This isn't really an AHD question, as a (non-iPhone) GSM phone can be used with any plan from its carrier, but I'll give you a link you may find helpful.

I can use text and calls but I was looking in Google people saying that I have to put the correct apn to get data work but I don't know how to get it

I plan on buying a second hand G1 and rooting it and installing CyanogenMOD 4.0.1. I currently just have a HTC Juno (Shadow) with no data plan and I do not want to get one, is there a way I can disable data so I don't get charged? And do I have to change the APN to use MMS and or SMS with out a data plan? Thank you.
also, will T-mobile give me a unlock code if I didn't buy the G1 from them? (I am a subscriber for more than 90 days)
i have the same question.
thx 4 help.
Just disable the sync and your good to go. Also if u dont have data plan, they wont charge you because it will not work. Thats how Tmobile is anyways. FInally I dont think Tmobile will give you one, just go purchase off of the internet.

Ok, thanks. I didn't know if they would just start charging me per mb. And do you have to change the APN to get MMS with out data, cause I have unlimited messaging but I heard that MMS uses data on the G1?

Actually you have apps that go out and try to get updates and other info without you know, so just turning off sync won't work. There is an app on the market (can't remember the name) that stops all outgoing data.
Thx for the answers!
Could anyone tell us the name of this app?
If I remember right it's droid"something" or "something"droid, but of course without the "something"
And you will be charged if you don't have a data plan if you don't stop the data from going out.
here is the app!

its called " droid wall"
Yep that's it. I knew it was droid somthing.
First, T-mobile WILL give you an unlock code for a secondhand G1 if you're not delinquent and have been a customer for 90+ days. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. You have that "feature" every 90 days.
Second, T-mobile tracks G1s (and I'm sure MyTouch3Gs) by IMEI on their network, so they DO KNOW what phone you have. I think you can circumvent the need to buy a data plan, but more than likely you'll receive a "upgrade" message every time your phone tries to download some data. Could just be annoying, but if you're not using data, you might be able to get away with it.
That being said, why buy a smartphone if you're not going to use it as one? I can promise, you won't enjoy your phone to the fullest without data. Sorry.
Thank you everyone for your help.
I know it seems dumb to have a smart phone w/o data, but I don't really wanna pay t-mobile for it. And I can just use wi-fi most of the time.

Actually, I think that data is a waste of money. I survive and enjoy my android just fine without it. Most places that people visit and commute to everyday has access to WiFi(school,home,work,cafe,etc). There is no need to pay the double bill, unless the said places doesnt have wifi.
do any of you guys know of prl hack or something similar that woud let me roam on verizon with 3g speed? thanks a lot

Sprint doesn't have 3G where I live, so I found a work around. You will need a stock htc dialer. Press ##775# and you will need to enter your MSL which you can get from Sprint (Edit: Or you can download msl reader from market). I don't remember the exact options in the menu, but it's not difficult to sort through. There are several PRLs you can use from Verison, but some will show your data as roaming. I use this one:
http://www.the-answerman.com/sidlist/prl/40060.prl
I've had it for three months now, and no data roaming. I get great reception (even in elevators) and voices come through clear.
Edit: This is under the assumption you have Sprint service.
When I upgraded to the Evo in December, and I would use this, it would show on the bill as data roaming.

Here are the rest of the Verizon PRLs that I was able to find. There are around 7 or 8 in the zip file. Use whichever one works best for where you are...
I take no credit for making any of these modified PRL files. All credit goes to techknowfile from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696073
Hope this helps...

I was wondering if there was a way to use Market Access to get apps from the Verizon and Sprint Android Markets. I have a Captivate now and if it is possible, what steps should I take to get it. Thanks in advance.

+1 mee too. I hear Sprint has amazing NFL apps.
the Sprint Apps detect whether you are on their network or not.
The sim numeric for Verizon is 310012. Just change to this, and open the market. Remember to backup your current one, so you can put it back to normal when you're done.

Say we forgot to backup the current one, what is AT&T's numeric? I'm assuming it is the same for everyone's phone, so if someone could share that, I'd appreciate. If it isn't the case that AT&T uses a numeric that is the same for all devices, is the only solution to reset phone? What exactly does it mean to have my phone emulating a different numeric in the long run?
EDIT: I'll leave that question there for anyone else who ends up having it, but realized restarting phone (as long as you DON'T select "Emulate on boot") will reset the value for you. Anyways, I am curious to know if AT&T's numeric is the same for all phones (I don't see why it wouldn't be).
I use 310004 for verizon market so there most be more numbers per carrier .

Did you flash the newest ROM and are you a tmo custy or an at&t custy? BTW... if you read through the entire 3.2 post you'd have found the solution to your problems was setting the APN under Wireless and Networks.

Did that get fixed? I heard people were still having apn issues even after manually setting them. Guess I'm off to wade through that thread!
I am with T-Mobile and I did this last night using the 3.2 post nothing more and the phone was already root with the 2.2.2 upate.
I looked over the APN post but doesnt really explain lot or give details. I know T-Mobile has 3 APN's that they use so maybe I should call them and get the information for all 3 ? I am assuming one is for MMS and the other two are phone/Data ?
Can you text with this device? I have never been able to... Not without some kind of program like Gvoice or something.

Hello all,
I tried searching but couldn't find some of the info I needed on this and was hoping to get some answers here.
I have a Droid 4, I have it rooted and am running Liquid Smooth on it. So far so good, works like a charm.
I go to Brazil often and needed a phone there, so I was just going to bring my droid and insert a chip. The actual radio / phone will work, but it would not send any text messages to save its life. It wasn't a 3G / account with internet service so I couldn't even check that piece of it unfortunately.
But I was wondering if there is anything specific I need to do in order to get it to work outside the country that I'm missing. Or if it is the lack of data package, and why would calls work but not SMS?
And and all help is appreciated.
Anyone?
what do you mean insert a chip ? another sim card or so
Yep, another Sim card from another country.

k that's good
to get it to work in brazil you have to change some build.prob entries to get it work there
the telephone is not a global phone it ist locked by verizon but outside US you can use GSM Network and to get work you have to change some things
use a build.prob editor you finde some in the store
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0
ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=1
ro.telephony.default_network=3
ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc=0
ro.mot.phonemode.vzw4gphone=0
persist.radio.lte.mm.disable=1
ro.mot.lte_on_cdma=0
persist.radio.ap.phonetype=1
but it could be thet if you go back to verizon that you have to change it again

I used my Droid 4 in Germany with no problem this spring. Calls, SMS, data - everything worked. I did have a data package with the SIM, so IDK if that is necessary to send SMS. You probably have to check with the carrier....
When I logged into the network the first time the carrier automatically send me some packages to install the necessary APNs and settings via SMS and I was good to go. when I returned, I just popped in the Verizon SIM and the phone automatically reverted to the Verizon APN.
I am on rooted stock.
