I use the AT&amp;T go phone sim card. I can make calls and text but not multimedia text and cannot access the web. Is there a way to get this phone to get this phone to access all the features such as the web and multimedia texting and so forth??

I have a go phone with the number Z431 I need a Z221 or a Z331 to pair with my new car. Can I just go to AT&T; to buy a sim card with Z221 or Z331 to put in my phone

When I purchased the phone, it did not come with a sim card period. I used my regular sim card with ATT and I had to purchase a small SD card for it to work properly. I had to call my cell phone provider to get the information so it could work on their network.

The John's phone is only for calling and receiving texts. You cannot text on this pgone, you can only receive text messages and are not able to respond by text. There is no Internet at all so I think that card is too high level for this phine. I bought it because I didn't want my son to have access to the internet. I only wanted him to be able to make calls in case of emergencies. A very basic phone. We used an AT&T; CARD IN THE PHONE for unlocked phones.

it does that (talk) and text messages only... nothing else because the one I got say it it unlock but it is not. It was AT&T fone so internet funcion is still locked unless you sign-up with AT&T

from my experience when I first got the unit I tried using an AT&T sim card. The unit did not work as it was supposed. I wasn't able to control it remotely from my cell phone. I called the seller and they advised me to use a t-mobile sim card. I then went to t-mobile and activated a prepaid SIM card and then the unit worked as it was supposed. from my understanding AT&T no longer has 2g capability but T-mobile does. Hope this helps. The seller's customer service is also pretty good.

Yes. All AT&T; phones can be used as a go phone but must have smartphone plan.

Its doesn't natively make or receive calls. However you can if you download voip programs. Yes it takes att sim and once activated it has a number when can be used to send and receive text messages

Thanks Darth. It did detect and configure the ATT access points - ATT Internet and ATT MediaNet. However, when I tried to go online, it says "packet data not found". I compare the ATT Internet settings with my E71. Everything is same. I cannot figure out why E71 can go online but 5800 cannot. Could it be some issue with SIM card, like SIM card not allowed to access ATT Internet. I have no problem in getting SMS.

The other answer is very informative. When I had this phone, I had unlimited and I could receive group texts and photo texts. I had unlimited text, talk, and internet for about $10 but it was through ATT. Also, my phone only took ok pictures. They weren't exactly the best.

Wish I could. I wanted to use ATT because I have a go-phone acct there. they would not allow web access on my account. Said I needed a data account.I'm waiting for a Sim card from AirvoiceWireless.com to arrive, They have some sort of $10 plan To test access. They warned it might or might work.I did not try T-Mobile after readin gother reviesws here. HTH John

It takes any sim card, as far as I know! If it doesn't work, it might be because your simcard is locked to your old phone, which you should be able to fix by calling tmobile customer service. I had to do this with my AT&T GoPhone sim.

I used my SIM card on this phone. This phone was a replacement for my old GoPhone AT&T; U2800A, and it works perfect!

The phone does take SIM cards. I have a go phone card And it works perfect. It is an AT&T; phone though. I think T Mobile uses CDMA.

Dear Customer, Thanks for your interest in our items. Yes, this is an unlocked phone compatible with At&t. NOTE: Unlocked phones are not yet programmed for any network. In order to access the internet and use multimedia messages, you will need to program the phone according to your carrier. We have instructions for AT&T and T-Mobile (USA only). We look forward to have you as a customer. Thanks, Gus

I've actually heard of ppl doing that. I know that you'll be able to text and make calls but the data won't work unless you manually configure the phone settings. I've never done it so it might be a pain. I'm not exactly the nerd tech type but here's a link that may help http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

At the risk of sounding dumb here, what's a sim card? I've had a very low-end motorolla phone for the last few years on my go-phone plan. Does every phone have a sim card, and are they able to work when you go from one brand of phone to another? Thanks again.
