I have Motorola Xoom 4g (just sent it in for the upgrade) and a Thunderbolt (also 4g). I have an unlimited data plan with the phone number on my Thunderbolt.
Does anyone know if I can switch my unlimited data plan to the Xoom? Would I have to switch SIM or can I just call Verizon?
Nope you can't!

Are you sure (from experience?). I can pop my thunderbolt sim in my usb lte modem or mifi without any problems.

Yeah, not a problem. Even shows the new device in my online account. The LTE user guide specifically says that you can do this:
"You can move the 4G LTE SIM Card from one device to another and your wireless service will work seamlessly as long as you have a compatible device and service plan"
So far, my regular plan has been considered compatible for them...

That would be AWESOME! I use my tablet for school and run to my 3GB limit every month. I could probably easily pull out 5GB if I used it how I wanted to. That unlimited plan is much needed.
Wait til they see you doing it! Then your hit with huge date charges for it. It may work but remember you got warned ahead of time.

Are you posting this from experience, or just something you think may happen? I've not heard from anyone that saw extra charges. As long as you don't go over you data bundle limit, you shouldn't see anything.

Thats the whole point of a Sim card is to be able to move it from device to device... Even their own documentation says that. But who knows with VZW. When I had T-mobile and At&t I used to swap Sims all the time.
All I'm saying is the sim is not just for data. They may not care. I would just be cautious because the xoom is a 3g/4g device. The 3g is not on an unlimited data. The sim should work no problem though. I wish they would offer an unlimited plan for the xoom.

OK, no offense here, but it really benefits everyone if you don't just make crap up. Your initial post simply said it would not work, and you had nothing to back it up with. Then you said they'd charge more, once again with nothing to back it up with. Unless you have experience in being billed for LTE data usage on a sim-swapped device, just ignore the question, or post "I'd like to know this too, because I don't actually know anything about it".
Thunderbolt sim moves to my UML290 to my Samsung LTE hotspot without a single problem, and as long as I don't bump past the 5GB, nothing in my plan entitles Verizon to any extra revenue from me. If I ever see any charges, I'll be sure to post about it.
Will 3g also work through the sim? This is without having any type of data plan on the XOOM.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
I was wrong it will work, but if you have a data plan on your xoom you risk the 3g switching on. If you have no data then your actually good, that is if you can get the xoom to activate with the sim. Turns out they added a second number to the xoom during the upgrade. And it links the sim, serial number, and imei together. Did I leave anything out this time?

Uhhhh... Unlimited 4G includes unlimited 3G. If it didnt, people would be paying for a mostly useless data plan, as 4G coverage is very limited in most areas. And yes, I know this from experience.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
The 3G data chip doesn't use the SIM card though, it's activated separately through the phone. A Xoom without that 3G activation won't be able to use the 3G network even if you put an active 4G SIM card in it.
Also, there are people here saying the 4G SIM is more than just data on a phone. That is not true. Current Verizon devices use 3G for voice, and 4G for data.
Why do people not get that? I have unlimited on my TB too ya know! If I pull the sim I still have unlimited 3g, put the sim in my xoom I have 1gb 3g and unlimited 4g. Now unless mister know it all has figured out how to shut the cdma side of the xoom down, we can't do it without getting caught! Tell me you have plz! Yes my meds have made me moody! And yes I am arguing! But at the same time, I love a good argument. If I'm wrong I will admit it too!

Actually if you pull the sim out of your Tbolt you cant do anything but make emergency calls
Damn!!! See I was wrong on that one.

hammer4203,
Just to clarify some things to help your understanding...
I have the TB, Bionic, and Xoom.
When I first got the TB, I went from my Incredible to the TB by using the "activate phone" option on the Verizon My Account web site. It did ask for the SIM and IMEI of the TB, then I had to power the phone on and all was good. Verizon's web site saw my phone as the TB.
When I got the Bionic, activation was as easy as... power off both phones, take the SIM out of the TB, put it in the Bionic, and power the Bionic on. After that, VZW's web page automatically recognized my phone as the Bionic now (without my doing anything but moving the SIM). Switching back to the TB is just as easy... and I can switch between the 4G/LTE phones at will, just by powering off and moving the SIM.
The TB or the Bionic will NOT work for anything but emergency calls with the SIM removed. i.e. 1x, evdo, 3G, 4G do not work without SIM.
My Xoom just got back from its 4g update, and I haven't tried using the SIM from my 4G phones in the XOOM yet. But I'd be willing to guess that if the data plan is "compatible" between the phones and xoom, it will work just fine.
Hey guys, I was searching the interwebs for some general unlocking info and I found this from a couple years ago. Pretty interesting I think, what happened to this? Are they actually reflashing phones in-store? As far as the "gradual opening of the US wireless market"...it's gradual indeed

Thread moved. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
MetroPCS will allow you to use some CDMA handsets from other providers, yes. But you don't get data; you'll have to figure out how to do that yourself. I know plenty of folks who put OG Droids and EVOs on Ghettro, though I don't know why... 1xRTT is pretty miserable, way too slow for a real smartphone... and their LTE isn't compatible with Verizon LTE handsets afaik.

Interesting. So are GSM data standards are more inter-compatible between carriers than with CDMA? (I had to look up what 1xRTT is =) )

It's the same principle, each carrier runs their network on different frequencies, except most who use the same technology also use the same texting/phone frequencies.
If Metro had the same 3G bands as Verizon, a Verizon phone would work fine.
MetroPCS doesn't have EV-DO at all.
Yes they do. if you are using their latest .prl (3025) and your phone is 3G capable, you will get 3G in the rare places where it is available. i live in nyc and did not get 3g on metro unless i went to Brooklyn . i used the speedtest app and it got 300ish kbps on an evdo network. not bad speed for metropcs, but very slow compared to what im using now.

There are two stores around me that do it. $50 to get your phone on there network. Only one of them does the data. Not sure how much they charge. But it's not officially done by metro. It's individuals who work in the store and the money goes to them.

What's double data. I typically use around 150 gb a month. That's why I like unlimited.
I met a guy recently on Simple Mobile and he seemed happy, I'm thinking of switching soon. I mean, unlimited 3G data, text and talk for $40 a month including international texting? Considering my phone only does 3G (Vibrant) anyways...
But, I also don't use that much data.

They have a promo where if you order 2GB for 30$ you automatically get 4GB and, pay for 5GB ($50) get 10GB, and so on....
ALSO: To anyone thinking of Simple mobile go with the higher priced option. The 40$ dollar option doesn't give you access to 4G speeds (T-Mobile's HSPA+ in this case) even if your phone is only 3G capable you will see a speed boost.

I've been running phones on medianet unlimited for over 7 years now. In the past I saw threads where the original Nexus and Nexus S were detected by AT&T and were forced to use smartphone plans. Before purchasing this phone I wanted to check if this version of the Nexus was also detected as a smartphone. I've been using an international galaxy Note for a year on the $10 medianet plan and was hoping the Nexus 4 could also work on medianet.
Thanks
No, sorry

I think the question is not in th APN used, but if AT&T recognizes IMEI number as smartphone - if it does, it will force data plan on you.
I've been usin Nokia phones for several years across the family and haven't paid more than $10/month for unlimited internet...
Wonder if the same trick will work with Nexus 4...
Anyone n the know - could you please post?
when I get my N4, I plan on switching to medianet $15/month unlimited data. Hopefully they wont recognize the IMEI
Medianet plan does not work with nexus 4..just came from att store..and rep put medianet plan for me..but when i got home..i recived text from att that i have smartphone.
Been running MediaNet all day on my N4, got a smartphone prompt on my GNex a few times...a quick call into customer service fixes it right away.

It is, you can find it by going to settings>about phone>status and look under mobile network type.

Just ordered the gn4 for the gf, hopefully the dumb phone data plan will still work for it
Yeah definitely hoping this will not get flagged and continue working. The phone has amazing specs and is dirt cheap. Definitely much cheaper than the HTC One X and has pretty much the same specs but for half the price.

AT&T doesn't seem to know this phone's a smartphone. When I switched my SIM from my Nexus One to the Nexus 4, my 2GB DataPro plan was removed and changed to whatever their dumbphone unlimtied plan was.
It was a pain in ass to get them to switch it back to a 2GB DataPro w/ LTE plan. Without the LTE plan, you don't have access to the HSPA+ APN, so you'll be limited to 1mbit downstream max. People have been getting ~3-5mbit (or higher I think) on the HSPA+ APN.

Where'd you hear that the MediaNET cap is 1Mbps? AFAIK, it's 7Mbps. That's what the GSIII forums say. I can't even run Speedtest.net (says I'm getting 0.8KB/s...) so I can't verify, but I'm pretty sure I'm getting over 1Mbps. In fact, the Galaxy S came from still gets 400KB/s (~3.2Mbps) so I'm pretty sure that MediaNET goes above 1Mbps.

I didn't hear that MEdiaNet was throttled, but I did experience something similar to your situation. While on "wap.cingular", Speedtest.net would act strange(9kbps downstream, ~1mbit up). I went to the store and got a new MicroSIM I couldn't get anything faster than 1Mbit. I called in, told them the Nexus 4 was an LTE phone so I could get provisioned for the HSPA+ APN's. They told me to power cycle (I just switched APN's from "wap.cingular" to "pta"), and I immediately saw 3Mbit.
So given this, I can only deduce that whatever plan I was provisioned for when I was taken off my 2GB DataPro was capped at 1Mbit. Given your findings, I'm concluding that anyone that had 3G service(MEdiaNet) before they rolled out HSPA+/LTEhad an unthrottled 3G service and anyone that gets it today gets throttled("Featurephone Data").
Also, the fact your Speedtest.net app is acting funny is usually a sign you're on the gimped plan that I got auto-switched to("Featurephone Data").
I can only guess and share my experiences -- since it seems the AT&T monster and their inner workings are far more complex then I gave them credit for. The same wap.cingular APN I was on, doesn't seem to be the same one those GS III guys are on.
Tbh, I don't really care for this thread. I can see that I'm getting HSPA+:15 when I use cellular data, and my transfer speeds are as good as they were with my old phone. I'm only paying $10 for almost 3G (US 3G is the worst 3G...), and ~400KB/s is fast enough for my usage. I can even streaming HD Netflix; I don't, but it's a good benchmark.
Also, the MediaNET plans are not monitored for consumption at all, so I have a true unlimited plan. When I first moved into a new apartment last October, Comcast was being stupid and couldn't get me internet for 3 weeks. I tethered for myself, my roommate, and all of our many daily guests. >10GB down during that time, at least 2GB up, and not a word from AT&T. Until AT&T gets a Nexus 4 variant, I'm not worried about my IMEI being recognized as a smartphone and automatically jacked up to an overpriced 2GB plan with faster speeds but marginal real-world benefit.

Hi, XDA
Needed a little help currently here in the good old U.S.A and on verizon wireless i am thinking about switching carriers one reason is my phone of choice is the Htc One, also thinking of switching because of the things that i can do on some of the other networks here in the states like talk and surf at the same time not only on 4g lte but also on 3g hspa+, which is another thing that i liked because if im in an area that 4g lte is not available i can fall back on hspa+ which is faster than verizon cdma 3g network that tops out at 1.5-2mb down and .4mb up.
The reason why i am holding on to verizon is that I have unlimited data no throttling or data overages and I am planning to buy my phones at full retail to keep me out of contracts with these companies and also keep my unlimited data because i use alot of data i mean 8gb a month avaerage over 4months i guess if i stay with verizon i would have to settle for the samsung plastic s4 or wait for the google x phone. just want to hear some opinions or advice thanks in advance.
Sprint is your only option for unlimited data. They don't have HSPA, but are substantially cheaper than Verizon.
I just switched from Verizon to ATT yesterday coming from Unlimited as well.
I switched mainly because of the lack of service in my area of work and lack of availability of phones. Does going from Unlimited to 5Ggb suck, yes, but I also have service where I work and will be able to get the beloved HTC One. I'll just need to keep an eye on my usage from now on.
I pay $10 for every GB I go over which doesn't sound too bad to me.

Straight Talk is AT&T MVNO and offers "unlimited" everything at $45/month, no contract. I have been using it with Galaxy Nexus for over a year.
When my unlocked HTC One arrives I will trim the sim and use it.
I'm joining my fiance's AT&T plan here in NY, there data for two lines isn't horrible. $150 for Unlimited Talk/Text and 4GB shared data for $150 for a few business/pleasure phones isn't too bad, she's paying $100 a month for her non-smartphone though, ****ing crazy!

Im thinking of switching to simple mobile. They say bring your own phone and they can switch you from any factory unlocked device. Not sure if it works with the N3 but their prices seem really good. 60 bucks for unlimited everything.
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Free mobile app
I think pretty much any carrier offers prepaid, if you bring a device, or buy one outright with no contract.
In that case I would look and see what kind of reception you get with sprint and tmobile. Only ones still w/unlimited data.
If one of those gets you a good signal I'd go with that. Otherwise straight talk or something like that.

Im thinking of switching to simple mobile. They say bring your own phone and they can switch you from any factory unlocked device. Not sure if it works with the N3 but their prices seem really good. 60 bucks for unlimited everything.

And what city is that? My magic crystal ball is broken. How can someone recommend a carrier if we don't know where the hell you are or what carriers are available in your "city."

Thanks I was just wondering what other providers will work with Verizon phones
Hows the Tmobile service in your area? Im using my Verizon Note 3 on Metropcs which runs off Tmobile. The service is great here in the Houston areas. I get 4gLTE but you might not, depending on your area. At the very least you should get HSPA+. I use about 30gb of 4gLTE data a month and never get throttled. I pay $60 a month with taxes included.

As others have asked where are you located? It looks like Memphis. T-Mobile if you live in a big city. However if you every leave to smaller towns you are screwed. People I know have gone to Straight Talk said the same towers of all the big carriers is a joke as they deal with allot of dropped calls or no service.
Yeah I might just pick up a Verizon prepaid sim for now
I here simple wireless is pretty decent.
Anyone have tmobile on Verizon phone? How's mms and data
