Guide: Unlock T-Mobile G1 and Bypass Activation + AT&T EDGE Settings

hi im not sure where you found those but it looks like a cut and paste of some setting i posted elswhere well here is an updated one also has incoming mms working with these settings

name: AT&T
apn:wap.cingular
proxy blank
port blank
username:wap.cingulargprs.com
password:CINGULAR1 must be in caps
server blank
mmsc:mmsc.cingular.com
mms proxy: wireless.cingular.com
mms port:80
mcc:310
mnc:41
apn type blank

also mnc seems to depend whether your on the east or west coast

Cool, could you keep me posted on when you do find an easy way to unlock it? Also, there is no way just to buy the phone and “run off” with it from the store (although it is still locked)? As I re-read your post, I am assuming so. But I hope someone quickly comes with an easier way to unlock it and not just bypass activation because I WANT ONE OF THESE REALLY BAD!!!

PAPA G ,
You got 2 options.

Option 1 -
In reply to your comment below, the only way to currently lock it is to request for the unlock code. HTC provides it and T-Mobile is the only person who can currently request it. In your situation, the only way would be to have a friend that currently is subscribed to T-Mobile help you out. You would need to let him borrow the phone, stick the SIM card in your phone, have him call T-Mobile and request an unlock code. Once the unlock code comes, you should be good to go.

Option 2 –
Buy one on ebay for extra money (don’t recommend).

Hope that helps!

Hey, very very interesting read! How about this : Can we use ATT’s 3G on this device at all? Since you managed EDGE, may I ask you if you live in an ATT 3G rich area?

Unfortunately, the 3G frequency on the G1 is not compatible with AT&T’s 3G. Thus, your only option would be using AT&T’s EDGE service. The work-around solution for this would be some genius creating a web application that will mock/change the 3G band on the G1 to be compatible with AT&T’s.

I just bought a G1 online I cant even get on the phone there is some kind of password needed, when i bought it the person had there sim in it and they showed me it worked than they took it out and i bought the phone when i put my sim in it the screen lockd up and a pass word is required?? What the hell the person who sold it to me wont answer any of my calls?? HELP ME

christy –
i need some more details from you in order to figure out the problem.
1. did you purchase a phone by itself or with a contract?
2. what is the exact error message? on startup-up, the only 2 prompts the phone can be asking you is for a gmail password or the unlock code.
-if it’s asking for an unlock, this means your phone is LOCKED and can only be used with TMOBILE SIM card.

namshik- I tried both 41 and 410 for the mnc but still have no luck. May you help? Thank you very much for your knowledge!

eddie –
i’ll look into this. not sure why it’s not working for you. it’s working me as well as others on the net. might be because of your location.

Namshik- Thank you for your help and I live in Los Angeles. Thank you again!

Should I delete all the T-Mobile APNs?

I got mine work with only setting the values for the Name and the APN but leave everything else default.

Eddie –
AWESOME!

just got this unlocked G1 a few hours ago. how do you adjust the EDGE settings? i am still struggling with the menus

oh yeah, figured it out

it shows me my wrong gps location. do you have the same problem?

noemaun -
have you made sure that the GPS Receiver is enabled in the Connectivity menus ? the phone doesnt come with it turned on out of the box. just like Wifi and bluetooth have to be enabled. make sure the GPS is set to ON, Make sure your in a 3G/EDGE area and try to locate your position, it should work fine then !

410 is west coast, and it pop in, thanks !! nice work

Hey! Too bad 3G is useless but I keep hearing Gmail and Appstore are not accessible if you unlock it, is it true? Is it that T-Mobile’s unlock code works fine (gmail,appstore) but other $23 unlock solutions won’t work?

Thank you!

Hey if i purchased the g1 just the phone and i put on a prepaid sim card can i use the internet,youtube,maps,and etc with edge or just wifi..
If i put on a prepaid tmobile will the 3g work.?

I bought a G1 and I am from Saudi Arabia. The phone is unlocked. However for some reason it cannot get on the 3G (or Edge) network and cannot log into Google. Is there a way to skip the Google authentication and actually get on the phone itself? If not is there at least a way to enable Wireless and connect to Google from there?

rami-
it could be that the 3g network in your area is not compatible with the 3g phone and thus, not able to setup the gmail account. your best luck is to travel to a location that does have a network compatible with the g1 3g band (i.e. london) and setting it up.
or… mailing it to a friend that lives in a location that does.

sorry to hear about that.

if i unlocked my g1 can it work in prepaid sim card.
Can i use the gprs and internet in a prepaid sim card.

@namshik It worked by getting another carrier SIM card over here in Saudi Arabia…its up and running like charm now!

Ok, ik you all are like unlocking any cracking the phone and I’m so jealous! I am WITH t-mobile and I got my g1 on the 21st and it still doesn’t work and t-mobile can’t figure it out. My problem is I can’t get past the first step of logging onto my gmail acct. I get the “there is a problem connecting to the google servers” EVERYTIME!

if anyone has any ideas i’m willing to try anything

ashley-
this might be a stupid question but do you have the g1 data plan on your line? if not, you need it to register your phone with the gmail account and bypass the start-up. after that, you don’t need to sign in .

@namshik.Hello can i bypass the activation with the prepaid sim card and i got the unlocked code.Hello if i unlocked the g1 can i use a prepaid sim card.

i do have the data plan. i also got a new SIM card to see if that was the problem…still no success. thanks tho

Hey ashley, im having the same problem=(.

If i put an prepaid sim card can i pass the gmail account thing?
Also can prepaid work for the g1?
Can i use the internet on edge with prepaid?

ashley-
could be your phone is faulty. if you visit your local tmobile store, they should be able to help you or give you a replacement.

others-
using a prepaid is possible only if you have the $20+ data plan on the card. the reason why the normal edge or tzones will not work is because you can only get edge to work if you modify the settings in the phone. however, you cannot access these settings until you bypass the front screen.

thus, your solution would be to use your friend’s sim car that does have the g1 data plan in order to bypass the front screen, reconfigure the settings to use edge (see post), then popping your prepaid sim card in,.

Im wondering can you unlock the phone out the box with the unlock code, with another carrier such as att? Do you have to put a tmobile sim in it first then put the other carriers sim in it with the unlock code?

antawn-
you should be able to. you don’t need to be connected to the internet to unlock the phone. the code is programmed into the phone – it does not connect to the internet to verify the code is correct. however, it will not work unless your sim card has a data plan so that it can setup your gmail account before for 1st time setup before letting you access the home screen.

Thanks, for the response namshik……Im wondering though if you have a data plan with att, you would have to set the internet/mms settings first for att then go and set up or log in to your gmail account……

this may help but if you RESTORE the phone, this does not reset the phone to lock itself again. it will remain unlocked. i tested this.

so basically, the steps would be to:
1. stick in att w/ data and try to setup, if fails move to step 2
2. stick in friends tmobile w/ data to setup
3. once in, reconfig settings so at&t edge works
4. pop in at&t sim card with new settings and you should be good to go.

If i put an prepaid sim card can it just work like an prepaid service no data plan.Will it work.

hey so does it let you set up the gmail with a data plan on att?

Jared – it will work but only after you setup your phone for the first time with sim card that does have the data plan. After that, if you’re using a sim card w/ voice only, you’ll only be able to use voice + wifi

if i use my friend tmobile with data plan just to activate are they charges and how much???

Hello i got my g1 and i just got the phone no contract or sign up for any plan so i borrowed my friend sim card just with plan no g1 plan it doesn’t ask about the unlock code and also i’m stuck in the google sign in..

jared-
you’re stuck at the google sign in because you need a sim card with a data plan. otherwise, they would be no way for your phone to authenticate the google account…

namshik: I may be repeating myself if so I apolgize..I got a G1 phone today waiting on the unlock code. I am with att, with a data plan on my sim….Do I need to get someone Tmobile sim insert it and activate it or can i use my att sim once I unlock it and then activate it?

antawn –
you’re fine. you don’t need to borrow a tmobile sim w/ data card to startup

So, how will i be able to get to the apn settings in order to set att settings,so that i can access gmail? Im told you must log in to gmail before you can do anything,and since the settings are set for tmobile i wont be able to do that…

If i put a prepaid sim card.
Why does the internet,youtube,and etc with wifi.

Hi Namshik,

Is it required to have a T-Mobile SIM card “with” G1 data plan to activate the G1 phone? What if I don’t know anybody with the G1 data plan, but a friend with just a T-Mobile SIM card with Sidekick internet or something like that?? I heard on a forum I can just get a T-Mobile SIM card (or T-Mobile Prepaid SIM) and change the settings by using wi-fi to activate that google sign in. Is this possible? I’m a bit nervous as I just ordered the G1 last night on ebay…

Thanks for your help.
Ken

ken-
how are you going to change the wifi settings if you can’t even bypass the google sign in? thus, you need a sim card with data. probably half your friends have this type of plan so it won’t be a problem. after the initial google sign-in/setup, you don’t need a sim card with data to use the phone, but only to access the net related apps

Well, got my g1 up and running on att network…I am able to send sms/mms,access the adroid market….I am how ever is not able to access any of the IM clients…Im wondering do you have any insight on this, also can plaringo work on the g1?

I just bought my G1 online with a new family plan; what do I do to get everything on the g1 to work? I’m also confused on what to do to unlock the phone.

Hi I am from Germany and bought a LOCKED G1, right from the box. I put in my prepaid discounter sim, wich is not from tmo but works in the network from tmo. It worked without unlocking. 3G in Germany works perfect. Amazon, Internet, Market, everything. Just MMS doesn’t work. Seems I haven’t found the right settings yet.

Now I am asking myself if I should accept the OTA update. In several blogs you can read that you loose some features if you accept the ota. Any experiences?

sputnik-
from what i’ve read, OTA update does not reset your locked mode so i should not effect you. i’m guesing you’re using tmobile germany? maybe that’s why it didn’t ask for an unlock code. how much do the G1s sell for over there?

If i got the g1 unlocked can i come back to the tmobile again with prepaid service.Also if i get that cingular prepaid service and this 9.99 internet service can the phone work suh as youtube,market,and etc??

hi namshick
im buyin the g1 tomorrow and im on att, im in school in dc but im purchasing my phone in chicago..(brother is buying it) how should i go about unlocking the phone. i know u need the code and settings, but im not understanding the process of how to unlcok the phone, do i need a g1 data service plan or just a person on with a tmobile plan? and how would i find the correct settings for my phone to work with all the accessible features…Im getting it for a bday present can u please help!!!!!
greatly appreciated..

q jones-
just need someone with tmobile account to call in. they will ask for their phone number, IMEI number, and type of phone. code comes about a week after the request.

as for at&t settings, all the information you need is on the post.

If i get the att prepaid service with the 9.99 internet can it work in 3g and also can the youtube,market,internet,etc. work anywhere in edge?Can i use it on 3g..

Hi i would like to know from everyone’s experience after your phone is unlocked using the code. Will it go back to locked mode if it is reset or somehow re-flash. And secondly does the unlocked mode allow you to use the phone and all Google software/application that comes with it as it was used in locked mode?

Need fast answer for this.

I renewed my Tmobile contract before they released the G1. I currently have the old dataplan for my unlocked Tilt and I don’t want to upgrade to the G1 plan because its more expensive. I read many forums saying that you have to have the G1 plan in order to sign into gmail. I tried playing with the APN settings and using the old internet2.voicstream.com setting (non G1 data plan) and still doesn’t connect. Should I get an unlock code for my the G1 (been with T-Mobile for 6 consecutive years) and find a friend with AT&T and use the AT&T APN settings there to get by the signin screen?

rookie –
hard reset via settings will not lock the device again. upgrading firmware will not lock the device again. thus, i think flashing will also NOT lock the device.

jared-
att 3g doesnt work on the g1, only edge. all functions work after changing settings.

kswoosh-
screen you are getting is not a locked prompt, it’s saying you cannot connect to google servers. just pay +5 more and get the g1 data plan. they’ll catch u sooner or later.

I got me a G1 yesterday. but I’m not able to activate it with my prepaid card… Isn’t this possible at all? It seems like I don’t get data connection with my prepaid card…
If somebody nows how I could activate it, I would be pleased to hear it.
Problem is, I don’t know anyone with a T-mobile contract…

going to have to make some new friends..
facebook.com

lol, it’s just a coincidence… most of them have att… i don’t know anyone with an t-mobile sim which would work, i already tried some.

but thanx for the useful comment…

… Dont you have enough friend already ? :-

namshik- you asked some questions on Nov 13:
1. I am on callmobile. It’s not T-mobile. In Germany we have some resellers who are connected to one of four big networks. If you put in the sim it shows callmobile but it’s in the net of T-Mobile anyway. 3G is always provided in Germany, You need no special data plan, you pay per volume, per minute (sucks if you are always on) or get a special flat rate data plan.

2. OTA update didn’t harm anything (except the fact, that there is no root anymore, which I haven’t used yet)

3. I bought the phone on ebay (us) and paid 400 USD plus 30 USD shipping plus 19% tax.

P.s.: sent you a mail with lots of imeis and unlocking codes. Maybe that helps to get a free unlocking code-calculator

Hey, I have a prepaid account, and I REALLY want the G1. I’ve been frantically trying to figure out a way for the G1 to work on my phone. Problem is 1)I can’t afford the data plan, i have to stick with my prepaid service, 2)I still need to figure out how to get the G1 from T-Mobile without a contract(everywhere else is really costly or non-warranty), and 3)Once I get the actual handset, what do i do to get it to work on my prepaid account. All the Customer Service agents have been giving me bad news saying it’s not possible, but i’ve been continually reading posts on the internet saying that people have got it to work. I’m just worried that if I get the phone and it doesn’t work, I’m busted. Luckily, I found this site. PLEASE Help Me. There has to be a way! Thanks!

oran-
1. use your friends tmobile sim card w/ data plan for 1 minute to setup your phone (1 time)
2. you won’t be able to find a g1 phone for less than $400 (includes warranty).
3. you can buy one off me =) david@namshik.com. i’d be more than happy to make sure your g1 is working. i can even setup the phone with a temporary gmail account so when you get it, you won’t need a data plan and your prepaid will work.

Hi,

Maybe you can help me. I purchased an unlocked G1 on ebay from someone else who was using it on AT&T network. I too am using it on an AT&T network. Everything seems to be working fine except i can’t log on to the Android Market because there is a gmail account that already exist on the phone from the previous owner. Is there a way to delete that account and enter my own account?

Scott-
Yes there is. Reset your phone via phone settings. This will not lock your unlocked phone. When prompted, use your gmail.

Hi again,

i don’t see anything in setting about restting the phone. please explain if possible. your help is greatly appreciated. thanx

scott-
settings > sd card & phone settings > factory data reset.

if you need additional new, unlocked g1, i have one for sale.

Hi once again,

Well i tried that and yes it does ask for a new gmail account info to login. But the problem is that it only tries to cennect to a T-Mobile network even when i have my AT&T sim card installed. So it looks like i’m screwed now because i don’t know anyone around this area with a tmobile sim card to use.

hi I have g1 and my sim has data plan but its not connecting so is there any way I can switch my wifi on I am in India

i have the g1. i called and activated my phone but my phone will not allow me to register my gmail account. when i try it says it cannot connect to google servers. please tell me what to do, i’m desprate.

kt/shy-
you’ll need a sim card w/ a compatible data plan for initial setup. thereafter, you can use edge settings.

namshik-
1) If your t-mobile plan doesnt have internet and you use your friends card to set the G1 up, can you use it normally on a wi-fi connection?

2) (If you can do number 1) if you get outta range can you still use it normally just without internet? just use it as a normal phone with text and call?

I have the same problem as Ashley did, I got my g-1 phone on the 28th and I also got the data plan and new sim card. I can’t get pass the first step and I also tried to use a friends t-mobile sim…..still the same problem. Any help will be great!

BF93-
1. yes
2. not sure what you mean by out of range. if you have reception, you can make calls and text message. text message doesn’t require wifi or a data plan

Davy-
I would need more details. If you have a TMobile SIM w/ G1 data plan, you should have zero problems. If you do, stick your sim in another tmobile phone and see if the data works. If not, then it must be a problem on TMOBILE side. Then you’d have to call them and get it fixed.

alright, got my phone to get pass the activation screen, apparently my data plan is frozen for 2 weeks (bummer). Thanks for the help though

Namshik,
I need to unlock my G1 phone, I bought from http://www.t-mobile.com with an internet plan,
1- Can you direct me how to do so.
2- Also after it’s unlocked will it work overseas?
3- Do you sugest to set up the Gmail acount before unlocking it or after?

ahmad-
1)
1. call tmobile. tell them you’re going overseas and you want to use a prepaid sim card with your phone.
2. unlock code comes via email in 1 week.
3. insert non tmobile sim card. insert code when prompted.

2) yes
3) before

I bought a used g1 and tried a friend’s g1 sim card, and my used g1 won’t activate. I’m really surprised. Any ideas on what to try (no matter what gmail account or use, or ask it to create a new one, it just goes to the error and “try again” message.)

bob – does your friends g1 sim card have the g1 data plan? if not, it won’t connect.

@sputnik Please can you send me a unlock code to my mail
I bought USA T-Mobile G1. I want to unlock this phone. my g-m-a-i-l id is ananthforu.

I tried with 2 T Mobile SIM cards with data plans and it did not activate the phone – says the SIM cards are not having data plans…I am wondering if I bought a brick.

Hi Namshik- I am using G1 with AT&T. Tell me, how do I know if Edge is working? I do not seem to see it anywhere. I followed the instructions.

Also- I am in NY with a SF number. Should I use 41 or 410?

Please help me. i [reseted my G1 Phone, so G1 is initialized to Google account input mode [ "Wellcome to T-Mobile G1'"].
i just have At&t Sim card. how can i activatie my G1 Phone.

soth -
resetting will not lock your phone again. only thing it does is it makes you re-register your gmail account. only reason you are having trouble is because your AT&T sim card probably does not have a data plan. and if it does, use your friends’s tmobile sim card that does have the data plan. you just need it once.

anup-
pretty sure you did not buy a brick. there is no such message as “sim card are not having data plans”. only error msg that you should get is “cannot connect to google servers”

Hi Namshik, after unlock and register, can i still use the t mobile sim cal for normal phone call and text?

jin-
yes

i bought a g1 google phone.I have a tmobile account already,but i do no have internet access on my plan .When i put my sim in it wants me to log into my google account.i signed up and got a free google account hoping it would work ,but when i try to log in it says google servers encountered a problem or sim may not be provisioned for data services.Is there any way around this?

Hey, current Tmobile customer, want to get the G1, but don’t have the data plan. However, I do have GPRS network service, is that enough to activate the phone?

The only way to register the google account on the phone, is find a sim card with data plan? Any other method?

@ananth: I can’t send you unlock codes. I sent them to namshik because he wanted to try to calculate the formula. It’S no use for you to have the codes because every G1 has a special code. Sorry. Till now, we have to buy one or ask t-mobile to provide a free one.

everyone-
sorry, i’m not able to figure out the algorithm. i gave up. please do not email me asking for unlock codes. happy holidays.

on the att network can you still access the app store or whatever its called and download the apps off of att network..

hello.

i got a g1 in UAE. I followed your instructions to remove the previous owners gmail account. I have an ATT sim card so tried activating the phone using my own gmail id. but it wont connect to google servers…. please help…

adam-
not sure what UAE is but make sure you have a data plan on your sim card. if so, try a different carrier by borrowing a friends card with a data plan. there’s been some people having issues activating their gmail account overseas but has posted success by using a different carrier.

if u try to activate g1 with a at&t sim, u need to add the settings for the APN for at&t first, n then it will let u activate

Thanks David…I misplaced your website and could not reply to your comment. I am yet to unlock the phone…it seems the only way is paying $23 for unlock code…any other ideas?

where do u get code for $23?
i paid about $30 but my phone was unlocked in about 10 minutes.

Did you find the algorithm for the unlock yet?

Harper –
Sorry, I gave up

Here is how I got my at&t phone unlocked (I did upgrade my service to unlimited data for $30/month.) At&T was totally unable to unlock the browser function, and they had me call t-Mobile! Anyway, here is the latest:

1. Insert your SIM card and turn on your device.
2. Launch the Settings application from the Home screen.
3. Select “Wireless controls.”
4. Select “Mobile networks.”
5. Select “Access Point Names.”
6. Press the MENU button and select “New APN.”
7. Click on each field to fill in the following information:

Name: Cingular 410
APN: wap.cingular
Username: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1
mmsc: http://mmsc.cingular.com/

You can leave all other fields as-is.

8. Click MENU and select “Save.”
9. Click BACK and then HOME to return to the Home screen.

I am on the East Coast of the US.

I hope this works for some of you

Hi, I have an unlocked G1, in India it is not getting activated. Kindly help!!

I am visiting Irving, TX from Canada. I bought the G1, unlocked it with the code but its stuck @ the gmail screen. I dont know anyone in the town and i leave thursday night. I went to t-mobile but they werent much of help. So is there anyone who could help me by activating my phone from their data plan sim ??????? plz email me @ flytillurhigh@hotmail.com ..
I would appreciate your help.

hi mate any ideas how to blue tooth files from g1 to another phone and vice a versa? regards gaz

gary-
not possible right now

Hi there, thanks for your speedy reply. I think this phone rocks but due to it being a new thing i think we are being used as guinea pigs which is good but i think we should get the next version free for all our hard work

gaz-
yes i agree. i really like the feature of having some contacts configured so that they automatically go to voicemail. this is perfect to those you don’t want to talk to i.e. telemarketers, ex gfs/bfs, etc.

I seem to be able to get everything to work, minus the MMS. I came from a gen1 iPhone and the data plan associated with it. So am I missing some sort of setup to get the MMS to work?

My apology namshik as i am so ancient. …you keep repeating about SIM Card with Data Plan…I am wondering what exactly is sim card with data plan and how about the one without data plan. Can you please explain …sorry for this question but i need to know.

Please, I need use G1 but I leave in Brazil, how I can get use whithout google authentication? I can t connect the internet becouse G1 does not recognize my chip 3G. The first screen that appears is asking the google user, but i can t connect. Please reply me. f.regis@yahoo.com.br

I’m having trouble even setting up my G1.
I bought it unlocked off EBay and I can’t even get it to connect to the Google Servers to login & setup my phone. I have a Gmail account & all that, so what do I need to do?? I have a prepaid AT&T sim card with messaging & internet as well. PLEASE HELP!!!
lewej.jahlil@gmail.com
Thanks!

ok my turn, i have a iphone and used tmobile with a a supposed tmoblie blackberry contract, can i go through activation via wifi? or via a computer?

prolific – borrow your friends tmobile sim w/ data to perform this step. only needs to be done once.

sss – go search hackint0sh on google

charles – sms messages don’t go through data networks, its a different protocol. make sure you’re configuring the setting correctly per the post

rookie – sim card is the chip that goes inside the phone behind the batter. when i refer to the data plan, i’m referring to the G1 data plan that is offered by tmobile. there’s been evidence, however, that people have been able to successfully connect to the google servers without having to use a sim card registered with tmobile with the g1 data plan – they’ve been able to use their own carriers’ registered sim card and the internet (data) plan

i want to do this. what do i need to send you? please reply in email. thanks.

i kept trying and i got it, but now my internet only works sometimes, i do have the two additional wap’s entered into my phone for tzones, but yesterday it was working, and today it’s not, what gives?

I bought a G-1 a month ago, and now I have it with me on vacation in Brazil for three weeks. The problem is, my phone locked due to too many pattern attemps. I went online for support help and they helped me to reset my G-1. ….now when I try to sign in with my google account, it says; “there is a problem communicating with the google servers”…..is there any possible way to bypass the google sign in, and just start using the phone?

Here’s a proposal – I send you my g1 and att sim card w/ data plan, you stick a tmobile card in and register with google, check my new apn, check if the att card works, send it back to me with the google reg info. I cover shipping costs and whatever you deem reasonable for your time and expertise.

Does anyone have the password for
” tmobilg1activation@gmail.com ” im with att with data plan. Everything works (google,internet etc ) but the marketplace. I read the post for resetting the phone but im scared to . Im affraid it will lock and i dont know anybody who uses tmobil.

This is what im worried about – Quote from Scott Abshire :
Well i tried that and yes it does ask for a new gmail account info to login. But the problem is that it only tries to cennect to a T-Mobile network even when i have my AT&T sim card installed. So it looks like i’m screwed now because i don’t know anyone around this area with a tmobile sim card to use.

Thanks a lot for writing this. It worked for me (had to pay to buy an unlock code, and used a friend’s AT&T card to sign in to my Google account). I have my own SIM card in now, it’s from a small Wisconsin carrier and I don’t have data service but the WiFi works.

THANKS ALOT FOR THE INFORMATION … Appreciate it

Hi there, I would really like to get the G1 for both me and my husband–but a 50 dollars extra a month for data plan is way too steep–is there any way around this? We are currently Tmobile customers and I was hoping just to buy the phone w/o the plan…please help

i have an unlocked g1 that works great. but the browser or google search wont work with the edge. it works on wifi but not edge. and i downloaded the opera app and it works. but the regular browser gives me a no connectivity message.

Maria – the g1 plan is $25/month so i don’t think it’s that steep compared to the data plans from other carriers. if you want to save money, just get the EDGE plan for 5.99. slow internet but you’re saving money. or you can just cancel the data plan once you get the phone. you won’t get penalized.

HI Namsik 1. Does Boost Mobile Work On A G1 And Can You Post The Other Networks That It Work On It 2.How Can I Get A Video Recorder 4 The G1 3. I Just Put In My SimUnlockCode Which I Got From T-Mobile(Thankz 2 My Friend)But My Phone Is Not Activated By Google So Did I Mess Up By Unlocking The G1 First Namshik????

lonno – i think boost mobile uses CDMA, not GSM (sim card). so no.

Can You Post The Other Networks That It Work On It

how u doin,i found a g1 and i want to bypass the sign in screen is there anyway i can bypass that screenand be able to use my tmobile sim,if possible plz email me at xavisant24@aol.com..thank u

x – no, there is not a way.

ay im getting a g1 soon ,
can u provide me with a free unlock code if i give u my imei number?

Hey, I read on some sites that if I take my friends G1 sim card and activate the phone, the voice wont work? I also heard the trick does not work anymore? Can you clarify please?

akz – ive heard of no such thing

I have a question, I have a unlocked G1, I have my service with AT&T. I can’t not open any text with downloads, or unable to use all the phone has to offer. Is there something more I can do to the phone to turely use the phone and all it features.

vanessa – you should be able to use all the features with the modified settings. the only thing you cannot get is “3g”

i have an AT&T plan and I’m able to get on the net and stuff on my Iphone so if i got an unlocked g1 could i still do all the things i can on my AT&T phone or do i need a new plan if i purchase an unlocked g1 cause i want to get one soon if i can but if not I’m not going to…

Hey i got a G1 right and i cant get pass the welcome it says to connect to the google server right i have a prepaid sidekick sim card how can i make this work any body can help me!!!

would appreciate help unlocking my g1.

i had my g1 unlock and was using it, this phone was owned by someone eles, there for the person name still appear in the gmail account and would not let update to my, so I did a factory restore settings and now im stuck at the google servers thing i have my google account but still wont reset and now i can’t get pass the sign on screen, what can i do to get my phone restarted, I also did the set up for AT&T that is posted but still nothing, can anyone help me. Thanks

I have just got back into my phone by changing a few thing on the APN screen and now i am able to get into thing i have never been.
My solution was to leave the username and password APN settings blank. That way, the G1 simply doesn’t know how to use the data connection. i tried this only because it would not let me get pass the google e-mail screen, but once i change some of my setting it let me register and do the rest of the set up.

These are the settings I used:
Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: leave blank
Port: leave blank
Username: leave blank
Password: leave blank
Server: leave blank
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC:310
MNC:410
APN Type: leave blank

can i use a sidekick prepaid sim card to bypass the sign in as long as it has internet

Yo.

for those who want to activate the G1 w/o registering w/Tmobile, I think U will need to set it for WIFI and connect to the Google-servers *that way*.

after thats done, U should be golden from wat I can tell.

TAzer:
From what I’ve ben reading, you cannot get to the WiFi setup until you get pass the initial setup of the phone which requires you to have a G1 data plan sim to log into your gmail account. Only then will the phone start functioning.

Hi!

I don't know if you can help me, cuz the thing is that this is not really my phone, I found it, I though I was very lucky, but guess what, when I called T-mobile to get the unlock code, the phone is already reported as Lost/Stolen.

They didn't want to give me the unlock code .

Is there anything you can do to help me please?

Hi! I have HTC G1 and I use it with AT&T. Everything was just fine till I dropped my phone and it started showing 'No Service' on the main display and the signal bar started howing a little 'X' mark in front of it indicating no signal. I have already took the battery and sim card out and also tried the soft and hard reset. Interestingly it would get the signal sometimes….Is it due to bad antena or something else? please help…

So my friend gave me his G1 and replaced his phone with a silly blackberry (stupid, i know..). Scratched like heck but still functions, so I'm happy. I asked him to call T-Mobile and get the unlock code fore me, but the douche didn't want to. So I asked around and finally one of my friends did it for me. He had to get his mom on phone to help with verification of the the account. They sent him an email and now I have my unlock code and phone for free. I'm signed with ATT for four more months. I changed my plan to unlimited data til then. Here's my IMEI and unlock code. Hope this helps. I was looking forward to posting this comment all day. I hope you help someone out there.
