Hey im currently wanting to switch to siimple mobile because of its cheapness so i was wondering if anyone who is in the us has it with their G2
How is the service?
It'll be the same since simple mobile is a subsidiary of t-mobile.
It operates on the same network, radio frequencies, etc.
The only thing you would have to change when going onto simple mobile would be your apn settings.
Simple Mobile has a rather bad reputation, and what's the point nowadays anyway with the super cheap T-mobile Monthly 4G plans announced in mid-October?
$60/month prepaid no-contract with unlimited everything, and 2GB 4G data allowance before throttling, no overages charges possible, free tethering for your laptop, free mobile hot-spot (miFi) and free wifi calling!! - an UNREAL DEAL
besides, a whole lot of those things (4G, wifi calling, tethering, mobile hot spot) you WOULD NOT be getting with Simple Mobile and their monthly price is only a few bucks less, that is a really bad way to save money!
also, T-mobile has loosened up their requirements on bring your own phone, you can bring pretty much any compatible phone over to this plan, including the G2 which I use on this plan and it's AWESOME

t-mobile doesn't have a 40 unlimited plan on no contract prepaid, and heck yes they throttle big time! - but at least they don't run up your bill with overage charges or cut you off completely like every other carrier does!
Well after your response I decided to not get that plan I'm going to upgrade my current plan to one that has unlimited text and data with 100 minutes of calling
For 30 dollars a month does it sound good?
Good choice, was gonna mention T-Mo's $30 but fellas brought it up first. Simple Mobile sounds and looks good for a byod service the only thing is.. it is false what they claim. Their claimed "3G" speeds are not "3G" speeds though it may be under their "3G" towers. Fastest ever reported are slightly above 120kbps which is not "3G" speeds though, I repeat, it MAY be under their "3G" towers. Another thing is they cut your data off without any notice at their convenience if they notice any "abuse" from the user...imo, the word abuse is nonexistent under the internet dictionary terms and their simply no way to get a hold from them for cs. So yea bro, good choice of plan but IF ONLY they would accept current customers so we could keep our historical phone #'s.

I have Simple Mobile and have the G2, before the switch (was on Tmo) I had lousy signal and lousy data, I have no idea as to why and I am far from complaining. I have GREAT reception and fantastic data. I am one happy person. At home I do use my WIFI and if I am in a hot spot that has wifi available I use that to cut down on my usage. I am a heavy user that can use up to 4g a month. I hope this helps and have a look at simple.

I'm with SimpleMobile right now and they seem to be fine like any other. But their reception can be a little spotty sometimes but for the money you pay, it's worth it. No complains for me.
Hello.
I will business trip on USA about monthly.
I have SGH-T989 and using T989D Telus rom (Because, 989D Telus rom is pure than t-mobile ROM) in my country korea.
So I've questions.
1) I paid "$50 unlimited data service"
This unlimited package include "unlimited talk"
"Unlimited talk" means only allow T-mobile to T-mobile ?
If I call T-mobile to ATT&T or Verizon, and I've no balance, what will occur?
(If another operator to call, and charge money, how much is it? (charge rate))
2) Mobile hotspot
If I use unlimited data plan, and using Smartphone Mobile HotSpot($15),
Can I use unlimited wifi tethering(mobile hotspot)?
3) Change plan in 1~2 days.
Yesterday I paid $50 unlimited plan, but I don't know If I exceed 500MB 4G speed, it will change to 2G speed.( I thought it will change 3G HSDPA)
So I will change plan to $70 unlimited plan on today, Is it possible?
Its just only additional charge $20 ?

I believe the unlimited talk is to any usa carrier.
2. Don't pay for mobile hotspot, it's free with a custom rom or work around. And yes it uses your data plan, so if you have unlimited.. You have unlimited hotspot.. But i don't remember tmobile having true unlimited data anymore... If they do it's very expensive.
3. 500? I thought the $50 plan is 100. But yes it changes to 2g. I don't think you can just add on $20 to change it. You can only change it with the full $70. So wait until next month.
Tips. There are other prepaid choices like simple mobile. I think there's some walmart plan too not sure

I heard that simple mobile provide only 2g service.
But I need 3G speed, becuase I will use notebook when file download.
So I prefer T-Mobile than Simple mobile.

The simple mobile price is very nice, but simple mobile can't support

================================================
Can my Simple Mobile phone be 'tethered' to use as a modem?
No, Simple Mobile does not allow tethering the phone as a modem.
Tags: Modem, Internet
================================================
So I will select T-Mobile 4G monthly plan.
Thanks.
actually it can.
there is nothing to stop you from using it.
- It is my part time job so i know this stuff...
I personally never used my t989 on simple mobile so i can't tell you the 3g speed of it, ask the others.
you can tether with any carrier you want as long as you have DATA access, and your phone will tether it for you. You can root your phone and freeze the apps that prevents you from tethering, use a 3rd party app, or run a custom rom.

I only know that remove tethering apk on at&t or tmobile phone.
Nor some custom roms organize tethering command on init.d or rc.d script.
If i get a simple mobile sim card, i will test about tethering and share information

Hey Guys,
I'm planning on buying the HTC One X International Version and I can't decide on which service provider to go with. I want to find the best provider with the best speeds and a decent "unlimited" data program. Any suggestions??
Definitely Straight Talk. Not unlimited data as advertised, more in the area of 2.5gb per month. People have claimed they've gone through a lot of data a month, but I would keep it reasonable when you're a new customer.
Only true unlimited mvno I can think of is
Boost Mobile, but not an option since they're cdma. Straight Talk has the best coverage and speeds.

I see that you are using Straight Talk how well does your service do with the phone? Good speeds?? Does straight talk connect with AT&Ts Faux(4)G network HSPA?? Sorry for all the questions just want to find the best deal, had verizon but got fed up with the 103/month bill.

Coverage is good, I live outside of major cities. Haven't done a speedtest, but load webpages, email, and other miscellaneous content fast. 3g, no 4g. I'm on WiFi 85% of the time, so this unlimited plan is great. Also to note, Straight Talk has me under AT&T since the coverage was better than T-Mobile in my area.
The T-Mobile prepaid $30 unlimited plan (5gb 4g data - throttled, 100 minutes, unlimited text) really got me interested until I later learned their bands still aren't upgraded for 850/1900 mhz. If you're fine with fast edge speed and mediocre coverage, than that might be of interest to you.

I just use my Verizon WiFi hotspot for data when not at home or work WiFi. Tmo for voice... Let's me use any intl gsm phone without worrying about bands.

Yeah T-Mobile coverage in my area sucks too. I live in a major city so speeds should be relatively good for me, I had ATT as a Go-Phone before and service coverage was awesome around here didn't ever drop a call but didn't have a data plan so can't speak on the speeds. Yeah, when I heard about T-mobile updating to the 890/1900 mhz band it made me think about going to them but I don't think I'd be able to deal with their edge network speeds.
*Bump* Sorry just bumping so its not 3 pages into the forum.
have you checked on the recent at&t prepaid plan? it looks as though you still have to buy a data package on $50 unlimited with a smartphone. i'm on at&t prepaid: i picked the $2/day usage only option and bought a data package, but i've heard the data package portion will not be renewable. i have a mobile hotspot i could fall back on, so it may not be much of an issue for me. but it's something to think about.
i have a suspicion straight talk may be your best bet if you're a heavy user of talk/text as well as data. just check and make sure it runs off the att network where you live.

Yeah, I'm really confused with the new data plans, cause they have the new unlimited for $50 and it doesnt say anything against smart phones using it and now android are not allowed on the pay for what you use plans. As for straight talk here runs both AT&T and Tmobile they give they choice to us.
it does say smartphone users must purchase a data package. there a few people on the boards who say they have been able to fly under the radar and not have to do that with an unlimited plan. i only switched to att prepaid recently, so i wouldn't know for sure, but you should check around the boards to see what user experience is. in any case, my first fallback is my mobile hotspot, then i may eventually move to straight talk if att doesn't let me continue as is. i'm such a minimal user that i don't even want to pay $45/month if i don't have to.

Yeah, thats what I'll most like do is use WiFi most of the time, since straight talk is capped at around 2.5gb I a huge data user but I barely use talk, and text i have upwards of 5,000 a month xD
i wouldn't count on ATT GoPhone. they will probably start checking what phones are used and telling you to update your sim and plan. if you can afford it, 499/year at Straight Talk is the best plan i've seen. i'm waiting for college loans and switching.
Straight Talk may be capped/throttled after 2.5 GB like ATT does, but you are getting everything cheaper. i pay 70 AFTER a 7% discount for 450 mins, 2 GB, and no text/mms. i'm taking 42-45/month to Straight Talk when i get out of contract.

Yeah, thats most likely what I'll end up doing in the long after trying the service out first to see how it runs. Now if only the wireless companies could figure out that they are just hurting themselves by not offering unlimited data to customers xD
Go with ATT pay as you go, or goto a corporate not retail and have them activate a non contract line with 15 non smartphone data, which is the same BTW, and whatever messaging plan, one comes with unlimited any mobile and all this without showing your phone or call 18003310500 and they'll ship out a sim card. The imei is not a registered one with AT&T.
Guaranteed not bsing.

I was able to fly under the radar for my AT&T go prepaid for unlimited data for about 4 months and then one day data was shut off. I was able to put my sim in my V3xx and data works. I guess I can go to straight talk or tmobile now lol

Better plans. I have a $20 5gb Unlimited with Mobile Hotspot. T-Mobile knows how to treat its customers right if you prove you are loyal (I've only been with them for 4 years and I'm a "loyal" customer).

It means first five gigabyte of data is 4 g then after that the rest is unlimited but at slower speeds.
And yes I agree t mobile has way better plan pricing than att
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I like how tmo does data better, throttling speeds rather than charging for overage. Sure, the speeds are slow as heck, but it's better than accidentally paying extra per month.
I don't know much about the att trick, so I can't comment on that. But I do recommend doing a mock plan on tmo's site to get a feel for the price difference you can expect.
Good luck with whatever you choose!

Go with at&t pre pay. I just dumped tmobile after 6 years. There a joke these days. Yes plans are great but customer care is horrible and the call centers are over seas now, talking with people who barely speak English is constant. The only way to talk to American customer service is say "cancel" at the automated system.
Also got different answers to questions every time I called in. Even called a liar about past problems. Tmobile use to be awesome but now I can't stand them.
I pay $50 with att for unlimited everything.
Tmobile just over $80 for unlimited everything.
At&t customer is better. I called in with trouble setting up voice mail. He set me up and even called back 10 minutes later to make sure every thing was working right. Can't beat that lol
Edit: I'm using a Tmobile s3 with at&t. No issues with voice or data and get 4g.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
I'm going to tell you why you're going with Tmobile. Yes, their customer service is over seas but only some of it is. I can tell you what to say in the beginning of the call prompt that will get you right over to the USA based retention department. Tmobile is actually addressing these issues as we speak. Their bringing more call centers back from over seas and are on a mission to get back to that top spot in customer service they held for so many years. It's kind of funny how their customer service was stellar until they started messing with AT& T. I wouldn't be surprised if ATT gave them a list of **** they wanted done before the buy out went through.
Now, onto mobile services. If you get a good signal with both of them then I would side with Tmobile. HSPA+ uses less batter power than LTE. When it comes to overages, I think ATT charges you for every MB used after 5gb and Tmobile just throttles your speeds back to the equivalent of 2G data speeds. I believe Tmobile also has a 10gb plan if you think 5gb won't be enough. In 3 years, I've never came close to going past 5gb and I use my 4G connection quite often. I tether it to my laptop and take let. I play Counterstrike through my data connection sometimes and I used to play WoW through it. I think the most I've ever used was 4600mb. As long as your not using your phone data connection to download multiple torrents a day then you should be fine. When it comes to plan prices, well that's a no brainer. Tmobile definitely has better priced plans and less nick/diming charges.
Lastly, I believe ATT along with Verizon are excluding certain features from the GS3. I just found out about one tonight. Everyone on ATT has reported the absence of a Driving Mode icon within the notification pull down menu. Tmobile does in fact have this driving mode feature. That's the only one I know of at this point but there could be more.

Just an FYI, if you go with TM and would like to take advantage of their future LTE network, the TM version of the S3 will not be compatible as stated HERE.

I got a unlock code from Tmobile before I cancelled service. Went to at&t store and then set up my unlimited plan and got the SIM. After that set a apn for at&t and your good to go. Tmobile service in my area is 2 bars max and edge data speed. At&t data has been awesome where I'm at(out in the middle of no where)
You can let people tell you Tmobile is getting better but after 6 years of hearing it I gave up. Tmobile has started there "trying" to make things because they lost top spot for customer service. There gonna do nothing but blow smoke up your *** when there's a problem.
I had problems with roaming on my s3 and was calling in quit a bit. In the end there solution was to tell me that they don't have a roaming deal with at&t in my area. Funny because my old Samsung flip would roam in the same area no problem. After telling them this, he asked me to wait on hold for a few minutes while he looks into something......he transferred me to someone else instead. You go with Tmobile you'll regret it.
3 family members who also were fed up with them followed after I confirmed how much better at&t was.

A prepaid gophone plan. You can find it on there website. When I went in to there store I just told them I wanted the $50 dollar unlimited prepay plan. Unlimited voice, messaging, data. So all I do is buy a at&t $50 prepaid card. Comes to$55.01 with tax. Don't know if they throttle or not but so far things have loaded quickly since I got the plan, and still going strong.

Don't go with the att prepaid plan. I looked into it because it sounded good but the data speed is 3g ... what purpose does a galaxy s3 hspa + 44 mb modem serve on 3g. Instead if your looking for the best bang for your Buck get a value plan for t-mobile ...

I think on att you get hspa+ 3g. I think they meant 4g as in 4g LTE.

Thanks.
Would love to but data and voice signal is pretty bad where I live. I get choppy voice calls and data is non existence inside my house. Of course I really don't need data inside my house but it just shows that signal is not very good.

Which is better? Where I live I get full coverage from both carriers. So what are the advantages of being with T-Mobile?

Better plans. I have a $20 5gb Unlimited with Mobile Hotspot. T-Mobile knows how to treat its customers right if you prove you are loyal (I've only been with them for 4 years and I'm a "loyal" customer).

How much is the Mobile Hotspot?
Another great thing I don't think anyone has mentioned yet is T-Mobile's FREE Wifi Calling. It does not use your plan minutes and you can use it over seas instead of paying roaming charges.

Hello everyone,
I currently have a samsung galaxy s5 rooted specially for the hotspot.
I am thinking of changing my unlimited sprint data plan for any carrier on that would work like sprints unlimited hotspot using a new ONEPLUS3, with no data slowdowns . Any suggestions! Thanks

T mobile is great to me.
Thanks! Is you data plan prepaid? Does your download speed slows down after any over limit?

I'm a long time customer of T-Mobile. I have a 30 dollar unlimited package. Unlimited everything, though I think after 10 or so GBs, it goes to 3g. I think that's how it works. But I've never noticed any slow downs. Probably because I never really reach 10gb. But they still offer unlimited plans I believe. And op3 works great with the carrier. Simple SIM swap and you're ready!
My mother has a 3 or 4gb plan. I think she pays like $15 a month. She's not a big user of her phone, and she has an iPhone 6. She's been a customer as long as me.
So my plan would be extremely cheap if I didn't still owe for my old lg g4 and my htc10. Once those are paid off, my plan will be very inexpensive

Oh, and it's a 2 year contract like pretty much anyone else. You pay monthly.
And Wi-Fi hotspot limit is 6gb I believe on all unlimited plans. I think after 6 it just slows speed. Not positive though on that.
Is there any way to trick the mobile hotspot?
I mean using the modified hotspot so it wont know the difference between the hotspot or the mobile data?
Like Sprints unlimted Data PLan, it doesn't know the diffence.
Most carriers can tell since the user agent of your browser on a PC communicates that it's a PC even if traffic is being routed through your phone
Edit: please delete
MetroPCS is the bomb. Works off of T-Mobile and you still get volte. And it's cheaper.

Long time user of Verizon with unlimited grandfathered plan. I left it for OP3. Why? Seems to me since I buy my phones and only like the unlock able types Verizon will never get off the CDMA network and globally GSM seems to be the standard. So I left VZW for Sprint.
I am in the US and the performance and coverage has been just as good. I do have a TMobile as a second sim for home phone which is off most time....but I find that TMobile is weaker in county and has most spoty area for coverage. VZW was excellent for my US travels but so for since just switched ATT is holding fine.
