What phone plan you use with Ding?

I am currently a sprint zero user with touch pro2. Just got a htc Dinc from eBay and feel it is much better than tp2. I am seriously thinking about dumping zero and switch to using pageplus prepaid. But before I do this I d like to ask around what plan you guys use? Thanks.

I'm using PPC UTnT. I talk a lot.

I've been using Pageplus prepaid since I got my Dinc 17 months ago. Very happy with them - Verizon network service at a much better price than Verizon.
DInc with CyanogenMod 7.0

PPC TnT1200 for now but thinking about flashing to straight talk. I need more data.

Page+ as well. I usually do the TnT1200 but some months I text a ton so I have to upswitch to the Unlimited.

1200 shared with wife, unlimited data and text as im on an alltel plan still. Get great service everywhere, even in the country.

Holy cow, still on Alltel plan?! VZW made me switch over less than 6 mos after they took over. I told them to take a hike once I saw they weren't changing prices.

We have the unlimited everything plan talk,text,data, but we pay mucho.
Probably won't but any more phones from Verizon for fear of losing our grandfather status. Read somewhere that we will get one round of device upgrades before we are forced onto a tiered plan. Can anyone confirm this?
Yo, I sent this!

Page Plus here as well. You just can't beat the price on the Verizon network

I was just checking out their plans. They're good unless you want to use data, then they're pretty bad. With the amount of data I use, I couldn't use a plan from them.

Wait...I wouldn't invest in anything 4G right now even thought the E4GT is a beast. I would rather have something that will get me on Sprints newest network that is LTE!
I do not know why anyone would buy a 4G phone right now or even sign up with Sprint at this time. The only way I would is if Sprint allowed anyone in doing so a 2 year upgrade price to an LTE phone when released and I do not see them doing that.

Not sure if you are serious or not but if you are the GN has been announced as Sprints first LTE device. No date announced yet but should be 1st half of 2012.

I dont now, but if sprint does in fact get rid of wimax, and our phones are no longer capable of 4g, then they have to drop the premium data add-on, and that would be a change in contract, then they would have to allow you to terminate contract free of charge, then sign up again and get the nexus, or other lte phone for upgrade price....but I would be willing to bet that you could get an upgrade discount before you would have to terminate.

Sprint will support Wimax until end of 2013. Data fee has nothing to do with 4g though, 3g only phones also pay the $10 fee.

Well, it still does not look very promising for LS: http://www.pcworld.com/article/249082/sprint_gives_lightsquared_six_more_weeks_for_fcc_approval.html
There is another article that indicates that Sprint basically 'forgave' LS deadlines, likely because LS's issue is more relevant to the FCC than to LS itself. Until they get the approval they need from the FCC there won't be LTE for sprint users.

Screw the GNex. I love the phone, but, I'm an absurdist at heart....I'm going to wait for the Galaxy Note. I love my ET4G, but, I'd love it to be absurdly large and perhaps a little faster.
4G? Who cares, I barely find a signal now and even if it was LTE I'd barely get a signal for another year or two...
Get what you want, write off Sprint 4G for another year or two...unless you are in one of their pet markets and it means that much to you.

You are wrong. It's a "premium data fee" that is applied to smartphones regardless of whether they're 4G or not.

Interesting... I didn't know that. My mom has the LG Optimus and my sister has the Samsung Transform and neither of them have the $10 fee. Are those phones not considered smart phones then?

They're included, my brother has the optimus and we had to add the premium data to our account. If they had their phones activated before they did it for all smart phones they will be an exception to the fee.

My cousin has a droid 3

But he's tired of paying so much money and wants to come to sprint but I told him to wait because there's no good phones out with a keyboard and its not worth putting a new 2 year contract for a phone from 2010.
Then I remembered he's on verizon lol think it'd be possible to flash it to sprint? Will that be illegal? I mean, he's willing to pay the etf to get out of verizon, its his to do whatever with from that point on right?

whats the point for speed? To see who's faster? Who cares?
As long as you can get your data or info whatever you need like if you need directions or need to hop on the internet and get something whether it be 20 seconds or 45 seconds it doesn't matter.
And if your in a hurry you should have planned ahead, and don't "say well with LTE or faster 3g speeds i don't need to" well that just makes you lazy as hell.
I rather pay 200$ for 3 lines being UNLIMITED versus 250+ on VZW.
And yes were unlimited because the fact its slower but again who cares.
just saying..........

Can't decide.. Gsm GN or CDMA GN?

I may be selling my AT&T One X and giving AT&T the ax. I just have a few questions. Which would be the better Nexus to go with? Sprint or the Google Play GN Unlocked on something like straight talk? I really wanna use Jelly Bean so which phone has the better development and better JB experience?
Can you use Straight Talk or a different MVNO on the Unlocked GN? I'm in the US btw. Upstate NY.

I can't speak for the sprint nexus but the Verizon one has pretty much everything the GSM one does. I have heard some things like mms can be finicky on the sprint version on ported roms though although they may have just been jellybean before the source came out. It all depends on what you want regarding carriers. The phones themselves are pretty much identical and porting roms takes only a matter of minutes for the most part.
The GSM gnex works on pretty much any GSM carrier worldwide including straight talk and t mobile.

From what I have heard, the GSM variant is much more supported with updates and such.

You will be deprived of official OTAs from Google. As Samung and sprint make our updates. I actually plan on ditching sprint... selling my current nexus and getting the next nexus unlocked from Google I hope... and trying T-Mobile. Their starting price for a family plan is 130$ which right now I'm paying 230$ for sprint... and .20mbps of their poop 3G. Hoping to get better signal at least and save some money at the same time. Don't even use 1gb of data over a month so... 2GB isn't bad... and would take occasional throllting than unlimited poop.

Gsm gets updates as soon as Google releases them. CDMA (Verizon) at least...we're still waiting for the official jelly bean and probably will be for a while

From what it sounds like the op will not be running stock. The verizon version had a fully functional jellybean rom within an hour of the build leaking from Google io. I assume the sprint version had one as well. I would make this decision based on what carrier offers better service. The sprint one does have twice the storage though. Straight talk is a good option if your not a really heavy data user. I don't use that much data per month. Roughly around 500mb.

Just go GSM and prepaid if you're interested in keeping the prices the lowest. There's nothing wrong with the GSM model.
Look at the prepaid thread for specific questions and answers. You can use the GSM Nexus on any of the GSM carriers (MVNO or otherwise) in the US.

I'm mostly on WIFI as it is.
I would go with the Sprint version because it's only $99 now but I'm afraid of their data speeds. Plus I think it would be nice to be without a contract for a change.

I don't see why you'd ever consider joining Sprint at this point. Their 3G is atrociously slow and the hilarious part is even T-Mobile has a better coverage footprint nowadays.

If you have good T-Mobile coverage I just recommend you go with the Monthly 4G prepaid plans. They're the same prices as Simple Mobile but you get clear wording on where the throttle points are for data (Simple Mobile isn't so clear on that).

Yea alot my friends want to xfer to boost for their low price plans but wanted a awesome phone. Now with the et4 in the future if roam is not a big deal for a persons cell usage and sprint coverage is good for their needs this is a no brainer.
Heck i pay half for unlimited everything compaired to what i was paying with sprint, not having roaming is no big deal for my cell usage so that is ok.

This kind of makes me sick to my stomach.
This is my first smartphone ever, purchased only months ago.
My 30 day return ended only a few days before the release date of the galaxy s3. Sprint saw me coming.
I paid full price for this phone!
LOL and now boost?
My investment depreciated quick!
(Assuming a price-drop: which we can safely assume)
Ha all in good spirits though, not legitimately upset.

This really grinds my gears...big time ..seems like they care more for there prepaid peeps then there post pay peeps
