[Q]SGS2 4G on simple mobile?

What's up everyone. I might be picking up a used sgs2 4g. I'm currently not under contract with T-Mobile, and was wondering if this phone could be used under simple mobile. I'm kind of enjoying the no contact prices, but not the no contact devices. If it would work under simple, would 3g/4g work? That's all I really care about. Thanks!

From what I've heard T-Mobile's 3g and 4g should work on Simple Mobile because T-Mobile and Simple Mobile shares the same radio bands.

Simple mobile rents out Tmobiles network, any Tmobile device will fully work on simple mobile without an unlock. My source is Tmobile, my employer.

Yes, T-Mobile's 3G/4G works on Simple Mobile but you will have to change the APN's to get it to work. Their data is limited to 2GB's tho. After that they throttle you to a snail's pace! It's the only that sucks about Simple Mobile.

Has anyone used the sgs2 on simple mobile? How is the service?

Phone rocks!
Love your work!

I have used simple mobile for over five months and have gone over 2gb each month and only got throttled once. The data is unlimited, they only throttle if u use a lot of bandwidth.

Thanks for the reply. Did you buy the T989 from a t-mobil corporate store and then just use a simple sim & apn settings? This is what I am thinking of doing.

I got it for 10 hours then i returned it, screen and camera was better with optimus v, so i bought SG2 and will never never go back. Monthly4g $30 plan is good if you don't use more than 100 minutes a month.

Any specific reason why you want to be stuck on Sprint with those 3G speeds? Unless you live in Texas (only 4G LTE out) I don't know why you'd want to go with Sprint over GSM + Prepaid plan.

Same argument applies to Verizon. But at least they have good service.

You couldn't pay me to go back to Sprint.

I'm not going for that horrible CDMA speeds even if they pay me...bad deal for someone to be stuck on sprint for 2 years waiting for LTE to come. GSM is the way to go or Verizon if network coverage and LTE is important.

I already have a pre2 gsm lol
Plus im still hoping sprint nv will improve everything.......
Nonetheless unlimited cant be beat so far ive used 18gb

Sprint won't be getting better anytime soon. Don't buy a phone for what you think it'll be. Buy a phone for what it is now...
I don't know how you're using 18GB a month, Sprint's speeds are atrociously slow.

Its on 3g and I get about 250KB/s so I have been netflixing/hulu/HBO go/xfinity play/crackle alot here
Honestly enough for me on a phone no need for 2MB/s so there lte here will be only a bonus. Other areas I agree too so slow hopefully lte there will help. Plus unlimited is unlimited no matter what.
Either the tower has been upgraded recently or hardly any sprint users here the latter is impossible since I know so many have sprint here.
Plus been downloading roms like mad

Wow

I bought a gn2 unlocked off craigslist for $450.00 cash.
Purchased a solavei wireless sim card.
60 bucks a month no throttle after any amount of data used.
Great coverage averaged 14 mbps down. Hmm with speeds like these hard to see how sprint stays with these guys.
For the first time in years I have been thinking of bouncing. From sprint to another Carrier . The blazing data speeds have me mezmerized. Solavei rides on tmobiles network. But at that price it may be worth a switch.
Bought the 2nd gn2 for a work phone. Gonna wait and see if sprint builds out the lte network in my area. But it's sad when I go back to my sprint gn2 and speeds won't pay 512 kbps on average.

I did the post just for you.
Honestly your best rebuttal would have been not to post.
Wasnt about how crappy sprints 3g is. But more about how fast tmobiles network is.
Been a sprint customer 15 years nothing new to me.
Hopefully the softbank acquisition helps Fix that.
And the post is phone related its a phone forum.

HSUPA+ compared to EVDO lol. If HDUPA+ on tmobile was always 14-15mbs download then they would have no need to roll out LTE. Thing is HSUPA+ cant maintain that speed.
Uh... nvm I am not going to explain... congrats on your unlimited highspeed data through tmobile.

HSPA+ ? Trust me even still in the dfw areas it's good averages 6 to 15Mbps. They don't need to roll out lte but normal consumers don't understand differences between 4g technology. And t mobile is truly using 3g but when pushed to its ultimate limits it hits 4g like speeds. But they don't people that obviously.but that's why gsm is so much better than cdma and other stuff too lol

Is Tmobile still "unlimited" - 5-10GBs then throttled to hell or is it like Sprint's unlimited?

I have tmobile and one of their major slogans sort of is "the only truly unlimited data plan". Ive used like 30 gigs of data the month I have owned my note 2 and have never been throttled. Usually get around 27mb 19 down. I notice no change in speed.

No they have a plan that's 5 and 10Gb with hotspot that's throttled but if you get the unlimited 4g plan it's cheaper and better setting how we can all get hotspot for free.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

If Sprint were to release EvDo RevB or even RevC, it'd pull speeds of up to 30mbps, too. Problem is, lte becoming the new standard, it'll evolve the fastest and its cost efficient for Sprint in the long run (also cost efficient for any carrier.) This is why everyone's going to lte.

I'll end up selling the tmo note 2 sooner or later. I am really looking forward to Sprints new owners making major changes. Hopefully we. Get 1 year. Upgrades back. That kept me on sprint
Despite slow data and the plans $$$

Actually, I think softbank is a CDMA Carrier. I could be wrong though.

GSM certainly has its advantages, that's why I was with T-mobile previously. The HSPA is getting pretty fast at it's peak, but there are so many times when you don't get those numbers if you are in a heavily used area.
Having said that, I switched to Sprint because they are implementing the next wave of GSM (READ: LTE-A) before T-mobile will be finished with their GSM network (Read: HSPA+42)

I'll never understand why companies do this (own several different brands). All it does is decrease the effectiveness of your marketing. Why does GM need to sell 20 different midsize vehicles all under different brands? Why does sprint need Virgin and Boost.

Having different brands can be easier than trying to explain the differences between your products. For instance, Sprint's offerings have features like roaming, nights and weekends, mobile to mobile, LTE, etc, while Virgin Mobile doesn't. It's probably less confusing for the average consumer to view two brands than to have Sprint explain, "This is a 300 minute plan, but it's not the same as these other plans because it's missing these features." Instead, Sprint gets to market VM as a full service provider to people who don't know what they're missing.

I've ihad left since September of last year and to be completely honest I would take a decent hspa network over it as long as it had the coverage. Sprints lte network is great when you get it but its spotty at best. I'm more than willing to wait for them to finish the roll out. But network vision is completed in my town and 3g is still very slow. Saying the lgog has a better camera is not very true they both are sub par at best

If network vision is complete in your town, then 3G wouldn't be slow and 4G wouldn't be spotty, you'd have the same coverage as 3G. I'm not sure you're talking about the same thing, network vision isn't complete anywhere.
As far as the nexus, tmobile has horrible coverage and all those pre paid services have really sketchy data usage terms for using att's network. Also I have to pay extra to keep my number. I've been extremely satisfied with sprints pricing, service, and unlimited data. While the data is slower than hell network vision has already started here and I'm willing to wait it out.

I'll agree with you on the camera. It's decent but 13mp was to me just a gimmick. After I added the camera tweaks from the dev section the camera quality greatly improved.

The new Nexus almost looks the same as my GNex. I really didn't feel the difference on the phone. This one I saw a huge difference. Besides I love the fact that I have unlimited data. I use about 6GB a month or even more.

It makes me wonder why people make these threads. You couldn't just buy your phone and go on with your life? Gotta try to make us jealous or something?? I don't get it. Were clearly not jealous since the inferior model of this phone was purchased tho so it seems pointless.....

More MP =/= better camera. A 5MP DSLR will always take better pictures than a 13MP camera phone. If the camera on the LGOG was 8MP the pictures wouldn't look much worse.
