  • How do u get past the sign in screen ? Cuz i dnt have the g1 plan . I jus want 2 use the phone

  • I don't have any data plan on my G1. All I did was call up T-Mobile and that I was canceling my internet plan since I am switching to another phone that I have.

  • well i had this problem and i used my sim from my tmobile shadow to fix it and i know it doesnt have a g1 plan

  • o sh1t i factory rebooted my g1 and i don't have g1 data ready sim so what should i do?

  • @cyclonejokerdouble12 find someone who has a g1 that has data on it, then borrow their sim to get through the email password thing. then once u logged in to ur phone you can return your sim in your phone

  • @brpimp i don't see anybody with a g1 but thx for the info dude

  • @cyclonejokerdouble12

    me too reset and now its not working....can some body help me out??

  • Or... you can go on wifi, set up gmail account and then have it without all of that trouble. LOLOL

  • Wait, but wen u said u needed sum 1 elses g1 plan. I put my cousins regular tmobile sim card without any plans, well just calling & it worked & my fone unlocked. Then I just topok her sim card out out. Is there gonna b on charges?

  • so all you have to do is get another persons tmobile sim card & put it in the g1 ?

    b/c my fone is unlcoked by the tmobile retailer place in the store, & my cousin was playing with the unlock pattern SOOO. yeah, its locked. now.

  • @katietrinh95 you can try puttin the email and password in but if you dont have that info. you need to get someones G1 data ready sim.(not just any sim card)~~

  • @katietrinh95 you will have to reset ur phone if u dont know the email and password just hold down the power button and the home button at the same time until a warning sign comes up then press alt 1 and it should reset

  • Hi, I have a g1 code I found, but now my daughter locked it by trying to open it with the pattern. Now it asks for the email and password, but I dont have the original email and password. How can I get my phone to work again?

  • @pioneer6900 normally it should be your email but if someone unlocked it for you then you need to find the person who unlocked it and get their email and password!!! if you dont know who that was or if they forgot their password you will need to reset the whole phone and unlock it with your own email and pass (BUT THAT REQUIRES THE DATA PACKAGE) SO if you dont want to pay for data find someone with a g1 that has data on their phone and borrow their sim to unlock your phone with your phone

  • Alright, I just got this phone off of craigslist, I don't have a data plan, and I turned off everything like gps 3g and all that.

    If I use the wifi and browse the internet and such, will I be charged?

  • @deejay321 you wont get charged cause you wont be receiving the data form tmobile.! if you dont have any data at all the only internet stuff you are going to get is with wifi!!!

  • do i necessarily need to have someone else's G1 Sim card? or can i just take a sim card from any other phone?

  • @dsj134870 you need someones g1 data ready sim card (meaning someone who has a g1 with internet) to get passed the gmail thing in the beggining after that you will be good! the reason why you cant unlock with any sim card is cuz the internet are diff.

  • How do i get passed the gmail thing if i dont have an internet plan on my phone?

  • @kathleenshanick you need someones g1 data ready sim card (meaning someone who has a g1 with internet) to get passed the gmail thing in the beggining after that you will be good!

  • well buddie the only thing you can do to fix that problem is find someone with a data ready sim card and borrow that sim to unlcok your phone. after you do that your sim card will work on your phone!! but thats all you can do!!

  • well idk if you can help me i wish you could but yeah i reset my phone ( yeah my dumb ass did that ) and well i dont have internet on it and i cant sign in cuz i dont have internet wat can i do. Appreciate if you help me thanks

  • oh ok idk if you can help me but i reset my phone yeah my dumb ass did that and well i dont have the internet on it so i cant get the email thing in the beginnin wat can i do

  • i have a sidekick lx on prepaid to but im gonna get the g1 so wil it work

  • @MrLilvonsmith In order for your sim to work on the phone (or for the phone to work at all) the phone needs to be unlocked meaning someone with a g1 data ready sim card needs to unlock your phone then your sim card should work!

  • i dont see the little android icon blinking when i power up my phone(the little green man)i see the andriod icon but not the little blinking green man why is my phone broken please tell me..

  • @galingo1 It might be the version of your android! you might have to update your version like cupcake 1.6

  • Hey man i have a tmobile g1, i originaly bought it and no1 else has used it. I recently switch to a less expensive phone with out data and 3g. so i took the data plan off my plan. But that phone i was using is broken. Now im using my G1 again.. is there anyway i can use the data n what not? cuz the phone is giving me problems such as its not sync with anything

  • @mattcolon the data for the g1 is different so you would have to add that plan if you wanted 3g on the g1 !! or if you dont want to do that . just use your wifi!!! and that should all work!

  • well hello ther... i just resonatly had the g1 basically ubloked... but i ended up restarting it so i put in my sim card but it wont let me so is ther any way you can do it now??

  • @QuickDodgeTheBullets well buddie the only thing you can do to fix that problem is find someone with a data ready sim card and borrow that sim to unlcok your phone. after you do that your sim card will work on your phone!! but thats all you can do!!

  • can you recieve picture messages and such without the data plan? if not is there a way around that?

  • does it cost money for you

  • the internet plan for g1 is 30 dollars per mnth and its not that worth it to get it if ur not really gonna use internet on ur fone wat u can do is if u decided to get g1 and they tell u to get internet on it with the plan get it and then cancell the internet on it 1 week later and ur fone will still work

  • i got a g1 from my friend and it works because he activated for me. but i cant set up wifi. everytime i press wifi, it says its turning on than it says UNABLE TO START WIFI. and im sure my wifi works because i also have an ipod touch. please help me

  • does this realy work? cuz im buying a g1 from a friend but all i have is the unlimited text and calling. and he has already activatated for me

  • ok i have a prepaid sim card for a sidekick lx...i used sum1 elses simcard to open my g1 and set up my gmail account on my g1 and thn i put my prepaid sim in the g1...all i can do is call and text but i want 3g service on my sim card so i can go to the internet and goto the market to download apps... but i cnt because my simcard is not 3g its prepaid...is tht possible to do plz let me knoe

  • hey buddie!! you wont be able to get 3g because like you said your prepaid sim does is not 3g ready.!!! but u can use wifi on your g1 to download apps. !! its actually faster then 3g.. its only annoying cuz u need to be somewhere that has wifi..!! good luck buddie @prettiboiiwalle21

  • how do you get locked out of a g1 oh and if my friend has a g1 with a data plan can and we trad phones do i have to get the data plan

  • hwo do you open the g1 to put sht sim card in \

  • can ii do thyz for the mytouch 3g?

    and could i purchase the phone from tmobile without data package?

  • I had a Rizr Z3 with the 5.99 a month internet plan I use my friends G1 to see if it would work with my Sim card the same way and it did. Did it quick but don't know if you have any limitations tho. But decided to upgrade and get my G1 expecting it today =)

  • wat if i dont have no one with a data plan to do so

  • stop stealing your moms sim card loll

  • i got a question..umm after you get someone to put in their sim card to unlock the phone can you then recieve mms? or can u only recieve sms?

  • what if you dont have internet in order to do that?

  • So if I buy a used phone on eBay do I have to get it unlocked or as he says in the video sign in the first time using Internet. But if I get it used on eBay I won't have to do the procces or will I have to??

  • Whats the point of having a G1 without a data plan?

  • because sometime you can't afford the plan, or your credit isn't right to get the phone on contract. Like me, i bought mines off my cousin and have a sidekick-data plan and it works on mines perfectly as long as i have wifi

  • well , u could use wifi dude... its data plan for FREE.... of course gotta have a wifi spot but that comes secondary..instead of paying $59 a month for data services...

  • hmm i have quesiton about this. Let say i have t-mobile simcard with no data plan but if i get one of my friend simcard who has data plan and unlock the phone. After that if i put my regular t-mobile mobile simcard with no data plan. will it work and am i gonna get charge for it?

  • can u get on the web with out the g1 package?

  • no. you dont..!! the only time you have to go through this process again is if you master reset you phones, or any reset in that case!!

  • if your phone dies and it turns off do u have to do the whole thing over again

  • if u dont have a texting plan on ur account then u would get charged, but if u r on wifi then u can't get charged for downloading apps... and the cupcake update is automatic. or u can download it through a website...

  • is the g1 data plan the same thing as any data plan for any other phone, or is it like thee iphone data?
