          Flippy Ok thanks for the info. I just figured they won't be able to afford to refund all their phones, and its not technichally their fault, I guess it doesn't hurt to try. Thankfully I myself have the xp3 which is still approved. I noticed that the sunbeam orchid is not on the list, does that mean that those stopped working with ATT also?

                Techgen I don't think they CAN refund, But I definitely think they SHOULD, based on the fact that they were selling it primarily as an AT&T phone, (as it has issues with all other networks), they were aware of the impending problem when it was released, and told all their customers not to worry and that they won't have an issue, even when AT&T was calling (alarm bells ringing?...) those customers and warning them that the phone won't be supported...

                As for the Sunbeam, for some reason it is the only phone AFAIK that is still working even though its not on the list. They probably just didn't make a fully comprehensive list, and in reality, the Sunbeam is Volte, so it makes sense that it works.

                    Apps4Flip-Admin 1.Open the Google certification page [Login to see the link] in a browser on a PC in one tab , and a converter from hex values to decimal in another tab [Login to see the link]

                    1. Device ID shows the two values we need: Android Device ID and Google Service Framework (GSF). We convert these values to decimal and copy the result from the Decimal Number field. We register the copied number on the google certification page. Both values (Android Device ID and Google Service Framework (GSF)) must be registered.
                    2. We clean the caches of Google play services and play store. We reboot the phone.
                    3. As a result, you get completely working Google services.

                        how can i have google play on the qin phone?

                        Techgen the sunbeam is still working...its a little bit of a mystery why its still going. But the idea is that all phones 3g are off att as well as 4g phones that utilize a 3g system to make calls (like lg wine un220)....this is what i was told by att representative...not exactly sure what that means

                            MXRJR I was told by sunbeam that they were whitelisted by AT&T

                              to the point
                              quality of call = clarity and volume
                              quality sound on its speaker = clarity and volume
                              falls to floor doesn't end up broken phone
                              punkt vs sunbeam ???

                                    Cant say for sure.
                                    But I would give the volume and clarity to sunbeam.
                                    The durability would definitely go to the Punkt.

                                            Overall I would say sunbeam. It has dial search, various input methods, (including an excellent speech-to-text) a dedicated camera key and more.
                                            And Punkt doesn't have a camera....

                                                  6 days later

                                                  Is there a list of phone services that this phone does work with?
