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 thought they still have tethered plans, but also offer a fully unlimited plans. I may be wrong though.

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.

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?

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.
What will that mean to us? I hope lower plan prices.

At first probably nothing. Eventually who knows. Plan rate drops? Doubtful but always possible. Honestly the value plan with unlimited data is the sickest postpaid plan out there. In my opinion it destroys any thing Verizon att and sprint can offer. I just dropped Verizon for Tmobile and I couldn't be happier.

Not sure if this should be in general, as it is a question. xD
But a month after purchasing my galaxy s 3 and signing a 2 year contract for the unlimited plan, t-mobile decides to make the 30 dollar 5G data unlimited text 100 minute plan to UNLIMITED data. And for me to switch it would cost approx 600 dollars -.-

the $30 plan is not true(when are they ever) unlimited it caps you at 5GB 3g/4g and throttles you to EDGE once you get to 5GB. i've had this plan since the day it was introduced sometime fall of last year. its an ok plan if you dont rely on it as your only internet source or dont need minutes. i use skype and have wifi at home so it works for me. but i do reach the cap more often than not.

(I understand that you're no longer interest in switching since you found that the plan is capped but I'm still curious about this point)

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

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.

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.

Nobody said the classic subsidized plans were eliminated completely. Walmart, Costco, Amazon, Best Buy and other retailers who carry Tmobile phone still have the old plans because retailers get a cut when they lock in customers for two years. But at Tmobile corporate stores and online at tmobile.com, only the new plans are offered. Tmobile is all about choice, which you don't have at Att, Verizon, or Sprint

They didnt get rid of contracts, they just now offer no contract plans.
I got the GS4 no contract and the monthly payment is $50 unlimited everything and $20 if you dont want them to slow down 4G after 500MB/month.
comes out to $70, next line would be $50 and every line after would be $30.
Comes out cheaper than that $79

Because the price without contract is actually better than with contract. Let me crunch the numbers -
With Contract from Costco: $200 for Galaxy S4 + $80/month for unlimited talk/text/2.5GB web = $2,120 over the 2 year contact
Without Contract from T-Mobile.com: $630 for Galaxy S4 + $60/month for unlimited talk/text/2.5GB web = $ 2070 over 2 years period
The economics are even better if you bring a $300 Nexus 4 instead of purchasing a Galaxy S4. And if you are in a family plan, you're talking about over a thousand dollar in savings across multiple lines. BUT the biggest benefit is that after 2 years, you will pay $60/mo off contract no matter which phone you use, whereas under contract you'll still pay $80/mo long after you've technically paid off the subsidy.

Because you pay less when you bring your own phone. If you want contract there is the eip plan where you pay $20 more per month. On other carriers there is no option like this. Bottom line you pay only for service not for the device. In other carriers even if you bring your own device you still pay the same price as others with contract.

Because you dont want to be locked down to one phone for two years. You can pay your first phone off and get another phone. Lets say if there is another nice phone comes out 8 months from now, like the S5. If you have a two year contract, you cant do this.

Exactly, I got tmobile in Oct kf 2011 with the S2. If iI had gone with the classic plan instead of the value plan, i would still be with the S2 today. But luckily I got the value plan and have gone from the S2 to the S3 to the S4 by paying off these phones early
