Depends on where you live. It's great down here in South Texas.

Agreed, depends where you live. Check the coverage map on their site. In developed areas it's solid...in the boons, not so much.

T-Mobile is good in Columbus, Ohio. Left Sprint after 14 years 3 months ago. Bill is cheaper better service and speeds are way better. Just try it out for a week and see for yourself.

T mobile 3G is faster the sprint LTE. I came from sprint myself a year ago and love it. Why lateral move from S4 to S4?

From my experience in the 10 past years sprint has better building penetration and quicker call connection. Though data coverage is obviously going to behave differently on the new lte bands and i dont know about those because i dumped sprint

Tmo is good in la. Check out sensorly site to see if u have any iffy coverage areas.
in Joliet, IL New Lenox, IL Area it aight but where I live it awesome getting almost 20 DL & 10 UL AT&T may have better service else where but hopefully the speeds will be good at my new house

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

From what I've read Straight talk has both T-Mobile and Atnt sims. That maybe true but atnt has better coverage and that is what I'm looking for

What are your scores? Pretty disappointed with Bell speedtest. My highest is in Brampton. Higher then Toronto.
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda premium
Mine are worse on Rogers in Calgary. I get about 15M down and 10M up using Speedtest. It also changes dramatically depending on the site I use for the test so I am not sure this is a very accurate tool to measure LTE performance. I am anxious of the government to open the 700Mhz frequencies because that is when we can expect real speed over the air.

I don't think the 700mhz will help as much with speed as it will help with the coverage. It's pretty spotty with 1700/2100 right now
And here are my fastest speed tests since I got my Note 2. On Ottawa with Bell (6gb promo plan so I can speedtest compulsively without worrying)
From my basement. I am in Aurora, ON with rogers

You can grab Phone Info and set your radio to LTE Only. If you still have data, then you are not 'trippin' and have an LTE connection.
What is your speed though? I'm getting pretty good speeds here in the D.C area.
It was only on for a bit, my speeds were no where near what you got.

One of the guys on the MT4GS board travels to China routinely. He uses China Unicom and gets 3g/4g speeds with his mt4gs. Should work well with the tmo us GN2.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
I use Unicom with TMo Note 2 in China, and it works well.

thanks, do they offer prepaid options over there, and how are they like (in term of data allowance and stuff )
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
You can purchase prepaid cards there, like airports or malls.
Do you know any that offer unlimited data I mean I am going to be taking a lot of pictures and would love to have them sync automatically to my dropbox like I do over here

Just got back from China with note 2....bought a China mobile sim and it worked fine. They offer reasonably priced data plans and service is pretty stable. Don't forget to take advantage of free Wi-Fi there, you can enter the new phone number from China mobile sim to activate it at most places (ie Starbucks)
What cities will you be in?

that's the point of unlocked phones
if China is 5G then your N2 can't see that kind of signal...but it still sees 4G-LTE and below
it just like N7000...international version but work just fine here....yet never sees 4G-LTE on its bar
How well would my s4 work on the AT&T network? Thinking of making the switch only because TMO has very bad coverage @ my place of employment and zero coverage @ my new home. Please do consider that I will apply the appropriate compatible radios/rom(s) for ATT.

Yes.
You have to SIM unlcock it. There is a guide around here somewhere. It's really easy.
Do not switch radios. Let me say that again. Do not flash an AT&T radio. You will not be happy.
OK thanks. I appreciate it. I've subscribed to the sim unlock topic, just need to do it. And I wont be flashing the radio!
