TMO Galaxy Tab + 200MB free plan? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just hung up the phone with T-Mobile after they told me that SGH-T849 is not eligible for the free 200MB mobile internet plan they have. Has anyone successfully activated and been using the plan?
Thanks.

Free plan? Got any links?

Just go tmobile.com or go to store and ask for it. You have to buy a new sim though.

[Q] Tether i9305 Three-UK without Charge

Hello experts...
Can anyone confirm before I attempt to tether...
Can I tether my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9305 on Three-UK network with unlimited download to my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and my Laptop without incurring Tethering charges,,, Using Wifi Connection to both devices.
Appreciate any advice.
AJW
Yes and no. Tethering is allowed only on The One Plan, so if that's your plan than yes

Thanks for the reply... The plan is called Unlimited Internet 1000. Does that one qualify?

I'll repeat, "The One Plan" ONLY!
Your plan doesn't allow tethering.

AT&T Note 3 to T Mobile

Okay so I have an AT&T Note 3. And Im tired of dealing with AT&T haha. Too pricey. Is there any way I can use mine on T Mobiles network? Fixing to order a sim card from them. Will it work?

You have to obtain a SIM unlock code. You can either call at&t if your the original owner and get one for free. I go overseas a lot so they gave it to me. Or you can obtain one for a price online.
If the phone is or gets blacklisted, it won't work on at&t or tmobile anymore.
It will work. I did it.
However, the service is not as good as a full blown T-Mobile phone and there will be no wifi calling. I am debatig on selling this and buying the T-Mobile brand phone...
If you do not care about wifi calling you can install the T-Mobile Rom on the ATT Note 3. I did and the phone service was much better.

It is fairly straightforward. Was easy to install.
Once I installed the TMO os on the phone it WORKED BETTER. Again, I cannot wifi call but adding the tmo carrier option via the Modificatinator helped a lot and it FIXED THE GPS issue. It's obvious the GPS issue is ATT related. Was not easy adding the additional TMO carrier options on the Modificatinator but once figured it was cake.
Yep and then some
It will most certainly work on T-Mobile if you ended your contract/relationship with ATT legally/appropriately. Visit - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485441 for some really important information while switching. There are changes to build.prop that can improve 4G speed , reception , etc.
Okay so I unlocked my phone. Im using t mobile now. But 4G doesnt work. Any way I can get it to work?

Note 3 data only sim

Hey guys. I'm currently rocking a nexus 5 32 GB. But I've been thinking about getting a note 3 for the expandable storage. 32 fills up pretty quick. But mainly I want to have the note 3 for an mp3 player/web browser. If I buy an att prepaid sim with say 2gb of data and I throw it in the note 3 or any phone really would it allow data to work? Could I text? I've never heard of anyone trying. If it comes down to it I'll put $20 on a card and try it myself, but I'd rather not before asking.
Thanks in advance. I appreciate it!

Unfortunately, I've tried this, and it's a no-go. If you try to use the prepaid SIM with the pay-as-you-use plan you will find that for smartphones there is no data connection available. It can only be used for text's and calls on ATT's network. It's ATT's nasty way or preventing people from doing exactly what we want to do.

No... That is incorrect. The APNs have to be changed to gain data. I have done it a billion times.

If you could tell me what I need to do, I'd appreciate it. I've been stuck without data because I was unaware of this.
Settings/wireless and networks/more/mobile networks/access point names.
You will have to add/change the APN to match with the APN of the network you are trying to use. So if it is GoPhone, Google that specific APN.

So with setting the correct APNs data only will work... that's awesome... Now to find a decent priced note 3... Thanks man!

Maybe that's my problem. Mine is just a regular SIM. But as far as I know, they do not give out "Data Only" SIMs for prepaid.
They do for mobile Hotspot.

Spotify Promo

Hi all. My wife and I both switched to framily plans and got 6 months of Spotify included. I was under the impression that both of our lines would get the promo but Sprint customer service Todd me it was only one promo per framily plan. Can anyone confirm? If that's really the case I'll just give it to my wife but just want to see if I'm being yanked here.
Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk
Just create an account on your line and have her create her own account on her line.
Hmm, well idk man but i did got the 6 month promo in the same plan with 2 diferents accounts
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Not correct at all. Both me and my wife are on the same framily plan, and we both have our own Spotify promo codes.
You can get spotify on each line but normally it won't be done unless you are getting a new phone. You can go into a store and ask. Worst they say is no.

Thanks all. I ended up calling Sprint and they sent me an extra code.

Nexus from best buy

Has anyone had success getting one from best buy? I live in Orlando and I can't find an unlocked or a Verizon model anywhere. I tried online, but it won't let me order it
I got my "sprint" version last year from Bestbuy when they had it on sale, for Bestbuy it's a shot in the dark just like ordering from Motorola or Google, when you see it, order it and never hesitate

BB was not selling it when I checked on Thursday.
Definitely won't hesitate. When you got it for sprint, did you do an in store pickup? It seems like they'll only have them for in store pickups.

Yep, it was pickup only, and I had to drive 2 hours to another state to get it, lol, I was that dedicated. But for the contract price of $180, it was worth it, still don't regret it because I've never seen one since
