Hi all,
I am currently using the $30 T-Mobile monthly plan (100 mins, unlimited texts and web) in my T889. The 4G service around here is shaky at best. I got a ATT Net10 sim card and am thinking of moving over to that for the potentially better service. Has anyone had experience using ATT Net10 on this phone and if so, did you have any problems? What were your experiences? The T-Mo plan is great for me the way it is set up, but the service is a damn killer. I also love when talking to T-Mobile reps in their stores/kiosks, they disavow all knowledge that my plan even exists (it's listed right there on their website, much as they try to hide it).
Thanks!

I'm on the verge of ordering a galaxy nexus from Google and Im going to use it through straight talk. Just wondering which sim card I should order. They have an unlocked sim and an att sim. I don't have good T-Mobile coverage. I just want to make sure ill have 3g or hspa+ data with whatever sim I choose.

Seems like everyone is enjoying amazing speeds on t-mobile except, of course, if you're in kansas city...we have shhit speeds. And why would even throw your money to an evil company that is against net neutrality, fair prices and helps the NSA record your calls!?! Just go t-mobile

I would go T-Mobile but they don't even have 3g data where I live. It sucks. I'm in a Bermuda triangle of cell service where my only choice is verizon or Att.

It sounds like you've answered your own question. If AT&T has good service where you live, than go AT&T prepaid. T-Mobile has improved their service in the last 3 years and has expanded. I'm not sure how long it's been since you checked on their coverage in your area, but it may be worth a shot. Great thing about prepaid is, if you don't like what you have, you can go a different route the next month.
Here's a great and informative thread about prepaid and may also have some more options for you to check out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1455014
You could order the Tmobile sim and if it doesn't work out, you can order an ATT sim from them and switch your StraightTalk number over.
This will cost you another $15 though for the 2nd sim.
Does anyone have any experience with simple mobile? Looks to be the same thing as straight talk. Just buy a sim and service plan. I'm assuming they are using AT&T and T-Mobile towers just like straight talk.

Hey I'm thinking about switching to straight talk(atnt) from my current 5gb/100mins $30 t mobile monthly 4g plan.
The reason is because T-Mobile is very slow in my area of Brooklyn and I want to know if anyone can tell me their data speeds in Brooklyn. I have a T-Mobile galaxy s3 which is unlocked.
Thanks

I would find out first if it is even possible to run 4Gfrom a T Mobile phone on the AT&T network. The reason i say this i know they have been unable to even get a connection to 3g to work on AT&T SG3's on the T Mobile network. There is a bounty thread on this here, which the last time i read into it was thought to not even be possible. That would make me wonder if what you are thinking of doing is feasible.
I've been reading around. The T-Mobile galaxy s3 supports atnt hspa+ network. But the atnt version doesn't support the T-Mobile hspa+ network because it runs on a different frequency.

I have an unlocked Galaxy S3 with Straight Talk (AT&T) in Manhattan.. The speeds are downright despicable!! I never get more than 2mb down and 1 up... I just bounce off of remembered wifi's all day with Juice Defender..
I will be getting a T-mobile GS3 out of contract soon, and I was hoping someone could recommend a carrier. I would like to go with a cheap prepaid plan, and I don't use that much data.
Can anyone recommend a good prepaid carrier for a non-LTE phone? What (no-contract) carrier do you use?
T-Mobile would be your best bet. Followed by Simple Mobile.

T-mobile has $30 a prepaid plan with 100 minutes, unlimited text, and 5GB data. If you are worry about the low minutes, you can combine it with Google Voice.
Curious.
I wanna say I prepay your mom for service so bad.

I'm using Ptel mobile $50 plan on an S3 flashed with tmokeiths mod. I'm getting speeds of 6mbps download in the Inland Empire California.
Using straight talk. Started off with good speed about 5-6mbps dl and 2-3 upload. Now it's been slowing down every month to .5-1 Mbps DL and under 1Mbps upload. Getting really annoying

I'm using net10 with AT&T Galaxy SIII, and I have to say I am very impressed. The data speeds are faster than they ever were with my Sprint service. It baffles me. If anyone needs a good hookup on prepaid service cards as well, I sell tmobile, straight talk, virgin mobile, Verizon, AT&T, and net 10 all at major discounts.

Does MMS work for you on via Net10? What rom? MY brother is using a AT&T S3 with Net10 t-mobile sim, and he can't get MMS to work for the life of him. He has tinkered with APN settings, rom's, modem's, etc...
Does everyone have to shave the sim cards down? Or can you get microsims for the prepaid carriers?

Net10 came with a total of 3 sim cards, two were att one being a micro and the other tmobile standard sim

So your saying I should go with tmobile prepaid?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I go over 2gb because I use my note 2 as a hotspot while im driving with my kids so that they can use their ipods to stream netflix or go on youtube. Im on the $30 plan with 5gb and 100 min. The most I've used so far is about 4.3gb of data and my min are always under 70 min. I do more texting than talk so im ok with this plan at this price.

When you travel you going to use lots more data on cellular than you normally do. 2gb of data not enough.

I live out in the sticks (Oklahoma), but in my experience T-Mobile has terrible coverage along even the major interstates. I might suggest ATT if you're going to be driving quite a bit.
I don't think you can get an ATT Straight talk card anymore?

Get either AT&T or an MVNO who uses AT&T's network
Hello,
My advice to you since you are travelling is to either use AT&T, AT&T Go Phone, an MVNO (H20, Net 10 {cousin of straight talk}) Now a few months ago I would have told you without a doubt to get straight talk but like inconceeeivable brought up, Straight Talk no longer sells sim cards that work on AT&T's network directly to the public. Now there are people who sell them on ebay but because they are rare now some people are charging a ton of money now (between 30 and 50 dollars per SIM when it would never go above 15 directly from the company itself) so I would buy from another mvno. If you search "mvno" on Wikipedia you'll find that there are plenty of different MVNO's that use AT&T's (& T-Mobile) network so if you search hard enough you'll have plenty of choices.
T-Mobile is improving faster now and is being aggressive but they have ways to go before they reach reliability status with AT&T.
Sooner than later Net 10 AT&T sims will be no longer (Net 10, straightalk, simplemobile, & tracfone are all owned by the same corporation) so I suggest you go get one. Their service is 50 a month. There is also Red Pocket & H20 but both of these options will run you 60 a month for unlimited talk, text, & web browsing (no streaming of movies and music)
I hope I was able to help.
I have the t mobile prepaid plan with the $30 100min/unlimited everything else plan. I love the pricing and this is truly a plan that fits my needs but damn I wish the service was better. They have always been great with me from a customer service perspective. Net10 on the other hand. ...
