[Q]Install ATT blocked app from market?

---

Any one know how to install AT&T blocked Apps from Android market without rooting the phone??

I have been searching on the net. Most people said turn on airport mode or takeout the SIM card. I tried both but neither one work.

Anyone have other ways to install those apps? (Calling card is the one I actually want to install)


Thanks a lot,

Thanks a lot,

In the past doing this has worked, though, I have not tried it myself on the Inspire yet.

• Power down your phone
  
• Take out your sim
  
• Boot phone
  
• Get on wifi
  
• Go to the appstore and install your app
  
• Power phone down, replace sim and restart

There is some data on the sim that prohibits users from finding/installing certain apps from the store. It should be noted, that this is NOT a solution for apps that require the phone to be rooted to function properly.

Let me know how it goes.

Doesn't work for me...

I even deleted the cache and the app data of Market.

Can you send it from your computer to your phone? Android.com/market.

Crap it's even blocked there.

I've always been able to just put the phone in airplane mode, then connect to wifi, then load market and have access to whatever I need - never had to pull SIM

It won't let me......

I got this error message:
"This item is not available on your carrier" (Please see attached screenshot)

I think the problem is with the app. I have an unlocked Nexus One in addition to my inspire and I can not even get that app to install on the N1, which is unlocked and wifi only since the sim is in the Inspire now.

I used the airplane mode to put PDA net on my phone no problem, it was not available when the phone was hooked to at&t's network. You might want to connect the developer and see if there are specific network requirements.

Well if sideloading does not work... and removing the sim does not either... not sure... which app are you trying to install? Maybe I can try.

I just got pdanet, put your phone in airplane mode then turn on WiFi. Reopen market and search for your app.

I can't find the app if I run Market on the phone (with SIM pulled and wifi).
If I search the the developer (ALEJANDRO TROCCOLI) on the phone(again, no SIM), I only see the Pro version. If I search it on my PC I get the free and Pro.


Thanks again,
