[cmstlist]

Im from canada and im comming to USA in august. I've use this plan on my Unlocked HTC Hero(originaly with Telus Canada) on my buisness trip on march but i want to know ir any other person have notice the there internet stopped working on this plan. I dont want to buy a 50$ card for nothing.

Thanks

If you're unsure and don't want to risk it, you could get a Straight Talk SIM instead.

Here is something I wasn't expecting. Samsung's Galaxy S Glide (the Canadian version of the Captivate Glide) works on the $50 plan without a data package. Well, I do have a data package but it isn't deducting usage, yet data does work like on the Xperia Pro.

Could you have it shipped to your hotel / place you are staying?

I seem to lose Galaxy Nexus data access without a data pack today and tested with 3 different G Nexus, 1 from Google Play and 2 from 1saleaday. Anyone noticed at all?

It would be an account issue not a device issue, but I also lost data access on the Nexus sometime overnight Friday/Saturday. I plugged in the APN settings from the previous page, and that causes a message to come up about buying a data pack.

I'm surprised because I didn't use a lot of data, so I thought my phone would stay under the radar. Ah well, that just means I'm switching away from AT&T sooner...

I tried it on 3 different accounts and 3 different G Nexus. I guess time to switch back to Straight Talk....

Would an unlocked docomo android phone work on the data as it is't an at&t brand phone?

also, why are they so greedy and provide unlimited internet only for feature phones??

[cmstlist]

One could say the customers are greedy for trying to get full smartphone data on a feature phone plan.

But then again there are other options for better value.

You would have to try to be 100% sure, but I'm using a SB 007SH with a HyperSIM and it works.

I was about to ask about this, I just did some experimenting and it appears that when you add a data package it only deducts for devices that require a data plan and doesn't deduct for devices that don't: guessing it's doing something related to IMEI? This is kind of nice as you don't "waste" your data when using a feature phone for instance.

I traded my Meizu MX for an Intel Xolo X900. I doubt AT&T will have it in their system

Did you ever run your Meizu MX on the $50 plan? I have one so I am just curious.
