I wish it was that simple. I have the Epic. I bought my mother the Moment (she wanted that one) and I have the Sprint USB wireless internet. Well, my mother gets NO reception at home so I called to get a free Airave which many posted they have done. They told me I had to add another line and pay upfront $200. Can someone post exactly how they got the Airave for free? I pay for 3 lines plus TEP on both phones and $30 For Hotspot. Its rediculous the my mother has to heave her house to make an effen call. Thanks for any feedback

Get to the retentions dept, they'll give you one in a heartbeat for free.
so retention center is the way to go??
I just told them I am paying too much for my plan to have no service in my house. You need to have enough credit to get an additional line. It costs like a dollar and something for extra taxes a month but that is it. If you don't have good enough credit they will charge you a deposit or something. If you don't get it right away ask for a supervisor.
Maybe my experience will help you out. I called about the Airave and was told the same as you, that I would have to buy it for $200. I called back and talked to someone in technical assistance who then passed me on to retentions. They offered me the free Airave instantly. It was very easy to get once I explained the problem to them.
I have had some definite issues though with the airave. It constantly drops calls while I am using it. It does do a good job at boosting signal though. If you don't have a higher download speed through your internet provider though I believe it wont work as well and this may be the reason that i am getting dropped calls.
Anyways, try retentions and see what they can do for you.
Call 877-775-4886 and tell them you get no signal in your house on any of your phones, not just the one. This is a direct number too, no waiting or menus involved.
Thanks for all of the feedback guys. Its definately appreciated!

It literally was a 10 min call for me. Just complained about having a poor signal at home, didn't need a supervisor or retentions. Just be nice with the reps, they'll get you there.

I just stated "nicely" (that is KEY!) that I hardly get any bars, ie 0 to 1 bars in my house. Not only that, but I have a small home and it is a rambler only 2 floors - my office is downstairs, my wifes office is upstairs - when I go upstairs I loss signal especially when I walk to the other end of thouse in the upper level.
So I actually have two Airaves - one upper level on one side of the house where my wifes office is and one in the lower level on the other side of the house. I also have two identical wireless N routers so each of us can have great wifi speeds.
BTW, I didn't pay for either of my Airaves or monthly fees - you can even look at Sprints coverage map where I live and it looks like I should get good signal - but if you zoom in, I live in a fricken doughnut hole - sheez, just my luck!
Also each of my Airaves are boosted to max signal - default is for a 5,000 sq ft house - mine are boosted to cover an 8,000 sq ft house.
My cell signal and wifi truly sucks in my home.
anyone have this phone with Tmobile in Southern California in the SGV or Inland empire area?
hows the service , call quality , internet speeds
I'm in the Ventura area, calls are good but data is spotty. Best I have gotten in speed is 8Mbps. I only tried it for a month and then switched back to ATT.

i currently have a Sprint epic touch (sgs2) and when im in the 626 area i have good data speeds since there is wimax there but when i come back to the IE its very slow. Thats why i want to switch but i want something reliable and good speeds hate wanting to check something online and sometimes its so slow that ill make back to the office before i am able to find out on my phone....
Many people have told me to stay away from t-mobile cause bad service slow speeds but a friend came over with a my touch htc phone and slowest speed he was getting was 3mb in the same area i was getting KB's

Great choice.
I just left Sprint last week and joined T-Mobile. Speeds are faster everywhere that I've traveled to. Only spot that I was having trouble with was around Staples Center.
I'm in the OC for the most part though, no troubles. Even in my work office I get fast speeds. Sprint just pissed me off with the slow 3G lol.
I left Sprint Sero back in May and have not looked back, my worst day on TMobile was way ahead of my best day on Sprint. Sadly the $30/month plan did not cut it for me so I moved on. I still don't regret going prepaid.
I live in the san fernando valley, I work in SGV, Alhambra, Montebello, OC and Irvine.
I get a good 10mbs-20mbs

hey another question i have is Tmobile doesnt do subsidized phones anymore right?
so if the price is advertised as $300 but full phone price is say $500.. do you
1) pay the $300 upfront and then pay the remaining balance little bit by lil bit every month apart from your bill?
2) just pay the $300 and thats it? (well obviously on both you still have to pay the taxes of the phone gotta love the CA tax.)
I ask cause the sales rep kind of confuse me and some will tell you whatever they need to say in order to make the sale

Number 1 is correct and you will pay $20 per month (on top of your bill), until is all paid off.
However, number 2 should also be available with some different (than mine) contracts.

I've use my phone all the time inside an older fort-like building(my job) and haven't had an issue yet with calls dropping out or bad reception but I've only had the service for 2 weeks.

knew it wasnt all beautiful things with tmobile but for the most part not bad .
Ok now that the S4 , htc one are out.. I think im going with the Note 2 i can get them both out of contract but AT&T versions for $300 or maybe less , tried looking for the Tmobile version and there still in the $400 area.. Ive read that you could just unlock it and use the ATT version on Tmobile that is true correct?
If anyone else wants to reply with how their service is with Tmobile in the Southern CAL area please do..
My concerns are still Voice reception, clarity of call, and decent data connection dont need high speed just a good 1.5mb down ( i know thats not high but compared to sprint its lightning fast)
I use my phone for work so i use it heavily so have to have a reliable connection

I honestly don't want either to take over. But if I had to choose, I'd choose dish.
With me just coming from Sprint I have this to say
You would have to shoot me in the face to get me to ever give another penny to Sprint. Their 3g data speeds are horrific in most places (even in places that have network vision dine, it's just "meh" speed, still sub par) I could never get above a 20 kb/s download rate. Not to mention how much more expensive they are with their plans (when I was with then, I had the cheapest available, 450 min and unlimited everything else for 69.99 a month.) Back in the day, Sprint could compete, but they let their towers become dated and do to little to late when they finally do decide to do something about it. Not to mention hour they boned their wimax phone buyers.

Rather it be Dish than Sprint. Had a 4g phone since wimax came out... then LTE.... Still no 4g in Savannah. I said goodbye to them when the S4 came out and switched to tmo. Got them to cancel the early termination fee because of the past few years of bad service in the entire Southeast area of GA and SC. Took a week of convincing.
Then Tmo: It was instant "oh this is what 4g is like!" Roommate is still getting 10-100 KILObytes on Sprint, while I'm getting 15-26mb on Tmo. Suck it Sprint.

Seems to me that AT&T tried this not too long ago. The result? Fed Govt said "Nope, not going to happen" AT&T got pissy and walked away.. but not before paying T-Mo a pretty sizeable chunk of cash because the merger didn't go through.
Don't see anyone picking up T-Mo in the near future.

yeah as it was said AT&T tried to buy them out and the US government put a big red flag in that. people (such as myself) are leaving sprint to go with tmo because of the better service and price. plus, not sure if youve seen/heard the commercials but AT&T are trying to stay afloat by copying tmo's not contract deals... oh and to the guy who said something about a tv company buying a cell company.... even though verizon started as a phone company im fairly certain that their tv/internet service is pretty amazing.

On the other hand Tmo can take over Sprint and put that company out of business once and for all and put their customers out of their misery.
Sprint will be a lot better in a year. They have cash now because of Softbank. I was surprised they came out with the plans they did just recently but hopefully they lower them so that should help all of us.

I'd have little problem with Dish, it could end up benefiting both sides. Still, T-Mobile stands to benefit less from a takeover now than they would have in the past. On the upswing as a carrier, or so it seems.
US wants 4 "major" carriers so unlikely tmo and sprint would merge anymore than tmo and at&t merger was approved by feds.
As for Dish (puke) they can't hardly run tv without being aluminum siding/used car salesmen. They'd be worse than the old nextel (which is where sprint got 95% of their terrible rape, pillage and burn customer service habits).
Full disclosure: was sprint customer almost 10 years (yes im a suicidal masochist lol) before givi g up in disgust & going to att for 3 and now on tmo.
TBH, only went with tmo because of pretty seamless wifi calling (no carrier signal works worth a dam at my house)

The only carrier that the nexus 5 won't work for is Verizon. The phone has a cdma radio which works with sprint, and the gsm will work with att as well as T-Mobile. Most discount carriers resell sprint or att service. So, unless your only choice for carrier is Verizon, I don't see why you must return the phone.

Trust me, I've explored all options. If my house was about 100 meters north I'd have service (right behind a big hill), but Verizon is the only carrier where I get a steady signal.
There are alternatives. While at home you could go on Wi-Fi and use Line2 . you could use sprint or att and a cellular extender. When I am home I just forward my calls to my line 2 number and problem solved.

I can empathize with you, unfortunately the groove ip solution is not a longterm viable solution. As was stated sometime around the release of 4.4 it was mentioned that in may of 2014 applications like groove ip will cease to function due to changes that will be carried out by google. The devs of groove have mentioned this as well. I'd urge you to take it up with your carrier, if you are convincing enough you should be able to get them to install a network range extender especially if your residence is within their network coverage area.
Just a friendly fyi
- Cheers
Line 2 is better then the groove solution and won't stop working.

It means sending messages and receiving calls over 4g, completely getting rid of the cdma radio in the phone.
Last I heard phone calls was handled over 1x. Anyways until they have lte coverage coast to coast including all of Alaska and Hawaii. They can't get rid of cdma network

That would be very nice. But they have to get LTE everywhere first.
I'm waiting on the rollout of aws band 4, and the wcdma bands 1700 and 2100 will be used
Is this the same as the advanced LTE they are rolling out in some cities? I heard the M7 won't be capable of accessing that.
Can't see them getting rid of CDMA and 1x. As that would screw over a lot of people with dumb phones.

If you guys are looking for AWS, then you're in a perfect position. I just got a free m8 because Verizon has a (secretive) promotion currently underway to upgrade people to AWS-compatible phones. I was notified of this by my company's enterprise verizon rep. I wasnt going to be eligible for an upgrade until August 2015, but under this promotion, I got automatic early upgrade eligibility, a $199 discount, and a waived $30 upgrade fee. I literally got a free m8 yesterday because of this.
I am NOT trying to troll anyone. I know it sounds too good to be true... but it's not. Give it a shot. It has to be a corporate-owned Verizon store, and you have to be in a AWS market.

Still 2 year contract?
I didn't get to "keep" unlimited data. I sold my soul a couple years ago and gave up unlimited data for a free galaxy nexus. Although it's not a problem for me, I have wifi everywhere I go, and my work (im the IT Manager at my company) provides me with a AWS mifi card when I travel.
And yes, I basically just reset the 2 year contract early - I'm now in for another 2 years with VZW. Again, not an issue for me because there's really no other provider in the US that I'd rather have. Verizon's 4g coverage is just too good - 2 years ago I went to Tahoe and I was getting 4g reception on 10k foot peaks while skiing...

I didn't get to "keep" unlimited data. I sold my soul a couple years ago and gave up unlimited data for a free galaxy nexus. Although it's not a problem for me, I have wifi everywhere I go, and my work (im the IT Manager at my company) provides me with a AWS mifi card when I travel.
And yes, I basically just reset the 2 year contract early - I'm now in for another 2 years with VZW. Again, not an issue for me because there's really no other provider in the US that I'd rather have.

I'm in an XLTE area so I might give this a try.

Did they have a name for this promotion or anything? Online chat doesn't seem to know anything...that's not very surprising though haha.

My enterprise vzw rep said that the promotion is not being advertised and not to be fended off by store staff stating they don't know about it. For me it was easy because I dropped his name and the store manager knew him and got everything squared away for me. It wasn't just a hookup though it is a real promo. I'll see if I can stop by the store tomorrow on my lunch break and get the promo code to share with everyone.

That would be very much appreciated! I'm locked in until 2015 as well so I'd love to take advantage of this. I'll give my store a shout in the morning to see if I have any luck.

Yeah, I'm trying to avoid contracts like the plague.

Sorry, I've been swamped all day at work. I did however send brholt6 all of the information I had, and he said he'd be checking with his local store at some point today. If he doesn't have any results for us today I can try to go tomorrow.
