It's rather odd as i'm got 4 phones currently on SO (Blackberries and clone Smartphones) and they pick up Speakout immediately and setting up APN (for data) a breeze.. But this is the first time i've had a Samsung phone.

The Galaxy S4 was formerly locked to Telus which i had unlocked. I wanted to root it but for the life of me could not get the damned thing to root..I tried everything...

I would have used it for data anyhow since i was adding it to Dev Phone linup so adjusting the APN would have been moot.

Any other S4 users out there who had problems ?

If you don't want data, just ignore setting up an APN. You simply want a plain old 2g connection so you can talk.

In any case, it seems strange to me. Normally, you just pop in the sim and it connects. No settings required.

Multimedia message port: 80

The Speakout network does pop up now after resetting the phone but won't register.
Can anybody please confirm that the settings above are the current ones ?

Create a new one or modify an existing one and point it to rogers-core-appl1.apn.

I bought myself a unlocked Galaxy S4 to play with and i tried to use one of my backup (active)
SO SIM cards in it and can't get it to work.

In network mode i tried to use both LTE/WCDMA/GSM & WCDMA/GSM
and in the Network operators there was a ROGERS entry and 2 ROGERS-EXT entries
all attempts to connect to all three failed.

Is there something im missing ? Never had this problem on any of my Blackberries or Clone Smartphones.

Any assistance would be greatly appreated. :)

###

Out of curiousity i pulled up the networks on one of my clone android smartphones
and it had completely different networks and had speakout listed:

Speakout 2G (I thought it's been 3g for years)
Telus 3G
Bell 3G
Wind 3G

The Galaxy S4 can't pick up SO's 2G network ?
