Help APN settings for AT&T

[trophyman]

So--went to AT&T today to get data plan for my Tab 10.1, 32gb. They played with the thing for an hour and told me that the tablet was probably an "overseas" tablet and would not recognize their SIM card.

Called people I got it from (vendor with Amazon in NYC) who assured me that all I needed was the proper APN settings. Been searching net all day and tried about 5 versions with no joy.

Does anybody here have their Tab 10.1 set up with AT&T? AT&T told me that since they don't sell that model they are unsure of settings. I can get the thing to work with WIFI and settings for EDGE.

Any help is appreciated.

it may not have the right bands for 3g if you can get it to work on edge. if it is working working on edge it sounds like you have the right APN settings, just the tablet doesnt have the right bands. thats just a half guess though.

OK---After extensive internet research, turns out that I am not the only one with this problem. I've been back to the AT&T store 3X with 3 different techs working on the tab with no joy! I could get "edge" (2G) and wifi but not 3G.

For others having this problem, here is what U need to do.

TAP SETTINGS THEN:

1. Tap Wireless and network
2. Tap Mobile networks
3. Tap Network mode
4. Tap GSM only to turn off 3G
5. Tap GSM/WCDMA AUTOMATIC to turn on 3G

That's it!
