I found a guy who is willing to trade his mint condition G2x for a samsung vibrant + an Ipod touch. My vibrant is on a 2 year contract, am I crossing any rules if I just put my sim card in his G2x? Without doing anything to t-mobile?
Yea that's advantage of being on GSM network goodluck with new phone

So I would not be crossing any rules just changing the sim card in the phone? Im not going to get a fee or something?
Nope not at all but they will know that u changed ur phone do lol

yes you can change phones, your contract only dictates the terms of using T-Mobiles Network, any GSM phone that supports there network frequencies are fair game. I used to buy euro phones and sell my contract discounted phone on ebay. T-mobile doesn't care what you do with the hardware after you purchase it.

If ATT gives good and cheap plans (unlikely) then I sick with ATT.
Else, probably Sprint, I'm not too fond to get Verizon as they don't have SIM cards...

some phones on sprint and verizon are world phones so they use sim cards too
I hope tmo gets a really really good phone around Christmas time, nexus i wish, then I'll upgrade and renew contract... So I get to keep the same tmo contract for the next year and a half or two even after the acquisition finalises.. I like my 70+ /mnth plan with 5gb data on TMO... When the contract ends, then I'll be on ATT, i don't mind the 2gb data limit since I don't go past 2gb every month anyway, i think it will cost more too especially two years from now or a year.. Att might raise the monthly plans...
I like sim cards..
im not sure yet that is even if the merger happens the fcc might block it and i hope they do i dont want the cheap and great t-mobile to get vaccumed up by the expensive rip off at&t that claims they have the best coverage
Att most likely... I want a iphone

I think tmobile will stay intact after the merge.. Most of the merge is backend, and tmobile is supposed to be a separate entity afterwards.

Sprint! Probably leaving T-mo here in the next month or 2... either get the 3D or the new Motorola Photon when it releases.
T-mo coverage is poop everywhere I go except work and home. I know that is only like 5% of my life that is spent where bad coverage is, but I really like my coverage to follow me other than along interstates.

Idk. A friend of mine who works for tmobile was asked two weeks ago if he was okay with workin for att.
Ill personally go to sprint. They're the only us carrier that has unlimited data. I would switch right now but i dont have the money.

I would suggest buying a GSM Evo 3D and getting a GSM carrier like T-Mobile, AT&T, or Simple Mobile. Good thing all of the main networks here in Russia are GSM, I don't like the CDMA system.

you have to provide proof such as a water bill drivers license with new address or something of that nature
No I didn't provide any proof like water bills or anything I just told them I moved over the phone and yes I was able to keep both of my phone numbers

It depends on the agent you get; whenever I do any shananigans I usually call the spanish line since they're based in Mexico, have full power over the acct, and are less likely to question your shiz.
And, yeah, the ESN will be clean if you do such a procedure.
Yeah maybe I got lucky who knows !

How's the Galaxy Nexus treating you, btw? I'm in the process of perhaps leaving Sprint and it's my first choice but I've heard lots of issues are afoot w/ the Verizon version.
Your thoughts?
Family member gave me their Thunderbolt, I now have the Incredible 2., which is 3G. I have an unlimited data plan for some time. If I drop my sim into the thunderbolt and activate is it going to wreck my plan and put me on the new tiered system?
No and the sim from the dinc2 is worthless in a thunderbolt. That's a gsm sim. I came to the thunderbolt from the dinc2 and I still have unlimited data

Maybe call vzw and ask just to be sure but I believe it only applies if you use an upgrade and buy the tbolt from them. Because anyone can buy a phone from anywhere ie(craigslist,ebay,etc) and put it on there lime as long as the ran is clean. But like I said check with them to be safe.

It shouldn't mess with your plan, but you will need a different sim that will allow you to get the 4G lte network.
Like he said above, the sim you currently have is useless.

Thanks guys! Where would I find that SIM?
Just walk into Verizon and they should just give you one. They shouldn't really ask any questions, but if they do, just tell them you picked it up used and just need a sim card for it.

It may cost you $25 to pick one up
And btw you should ROOT The tbolt

Sims are free for VZW customers. You have to get it from a corporate store or order it though because the licensed retailers will charge for it.

so i hard bricked my vibrant and im sending it to mobile tech videos next friday and i wanted to know if its unlocked if it would work on virgin mobiles network because i currently have them. either way im un bricking it but they offer unlock services so i was gonna pay the 10$ extra to do it cause i love the phone. if not ill use it as a play phone for games
Edited: I gave the wrong advice. I was thinking Straight Talk. You were asking about VM. I believe below poster is correct, and since VM in the USA uses a CDMA network, then it would effectively be impossible to use your Vibrant with their service.
Virgin mobile in the US is a cdma network so you cant use a vibrant with it unfortunately.
OK thanks guys saved me 10 bucks

There are a couple free apps in the Google Play Store to unlock your vibrant if you decide you would like to use it on a different network in the future

Your options for service other than T-Mobile are at&t, straight talk(uses tmo and at&t but its cheaper) simple wireless and depending on where you live there might be other providers . Make sure its GSM and it will work but that doesn't guarantee 3g service. That depends on which frequency bands the service provided uses for 3g services. I have a captivate (at&t sgs1) unlocked and use my second tmo line, I don't get 3g on it because they don't share the same 3g frequency bands.

my service provider is giving good plans for internet for blackberry users..
so is there any way i can spoof my android galaxy note to be recognized as blackberry device so that i can use the plans for blackberry...

Why would you need to spoof a BlackBerry. Just buy the plan.

You don't need a blackberry to buy the plan. Your purchasing a service from the network, they don't care what phone you have.
What plan is it btw ? And what country are you in ?

It would be nice if things worked that way, but unfortunately carriers here in the US get away with forcing plans onto people based on the device they want to use. For example you are forced into buying a data plan with any smartphone on most carriers.
It would be more helpful to get some details from the OP like what carrier they are using. As far as I know the device identity as far as what the carrier sees is tied to the ESN.
