I will be travelling to London, Barcelone and Amsterdam this summer. I currently reside in Vancouver, Canada. I would like to use my blackberry 9700 in Europe, Please let me know what prepaid sim is the best to call back Canada. Also I would like to use data when im down there, so phone and data sim card would be great,

Has anyone had any experience using an i9000 in Canada on either of the three big networks (Bell, Rogers and Telus)? What I need to know is if it'll work well in HSDPA mode given that it only has one (1900) of the two required Canadian HSDPA bands (850 and 1900). What bothers me it that it looks like the one Bell is launching (the "Vibrant") has only two HSDPA bands instead of three, and I really need the European band as well (2100). Hence Bell's Vibrant won't work in HSDPA mode in Europe.

Is there a way i can use the data plan from pay go (prepaid) on my unlocked iphone? I saw for t mobile you need to change the VPN and some other things.
Pre-req - an unlocked iPhone
1. Buy the cheapest AT&T Go Phone package from any electrical store, I bought a Nokia 2320 from Best Buy for USD30.
DO NOT PUT THE SIM CARD IN THE DEVICE IT CAME WITH
2. Go to att.com/gophone and choose "Activate"
3. Enter the SIM number, any IMEI that isn't your iPhone IMEI, name and email address, plus a ZIP code, and AT&T will activate the SIM and assign it a number
4. Call the AT&T top up line, press 0 to go through to an operator. Give them your newly assigned US phone number (from step 3) and ask for the USD19.99 100MB data package feature.
5. They will take your non-US debit/credit card, and bill you USD19.99.
6. Now you can put your SIM card in your iPhone. Reboot it.
7. Now you should have AT&T as your carrier. Using wifi, visit www.unlockit.co.nz and download and activate the US AT&T APN profile.
8. Reboot again, and you should have 3G data service on your iPhone.
(I found a lot of conflicting info on this, but I've just done this and it worked first time!)
I can't get it to work. Has anyone gotten the Nexus One to work on T-Mobile's Sidekick prepaid data plan ($1/day)?Obviously, it requires a proxy. But even with a working proxy, I cannot get a web browser, email, or anything to work on the Nexus One using hiptop.t-mobile.com.It works fine on a Nokia N900. But will it work with the Nexus One?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have (accidentally) rec'd calls at 30,000 ft on a delta plane with my network option on wifi only and having logged on to Deltas onboard wifi. This led me to believe that it is possible to make and recieve calls anywhere in the world as long as I am in a hot spot.
I have contacted my carrier, T-mobile, and have rec'd mixed signals from them. I am about to depart for spain and was thinking as long as I set my phone to wifi only, I should be able to make, recieve calls and data without incurring any roaming charges since it is all data or VoIP via the web.
I live in China and have a China iPhone 4S Model MD242CH currently subscribed to China Mobile. I will be going on vacation in Canada and I want to be able to take my iPhine 4S with me and change out my China Mobile MicroSIM card for a Canadian carriers MicroSIM card (Rogers Wireless, Fido Solutions, Bell Mobility, Telus Mobility, ???). It would also be nice if the 3G (or 2.5G GPRS/EDGE) works. What about my iPhone 4S WiFi ??

PC
I want to make sure I am not being charged by my carrier. I am using wifi only.
Thank you.

it will say i have full bars and the 3G icon is up, but it will say "can't active data network" and i can't get anything to load.
every now and then it will suddenly have "no service" and then back to full. but still no data loads.
is this a problem with the network or my phone?
I am a BES user and recently my account had to be recreated. I had taken a back up of the device from desktop manager. However after restore I find that all the BBM contacts, Bookmarks and Auto-text was not restored.I had spent a lot of time in making all the Auto text relevant to me. Doesn't the back-up process back up all these data?

The charger port was having problems and wasn't charging, so I changed the charger flex following online instructions. I am 99% sure I did it correctly as it all works now, but the Galaxy S2 won't recognise my ThreeUK Sim anymore. It recognises others such as orange and t-mobile (It's Unlocked with Root). I put the old charger flex cable back in and it's working with my ThreeUK sim but it won't charge again so I want to know, does the charger flex cable change what sim cards it can read etc? I don't want to order cable to fix my phone before I know what to look for in it in case that has the same problems as the one I've ordered.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHow did I delete my Contacts? Here's what happened:
1. I had a good set of contacts in the phone itself, and on the SD card.
2. Trying to determine if Wifi Calling could possibly work with no sim installed, or with a dead Tmo sim installed, I tried both ways, in that order. (In fact, though different messages appeared, neither scenario worked.Both times, my SD was in the Defy. And the dead sim had never been used in the Defy.) I had to sign into Motoblur during this exercise.
3. I put my good sim back in.I signed back into Motoblur.I noticed during the evening that incoming calls did not show the caller etc etc etc. In fact, I had no contacts, said the phone. Not even, apparently, in the phone memory.
4. I imported contacts from the SD card. A couple recent changes made to the phone memory contacts were not present.
What in the previous steps caused my phone contacts to disappear? Just loading up a dead sim? Could it have really been so dumb as to attempt to generate a new (blank) set from that sim without asking,saying 'this will replace your contacts; do you want to continue? Though that sim had been used in a Moto Spice, Android 2.1, I cannot say with certainty that I'd ever exported the Spice XT300 contacts to the sim.And now, I decide to export the contacts to the SIM for safety sake. I see only one item, My Info. I choose All Contacts (at the top) , and it sits there seemingly forever, doing nothing.The only thing I can do is back out of that. There's 'Select All' at the bottom left, but it can't be clicked if All Contacts was. If I do that instead, it just selects me.
I rebooted, and got nothing different.I only have 100 contacts.So if those 100 are in the phone memory, why won't they export? If they're not in there, then where did the Import from SD put them?
I have heard that there are possibility's for using a prepaid sim in an iPhone. Can I get instructions on how to do this? Does it matter what gen of iPhone I am using? Please help.
View 5 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know of a way to use a 2G iPhone prepaid.
all i really care about is talk, text, i/m and mms.
Here are the specs for my phone:
iPhone Model: 3g (US)
Network: O2 Wireless
Carrier: AT&T 5.5
Modem Firmware: 5.11.07
OS: 3.1.2 (7d11), currently unlocked & jailbroken with blacksn0w
Here is my desired outcome:
Use O2 prepaid SIM with the new OS 4.0, get the push alerts for my apps. I don't really care if I can jailbreak it or not, I don't have any use for the rock or cydia, so this is secondary.
Here is what I do know:
O2 wireless (prepaid, US), runs over network, was told by O2 wireless CSR that any unlocked phone may use the O2 SIM. When I was a subscriber on the network I received all my push alerts, now I only receive my email push alerts and they are sometimes delayed.
My question:
Since O2 wireless runs over the network, do I still need to have my iPhone 3g unlocked? Or do I need to unlock it again? Will I loose my unlock (with the 3.0 upgrade my unlock remained) once I update to 4.0? Will I now receive app push alerts?
What is the best U.S. prepaid carrier i can use for an iPhone 3G? I currently can't use my plan so i have to use prepaid for a few months at the max. I don't need data. (although data would be nice )
View 24 Replies View RelatedAny thoughts on whether its worth the extra money to buy the 3G versus 2G when I am only using it for the phone and apps? There difference is about $200 for an unlocked 2G versus $330 for a 3G. I also have several apps programs that I used on my ipod touch that I will use on the iphone.
I recently got a new Verizon phone and have stopped using ATT. As a result, I still have my old ATT cell phone. I was wondering if its possible to just buy a SIM card with a few hundred minutes on it and then use the phone whenever I needed an extra phone. I don't want to have to pay per day or every use type of thing, I just want a phone that can call out, dont even really need it to call to.
