I know a lot of folks plan on tethering their Xooms, but I thought I would actually try activating it since I'm not on contract and can cancel/suspend at any time.
I go into Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Activate device, I touch 'activate', it works for a moment, then errors out saying "Unable to activate mobile data service. To try activation again, touch Try Again."
I've seen other folks complain about this, but I didn't see a solution. Is it something obvious I'm missing, or do I actually have to call in to VZW and do it over the phone? If the latter, that's really a letdown, considering I can activate a new phone in seconds without talking to a CS rep. Just thought I'd ask to see if I'm missing something before I call.

Did you activate it with Verizon? ie, do you have a Verizon account and have activated it either with BestBuy, Costco, Verizon store, or over the phone? You have to register the device with the company first. Phones are the same way on Verizon. AT&T and T-Mobile use Sim cards instead, and they are already 'active'.
If not, press the SKIP button on the bottom right to activate over WiFi. It's not worth the $20/mo for 1GB and $35 activation fee.
Yup, I was one of people that was having a lot of trouble with this. The device wont activate by it self,this is what you have to do you have to go to the verizon website and go to their phone activation page and enter your Xooms MEID HEX number (found on the plastic wrap which was covering the back, when you first unboxed it, so make sure you didnt throw away the plastic wraping). From there, you just have to follow the on screen instructions. Also the website asks for your SSN and your Drivers license number for credit approval (this took a whole day) after that they will contact you saying you are ready and that now you can go into settings and network and click activate device.
Also if you by any chance threw away the plastic wrapping, you can find the MEID HEX number on the Xooms box itself. Also to get to the verizon activation site faster al you have to do is google "verizon activation" ----> then click on the second link "Activate Your Verizon Phone | Verizon Wireless" then just enter your Xooms MEID HEX number.

THANK YOU, this is what I was looking for! I had tried logging into my VZW account to activate a new device, and all it would allow was for a new phone, not a new device/data package on our account. I couldn't even enter an MEID.
Found the link in question, I can enter the MEID and establish new service.
For anyone else wondering:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/activate-phone.shtml
I still find it a bit strange that the entire activation process can't be handled through the Xoom itself - seems like you should be able to enter your VZW account into (if you have one already), pick a plan, click through, etc. Activating a phone on an existing line of service is trivially easy via *228, you don't even need to enter an MEID. Not to mention, I do believe you can activate service directly on the iPad, can you not?
I received my Xoom yesterday and after it found my network and I entered the pass key it connected and worked without issue all night. Just got home from work today and it says "no internet connection." It keeps trying to obtain an IP address but just times out and tries again. Its been doing this for a half hour. I tried rebooting it but still the same. Any ideas?

That was exactly my question as well, i think what happened was that Verizon setup according to their original plan, which was to have people activate in store so people would pay for the activation fee and have a credit approval done so that they would have no problems in the future. But due to the recent uproar from the android community about the "required 1 month plan" they decided to drop the plan at the last minute. So hence the reason why you have to go through all this trouble to activate 3g, because it was never set to be an out of the box activation or at least that is what I would conclude through my experience. iPad on the other hand (was an owner of the iPad) AT&T set it up according to apples request, which was to have the device out of the box ready for activation. They made it simple by allowing people to just create an account and enter their credit card information, and pick their plan. Reasons to why these companies have such a different approach to this situation.....I have no idea. But there probably is a reason, but iam just not aware of it.

1.) I'm in no way calling you stupid, but have you made sure that airplane mode isnt on?
2.) Since you said you tried a restart and that seemed to not work, try restarting your wireless router.
3.) If that doesnt work, just try and disconnect and reconnect to the network.
If none of these work then you might have to call motorola.
I did not realize I would have to pay the activation fee everytime I wanted to have a data plan. That's very frustrating considering it's the same cost as a months data for 3GB. I wanted to turn it off an on as I needed (on a month-to-month basis) but I will probably just leave it off now...kinda makes me want to sell my 3G model and get a wifi only...unless I'm understanding this wrong?

I read somewhere that you can suspend your account instead of cancelling which will avoid this but I am not sure if this works since I have never had Verizon.

I looked into that, but it looks like you can only do it for a couple of months, and also only once a year.
Seriously, that sucks. Why charge an activation fee for something that can be done completely automated online? Not like there's some dude sitting there setting all these up manually...just a way to make quick and easy money on VZW's part.

I wish they had rollover data like AT&T rollover minutes. That would make it more appealing to keep the month to month service. Verizon is just way expensive.
You can indeed suspend your account here : http://support.vzw.com/clc/plan/
I have not been able to activate my device by the previous link. It gives me a number to call. Anyone else seeing this?

3G overseas
I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to activate the 3G overseas. I bought my Xoom a week ago at BestBuy, but I live in Bolivia, so came back to my country and now I'm trying to find out if there is a way I can activate the 3G service here. Anyone? Thanks!

You need to find a carrier that uses CDMA and ask them if they can activate it. There is no other option really. My first guess would be that there are no carriers like that.

You can find the MEID number by going to settings-->about tablet-->status. It will open a new scrollable window with all sorts of info.

I think that I have same issue. I bought my XOOM in bestbuy ( US ) and brought it to Europe. Here I have O2 SIM card with 3G Data program. I am trying to use it with XOOM but no success so far.
Bauxite - are you trying to say that 3G module inside of XOOM is different for US as is requred in EU? Are there some different standards of 3G? I am worried that I could save couple of hundreds $ if I bought only WIFI version

Why didn't you research what you were buying before spending more than $800? The Xoom you bought is a CDMA device and will not work on GSM networks.
I have Google Wallet on my Galaxy Nexus, and wanted to add the same card to my Nexus 7. Whenever I try to add the card, I get a message telling me to carefully review my information because somehting is incorrect. I called Citi and had them verify all the information on my account was correct and that they haven't sent me a new card or canceled mine without me knowing. According to the customer service agent, everything is correct. I am currently on hold waiting for Nexus customer support (about 15 minutes into the wait right now) but was wondering if anyone has had any issues or knows of anyone that may have had issues with doing this.
Edit to add:
Got in touch with someone (1h11m wait) and was told that you can only use 1 device per card and that if I want to use the same Citi card with Wallet on the Nexus 7, I have to disable it in the Galaxy Nexus first.
Hello everyone,
I recently purchased the Nexus 4 directly from the Google website, had it shipped to Romania and here I bought a prepaid card and went away and activated it.
Everything works perfect, except I just noticed that some applications can't log on to the mobile network.
I installed Triple Town and since I already bought the item "Unlimited turns" on another device I wanted to Restore my purchases and have it on the Nexus 4 as well. I get some sort of "Network unavailable" error and I can't restore my purchases. Buying "turns" via the Play Store works, however.
I thought it was an application-only error until I downloaded Iron Man 3 via WiFi. When I try to launch it I get "A network error has occured. Do you want to try again?", even though I'm online.
Does any of you know what the issue might be here?
Thanks in advance,
Rob

I received my ChatSim Plus 3-in-1 SIM card direct from Italy late last week. They strongly suggest turning off data access to any app except those that send text. I kept on access to WhatsApp, Skype, Google Hangouts. They say it also works with iMessage, and it does to a degree. If you use iMessage in conjunction with e-mail addresses, you're fine. If you used iMessage with a carrier-assigned phone number, that does not work.
When you insert your ChatSim in an iPhone, iMessage will want to link the ChatSim carrier-assigned number to iMessage. This process fails. The number ChatSim gives you is in Estonia. That shouldn't impede full iMessage functionality, but there's that one glitch.
ChatSim says they will block your SIM if you use it for "abnormal" no texting traffic. Trying to figure out where the boundary is, and given my purchase of the SIM came with €5 (five euros) credit, I decided to run a Speedtest. I'm in the United States. On the "automatic" setting, ChatSim immediately connected to T-Mobile 3G. The Speedtest on T-Mobile came back 390ms ping, 2.87Mbps down, 1.58Mbps up. I switched off "automatic" and forced the SIM onto AT&T. The Speedtest no longer had access to data. I was only able to receive the SMS from the good ChatSim folks telling me I'd been consuming "abnormal" data and I'd been blocked.
When you're blocked you can still send and receive SMS (but not MMS), except if you're on iPhone. In order to unblock/restore data, you have to add €10 to your Private Area. So I did. This was Thursday.
I used ChatSIM exclusively, with extremely limited access to data for apps. I was able to start a Skype audio call, send and receive text and calls in Google Hangouts. Everything was good. I also left on access to some apps that use A-GPS for location services. From Thursday through Monday, everything was good. Today, Tuesday as I'm out and about, I get an SMS from ChatSim warning me of "abnormal" usage. Moments later a second SMS arrived informing me I'd been blocked. Between Thursday evening and Tuesday early afternoon, my data manager app says I used 39MB. Cost of the SIM and shipping aside, $10.50 for 39MB is not a good deal in my opinion.

Yeah it all depends in which zone you are. For zone 1 a 10 Euro ($10.5) gives you 2000 credits, which equates to 40Mb. That's not a lot at all if you're a heavy data user. Luckily I only use Whatsapp when I'm out and about, so I think Chatsim is ideal for me.
The other "catch" with their data packages is that you shouldn't use more than 60% of the data allowance in a single Zone.
The real downside to Chatsim, in order for it to be a feasible solution to using Whatsapp at home and abroad, is that you should have a Dual sim phone. I've got the G3 dual sim, so it's working well so far
In order to cover all areas you need to buy 2 products (Chatsim & Chatsim Plus).
Was mislead by Whatsim pre-order statements on 1 Sim card for all areas..

I just got my ChatSIM 4 days I checked the Summary Credits section under ChatSIM web site.
It's saying I exceeding 60% of data traffic in same zone. What does that mean?

Just got my ChatSim Plus today. Immediately threw it into an unlocked iPhone 5. The SMS feature won't send, but I can receive. Grabbed WhatsApp, FB Messenger, KIK, Twitter, and Google Hangouts from the App Store just to give them all a shot. WhatsApp and Hangouts seem to work the best.
I did notice that after few minutes the network would drop. I seemed to have to throw the device into airplane mode and back out to get back to normal operations.
YouTube review
Found this review, seems to have pros and cons to it. More cons if you aren't careful with it (you must disable background app data) as you can easily burn through the data cap with Twitter.
Terrible service, chatsim a scam
I purchased my Chatsim Plus in March this year and till June I have yet to receive the card. I emailed the staff and on many occasions they said they would reply within 48 hours but they don't -- which was fine by me. But the thing is, they always avoided giving me a straight answer and kept telling me to wait... I mean, how long does it take for a card to be sent out? Early July I couldn't wait any further because it was simply taking too long. By then I have sent out countless of emails which no one ever replies and when they eventually did they told me that the card was sent back to them as I did not provide my full address. I checked against the soft copy receipt and told them that the address was correct yet they found ways to blame me (literally!) for the failed delivery. At that point I was exasperated and just wanted my money back. Initially I paid €20 for the card and delivery however 2 months later when I checked my bank statement only €10 was refunded. When I asked the staff why I wasn't given a full refund ONCE AGAIN they told me it was their law and that the mailing company operates independently and the fees goes to the mailing company yada and I quote their response "You haven't provided us with the complete address either, because the mailing services weren't able to find your address"... I mean what is this utter nonsense? I cannot emphasis how indignant I am about this because I gave the address as stated in my PASSPORT and how on earth is that INCOMPLETE? I can only say please use Chatsim at your own risk, because after reading some of the reviews online I found out that I am not the only victim that has fallen to their antics! The staff is rude, incompetent and unprofessional! Nasty experience!
No you're not the only one... it happened to me too!!!:crying:
Very disappointing product. I think it is a scam.
The Chatsim works only intermittently. Response for help is super slow. By the time they reply, I was back to home.
In one month usage, got 2 emails saying I am using too much. And suddenly one day, the card was stopped and ask me to pay again.
Don't waste your money.
Hi, I bought chatsim couple of weeks ago and is successfully activated. Today I was in overseas and wanted to use it, but I couldn't do it.
I was looking on the internet and found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zG8KKaH9B8 in the minute 6:06 they talk about add another user (WITH YOUR CHATSIM PHONE NUMBER) in order to use chatsim. Here is my question:
I have a dualsim phone (Letv X800) and have on mu dutch number whatsapp running. In order to use chatsim (phone number +44number) I need to create/activate it within whatsapp, right? Do you have any idea how to do it without using the method mentioned on the video?
Thanx
For me, chatsim seems like a scam. For one, most of the time it hasn't work... I would receive mms randomly when the network decided to get picked up. Sure enough, I received a sms not too long after telling me that I have exceeded usage. And I was blocked. When I confronted customer service, they said I probably didn't turn off background updates... Which is untrue since I was running in low battery mode at all times (which stops all background activities in an iPhone). Long story short, my travelling hasn't been affected with or without chat sim. Not gonna fool me twice in putting more money into it.
I just started with Chatsim Unlimited on a Nexus 5X. I think I have it setup correctly and I've successfully tested the service using Facebook Messenger. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work with Google Hangouts though - very disappointing considering that is the primary messaging app that I use.
Another aspect of the service that I'm very disappointed with is the English language verbiage. It's very confusing as if all of the instructional text came out of a translator app.
I just got my chatsim (unlimited) and have followed all instructions found in the website. My problem is that I can see the carrier operator ("Smart" for Philippines) as well as the "3g" indicating my Cellular data but I still cannot connect to any of the messaging applications offered by chatsim. Anyone having this problem or anyone know how to resolve this problem? I have been contacting chatsim but no response was made by them. Any help would be gladly appreciated. Thank you!

Anyone facing this problem? My google pay is inconsistent when on public transport and in retail stores.
Could it be software issue?

Also having problem with my NFC with public transport.
Never work for public transport before, but ok with retail payment
my is Oxygen OS 10.5.10.IN11AA, no root.
not sure if this is the Google Play Cert
Version 20.6.19-all [0] [PR] 316598174
OOS 10.5.10.IN11AA
Google Play Services Version 20.21.17
Google Pay Version 2.111.306
I tried toggling on the '' non standard NFC tag support '' in developers option. Doesnt work as well.
Many op8p users also faced the same problem in my country.
Tried re-adding my cards several times, cleared cache of google pay,google play services,google framework.
Downgrading app versions.
On public transport, my phone just vibrates and will prompt " does not work " or " move closer ". Never worked, receiver receive nothing.
In retail payment, it worked about 90% of the time with 10% requiring to tap twice.
I have similar issue.
- I use polish banking application that uses NFC for contactless payment.
- In retail payment, 90% of the time is successful, 10% requires to tap again.
- In vending machine almost every payment is rejected (I got 1 successful payment but I can't reproduce it again). I used same banking application on my xiaomi mi8 with same vending machine and worked good.
- I tried google pay and it doesn't work too (at least it shows some error on screen)
- no root, oxygenos 10.5.9.IN11BA
In conclusion it's not a problem with google pay but with nfc as other payment apps have same problem.
IIRC on the teardown video, the NFC chip is in behind the camera. It's maybe in too deep inside the phone for it to work correctly everytime.

Came looking to see if I was the only one with an NFC issue
Mine has been working perfectly since I got the phone, then yesterday I went to use it at a POS in a shop and it wouldn't work......move closer/slower etc. so I used my bank card itself.
I got the train and said I had low balance when I got off so went to top up my leap card (Irish transport card) and it fails the second it tried to read the card.
FYI I have sucessfully topped up my leap card dozens of times on the phone.
Next I went to get something to eat. I tried using it at the restaurant POS and worked first time, no problem.
Then this morning I just tried using it in shop POS and everytime it pinged and gave me a tick mark and showed the card as if it completed OK but the shop unit did not register anything (I also know the transaction did not go through as revolut did not show the transaction). I used my bank card and it worked.
I have just tried my leap card again and it is still not working.
This is very frustrating as I use NFC payment everywhere.
Anyone know if I can see logs for the NFC chip?
Why did it suddenly just stop working, I haven't had any updates.

Not had this problem before, could your case be the cause? Or anything else in your hand?
The range has impressed me with mine.
Currently rooted and using xXx and Gpay is still good.
It looks the oneplus 8 pro nfc chip is very weak. For me the strongest signal is under oneplus logo on the back. I found out the nfc chip is under the keypad at vending machine (not under display). Now to make it work I must keep my phone very closely to the terminal.
I need to get close on a number of NFC readers...no biggie.
