Bell? Taco Bell?
Galaxy S3 and Z both use the same SIM card size. Did you remember to use the SIM card tray on the Z? Also, what makes you think the Z IMEI number is not supported?

As far as the sim card it should defiantly fit? Just take the tray out and stick it in. I got mine a few days ago

I used a fingernail and pulled it out. This was also detailed on the stickers that covered the back panel, and in the quickstart guide in the phone box.
I kindly suggest you RTFM.

I am on the Bell network and it works perfectly but doesn't have LTE only HSPA+. When you figure out the SIM card insert issue,you have to manually put in the APN settings from Bell. Once that is done reboot the phone and there now you have a XZ working on Bell.

Sounds like a simple question - is there anyone who has first hand experience of whether an unlocked i9305 LTE GS3 will for certain work with Three (3) sim cards?
I never though it would be so difficult to find out - I had some problems with an i9305 that was unlocked and wouldn't take my Three (3) sim, however there were a few other issues with the internals of the phone so I had to return it.
I've searched a fair bit on google for an answer and can't find one person who is on Three (3) who has used their sim with an unlocked i9305!
Just check what bands they use, surely if the I9305 can use those frequencies you'll be fine?

Problem is he seems to have been doing that, and it's not fine. Makes sense to pose the question I think.
I used to have a Note 2 LTE N7105 bought from orange and I used to use 3 UK sim card on unlimited internet (£12.90/month). I unlocked it using the service menu.
I'm sure it will be the same with the S3 if you bought the S3 from a UK authorised dealer and not gray importers like mobicity and the others.

Just popped my 3 sim into my new i9305 - it works just fine.
Hi everyone, I'm new for this forum. I never used android devices before, now i wanna try this so i'm gonna buy a galaxy tab 8.9 i957 att from Ebay.
I'm currently using iphone 5 att, so is there any way to switch a simcard from an iphone and put it on galaxy tab and make phone calls, text and receive sms/mms? I plan to buy it online but unable to find anywhere to get a new one, so i tried on ebay and found one with moderate used for 160$, is it a good deal for this one? Before open this topic, i've done a lot of research but my question is still unclear, so anyone can help me out with it?
I've never used an iPhone, but a SIM card is a SIM card and should work in the tab. Not sure on the price I haven't looked at prices.
Edit, make sure the SIM card is the right size

It's a nano sim, slightly smaller than tab simcard, but i will take an adapter from ebay to convert the iphone simcard to fit with the tab, no problem, but my main question is will the tab will be working like the phone instead? Making call, send/receive sms/mms???

Not out of the box. And I've tried to figure out how with no success. And if it can work it would be thru Bluetooth, not the speaker.

ok, i understand. So i'm really want to have a combination device between tablet and cellphone, i sometimes use to make a phone call but not much, so do you have any recommendation? I'm quite impressed of samsung devices but it could be any brand, i don't mind.

I've seen that they said it could be calling but at least need a bluetooth or headset to talk normally, is it right? There are so many models of galaxy tab in us and i have no luck to find out which one will be a best tablet+phone. I don't want a galaxy note 2, is there any recommendation?

ROMS are not Provider specific, so if you own a Z then any Z FW will work.

Yes even with the locked bootloader. There are links at the top of that thread I linked that link to the necessary tools needed to do so. You just need to root, install custom recovery, and flash the firmware with the flash tool and flash accompanying ROM in recovery..
As long as the ROM you're trying to flash is based on and uses the stock kernel, it will work with a locked bootloader.

i feel you man, these phones aren't cheap... but, from what i've seen in the various threads around here, people say to use external memory to flash stuff.. but, that could be outdated information...
everything that says that is concerning older versions of recovery... so you could try it from internal memory... but to be on the safe side, i would get an sd card... luckily for me, i had a little 2gb card lying around, so maybe you can bum one off of someone so you don't have to go out and buy one right away.
fyi, even though you probably know this already... i would recommend not buying sd cards from a retail store... they're significantly cheaper online...

Hi everyone!
I just would like to ask the public does anyone know how or where from to get a sim tray replacement in the UK?
I just bought a 3g version with a cracked screen. I've already changed that, but I would need a sim tray as well.
Any advices or suggestions?

I suggest you contact ASUS, directly. It can't see it being a big issue to supply one to you.
I wouldn't see the case that even, but I heard you have to send the tablet to ASUS to get it back with the sim tray. So it seens like that way just a bit too much hassle and I thought someone knows a easier way.
Otherwise I've already tried to get contact with the ASUS and their customer service is rubbish! But thanks for the advice!
Anyone else with a different idea, please?

Geez your lucky I got the SIM tray from tbooth, they took out of their floor model for me at the cost of 5 dollar donation to beast cancer. But bell told me today that since I buy all my phones out right they would give me a 50 dollar discount on any phone I get from now on.
