Default Will it work I bought one from internet?!

Hi guys, how are you doing?

Excuse me for my English

I've HTC Incredible S, I bought it from UK before a year ago.
I'm in US right now and get a simcard from At&T and paid for the Data plan but unfortunately it doesn't work!
the seller told me it should be American phone or from At&T :/

So, If I bought the Samsung Galaxy S II SkyRocket from eBay or Amazon, will it work perfectly and the data plan will work or not?!
(because I've found it from ebay $205)

I hope I can an answer for this question

The HTC Incredible S should work with the AT&T sim. Did you take it to a AT&T store? They probably have to adjust your settings for you to use it.

If you get the Skyrocket, make sure its an AT&T version.

my Incredible S work perfect with AT&T but the data plan doesn't work because the seller told me (the phone must be from America or from AT&T) :/

So, because of that I'm asking, If I bought the Galaxy S II Skyrocket AT&T (at&t logo on the phone) from eBay, will the data plan will work or not?!

I want to change my phone because of the Data plan. I need Internet in my phone everywhere I go.

Depends on what phone plan you go with. Most plans for just 1 smart phone will cost around $80 to $100.

It all depends on how many minutes you want and how much internet you want (200mb or 2gb).



Just to let you know, that link you posted requires a contract. So you would likely still need a deposit to get it.

Oh no, Is there anyway can I get the phone without a deposit?!
I have $250 (the phone price) but cannot bay for the deposit

any other websites you suggest for me to buy the phone...

Check out www.ebay.com. To get a brand new smart phone like the skyrocket you'll be likely paying at least $400. You may want to think about getting a less expensive phone for your price range.

Really, Can you please help me on this one?
If it works I'll be the happiest guy ever ^_^

I enter Settings>>Wireless & networks>>Mobile networks>>Access Point Names
and found MediaNet as my APNs and under it there is wap.cingular in a very small font
like this
MediaNet
wap.cingualr

I hope you can give me the details so I can create a new APN or edit the MediaNet

Waiting for you post
