaid data or/and voice sim cards available in .jp to avoid
horrendous roaming charges?
What is the wifi hotspot situation in hotels and cities in general? Are
they mostly free?
I think there are no prepaid cards in japan like you know them.
Can't remember using free wifi hotspots except in the hotel. But once there was a free hotspot in a club. That was the only one i found^^
Hi !
I have the same kind of question.
I will go in Japan for 1 year, and as I saw that they sell Galaxy S in Japan, I was wondering if I could use my Galaxy S with a Japanese Sim card.
Do I need a Japanese rom ? Or any configuration ?
Thanks
Up !
No one can help me ?
If your phone is unlocked you'll be able to use a japanese sim
it wordks,japan user the different sim card size(smaller),you can buy the sim card cover to fix it.
Thank you DrFredPhD and eim886 !
The Rom doesn't matter ?

I looked for a sim card cover, but I only found a sim card adapter for micro-sim.
Where could I find a sim card adapter to use a japanese sim card on my phone ?
EDIT :
I found there is only 3 sizes for sim card : standard, mini-sim, and micro-sim.
But which one is used in Japan ?
hey trynium, did you find an answer to your question?
I have a North American version (Canada Bell) i9000 and really don't want to buy a new phone when I have a perfectly good one right here. Would the sim adapter work? Which network did you use and how did you go about it?
I was wondering if the North American version phone can run on Japan's network... if anybody out there could help, it'd be much appreciated

I went in Japan later than I expected.
I took a prepaid phone, so I could not really test with my SGS (no internet connection, lot of restrictions... for prepaid phone).
But the good point was that the sim card was a standard one. So sim adapter seems useless in this case.
The harder in Japan, is to buy a sim card without a phone. From what I know, there is not much problem than that !
By the way, sorry for the (very) late answer...
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!!
hey guys I'm thinking of getting a galaxy tab off contract, mostly to use it on wifi but I would like the 3g version just in case
my question is, is the sim card in the t-mobile version the same as phones? As in can I pop out my phone's sim pop it in to the tab and start browsing off my phone's data plan?
and would you recommend the tab over all over tablets considering the prices off contract?
thank you in advance

No. You can't just swap cards. Your imei will redirect you to Tmobile website.
YOu could search for "efs folder". That might help.
Well I tried my $30/mo voice/data prepaid sim in my new streak and the web browser only brings be back to a my-tmobile page. (SMS does work)
Any way I can get this working?
Call TMobile and get your plan sorted out

Anyone have a suggestion that is actually helpful and not quite so gratuitous? Would be greatly appreciated! Not sure if this can be possible, but would like to be able to switch my sim from the HD2 to the Streak and back again as needed.
The fellow at the TMobile store said it needs to be a SIM card turned on as "Broadband", which appears to be true since the same thing happened to me when I put my postpaid SIM in from my cell phone. Ended up getting a $25/month prepaid broadband plan at the store until I find another way. I was able to get an unlock code from Dell, I'll try my wife's Straight-Talk (AT&T) unlimited SIM when I get a chance.
For me it was as easy as inserting my Simple Mobile $60 prepaid sim card from my phone into my dell streak while it was on (i did not shut off and reboot i just inserted while it was on and it said new sim found rebooting please wait).As soon as it rebooted 3G/4G work perfect FYI Simple Mobile uses T-mobiles Network I pay $60 for unlimited talk/txt and 2gb of data..no contract no BS,luv it..

Right, that's the most exasperating thing- I can use my StraightTalk unlimited SIM just fine. (AT&T network on that SIM) But it won't allow a TMobile SIM unless it's a "broadband" SIM. TMobile jumping through hoops to enforce silly rules...

FYI - Walmart's Family Talk SIM works fine in this, but the $30 sim does not. Of course, the family talk is priced higher and has lousy data. I believe they block tablets from the $30 plan, most likely via the IMEI.
I also assume the AT&T sim you're using isn't getting you 3G or 4G since it's a different radio.
Hi, I got a Samsung Galaxy SIII that one of my relatives had and I put in my sim, everything was working... except for 4G LTE, I can get HSPA+ but not LTE. I Put in another sim card and LTE showed up fine? Is it a problem with my sim card? Is there a solution besides from going to an AT&T store and requesting another one?
-Thanks in Advance
You need to exchange you current sim card for a 4G sim card from your provider. That's all it is, funny l did that just a few days ago
