T-Mobile Note 3 questions - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

So. I'm 99% sure I'm making the Jump from Verizon to T-Mobile. I currently have the note 3 on Verizon. My basic questions are any complaints about service? How's the LTE? And how's the GPS lock on the note 3 on T-Mobile. I have read some have problems.
Man. Can't wait to have an unlocked boot loader haha.....

Depends on your location. I've had verizon, sprint, and now tmo. Honestly if you told me to switch to tmo 5 years ago I'd laugh at you. I'll laugh at you now for not considering it.
No Contracts, jumping is superior to edge, less expensive, almost same speeds as Verizon [I get 35 most of the time] (but who really needs 50mb Down?). And unlocked bootloader

Everything this guy said. If you're in an area where T-Mobile has good reception, you'd be an idiot not to make the switch lol. Better service, better prices, better value (truly unlimited data), etc.

Make the jump NAO!!
They pay your ETF, there service is only getting better and stronger since they bought spectrum from Verizon, tons of roms with very easy root methods(one doesn't even trigger knox if you don't care about flashing roms and kernels) but yes tons and tons of custom rom and kernel options over here on T-Mobile.
You guys do have Beanstown(love his jellybeans rom to death) scrosler(cleanrom) hashcode(insanely smart dev that helped create safestrap(or he did it all by himself apologies if I'm wrong) that I'm sure you'll miss but there's still ways to flash your carriers rom as well as the international n9005 roms with the wifi nfc blue tooth. Zip fix.
I really did my research when considering which carrier I got my note 3 from, hated sprints network on the note2,verizon was too expensive and locked down bootloader unless you bought the dev edition which cost more too, then att was no better with its subpar service and locked down bootloader. To hell with all them!!!,
T-Mobile has always been my favorite cell phone provider and their service has always been great(love their free wifi calling) there always doing their best to throw out great deals to get you to join. I still prefer and always will just buy my phone exchange outright and pay anywhere from 30 dollars a month for unlimited data, text and 100 minutes anytime talk, or if I'm needing it just pay the measly extra 20 for unlimited talk text data and 4g Lte.

Just made the switch from at&t a week ago and could not be happier. Yes the coverage area is not as good but I'm sure it will get better. I work for the railroad and take trips all over Texas and the service is spotty, however for the price and customer service I have received you can't beat it, contract fees were paid easily and the switch was flawless. Loving this note!

Goodbye sprint and Hello Verizon.

To all sprint users thank you for the past few years. But I have left sprint and went to Verizon. I know what some of are thinking but I really got tired of sprints **** service in my area. Talked to customer support on Tuesday and was told if I return my og Evo ( don't really know why they want that ) and my gnexus i could end my contract with no fees. So I did, went to best buy that same day picked up a gnexus for Verizon for ONE DOLLAR, AND MUST SAY IM LOVING THE LTE!!!!! To the Verizon pepes see u in the dev. Section.
Glad I got all 4 of my batteries from sprint the other day lol.

There is no comparison. Congrats.
Thinking of doing the same.
But with Sprint I got 5 smartphones with unlimited "data" for $250.
With Verizon, the cheapest is, I believe, $320 or something. I did it a few days ago.

Call 3 times in a row, each time make sure you choose end sprint service, and I bet you could leave now. Worth a shot.
I spent most of the past weekend uploading music to my play account and then it wouldn't work over sprints crappy service. That was pretty much the last draw for me. I just explained to her I could not utilize the phone with there service and something had to be done.

I had 7 months left on my contract, called them to see what the ETF would be, they said 50 bucks, cancelled that day. The ETF shrinks fast, you should check into it!
Welcome to Verizon, been with them for about ten years with no major issues other than paying an arm and a leg. Guess it's worth it for the quality of service they give.

I switched to Verizon from Sprint in February with four months left on my contract. They said the ETF would be $50, which would have been well worth it, but they never actually charged me for it. The service is far superior--I can use LTE almost anywhere as opposed to WiMAX almost nowhere and I no longer have to use Juice Defender to prevent my battery from draining like crazy due to poor signal, which allows me to use Google Voice to its full extent and save money on messaging--and it actually turns out to be cheaper for me than Sprint. The only downside is that I no longer have unlimited data, but 4GBs is more than enough, so it doesn't really matter anyway. I dislike Verizon's stance on locking the bootloaders for most of it's phones, but as long as they keep supporting Nexus devices, I'll be set. I think you made a very good choice in switching.

I agree with this. I've been on three of the four major US characters. AT&T had decent service, but horrid customer service. T-Mobile had great customer service, but horrid coverage in my area. VZW has been the best of both for me. I'd like better coverage at my workplace, but I think that our building was designed to be a Faraday cage anyway.
I've been with VZW for about 4 or 5 years now, and I pretty much hadn't needed their customer service until the last 6 months. Because of repeated issues with my Droid Charge (after owning it for 11 months), they freely replaced it with my current Nexus. My wife's Droid X recently developed problems with the screen and USB port. Today, they bumped her upgrade date up. It's was only bumped up to now from 6 weeks out, but they easily could have told her "too bad; you have to wait".
I'm not too pleased with the recent changes like the removal of unlimited data and the removal of the yearly upgrades for the primary line of a family plan, but they're still the top option for me in my area.
Yeah buddy!!! I just did same thing with mine and the wife's phones...no etf or anything..and I still had a year on contact. Was with Sprint for close to 10 years and finally got tired of the spotty coverage. No regrets at all. Limited data is better than slow data!!,

Ya, but that $70 is suddenly extremely worth it when you realize that Sprint has the worst service area in the country. They're horrible.

yes but you wouldn't get LTE. and you would be paying an unsubsidized price so you wouldn't really get your moneys worth from a pricy at&t plan.

I beg to differ on this statement. I have both Euro S3 and ATT S3, the only advantage of the ATT is the LTE. Aside from that the Euro is hands down better in every aspect.
Unsubsidized pricing is NOT that bad, the huge benefit to this is you are not tied to busted ass ATT for 2 years and are able to leave them at any moment.
And with my Euro I have gotten more than my monies worth. The only reason I have the ATT one is because I got a steal on it and I couldn't pass it up. But it honestly just sits on my couch most of the time.
And if you are not in a contract buying an unsubsidised unlocked phone actually saves you money rather than signing a contract with a carrier. My folks pay $100+ for what I get for $45 month. If you do the math, you pay full price 10 times over buying a subsidized phone.

That correct, on At&T the plans are not connected to the device, you only get a break on the price on the device if you agreed to keep your account for 24 months, what phone you have or what plan you have during that period doesn't change or affect the contact.
Correct but if you get a subsidized phone you signed a contract.. carriers plans are more than the prepaid or postpaid plans that offer the same benefits.. its a known fact that carriers get you in the door by offering phones subsidized while offering higher rates than prepaid but if you do the math buying the phone outright you save more money (a LOT MORE) going with Straight Talk over AT&T and essentially get the same service.

You don't have to but the phone at a subsidized price you can buy it out right and not sign a 2 yr contract its your choice.

What do you guys pay for AT&T? $90 a month per line or so? $60?.. $50?.. Straight Talk is exactly the same at $45, they are also on the verge of allowing lte.. the minutes for dollars scam the carriers have been using is very outdated and coming to an end.

Well if your going with one of the most costly carriers buying the us version from at&t over the unlocked version saves you 20% the cost of the phone + a 2 year plan. Obviously you would save money from using the unlocked version on a crappy carrier / plan without LTE..

[Q] Contract terminated

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 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.

Prepaid services T-mobile vs Straighttalk or ATT

Hello everyone, tommorow morning i leave on a roadtrip to USA. ill be gone for 21 days mostly will be driving on i5 highway and will stay 5 nights in VEGAS and 6 nights in LA. I have the note 2 T889 Same as t-mobile version but from Mobilicity and its already unlocked. what would be a good prepaid service for me to use? unlimited calling , unlimited text and atleast 2gb of good speed data. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
Trust me 2gb is more than enough for a month. I have unlimited 4g from T-Mobile and I never exceeded 2gb. Hope I helped good luck

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.

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.

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. ...

Well no longer a rumor only drawback is 2G speeds Still better then $15/mb roaming data rates.
20 cents a min for international calls is pretty good though.

A T-Mobile executive was quoted as saying a merger with Sprint was the "logical ultimate combination" two weeks ago. Wouldn't be so bad to add Sprint's coverage (realestate) to Tmob's, as long as CDMA is killed off with fire ASAP.

I also wouldn't mind the extended coverage but I am afraid of Sprint's ethics and HORRIBLE customer service somehow leaking into T-Mobile's customer service. The only benefit I see is like you said the extra coverage but I am more afraid of Sprint's "bads" to creep in. And yes definitely no CDMA that would be horrible.
A T-Mobile Sprint merger would be good if CDMA, was killed off, T-Mobile had operational control, they sell the 2500mhz spectrum use the additional 1900 mhz for HSPA and use Sprints 800 mhz for LTE as well as the current 1700 mhz

You forgot one thing... Keep Sprint's unlimited data for life, cause unlimited 4G is nice. I said pretty much this same thing in some other thread. I had sprint previously, their coverage sucked, but I am happy with t mobile right now. If they do so happen to merge, I want my company discount back. With sprint, it was 23% discount. T is 15%.

You forgot one thing... Keep Sprint's unlimited data for life, cause unlimited 4G is nice. I said pretty much this same thing in some other thread. I had sprint previously, their coverage sucked, but I am happy with t mobile right now. If they do so happen to merge, I want my company discount back. With sprint, it was 23% discount. T is 15%.

That is true I was talking from a network point of view, but I completely agree about the keeping unlimited data for life they also should put John Legere as C.E.O he's been doing great things. I was also a Sprint customer but I switched to T-Mobile for speed and I haven't looked back.

Same here. But I know exactly what you mean. If sprint and t mobile merged, they would have the ability to expand further than at&t and Verizon.
It actually makes a lot of sense. They just have to nit pick the good things from each carrier.
1. 4G from t mobile.
2. New and old spectrums from Sprint.
3. Unlimited high speed data from Sprint, without a price hike.
4. GSM from t-mobile.
5. The phone policies from t mobile.
6. John Legere.
With that all being said, maybe t mobile should buy sprint instead. Looks like they have more going for them.
I also wonder what the new logo would look like. SprinT-mobile maybe?
Edit: and the t-mobile girl. If they really feel like getting rid of her, they can send her my way.

That would be great if that would happen except T-Mobile's parent company Deuche Telekom unfortunately wants out of the US market and will try to sell ASAP.

Well, that was the case, but maybe with the new announcement of free data in 100 countries, they may just change their minds. Here is hoping they either just stay the way they are, or make the smart move.

I've done data roaming in a few different cities in mexico and although the speeds do get throttled I was able to do anything I needed to do within email and social media. I got a text from T-Mobile with the option to use 4g at an additional cost per day but didn't see the need. Throttled speeds should be around 128kbps

For me it was ok, I was checking emails and facebook etc. T-mo offered me an extra 500mb of high speed of data for 50 dlls.
