IMEI Number

I live in a very small town in West Virginia and the closest AT&T store is an hour away. I was wordering if anyone could give me an IMEI number that would help me get my new note up and running on the at&t network. It would save 2 hrs of driving.
Thanks

IMEI number is the unique ID of your phone. Each phone has its own. Your IMEI is printed on the box and inside the phone behind battery. You don't need other ppl's IMEI because it is counter productive and doesn't help you get the phone activated. What you need is an AT&T SIM card, like the one you already have on your existing AT&T phone. Simply pull that SIM card out and put into your Note and you're done. You don't need to activate anything if you already have an active account with AT&T. When you first connect your phone to AT&T, they will know your phone's IMEI right away.

foxbat is correct if you already have an activated ATT SIM card. What you may need to set up is the APN to get the GNote up and running. If you do there are several thread on the APN's, or just ask for help.
This is the APN I am using: EDIT: This is for a 4G LTE SIM card that I also use in my Skyrocket. the 3G APN Is different as foxbat points out.

Please note that Phone APN may not work for everyone. If you already have an AT&T 4G phone, Phone APN will work for you. If you only have a 3G phone, your data plan is not upgraded to 4G plan. And Phone APN won't work for you.
The best APN to use is the old 3G APN called WAP.Cingular. It won't affect your 4G speed, at least not yet, and don't require upgrade your data plan to 4G plan (which is just a phone call away).

good call! I edited my post to include your info. Thanks.

Ok, I'm a little confused. I read the following link on how to get my unlocked note fully functional on AT&T and it stated to go to the AT&T store and get an IMEI number.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437805
So I don't need to do that, I need to activate my sim card and then set up the APN once the account is activated?
Thanks

wap.cingular should max out at 7.2mbps, phone should max at 21mbps

Yes, I'm a little confused on this as well. I just posted a question in that thread, so hopefully, someone can clear things up for us. I have an iphone with at&t, so can I just put my sim card in the note with an adapter, and I should be good to go? I want to make sure I don't lose my grandfathered unlimited data.

You will be very lucky to get HSPA+ anywhere near 7.2mbps. On top of that there are plenty of ppl using wap.cingular reaching 9mbps speed in certain areas.

[HELP] Got AT&T sim into International S3, calling works but data doesn't work

I got an international S3 from India and went to AT&T store to get a micro sim.
Got that installed and then the phone calling works fine but data (internet) doesn't work.
They said they would have to register my phone's IMEI but it still doesn't work. They put in a new APN, and still same. They called their tech and they couldn't help. Their last suggestion was to try calling Samsung, but I had to leave to get to work.
I believe there are already people using International version with AT&T for the S3. So any ideas what could be wrong?
Thanks!

Try factory resetting your phone. Other than that, make sure you have the $10/month data plan (unlimited messaging required) or the $15/month data (no messaging required). To do that you'll have to call into customer care and say you have an unlocked non-smartphone. If you go into the store to do this they'll give you the more expensive internet because they'll see you have a smartphone. If you're changing data plans it CAN take 24-48 hours for it to be effective, although it usually doesn't take that long. After that's done go into Settings, More Settings (under Wireless and Network settings), Mobile Networks, and then Access Point Names. Make sure there is an Access Point Name titled "Cingular 410". If there isn't then press Menu, and then "+ New APN". The settings should look like this:
Name: Cingular 410
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
User name: [email protected]
My Password field is auto-filled, so I don't have that. Try leaving it blank, but if that doesn't work call customer care and get that information.
Server: cingulargprs.com
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: Not set
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: Not set
APN type: default,supl,mms
APN protocol: IPv4
Enable/disable APN: Checked (this field is grayed out for me, but it is checked)
Bearer: Unspecified
This should fix it. The only thing I'm unclear on is the Password part.

Password is (all caps): CINGULAR1

Well now my SIM is completely unregistered, can't even make calls. Operator asked me to go to the store and get a new SIM Card.
So, this won't work without the switch to the non-smartphone data plan? It is going to be hard to pull off when I am in the store.

It should work just fine on the smartphone data plan, and you should be able to switch to the non smartphone data plan afterwards.

Ok, thanks. What should I tell the AT&T store people today when I go in the evening?
It feels like they did something on the account to screw it up. Would it help to suggest that they get this working on an AT&T HTC OneX and then transfer the SIM to my phone?

It could be that you have a defective SIM card. Take it one step at a time. Replace the SIM card. Make sure you have functionality with other services (such as voice and messaging). Check all the APN settings to make sure those are correct. Make sure you have a data plan for AT&T.

I'm on another carrier but I had the same problem at first, only phone call and sms working. I had to change my APN for the Data to work.

What are the APN settings you input, did you save and select it afterwards?
EDIT: Check the settings in the screenshots on the first posts of this thread, yours should match.

Thanks, I went back to the store. We got my original S2 working and this time switched to micro sim without making any IMEI/etc changes and it worked.
Anyone know what extra steps need to be taken to get the voicemail working?

Straight Talk question..

I am on ST using At&t Sim, however I just received my N4 2 days ago and would like to switch to a T-Mobile Sim(which I have from ST). My question is this can I switch in the middle of my monthly plan? I have tried to call them to ask but no luck. I saw am option on their website but don't want to do it of its not the correct procedure. Any one ?

I asked this same question recently:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018738
I haven't attempted yet but it sounds like you can access your account from their website and activate the T-Mobile SIM from there, thereby continuing your current service.

I cannot get Straight with T-Mobile to work, can anyone share their working APN settings, I have tried the ST website and it doesnt work.... I've been on hold with them for over 30 minutes... maybe you guys can help me quicker.

I had a similar issue yesterday although it was with an AT&T sim. I tried every single APN setting imaginable and my data still would not work, whereas calls and texts worked perfectly fine. I tried calling customer service but they did not help -- they wanted to troubleshoot my settings but I was using my ST phone to call them so I couldn't. Instead, I opened a support ticket through Facebook (facebook.com/StraightTalkWireless), click Support -- or e-mail them). They responded by saying "Changes have been made to the account, please turn your phone off and on to update." My data magically worked. It took a few hours for them to respond, but if you try a bunch of APN settings and nothing works, try that.

Anyone noticed that AT&T MVNO is getting restrictions?

My Net10 AT&T is getting weird behaviors... Can't access the Internet, if it does, it keep redirecting to 1.2.3.50, and sometimes it tells you to sign into network...
How about straight talk? Anyone notice anything?

No issues on ST At&t for me.

None for me either (ST AT&T).

I'm having the same problem with my net10 at&t on my note II. On the net10 forums there a a few post about it but the mods are pming the people directly. You have to have more than five post to use the pm service. I've been on hold with net 10 for an hour and a half and I contacted them on the website.

Yes, I switched to Net10 last week and I started getting the "Sign into network AT&T" notification yesterday afternoon. I have GT-i9300 so its a BYOP issue, not a Nexus issue. As stated above its posted all over the Net10 forums but their customer service is being less than helpful. MMS has not worked at all since I switched from StraightTalk and now data is not working at all.
UPDATE:
After sitting on the phone for 2 hours with Net10 customer service here is what I know: They told me that since my current location (work) is not the same area as the zip code which I registered my phone (home) that the priority is downgraded on the towers. I asked to change my registered location but I was told that it is locked to the SIM and that I would have to cancel my current SIM plan and have them ship me a new one in 3-5 days. Ridiculous. However the following steps have seemed to work (have not lost data connectivity for ~an hour).
1) If you are not sure your APN settings are correct, double check them
NAME: net10
APN: tfdata
MMSC: http://mms-tf.net
MMS PROXY: mms3.tracfone.com
MMS PORT: 80
http://www.net10sim.com/support.php
Once you are confident you APN settings are correct DO NOT TOUCH THEM AGAIN. DO NOT EVEN OPEN APN SETTINGS. If you even open the APN menu it seems to trigger a reset of your network connection, even if you discard any changes. Once the connection resets you have no data ("Sign into network AT&T" message). I assume this has something to do with AT&T network authentication and/or queue priority.
2) Power your phone off and leave it off for at least 60 seconds (and take out the battery - why not, it cant hurt.) I believe this prolonged shutdown is long enough for all your connection info to be dropped from the tower.
3) Boot your phone back up and HOPEFULLY your connection will be properly restored.
Again, once your data connection is restored do not even browse into the APN settings as this appears to de-authenticate your data.

I called Net10 today the guy slipped and told me its a 1.5GB cap and he said they apologize because it suppose to refresh on March 1,2013... he refreshed my network and everything .. sad part im using a samsung galaxy note 2 and the only that works on the network is facebook now aint that a B*tc$... Forgot to say the Internet Doesn't work at all only thing working is Facebook Application and Google Voice other then that Nothing works.. I was on the phone for 1 hour before I got a Reference code to give it 24 hours and call back.. now Net10 really needs to shutdown for sucky customer and network service support... Atleast Tmobile and At&t pretended they cared. This started happening yesturday and I also get the sign into network as a notification.. Net10 really needs to pay their cell phone tower BILLS

I am using a NET10 AT&T microsim from the BYOP kit.
I was getting the same error you are getting, this is how you fix it.
i had to call the tech support number and get them to change me over to these settings.
this is what my net10 settings for APN are...
without it set like this I would get a weird "sign in to network" message every time my phone booted. and I would get no data connection.

I had to call tech support to get those settings. The girl on the phone said she made some change to my account...not sure what she was talking about but when I plugged in the above apn settings it started working.

I just had this issue on ST AT&T BYOP iPhone 5 factory unlocked stock 6.1.4.
Using the new tfdata APN that has been provided by ST since 6/15. The legacy att.mvno doesn't work at all any more for me.
Toggling airplane mode resolved the issue.

Like Andromed0 I have received the message twice this week.I am also using the newer APN ST settings. I have tried the "toggle Airplane Mode" and will see what happens.

Verizon Galaxy S5 Moved/ported over to Straight Talk - NO DATA CONNECTION **SOLVED**

So, I will start by giving information that is hopefully relevant.
I moved from Verizon to Straight Talk w/ a Straight Talk SIM card for Verizon towers. My phone is rooted, and bootloader unlocked (15 emmc).
I am currently using a custom ROM CM13 (Official Build Nightlies current ROM is from 4-27-2016)
I started Straight talk about 1 week ago, and ported my number over to ST with a sim card I bought from Amazon for Verizon Towers.
When a person starts ST they give you a free 5 day trial, then you start your monthly payments. Everything was fine during the 5 day trial, I HAD data and it was connecting at 4G/LTE speeds (Mobile Network Icon displayed "Verizon"). Then, when the trial ended and my refill card kicked in, I lost all data connection. Absolutely NO internet. In fact, the mobile network icon in the status bar (pull down menu) displayed "No Service," I then called ST customer service, they were able to get me connected but only at 3G speeds (However the mobile network Icon still displayed "No Service." I have coverage in this area I live in for 4G/LTE as I used it in this area for 2 years when I was with Verizon. The CS rep (who was a supervisor) then tried to get me connected at 4G. Long story short, they could not get me connected, in fact I lost data again. (I should mention that at this time I can still place and recieve calls as well as send and receive text messages.) The CS rep then contacted Verizon and now they are sending me a new SIM card. My question is, What is the difference between the CM13 Unofficial VS Official Build? Could this be affecting my DATA connection? The unofficial builds can be found in the Galaxy S5 Verizon Development Threads. Can't remember where I found the official builds, but is the official Cyanogenmod site. I do have the link, but I don't have enough posts to show. Could I possibly be using the wrong ROM? Or is it something on Straight Talks side? Or have I missed something? Could this problem be a symptom of using the DEV Bootloader unlock method for Samsung 15 emmc? I would appreciate some insight on this. I should be receiving my new SIM hopefully in a few days or by the beginning of next week so I can update more when that comes. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Response is very much appreciated, unfortunately for some reason these APN settings do not work, ("No Service" is displayed with no signal bars under the mobile network icon in the pull down menu from the status bar) I have tried other various APN settings from random forums, and youtube. None have worked. Maybe my SIM card is corrupted possibly? I guess I will have to wait and see when Str8 Talk sends me my new SIM card. Will update/post new info when I know more. Thanks.

funny you should say that, today I don't have data or a signal at all (at work). I'll report back if that changes at home later today. It could be a sim issue or just a straight talk issue.

Interesting, glad to know I'm not the only one in this situation. Thanks. I will be sure to update this post as well when I know more. Thanks.

so the way I finally fixed it was to reload CM13 and use the last APN to edit with my settings and not delete the others. Don't know why it mattered but I'm up and running
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Yeah, tried editing the last APN as you suggested, still nothing. However I can connect to the tower (still with "No Service" indication) to receive phone calls and mms. But still no data. My new SIM card arrives in the mail 2 moro. Hopefully that is the issue.

If you're unable to edit the APN settings, I'd think that it was a faulty SIM card. Keep us notified, I'd be glad to help if possible.

Well, I am able to edit my APN settings, just the settings I have tried from XDA and other random forums/youtube/etc. just have not been working. As I have mentioned I am receiving my new SIM from Str8Talk 2moro, so hopefully a faulty SIM is the issue. Thanks for all the responses everyone, and I will keep everyone updated.

This is what worked for me. I am running daily CM13and been very happy. I edited the last APN entry and it saved fine.

Well received my new SIM card. Apparently the old SIM wasn't letting me connect to the towers. Old SIM card displayed "No Service" under the Mobile Network icon. I called CS they activated my new SIM. New SIM card displayed "Verizon Wireless." However I still wasn't able to get data. They then escalated the ticket. After I hung up the phone I tried these APN settings:

These worked, not sure if the previously mentioned APN settings would of worked as I did not try them with my new SIM card. It could very well be that those APN settings would of worked too. So, long story short I'm thinking the original SIM I used became corrupted somehow. Not sure how that could of happened but everything is functioning properly. I then called ST CS and had them close my ticket before they made any more changes to my account from their side. Thanks to all who replied to this thread.

Thought I would provide another update... For some reason the APN settings for TRACFONE.VZWENTP stopped working today. Called straight talk and got data working again using the VZWINTERNET apn setting. So weird. Not sure why I'm updating this thread but I thought it was important? LOL probably not, because straight talk seems to be a Sh** storm. LOL IM GOING CRAZY!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeee

APN not working for me
Hello, I had straight talk last year on my unrooted verizon samsung galaxy s5 and had no problems with the apn settings. I rooted my phone about 2 months ago using this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370. Today I decided to reactivate my straight talk service and I have tried multiple apns and none of them seem to work. Also the apn on this forum wouldn't even save on my phone. Any idea on what i should do? Maybe I need a new sim card?

Update, i finally got my data working. I had to use a new sim card as well. I am currently using the verizon CDMA sim card that came in the byop pack. Been having some issues receiving text and mms messages tho and the apn used is what is on this forum since it is compatible with the sim without making any changes.

Have GS4 using on Straight Talk VZW towers but have been unable to get 4G working 3G is doing ok. Was changing apn settings to this post and also noticed that i am unable to input manually the APN type....options being (Internet+MMS) (Internet) and (MMS)
may be a bad sim as well but just wanted to chime in and see if anyone had run into similar issues.
Thanks in advance!!

I would just try to talk to Straight Talk about it, it could be the sim card, or it could be the phone number you currently have. I just reactivated my service hoping no one else had my number but they did which had ended that person's service, which was why i was having a difficult time receiving text and mms. Now that i have a new number and used a new sim card everything works fine. I also can't manually change the Verizon apn but so far i have no need to change it.

Same issues but I have a Galaxy Sky Pro. Straight talk and verizon towers. Tried changing APN, NO luck. It will only let me change my APN, NOTHING ELSE????? It is a straight talk phone???? HELP!
