I ordered a SAMSUNG I907 EPIX to take to Europe and plan to put in a local SIM card in Spain. Will I run into all these ATT problems? I am hoping to use it for internet as the hotels have wifi. Has anyone used a SiM in Europe…. and thus with no ATT or other plan? Thanks!

Just recently picked up an unlocked Epix last week & flashed Windows Mobile 6.5. I’m not sure if this had been talked about before but I have a question concerning WiFi.

I don’t have a data plan either, but I can use the WiFi with no problem. But, if I forget to turn on the wifi, the phone by default tries to activate a 3G data connection. Is there a way to disable the phone from doing this automatically, so that anytime I try accessing the internet it will just simply turn on the wifi and try to connect to that instead? This sounds like it could either be a regedit becaue I couldn’t find anything within the phone’s settings to disable connecting to wap.cingular.

Any help would be awesome!

I have an HTC Tilt phone with WiFi capability. I set up a seperate network connection to access my home newtwork. It takes me about 40 seconds to switch connections and I’m off surfing the web.

But lately I haven’t been able to connect to the AT&T 3G system. I haven’t changed any settings. Can’t understand why it quit. I don’t have a data plan because I don’t need the service all that much and didn’t mind paying for what little I used, didn’t have a plan before and it worked. I go to many places that offer free WiFi and easily connect in those places.
You think AT&T shut down thier customes that don’t have a plan??
I’ve been with AT&T since 1995 and never had problems….till now.

If theirs anything wrong with your phone I would just keep calling at&t. I have always found better results the second or 3rd time in calling. They have even been alot quicker for some reason the 1st one takes an hour and the next get shorter. But generally in the end I get what I want.
WiFi I would first state that this is a pc named samsung epix that I bought from your store. It is not working with my wifi and it should be. If it is not working I would like a warrenty or insurance claim to a phone that will work without having a data plan I dont need to us a wifi connection with a wifi pre ready phone.

Howard C & hl:
I do not have an AT&T data plan and I recently spoke to an AT&T rep. who told me that AT&T now requires all smartphone users to pay the $30 for the plan. She said that if I bought the phone before the policy was in place (which I did) I would be grandfathered in and wouldn’t have to pay the data plan charges. Great, except for AT&T has blocked my WiFi. What’s next, AT&T blocks my Solitaire unless I pay a gaming fee? Can I still use my Contacts or will I have to pay a fee to have AT&T remember phone numbers for me? Please don’t tell me Bubble Breaker is next!

Does anyone know how to get out of this?

I tried all these steps and even unlocked the phone with the subsidy code. I can use wifi with apps and MiniMo and a trial version of opera, but not with Pocket Internet Explorer. I will probably break down and by Opera.

Can you get streaming radio broadcasts on the Epix via wifi without a data plan? I can get the internet and I’ve tried to acces iheartradio.com, but I get the message “flash player is not installed or up to date”, although I installed the newest version and did a soft reset. I live in an area where I have limited reception, and this would be ideal when I’m outside in the summer!

I unlocked my Epix a few weeks back. ATT was upset with me, but I went over to T-Mobile and now have their SIM card in my Epix. ATT uses a lot of intimidation tactics to get you to stay with them, but I can tell you this fact: my Wi-Fi works without issue at all. I have wireless in my home and I connect to the internet using IE without problems. I DO NOT have a data plan with T-Mobile. I changed carriers due to ATT’s requirement to have a data plan on their “Pocket PC” phones. I don’t use the data app’s when I’m away from the house, so I did not see the point in paying for a service that I hardly ever used. My only problem now is that I cannot get MMS pics to download. It’s annoying at best, but at least I can still access my Pocket Express app via Wi-Fi.
