Am I screwed?

I just got a galaxy tab Sprint off ebay and it's still activated. 3g works. I don't think its stolen because i got the box complete with all the contents. my concern is i wont be able to activate this thing when it eventually turns off.
anyone have a similar experience?

You can still use it as a wifi only tab.

I know, I would eventually like to add it to my Sprint plan.

Then what is the problem ? Here in europe you can use any phone you want with the plan you subscribe.

that it may be linked to another account??

Why don't you just contact the guy that sold it to you?

Sorry but are you guys on drugs or something?
All you do is put another sim card in, Or am I mistaken and Sprint do not use sim cards or something?

It's a cdma version, so no sim card. But i think you can still use it with another plan. Try to contact sprint.

[Q] Can I use D4 on gsm network?

I use unlocked D3 but this device is 512MB ram also there is no official ICS(no flash reader, no camcorder). If I can use D4 on gsm network, I'll upgrade!
from my DROID3 using xda app-developers app

Yes you can, but currently only with the leaked ICS firmwares. The stock gingerbread firmware does not allow it. Supposedly the official ICS firmware is due in Q3 2012
I made a thread here with instructions on how to do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766479

Will this work if the droid 4 has a bad ESN?

Should be, the esn is usually used to activate cdma, for gsm you only have to activate a sim card and put it in...

Just take one w/o contract - and that should be enough. No unlock codes was required for me.

Almost the answer I was looking for.
So could someone confirm this:
Bad esn doesn't affect calling via a SIMcard?
I know it's a very old thread, but worth trying..

ESN's and IMEI numbers are used for GSM phones(AT&T, T-Mobile and now Verizon also). MEID numbers are used with CDMA phones(Verizon,Sprint) and just because the phone has ics or jb doesn't mean it's unlocked. You still have to install a different sim card and put in an unlock code which you can get from Verizon if you are with them or pay for it online somewhere. Once the new sim card is installed into phone and the unlock code is entered, the phone will state that your device has been unlocked. Unlocking phones is mainly for overseas use outside of the US. I have much experience with this as I served in the U.S. military for 10 years and I took my old phone over with me. Upon arrival in the new country, you set up cell service with a GSM provider, install their sim card and viola! Hope I could clear this up for you guys! Not trying to sound mean, just informative.
EDIT: Bad ESN's or MEID's can be a bad thing but some can be changed or flashed over with new one's from third party service providers like PagePlus Cellular, etc.

[Q] Bionic on H20 wireless

Wife and I just bought a Motorola droid bionic, Been reading that it is possible to put on the h20 wireless network. I have been messing with the phone all day. I finally got pass the setup at the start, First I was getting "this sim is from an unknown source" error, I bypassed that now I am trying to determine if I am able to take it to h20 wireless or not. I don't want to forced to pay the $80 a month w/verizon.
Phone is Verizon Droid Bionic,
I have the h20 sim, but i get the above error.
I have found a way to bypass the setup as mentioned above, I forgot to mention i have a "no Sim" error now" Would this be because of H20?
Trying to solve this A.S.A.P my pageplus plan expires 2mrw, then i will have no phone.
Any ideas?:angel:

The process in its self is not that difficult but different bionics seem to have different results.

I'm on page 12, I am very confused on where to even start for 1. I know its not as simple as popping the sim card in and it working. Good thing is i have both an h20 wireless sim and at&t sim so i can go to either. But i prefer h20 so i can return the AT&T phone.
Would it be too much to ask for some step by step help with this process? My wife wants to return this phone and get another one, But were both disabled and can't afford to put any more $ out so i've been reading 4 the last 2hours.
Thanks in advance.

In my opinion not enough is known yet for the bionic to be a reliable gsm phone. When I had mine on AT&T it got a weak signal. My friend is on AT&T and a lot of times he would have a good signal and I wouldn't have one at all, and like I said earlier different bionics seem to have different results. I read in that forum that on person had like 1 out of 3 that the mod worked on. If I were you I would sell the bionics and buy at&t phones. But that's only my opinion.

Update
Ok, so I was playing with the sim card.1. this is my first phone ever with a needed sim card. So i was playing with it thinking i might have put it in backwards or something.
so my guess i did, no i am no longer getting a grey ANT with red circle, i am getting no signal and when i attempt to make call i get the following error " outgoing calls are restricted by FDN".. In my mind this is progress to me.
But what is my next step?:good:

Thinking about it

Mine too. Has an exclamation mark instead of data amount. But im on the mobile share data plan that might be it...

The data count is for those of us with limited data. Set a data limit under setting - data usage and it'll show up on circles.

I had the same problem. I remember seeing someone else in the same boat in another thread (maybe another forum?) weeks ago. His problem was fixed when he replaced the sim card he got with an lte one. I thought that applied to me as well, but that wasn't the case cause I got lte service when I traveled to neighboring cities.
This morning I heard that at&t finally rolled out lte to my city. I turned my data on to check and sure enough I got lte service from my home. I also checked the circles widget and data magically appeared on it. Now it's on there even when data's off. I guess you just have to be in an lte area.

I never said you were dense, but your OP had little to no details, so if you're feeling guilty about "being dense", maybe you should look at that

I'm using my phone with Straight Talk and we have no LTE at all, anywhere, and my data widget has always worked.
Sent from my A200 using xda premium

Mine does that periodically on/around my contract refresh every month. Dial #data*# to check your data usage, and soon enough it should go away. It also did it to me when I was switching from ICS to JB back to ICS. Should fix itself.

I have lte coverage where I'm at. And if I hear one more person tell me to *data# I'm gonna lose it lol. That's what each person at Att on the phone and in store said. I'm aware of that. I want to see it in my widget not wait for a damn text. I could just go to the att app also.

FYI it has never worked on me on T-Mobile but was working when I was on AT&T. Is Straight Talk using AT&T's network?

That depends if you're using a TMobile/Straight Talk sim, or an AT&T/Straight Talk sim. Straight talk uses both networks for their sim program, and uses Verizon with their cdma phones.

Got hands on nexus 6 att

Hey guys i had to gwt my hands onecone. Im a verizon customer and i couldnt wait tovget lucky for an unlocked one . Is it possible for me to get this thing to work . i dont have a nano yet. Trying to get a friend of mine from a verizon store to help me out there. If thays the case, will the nano sim card work for me or no ? Im on wifi and i love this thing !!!!!

You need to unlock the phone. It is SIM-locked to AT&T

To get it unlocked through at&t I need an account number and all that. I'm a Verizon customer so I don't have that information. I just bought the phone retail at an att. I heard you can unlock through 3rd party. Are there any recommended sites?

If you're a Vzw customer, get a Vzw nano Sim.

I'm battling the same thing. I'm a Verizon customer and bought the phone outright through AT&T on a friends account. Went to cellunlocker.net and waiting for them to go through another database for an unlock code

Just got word from art that December 4 they will loosen the requirements to getting it unlocked for free. Which may help us
