Yes..... and your APN settings depend on what GSM carrier you are using.....Your settings can be provided by your carrier or MVNO

Okay I can't seem to get anything working beyond calling and text on my Lumia 822. I'm using a SIM from a friend's iPhone 4s on AT&T. It will display 3G/H (I don't think AT&T has 4G here yet because they recently took over Alltel's network) but I can never access the internet. I installed the Access Point app and tried all three that were available and nothing changed. I can try adding one based on these settings but they're a little confusing for me. I'm not sure exactly where each setting goes because it doesn't translate perfectly to this app. I think this might be where I first need help. Should EVERY Lumia 822 work on AT&T? Is there any reason a particular device wouldn't work? I figured they're ALL released from Verizon with the same unlocked configuration.

Is there anything else I can do? I REALLY want to use this phone. I like it a lot better than the other Windows Phones with the sharp corners. The Samsung ATIV is currently too expensive. PLEASE HELP! :)

Use the 3G access point. Your phone won't connect to the LTE ones until you call AT&T with the IMEI.

If you want to add an APN all you need to put it in is wap.cingular you don't need a password.

Do you know if the nokia lumia 822 comes unlock on gsm because verizon gives me different answers?

Yes it does all 822s are GSM unlocked. When I got mine I just put my AT&T SIM in and I could immediately make calls and get texts. I had to configure my APN to get data to work. I haven't gotten MMS to work but that doesn't really bug me.

Sorry for Grave digging this thread.. I just need some help.

Im planning to buy a Lumia 822 on ebay or Craigslist and i want to use a Tmobile sim or Lycamobile. i want to use for call and text only for now. but maybe later ill go with prepaid tmobile plan with data.

Is there any version of software i need to look for?
I read that call and text works right away, does the data works to this date?

and tips before buying the lumia 822?

THANKS!

I had the same issue when switching back and forth fro the Focus to a Nokia Lumia 900... Its because of the sim card in my experience. Just go into an AT&T store and get a new sim and have your IMEI number attached to the account. The Sims for iPhone are different than the sims for Android and Windows.

You will have to get a micro sim, but I can honestly say that it works on AT&T. y brother has one and I stuck the micro sim out of my android phone in it to see if it worked. I went back to my focus until I can get a new phone. When switching data you will have to give AT&T your IMEI number to get data.
Really want to get the 822, but stuck on AT&T for another 7 months. I am using a Samsung Focus. Will I need to get AT&T to give me a microsim to use it on 822 or will it take full size sim card? Thanks

Has anyone been able to get MMS to work with an AT&T sim card? I have Nokia Access Point, and either profile I choose (AT&T 3G, LTE1, LTE2) doesn't work

I just got an 822, and want to use it for MetroPCS (T-Mobile). Is there a way to adjust the APN to make sure I can send and receive texts without a problem?
