Nexus 7 3G question - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What sim does this use? Micro or mini?
If I have a T-Mobile sim for my phone, can I take it out of my phone and put it in the nexus 7 to use my data plan on my nexus (if my phone died)

As several threads here pointed out pre-release, it has a micro-SIM. Same one used by the Samsung Galaxy SIII or iPhone 4.

I assumed that would be the case. I'm more curious about the second part of my question, but thanks for the response.

Because I don't have a 3g tablet. I want to know before I waste time and money by buying the 3g version

I have some spare SIMs with data, and I would like to the know the answer too.

Was wondering the same thing and tried my phone sim on my wife's Nexus 3G and it worked fine for data and sms (using go sms pro).
She has a Telstra 3G prepaid sim and I used my Vodafone sim no problems, just had to manually set APN settings when changing cards, no biggie.

Very good to know, thank you.

The OP's question was for a T-Mobile SIM. No, TMo will not let you use data on a voice plan SIM that's been inserted into a recognized tablet. The N73G is a recognized tablet.

Well I live in Oz so never used T-mobile before and obviously had no idea how their plans worked, was only sharing what I personally tried with local carriers

I have at least 5 times. The tab is so compact it fits in my back pocket. I just whip it out and tap. I have it synced up to my citicard. It worked flawlessly. Just make sure you tell the teller you're paying with credit.

New owner, question about apn and AT&T

I just got a nexus 4, I'm on att and I pulled my sim directly from an iPhone 5, use an adapter.
It works fine and gets data and it will show and H, when I'm on H+, does it show the +?
Or does the H represent H and H+?
Do I new to create a custom apn other than what the phone assigned stock?
Thanks, just want the fastest speeds I can get.
Don't know what APN you're using, so you may be leaving some speed on the table.... But you are correct that the "H" represents all forms of HSPA, including +

Some Roms actually show the plus also and there's also a thread to show you how to make it show the H, H+ or 4G if that's your preference. Sorry for not linking it, kind of a pain to do from the xda app.

Mine is the same way, but I just put "phone" and don't even touch the other fields. Pta is for lte, phone is for hspa+.

Does this give you the h+ speeds? I'm using it right now but I can't get the h+ network, but I can on the stock APN.

I get pretty good speeds with "phone". I usually get between 3 and 5mbps where I live which is fine for me. What speeds are you getting? I never even looked at the stock setting because I unlocked, rooted and flashed xylon right away. Was stock the WAP.Cingular APN?

It's because of how the iPhone LTE plan you came from is provisioned. It's different than the rest of their LTE plans. Just leave "phone" instead of "pta" and you'll be fine.

Nexus 7 3g VoIP and use my phones sim

Hello , I've been using the sip/VoIP on my nexus with my phones Sim card ,I'm on grandfathered data plan, just wondering has anyone noticed any issues in billing or other charges for using this? Is there anything else I should know? I have been searching online weather it is illegal or not and cannot come up with anything.

No one knows. Try it out

Not sure if it helps but from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036344, looks like you get charged data rate for sending sms, guessing voip/sip calls would charge data rate as well since only gsm calls with get deducted from your calls quota.
As far as any legal problems, I never heard of any such things, but it pays to check with some1 that knows ur country's local laws just to be on the safe side

So I have this idea...

I was hoping to get some opinions on this idea since T-Mobile's coverage is pretty bad in my neighborhood. I'm thinking of porting my number to Google voice then pointing it to a Skype number and running it all through clear 4g for $50/mo unlimited with unlimited calling on Skype for $3/mo. Thoughts?

Depends on if you want to have a phone when you really need it. VoIP is useless without a high speed connection.

If you don't have a good cell coverage, nothing will magically give you a reliable service, unless you have WiFi everywhere you go.

Save yourself from the trouble and switch to AT&T. I really think it's a ridiculous idea.

T-Mobile Sim

I have HTC One, and I'm getting a sealed brand new Nexus 4. Can I just throw in the micro Sim that I'm using on HTC one to be able to work and registers automatically to my account?

It should all you need to do is reboot the phone after putting it in from my understanding. Before I bought mine I had the guy put the sim in and it worked.
