Tablet ONLY.
It does do GSM data, but you have to put in a SIM card that is marked for data only.

How to use a regular tmobile sim card?

hi everybody
does anybody no how i can use my samsung vibriant tmobile sim card with my dell streak 7 been trying for a couple of days no go!!!
thanx!
Not Android Development
Please Post in the Correct Forums Thanks
Moving to General
Did you ever figure this out? I'm trying to do this. If I unlock it can I use the SIM from my Vibrant?
Even if you could, you won't get data on it. I tried the smartphone data plan on my dell streak 7 and it logged on to the internet but the only page i could get was an error page telling me i had the wrong data plan.
I would love to get the smartphone data plan on it. It includes roaming. It sucks having a dell streak to use the internet just to end up tethering with my hd2 because it's a worthless brick when i travel.
Yeah I had to convert my plan
Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using XDA Premium App
DITTO. using same sim card as my sidekick, but it had to be converted to the web connect plan. Don't see what the complaining is, for me it's actually cheaper.

Dell Streak 7 Tablet PC and Custom roms

Hello all. I just purchased this today.
http://www.staples.com/Dell-Streak-7-Tablet/product_927827
This is not a phone but a Wifi only version of the Streak 7.
Will I be able to flash the roms provided here to this unit or do I have to have the phone version?

You should have no issues. Actually, the 4G version of the S7 does not have phone capabilities either - just data service via the T-Mobile network.

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.

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

Does the iphone make an ad hoc wifi hotspot? If so, use the trick from this thread:

AT&T sim card

I have been trying to get a prepaid AT&T sim working on my Dell Streak 7.
It will only give me the "Aircard" price, $50 for 3G.
I want to test it with the $14.99 250mb plan.
Has anyone got the Streak to work on the non "aircard" plan?
AT&T said Dell had AT&T pull all the IMEI codes for the Streak when Dell stopped making them.
I got it from WalMart and have had a T-Mobile card working in it before, but T-Mobile does not cover a place I go sometimes.
