Using a Google Nexus phone with BT Mobile sim card

For my birthday, my son has given me a 'google nexus' phone. Whilst I was in Sweden, visiting him, we put my BT sim card in and he 'set it up' to work via his hub (obviously I was conscious of the cost if I had been using anything else) Now I am 'back home' how can I fix it so that I receive the 'internet etc' as I have an unlimited bundle, well as far as unlimited means!
Everything is fine when it is 'connected' to my home hub but when I venture outside I need to connect up to a 'hot zone' or 'fon' which is a bit limiting. How can I get onto the internet when ever I want.
I'm afraid I'm more of a 'pug in and play' person so struggle with all of the technical terms.
In a nutshell ... can I get on to the internet to use all the apps etc on the 'Nexus Google phone' with my BT Anywhere package and sim?
Thanks in anticipation
Ritchie

I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

If your iPhone is locked to a wireless provider, only that wireless provider
can unlock it. Contact the wireless provider in Hong Kong to see if they
offer unlocking and if you qualify.
If your iPhone is locked to an AppleID that you do not know, return it for
a refund as it is useless. Only the person whose AppleID was used for
activation can remove the lock. There is no workaround for Activation Lock.
If neither of the above is what you are facing, provide more detail so someone
may offer a solution.

Using unlocked Iphone 2G phone with t-mobile - non emergency calls

Hello - I have gotten a used Iphone 2G phone. There is firmware installed into it and I am currently on t-mobile. The phone is unlocked. I have my t-mobile sim card in the phone....and I can dial out, and receive calls and (text messages) and that is about it. When I make a call it says 'non emergency calls only" but I can still dial out. from what I was told (from a local wireless company) the phone just can't get past the activation so if I can get past that it will work...please help me if at all possible. and will be more then happy to provide additional details with the issue....thank you in advance!

The phone was purchased unlocked (paid high price). But I guess there is a chance I got ripped off... If so, why does it work with different carriers in Sweden with different SIM cards?

Which iPad 4 versions can you use with Swedish mobile SIM cards?

Browsing around user forums and getting more and more confused :b If I want to use an iPad 4 with a Swedish SIM card as of today = being able to use an iPad 4 in Sweden without Wi-fi connection, which models do I have to choose from? Read a lot about 4G technology not being compatible with Swedish technology etc.... Help?

You can not "unlock it to T-Mobile". If the phone is locked to AT&T, ONLY AT&T can authorize unlocking it. Contact them and find out if it's eligible for unlocking. If it is, and you meet their requirements, they will process the request to unlock it. If it is not eligible, and/or you don't meet their requirements, then it can only be used on AT&T.

Can I buy an iphone in the USA and use it in the UK with an o2 sim card?

I have just been re-issued an o2 pay monthly sim card as my phone was stolen. I'm going to NYC in September and was thinking of getting a iPhone in an apple store there. Will I be able to bring it home and use it in England with my o2 sim card? Or will I need to get it unlocked? Thank you

Thank you so much. This makes a lot of my sense. As my phone was stolen too, it probably makes sense to buy it in the UK and keep the reciept as i'm claiming on insurance ... I thought I might save money by getting it in the US, but actually you're right, after all the hassle and then the problems afterwards, probably best just to stick to the home country! Thank you.

Can I use UK iPhone in Canada with a Canadian Sim Card

I have an iPhone 4 that was previously on an O2 contract in the UK. The contract is coming up to expiry and I have contacted O2 and they are now currently in the process of unlocking it. The phone was originally purchased through O2, not throught the Carphone Warehouse or other 3rd party.
I am moving to Canada in the near future and was wondering if the phone will work with a Candian Sim Card from a Canadian Network provider (e.g. Rodgers)?

Once it is unlocked, it will work on any GSM carrier in the world. If it's a supported carrier, no changes will need to be made.
If it's an unsupported carrier, then it will be up to that carrier to provide the necessary informationn to get the device working (APN's and such information).

I need help activating my iphone 4 with t-mobile sim card?

I already unlocked my iphone 4 and got my sim card activated at the store. Why is the phone noy recognizing my sim card? Please help!!!

Okay. I would just restore the phone as new. Follow the instructions here. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5014 See if that helps. Restore as new, then try the new SIM. You could always try going into General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings. That should force the phone back to the activation section. If you are still having difficulties, you can check with Apple.

Telus email settings for phone with T-Mobile SIM

Hello,
I have a Q10 that is normally on the Telus network. Spending time in TX I've unlocked the Q10 and installed a T-Mobile SIM. Great. Got a TX phone number and BBM and web browsing work perfectly.
But. Although my Telus email accounts make all incoming email available on the handheld, I cannot send email through the Telus accounts.
For reference the accounts are setup as:
(These are the default settings inserted automatically when I setup the Q10.)
Username: [email protected]
Email Addresss: [email protected]
Server Address: imap.telus.net
Port: 143
Encription: Off
IMAP Path Prefix: [blank]
SMTP Username: [blank]
SMTP Server Addresss: smtp.telus.net
SMTP Port: 587
In searching for a solution I found this (outdated?) KB article KB33691 which notes at the bottom that the settings only allow outgoing mail when connected to a Telus network.
What settings do I use to allow incoming and outgoing Telus email when connected to a non-Telus network?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello FYIP.
Okay, I thought there must be some sort of magic or secret setting. I called Telus as you suggested and within 10 minutes the tech support guy solved the problem. He looked on some list and confirmed that the standard settings should work fine for T-Mobile. He then advised me to delete the affected Telus email accounts on the Q10 and recreate them again. All defaults were accepted. Exception was fields where a password was required and auto-populated he told me to erase and retype the password.
Voila! All is good. Outgoing and incoming mail work just fine.
Way to go Telus. Count me as another satisfied customer.

I have an iPhone 4, which is on 3(UK) network, I want to use this phone with a SFR sim card is possible just to switch sim cards. 3 UK to SFR

I have ordered an iPhone 5 (YIPEE) to use on 3 (UK), I would like to use my old iPhone 4 on SFR (France), currently using it on 3 (UK). Would I be able too just swap my sim card I have at the moment, on 3 (UK) for a SFR (France) sim card or is there something I need to do to make that happen? What would that be?
I would really appreciate any advice.

You need to unlock your iPhone with 3 to use it with other microSIMs. Check their website to see what the process is.

German Iphone using in the US with T-Mobile Sim. Help!

I have a german IPhone 5 bought in 09/2012. use it with German O2 carrier. now i'm in the US and I bought a prepaid sim from T-Mobile. but it does not work who can help me. normaly there should not be a simlock, because I bought the Iphone directly at Apple without any contract
what can i do, it is important that I can use it
thanks for your help

You have already activated the phone with the T-Mobile sim card in it, which is why the phone has become locked to T-Mobile and whilst the phone is locked to T-Mobile, there is no way to re-activate it with another sim card.
It is not silly at all and this is where you needed to have done your research in full and ask those questions about the differences between unlocked phones and sim free/contract free phones and then you would have found this out.
There is nothing else that you can do. What you need to do is contact T-Mobile in the US and tell them that you purchased the phone from the US Apple store and activated it with their sim card and the phone is now locked and request that they unlock it for you. They may do it, but mostly they may tell you that you need to wait 40 days before they will unlock the phone for you. Unfortunately, whilst you wait for the 40 days you won't be able to use the phone and there is absolutely nothing that you can do.
Also, if you are using this phone in Europe why on earth did you buy it in the US? If you knew that you wanted to use the phone in Europe, why did you not go and buy the phone in another European country? This would have made more sense, because countries like the UK sell unlocked phones in the Apple store and you will have EU warranty on the phone and you will most likely get 4G too, but with the phone you have now, you have found that you cannot use it and your warranty is only valid for the US and not the EU - iPhone warranty is not international.
There is nothing else that you can do now except contact T-Mobile in the US and request an unlock, but until they will unlock you will not be able to use the phone.
