[Q] ATT Galaxy Tab with IPAD Sim

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.

AT&T Tab with normal aircard sim

Hey guys,
Still trying to determine which brand of tab i should get. I have a work air-card with an AT&T sim in it. Will this work with the AT&T version of the tab? The sim is supposed to be used in the aii-card so as long as it does not report back to AT&T that it is in a device which it was note designed to be in I'll be fine. The air-card plan does cost more than the normal plan, so i don't think they will complain about this, but just thought i would check.

As far as i could tell no it wont work with the aircard sim with the data feature being a bit dofferent from the one you need that att is selling right now which is the smart phone plans for the galaxy tab

i believe that the tab uses the micro sim. Not %100 sure.

The At&t tab uses a normal sized SIM card so it'll fit. Your aircard plan will work, but if you flash it to make phone calls then you will get charged extra since broadband connect plans do not come with voice allocation.

Just got my galaxy note ... "Insert Sim Card"

Hi guys, I was all excited to get things going on my galaxy note but unfortunately it's not recognizing my sim card. I put in my att gophone sim card, prepaid unlimited $50 plan, and my note will not recognize it. When I insert it, I get an error saying "sim card crash" and in the top right i have some sort of notification that looks like a sim card with an exclamation point in the bottom right. When I go into setting>wireless and network> mobile networks in order to set up the APN settings it says "insert sim card, Insert sim card to access network services". When I insert the sim into my dumphone, it works fine. I saw another poster had a somewhat similar problem but apparently out of the box it worked fine. I got my phone from techno trading house for what its worth.

this might sound stupid, but have you inserted your sim in the right way?
when i first booted up mine, i accidentally inserted the sim in the wrong way because the samsung note takes sim cards in the opposite direction compared to my previous nokias and motorolas.

Check your sim card placement. I had the no sim card issue when I first got my note, checked my sim card placement and I had it in backwards. Turned it around and everything started working. Just a thought.

I have the chipped side to the bottom right as seen in the little diagram.

+1 same issue here with StraightTalk... SIM positioned properly chipped side on the bottom right printed side of the SIM up / contacts below

My tmobile card has chip side close to sim card slot.

I tried that too, but the contacts are well aligned when the chip side in bottom right...

sim card
maybe you should try someone else's sim to see what is says. then go from there.

I'm assuming "just got an att sim" means you opted for a regular plan through att?

Yep that is correct

I currently have an iPhone 3GS under a 2-year plan with ATT. Will my iphone 3GS sim card fit properly into the Galaxy Note N7000? If it does fit, will my GNote operate at HSPA+ 21 with the iPhone sim inserted?

It should. I have a Vodafone 2 year plan and had a Galaxy I and put it into my wifes new SGS 2 and everything worked fine.

you may need a 4G sim and a 4G data plan to access the HSPA+ APN.
Otherwise, regular 3G plan will show you the H+ symbol but may not be getting the full speed

Sim card compalitiblity from infuse to S3

I want to remove the SIM card from my still working Infuse and put it in my s3. The problems is that sim card in the new S3 is about half the size as the older standard Sim card. Do I have to go to the ATT store and have them program a new sim card that fits my S3 with my new number?

i used a micro SIM cutter and cut my existing SIM card to fit in, coming from my atrix. just wanted to try it. i could connect to network but could not get data. so i just activated the micro SIM it came with instead.
why didn't your phone come with a micro SIM?

I got it from a friend and it does not have a sim with it. Thats why Im curious it the att store will put a micro sim in it with the number I have now.

They should. They may charge you the $36 'activation fee' for the new SIM.

I'm fairly certain you need a new SIM due to the GS3 being LTE, and the Infuse being HSPA+.
I just made the switch, myself, this morning...from Infuse. What a difference!!!

The only places that will charge you for a new sim are "authorized" sales channels, not corporate owned AT&T stores. Go into ANY corporate AT&T store and you'll have a working SIM in a few minutes, no questions asked, free of charge. They'll probably ask to play with your phone or try to sell you accessories though.

[Q] New sim card and previos phones?

Does the Turbo have a different size sim card than the S4, S5, G2, G3? Is it removable?
I have no contract and still have unlimited data and plan to buy at retail price. I have a G2 and was hoping the Turbo has the same size sim and I will be able to just put it in as I have always done. I don't need any screw up to my unlimited.
Thanx in advance.

G2 uses micro SIM, Turbo uses nano SIM. You can get a free replacement SIM by calling Verizon I believe. Just tell them your situation when you buy. It shouldn't be a problem.

Easiest thing to do is get a nano sim from Verizon. Once you have that you can always buy a sim card adaptor and make it work in whatever other phone you want. I have a nano sim plus adaptor that makes it a micro sim. So that I can use my G2 still when I want to.
