Hello I'm wondering about a data issue I'm giving my mother my gs3 and wanting to know if I can go without data because she will not use it she has parkinsen . Now we use at&t I have data and I'm getting a new phone and I also ordered a sim cutter to make her sim work her sim is a go phone sim the metal area is the same size but one end looks a bit different.
Would unlocking the phone work without the data ?
Will I be able to do this without the data charge for her ?
Any ideas ?
Probably best reporting this to a mod to move to at&t forum.
You can turn data off sure, but can't help much more than that

OK so I been using the same att sim card for atleast the past 4 years and I had switch to so many different phones and I have been messing with my vibrant so many times by removing and putting backing, now it is scratch to a point where the phone some times cannot read the sim card. So I order a new 1 and it just arrive today, what I notice on the unlock vibrant it show E only, not 3G or H. I call ATT they said it will only show 3g if it is a att phone, which they were right when I insert the new sim in to a ATT phone and it show 3g on it and E on unlock vibrant. Does anyone know a way around this or fix this? Or if I can dumb down the simcard? Any advise or opinion or anything would help alot.
your gonna find out that problems get solved on bigger phones

I just got an unlocked international version of Galaxy S3, and I need some help please!!
So, this is my first time using a smart phone, so I don't know what to do AT ALL.. I just got the phone today, and
I went to Walmart to get Straight-Talk($45 unlimited data) but I realized that I need a sim card first??
(Not sure what voodoo thing is either..Sim Free?? Explain please )
When I called Straight-talk to ask things about sim card, they kept asking me what my service provider used to be even thought I kept saying that
I didn't have any because it was an international version. So, now I don't know what to do. Should I get a sim card and then use straight talk to text/call/etc? or can I go without a sim card??
Also, can I use at&t unlimited data($50) without contracts? which sounds better than straight talk.. Need help!! Thank you so much!!
The sim card allows your phone to connect to the network. You NEED one. Call straight talk or go to the website and order one.
You would be able to use AT&T prepaid but if they find out you are using a smartphone they will disable your data.

So, i've got this 3G/2G Huawei e1756 modem that i want to use on my galaxy s3 . Basically because on my country mobile data plans are very expensive for my cellphone modell and i don't wanna upgrade my data plan. I had this another sim card with another data plan (cheaper one) and i want to use it . it perfectly works on my pc . But u know i want some kind of alternative when i run out of megabytes on my main phone data plan.
so i was wondering if there is a way on tablets to make this work. Does also on a samsung galaxy s3?
(i've read some guide for tablets but there is something that isn't on my phone, the "only modem" option . And also i don't know if modifing those system files on the rom would affect my normal signal coverage )
any help please!
No, USB OTG will not support a modem.
Hello xda,
I'm looking at purchasing a S3 from eBay and I found a seller that is selling a factory unlocked S3. I'm not sure what that really means for me if I want to use the phone on PagePlus. I have a LG Lucid that has 4G capability so I had to reprogram it to use PagePlus on 3G. I never got MMS or data to work on it but that's another story.
Anyway, what does Factory unlocked really mean in terms of flashing? I like that idea of putting any SIM in the phone and using them without a lock is great and useful.
Is it less work to get the phone to use the Verizon/PagePlus network when it's already unlocked?
Also if getting a factory unlocked S3 is the best way to go for my situation, any help getting the phone flashed would be really appreciated.
Thanks

You probably don't have to much more than what you did before on your Lucid, but idk
Page Plus is a Verizon MVNO, and a CDMA carrier. The i9300 will not work, as it is a GSM only phone. If you want a SGSIII on Page Plus, you need to look for the i535 variant. That is the CDMA release of the SGS III.
So I have an issue with my current tablet that is locked to T-Mobile not getting any data using a normal phone sim. I'm not about to risk buying a different T-Mobile locked tablet or even one with T-Mobile Firmware as I have a feeling I will run into the same issue, and I can't get any clear answers about it.
Does it make sense for me to buy an ATT Unlocked S7 and use a T-Mobile Phone SIM in it then? Surely an unlocked Tablet from another carrier wouldn't get caught in the data-only SIM mess right? Or are there other ways around this issue? Ironically all I really need is data, but I need to be able to use a normal phone sim from my T-Mobile plan.
Usually t-mobile doesn't care if you use tablet plan sim cards inside phones but it does limit the usage of phone plan sim cards inside tablets.
So with tablet from popular/well known brands, no matter if it's from another carrier or a factory unlocked version, you are almost certain to be detected by t-mobile and it will either block the tablet or limit the speed to 3g speed, especially with those free phone lines with unlimited data.
You would better go with an imported tablet not dedicated for US market.
