I got a international gs3 but when trying to move my Sim from GS2 (also international) seemed to big for it. I had this dim from my iphone
Do I need to get a new sim from at&t? Or am I just doing it wrong?
Thanks

It uses micro sim. You'll need to get a new sim or get out an exacto knife. Definitely recommend a new sim.

Just go to ATT and tell them you need to replace your sim card and its for a HTC One X.
That's what I did and it was no charge when I got my international one x

I got an international GS3, that came in German. I changed the phone's language, so it's in English now, but some of the apps, like the s voice remained in German.
Any idea how I can change that?

Hello I will be receiving S3 tomorrow and I just wanted ask how to setup with AT&T. I have set it up before on my Galaxy Note N7000, is it pretty much the same way except for needing microSIM?

Yes, should be the same. When I got mine a few weeks ago i cut by SIM card down to micro size and put it in the phone. All data settings were automatically detected.

What kind of setup? I just popped in my sim and everything worked fine. I am running the unlocked, unbranded international version.
Cool thank you very much!
By the way do you guys have LTE plans? On Gnote I have LTE unlimited so I could take advantage of 5gb cap before throttle and visual voicemail. Have you guys set the visual voicemail as well? I hope it works the same as on gnote.

I have the international version so I don't have an LTE plan, I rarely hit my caps anyway as I am on wifi in the office and at home. As for visual voicemail, I use google voice so I wouldn't know.
Thanks again

Hello
Can anyone tell me if the s3 on t-mobile uk is heavily branded? Both the handset itself and the operating system with added apps etc
I am considering moving to t-mobile, but if it is heavily branded then I will just get a sim free instead.
Many thanks.
It probably will be... But it's very easy to unbranded by flashing the unbranded stock rom via odin.

All the S3 on T-mobile so far have pretty much stock apart from a splash screen. There are reports that are unlocked too.

I'm on T-Mobile in the UK and I received a Pebble blue on upgrade from T-Mobile, I have zero branding on the phone, and when I say zero I mean zero, nadda, zip, nothing. It goes without saying that I received my upgrade at about the time when there were just about no pebble blue's available, I'm assuming T-Mobile sent out the first batch without any branding. I consider myself very lucky. This is the first phone I've received from T-Mobile without any branding.
I'm not sure what it's like now, now that they've caught up with stock etc. they have no doubt added all the usual sh*t that they add to their phones.
I also got a OTA update when other people with branded phones were not receiving.
I also have a White SGSIII on T-Mobile and have no branding what so ever!
Not even a T-Mobile splash screen just the stock Samsung.

How recently did u get your white sgs3?
I just got my Blue S3 on T-Mobile yesterday, and it has no branding whatsoever.
I did buy it from Tesco Phone Shop rather than T-Mobile directly though, don't know if that makes any difference.
I've got white s3 from t mobile and there is no branding what so ever! I'm thinking if it has sim lock?
sent from galaxy s3
got 2 sgs3 in white on T-Mobile uk both no branding at all and both unlocked direct from my local tmob store in the town centre
also got OTA updates
I got mine through mobile.co.uk on T-mobile. Its not branded or sim locked.
You know I just noticed I've no t mobile branding on my blue s3. If course it says Samsung but not t mobile.

Maybe the first batch will be this way. Here in the U.S t mobile released the S3 to few t-mobile stores. Now a week later all the stores will get it. Do not know why they did that, but hopefully I got something others won't get. X)

Then again, maybe the t-mobile s3 will not be branded at all. I haven't seen a branded s3 anywhere...

Thanks everyone.
Took the plunge - just got a blue one today from the official T-Mobile store. No branding on the phone or on the software. Excellent.
Got my pebble blue from T-Mobile direct last week. No branding except for the browser homepage which was set to T-mobile's site, however surprisingly, it was SIM locked.
I have since rooted, unlocked and installed an unbranded official Samsung ROM
Hi,
I just got a new Note for my mom. She is coming from an iPhone 3gs. Do I need to get her a new SIM card? The customer service reps at AT&T said that I do not, but won't that mess up the speed of the phone and stuff like that? Just wondering.
Thanks,

It'll work , but not lte. I would get a new one. Of course they told me I needed a new one. At least At&t is consistent.
Yes, Lte requires an lte SIM, if you are in an lte area you'll need one to get the best speeds. If lte is not in your area yet you don't really need a new one.
All you need to do is look at the sim num and if its a 25 for 9th and 10th digit then ur good. If its less than that u need a new sim

My data wouldn't connect at all until I got an LTE sim. You can download the speed test app to confirm. Also, if you haven't modified it yet, the carrier badge will show what network you're connected to.

They tell you that you have to have the newer sim card no matter what, that is a load of crap. If you have an older simply you have to change the APN setting, but it will still work. Only thing that wouldn't work would be LTE

The iphone has a smaller sim card doesn't it? Its probably easier to get an new sim than to get an adaptor.

The 3GS used a standard sim card whereas the 4 and 4S use the micro, so it'd transfer over just fine

It is needed if you want to take advantage of all data speeds. Yeah you can aupposedly change your apn settings but not everyone who buys an lte phone knows about changing them. When 4g lte phones first came out so many people called in cuz they got new phones. Didnt want to use the new sim ao when the data plan was put to the correct one data still didnt work. Had them use the new sim and issue resolved. End of story

While we are on the topic of simcards (i figured better to ask here then make a new topic) I'm currently in the republic of Georgia and my host mother really likes my galaxy note. while Sam sung phones are very popular here the note is not here. if she was to buy a note online could be put a Georgian simcard in it? the guy at the at&t store before i left said something about the code not being unlocked yet or something so someone there would have to know what they are doing. i know there is a international version so if possible should she buy that person?
The international version comes unlocked meaning that it can use any sim card. I believe you can get it online for between 450 and 550 USD, but I've not looked at prices for a few months.

The inernational N7000 version is just a little bit different than at&t i717 on the capacitive buttons area. But other than that she won't see any difference. That would be a sweet gift.
Ok thanks for all the replies. From what I have been told, she can keep the 3GS card which fits just fine, and she can keep her old 250MB data plan for now since she barely used any of that data with the iPhone. But I'm suspecting now that she can actually see the screen and she has been playing around with this phone more in the past week than she has with the iPhone in the past 3 years, I better upgrade her soon. Oh, the reason she didn't get a new SIM card, is that this phone was an insurance replacement for my old phone. And I got a new phone in the mean time while waiting (S3). So we are both happy, but I miss my screen real estate!!!
Thanks,
Patti

XDA is no longer worth my time.
This is probably a very simplistic question, but an answer is appreciated. I've only had one Verizon smart phone and their cards are a bit different.
I have a S3. When I receive my Note 2 from Verizon on Monday, can I swap the new sim card with the one from my S3 and continue using the same number? With other carriers I know, but with Verizon I don't assume.
Thanks for your help.
I pulled out my SIM from my GNew and popped it into the Note 2 I got from Amazon today, works perfect and no hassle; VerizonWireless does see you do have a new device on their site (doesn't affect your plan or anything; I have unlimited data so had to buy phone at full retail from Amazon)
I had a nexus then got an S3, now I have the Note 2, all using the same sim card.

I have a Droid Razr Maxx (not the HD) that I hotswap all the time with my S3. In fact, if you go to your account online, you will see the device listed as your current device. The, you swap and the device you swapped to will be your listed device.
If you want to hot swap w a Iphone 5, though, you'll need a sim adapter because the Iphone uses a nanosim.

That's exactly what I wondered and hoped, guys. That's how it should be, but after signing up for the line I wasn't positive.
Thanks.
I went from my nexus to note and used the same sim. However I had no 4g. I went to verizon and they swapped sims for me. Not sure why that happened to me.

Hey guys, I have an AT&T one x+ which I had carrier unlocked. I tried a few different sim cards while I was in the US, including my UK pay-as-you-go sim from 3 and all worked fine. However, now that I'm back in the UK I'm finding that the phone can't find any network. Anyone know why? Do I have to flash a different radio or something?

Check the compatible radio frequencies of your HOX+ with those of 3. I'm guessing that there not compatible though..... Unfortunately you can flash all the radio's you want but it won't change a thing. The frequencies are hard coded into the chipset. The reason it worked in the US, is because you was using a UK sim, but roaming on a compatible US network. Maybe you could try an EE sim, There the only 4G network in the UK right now, maybe there using more compatible frequencies.

As far as I know: 3 operates on the UMTS 2100 MHz frequency in the uk, and according to the specs on the AT&T website, the one x+ is capable of operating on this frequency. I tried my sisters EE sim card and had the same problem. I'm wondering if it's something in my settings.

I'm using Viper rom version 2.0, but have the same problem with stock rom when I reverted back to an old nandroid backup. I did upgrade to the new RUU that AT&T pushed out a couple of months back. Could that be the cause? More importantly, is there anything I can do to fix it? Could it be something as simple as a setting I have to change?
Thanks for your help, guys.

Ok, I finally figured it out!
I went into the hidden phone diagnostics options (press *#*#4636#*#*) and selected "Phone information". On the next screen under the menu options in the top right corner is "Select radio bands", clicked that and then selected "Automatic" instead of "USA only". I then removed and reinserted the sim card and it found the network. Managed to get data working by manually entering the correct APN settings.
BOOM, there goes the dynamite.
Hope that helps anyone else trying to use their AT&T One X+ abroad.

What's sad is, after spending time to get it working I really started liking the international Galaxy S3 that I'd been borrowing in the meantime. It's running CM 10.1 right now and seems to fly. My sister upgraded to the S4 and this thing has been sitting in a drawer for the past few weeks. Finders keepers.
