http://androidforums.com – Help! Too much information out there - hard to sift thru it. I have an unlocked T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S phone. I currently have an unlimited data plan with T-mobile here in the states. Going to Australia and would like to use my phone without charges. Can I use a local prepaid SIM card for local calling only (no data plan) and use WiFi as I find it to do my Internet stuff? This is my first experience with a smart phone. In the past I always bought local SIM cards from the country I was traveling in for my basic Razr phone and had no problems but all of the settings on this phone are making (General)

I want to have an SamSung Galaxy S3 unlocked phone. So that I can use it for an unlimited data plan. I'm thinking either Straight Talk or Virgins Mobile USA Unlimited for 35.00 a month.

I live in Everett WA.

My only question is based on those companies and the plan I want, and where I live and the phone I want, which phone is best for me?

I have an old GSM phone with a T-Mobile prepaid sim card. I keep it on the daily plan which comes with unlimited voice/text and data.

When I put that GSM sim card inside my Verizon Wireless Samsung Galaxy Note 2, voice and text work just fine.

However, I can't get any data at all. In addition, the phone also keeps giving me a warning message that it's a non-Verizon sim card.

Just got my Nexus 4 and took it up to T-Mobile to try and sign up for the $30 prepaid plan, the one with 100 voice minutes and unlimited text and data. Seems like that is just damned near impossible!

First T-Mobile sent me to Walmart. Walmart told me this was only available if you bought one of their phones.

I am currently on the $15 a month unlimited texting prepaid plan from TMO w/o data service. I have a semi smartphone (Nokia Nuron 5230) that doesn't have wifi which is all I want. I have wifi everywhere I go, so I do not really need a data plan.

Hey, I was recently using my phone that i got a couple days ago ( Bought it unlocked at my local Electronics store ) and i popped in my T-mobile sim card and after 1 day I looked at my status bar, I had H+ on the top right corner. I tested it out on my browser ( I was at a park while this happened ) and the data worked fast like on a T-mobile 4g phone.

Hello everyone. Lots of great informative info here. I am with AT@T and have an older Nokia non smart phone with a $10.00 per month unlimited data plan which I roughly use around 350mb per month. I was considering getting a G I5500 unlocked phone and need to know if they will detect it and do you think they will alter my data plan? thanks in advance

Filed under: Windows Mobile, Microsoft, Mobile As of this morning, Americans, you can now buy a Windows Phone 7 device online from the Microsoft Store, Dell or Amazon, as long as you're happy with either an AT&T or T-Mobile service plan.

The lowest price seems to be $99 for the HTC Surround on Amazon, with an AT&T service plan -- but it looks like it's already on backorder.

Hi folks, I just bought a HTC Desire VC less than a month ago, but I'm having so much problems, I'm on the verge of giving up on it now :-(

Though this is not my 1st Android phone, but I'm still rather new to Android phones. I bought my previous 1 only 3 months ago, when I was having a break & some time to play with Smart phones.
