I have a client that asked me this.
They bought an unlocked At&t Tilt from ebay and put there immix sim card in. The phone works but she decided to add a data plan. Immix asked them for some sort of number. 1st i'm curious... will the tilt work in there data plan? Anything special to getting this to work? I've never used immex before. Anyone have any ideas?
I've never seen anyone try this either but i would think it would be possible. Anyone have any incite at all or guess?
First thing, are you sure they even have a data plan? I checked the website and didn't see any...
I thought the same thing, but she called. they needed some sort of number. She thought a ip address. That shouldn't be though as it should be assigned when you go online.
Are you sure it's not asking for an unlock code?

they gave her a pin number... But the phone was susposed to be unlocked already... or would there carrrier have to unlock it? I haven't tried this yet. I'll have to talk to her more about it...
The phone didn't ask for the unlock. Her carrier when she called about a data plan said she needed some sort of ip which doesn't make sense to me.
Doesn't make sence to me either. Seems to me they gave you some kinda weird code.. Why not call back and see? Ask her for more information.

I will on Monday (tomorrow) as they are closed for the weekend.
Yeah got me lost.
Update on this. The carrier signed her up for the wrong plan. The carrier though doesn't sell and mobile windows phones so wasn't sure if it would work. It did, and the customer is happy with a At&t tilt using another carrier "immix"

well i lent my friend my mda while i was in class and i guess he was trying to get onto the internet, he accidentally deleted the data connection. when he meant to tap connect.
How do i get it back? all help is appreciated
it is a t-mobile data connection. thanks
anyone??? i really need help with this i have no clue as to how to get it back
Just call your phone provider and they will talk you through adding it again.
so thats the only possible way to get back my connection???
What provider? Cingular or T-Mobile?
im with t-mobile i really want this connection back. im paying for the total internet package and cant use it.
i would call but the account is not under my name. so when i call i dont really remember the personal info such as ss# etc.
Hopefully your account is legal as it doesn't sound normal that you would have a paying account, but no access to customer service (as you have to know who's name it is under i would presume).
I'll help this time, but this really sounds like your using a hot phone...
If you're using T-Mobile US then follow the instructions here: http://tmobileusotw.wdsglobal.com/
oh. nahh im using a good phone, its not a hot phone, its jus that my mother put it under her name for me but me and her had a major argument AFTER the connection was deleted and i didnt really wanna ask her anything.
trust me the phone aint stolen.
thanks for the link though

Well don't be so quick to assume. T-Mobile will ask for ssn or security question. You can't do anything even if you have the contractor's name. But support will give the link without needing any of that.

I was assuming simply because it would seem strange to me that he would have an active phone and not know the person's information who's it is under. If he did i would assume calling them up and saying "Hey i need you to be on the line while i call T-Mobile" wouldn't be unrealistic. His reason is one i can understand, but that wasn't given prior to my response and was why i reasoned that way.
Sorry if i offended anyone.
Did the link fix your problem?
okay,i have a family plan with my dad.

I think you said:
1. I am on a family plan with my dad on Alltel.
2. Even though my dad pays for my cell phone service, I call him rude names.
3. I have moved to a location that Alltel does not serve.
4. I would like to activate my phone with Sprint service, which presumably is available in my new location.
Does Alltel allow you to use roaming service in your new location? Did your dad deactivate your phone? Maybe you could try respectfully asking him about that...
If you activate service with a different carrier, you will not be on your dad's family plan anymore. That probably means you will have to pay for your own cell phone service, but does not give you permission to call him more rude names. You can try activating the phone with Sprint, but usually they will only accept phones that were originally sold for Sprint service and the ESN (unique phone serial number) is on their list.
i still pay the bill cause its under my name first of all!!!
and yes hes an asshole,cause he tried to beat up my three month old kid!!
how can i get that password?
1. if its in YOUR name and YOU pay the bill why cant YOU call sprint and activate it ?
2. Pops sounds like a loon if he did try to fight an infant.
Here are the Facts:
You cannot hack service into your phone if it has been deactivated...
You cannot retrieve the password unless your dad speaks it to you or you locate it elsewhere...
You cannot activate your account via Alltel, Sprint, etc without your dad's relevant information...
You cannot utilize a device in a area that is not supported by your device's carrier services...
You can likely switch your service on your device to another, however... it will not be easy...
You can likely get a phone activated into your own name and free yourself from parental obligation...
And you most likely need to keep your kids away from your dad if he is abusive...
thanx again for all your help,it just sucks having a cool phone with a whole lot of apps and no service :/

If the account is under your name and you pay the bill, call Alltel and get them to reset the password.
OR, if the account is under your name and you pay the bill, close the account and open a new one without your dad on it.
Really????
Are you kidding, this has nothing to do with the Titan and everything to do with needing Dr. Phil. I believe you are in the wrong forum my friend.

yup, things we don't need to know for $200 Alex.
1) We don't want to hear about your family problems, this is an XDA forum.
2) We don't want to see posts denegrating other people, again, the XDA forum thing.
3) We'd love to answer your questions, if you are up front with all of the details in your OP.
As far as I can tell, you still aren't giving us the details. I'd say, but the looks of your posts, you are trying to scam your Father. Otherwise, you'd be able to change the password on "your" account because it is in "your" name, and "you" pay for it.
Something isn't quite right with your story.
Is there anybody that would be able to call T-Mobile to get me the Unlock Code for my Samsung Vibrant, if I give them my IMEI.
I had my phone unlocked and for some reason it randomly locked up again.
I would call T-mobile myself, but I am not with them and I live in Canada.
If anyone could help me that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!
T-Mobile gives former eligible customers free unlock codes.

Unfotunately I don't think it will work. The phone has to have been registered on the users account, meaning the user must have put their sim in the phone before, or there has to be proof that exact phone with the IMEI was purchased from T-Mobile by the account holder.
But luckily for you, if you were a T-mobile customer in the past, and you did in fact use that Vibrant on their network, they will provide you the unlock code again.
For your reference
http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm51885.xml
"T-Mobile will provide the SIM Unlock Code upon request to eligible former customers, provided that T-Mobile has such code or can obtain it from the manufacturer. "
Who knows though, might work, if you are willing to find someone to try it for you.
Yeah i am pretty sure the person who had the phone before wad with t mobile, so it should be fine. I just need someone who is with t mobile to call in for me since i am not with tmobile.
There was an app in the app store that'll give you the unlock code. That's how I unlocked mine. Check the market as it was a free app.

You don't need to even bother with that. Use this thread to fix the unlock. This will make it more permanent. Hopefully. It worked for me on two different devices. Cheers!
Thanks for the responses..
Yeah I unlocked my phone myself a month ago and for some reason It became locked again randomly. Dont know why... I just dont want to go through all that work again, and have it happen again... If I get the Sim Unlock code then it wont be a problem, and I can just put in the # again. When I originally tried to get the number through the SGS Unlocker it just gave me 8 zeros, so that method dident work.
The computer that I am using does not have all the drivers and crap and it is not my computer so I do not want to load everything on it.
If anyone with T-Mobile dosent mind calling for me that would be greatly appreciated.

The problem is you can't use the sim unlock code once you have gone through this process that they would send you. If you went through that process, then the code is whatever you set. If you don't remember what that number is, then you will have to do it all over again.
It is not that i do.not remember. I put in eight zeros in. But some everything was reset and it is locked again. I tried the eight zeros and it sosent work. I think i used a different nethod. I did not use the batch files. I used adb and edited the nv data. I am pretty sure if i were to get the sim unlock from t.mobile it will work. I dident choose 0000000 as a sim code it just told me to enter that in the instructions.

The problem is that number replaced the old msl. So you have no choice.
What do you mean Msl?
Msl = master subsidy lock aka unlock code
I bought this sprint s4 online that is currently activated under previous owner. I have no longer any contact with previous owner and want to deactivate this somehow.
How can I deactivate it so it is no longer working under previous owner's number?
Im about halfway through the domestic sim unlock guide but am now wondering if this will even do what im hoping.
If I unlock the phone will that do the trick? If not how can I deactivating vate this phone?
In fact it should work with the domestic unlock. I know this because I still have Sprint service.on my GS4 and I did the domestic unlock. Then after I popped in my brothers Cricket (GSM) Sim card and I was able to make calls amdnsend texts all with his own personal number.

Seems like you may have to get in contact with the previous owner and have him deactivate it. I mean otherwise people would be able to steal other people phones and just deactivate them. Its a security thing. Unless im misunderstanding your question i dont think its something you can do by yourself.

I can no longer get in touch with previous owner which is why im asking for help.
Stealing I guess would be one reason, the other being ppl like me who buy phones not properly deactivated. Thanks for reading

If you plan on using the phone for a carrier other than sprint like a carrier that uses gsm. If you can successfully do the unlock you can use the phone.
thanks
still haven't been successful with the unlock but trying again now...
but now i'm wondering, does anyone know if after I do the unlock, and flash a new custom rom (that is not stock) will I lose the unlock or will it activate itself on the Sprint network again?
I really only want to use this phone for wifi/car-radio. i think i reverted to stock without a modem and it did not activate itself on the Sprint network. But after i flashed a new custom rom it then began activating itself on Sprint again.
Does anyone have any insight on this?
I just bought a galaxy s5 off craigslist and verified the imei # on swappa.com and it said it was ready to activate. But it turns out it's still on someone's account. I don't think it's stolen cause the guy at sprint said the last name on the account was the same as the person that sold it to me. It didn't have a SIM card in it so I couldn't tell it was still activated.
So is there anyway I can still unlock it and use it with verizon cause the girl I bought it from keeps acting like she is getting it removed but the account is in her grandmothers name and she is really sick

A Sprint S5 will not work on Verizon, so even if you could unlock it while it's still activated on a Sprint account, it wouldn't do you any good.
Unless the person you bought it from is willing to refund your money, you're stuck with a phone you can't use.

Damn. We'll is there anything I can do to make it able to be activated on any network so I can sell it and hopefully get my money back? Other than just selling for parts witch I might end up having to do anyway
well she deactivated the phone and I got the MSL code from sprint and Verizon says they can activate it if I got it flashed to Verizon's software but now the problem is version dosent flash phones

You would also need the IMEI number to be entered into Verizon's system in order to access their CDMA network, and Verizon does not add non-Verizon phones to their system for that.
If she deactivated the phone, I would just sell it.
I have a similar problem with my galaxy S5 from sprint. I was told from 2 different sprint call center people that with the MSL code (which I already got) the phone can be used with another domestic company and also international.
From that point I started an account with T Mobile, but when I inserted the SIM card into my phone it doesnt recognize it and obiusly have no signal.
Ive tried different methods to get the phone into the GSM frecuency, even accesing to the Hidden Menu and choosing ONLY GSM FREC, tried to add an APN, and now I'm thinking to install a g900t ROM to make it work...
If anyone here can help me out with this or refer me to a thread that could help, I will appreciate that
