Hi, Ting has recently rolled out new plans from T-mobile. Does anyone know if the Mi 8 supports the new plans?
I have the new sim card that says 'X3' on it but I'm afraid to port over to it since there is no way to go back to the old Ting plans.
Late reply, but the answer is yes, the Mi 8 supports Ting's new plans. You can chat with support and have them send you the sim card, but it might take some convincing.

Hello,
I have a quick question about a Nexus One I got with Vidéotron (a Canadian Carrier - I believe it is compatible with the T-Mobile network).
I am going on a trip to Los Angeles and was thinking of picking up a local prepaid sim card and just swapping it with my Videotron card (will be using a yak calling card for long distance).
Will this work? Do I need a special code to get the phone to accept the card?
Aside from using google talk or similar computer based alternatives, does anyone have a better suggestion (cost-effective!) for using my Nexus One in LA without getting dinged with roaming?
Thank you in advance!
Yes you can get T-Mo 3g http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands .
Was the phone sold as unlocked? I know the ones sold in the US were but I am unsure about the carrier branded phones. The best thing to do is get a local SIM from another carrier and test it out before you go. I'm sure they are able to give you an unlock code if you just call them.
Ok I have a moderate grasp that it is definately possible to use the Note on Straight Talk. I recently read the only other thread on it here in these forums. But I thought to start one here so that the information is available for others who need in its own post. This is also, of course for my benifit.
I am about to purchase an International Note from Amazon or Newegg this week. I plan to use it on StraightTalk wireless. I know specific APN settings are necessary for it to be usable to its full potential. So i have a couple of questions:
1) What is the correct APN settings for Straighttalk using the Note?
2)When ordering the Sim, so I chose unlocked phone or ATT compatible phone?
3)I currently have Straighttalk service on a dumbphone. Is that Sim usable in the Note? If it is, will just be able to change my plan to the Unlimited all for $45 and get the same service as I would if i ordered the unlocked or att sim?
4)I also saw some loose mention of a Data cap in the other thread but to my knowledge Straighttalk clearly says unlimited. Which is it?
Thank you in advance.
imho, the best thing to do is call your provider? anyway, for comparison, i purchased my note from company A with their own sim. Note is unlocked. im using company B's sim on my note without any problem.
SO...
Anyone using it know the exact settings and if i need to purchase new unlocked sim from them or if i can use my old sim from my original straighttalk dumbphone?
you can find the info you need here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487293
those are the settings most of us are using.
I didnt want straight talk to set me up on tmobile so I ordered the at&t sim..i would suggest the same if you have good at&t coverage cause you'll only get edge speeds on tmobile.
Is Sim Card in the Moto W418G same as the "AT&T Compatible Phone Sim Card" from ST??
Hello my fellow XDA-Developers,
Just have a quick question for anyone who can answer, I am coming from a Black Samsung Galaxy S2 [which I love] (on BS Sprint <--- who i HATE... no wait... who I DESPISE...) to my (sexy white) Unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note, that of which, arrives today! IM SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS!!! ;-)
My question is... is the Sim Card that comes with the Motorola W418G (www shopstraighttalk dot com/bpdirect/straighttalk/PhoneDetails.do?action=view&productVariantExtensionId=13092337) [which I had to purchase, because I really needed a phone at the moment) the same Sim Card as the "AT&T Compatible Phone Sim Card" that can be purchased separately online from StraightTalk for $14.99?? (www straighttalk dot com/ShopSims)
I would like to know this because I am planning on taking the sim that I activated with the $45 Unlimited plan yesterday, out of the Motorola W418G and putting it into the Galaxy Note that will arrive today... I am assuming/hoping that everything will function correctly (Voice, Text+MMS, & Data) once I update the APNs appropriately... This should be ok... right?? Or are they different Sim Cards??
Worst Case Senario... if they are different Sim Cards and I am forced to purchase one from StraightTalk separately... how would I go about putting my account onto that Sim Card and not the one that came with the Motorola W418G??
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best Regards,

First, I'm new to pre orders and family plans with T-mobile, and will appreciate any help I can get here.
Here's what's going on. Late September we opened a 4 line family plan, 3 phones were pre ordered, 1 phone bought new at the tmobile store. We were given all 4 SIM cards, but only 1 is activated on the in-store bought phone, when I log into mytmobile site, it shows that we only have 1 phone# / line, which should be normal I think since we only got 1 phone activated with them for now and waiting for the pre ordered phones to arrive.
Now, one of the new phones (Samsung Note 4) will arrive by mail this Thursday, my question is how do I activate the new sim and phone? I heard phones ship with SIM card in the package? If so, which sim do I use? The one in package with new phone or the one I got in store? I know I can't activate it online, I tested it out and right now it only allows me to update and replace the one current sim to a new one, but that's not what I want, I want to ADD new sim/line to the account since this is a family plan. Do I have to take my new phone and sim to a tmobile store to activate or spend a long *** time on the phone with customer service just to activate a sim to our account? What are the steps after I receive the pre ordered phone? BTW the phones are bought on the installment plan.
Sorry if this seems like a simple matter, but again I'm new to all this.

I believe that you just put the sim in and they can do everything over the phone

My phone came with the new sim and all I did was pop it in and made a call. In your box It gives you a number to call to activate, but all I did was make a call from the phone and my sim was already activated for some reason. For the heck of it, I called the number to activate and it said my card was already activated. So IMO, your card will already be activated upon arrival or you will just need to call the 800 activation number.
just call customer service at 800-866-2453, and say "representative" when you hear the prompt. your new sim/line will be activated in no time. i would suggest you use the new sims from the box, it is ISIS compatible, not that it matters-but would be better if you'd wanna use that service in the future.
I want to order iphone 8 plus for me and iphone 8 for my son in few days. the both phones will be from t-mobile and I have a question. can I unlock them the same day for metropcs we have metropcs plan with cheap family calls so I want to use metropcs instead t-mobile. after some research I found the service where iphone 8/8plus is already supported for sim unlocking, so I have a question. have anybody used this service before ? just want to be sure before making order there.

I just ordered a note 9 from Ebay that claimed to have a clean ESN, well the seller lied and it is blacklisted sigh, now I have to use buyer protection and send the phone back.
I saw on another forum that the new Note 9 is like the Iphone and that you do not need a Tmobile based rom to use T-Mobile wifi calling.
Is this true? Can I get say an ATT note 9 and put in my Tmobile sim and use wifi calling as long as the phone is unlocked? I need wifi calling because I travel so much internationally.
Please advise,
Thanks
I bought an unlocked note 9 from best buy and wifi calling works great on tmobile.

You can also get an unlocked AT&T note 9 and flash the T Mobile firmware on it. Basically, all USA Note 9 models have interchangeable firmware . But flashing won't remove the carrier lock. So make sure the ATT note 9 is unlocked and ready to use on any carrier first.
