Good morning!
I recently bought Samsung Note 2014 10.1 (5.1.1) P607T.
Because the tablet has a feature to send and receive txt messages I inserted my sim card from the cellphone. It worked, but 4G LTE internet didn't (symbol is on, arrows blinking but won't let you go anywhere just sometimes t-mobile page pops up). TMobile said the tablets have a special plan, means the moment they will turn it on, my number would be gone or I should register an additional line.
I found it kinda archival strategy, I surf internet on my cellphone for 500GB, tablet just a bigger phone. What a ..... secondary why would you offer txt/mms feature on your tablet if it won't work.
I released, since the broadband gives you the ability to actually "connect" 4G LTE via regular sim card there should be a way around how to make it work.
The moment I insert my sim card in S7 internet works without problem. Back to tablet - blocks and sometimes sends to a page where with the statement that they won't be able to give me an internet.
My guess:
Since the 4G LTE symbol is on, arrows are blinking and they send me to that page the connection actually works. How do they block me? I have a guess that they block me because they recognize that I'm connecting from my tablet.
The way how they recognize my tablet (as I guess), by IMEI, and maybe by Model and Serial Number (unless they left some other "marks" in their build for this tablet). So, if I will root my device and will use something like IMEI Engineer app to change IMEI, model and serial to my old S6 cellphone (which I still have, it's just bugging) , it suppose to work?
Any advice would be highly appreciated!
