U.S. Service Plan? - Galaxy Tab 7.7 General

My 7.7 will be here today. What is the best plan to get in the United States? Is there a prepaid deal that is good or an AT&T plan that works well?
I will use mainly as a tablet with very little phone usage so minimum minutes would be okay and I'd like about 3GB (or unlimited if possible) data. The cheapest I could find on the AT&T website is about $70/mo before taxes.
Any help would be appreciated.

Look at the ATT prepaid plans. They have a $50 unlimited plan. That would probably be the best if you want unlimited data.

i was thinkin bout going into att and getting a prepaid data plan. Been searching around, dont know if this is possiable because its not an att tablet. Any info would be apperciated.

To get voice (minimum) plus data on ATT prepaid is like $60. To add an account and get more voice and 3 gb of data instead of 500meg with their prepaid is close to $80.
I've read you can get a Straight Talk account for $45/mo unlimited everything (meaning about 2 gig a month data then they kill you.)
If anyone has any ideas please share.

I have unlimited voice and unlimited data on ATT Prepaid and it costs me $50 month and thats it. Nothing more.
Where are you getting the $80 number from? I think your looking at the actual service plans and not the Go Phone PrePaid plans.
I bought a ATT sim card off of ebay. Signed up for a new account with new phone number. I put $100 on it and signed up for the $50 unlimited plan. It deducted the $50 from my original $100.
Been using my 7.7 like this the last month and no problems at all. Unlimited data, text messages and phone calls.

I dont know if an ATT actual "tablet Data Plan" will work with the 7.7
You might be better off buying the cheapest Pre Paid plan there is and just adding the data package onto that.
Buy the prepaid go phone sim card off Ebay. If you dont plan on using it as a phone sign up for like the 10cents a minute plan and add on the 500mb data for $25. So it will only cost you $25 month for the data.

Funny you posted this. I went to AT&T and got a sim card and bought the $50/unlimited. Everything was going great except data would not work. I searched and tried different settings but it wouldn't work.
I called customer service and had it switched to $2/day plus 500meg for $25. It worked immediately.
Can you share your settings (or what might be different) in case I might want to try again?

I have an AT&T Prepaid plan that's $25/mo for 2GB... Tablet plan.

Sure thing! Have a read-through of my tutorial here. Just use the wap.cingular APN settings. I know it's in the Note forum, but the settings are the same.

Thanks bro, will try when in 15.

I am most interested in this. I did not know they had tablet pay as you go plans. Did you have to go into the att store? or did you get a sim on the internet?

Thanks! Just remove the phone APN settings altogether. All you need is the wap.cingular APN for GoPhone, which as far as I can tell, you have set up correctly. Try this and see if that works
Also, if that still doesn't work, under the username try [email protected] (case sensitive) with password CINGULAR1 (also case sensitive)
Let me know!

Solution for MMS sending difficulties anyone?

Wheel just keeps a spinnin and spinnin!
Wonder if it has to do with apn settings? They do indicate mms and Internet on the bottom setting.
Any suggestions appreciated? Who wants to be able to create these cool notes and not be able to send??
whats your plan, per or post pay, and what apn settings did you use, there are a lot of threads which address this.
I have a GoPhone $50 unltd.with apns suggested for this.
I DID walk in to att with my Note, and said cust service suggested I ask for a new sim cars and got a 4G card (vs the designated GoPhone) one, and that's when the problems started now that I think about it.
So my apn needs might have changed.
Ill have to play around with them.
Network speeds are way better...just no MMS.

definitely do not disclose to att that you have a smartphone.
I have the 50/month unlimited voice/text/web/data gophone att plan and my speeds are very good. i cant compare to network speed but im coming from tmous3g and it is close.
i registered the sim card in an older nokia e72, then once it worked fully, i swapped it into my gnote. not sure if att will catch the data usage and ding me for the overage as if it were a smartphone, but until that happens this is a brilliant workaround.

I tried to change the apn to different settings and no speed difference. Is this setting faster on G nOte?
Thank you

there is another thread that list an APN just for the 4g sim from att. search for that thread.
You got off topic
The question was about MMS not working on the Note, not about your plans. Please stick to the topic in order to help this person
I was having issues with my mms as well. I tried multiple apn settings but nothing. What finally fixed it was inputting the apn settings below in the go SMS application itself. And using those apn settings on the phone. My speeds are not as good as a couple of the other apns but I now have working mms and fully functional phone. I pulled the apn settings off of my infuse.

I'm also on AT&T and for some reason my APN has changed a couple of times on it's own. . In fact it just happened earlier today and I had the exact same problem as you. For some reason the MMS port was blank so I changed that back to 80. Also there was info in the username and password and I deleted both out. It worked again right after I made those changes.
I can give you the rest of my settings if those changes don't work for you. I'm using the settings that have been posted for AT&T unlimited data.
I copied the settings out of my brothers cappy, and finally got MMS working. Settings in the other thread weren't working for me. Im getting 3-7Mbs down and a MB up. Im post paid, with a 4G sim and so called "unlimited data".

Any one ATT 4G+ plans who are actually seeing those speeds?

Even if your on their bonafide 4G+ plan their system doesn't recognize the device as a 4G+ device anyway so you'd only get they're crap "4G" speeds anyway correct?
Anyone out there on those regular ATT plans (vs prepaid)?
I'm on the grandfathered unlimited 4G plan & I see 3-6MB down & 500-1MB up on avg on H+.

Could you share your APN settings? Seems to be so many out there. I'm also Grandfathered unlimited. It would be appreciated!
Did you just bring the Note into the store?
Did they have to do any special provisioning for you to access their '+' network?

I got 7 Mbit down and 2 Mbit up the other day at my friend's house in Austin, TX, U.S. I only get about 1.5 down and 1 up at my house, though. I'm using the 4g APN settings. There are only two sets of APN settings for AT&T; see my recent past posts for them.

That's not H+ speeds. I have been getting those speeds on my iPhone 4 since it came out.
Confusing
I don't think anyone actually knows what the correct APN settings are, they seem to be all over the place. On one post I found this one which claims to have an unlimited plan and very good speeds. Does anyone actually know and have numbers to back up?

[Q] ATT Blocking 3G Data Plan for Galaxy Tab 7.7

I just purchased a new Galaxy Tab 7.7 from Negri. I went to ATT to get a new DATA ONLY SIM card for the device but it will not work properly.
The device sees the DATA SIM and has 4 bars but I cannot get online.
If I put the DATA SIM into my old Galaxy Tab 7 it works just fine. I can also put my iPhone SIM into my 7.7 and it works fine.
I took the DATA SIM back to the ATT store and they told me that because it can be used as a phone the system is blocking it from using a 3G Data SIM. They also gave me a new DATA SIM just in case but that did not work.
Possible Solutions?
1. Is there something I can tell ATT to get the data only block removed.
2. Is there an alternate APN setting that I can use that will allow me to use 3G Data only.
3. Something else?

Have you tried using the above settings for MMS, and using the "Phone" APN for WAP yet?
Just set your APN to Phone, and leave everything else blank. Modify the second APN you listed to MMS only instead of Internet and MMS. See if that works.
You must have it named "Broadband". All the other settings seem right- that was my experience last weekend. Here are my settings:

This worked! Thank you! I spent the entire morning at the ATT store then the entire afternoon with Technical support. Nobody had a clue. Final verdict was that I HAD to get a Phone plan in order to get this to work.
How is your data speed with this APN? I am getting ping=100ms down=1.0-2mb up=100k-1mb. (same as my iPhone so that is a good sign)

Your speeds seem normal. I guess I hadn't read your OP properly to see that you were using a data-only SIM. In addition to the Broadband APN, isp.cingular also works.

In most cases, the speeds are about the same. The isp.cingular is the legacy APN, so you may get higher ping times, but as more and more folks use the Broadband and Phone APN's, sometimes the old APN can be faster overall as it becomes less crowded. Either way, it's nice to have options at your disposal

I had the same experience-it was the 3rd technical support person I spoke to that finally got me up and running and it was that one word (broadband) that had been the issue.
Intl Version 7.7
Just want to chime in here. I have the 7.7... I purcahsed it online. Its the 3G version. Now all I did was take my SIM card out of my dumb phone (LG c500) and placed it in my Tab 7.7 and it worked for data and phone calls. I was able to keep it on with the $10 unlimitted data (for non smartphones) since AT&T system (at the time) saw it as an unsupported PHONE. Well after a few weeks I began getting text messages stating something regarding I need to purchae a data plan ... something to that effect, however the device still shows up as non-supported. so i put my sim back in my old LG c500 for a few days and then back into my 7.7 and I am good to go. Check out this story also

If you just get a non-smartphone and get a normal plan ........ add $15 for the non smartphone unlimitted data and you would be good to go. that's what I did and last month I was at 3.5GB of data and did not get throttled. The device will be an unrecognized device on at&t and you will only pay the $15 for data. Well worth getting the plan or just adding a line of service. Just don't tell them its a tablet. In fact you could just as easily pick up a go phone for $14 to $15 bucks and use the sim card.
thank you for this thread. spent a long time with AT&t and could not get this to work. I have a data only plan.
this worked great.

Need help with Nexus 4 and Straight-Talk APN settings.

Current config that worked for a while and suddenly stopped:

The various forums have been jam packed with issues regarding APN's and AT&T straight talk the last week or two, and I have not come across a straight answer why. I even read where there is a lawsuit going on between AT&T and Straight Talk. For some, the old APN's are needed, for others the new ones are needed, for still others neither set of values work. It seems that a lot of people who's refill card ran out or just renewed had to go with the new APNs.
I lost data too a week ago and straight talk had me re-enter my APN values and data magically came back. Now if I could only get data faster than 1 Mbps that would be nice.
These are the values that straight talk had me enter that fixed my data (I don't have the original ones from 4 months ago so I am not sure there is a difference or not):

As I stated in my post, the first set of APN values fixed my data. As I also stated in my post, I don't know if they are the same values as the ones I entered 4 months ago when I first bought my phone, because I no longer have the ones from 4 months ago to compare them two. The new APN values (the second set in my post) did not work at all for me.

So, I sent an MMS from my phone to myself with the working APN settings and it worked (Took about 10 minutes because I have a -90 to -100 dbm data signal at my house). Plain SMS texts sent from Google to my phone also work.
I hate to drag this thread back up but I have tried every single MMS setting in this thread and not one has worked. Some of the IPs and URLs listed dont reply to a ping, which makes me believe they arent even up.

I was on the phone with Straight Talk Cust-Service and he said that MMS is not guaranteed for BYOD customers. (Disregard my question if you have an N4) Did you buy your phone from Straight Talk?

I have no problem with data, but I cannot receive MMS (I can send just fine). This seems to be a problem for multiple people with multiple phone types at the straight talk forum.
Thought I would post here. Anyone have MMS receive working? I've tried both of the above (the second one is still the Straight Talk recommended one). I lose data with the first one. I've tried a hybrid, as follows, data is fine but still no MMS receive.

This is the same issue I had... Could send but not receive MMS messages, spent 4 hours on the phone with tech support who rebuilt my account twice and couldn't get working, finally to be told they don't guarantee it to work and my phone wasn't compatible with there service. Never did get it working, finally switched to go phone and never had a problem since... That being said, the only thing I didn't try was the SIM swap.

Geez, you are replying to a post from June, and yes my post was about a change that Straight Talk did that killed data for a lot of people that week. I have never had a problem with MMS with the original sim card with the att.mvno values that I have shown. My new LTE sim card however required that I delete all APN entries, use the tfdata version of the APN as listed on Straight Talks's web site, and I also added APN Type: default,supl,mms, but I am not sure which one of those two things (or multiple things) fixed the problem, but now I have MMS with the new card.

thanks for the reply. I have tried multiple things since posting including a long list from here which does include the APN Type: default,supl,mms with no luck. outgoing MMS fine, incoming no dice. next step is call them to reprovision my sim. I may switch to AIO after this month...

Nexus 4 AT&T MMS won't send and receive even with APN settings

Hello guys,
I tried multiple APN settings, and I can't get the pictures to send or receive them. Do I need to do anything with AT&T and call them? It's a post paid plan.
Here's what I tried:
APN Settings
Data on (it worked a bit), then stopped
Data off (I don't have a data plan, and I don't want one, any APN settings to prevent one being added?) doesn't work
Wifi-off, wifi-on, doesn't work
Am I missing something?
Like I said, I don't have a data plan, I can't affor the $360 a year for it either since I have a ton of wifi around me.
Thank you!

As in reset them to default? I did, I end up with three of them: ATT Phone, ATT Wap, and Tracfone. I tried both the ATT phone, ATT Wap, both with cellular data on and off.
The pictures won't sent.
With my ATT HTC Inspire, data off, and wifi on I could receive and send pictures.
I'm so lost and I can't really afford to get that data plan yet

Do I need data to be turned on to send MMS, as in from the phone? Because AT&T will charge me $2 per mb, so I keep it off. The inspire had cellular data turned off from the phone and worked fine with MMS.
Should I select one of the three default APN's? Or not select any???
I also came from an Inspire to the N4. You do realize that the Inspire was turning data on to send and receive MMS and then turning it off don't you? The data used was not charged to your allotment because it is included with the messaging plan. The N4 will do the same thing, but you don't have data available because you have no plan.

I didn't have a plan with the inspire too, just had it manually turned off from my phone.
Even if I turn the mobile data on manually, it won't send, that's the problem with this phone.
I was able to add a dumbphone unlimited data plan for $10 with att, can anything go wrong with this???

try these apn settings. once you have entered and saved them, apply them by tapping the radio button next to the apn name. and also make sure you delete all other apn's. reboot your phone and give mms a whirl. if for some reason it still isn't working, try changing mms port to 8080, reboot once more and try again.
i'm using these settings with at&t gophone on my n4, and although i do have a data plan, i don't see why they wouldn't work without one.

Tried both, neither worked. The weirdest part is if you send a picture, and it's in the "sending" stage, and reboot your phone, right when the phone turns on, it will send. Then after about a minute they won't send anymore. Same thing will happen if you hurry up and try to send a pic right when it reboots.
