Hey guys. I just got an Atrix today. I came from a Captivate. Only problem with the Atrix is that I have no network connection. I can make calls, text, and things like that, but I can't use the Browser or anything that connects to the internet. Any help is appreciated.
Got it fixed.
Please post your fix, as to help anyone in the future with the same problem.

I took it to ATT and they gave me a new SIM card.
Hey guys, First post long time reader. I am using my Atrix on Bell and was wondering if there's an easy way to swith between the iphone and Atrix. I used to swap sim cards with my blackberry, No bis but still worked. Could I just get a micro sim and an adapter and use the micro sim in my Atrix? Also am I able to operate on the same plan?

Yes the adapter should work fine. A friend of mine did that with his iPhone 4 and his nexus one.

I read a post hear on XDA where someone said he used an adapter for the i/Atrix, cant remember where or I would point you to it. I dont think you will have a prob w/ the data, it should be the same plan.
yes it'll work. im doing that now. plan will switch from iphone data plan to smartphone data plan. no biggy.
Ok perfect thanks alot guys. I know this shouldn't be in this forum but another question. Im pretty sure the iphone is locked to virgin on ios 4.3.3 with baseband 04.10.01 which is not unlockable at the moment from my understanding. But under Settings > General > About > Carrier it says "Bell 10.0". Will it work on bell since virgin is owned by bell in canada?

Should do, I know here in Australia TPG Mobile - a company that runs off Optus reception towers - requires you to have an unlocked or optus locked handset.
Just so you know I'm doing it without an adaptator.
The Micro-SIM is held in place in the ATRIX SIM SLOT.
Hi, I am going to travel to Mexico soon, to Juarez, Chihuahua to be more specific. I've been thinking about sim unlocking my vibrant so that I could get a prepaid service while I'm down there. I will start by calling T-Mobile and asking for the unlock code and if no code from them then I will resort to other methods here on the forums. My question is if there is anybody that has unlocked their vibrant and used it with a Mexican company? What unlock method was used and what Mexican carrier used? And what the phone setup was as far as rom and modem? And finally what the overall experience was and if there were any drawbacks when returning to T-Mobile service? Any information on this would be greatly appreciated and a due Thanks in advanced. By the way I have a couple older unlocked phones one being an htc diamond but I would really like to use my vibrant unless it's not worth the hassle.

I unlocked mine using Galaxy_S Unlock
by Helroz on the android market. Just remember to save your EFS folder.
I used telcel when I was in Baja california and it works like a charm. Sold an extra unlocked phone to my friend who lives down there. I bought the sim card but you have to register it but my friend registered it for me.
My Vibrant is unlocked too and i use it whenever i travel to different countries
Do you need a Mexico address to register or can you just make one up?
Oh and another question , is it only talk time you can use or is there a data plan for internet and messaging?

I don't know he planning works and everything but I convinced my cousin from Mexico to take a vibrant before he went back and using telcel I think with faster 3g speeds than me -_-. All he did was unlock it. I loaded bionix V and he said its still running smoothly.

So it seems that telcel is the provider to use by the responses I've received do far. Once I unlock it here in the US then get the sim from the temporary provider, do I need to input an unlock code or will the new sim be automatically recognized? And it's nice to know I can have internet while down there because I use it allot, I guess it will depend on how much it costs as I will only be there for about a week. Thanks to everyone that has responded so far.

If you unlock it using the app from the android market, you don't need a code. I guess if Tmobile gives you a code than you need to use the code.
If you use wifi a lot when traveling, i use my wificalling app instead of using the sim. I can use the wificalling to call the U.S. for free since i have unlimited minutes. If I call mexico, then I use voxofon.

When you say wifi calling app are you referring to one specifically from tmobile? If it is would you happen to have a link or apk for that app? And I'll have to Google voxofon to see exactly what it is. Thanks.

I've looked into voxofon and its similar to skype but it seems prices might be better, I'll have to investigate some more. Maybe I can change from skype.

There is a flashable wifi calling zip. It's a trigger rom but I haven't used trigger in awhile. You can test at home to see if your wificalling works with tmobile.

You can also add the $5 a month plan for international texting unlimited too and use it for a month. or add international rate for $5 a month if you are on a unlimited plan instead of using voxofon. It's pretty decent rate.

Those rates you are taking about are through T-Mobile right. And unless I'm missing something would that do me any good while in Mexico? I'll have to give T-Mobile a call and see what they offer.
And thanks for the link, I've been running trigger for a while now. Tried project V for a while but my phone started acting up after a few weeks of running it so I returned to trigger but haven't visited their page in quite a while to see that there is a wifi calling app.

Hey I installed Galaxy_S Unlock and tried the first option which is to see unlock code and all I got was "fffffffffffff" then it said if that code was shown to use step 2 to unlock. Just wondering if you tried that before actually unlocking the phone or not before I try step 2 and end up with a headache to get service working again?

Hey guys I need the communities help on this one so let me explain what's wrong. First off I've never had any problem with my data plan and switching the sim between phones. I just traded for a skyrocket and I stuck my sim in it to see if it was working and I wasn't getting any data. I get on AT&T chat and the lady says that I need one of the newer orange 4g Sims with the numbers 25 as the 9th and 10th digit. I have been using a blue sim for almost a year now without problems. So she changes it and I stick the new sim in the skyrocket and it still doesn't work then I stick in in my atrix and it doesn't work in it either. Its important to note that SMS and calling work fine and data works only if its on edge. Now she says I gotta go into the att store to get everything fixed and I hope someone here can help me. Btw my apn is the wep.Cingular or whatever it is lol.

Hello all...so I have a moto photon from sprint that's been sitting in my drawer..I went and got a cheap Samsung tracfone and was wondering how much trouble is involved in flashing the photon to tracfone. I understand I would have to swap esn numbers with CDMA workshop..are there any other additional steps that are required to get the phone to work completely normal, text/mms, data (3g only) and of course calls. I'm not a noob when it comes to phones but Id rather ask then brick the phone just winging it. Greatly appreciate all the help in advance thanks guys

Don't know about tracfone but you can unlock gsm side and run on straight talk, get sim from website,I know that this works because I did it for my wife's phone, $45 unlimited everything,just make sure you read the tems of service so you don't loose your data.
