Medianet or Smartphone Data Plan on At&t? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So will At&t recognize this phone as Smartphone and will require $20 or $30 data plan or medianet plan will work? Any feedback?

Smartphone, obviously.

Drumist doesn't know what he's talking about. The Galaxy Nexus got about a year of medianet service, I think we can expect the Nexus 4 to do the same since AT&T won't have the IMEI's for these phones.

What do you mean 1 year of service?

The gnex was marked as not medianet about a week ago along with many other Samsung phones. The Nexus 4 is likely to last longer since LG does not have a history of sharing IMEI's with carriers.

The nexus 4 should work fine on medianet just like every other unlocked unbranded att compatible device. With the exception of samsung and htc nexus devices.
My international galaxy note has been working fine on medianet for almost a year now. Unless LG gave att their IMEI's the nexus 4 should fly under the radar with medianet.

So would we just use the imei number of the nexus 4 and select the unlimited data for feature phones? Even with that route it comes to about 70 but 61 with a corporate discount. Might do this if possible.

Are there any updates on this? Has anyone tried?

For those using medianet plan did att throttle your speeds? were you able to get hspa+ on medianet vs the regular data plan($30/3GB)?

how do we choose medianet plan?

I recently received a text message stating that I needed a data plan in order to use my current phone.
(Pantech Link with 10/month unlimited data is my current plan)
I have switched out my at&t sim into these phones
1. Galaxy s blaze 4g
2. t989 (tmobile galaxy s ii)
I received this messages after 4 months of continuous usage on the blaze.
I didnt realize at&t had tmobile IMEIs
I called up att and they stated that "I was using a samsung and their system doesnt glitch"
how can I avoid this text message switching me onto a smartphone data plan.
So what phones can I use with the media-net plan and be completely protected?

This is my experience. I've had the international sgs2 and galaxy note. I was able to use the non-smartphone plan with both of those. Last week I received my nexus 4 and called at&t to change from a smartphone plan to a non-smartphone plan. I told them that I had an old phone and I wanted to remove the lte plan and add the $15 media net. Everything went well until she tried to add the media net to my plan. She said that she couldn't find my phone's imei in their data base. I told her that its not an at&t phone, its an old gsm phone that I purchased from eBay. She fiddled around for probably 10 minutes trying to find out exactly what kind of phone I had. I could here her typing and talking to somebody and then she read from her computer screen, "Google Nexus 4". She said that she used Google to find out what kind of phone I had. This is the first time this has happened to me. She said that now they can not add any data to a phone if they don't know exactly what the phone is.

Question is;
Why did you give her IMEI from your N4?
Is your sgs2 still working? What IMEI do they have for sgs2?

Bell/Unbranded Atrix on AT&T <=> data plan upgrade...

Hi, here is my current situation: I’m using Nexus One on ATT with $10 unlimited data plan (dumb phone data on family plan). Since Nexus One was not sold at ATT they don’t recognize my IMEI number, so my data still remains $10 (for about 2 years already).
Now, if I upgrade to Bell Atrix will ATT find out and upgrade me to smartphone data? Basically does ATT have IMEI for Canadian Atrixes or unbranded Atrixes from Europe?

How can nobody know the answer to this yet! Has anyone found this out yet?
I would say don't upgrade cause they will DEFINITELY change your plan if you upgrade to a smartphone.
The real answer is nobody knows if att has bell atrix imei numbers in their database, so who knows if they'll catch you or not.

You will still be charged $10. I did this with a bell desire z and they still recognized it as a "dumb phone." Its a great loophole.

It's extremely funny how that works. If you have a dumb phone on att you can have unlimited data for $10 a month. If they don't know your phone is a smartphone, the same rules apply. However let me share what happened to me. I started beta testing phones for Motorola, Android smartphones like the Motorola Flipout and Motorola Bravo and a couple others. I figured out sense att didn't know what phone it was by the imei I could get away with unlimited for $10 a month. I took advantage of that and used tons of data with tethering and such (over 3GB a month) even though they didn't know my phone was a smartphone later on I got sent the sent me the "did you know smarphones require smartphone data plans..." and than any time after that I tried using an un-att phone, not even a smartphone, it would give me that message.
Decided I'd share. BTW, I wouldn't switch. Unlimited for $10 is an amazing deal, just don't over abuse it like I did.
When I used to work for att, I used to set my friends up on that plan. Back when the tilt(8925) was da shyt.If you going to change phones just make sure u have a dumb phones imei number in case u have to call in for any reason

Yeah, that doesn't work anymore, i installed my simcard (from my Nexus) into iphone and within 25 mins recieved text saying something like "welcome in, your data plan was upgraded to $25/month".

Need Answers ASAP! Dell Streak TO Galaxy S II!

Hi!
I am going to switch to sprint from AT&T because I lost my job. I am going to get onto my mother-in- law’s plan because my wife is already on it. They have a family plan so I was just going to jump onto their plan to save money.
The only problem is that I have a Dell Streak and am so in love with it. I have the awesome stock unlocked factory ROM on it and can tether with an unlimited data plan. It’s a great phone but does seem a little out dated by being a little slow. Also I am tired of paying 85.00 a month for unlimited mobile to mobile, unlimited data, and unlimited testing. I know it’s a decent deal but money is tight at the moment.
The only solution so far is to go to sprint because that is what my wife and mother-in-law are have. The only close phone that sprint has that is close to what I have is the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G. The phone would be 19.95 a month and 10.00 a month for the data for that phone. I am wondering if there is a huge ROM support group for the Galaxy S II if I wanted to say put Ice Cream Sandwich on it stock style with unlock tethering with the sprint network. I know some networks make it real hard to change your ROM’s phone.
The other choice would be just to go with the Samsung Replenish because it seems like a decent phone and has Android capabilities but I just think I would find myself depressed going from an extreme mod phone like the Dell Streak to the Samsung Replenish.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Let me know the ins and outs of moding a Galaxy S II on the Sprint network. And what phone you think would be best. You think the extra 10.00 is worth the Galaxy S II? I just think I will be going for the Galaxy S II because that is what I am used to.
Side note is that I am 8 months from my contract expiring with AT&T and have unlimited data smartphone plan. I was thinking about using an extra lame old phone that I have laying around the house and taking of my data plan by calling in and say I do not have it any more I just have a basic phone and ask them to remove my data plan. This was when I port my number over to Sprint they will only charge me the basic termination fee than the more expensive one because I had a smartphone. Do you think this would work?
Best,

If you get the GT-19100 model then development is awesome, there are new roms and themes every day. I moved from Dell Streak to Galaxy SII, the only thing I miss is 160dpi being readable
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
How do you know if you get that model? check the back of it? do you get that one at the Sprint store?
I have not bought one yet. I could call and ask or go by there and ask to see the one in the box before I get it.
Also do you think its a big deal to give up my unlimited data plan on AT&T?
Are the brand new ones in the stores today the GT-19100 model? Also are the white ones GT-19100?
I called the store and they say its the D710? Is that an entirely different model?
Thats the unlocked version and is not compatible with Sprint!
Why give up your streak? Check slickdeals, fatwallet or howard forums to learn about mvno's. Straight talk is 45 unlimited everything on at&t. You have to sign up in a particular state to avoid tax. Otherwise simple mobile is unlimited everything on tmobile's network for 40. Both these mvno's supposedly have fine print on data usage but everyone says they don't care if you abuse the data usage.
Personally I use H20 another at&t mvno. I use groove ip the majority of the day since I have wifi and I just switch my phone out of airplane mode when I'm not near wifi. I know there's a tasker app for this... H20 has a cheap plan that is 100 up front for the year for 2000 min and data.
There's also page plus which I've set up a lot of people on- they use verizon's network- no unlimited data but they have the best plan for 30.
Could I use my Streak on any of those carriers?
The i9100 is the International version which is unavailable at any carrier. You will have to buy it outright off ebay or somewhere like that....Any other model has límited ROM development....
I have one and love it but the ICS roms are still buggy

There is the GT-19100 which is the one you'll find in Europe and America, then there's an GT-19100G which has a different graphics chip, it is not as powerful as the original. It says under the battery cover, there's a lot more development for the original, the G lacks devs. You can unlock any Galaxy phone from an app in the market too
That link that you posted was for the Galaxy S I not the II.
Sprint is getting the Galaxy Nexus soon.
Will that have good 4G LTE? Should I wait for the rumored Galaxy Note? Or should I just get the Nexus 4G LTE?

Anyone Running Their Nexus 4 On AT&T MediaNet?

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.

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.

$10 family unlimited plan on AT&T? With Nexus 4?

I know att sells the LG Optimus G.
But is anyone using the Nexus 4 on the $10/family unlimited data plan for feature phones since att doesn't carry the nexus 4? Heard people got away with $10 data plan on Galaxy Nexus. But ATT audited Nexus One owners a couple of years ago and switched them.
So LG Optimus G is similar to Nexus 4 so maybe ATT may audit Nexus 4 also?
I am getting my Nexus 4 today. I have iPhone 5 as my main line. But would like to add data to my Nexus 4 with secondary line. Not going to use much data anyways but don't want to pay $30 for data I don't need and 300mb $20 plan is a rip off.

The IMEI number of this phone is not in AT&T's system, its completely different than the optimus. You'll have to call them to make sure of the IMEI number and they should be able to put you on that plan. It will be considered a simple phone. Its $10 data with $10 unlimited text or $15 data only.

ATT system of detecting phones is screwy. I had blackberry bold international unlocked and it didn't recognize it. But ATT recognized my unlocked T-mobile branded blackberry curve as a Blackberry Pearl.

Yeah. Seems like it. That's why I asked the question.
Sometimes ATT's systems recognized non ATT smartphones (like the original Nexus One) and ATT put people who were on the $10/15 feature phone data plan and switched them automatically onto the $30 smartphone data plan.
But I think people who had international Galaxy S3 and other non ATT phones can get away with the $10/15 feature phone data plans.

[Q] What are my Pay as you go sim card options for Nexus 4 unlocked?

Hi,
I saw that Google is offering an unlocked Nexus 4 for $199, so I went and ordered one.
I don't use cell phone minutes too much in a month as I often have access to Wifi in my area. I was wondering what pay as you go sim card options are compatible with this device (in the USA).
For example, I saw an ATT GoPhone plan that is $2 per day of use which I think may work for me, but I don't know if it is compatible with the Nexus 4 or if there are other similar or better options.
Thank you
Is that $2 every day or just the days you use it? That would still be $60/month.
As long as you can get a micro SIM card, any plan should work.
You could do tmobiles 30$ plan. 100 minutes, text unlimited and 5gb of 4g data then slowed down after that. Not a pay as you go but seems way cheaper and better than what you had in mind.

I just bought 2 N4's from GPlay as well and have been looking for the best option. I know that for my area the only two options are T-Mo and Straight Talk. Both have inexpensive monthly plans. It basically comes down to which carrier provides better service on your area. I chose T-Mo. If after I activate my phones, I'm not pleased, I'll try out the other monthly carrier next month.

you do realize that straight talk probably will use T-Mobile towers and more than likely will give you worse reception. Now if you have AT&T in your area then Straight Talk may use them. T-Mo can be 40-60 a month and Straight Talk is about 45 a month
there are threads in xda and the web with a breakdown of every MVNO and prepaid cell company out there.. Just Google it

I'm using Simple Mobile. It's part of the Tracfone family. Unlimited everything (even 4G - HSPA+ or LTE with patch). There are two options for unlimited everything $40 and $50. The $40 option supposedly throttles you after 500mb (haven't seen it yet and always over 500 x2 or 3), $50 no throttle.
All the Sim seller did was cut down a Sim for me.

Thank you for your replies, I will be going through them for more information
As for the $2/day then you only pay $2 on the days that you use it.
Also, I am not interested at all in using a plan that includes data, my wifi connections are good enough for that. I am more interested in making phone calls from time to time, especially in cases of emergency or when away from wifi. Maybe on average I use less than 100 minutes a month.
Then you might as well do pay as you go, and save even more by using Vonage to make free calls over Wi-Fi. I still recommend the T-Mobile $30 100min/5GB plan though.
Simple mobile also has a talk and text plan. As well, for others, they just up'ed the amount of 4g data on all their plans. So my $40 plan is now 1gb of 4g before they supposedly throttle me

If you don't plan to use very many minutes and you don't need to use any data then I'd recommend Lycamobile. It is a T-Mobile MVNO, so as long as you have good T-Mobile service in your area you'll be good. http://www.lycamobile.us/en/national-plans
