Is there any special things to do to have the tab connected to Bell's 3G network when you want to use self service data plan? My SIM card was activated, they gave me my tab's phone # and ''all'' I need to do is to access the self service thing using the tab... the thing is when trying to access the self service I received an error message saying that I must be connected to the 3G network in order to have access to the self service.
I've spent 1h45min on the phone last night with Bell to try to have the Tab connect to the 3G network with no success Even worst, the guy made me do a factory reset otherwise he would not continue troubleshooting the tab... so now I'm back to square 1 and still no 3G network.
Bell's CSR told me to go to a Bell's store to try another SIM card to see if it works and if not to return to tab because it's defective The thing is I went to 2 different Bell's store and they don't know sh*t about the SGT.
Turn off WiFi, it only works if you're connected to the HSPA network.
With WiFi off, are you able to connect to teh internets at all, or are you just having a problem using the Self Serve application?
We did try turning the wifi off, no internet connection and no self service thing. All I get is an error message saying that I must be connected to the internet to access the web lol...I know that...that's what we are trying to do.
Bell's tech said that when the SIM card is insert I should see a 3G icon somewhere on the top right side of the screen near the battery and network bar graph thing but I don't see such icon.
He also said that his system see my SIM card on the network but there's just no data going back/forth from the network and my tab.
Did you set your APN for Bell?
I bet you didnt!
It might sound dumb but I really don't know how to do this more over I hope that it's something that I we've look with the Bell's tech???
**edit** looking under ''edit access point'' all field seem ok except for user name, password and server which all show as ''not set''

check to back sure it is the same, then reboot tab and test.
rmanaudio : My APN was already setup the same way as in your reply. I did add a new one again using the same values, rebooted and still nothing.
Try creating a second APN in that menu, call it anything you want.. just ensure it has a Name and an APN value inside (the rest can be blank).
Then move the radio button selector to the new APN you created.
Wait 30 seconds, then move the radio selector back to the Bell APN.
If your Bell account is properly set up to allow a data connection, you should see 3G appear at the top.
If not, call Bell back, ensure data is enabled on your account.
Problem solved!!
Well, case closed, everything's working perfectly now The lady who did the activation of my SIM card in the 1st place forgot to check the ''tablet'' option for the SIM card
Just sad that I've lost so much time on the phone with Bell's tech support and nobody ever look there.

I have searched around but can't seem to find this info, does anyone have it? and does everything work (except the 3g of course)?
Sorry to resurrect a dead thread but I thought it would be better than making a new one. Well then let's get to my story
I've recently moved here to the Philippines for school(actually I moved yesterday) and I brought my G1 with me which I got unlocked from T-Mobile. I have a Globe SIM card now but it seems like the 3G antennae won't work and the icon won't even show up. It's like as if my APN was disabled by APNdroid but it's not and I can turn it on and off with APNdroid but still no 3G/EDGE icon. I'm running cyanogen 4.2.15.1 and using that upgraded radio found on this forum if that helps any. Could someone help me connect to the internet here in the Philippines with a Globe SIM card on a G1? BTW I'm in Dumaguete.
>internet here in the Philippines with a Globe SIM card on a G1?

Hello,
I was just using it for the first time here.
Here is what I did:
Menu -> Settings -> Wireless controls -> Mobile networks -> Uncheck .. only 2G .. -> Access Point Names -> Menu -> New APN
Name: Globe inet
APN: http.globe.com.ph
User name: none
Password: none
Click Back button
Now, in order to disable this so any service on the phone will not connect without knowledge, I created a dummy APN with
Name: none
APN: none
Select the dummy when you are done with your internet usage.
As for Smart, I think you need:
APN: internet
Username: leave blank
Password: leave blank
or else try with none / none
You can also check a friends Nokia (and probably others) phone settings for APN settings and duplicate them.
Does philippines have a 3G network? I can't seem to get any...
Yes, there is 3G most places, and 3.5G in and around most cities.
Both Smart and Globe have good coverage, but Sun is mostly Manila / Luzon based regarding 3G and 3.5G.
Sun has awesome 3G / 3.5G unlimited internet. Both in speed and price.
If my DSL fails or I am not at home, I use Globe. Only if that is too slow, I try Smart.
It all depends on the carriers coverage in our area, of course.

yes, there is a 3G Network here in the Phils. (surprisingly so)
you just have to create an APN with the correct proxy settings, and voila! you now have 3G Network reception. just make sure that you've set up a dummy APN so the open 3G won't eat up credits while you're not using it.

hi there, the settings above have posted the correct values already
and here are some guidelines:

(you can actually put any name here, as this is just an identifier for the APN setting for your phone, much like how you can rename your Local Area Network on windows)
Apn: http.globe.com.ph
(take note its a <dot> that succeeds http and not a <://> remember this is not a protocol but an access point name)
Authentification: pap or chap
(there is a "pap or chap" option, this does not mean choose any between "Pap" or "Chap", as the former means both)
All other fields blank except default for
Mcc: 515
Mnc: 02
APN type: internet (please select this explicitly, its labeled "internet")
I've even tried those but still no success. I don't know why.
Happen to be in the USA at the moment and have not gone to sleep yet.
Here is the info I had saved. I believe it matches the other post. you might see if you can set up internet using another carrier, just to verify that the problem is not elsewhere in your phone settings or a hardware problem.

PPS If you are in a location with a large mall, you could go the globe, smart or sun location and ask. Once you have one internet setup the second apn is not a big deal. You do have settings/mobile network settings/data enabled and settings/mobile network settings/2g only unchecked correct?
If it doesn't work does that mean the phone is messed up? WiFi works on the phone and everything else is fine. Just I can't seem to get any connection with my supersurf50..

Have you played around with these settings:
settings/mobile network settings/data enabled
settings/mobile network settings/2g (you want this off when you want data access)
settings/mobile network settings/network mode (see what happens when you choose WCDMA only, this would at least show that you have a 3G signal, try a different location)
Good luck!
PS I do not have an HTC Dream, so I do not know if there are any phone specific settings that you can do.
PPS I hate to ask the question, have you verified that this phone operates on the 3G frequency (2100Mhz) used in the Philippines?

where it says i am registered to supersurf but even when i say supersurf stop
it still persists
turns out the supersurf promo is no longer active
and only power surf is now offered
i wonder why the supersurf is still not considered as an invalid keyword for 8888 service number
darn globe, they should be reprimanded again for this
Currently experiencing "hiccup" in internet/data experience with my focus. If phone is not in 3G+ mode, i get no data.
Can someone confirm my theory;
Situation:
Purchased Samsung Focus from rogers, thus rogers network profile (preset network setting for data usage such as MMS or internet).
Unlocked and stuck in bell SIM. can send/recieve calls, and txts, use data (internet, marketplace, weather updates, etc) if phone is in 3G+ mode (seen by tapping near top of screen). Can not use MMS
Presumable:
1)Focus was initially programmed to work on Rogers network.
2)Focus/Rogers, have a GPRS & EDGE capability
Theory:
Focus is programmed to use 3G radio for data (which is more widely accessible, & consumes less power), until detects 3G+/HSPA network and switch to that HSPA radio.
Since bell does not have a GPRS or EGDE network, when phone tries to receive data through 3G radio, it get nothing because no GPRS or EGDE network.
Is this possible, can phones change network they're using?
Theorized Solution:?????
Since Bell has 3G+ network,and they offer LG quantum. Could LG quantum be initially programmed to only use 3G+/HSPA, therefore anytime data is requested it activates the 3G+ radio.
If this is true of the LG quantum, could this be programmed into the Focus as well.
Thus i ask the community is this possible and how to implement solution?????
Sidenote:
I know the easiest solution would be to change to Rogers, however, Canadian provider fees are ridiculous (i'd be incurring early cancellation fee + a new restrictive costly plan from rogers) and there are others which don't have a choice but to use bell, and should have the freedom to choose a device of there choice with a little work.
I'm hitting a similar issue on Fido. The cell side works, and data only works if I enable data roaming. I downloaded the Network Profile app, but it won't let me get anything as it tells me "The application can't be launched with your mobile operator."

I think in your case it's just a matter of adding a APN.
Follow the instruction in the follow thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843517
a search for "FIDO APN" on google, and i found this;
FIDO
Name: fido internet
APN: internet.fido.ca
Username: fido
Password: fido
APN Type: default
Leave All other Settings Blank

APN: mms.fido.ca
MMSC: http://mms.fido.ca
MMS Proxy: 205.151.011.013
APN Type: mms
Leave All other Settings Blank
That should get your data working, and you wont be incurring roaming charges.
Other then that, let me know if your having a similar issue to above, i don't think you should as FIDO is a pure GSM network from day one so it'll have GPRS/EDGE/HSPA
MMS
Interesting the various issues people are having with connecting to different networks...doesn't seem to be a one-size-fits-all issue/solution.
In my case, I got a new Rogers sim card (unlocked AT&T branded Focus from Expansys), put it in, updated my APN info, and I have voice and data.
BUT, I have no texting/messaging ability! I know others have listed the MMS settings for Rogers, but the Focus seems to only allow adding *one* APN setting. No clue where the MMS settings can be applied.
Other friends who have Rogers sims were able to put it in their Focus and had no problems at all with texting, internet, etc.
Anyone have thoughts on this issue, please respond.

The instructions appear to be for the LG device, not the Samsung Focus. The code doesn't get me into any factory menu. The diagnostics screen just sits when I type in the code. I downloaded the Network Profile app but it errors out saying "The application can't be launched with your mobile operator".
Facepalm
OMG, I'm an idiot!
So apparently Rogers requires 1+area code for sending texts? Telus didn't...*sigh*...
So yes, I have texting ability (haven't tried MMS though).
Samsung's response:

Now that this issue got publicity lets see how long they keep up this attitude?
UPDATE:
COuld it be MS to the rescue?

Not much to add other than I'm in the same situation as reaver_shadow. Bought from Rogers, unlocked it and put in Bell SIM card. Everything works except MMS and data if not on 3G+ (will work when '3G' is displayed, but I guess it's borderline). Tried playing with option *#2263# in Samsung Diagnosis (##634# + Dial), but does not fix the issue. Hoping the Network Profile will become available for changing. Using the Network Profile app from Samsung does not work. Says it does not work with my provider. Says active profile is 'Rogers'.
Update:
Probably just lucky, but I have had a steady connection since this morning. I set option 2-7 under Diagnosis option *#2263# (use all WCDMA Band). What maybe did the trick is enabling Roaming, as mentioned by @colinbo. My apn is set to pda.bell.ca.
Update:
Nope, just luck. :-(

this may or may not be related to your problem, but did you add in the AT&T APN into your NI and have you tried your SIM card into a phone that can handle data on the AT&T network?

I can confirm this works. The tablet does everything except receive phone calls.
Adam + AT&T Data only plan for Tablets.
I went to the store asked about this, the rep didn't know how to activate the Tablet Plan on a 3rd party Tablet. He suggested I call Customer Service. I asked him for a SIM to take with me when I call so I could save time and get it working.
I called CS, talked to about 6 reps~, they tried. The main issue was getting past the accepting the terms and conditions via the phone system (IVR), it kept coming back with Unable to process due to technical problems with their system and it would transfer me back to a rep. Reps tried this themselves with me on the line.
BTW, the reps bent over backwards to help. One of the most helpful, I got disconnected while calling another department and working with a supervisor. She called me back a few mins later, says she didn't call me back right away because she wanted to finish her call and have a definitive answer.
She said I would have to return to the store and have them set me up with a dummy tablet to activate the account, then make the appropriate changes in their system.
So today I went to a AT&T retail store once again, but armed with those notes in the account. The rep called, they told him he couldn't do it. So he called another department, had them activate my account using a dummy phone under a voice plan.
Once active he made changes in the account, entered a dummy tablet IMEI then changed to the $25 /2G data plan.
I popped in the SIM, ran through the steps of enabling it on the Adam. 3G icon appeared, tested surfing Google.
I had already added an APN, only editing two things, name AT&T, APN broadband, left everything else default and it worked (this is for data only, voice/data plans require more info edited).

I got an international S3 from India and went to AT&T store to get a micro sim.
Got that installed and then the phone calling works fine but data (internet) doesn't work.
They said they would have to register my phone's IMEI but it still doesn't work. They put in a new APN, and still same. They called their tech and they couldn't help. Their last suggestion was to try calling Samsung, but I had to leave to get to work.
I believe there are already people using International version with AT&T for the S3. So any ideas what could be wrong?
Thanks!
Try factory resetting your phone. Other than that, make sure you have the $10/month data plan (unlimited messaging required) or the $15/month data (no messaging required). To do that you'll have to call into customer care and say you have an unlocked non-smartphone. If you go into the store to do this they'll give you the more expensive internet because they'll see you have a smartphone. If you're changing data plans it CAN take 24-48 hours for it to be effective, although it usually doesn't take that long. After that's done go into Settings, More Settings (under Wireless and Network settings), Mobile Networks, and then Access Point Names. Make sure there is an Access Point Name titled "Cingular 410". If there isn't then press Menu, and then "+ New APN". The settings should look like this:
Name: Cingular 410
APN: wap.cingular

My Password field is auto-filled, so I don't have that. Try leaving it blank, but if that doesn't work call customer care and get that information.

Well now my SIM is completely unregistered, can't even make calls. Operator asked me to go to the store and get a new SIM Card.
So, this won't work without the switch to the non-smartphone data plan? It is going to be hard to pull off when I am in the store.

It should work just fine on the smartphone data plan, and you should be able to switch to the non smartphone data plan afterwards.

Ok, thanks. What should I tell the AT&T store people today when I go in the evening?
It feels like they did something on the account to screw it up. Would it help to suggest that they get this working on an AT&T HTC OneX and then transfer the SIM to my phone?
It could be that you have a defective SIM card. Take it one step at a time. Replace the SIM card. Make sure you have functionality with other services (such as voice and messaging). Check all the APN settings to make sure those are correct. Make sure you have a data plan for AT&T.
I'm on another carrier but I had the same problem at first, only phone call and sms working. I had to change my APN for the Data to work.

What are the APN settings you input, did you save and select it afterwards?
EDIT: Check the settings in the screenshots on the first posts of this thread, yours should match.
Thanks, I went back to the store. We got my original S2 working and this time switched to micro sim without making any IMEI/etc changes and it worked.
Anyone know what extra steps need to be taken to get the voicemail working?
If anyone out there has spent hours trying to get every aspect of data, voice, and messaging working after this switch, I feel your pain. However after days and days, and nights of no sleep, and countless hours of research and note taking, I have finally found the answer. This took piecing together many different bits of information from other people's fixes however never were able to get the messaging working correctly. So, after much ado, and way too much time waiting for this amazing feeling of success relief that is just a few moments away: Here we go. Note: Before starting this process, will need to make sure that you are with another phone, because you will need a phone call in order to complete the process!!!!!
Go into your phones "mobile networks" settings.

After you have completed the setting exactly as above, hit the menu button and save the APN (Make sure that the circle for this APN is filled in green. Back out one screen, turn mobile data on, then back off and then shut down the phone. *Wait Five Minutes*
Turn the phone back on, turn on mobile data and (as hard as this is going to be) put the phone down and walk away! Set a timer for 10 minutes and have someone tie your hands behind your back if necessary!! Don't touch the phone..
At the end of ten minutes when you pull down the notification bar it is probably still going to say "no service" at the bottom. Even if it now says T-Mobile CONTINUE TO THE NEXT STEP if you would like this to work flawlessly..
Have someone call you or use another phone to call yourself. This is going to take several attempts (about 3 or 4) before it stops going to voicemail and the phone actually rings. ANSWER THE CALL, HANG UP..
Final Step: ENJOY THE LUXURIES OF HAVING YOUR PHONE WORKING PERFECTLY!!!!! YAY!!!
Note: When you make a call your phone is going to have to switch over on the networks for voice so it's going to ring an extra minute (don't worry it's normal). When you hang up the call it is going to take a moment for the network to switch back over to 4G LTE. Be patient and have faith in your success (It will happen). Don't start changing settings.
Good luck to all (Hopefully I didn't forget anything).

If anyone out there has spent hours trying to get every aspect of data, voice, and messaging working after this switch, I feel your pain. However after days and days, and nights of no sleep, and countless hours of research and note taking, I have finally found the answer. This took piecing together many different bits of information from other people's fixes however never were able to get the messaging working correctly. So, after much ado, and way too much time waiting for this amazing feeling of success relief that is just a few moments away: Here we go. Note: Before starting this process, will need to make sure that you are with another phone, because you will need a phone call in order to complete the process!!!!!

I forgot to add at the end of the original thread that I have restarted my phone several times since and everything is continuing to work, However instead of receiving a call, making a phone call out will quickly get you right back up and running again!!!..
I would love to hear feedback from anyone who uses this method and how it worked for you.

Are you able to get tmobile 4g LTE or H+ only, i'm asking because I only get H+. TIA.
Edit: Nevermind, got it to work, i had to delete the apn and reset, then re-add the apn.
Worked like a charm with one correction
Thanks a lot. It really helped me to use Verizon note 3 for t-mobile. I just made a call to T-mobile voice mail on Verizon phone is working perfectly now. I didn't need to wait or make several calls from other phones to make it work.
Woohoo!
Excellent thread!
Told Big Red to go take a hike and for $80 less, have double the high-speed data and no limits for music + unlimited low speed data!
T-Mo for the WIN!
