I just got a notification that my 635 preorder has shipped.

I think the title should have read: " 635 now live.... ". Thanks for the update though.

What is the advantage of getting this over the Cricket variant? Cricket has the 630 on a $60 plan giving you 5GB of data per month. AT&T gives you 2.5GB data for the same price, only you get LTE. Is the LTE really worth it in this case? I tend to doubt it. Both use the same network.

Cricket devices lack tethering, among things.

I bought the 635 to use on cricket. I'm using the 630 right now since it was only 49$ and its pretty good. The speeds are decent.

I fat fingered the title for to excitement.

Picked mine up at the Microsoft store. Got the green back. This phone is the perfect size. Feels good in my hand.

Microsoft Store near me only had cases and not Nokia color backs.

And there was a Day One update when I turned on the damn thing.

You can also order at the Microsoft store online. Just green, yellow and orange available for $15.

Amazon also has it in-stock if you want to take that route. I ordered one from them since AT&T was forcing me to add a plan.

So I can't use this phone with the sim card from my 1020 I have on contract?

Yes you can as they both take the same sim size you can change the sim cards out yourself.

Good cause I just cracked my screen on my 1020 :angry: and im not due for an upgrade for another 6 months. I'll roll with the 635 until then. Just ordered one from amazon!

But it's a GoPhone isn't it? So if you don't refill next month, the number and sim just become inactive and inoperative. I plan to slip my existing contract sim in and let the new number expire.

You can use your existing ATT sim in a go phone. No reason to sign up for new ATT Service. I interchange between my 1020 and 635 & 925. If you try to buy the phone off the ATT website ATT requires a plan attached --- you can walk into any retail location and buy the phone off the shelf and have the ATT store swap the sim for you. Physical store does not require the purchase of a gophone plan.

Visual voicemail does not work with a cricket SIM installed also the tethering option is not listed in settings.

I don't believe tethering is allowed on Cricket which may explain why it is missing.

I wonder if you can manually configure visual voicemail? You will need to update the voicemail phone number

To change your voicemail number

1.On Start, tap Phone Phone tile > More More icon > Call settings.


2.Tap the Voicemail number box.


3.Tap the Edit voicemail number box, use the keypad to enter a new voicemail number, and then tap Save.

I was able to get tethering working on cricket with my att 1520. That's why I thought I could get the att 635 to work.
