Dell Streak 7 + Simple Mobile

Is anybody using the Dell Streak 7 with Simple Mobile? Did you have to unlock it or did you just have to stick the SIM card in?

no idea... They are in puerto rico. Maybe I try them!

Simple Mobile SIM card will work with your SIM locked T-mobile Dell Streak 7.

I was able to get my Simple Mobile card to work perfectly by overwriting the existing T-mobile APN settings and hitting save. It will NOT work if you try to add brand new APN settings list unless you are able to get the unlock code from T-mobile and it's not easy.

So open the T-mobile APN list and make it look like this:


Name: Simple Mobile
APN: simple
Proxy: [empty]
Port: [empty]
Username: [empty]
Password: [empty]
Server: [empty]
MMSC: http://smpl.mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.50 or [empty]
MMS Port: 8080 or [empty]
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: [Empty]

Then hit the menu button and select "save". You''ll see your radio restart and BAM you're enjoying your Dell Streak a whole lot more.

Remember the default T-mobile settings will show back up if you do a factory reset.

I can unlock Dell Streak 7 with an unlock code.

can you make calls with it

Thanks, It works on the streak 5 also!!!! Great Job

Mine has been working great with the Simple Mobile sim card. However, after rooting and installing Clockwork Recovery, I did a factory reset, now I can't get the unit to reboot. Every time I turn it off it only will go into Recovery.

Anyone able to help me out?

I work with simple mobile as a retailer. Yes the DS7 CAN work with simple mobile (No unlock needed), even the 4G network ability. Now I would NOT suggest using the 40 or 60$ Voice plans. Reason is, you dont HAVE voice calling on the DS7. You are mostly a internet and text. Which on THOSE plans, they would cut you off after you reach too much data.

I would recommend getting the 45$ broadband plan, gives you 4G speed up to 2 GB of data. Then change the APN.

how change the APN?

what benefits does that give. The data begings again?

Thats one question still not sure of.. Being that its a broadband plan... they may have it set to 4G up to 2GB then slow down the rest of the connection afterwords. However I have not had anyone come up to me and complain like they do when they used too much data on a phone service. Cause THAT one I know Simple mobile WILL turn off internet, they send warnings out 1st. Then they shut it off till you pay for the next cycle, but sadly they force a customer to wait too. Virgin Mobile least gives people the option to restart a plan from that date.
