Yeah no thanks. I like my plan and my bill.

I can see that getting really expensive the way I currently use my phone. I'd go to Boost Mobile if it ever came to prepaid.

yeah 60 bucks for 1GB of data.... wtf?!?! lol id rather do straight talk or metropc.. hell even pages if possible

Clearly it's not for everyone. Its for people who don't need unlimited and are tired of paying $80 a month. My bill went from $80 a month to $25. I use most data at home over wifi. There are many people who don't need unlimited.

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.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
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.

I have a need some advise ?

I dropped my phone outside Walmart the other day and now a day later my vibrate isnt working do I need to take it in or wat i should do ?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Physical damage (done by you dropping it) is not covered under the warranty. Your only choices are to pay the insurance deductible (if you have insurance), or buy another evo on ebay or somewhere.
Dude said it all.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Hey man,
Yes It sucks vibrate doesnt work but it might be easier and cheaper just to live with it till you get an upgrade! Now if you have TEP, you will have to pay the deductible because you broke it yourself, if you are rooted that means unrooting of course! but besides that you really dont have any options.
Thanks guys Im just gonna wait till the ltes come out beside this phone is tuff Cuzco this is like the forth time I've dropped it on concrete.

What did you do the other 3x
If you were on verizon, it would be a simple phone call..
"hi.. my vibrate stopped working.. no clue why.."
"ok sir.. we will have a replacement out to you tomorrow".
Done.

I dunno.. I get 1400 min a month, 10 unlimited min numbers I can call, unlimited text, and truly unlimited data , 2 phones , for 160 a month. My buddy on att has a similar plan. And pays about the same.. its really not that bad. It's not like att is half price or something.
Oh you said sprint.. they have good plans.. but their network could use work. There is no comparison between vzw 4gLTE and sprints WiMAX.

You can't compare the two...
LTE is an evolution of 3g where as wimax is basicly a highspeed broadband wireless network ie your home wifi over the states. Obviously you know which will win but for the price sprint is still better. Last time I was on vzw I paid 250$ month for two phones and the cheapest plan they had now paying that for unlimited for 2 4g phones and 2 other 3g phones.
Done and over...this isn't who is the best wireless carrier this is about "advice" on what steps should be taken to get a phone that was dropped replaced/fixed.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
dude
if there is no physical damage showing their is no need to tell sprint that you dropped the phone, just tell them the vibrate stopped working and see what they can do for you(if you have insurance) or not?!
Its likely hardware, as you are probably aware. You could give it a good shake. My evo stopped working, I took it apart and air cleaned the board and put it back together. I replaced the battery and havent an issue since.

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?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Hate to be that guy but this is a question... but when kenny moves it..
I think he could flash it to an alternative carrier when he cancels it.. unsure of which ones but its possible with a donor phone.

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..........

[Q] Contract terminated

So my Sprint contract got terminated for roaming. It will be effective next month.
I had really bad service where I lived. My signal would sometimes just go dead and would have no data just cellular and 3g 4g speeds were abysmal.. Trying to watch a youtube video or even load a gif HURT.
My question is while I go on about selling my GS3, what are my options for service? Can my phone go on a Sprint month to month service while I can jump ship?
Question for you, did Sprint charge you the ETF or anything like that, like was there any negatives other than service being cut?

Nope. The letter stated no ETF would be applied.
Really, I'm happy. Their service was unusable and I got tired of waiting on promises of better coverage. I think at this point in my area going with an unlocked Nexus 4 on TMobile prepaid is my answer ($50 a month unlimited everything. Speeds are terrific 16mbps+ in my apartment).
Just trying to figure out what can I do while I find a buyer for my phone and jump ship
You could flash to page plus in the mean time which uses Verizon's network. Or activate a cheap phone on your line right now and sell the gs3 now

I know T-Mo prepaid has a $30 unlimited Text and data(throttled after 5GB) with 100 minutes a month. Unless you need the unlimited minutes, I'd say the $30 would be a better deal.
As for selling the phone, I'd say try EBay and Craigslist.

I was looking at TMO before deciding to extend my contract with Sprint and upgrade to the SIII. TMO does have plans that are cheaper which doesn't allow tether (unless you add it on - $15.00/month) or more expensive plans that do allow tether but aren't unlimited. It's all a cluster.

How do you guys feel about this happening...now it really makes the contracts pointless now...just get it all on prepaid

They should make em suffer with wimax.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
They're shifting everyone to LTE - I think - to try and start taking down WiMax in some of these markets. I'll be interested to see if any new devices will be able to use the Clear band anytime soon.
All in all will be an interesting year for Sprint. If the deals go their way they may be in nice shape for the rest of the CY.
Only devices using wimax now are the multi band hotspots and clears routers/hotspots. No new wimax phones are being produced, but older stock maybe rebranded a la the epic touch on boost and vm
I like to break stuff!
I used to work for boost.. To this day customer service sucks... Virgin is the worst though
Even my service provider cricket wireless is becoming 4G. And it started with the wackest phones 4 years ago while sprint. Was claiming they had it . And had better smartphones. Now cricket has the s3. And is going 4G LTE this year. Not even sprint is that Fast

Then again, I had Cricket not too long ago (switched from Cricket to Sprint when I got the Note 2 on opening day) with my EVO 3D and they make you pay for each GB of data per month.
I had 2GB and was paying 60 a month. It sucked when the data speeds slowed.
Think it was an extra ten for another GB.
In actuality, their data is not unlimited.
I called and complained to them stating I thought everything was unlimited and they said, "well, not that."
Lol.

I guess it depends on the plan you have too. I have a family plan with 6 lines on a 1500min everything data account. So I pay $230mo after taxes for 2iphones,my GN2 and 3 dumb phones to get unlimited data, text and the shared minutes. I can't beat that on pre pay yet.

Yes I am authorized for 10 plus lines on my "account". But the limit per "plan" is supposed to be only 5 lines. So you can have 2 plans with 5 lines each, but not 10 on one plan. Unless you open a business plan.
