[Q] 4G question

So I had to call T Mobile to get the unlock code for another one of my phones (giving my slide to the gf) and at the end of the conversation the lady told me they were doing this promo and I would get free 4G for one month.
Now I already have the Android data package - shouldn't I already be getting 4G on my G2 and not have to pay even more to *upgrade* to 4G? Or are they throttling my speeds, which I've never heard of and it would be very upsetting if they were.

My sister got 4g for 5 bucks. But when I was ordering my g2 it said the data plan was like 20 bucks. I don't know why that is

They are trying to sell you a USB Dongle for 4G for your laptop. They want you to "add a line" of service for it.

Ok, well that makes sense. There's no reason for me to get that service so it's pointless anyway, got wifi tether

Yah it would be and 4g isn't teqniqly real.......js

I don't know who you heard "4G isn't real" from but I think this image proves different.

consumers vs sprint for no 4g

why get charge for something we don't have !

Do you thing is fear ! tell me whats in you're head

wow some of the trolls got together a paid for a lawyer, if they were so pissed off why use an upgrade and contractually pay an extra ten dollars for use of phone, and go somewhere else
thats whats wrong with society "hey i'll agree to that" "oh wait I dont wanna anymore your evil"

Don't sue for the $10 fee, sue for the ****ty 4g coverage lol.
On Sprint's and Clearwire's website it says I should have full coverage, on Clearwire's it says I should have in-building 4g, yet lately I barely get service 3g or 4g, I'm getting 1x a lot more now.

The document is well written and it does highlight some points, such as, "What is Premium Data?" and the lack of definition by Sprint on such Premium Data.
I haven't looked at all of the references, but it looks like they might have something going on here.

I have also been getting a lot of 1x lately, here in Vegas. Even the new.Mikfroyo 4.6 is showing me 1x. I didn't think sense roms showed anything other than 3g, but Aamikam must've modded it, and I missed the note. Its irritating the crap out of me.

voice roam?

hey guys after years with sprint im giving up my evo3d with unlimited that, which unlimited doesnt matter since i can never use it,lol. anyway, i travel alot for work and cant find any voice roam with this phone, so does it roam off att? thanks

yes sir it does.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

I, like you, came from Sprint and had the same question. T-mobile doesn't have voice roaming agreements like Sprint does with Verizon. Att can only be used in designated roaming areas. This leaves huge holes with zero coverage, even though att has service there.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA

That sucks to find out, i travel working. Is the roam function automatic or does it need to be enabled? I cant find any setting for it other then roam data.

There are other carriers T-Mobile has roaming agreements with, US Cellular among others. I've almost always had service wherever I go (besides mid-state Wyoming). Recently, I've even started getting EDGE/3G on otherwise desolate drives in areas where before I had voice service if I was lucky.

Are you prepaid or postpaid?

I want to know too

US Cellular? They are CDMA. I'm post paid. Check Cross Junction, Virginia on the TMob map. It has perfect ATT service, but I can't make a voice call anywhere on US 522 from Winchester to Berkeley Springs. I'm sure others have examples too...
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA

I recently made a trip from WA to IL and there was zero tmo coverage for the most part. There was att though! Roaming of course... But it was edge most of the way.

Lost phone found now what?

So my sister lost her Sprint Galaxy S II phone a couple weeks ago and got one on insurance. Then this weekend she found it stuck in a blanket in her closet. Is there anything she can do with it? I'm guessing another sprint user couldn't use it now but maybe flash it for a cricket user or something?

Ebay sells for a good price

That phone can no longer be used, once you tell the insurance its lost or stolen its deactivated permanently from what I understand. And since they replaced your phone you have to send in your old phone if it's ever recovered. Imo it is immoral to file a insurance claim in order to profit from a company, just like if you filed a car claim to make money. You haven't done this yet but that's what you are asking how to do.

Regardless of what people say. If you report a lost phone to insurance it does not get blacklisted unless its reported stolen or you directly call Sprint to report it. I lost my og epic and the person who found it called one of my contacts and returned it. My bro uses the phone on his line till this day no problem.. And all he did was call customer service to do an esn swap. Phone was not flagged or anything..

It sounds like you've made your decision. Fraud isn't worth the risk to earn a few extra bucks to me.

If it were me I'd keep it. Extra toy.

+1 everyone. This is fraud. Please keep XDA free of blatant illegal activity. No need to put dirt on this site and make all of XDA look bad.

I hope they track you down and hold you or your sister accountable. People like you are the reason everyone's insurance goes up.

Straight Talk

Can the htc one be used on straight talk? Im seeing they have much lower prices and am thinking about looking into it. Does anyone do it? What are the advantages or disadvantages?

It'd be best to grab a T-Mobile, at&t, or unlocked one tbh. Verizon would be much more of a pain in the butt to get working with straight talk.

Why is that? From what I have read straight talk uses Verizon networks.

http://dealnews.com/features/Lets-Discuss-Is-Walmarts-Straight-Talk-Wireless-Service-Any-Good-/669205.html This article should clear some stuff up for you. Honestly I think T-Mobile's $30/month is the best deal going around, but to each his own.

If you go to the straighttalk site they have a compatibility checker. http://www.byopfinder.com/byopfinder/straighttalk/index.html?fullscreen=true You just put in the phones esn and your zip code. When i put mine in it said it was compatible on either the at&t or t-mobile networks (gsm).

Straighttalk is great untill it gets twords the end of the month. Then it seems like they do some major data throttling. If your not to concerned with data speed, its a great deal. Call wise its excelent, at least in my area. I have an LG Optimus Showtime thru straighttalk from my job, but it is cdma and uses verizons towers.

Thanks I will read up on it. I would love to switch to T-Mobile or some other carrier,problem is I live in a very rural area and Verizon is the only option that has decent coverage out here.
