Does anyone knows if the Mega can be made to work on Straight Talk?
I'd venture to say Yes.
As long as you are sim unlocked.
I'm using net 10 which is very similar. Just buy the prepaid cards from WalMart (no contract) and it does 4G just fine.

Can I get the straight talk "micro" sim from walmart???
Sent from my GT-I9205 using xda app-developers app
I think with Straight Talk you have to order the sim from their web-site
Then you buy the mins from Walmart
Walmart sells the Net 10 sim right on the rack
Called bring your own phone kit
Comes with a full size and a micro sim plus first month of service
I think I paid $65.00 for the kit
I activated it on a full size sim from another phone I was using at the time.
On the Mega, I had to cut the sim down with a razor blade.

Thats cool if you get 2 sims...im wondering if I can put the micro in my mega AND it's full sized twin in my tab//phone , Samsung GT-P6800 and have them both work? Ie: same phone number ...data plan? ?... that would be a trick. .

No I think the reason they give you two cards is they try cover all the bases not knowing what device you have.
Only one card can be activated though.
One or the other.
You can buy two kits but it would twice the money and two different phone numbers.

Very true as when i got my mega from my carrier they gave me a new sim card which was part of the deal..basically a activation fee and my old sim from them was still good with the same number they put to my new sim card, and they told me that my old one will be no good to use even though both sim cards had the same number on it, but i tried my old one anyways and it was no good like they said..it said insert sim card, so no two sims cards can have the same number..would be cool but not happening. :silly:

Yes correct
GSM technology is very secure
I once bought a sim card replicator that promised to duplicate/clone any GSM sim card.
I wanted to do this so I would not have to keep taking battery/cover/sim card from one device and put in another then back again all the time.
I was never going to fire up both devices at the same time
(As that would cause a ripple in the fabric of deep space and a tear in the time/space continuum).
Anyway allz it did was destroy my original sim and I had to pay AT&T $20.00 for a new sim card.

Yes Sir
Definately a learning experience
A Radio Shack sales rep wanted to bet me $100.00 that it would NOT work.
If I were a betting man I'd been out another $100.00.
On top of the $ 30.00 I paid l for the cloner
And the $ 20.00 I paid for a new sim card.
Sometimes learning can be expensive
I offer if here for free.
I still think it can be done though.
Just not with that device
Anything man invents can be exploited
I just didn't have the resources to seek out someone who had the capabilities, equipment and knowledge to do it.
Plus no funds to keep buying new sims.
Ever since wifi tether came along there's no need anymore.

I have 4 rezounds and I can just switch my active sim card between phones & the phone with the card automatically activates on my line when I boot it up.
I pre-ordered a GSlll to burn up my last upgrade. How does it work to switch between phones when the new phone comes with a different sim??
I'm not sure how that works bit if it swaps between all the rezounds, I think it would work with the gs3? Could be wrong. And what the hell do you have 4 rezounds and a gs3 for? Lol

You'll need to get a microsim from Verizon and then if you want to use it on the rezound get a microsim to regular sim adapter. They are not much. Usually a few dollars.

I heard you can buy a Micro Simcard cutter and trim/cut the SIM card into a microsim and there's an adapter that lets you turn that micro SIM into a regular simcard. Example;

for about 5 bucks you can get a Micro Sim Card Cutter+4 Adapter

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.

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.
So I'm planning on selling my dna very soon. Tired of small memory, bad battery life, and sim card problems. My question is, if I remove my sim card, then sell it. Will the buyer still be using my plan because of the esn being linked to my account? Also I want to pay full retail and get an s4. Will just inserting my sim card into the s4 switch my phone over? Thanks guys
Ya the other person who buys will not be using your plan
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
No just putting in your SIM wont work on the s4 .
You first need to release the esn on the DNA once you sell so that the buyer can have a clean esn.
Then after you will call and have the s4 on your account an then use the SIM you had or get a new one

You do NOT need to worry about doing anything. Just take out your SIM. When you get another phone, just put it in. I had the same phone on my account, and my boss's account at the same time while just holding onto the SIM cards. (Meaning I didnt have a phone in my possession, JUSt a sim card linked to my account.)
That was when the Galaxy S3 came out, but I've done the same thing multiple times dealing on craigslist to keep my Unlimited data when I didnt have a spare phone available.
Whether or not that is something you are "supposed" to do, I can't speak for that.
SIDE NOTE: On the DNA, make sure to Factory wipe AND wipe under the Storage section... I've bought soo many DNA's with peoples pictures and such on them b/c a factory wipe doesn't delete it all.
Hey guys just wanted to bump this. Thanks for the responses. So how do I go about clearing my dad's esn? And will the sim card swap work or not?

If you can get 400 for the DNA you would be at the top of the market. More likely to get around 350, though you might want to do it soon - VZW is giving away the DNA for free at the moment, and that always pushes resale into the $hitter.

Let's not get into actually trying to buy or sell on here (rules and all), if you want a DNA, there are some good deals over at swappa.com, let's use that instead.

You'll know if the SIM card is secure-element-ready (for Isis Mobile) if its the fully white sim card. The old ones are half red and half white, they do not contain the secure element. But neither will work for Google Wallet.

So here's an update to the above. I went back to Best Buy and after explaining what had happened, they were very kind and helpful to give me a sim card from another of their Note 3's from their stock. Evidently the card taken out of my was discarded somehow.
So can anyone tell me what happens when I try to activate this sim card? Will I be charged another activation fee? What will the swap affect on my phone? Should I expect any flack from Verizon after explaining what happened?

i actually work at Best Buy and you wont get an activation fee or upgrade fee. Doing a hardware swap is free and can be done multiple times in a day if needed. You actually can do it all online if needed through your verizon account.
The only time you will get a fee for activating a phone is if your are switching carriers to start up a new line or if you upgrade. It used to be called a contract fee because the fee only applies when signing a contract. however they changed the pricing on it so now the new line fee is $35 and the upgrade fee is $30.
