Unlocked GSM GNexus w/ a minute only plan?

So I have wifi available at home and at work, and my wife owns a wifi hotspot. I dont need data for my phone.
Would one of net10's minutes only option work for the GNexus?

Anyone have any idea about the minutes?

Anything would work on an unlocked nexus

I talked w/ a Net-10 CSR and was told the same thing today. Shucks!

Prepaid plans with unlimited minutes, like the Straight Talk $45 plan, are an amazing deal and you still get data. You don't need to gimp yourself with a minute-only plan.

http://puretalkusa.com/ I used this with my G2x after my contract was expired
10$ a month....if you go over the minutes then it goes up to the next tier
Get the sim card and they give ya extra minutes too (instead of the free phone)

T-Mobile 30 dollar plan for gs3???

I have a Samsung galaxy s 3 no contract from T-Mobile, but now want a plan with them. I see that they have the 30 dollar a month 5gb unlimited data unlimited text and 100min of talk. Only problem is that its for " New tmobile.com orders or Walmart orders" only. Is there a way to still get the plan?

I ordered a sim from T-Mobile.com and when I received it, I had to cut it down to a microsim, then activated it on a new account with the $30 plan. Works great.

New plan just means you will have to get a new number.

So I will have to get a new sim card? I don't mind getting a new number, as long as I can get this awesome plan.

Yes you need to order a new sim card online.

You can get a sim card for free from a tmobile store if you ask nicely and BS a good reason for needing it. Then just go to tmo prepaid website and select the plan it's pretty easy to find

You need an activation code along with the sim card for the $30 plan to work. Just order from TMobile. It's the easiest way. It's only .99 cents

When you're activating on the T-Mobile website, do you enter the Samsung Galaxy's Phone serial number (IMEI)? Or do you enter a "dumbphone's" IMEI instead?

Thank you so much for your fast reply. I have one more question. T-Mobile asks for a Activation Code found in the activation booklet provided with your T-Mobile No Annual Contract phone. What do I enter for that?

Exactly that. The activation kit from t-mobile contains an activation code. Without it you can't do anything. The codes are unique so even if I can remember what my code was it won't help you.

Okay I see what you guys are saying.
Step 1: order sim card from T-Mobile for 1 dollar
Step 2:Buy the 30 dollar unlimited plan from let's say Walmart.com(they email you the code)
Step 3: Put sim card in phone and activate it and then when asked do I have a refil card number, give them the 30 dollar unlimited plan code I just got.
Step 4: Jump around in excitement of all the money I'm gonna save.
Is this correct?

Don't even bother with Wal-Mart. Once you receive the sim card from T-Mo, you can take care of all of it on T-Mo's website. You don't even need a refill card, only the sim card and activation kit with number.
BTW, you WILL need to cut the sim card so either buy a sim cutter for a few bucks from Amazon or get comfortable with a pair of scissors.

No way to port, not that I know of.
If you don't pay your bill....they just shut off your service, it's pre paid.
No WiFi calling...as it's pre paid.
I had this plan awhile back.

Should get 2yrs contract or buy it off :)

Hello
Guys I was wondering should I get 2yrs contract or buy the phone and use pre-paid. I am already using the pre-paid 2GB plan but I was thinking about unlimated plan but for unlimited plan I have to buy post-paid.
Suggestion would be awesome.:cyclops:

It depends, do you need unlimited data? & prepaid is $60 flat (for the 2GB plan) and contract is usually more for the same plan + tax. I wouldn't get a contract unless I was getting a family plan. If you constantly go over 2GB upgrade to 5GB & if that isn't enough then go for the unlimited plan.

Thanks it totally make sense, 2GB is enough for me for sure cause most of the time I am on wifi.

Why not use straighttalk or simple if you want to use 2gb? Cheaper that's for sure

Impossible because simple mobile uses t mobile towers.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Dollar for dollar you are better off buying outright. You will pay way more in the long run on contract. And yes. Depending on your location,simple and straight talk both use T-Mobile towers.

AT&T Pre-order up....

http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/samsung/galaxy-note-ii-titanium-gray.html#fbid=XZhd3Sse7RX

Just ordered mine but I didn't see an option for white. I didn't want white anyways but worth mentioning.

Scheduled to ship on Nov 6th which is a little faster than what we were told.
Unfortunately I can't seem to pre-order the phone through my corporate portal to AT&T, so I am not sure what to do. Guess I gotta wait until release?

Did you have unlimited data? If so did they let you keep it?

Why is T-Mobile $70 more?

Just pre-ordered through AT&T Premier at no commitment pricing and kept my unlimited data plan.

I didn't see it in the premier store either, so I called to check with them. The guy told me to just order from the regular site and then call when I receive the phone to cancel the "plan" since it's not a contract. He said I would not be charged anything.

I just put my order in for an upgrade. I am on at&t premier with an unlimited data and they let me 'keep my existing plan'. The phone was initially listed at $399.99, but was later updated to include a $100 instant rebate, bringing to $299. I ended up paying $355 after taxes and was notified it would be shipped Nov 6 with free 2 day shipping.

The problem is that if I order through Premier I get $25 back and free activation, so I am trying to figure out how to do it through Premier

This is how I did it: log into my att and then click upgrade and then it took me to the premier store and there it was. Only option for me was no commitment pricing and nothing ever prompted me about my data plan.
Did it this same way with the GSIII.

Preordered!
Just ordered mine also, my contract was up but I still went with the no commitment price and I will keep my unlimited plan... at least until I switch to prepaid.

I don't yet have an account so I get into the Premier store differently I guess

T Mobile is higher because they have cheaper rate plans. So the balance the plans with the cost of the phone. Or so they say.

This past summer, I preordered the GSIII through the premier store and renewed my contract at the same time. I was given the option to keep my 4G LTE unlimited data plan, so I did it. I wonder if they're still offering that now.

I was switching from a 3g unlimited plan and they let me switch to an LTE unlimited plan without issue. It just gives you the option for unlimited like any of the others. Just from what I have heard don't select a non unlimited plan unless you want to lose the unlimited forever.

You people freak out too much.
Of course ATT will let you keep your unlimited (throttled) plan when you upgrade or buy at no commitment pricing. If they didn't it would be all over the Internet.
Chill out!!

+1 for me. Ordered the Titanium Gray. Order says it should arrive on or before 11/9/12. Can't wait. Looks like no earphones in the box but I could be wrong.

Holy crap, I did not upgrade to LTE unlimited. Hopefully at&t CS lets me do that after the fact.

I refreshed the premier store again, and it's there now - just the titanium gray one.
I think I'll keep my original order from the regular store since the premier store does not have the option to ship overnight.

Should I buy from T-Mobile Prepaid website?

I use Straight Talk AT&T at the moment and I bounce prepaid service. I'd like to buy the Samsung Galaxy S III from T-Mobile and get the SIM unlocked via a hack I saw on here but I wasn't sure if you have to activate a prepaid plan with first? Or could I just buy the phone and SIM unlock without repercussions?
I could get the Galaxy S III from Amazon Wireless for cheaper with the AT&T variation. But, it's likely that I'll jump back to a prepaid T-Mobile plan. The lack of DC-HSPA+ would make a difference and that would be tougher to get HSDPA because refarming isn't complete.

Anyone know if they lock down their prepaid phones or if you have to activate a prepaid plan?

No they dont lock down their phones yes it's carrier locked but u can unlock it it'll work.
