At&t no data smartphone list

Hi,

Will you please send me the updated list of Android phones that At&t hasn't flagged as smartphones? I intend to use only WiFi for data, etc.

Thanks in advance,

James

Note 2. I said, "a really good phone". BTW, I have smartphone unlimited data on this line, so it wasn't an issue to begin with. What intrigued me was that they asked who was the manufacturer and if I knew the model. As if they are trying to select those from drop downs and build a db from user input.
[Android General] fastwanabe:
UUUh NO!, could this att rep be any more obvious? If your intention is WiFi then why would the list be relevant?

Re: [GUIDE][03-05-2013] List of phones in/compatible with ATT Family/MediaNet Plan

Can somebody send me the updated list.. Looking to upgrade from my HTC Desire.
[Android General] vmartinez39:
Last summer I activated the GoPhone SIM and used it on all my devices I had at the time:

G2X

Amaze

GS2

Data refused to work on any of these devices. Not even MMS. My interest in AT&T was mainly for coverage.

Data did work on two of my other smartphones, but considering the OS and limited Edge speed, I wouldn't consider them daily drivers. The weren't Android phones, data worked but whatever.

And after reading this thread and Paranoia just messed up, I mean totally messed up. I have a Nexus 4 on Tmobile. Coverage is terrible inside buildings. I mean terrible. And I get teased by my brother who's on Verizon and tells me to come to big red.

Regardless this is hopeless. I used Straight Talk 2 years ago and it wouldn't be so bad except AT&T killed that option now too. Its note even worth it, people will get capped and lose data just to move them out of the AT&T SIMs.

Why is AT&T so dam greedy and smug about it's services. I love T-Mobile but their spectrum and coverage just isn't there. And even so, a GoPhone that works with the $50 is just a witch hunt that will end regardless of how protected they are.

I have 2 smart phones that work on GoPhone, but they aren't Android. If only they were Android....
[Android General] PassingThruLife:
Droid 3 on MediaNet plan has been good so far,im up to about 1.5gb of data usage this month so far and no messages.

Im curious about trying to tether,something tells me not to but ive read people doing it with no problem...

Half my data usage is me checking Speednet lol,im getting about 3.5-5.5 down and 1-1.5gb up.Not bad at all,even Livestream works smooth when i streal live video.

There are several good smartphone that work with MEdia Net(full HSPA data).

Re: [GUIDE][03-05-2013] List of phones in/compatible with ATT Family/MediaNet Plan

I've always tethered, & have had no problems. Except for the large chunks of data used during a tethering session, I don't believe A*hole can tell the difference if you're not using one of those access points known to have been detectable for tethering when using that fruit company's eyeball phone.

A true test to see if you're successfully using medianet with an unbranded device is to use it through the change of a bill cycle without getting the dreaded message.

It is my understanding that all smartphones require a data plan. If you find a smartphone that works on MEdia Net then you also found a smartphone that won't require a data plan.

Re: [GUIDE][03-05-2013] List of phones in/compatible with ATT Family/MediaNet Plan

On the topic of days usage, I used 4GB in 5 days without a problem. I used a total of 5.5GB that month.
[Android General] Alucard400:
Damn, That's a lot. The most I've ever gone is just over 3GB in a summer. I average around just over 2GB monthly. I guess you don't really raise any flags going over, but that may still be a case by case basis. It doesn't go along the lines with a friend of mine using a phone to tether with her data plan daily as her main internet line at home. AT&T threatened to increase her bill for using tether without paying for the service. I thought she put herself up on the high data usage from the top 5% of customers on the bellcurve.

I am currently enjoying my low monthly voice plan with medianet when I started using my old phone again. My HTC Amaze from T mobile was flagged and stopped using it. I miss the camera, but my old phone will do for now. I hardly use my phone anyways since I carry a 7 inch Nexus tablet with me all the time.
[Android General] kaijura:
Has anyone been trying any HSPA-capable tablets with the medianet plan?

I was thinking about grabbing a 7" tab like a GTab 7.7 or GTab 7.7+. There is some rare 7.7+ being sold, from DoCoMo Japan.

I'm guessing the Nexus 7 and t-mobile htc/samsung tablets are on the flag list, but I can't think of what else was out there.

Ideally, if they made a 7" tab with a native dock (like transformer series) I feel like that might be a perfect mobile phone. Big screen, bigger battery,
[Android General] bedwa:
I used a tab 7.7 last year with no issues. Trying to repair the SIM tray to use again. Nothing better than holding a 5in wide tab up to your head to make a call just to get others to look at you.... Lol.
[Android General] kaijura:
Re: [GUIDE][03-05-2013] List of phones in/compatible with ATT Family/MediaNet Plan

I noticed that seems to be a common problem with the 7.7's, the sim card slot stopped working or broken. Both verizon and GSM models. Can you shed some pointers what's causing it to do that?

I don't see much network info about the Verizon model but I assume it is not GSM-sim compatible?
[Android General] Pedruin:
Heya,

Looking for someone to PM me the list of compatible phones, thanks!

can someone pm me the list?

Got it, thanks guys.
[Android General] iDOhateme:
I've been coming to this thread for over a year. The info & knowledge shared here is priceless! With 3 teenagers needing constant connections to facebook, twitter, youtube, etc., my phone bill with AT&T (American Thieves & Thugs) was almost as much as my mortgage until I found this forum. Needless to say, it sucked to find "the list" had been taken down. I understand the reasoning behind this decision but I NEED THAT LIST! :mad: I'm willing to trade 1 slightly used teenager in good condition for the current list of phones. :fingers-crossed: Just kidding, no need to get child welfare services involved...but what do I need to do to get that list?
[Android General] INeedYourHelp:
I too am interested in viewing the list. If anyone could PM me it at their convenience, it would be greatly appreciated.

Also, does anyone know if AT&T also uses IMEI blocking for their tablet data plans? I thought about doing the $30 3GB tablet data plan and using a smartphone instead of a tablet (VOIP for the occasional phone conversations - I use very, very little minutes).
[Android General] lafester:
So if I try this out do I get on a postpaid plan or is a gophone prepaid plan good enough?
[Android General] chrism.brunner:

Hey yall, I got an HTC Legend two years back and have been frequenting this thread for the past year for when I decided to get a replacement. Well, looks like that time has come and I finally made an account.

I had a phone (don't wanna say out in the open) in mind when the list was still public but am not sure if it still works. Plus, a lot of new phones came out that I'd like to consider too if they'll work.

Thanks!
[Android General] phantomsniper773:
Hey guys, so I know AT&T carries the Blackberry Z10 so the likelihood of it actually working on the MediaNET plan is slim, but has anyone had any experience with the T-Mobile variant on AT&T? They do support different bands (the T-Mo one only has the 850MHz from what I can tell from their website) so my thinking was that maybe the IMEI pattern or something like that would be different between the two.
[Android General] Alucard400:
Different imei type or not, it's been already concluded here that t mobile shares imei database to AT&T. Most if not all t mobile phones are now flagged in AT&T
[Android General] Charleee:
I too would like to have the list, for my note 2 has been flagged thanks

iPhone without a data plan

Has anyone recently tried to use a smartphone without a data plan? I've been using an iPhone without a data plan for over a month and was wondering if they aren't forcing the data plans anymore.
[Android General] sucsss:
you have to wait till your billing cycle is over. or sometimes multiple billing cycles.
[Android General] phantomsniper773:
Hmm, Dunno about *all*. I've had the Motorola Defy recently and now have a Nokia Lumia 710 on AT&T with the unlimited data plan for non-smartphones and haven't been detected. Neither had my HTC Sensation 4G or Samsung Vibrant, but I sold those a while ago. Although based on some of the reports in this thread it does seem like AT&T is starting to catch more models. I guess the best option now is just to go with a European phone :(
[Android General] paypalbid:
To those whom have been flagged. Do you guys consume more than 3Gb of data per month ? I suspect they are patrolling user with unusual high datat usage on featured phone data plan.
[Android General] sumeet909:
Incorrect. They flagged htc radar 4g on my account that had 200mb use.
[Android General] Bladerunner1825us:
Ive been using a 7" tablet and got hit with a different message then everyone else. Instead of the "we will automatically upgrade your plan" I got a "did you know an eligible data plan is required for a tablet, laptop etc" but they didnt change my plan. In the past with this message switching between an iphone and android ive gotten a similar message and nothings happened after that so im gonna give it more time and see if they switch. Im about a week away from bill cycle change.
[Android General] lovem:
AT** swept the lines this morning & changed the lines using white international note 2. Looks like not just once a month on bill cycle dates anymore. This may be the final bye bye for me or adios to the note 2

Bell Mobility (Canada) Galaxy S2 i9100m Flagged

What happened

International Galaxy S2 with NeatROM worked fine for 12 days. Used native Android tether and was flagged the next day. Not sure if the tether triggered the flag or not. CSR correctly identified the phone as a Galaxy S2 based on the IMEI.

APN info: wap.cingular, no proxy, user WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM, pass CINGULAR1, MMSC mmsc.cingular.com, MMS proxy wireless.cingular.com, MCC 310, MNC 410, APN type default,supl,mms.

Tethered device was an iPad. Very little data use (maybe 10MB).

Ideas

Hopefully was flagged because of tethering. Nothing I can do about IMEI. Have read about hidden tethering APNs, but mostly related to T-Mobile.

ANY OTHER IDEAS?
[Android General] sucsss:
was start of a new billing cycle on the day you were flagged?

and from the first page most if not all the i9100 are flagged.
[Android General] lovem:
By changed the lines, I mean they put a smartphone data plan on each device which were on separate accounts with two totally different bill cycles. Specifically they put the $30 data plan on each device's line. One account got it reverted back to the data plan of choice-medianet, other line just left it as is for now.

For sure international samsungs are not safe. Your best bet will be on a Canadian phone. As time passes, it's probably going to be a very small set of phones you can choose from canada. And it may mostly be older phones.

[Android General] ErieTrack:
Are there any modern phones still working? I've used the N97 mini and N8 for years on the $10 plan.

About 8 months ago I decided to give the windows phones a try since there were less and less Symbian

apps. So I picked up an international lumia 900 rm-823. Worked great as a phone but popped an LTE

plan as soon as I turned on the mobile data. Strange cuz its not an LTE phone. But whatever. So I

picked up a lumia 800. Basically the same thing but a little smaller and no front camera. It was an

unlocked USA developer device from Microsoft. Some stuff worked, some didn't. Call tier 2 tech support

and they said it was because the imei wasn't logged into there system so I gave to them and everything

worked perfect! They told me that it WAS NOT a smartphone and qualified for the $10 unlimited plan.

Everything was fine until the lumia 820 came out last month. All of a sudden they start giving me crap

saying it's a smartphone. I get a text saying my data plan changed. So I go to the store and am like,

what the heck? You guys told me it was dumb 8 months ago and now all of a sudden it smart? So the

phone had a LTE plan on it for about three days and I noticed something weird. When I used data, it didn't

come off of my 3gig lte plan, it was still coming off of the medianet plan. Well anyway, to make a long story

short, I brought in my old 6650 fold and had the plan switched back and the sim back in my N8 after I got

home. I still love this phone but it's old and slow. I'm not really a fan of ios. Windows was ok but the

live tiles are annoying. I've never had an android phone but it looks like a good setup and I'd like to give

it a try. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
[Android General] Air Mike:
My htc sensation XL got flagged too. just got my bill today, and i notice they change my data plan 9 days after my last billing cycle without even sending me a message. At most i will use at&t for 2 more months and thats it, i am off to T-mo / straight talk.

not sure about my old i9000 still working or not, but i have more interest to leave AT&T asap
[Android General] ErieTrack:
That's not cool that they changed it and didn't tell you
[Android General] rayzamjr:
Well I checked and it seems that I can get the Verizon RAZR M for a lot cheaper than RAZR i despite better specs and then do the unlock to use it on AT&T. I think I read it somewhere here that someone predicted that all Verizon phones would soon get flagged. Not sure why, but I really appreciate if anyone could share his/her experience on RAZR M (or pm me if you feel more comfortable). If it matters, I have been using the same old SIM card for 3-4 years on AT&T and for the new phone I also plan to cut it to micro size and just put it in without calling AT&T or giving them my IMEI and will just manually set the APN to use the regular 3G (no interest or need for LTE)... Thanks!
[Android General] ErieTrack:
Both of those look like good phones! I was checking them out on Motorola's website.

The photon Q looks pretty sweet with the slide out keyboard. The thing I miss the

most about my n97 mini was that it had a real keyboard. Do these ones hold up well?
[Android General] sucsss:
Is the flagging on prepaid instant? Or monthly like postpaid?
[Android General] ErieTrack:
Mine's postpaid. I got a text saying:

AT&T Free Msg: Did you know

a data plan is required for your

Smartphone? We have added

an appropriate data plan.

Learn more at att.com/dataplans.

I got this two days after the start of my monthly billing cycle.
[Android General] chrism.brunner:
I have prepaid. It is always instant. Your phone may work one day. Then you put you sim in another phone for a few days. Put it back in that phone and no go. Some I buy just never work. You wont work half the day then get "flagged" and a text on prepaid.
[Android General] ErieTrack:
I've been looking at the specs and reviews of a few phones

Razr xt910

Razr M

Photon Q

Like I said before, I've never had an android phone before.

These ones look pretty good. I'm leaning towards the Razr

because the price isn't too bad. I found them unlocked from

hong kong for $280. Can someone let me know if this or

maybe the other two might work on medianet? I'd really

appreciate your help!! Thanks

The xt890 only has a single core Intel Atom clocked at 2GHz.

I should have know it was too good to be true. Someone had a used one for sale,

[Android General] rayzamjr:
I was having the same dilemma and decided to go for RAZR M (xt907) instead of I (xt890). Both M and I are very similar otherwise except for the M being CDMA and requiring unlock to be used on GSM carriers in the US, and M having a dual core S4 Krait processor (overall a bit better performance over the single core Atom although probably no real world difference). However, the GPU in M is significantly more powerful than I. Again, not a big deal for everyone. Last, given that I has an intel processor, there may be some app compatibility issues, while M uses a standard ARM processor and doesn't face this issue... But the real deciding factor for me was that you can get a new/openbox RAZR M on ebay for a lot cheaper lol!
[Android General] ErieTrack:
Yeah I've noticed there are a wide variety of processors used. I'm curious on how they all match up.

Can't you use RadioComm to unlock the xt907's radio for gsm use?
[Android General] rayzamjr:
I don't expect much noticeable difference between them, but it's my understanding that xt907 will have the edge (albeit small) over xt890 in most cases. Yes, I am planning to use the Radiocomm method described here to unlock it:
