wanted a way to hack sim 4 free gprs plzzzzz

hello ppl. im from india i guess ul know that i use the xda 2.please tell me a way to activate class b gprs for free since here the orange phone company rips us off by charging 15 $ for 30 days . please let me know a sim hack or a tweak to get free gprs please....

Yeah and while your at it how do I get free electricity and gas because those utility companies charge for their services too.

Yeah and don't forget I want to call for free because it's to expensive and I want a free car, free Internet access and uhm.. I want everything for free because I think they all rip us off damn.. hehehe

Do I have to pay for using gprs on my htc 8525?

Hi guys, i just bought a htc 8525 and just installed google map. I dont know why i could use google map really fast and it showed that i used gprs to access google map. So my question is Do I have to pay anything for using gprs? thank you very much.

Big YES... GPRS service ISN'T free... Depends on your carrier what the charges are... In Australia its a Lovely $15/MB (fom Telstra) according to some anonymous person on the end of the telephone line..
It REALLY bites as we hear about lovely unlimited plans in the US and elsewhere while we have to promise the souls of our unborn children just to update the freaking weather...
Cheers...

yup.... thats a lovely looking dialer u have on your phone! but if u use it (to make calls)... u pay for it!
Same goes with gprs too! But yes, it depends on 2 factors - 1) where u live, and 2) the plan u are under!

Service Contract Suspended w T Mobile

My contract is over but i still have outstanding fees. So until i finish paying off the balance i assume my Sim is NO good to me?
I have ABSOLUTELY enjoyed the Android OS!!! But now my phone is just a paperweight. I have no plans of reactivating service w T Mobile due to what i feel is just simply too costly for my current budget.
My reason for posting is i want to ask what can i do besides sell the phone. Can I root it and maybe still get a browser to work on it?
What would YOU do if ya had a spare G1

Pay your bill even if you don't want to keep using their service -- they'll attack your CREDIT RATING otherwise, and that will contribute to the bank declining your MORTGAGE APPLICATION one day.
The thing has wifi and VoIP clients. Make a perfectly good phone (and everything else you know it does) for when you have access to wifi networks.

I felt led to do a factory reset assuming it would sell as soon as i mentioned i was ready to part with it. But as it stands no one is serious enough to hand out cash.
So now I'm stuck at the Touch the android screen unable to log the phone into G mail and i cant get back to my desktop.
can i bypass this login?

anyone have an idea?

Ya search the forum for a thread called "Register your G1 without a sim or data plan". Search first!!!!!

OK nabbed a friends sim with a data plan and got the phone back on. had to give em his sim back. SOOOOO now what can i do with this Phone with no service. its at a fresh factory reset.

just use wifi...download games

OR! Get google voice and use your phone as an actual phone with free minutes and free texting as long as you're around wifi.
edit: and listen to lbcoder. there are many other payments you may have that you can actually get an extension on without it hurting credit. i doubt cell phone companies do this.
another edit: i don't think above will work. worth a try, though.

im looking into getting a cheap wifi router so i can still play with phone

Internet is Free - because Radio is Free - Therefore I have free Internet on my....

Hello.
Did you guys know that you can get the internet from boost mobile for 35 cents a day here in the USA? That's about $3.50 a month.
But actually, I don't have to pay for that. For some reason my phone has the internet whether I pay for it or not. It's an older phone so I don't usually use it, but sometimes I do and it comes in handy.
Has anyone else experienced this? I was seeing people saying they had this for T-Mobile but I didn't see anyone mention it on boost mobile. It makes sense though because those radio waves are pretty much in the air everywhere all the time whether we have access through them or not. It's just a matter of setting up the router/modem to access them.
Peace!

how do you get boost mobile internet for 35 cents a day?

The option is available on the boost mobile website under my account and plans. Just select the prepaid option. What I like to do is have two phones. I use a smart phone and get the internet through boost and then use another phone for regular calling. But you can use internet calling and texting too if you want to save money and only have one phone. Just get the internet through boost for 35 cents a day then go and get skype or some other internet calling and sms and use that through your boost internet. Works great u can get away with $10 a month for unlimited everything if you do it right.

Would it be possible to set up the boost phone as a mobile hotspot for my smartphone?

as long as your smartphone has that capability yes. I'm working on getting my touch pro 2 set up that way. You might need to download some cab files for it, drivers, software, etc... to enable the specific type of connection that you want. Generally the carriers who originally sold the phone don't want you to do things like this (because they don't get as much money) so they take things like that out of the phone or restrict them in any way that they can.

wait so would I be able to get Boost Mobile internet on my non-boost mobile phone? I have AT&T and an HTC Inspire 4G...So could I have all my AT&T service, but then have Boost for internet?

as far as I know this is possible, but may or may not be possible with your particular phone so you will need to check and see on that... but easier said than done. Check out this website article if you really wanna know how it works, then you can decide if you want to try : http://bridog.net/cellular/master-subsidy-lock-msl-codes/ (& plz click on an ad or two like I did to show your support for well written easily explained) its a good read but you would probably be better off going with a wifi router that fits in your pocket like the ones sprint or clearwire sells that you can stream internet from up to something like 5 or 8 devices. Or you could get another phone from boost and set up internet sharing and use that phone as your wifi transmitter. There's a lot of options really.
I was looking at the files on my blackberry and trying to get the msl unlock code, but it hasn't been easy for me so far. I thought If I could see what the programming is in the phone I could maybe understand how it does it, but as of now the software is incompatible with my windows 7 and for a second I thought I screwed my phone up as it started to give me an error when i was using a program called CDMA workshop. I just pulled the battery and it came back though thank god.

Actually you're probably not getting it free, the feature is usually enabled but you're not paying premium for data, but you will be billed extra for it.

you know boost mobile is prepaid right? There is no billing for boost mobile lol I'll bet you $100 I get it free

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. You'll pay for it somewhere.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

I may not know or understand and I have a lot to learn (from you maybe if you wanna teach me something ) everything but I put my money where my mouth is on this one. I'm getting free internet from boost mobile!

w00t! I managed to get the MSL for my blackberry by social engineering/tricking the carrier into giving it to me. CAUTION: I just wanna let you guys know that most if not all of those supposed MSL SPC codes for your blackberry or other device are FRAUDULENT AND CONTAIN VIRUSES! Do not download any programs like CDMA WORKSHOP CRACK V2.7 UNICDMA or HEX EDITOR UNLESS YOU WANT A BACK DOOR TROJAN! CALL YOUR SERVICE PROVIDER AND MAKE UP THE EXCUSE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO CUBA OR SOME OTHER PLACE WHERE BOOST MOBILE/SPRINT or OTHER U.S. CARRIER DOESN"T HAVE SERVICE BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS AND YOU NEED YOUR CODE SO YOUR OPERATOR IN THAT COUNTRY CAN REPROGRAM PHONE FOR YOU TO USE WHILE THERE! IT TOOK ME 10 MINUTES!

You do realise that there are about 30 days in a month and at 35 cents a day it would be $3.50 for 10 days. More like $10.50 a month...

I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out. Nice math on the part of the OP haha

Oh yea americans only sorry. Unless you wanna try going to the american embassy and giving that as your address as technically that is America they might give you service if you threaten to sue? Then you could create an international legal drama and be famous and possibly somehow bring down the entire new world order in the process

Online services is the only way and most charge around i thin a 100 for tmobile
metro is a subsidiary of tmobile are they not?
Most carrier devices will allow subsidiary sims in them
biggest thing is black list due to non payment....
This is about the most help you will get since you havnt paid your device off

yes they are. but i tried sticking my metro sim in my tmobile phone and it said "phone not allowed" couldnt make any calls. it said it wasnt on a network or something everytime i tried to make a call.

I've unlocked about 10 phones from T-Mobile, and I'm from Canada. We don't even have T-Mobile ??. I just use a PC running a program called IMEI Gurus LLC Service Tool. They have aan option to specifically unlock T-Mobile for free..

Well they changed it. I know the owner personally and as of 6 months ago it was 110. I pay samkey.com for unlock credits on mobile and it is most def not free.
But that's not the point. The point is pay your device off and they'll do it for free

i havent paid off my device and they put in a request to unlock it. while on the phone with them i got curious and clicked on the t-mobile unlock app, ticked on perm unlock and it worked. restarted the phone and it has since been unlocked. the unlock app disappeard and everything. the only thing is now that when i stick a metro sim i get the error MM and when i try and make a call it says it is not on a registered network. ill take it up to metro and see whats up. i appreciate all the comments.

just stuck the sim from my work phone (sprint iphone) and it tried to go through the motions of setting it up but it wouldnt finish. im thinking it is the phone itself. sucks.
