Default G1 Network setup for AT&T help

Here is what i got so far. I bought a g1 off of ebay, got an unlock code from tmobile, used a friends tmobile sim card to go through the activation. Now I have my AT&T sim card in the phone with Phone calls, and messaging working but no Edge/GPRS. I don't know how you set this up in android and need some help please. Thanks, Jared

as far as I know att has a differnt frequency then tmobile and the g 1 can not read the att frequency for data. I am not sure of all the details but I know I have read something to this effect in these forums. I am sure someone in here will be glad to go in to further detail for you.

It is the 3g that is on a different frequency. The GPRS works on the same.

Actually no, just go into Settings>Wireless Controls>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names>Menu>New APN

Now google ATT's Network APN settings, and fill them in the blank fields on your G1.

Hope that helps.

why does everyone have to break the rules. just stay on tmobile or wait for att to come out with an android device. at least that way you have a chance at getting 3g.

If you read his post, you can see that he realizes that. That is why he refers to EDGE and GPRS. Any yes, he will have functioning data services as long as he has data on his ATT line. He may not be able to access the IM client or other MP, but he WILL have data.

You know how that goes. I think its cool he admires TMO's great handsets. I myself have to admit to having quite a few unlocked carrier branded devices.

For real my take is you unlock a phone and go to another carrier and it doesnt work fully well its not meant to be used on that carrier. I hear this stuff all day at work people complaining bc there non tmobile phone wont do certain things. Well its not set up for the network and we cant make it work if its not our device.
