Q. If I insert my AT&T sim card into the Samsung galaxy, will i be able to make calls, send texts, etc from my number? My phone is broken and I really want a tablet, so i figured this would be a good compromise.
A. No the samsung Galaxy Tab is not a cell phone. You can't make and receive calls on this device. However thare are apps that will make the device receive and make calls such as Google Voice, Textfree that will give you a phone number so you can use this tablet to make calls.
From what I notice the Samsung Galaxy Tab is only available for Verizon and Sprint. Both Verizon and Sprint use CDMA network and does not use any sim card. So on the Galaxy Tab, it does not have a sim card holder inside. So with A T&T you need GSM network and a sim card. So The Samsung Galaxy Tab will not be work with your sim card.

Samsung galaxy s4 vs HTC one?
Q. Which is best? Why? Thanks!
A. I litterally posted this exact same question about 10 minutes ago haha. Anyways, here is my opinion:
I have been doing research for deciding on phones, and i too came down to having to pick between these two phones. First off I just want to say that whichever you choose, you should be happy. Both are great phones and are worth the money.
HTC One:
The One is HTC's last hope after continuous failures with their smartphones. But i can say, this time they got it right. The One is a beast of a phone. It packs a nearly identical processor to the Galaxy S4, but for some reason it seems to out perform the S4 in some ways. screen to screen transitions are flawless and smooth, and opening apps and multi-tasking is very fast. It has a screen that is also extremely similar in size to the S4, so you wont be losing much screen size-wise with whichever you get. The One also has a better display in my opinion. It has a similar pixel density, but the set back glass and the different screen make it easier to see in bright situations or daylight. Buttion layout can be tricky, and also a but frustrating, but in time an be over come and gotten used to. The most outstanding feature of the HTC One is its "boom sound" speakers. These speakers are absolutely massive. With two of them gracing the front of the One on top and bottom, it isn't the loudest phone, but it sure produces the clearest sound. Also, the HTC One has a much more premium feel in your hands than the S4. It has an all aluminum constructed body, which majorly increases its durability. the downside to this is a slight reduction in reception.The aluminum body blocks some of the receivers and antennas, and reduces its ability to get service in spotty areas. But i feel it is a worthy trade off for its tank-like build. This premium construction also is more pleasing in the hand, with a slightly rounded back to fit in your palm better. If you cant decide which to get, go to your AT&T store and hold each phone. The difference in holding comfort should decide for you!
Galaxy S4:
time to give credit where it is deserved. The S4 is by no means to be left out of a smart phone conversation. Samsung did good with this one. It packs a blisteringly fast processor that may falter here and there with screen transitions, but beats the HTC One ever so slightly when it comes to loading web pages. Screen resolution is great, as expected on a 1080p smartphone. The Super AMOLED screen is incredible in its crisp display, and stacks very evenly against that of the retina display oin the iphone and the display of the HTC One. however it can be difficult to see in bright conditions, and is the oe draw back for the AMOLEd screen. The Galaxy S4 also has a better battery life. It has a larger battery and supports all day battery life under moderate to heavy useage. this is not saying that the HTC One doesn't do this too. it does. but the larger battery of the S4 gives it that slight edge over the One. Button layout is also more user friendly. The buttons are easier to reach, are easier to feel in your pockets, and more responsive as well as having better placement. The S4 also feels extremely light for its size. the phone at first glance may appear to be a brick, but its ultra-slim design makes it very light. However, this weight reduction comes at a cost. the all plastic construction of the S4 is flexible and doesn't feel very sturdy in the hands of the holder. It feels kind of toy like, and you are afraid to hold it with much of a grip for fear of snapping it. The S4 also seems like more of an S3S than an entirely new phone. it is very similar to the S3 in many ways, and can also be viewed as a downsized Note II. But i assure you, it is an entity of its own kind. Its is a wonderfull phone that scores incredible benchmarks on all scales, and in many ways will surely live up to the legacy left by the S3.
I could go into spec detail but that stuff is no fun to type, so I'll just stick with an opinion over view. I would suggest also looking into reviews on good tech websites such as www.theverge.com and www.androidauthority.com . All are good places to provide specs and write ups to affirm whichever direction you go. And with whatever phone you chose, I can assure you will be happy. Both are wll worth the money and will last a good time. Good luck!
Samsung Galaxy S3 manufacture warranty?
Q. Ok so I have a gs3 obviously, for t mobile. Anyway, my dad recently started up his own plan, but didn't wanna pay for a phone. So I gave him my old gs2 and bought the gs3 under his account cause I'd be able to make payments. But recently I've had a problem with it and I want to send it in and get a replacement. I have insurance on my plan, and the phone is only a month old. Does it matter whose plan the phone is under in order to get the replacement? I mean I don't think the insurance would have anything to do with it since it's still under the manufacture warranty right? I guess what I'm asking is how do I go about getting a new one? If I call t mobile and they see I didn't purchase the phone of of my account does that ultimately void all warrantys? That would really suck given I am paying full price for the phone as well. Thanks for any answers and please let me know if you'd like me to elaborate a bit more on the situation.
By the way, the problem with the phone is it keeps saying "headphones connected" even though it's not. So it doesn't let me hear anything unless they are connected.
Well I do have my own account under my name. But the phone is being purchased under his name.
A. Of the account is NOT in your name, t mobile wont talk to you. They will want to talk to the account holder.
So your dad will have to ring them up and explain the information and ask them to look at it and fix it. Might be good to ask for a temp replacement phone while it is away.
As far as t mobile are aware, the phone isn't yours. It's your dads. It's on his account. In his name. So his property.
