IPhone :: Can Use Prepaid Sim Card Like T-mobile With 4S In The USA
Jun 13, 2012
I have a "Simple Mobile" sim card - prepaid with 3G- Its main carrier is actually T Mobile and Simple mobile works with T mobile network. I wanna get an iphone 4S and use it with the simple mobile sim. I have unlimite tet talka and 3G data for 40 $ with simple mobile. Can I use an apple store iphone with my simple mobile sim. Should I look for a factory unlocked iPhone ? Is it possible to get one in the US?
Can I get 3G speed using the simple mobile sim on iPhone? IF not , why- any bandwith difference created by unlocking the iPhone? what is the difference between at&t / verizon 3Gdata vs any prepaid data like t mobile or simple mobile data?
I just got my iPhone 4 and and was setting it up. It's asking me to verify my my credit card info. My credit card expired and I didn't want to renew it so now I don't have a credit card. Is there anyway to get my iTunes account activated again? Would a prepaid credit card work? I googled it but got mix responses, and after being on hold with apple for 40 knobs my phone died earlier. Anyways, I made a new account that works, but now I can't dl all the apps I already paid for on my original account.
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.
When trying to top up the pre-paid card in my N900: *141* number of pin #, when I press the call button, I get this message: incorrect number. It seems as if the phone doesnt recognize the * and considers it a normal phone number I am trying to call. I would appreciate some advise to have the N900 accept the code so that I can top up the pre-paid card?
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.
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 )
Any 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 was browsing the forums looking for a answer on this, i see alot of answers on this subject for T mobile.
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.
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 bought a locked 3Gs but am a TMO user. Until the next hack comes out, using it as an iTouch. If I were to buy a prepaid AT&T sim card, would it work for just voice in the locked 3Gs? Simple calls in/out, no data requirements, text, MMS, etc. I visited AT&T store, they said Apple/AT&T lock out their own AT&T prepaid accounts?
i just ask as question about iphone 4 of verizon and there ll coming with prepaid in the future or unknown yet as information? If, they re plan do in the future for iphone 4 verizon or not? i just want to know that all.
I have a prepaid phone from ATT and they said that the way that Apple sends data doesn't support the prepaid service. I was just wondering why they did that? If it was intentional?
Others may have asked this but I can't find an answer that works for my Xoom. I have a 3G Xoom operating on 3.1 but it won't recognise the SIM card.
I have:
Tried turning the unit off and repowering it - no success Tried using the SIM card from my mobile phone - no success Removed the SIM and resinserted it - no success When I look at Settings/Wireless and Networks/Mobile Network Settings, I have Data Enabled checked.
If i open the SIM card slot, I immediately get a message "SIM error - A SIM card error has occured. A mobile data connection cannot be made until you insert a valid SIM and power cycle the device. Please contact Customer Care if the problem persists".
When I reinsert the SIM, I get a triangle with an exclamation mark in the bottom right corner saying "No Service - Selected network (Vodafone AU) unavailable". Now when I go back to Settings/Wireless and Networks, the Mobile Network Settings option is greyed out an unavailable.
When I turn the Xoom off and then restart it, that Mobile Network Settings option is available again. MASSIVELY frustrated as I can't find out whether it's a setting that needs adjusting, whether it's the Xoom itself, a 3.1 problem.
I have an Xperia Play phone, but i dont want to pay the REDICULOUS bill verizon wants to charge me. Is there any way i could set this phone up to be used with prepaid plans? I know Straight Talk uses verizons towers and has an android phone. I dont care if the method would be legal or not, as long as it would work, i mean i paid for the phone, if there is some way it has that functionality, modified or not, i should be able to use it.
I have recently purchased a Nokia 5230 and memory card, great no probs, just wanted a photo printing off, the photo shop man couldn't get my memory card out of the mobile and obviously didn't want to force it. (bluetooth from my phone for whatever reason wouldn't work in his shop).
I came home and tried to remove it and had the same problem, the card will come out so far and then it is stuck I tried with tweezers but it still wouldn't budge after a bit of force. Help!! Any solution apart from taking it back to the shop I bought it from? Should the phone be off or on while I am trying to remove the card?
Out of nowhere my cell has stopped reading memory card. I restarted my phone aswel but still it doesn't work. connecting to pc even won't show memory card! what should i do?
I have a 8GB micro SDHC card which i got along with Nokia N85. When i try to use it in Xperia mini the notification is: "SD card removed.Insert new". Doesnt Xperia mini support Micro SDHC? Also the phone keeps restarting when the 8GB card is inserted.
I manged to delete all my contacts including the ones on the SIM card
Now after recovery I have 100+ contacts under the T-mobile account/group, but none in the phone address book or the SIM card. I cannot figure out how to copy all my T-mobile contacts to the SIM card. Looks like you can only copy the phone address book contacts to the SIM card.
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?
I got my N900 monday together with a new O2 sim card. It worked fine on monday and tuesday, but since yesterday, the connectivity to the O2 network is down. When I start up the phone, it asks for the PIN; so it seems that the sim card is recognized. But it does not connect to the network! The provider name does not appear next to the status bar, and there is no connectivity indicator on the status bar. Offline mode is disabled, of course.
Text messages cannot be send; when I try to call someone, I get an error (translated from german: "network not available" or similar). The strange thing is that sometimes I can reach the network for very short time. I then get missed test messages, but that's it. The connection lasts for not more than 2-3 minutes, I guess. I tried another sim card, and this one did not work, too. The sim card was placed properly into the slot. Is there anything I can do, or may this be a well-known firmware bug?
Today i detect lot of problem in my nokia 700.. interal memory c: only 75mb is free.. how can i save application in memory card instead of mobile and how to increase the performance... net speed is good but mobile get automatically heated within one hour and charge gets down
Im using the 1520 and 1-2 times a day I have to restart my phone and "scan" my SD card because I get the message that I removed the card. It actually quite frustrating because it takes about 15 minutes to actually scan the SD card not to mention that I have to wait to reboot the phone.
I basically put all my movies, apps, and pictures on the card...using a 64GB Transcend PRO. I dont think the card is corrupt because I literally got it about 2 months ago.
Does anyone know if the prepaid T239 phone will communicate with a computer using cable APCBS10UBE?I read from some sites that the phone does not support pc sync while other say it does.If it does sync where can I find the usb driver?

Now I have an unlocked 9700 AT&T. I am just wondering, if I am going overseas and want to use 9700 with the overseas prepaid BB service and prepaid SIM card, how do I configure my phone so I can get all functionality (BBM, emails, etc)?Right now I have an unlocked overseas 8520 that I am trying to use with AT&T service and I am having problem using AT&T BB service with 8520.
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,
