Okay guys,,,,,
Here's the deal I purchased this version of the 7.7
https://www.atgsm.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Phone-SamsungP6800Silver
I only paid $545 for it on ebay. Will tmoible's 3G work on this thing. I know that AT&T 3G works. Funny thing is I put my SIM Card into it and it worked great. Even made calls that were clear to hear via my bluetooth headset. I logged onto AT&T with my home computer and it showed as an unsuportted device so I chose the $15 non-smartphone unlimtted data feature and it worked for a day or 2. Now this morning I got a message .... a text message and an email stating I need to purchase a data plan for tablet or broadband device. I quickly put the sim card back into my old LG C550 flip phone which has media net and sports etc.. a non smart phone.
Question: Can they do this?
Question: How do they know its a tablet if these are internatinal versions.
Question: How can they opt to change your data feature
Question: Why do I need to purchase a data plan even when I didn't get a subsidized device. If I'd known that before I would just opt for an AT&T device.
hmmmmm.. .Makes me think about cancelling my service with AT&T when my contract ends in a few months....
Please help me out here.
1) Of course they can do this. It is their network - they make the rules.
2) Domestic or international - all devices identify themselves the same way. They know it is a P6800. They have obviously updated their tables of what is a tablet...
3) See 1)
4) See 1)
I recommend get a provider that serves your area, but has less rules. T-mobile is great, but pretty poor coverage. At least they let you use any compatible device and don't force you to buy a data plan with prepaid service. ATT and Verizon are similar to each other, but at least ATT does not cripple features.
Just seems odd.....
It seems odd.... My daughter has been using the Tmobile Samsung Vibrant (It has AT&T 3G bands in my area) for 2 years on AT&T with the unlimitted non smartphone rate of $15 per month and has never received any message about getting a data plan for smartphones. That is why I asked the question. Isn't the vibrant the same as the captivate with the differecne in the bands that work...... This just seems a bit strange.......... ARGGGG... Maybe I should have just looked for the wi-fi only model. .. too late for me becuase the seller charges a 15% restocking fee... besides I did get a good deal on it.
You point out one of the advantages in GSM phones. There are a variety of carriers that support GSM, and allow devices not their own on their network. AT&T is good about that. It gives you some choice. As far as I know, Verizon only accepts devices sold by them.
Just wondering
I was just wondering. It still seems odd. Think i will just cancel the service when the term expires in a few months. The first snafu was when they merged my accounts .. the rep told me we woudld keep the $30 unlimitted plan on my wife's iphone but when i merged the accounts the option was gone and they refused to get it back..... anyway..i am just venting... That is the power of the consumer.. if you dont' like it take my money somewhere else. only pitfall is in my area AT&T has good serivce.
Yes..you did get a super good deal..
I clicked on your link and saw 680 something price.
Cheaper still is Negri at 630 something..
good.job on price stopping...
Can you post an ebay link to that price?
thanksstopping
Here is the link $545..

Here is the link $545 you may be able to make a best offer on a few of the seller's other item. Don't know how they do it but it shipped to me really fast..
http://www.ebay.com/itm/160709304834?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
also you can try this seller. My buddy at work got his from here.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-SAMSUNG...=UK_iPad_Tablets_eReaders&hash=item2ebb38feeb
That's all he had left. I don't see the one I got. but if you check the feedback you will see its legit.
The 7.0 Plus $Ebay
http://www.ebay.com/ctg/Samsung-Gal...plus+3g&_pcatid=839&_pcategid=58058&_from=R40
You list one from Australia and one from the UK. Did either you or your friend get hit with Customs charges? That can make a real difference in price.
The Hong Kong merchants seem to be very creative at avoiding Customs charges (they lie).
No customs
I got mine for Austriala.. .didn't have any customs fees. The one from hong kong had no customs fees. it was listed as a photo frame on the form. so there was no custom import fee..

so, nobody got confused here? am I the only one?
1st of all your title said that you had the 3g/wifi version, and you gave the link for it, meanwhile, you get it a lot cheaper on ebay, which kinda tempting me to get one
i go through on all your link, the one you get yours ($545) and the one your friend get, and both of them are wifi only, yet you stated that you put in your sim card, and you get 3g on AT&T?
are you under prescription or something?
and there's the 3rd link about 7.0 plus aka P6200 which confused me even more, about what's the point of that link you gave? duh
Wow My apologies

I assure you I have the 3G international version. I will post a copy of my receipt. My apologies for the incorrect link. I will get it and post it shortly. I can't find the link however as one of the posters replied negri has it on sale. Maybe I just got lucky I don't know but it works and I stand by my posts. Do you need me to post videos or photos of me inserting the SIM card and getting the AT&T 3G and of me making a phone call. I can do that. The intention of my initial post was not to post a deal....it was simply a few questions I had about the device and AT&T practices. There are many other sources where you can obtain price cuts and deals just search with GOOGLE. On anohter note.....AMAZON has a few sellers who sell the item. There are 4 or 5 online and or local stores located in New York City also. I hope this helps. If I come across a good deal froma reputatble seller I will post it.
nah, no need. since you already admit that it was wrong link you posted
I just had a glimpse of hope of getting tab 7.7 for quite cheap like you did, but I did need 3g, not wifi only ^^
I dont live in NYC so local store is out of question for me
They did release it in my country but its the 32gb version and pretty expensive I'd say (around $820)
Whilst i already have 32gb micro sd so I think 16gb version is enough

I am curious...
Your first post, you said you paid 545 for thr 3G version....
but incorrectly inserted the wrong links..
Then a few post later.. you said yes indeed you got the 3g version for 545 again... and posted another link or 2...
Both these links showed Wi-Fi versions only..
Im curious as to a correct link to your 545 dollar 3g version...
thanks for making this happen.....
Id like to recommend your seller to another person...
IF you can supply a link to the 3g version at $545...
thanks.... Jim
I got lucky

I posted the link however as stated it was an incorrect link. I think I may have just got lucky and the seller sent me a 3G version or maybe the seller had the wrong decription either way... I am glad I got a deal. I don't know what else to tell you. You could possilby wait a few months and anticipate the price dropping due to all the new devices slated to hit the scene. As many of us know playing the waiting game for prices or next generation hardware is futile. I'd say..... buy the best you can get for the price you can pay and use the device the way you want. I find it is often pointless to wish for the stars knowing you don't want to part with your hard earned cash. So its either pay up or just play the waiting game. I don't mean to sound sarcastic but I have been getting private messages from people blasting me about the link I posted and how I need to hurry up and post the correct link. I posted the link that I used to get the device..... "Maybe the seller botched up and sent me the wrong item""" Good for me I guess ............ In any event I'd say stick with what you can afford and if not just don't buy anything .........
You can try this one.. very good
Yes its $645 but you do get it overnight from overseas to USA>

I'm picking mine up tonight and I wondering if I have to buy a micro sim card or if the phone comes with one.
Mine came with one installed. ATT.
My tmo one came with one
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
yes it come with micro sim card when you get phone
AT&T did not send one with mine so I had to go to the AT&T store to get one
It should come with one -T-Mobile
Can't imagine a LTE phone requiring a micro SIM not including one... the online store pages for both t-mo and AT&T state that a microSIM is included in the box.
Do any other LTE capable phones have micro SIM yet?

Mine came with one, i'm with AT&T. I just got an email from BB showing my receipt, they ended up comping the phone for me due to the fiasco with the preorder/launch...the receipt shows $29.99 for the sim, but again, I paid nothing. That being said, i'm not sure if they are charging for it or not.

It seems unlikely to me that SAmsung would ship an external MicroSD card with a phone that has 16GB of internal storage, but the Canadian Versions DEFINITELY didn't come with the extra MicroSD. The shop att website states that one is not included in the box, tho it IS at&t, so who knows...

LOL, it happens.
After adding a line to get this phone, I now have a spare microSIM and regular SIM....can't really do anything with them, right?
CDMA versions apparently come with non replaceable microsims burried somewhere deep inside the phone.
So I am going to get the N4 from the play store as soon as its available.
I have a galaxy S2 with TMobile now. I've put it up for sale and have a buyer all lined up. How do I activate the N4? Will there be a place for my to put my SIM card in? Will I have to take the phone to TMobile?

there's nothing to activate, just make sure your SIM card is a microsim. If it isn't then I suggest ordering a 3$ micro sim cutter from amazon, or go to T-mobile and see if they're willing to give you a micro sim.

Thats what I needed to know. I have a mini sim in my S2. I don't even know if tmobile has micro sim cards yet. I'll end up getting one from amazon.

[ If I helped, hit the thank button ]
Haha, I don't think I'll get a micro sim or a micro sim cutter. I'm cutting it with scissors LOL. But it probably would be a good idea to go to att and ask for a micro sim so I could keep the original to go back in my old phone if the N4 sucks, butI doubt it will...so I'm still cutting it with scissors

You don't have to take it to T-Mobile. I just called Customer Support (611) this evening and told them I'm getting an unlocked phone to upgrade my current line and need a micro SIM for it, and they are mailing me one free. (They'll do expedited shipping if you pay for it.) When you get your Nexus 4, just call 611 again or go to www.t-mobile.com/sim to activate it. No scissors, no cutter, and no trip to the store necessary.
Just talked to the tmobile rep. I can go to any tmobile store and get a micro sim card free of charge at any time.

Funny thing. I just called them asking that exact statement, they said unfortunetly they cannot ship just the micro sim card, only with a new phone. I asked to speak to a manager and got transfered to the accessories department. They went on to tell me they don't deal with that and I need to go in store WITH THE DEVICE.

That's because you were the guy who escalated to a manager. Trust me on this, I've worked call centers. Just be polite, say thanks anyways and call back. You'll get someone else and they may have a different tune. Having been on the other end of the phone, no matter how nice or polite you are, if you "ask to speak to a manager" you are labeled instantly as a ****.

Never said you did it right away, but the fact you did at all is the point. Not trying to step on toes, just giving some call center tips to help you get what you are looking for. I won't go into it as this isn't the place for it, but feel free to PM me if you are interested in some good tips.
Activating for myself will involve dropping in with my N4 to Telus retail and picking up a microSIM as my current phone uses a regular SIM. Store has it listed for 10$, but we'll see if I can talk it down. I don't want to deal with cutting the SIM.

Careful with that, friend did it with a printout template and it wouldn't work on the HTC One X because it was off by a very small amount. Even despite trying tape/etc it still wouldnt make proper contact.

Huh, strange. I wouldn't have expected that, given how straightforward and easy it was when I called. I said, "I'm buying an unlocked phone and need a micro SIM for it," and the agent just asked which line I was putting it on and how soon I needed it, then confirmed that the order had been placed; couldn't have been easier. Oh, well, YMMV, I guess. (And we'll see how well it works when I get the phone -- it's possible that it was easy because it was wrong! Worst case, I have to hop in the car for the 20-minute drive down to the T-Mobile store.)

Does this not look easier than any option to anybody? If it goes wrong, then you can go through the trouble of getting a sim and activating it, but I think cutting is definitely worth a try.
Oky guys I already have 2 pre-paid micro sim card activation kit, seating on my table they aren't activated yet. So my question is when I got my nexus I can put the sim and transfer my number to the micro sim ?

Prepaid T-Mobile sims aren't compatible with a post-paid account.
If you have a prepaid plan then I think you can transfer.

I just got this message on my phone and I have no idea how to fix it, I searched Google and tried just about everything I can. If I take my sim card out and put it in another phone if works great, I put it back in this phone and it doesn't work. Ive tried manually searching network, nothing. I've tried reflashing carbon ROM stock kernel and radio, nothing. I've tried toggling airplane mode, nothing. Wtf is going on here? I like this phone but I've never had so much trouble with a phone.

Sorry I think you may need to do a factory reset. Try backing up as much as you can off the phone and do the reset. GL My wife's touch 4g had the same issue when switching sim cards from her work blackberry to the touch 4g. Because the phone was brand new, there was no issue in doing a factory reset with the sim card installed.

bad choice buddy , should have bought it straight from google ORRR , asked the owner for the imei so you can check if its clean , im a big craigslist person too , but you have to check things like that , i bought a xbox 360 for cheap that was in mint condition but it was console banned for hacking/piracy reasons.
EDIT tmobile is cracking down on people who buy phones for cheap on a contract and dont finish paying , they will block your phone from their networks.

Wow that sucks. So does that mean the IMEI is blacklisted on tmo for non payment? Did the tmo chat say anything about new owner and such?

tmobile wont care if you claim to be a "new owner" or if you even tell them you bought it from someone who jacked you off , if its blacklisted he's out of luck , the best choice he has is to contact tmobile and check the IMEI

Same problem
Hi there...
just got my Nexus yesterday. I'm from Brazil and a friend of mine got it from Play Store (unlocked, I guess). Here we have 4 main carriers, mine is OI. My Sim card works great in other devices (tested on Iphone 4S and Galaxy SIII). The device shows all 4 carriers, but when I tap on "OI", I got the same topic message.
Any ideas???

Has anyone had any trouble activating the G2 on VZW? I received mine in the mail yesterday after I ordered it online from VZW as an upgrade to my Galaxy Nexus. So far I have been unable to activate it. When I turn it on and it says it is activating, it just hangs for 10-15 minutes and then errors out. It suggests going to a place with service, but I can see on-screen that I have 2-3 bars of 3G service consistently. It seemed odd that it never connected to 4G, but maybe that only comes post-activation, I don't know.
I'm probably going to head to the VZW store this afternoon to see if they can help me, but I wanted to post this to see if others had any issues when trying to activate their G2s.
Thanks!
Are you using the SIM card that came with the phone? If you have a SIM from your current phone, did you try putting that in instead?
did it come with two cards? one in the phone and one in the box? however you have a nexus so you should've been able to use your old sim card.
if it came with one in the box, use that one. apparently they shipped out bad ones inserted in the phone and gave replacements in the box. happened to my brother. his activated after switching

Ahhhh, no, I did not switch SIM cards. This is the first time I have tried activating a phone on my own outside of a store, so I didn't know about that step. The G2 came with a SIM card already in it, and there wasn't another one in the box. I'll try taking the one out of my Nexus and putting it in the G2 in just a bit.
Thank you both for the tip!

That did it. Quick and painless when you do it the right way.
