Might've been answered, but give them the imei from a non-smartphone. If you put the sim back into the s2, it will probably get bumped back up to the Datapro plan in 3 weeks, according to forums.

I was wondering, is your wife's Galaxy s2 white or black?

My S3 just got flagged today.

I'm about to call at&t to the dumb phone trick again.

Btw a friend of mine willing to switch my s3 to One X international version s720e

and the one X is still undetected using unlimited.

Should I do that? or use the S3 again and might get sweep again?

Thanks.
[Android General] Elsydeon:
If your S3 got swept once, it'll get swept again sooner or later...that phone's over and done with for you if you want to keep the Medianet plan. It's pretty much over and done with for any phone once a single person reports that they got flagged as far as I'm concerned. Also I'd call in with an actual dumb phone and not any undetectable smart phone, because I believe on their screen, they can see what phone model you're using through the IMEI.

my grilfriend have been using her white i9100 since last december, and it's still working on the unlimited medianet plan.

The same go for my black i9100.

please let me know how it turn out with the note 2 on the medianet plan, i'm thinking about getting the international version if it still work on it. If not, i might just go and buy the lte version once it's released later this year.

You mean the sweep got you? Or, the phone is not compatible with AT&T HSPA+??

Wow, I was hoping those droids would be safe because AT&T doesn't carry anything remotely similar to them and they are not available for sale in US. This is a 2nd shocker in this thread.
[Android General] chrism.brunner:
Well, I am using the unlimited go phone plan. I am not sure there is a sweep, like with post paid plans. So if the phone works, it works. When I put my sim in my Att Atrix, it will not connect to data. It says that I need a data plan. I can text, make calls, send MMS. No data. Same with the droid 2, which is a bummer. My n-7000, i-9100m, and desire HD, are all still working.

Is anyone still have a droid 2 that works?
[Android General] sumeet909:
Gotcha. Perhaps you just needed to add APN for RAZR Global GSM? Or, did it say you needed a data plan?

It said I needed a data plan. But I will try again.

[Android General] blognc:
I have the $15/month Data Unlimited for Non-Smartphones package, and have had it for 4+years. It lasted through:

2008 - AT&T Tilt - took over another user's contract, added the package myself while SIM was in a non-smartphone

Late 2008 - AT&T Fuze (Touch Pro) - received by running 3 warranty replacements and getting a different phone

2009 - Second AT&T Fuze - replaced through Asurion phone insurance

2010 - AT&T Tilt 2 - received by running 3 warranty replacements and getting a different phone

2012 - Samsung Galaxy Note i717 (AT&T branded) - contract upgrade through AT&T, done through customer service after issues with an Asurion insurance replacement

All through those phones, none of which were non-AT&T IMEIs, I kept my $15 unlimited plan. On the last one, I did even though I got a contract upgrade. I receive a text message every two weeks, since receiving the Note, that I have been "upgraded" to the proper data plan, and it never actually happens. I do not have data exclusion. I do not receive AT&T voicemail, so I use Google Voice, otherwise, no bugs.

When I received the phone, I put in my old SIM, hoping it would save my $15 plan. It may be the reason I still have it. I have two AT&T LTE SIMs for my number - one came with the Note, the other I picked up in a corporate store. I would like to put an LTE SIM in my phone, see if I can get at least HSPA+ speeds (I currently get 1-3mbps), but I won't do it if it could cost me my plan. I'm willing to pay $30/month for unlimited faster data, but not for limited superfast data, but I have not been able to convince a phone or corporate store rep to put me on the now-defunct plan.

If I put the LTE SIM in my phone, what is likely to happen?
[Android General] jcash74:
They're going to give you the rip off plan if you use those sims. I'm surprised they haven't already you've been lucky!

I'm stuck on the 300 mb option right now because they caught my gnex. Hopefully once I get my n7000 I'll be back on medianet.

[Android General] Mr.Mischief:
Yeah, I was pretty excited about the Maxx. Paid close to $400 for it.

I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but I like completely stock firmware:o
[Android General] blognc:
I love CM10, but I'm starting to lean in that direction. Custom ROMs are necessary when manufacturers do a terrible job, such as slowing down or lowering battery life with a bad skin/framework, but most of the better manufacturers, you seem to get better battery life and unique features by sticking with stock and instead debloating and modifying your way to the best possible version of stock. I may stick with stock on the Note II.

How did they catch your Nexus? Was it related to the SIM?

I really want to switch to LTE, but it's not worth the possible loss of unlimited data, even crappy unlimited data.

I assume that if I get switched to limited data, even pulling off a switch back to Media Net won't stick since whatever's saving me from getting flagged right now isn't likely to survive the SIM switch, if the SIM is what screws me. I wish I knew someone else who tried the same thing.
[Android General] jcash74:
I am unsure how they caught the Nexus, I have been using the same sim for awhile now and it was working with my i9100 on medianet. I have heard that AT&T is doing sweeps and even though my Nexus had originally come up as unknown they were unable to apply the medianet option when I called them asking about the switch. I just checked on their website and now my GNex shows up as a i9250 smartphone. I am using a micro-sim but I doubt that would have caused the flagging.
[Android General] james11417:
Nexus phones have always been flagged. It's a wonder it has went unscathed for so long. What bothers me is that Samsung phones in general are getting flagged. My i9300 hasn't yet but we'll see in the future.

If you had to take a chance for Note 2 on Medianet, would you go for International Note 2, or T-Mobile version?
[Android General] Mr.Mischief:
I would get the T-Mobile version. The international S3 has already been flagged, so I'm betting the Note II is next. The T-Mobile S3 has yet to be flagged.

So what does it mean that Samsung Galaxy S3 users have been flagged? Like they've been caught? So is this a high chance? Even if the phone is an international version?

Nexus 4?

I know that the current Galaxy Nexus works on the $10 Medianet plan, but I'm wondering about the new Nexus 4 that was just released.

I really like the new features, and its a great deal for an unlocked phone of those specs, but not being able to use the $10 Medianet plan may be a deal breaker for me.

So what do you guys think? Is it worth the chance? I'm kinda leaning towards it will work, since its an international version hopefully.

[Android General] greygooser:
I have been on the $20 "MediaMax" (Medianet Unlimited + 200 texts) plan since pre-iphone days. I have not re-signed any contracts, but have bought nearly every generation of iPhone since it's release and just popped my SIM in and changed the APN. Currently on the iPhone 4S, thinking of upgrading to the 5, or making the switch to Android with the Nexus 4. I don't know if upgrading to the 5 will force the issue, seeing as it's a 4G phone. Considering buying the Verizon model, and just using my SIM in that to stay under the radar.

Anyway,it seems a lot of people get flagged, am I some sort of anomaly to still have this plan? For a few months when I owned the 3GS, I would get texts saying that I was on an ineligible plan, but they never forced me to change it.

Sorry for the long post, any input/advice is appreciated!

Anybody know if I can add the $10 medianet data plan for dumbphones?(I have the unlimited family text plan, that's why it's $10) Will I be ok?

well i just put in the micro SIM card yesterday. And so I've only been using my SG3 for 1 day... Does AT&T usually charge data right away when you put in the new microSIM card?

it depend, sometime it will be within hours, sometime it will be weeks before there is a change.

But since you have a tmobile S3, you should be fine using it.
[Android General] o1legacygt:
Has any one tried a global or rogers lumia 920 on this dataplan yet? I called ATT and wasted over 2.5 hours trying to upgrade, but because my account was set up as non smart phone data plan instead of a normal data plan they would not grandfather me.

So I am thinking about taking one for the team and trying to buy a Rogers, trim the sim card and see if ATT shuts me down? Im not a very deceptive person, but their customer service is the biggest joke I have ever seen. They wouldnt offer me any solutions instead the resolution team told me they would try to buy another unlocked phone and continue using the same plan. She told me clearly I have been good at staying under the radar.

I was just so amazed.

Anyways, if someone has used a Rogers or Unlocked Lumia 920 with this plan, please let me know.
[Android General] vinvam:
T-Mobile S3 is fine on Medianet. Been on it for 2 months myself.
[Android General] Daedalus_:
How does AT&T following the terms of the service they agreed with you mean their customer service is bad? Do you know how childish that sounds? Their terms clearly state that you cannot use a smartphone OS (Android, iOS, BlackBerry, Symbian, Windows Phone) on medianet, and you're trying to force them to sell you something they never advertised selling. :eek: If you had to return a T.V. you stole, would you say that the government's customer support is bad because you didn't get what you want?
[Android General] sk337sk337:
Yup it is
[Android General] sumeet909:
Not sure this clause in that agreement is enforceable. What do you have to say about devices that get flagged incorrectly because first few imei digits match with some other series of phones? ATT hasn't offered any specific guidance to those consumers. On certain Android devices they kept pushing Blackberry plans that wouldn't work and couldn't rectify the situation for many months. If you claim loss of use, they argue unsupported device. They don't support services for unbranded devices, but they do tinker with them when the revenue vs. data consumption equation doesn't gel.
[Android General] Daedalus_:
I'm talking to someone about upgrading to a smartphone (lumia 920) on AT&T while wanting to keep a medianet plan. Obviously, they will not let him get it.

[Android General] joshyth:
I doubt it. I don't think most people even when they know this loophole will bother to go through so much trouble in getting medianet plan, thus it's really just a small number of us that will take the time to take advantage of this loophole. Until there is a large number of people taking advantage of this, I don't think AT&T will bother ( except to update their device database on the one they can get from the manufacturer). Of course the downside to this, you won't get to use the "super fast " lte.
[Android General] sumeet909:
Do you tether a windows pc or just your iPad? Also, what APN do you use...wrap.cingular or Phone? Ever received any tethering letters from AT&T?
