Hi,
I am thinking of buying S3. I currenly have S2 (Black I9100 International Version) and I am currenly on Unlimited Data Plan (Non Smartphone). I am thinking of having the same data plan on my S3 I9300 International Version. Which version of S3 is not flagged by AT&T ? in case I9100 it was the white I9100 that was flagged as a blackberry device.
Thanks,
Satish.
It would be nice if someone could reply.
Thanks,
Satish.

I have a blue German vodofone i9300 I got from a third party seller at Amazon. Using unlimited $10 internet from ATT for 2 months now. No problems.
Any i9300 will work on the current plan you use for your i9100.

I am interested in the International Model (more development and better specs).
I know what you're trying to do, I did the same thing with my i9100. Got the unlimited dumb phone plan. It worked for a few months, but then they somehow detected I had the Galaxy S II, so they throttled me so bad I thought it was worse than GPRS speeds.

were you using a lot of data when you were on MediaNet ie. unlimited plan ? I mean I heard some people using 10-30 GB.
I've been using my i9100 for a year now averaging about 12gb of data per month getting between 6-8mbps. Never been throttled.
Edit, just checked it I averaged 14gb the past 10 months, yet to be throttled.

I have an IPAD with $30 unlimited plan. On the 21st ATT is releasing their version of the Galaxy. Can I use my simm off the IPAD on the Galaxy. Now that would be kick ass...
Thanks
If you use an adapter, it should be just fine, though AT&T might be tracking the IMEI numbers of their version of the Tab to prevent this.
Apple kickbacks are sort of helping cover the costs of that plan, and you can bet Apple won't be too happy to see it used on non-Apple devices.
AT&T has said they are going to offer the same "iPad" data plans on the Galaxy Tab, so they probably wouldn't care if you swapped SIMs.

Yeah, but I think he's got one of the old plans they're no longer offering.
Micro. I just bought a tab. Put my Att berry sim. It did not work. Also, I couldn't connect to iPhone or iPad running my-wi.
WTH
R u saying you can't use tethering the Tab & iPhone? There is a post on how to use Ad-hoc wireless on the tab and it works. Either in this sub-forum or the General one.
I just picked up an AT&T Galaxy Tab and it works fine with the iPad sim. No need to change the APN either. I'm using a grandfathered $30/mo unlimited plan too.

I was wondering the same too...i put my att ipad sim in my rooted att tab and data does not work. Dont know much about roms but im told this is a euro rom. The tab hands down is a cooler devivce and i would love to use it with my ipad sim...any help would be appreciated
Ipad uses a MICROSIM
Tab uses a plain SIM
You will have to get an adapter.
Is it possible to switch my SIM card between a T-Mobile smartphone (Vibrant) and the Galaxy Tab or does it have to provisioned specifically for the Tab?
Didnt work for me.

Unfortunately, i can't say about USA and their contracts and activations and whatevers (which is your case), in case of Europe the answer is of couse yes, you can switch SIMs as you wish, as there is no direct link between the SIM card and any device.
Yes you can. I switch between my nexus and galaxy tab. But that's just me. If you can get the data plan from your phone working on your tab then your golden. Don't ask how I did it though.

Negative, in order for the tab to connect using 3G, it has to have a "webconnect" data plan like the usb stick that you use with laptops. This is different from the data plan that the vibrant has. I was in TMo earlier today to buy a Tab and asked, there was a rep there that personally tried to do the same thing. I didn't buy the tab though, I'm not sure if I want to pay for data on 2 devices ocnsidering I may not use 3G on the Tab much. Maybe I'll wait for the wifi only.

On which version of tab? I am thinking to buy the AT&T version of Tablet if I can use my smartphone SIM from X10. I intend to use tablet only with WiFi 99% of the time. But would like to have the flexibility to use smartphone SIM while on travel/vacation.
u should be able too
Europe, Hungary
SIM cards can be swapped freely between the tab and a regular phone. Service limitations may occur depending on the SIM card inserted.
I use my tab as a work phone too, and I've got a data plan with a voice plan by definition a smart phone plan. Works great
Hi -
I currently have the AT&T version, but was thinking about making the jump to the International version. There is definately more activity from a development standpoint for the International version.
Can I use the International one on AT&T? Is there any know issues I should be aware of prior to doing this? For example, can I still get H+?
Thanks.

Are you talking about switching to a Galaxy S II 9100?
Tons of people are using them in the states before the AT&T versions were announced/released. I believe they are nearly identical in terms of network/band support (shy of the LTE model Skyrocket)
Yes. I would switch the at&t Samsung galaxy s II to the international version i9100.
I thought people had issues getting h+ to work though.
I'm guessing I should just be able to move the similar card over.
Thanks

You shouldn't have any problems; I've been using the international version on AT&T for 6 months. The only area where you might have some issues is with ROMs -- a ROM package made for the AT&T version probably won't work on the international version.
It works perfectly well, just a warning if you purchase the white model. Att recognizes the imei as a blackberry for some reason. I had to call them four times and push them until they finally let me keep the media net plan.

I've been using the international version on AT&T since July. Only problem is that it drops signal after a phone call and randomly at other times. It come right back up tho. I don't know if this is due to my area or what or even my phone singularly.

I have been using the GT-I9100 for a few months now without issue, it was a little rough at first trying to get the correct APN provisioned but after dealing with a Supervisor who had half a clue I was able to have the correct APN provisioned and things have been great ever since.
However, since you already have a Galaxy S2 at&t has already provisioned your account with correct APN, so you should be good to go form that perspective.
I really like the GT-I9100 and am really happy with it, I came back from London on the 20th and played with a Galaxy Nexus while I was over there. Very impressive phone but not a major step up from the SGS2 IMHO, added to that I believe that ICS on the SGS2 is going to be pretty slick as the Exynos/Mali combo is just as good or maybe even slightly better than the TI OMAP/Power VR combo on the GNex.

I'm a grandfathered $30 unlimited data subscriber. Is the only thing I would need to do is move the SIM from current AT&T Galaxy S II to the International i9100? Will I need to call customer service to have them switch anything?
Thanks.

Nothing at all. I bought the internationAl the day it was released in the UK. I pulled the Sim from my inspire placed it in my gs2. Rooted about 15 minutes later and haven't had an issue yet. Play with apns depending on your area. I have had little success with major gains but mainly due to living in the major tristate area(too many users)
Edit: don't call and give them your imei. It changes nothing and has changed nothing with my acct
Shouldn't be hard to find the AT&T APN online. I did it with Virgin. When I installed a rom using full wipe, it erased APN. Same as getting a new phone really. A quick google search and manual APN inputs and I was back. You shouldn't need to do it though...first time I booted my phone up after I bought it, it picked the service up instantly.

That simple, remove the sim from your current phone (I777) and insert it into your new phone (GT-I9100) and you should be good to go.
I am also Grandfathered into the Unlimited Plan and to date have had zero issues.
One warning, if you plan on buying the White GT-I9100, that seems to come up in at&t Mobility's system as a Blackberry and the computer will try and provision your account for Blackberry use.
Dan
Great responses all! Appreciate the input.
I was only planning to buy the black one. Not having much luck on Ebay right now...
Thanks.
I am thinking of buying a China phone. It does have AT&T WCDMA and GSM bands.
I am concerned that when I put in my SIM the new IMEI may trigger AT&T to make my
unlimited feature phone data ($10 mo) jump to a smartphone plan.
Anyone have experience bringing a China Smartphone onto AT&T and getting the Dreaded
"AUTOmatic Upgrade to 4GB a month plan" sms from AT&T? Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

Plus it won't work in the usa. Only on 2100mhz for 3G
hi
Thank you for this valuable training.
I will be getting the GT-9500 even with out LTE so that it will work on my AT&T unlimited data plan.
That and from what I seen with both of my Verizon LTE phones or 3 if you count a replacement LTE for phone use over 5mbs 3g is not that big of a deal unless you are going to tether the living crap out of it or download ton's of stuff to your phone with a unlimited data plan.
But I also hate having to "fix" branded phone's full of junk ware. I would like to just have a phone that you don't have to flash a rom just to tether, because the one on the phone sucks thanks to verizon/AT&T putting theres on it or other issues that come with it.
Now is any one else going to do this?
The International Galaxy S2 (i9100) is pretty much one of the only Android phones that still works on the MediaNet plan.
The International Galaxy S3 and the International HTC One X have been swept a long time ago. I am sure it will be the same with the S4.
Sorry to say, but you will probably get put on a smartphone plan not long after you put in your microSIM card.

Dang it, well it looks like I will have to get the Verizon S4 then at full or cross upgrade. Thanks for the heads up, could have had a 500 dollar data bill or more.
I was using the i-9300 S3 on AT&T's medianet plan for a while and never got flagged. This was last year though. I just don't see the point when I have their LTE everywhere.
I have been on the unlimited 3g for $10 pan on 3 smartphones now. Most recently the S3 i9300 for 9 months. Never got flagged.
Not 5 hours after putting my SIM into my brand new i9500 S4 did I receive an email saying I was 'upgraded' to a smartphone data plan. That really sucks.
Anyone know how to fix it? If there is a fix. A different APN? Spoofing a non-smart imei number?
If not I can't justify the unsubsidized price of the octacore version and pay $20 more a month in data....

Is this an IMEI thing or a microsim thing?
I know AT&T supposedly does sweeps by IMEI, but it's just weird that it only seems that phones that use MicroSims are the ones that are affected.
Anybody try cutting their old regular SIM card to see if they still got flagged?
^ I know that's kinda a stupid question, but it's just weird that Micro Sim phones seems to be the phones that get flagged...

Wow.. That's interesting. I've been using my international i9100 since almost launch, and I've been fine. *knock on wood*
I was thinking about upgrading to the i9300 just because I've seen many say that they used the i9300 with no problems.
I'd much rather go i9500, but it appears that EVERYONE gets dinged as soon as they put their new Sim on those.
Also anyone know about Canadian phones?
I've been using a Bell Atrix since launch on and off with no problems too.
TIA for any help!...
