I just switched from t-mobiles Sidekick Lx to this Wing, and i was wondering if there was anyway i can get the internet to work on this phone. thanks.
Yes jsut call T-Mobile and ask for the data plan, they will add it to your account and tell you when its on and your good to go!
I didnt' want to swtich to the data plan cause it didnt' include free text messages. I was hoping to use the sidekick internet until my contract was over.

Nah, it's a separate data plan I believe.
The only way you are gonna be able to use the internet w/o getting Tmo's data plan is if there is wifi available.
Hello all I have a HTC/Fuze (Raphael) with AT&T and can access the web just fine. I however did not get a data plan on the the phone..just an unlimited text to talk family plan. This is an offered plan in case you do not want a data plan. My question is how can you tell if you are using your wifi to access the internet and not the att network. I don't want to be charged for using the internet (since i have no data plan)...I went to the att store yesterday and they told me I can still get charged for using their network to access the net even though I have no data plan... can anyone help me with this question?
Thanks.

you need to use the HTC data connection application. you should be able to totally disallow any internet connection.
I am using an Orbit 2 on O2 UK, when wifi is connected it will only use it until disconnected or out of range, then reverts back to 3G.
You will know when it reverts back because the speed of the internet will slow significantly.
I completely disable/delete the medianet and AT&T ISP profiles so that it doesn't ever connect over 3G.
I have the same setup as you (but with a Tilt, no data plan). Download Modaco No Data cab, install and disable the ISP (the first option). This will turn off data usage but still allow you to send and recieve text and MMS.
I have been using my new mytouch without a data plan for about a week now. I had data when I activated the phone (didn't sign up for it, but was able to connect), but they have since blocked it. Everything works fine without a data plan except for one thing - MMS. MMS is not working for me now, and I suspect its because I don't have a data plan. I tried changing around APN settings, but haven't managed to find a combination that works. Anyone have any ideas on work around?
So that is weird because technically, without data, you should only get mms / sms and phone.
mms uses the data connection
MMS messages need the data connection to work. SMS messages should work without a data connection since they are transmitted over the signaling portion of the cell channel.
Without the data plan MMS will not work.
Why then did MMS work on my T-Mobile Dash without a data plan?
Dash was a different phone
Windows Mobile on the dash handled data differently than the android software, plus the network systems have been changed to recognize data phones and require the correct data plans.
The Dash was not supposed to get MMS without a data plan but it worked as long as you could connect to T-zones.
Wi-fi works but to get the most of this phone the $24.99 plan is required.
yea i had the same thing the data worked over 3g for about a day. u can buy the phone form walmart and u will not have to to get the 24.99 data plan i just told them i have it on another line.
So...you can have a PDA/Smartphone, and not get hit with the additional cost of a data plan. Is this where you'd need a "unlocked" phone?

to view MMS without a data plan? No cuz an unlocked phone only allows you to use the phone with other carriers.
is there anyway to activate it without dataplan simcard....? with wifi same like g1
I think that myTouch "need" simcard with data plan to activate it. only wifi is impossible to activate.
However, I've another question. Is it possible to use this phone when I have no Internet conneciton (wifi/2G/3G)? I just need to use if for making a call.
yes. if your mytouch 3g is alrady activated (needs sim cardwith data plan for that), you can SMS and make phonecalls and check voicemail (visual voicemail does need data tho) without any data connection, just like normal cellphones.
OK folks. For those of you that missed it. The My Touch has to be activated using a sim card with a data plan attached. Once that is done, you don't need data. MMS on the MyTouch runs through the data portion of the network. Yot car root the phone, load up a different recovery image like Cyanogen or Amon ra's, and no more need to activate that handheld again. As for MMS, no fix for that. You have to have data to send an MMS. Large text, Picture, Or video messages will not work on a text package alone. A "large" text message is about 133 characters or more. Don't realy remember to well these days. The phone was designed around a data connection. Without it, you're gonna have issues.
Is there a List?
Is there a list of phones that MMS won't work or other features are disabled? The G1 used to not need data now T-mobile say's it does? so if I was to get a G1 without data is MMS gone? Curious about the Nokia nuron or nexus 1 is anything disabled without data?
I want to get a nice phone preferably with wifi but no data plan what is my best option a list of phones that work 100% without Data would be very cool...
Need to know my options so I can start trying to get a deal on the phone I select.
Thanks

No not really. the $10 Unlimited web for phone data plan works. Just need to tweak around the apn settings.
I have also seen some forums that included that a 5.99$ Tzone data plan also work with mytouch 3g. However it is difficult to get that plan.
After activating and sim unlocking the phone, If I ever factory data reset, would I have to activate it again with a Tmobile sim card?
Now I am confused.
I have a MyTouch3g from t-mobile. I bought it used so I did not need to get the data plan to activate it, however, picture messages still work just fine for me, as do video. I would like to know why.

Are you getting charged for data usage? AFAIK all MMS has to go over towers so that the carriers network can authenticate the phone they're are coming from, but I could be wrong.

Has anyone with an S5 rooted their phone and able to use Wifi tethering with the unlimited data plan? Or does anyone know if Foxfi works with the unlimited data plans now?
That's the only thing that's been holding me back from getting an S5 - I didn't want to give up my wifi tethering - actually I literally CAN'T give it up since it's my only internet in certain locations.
If I can get confirmation, I can go get me an S5!
Thanks!

Go get yourself that S5 yes "free" tethering works. I also have the unlimited data plan and foxfi works just fine and there are also other ways besides foxfi. There's a few threads on this.

There is a big post a few down from yours titled "Enabling the Tethering App (hotspot) on Verizon Galaxy s5". Please just look around a little before posting a new topic.

Yup, that's exactly what I did :good:
I use FoxFi every day for tethering with UDP on my VZ S5 - it works great.
S5 developer, rooted, Verizon unlimited data, confirmed working fine with WiFi Tether Router from Fabio Grasso from the Google Play Store
Moved to Q&A.
XDA,
Recently bought an AT&T S4 with hopes to unlock it and use my T-Mobile SIM in it. I've done some reading and noticed native wifi tether was removed from the rom although it was in 4.3 and below. What I need in particular is to know if there are any roms, or apps that would allow me to have unlimited wifi tethering, provided I have truly unlimited phone data?
I currently use a T-Mobile Note 4 and the rom I'm using has "unrestricted wifi tethering mod" built in. Which allows for unlimited tethering. Is there a way I could do this on the S4 through rom or app?
Appreciate it in advance.
