T-Mobile Purchasing Suncom

What do you guys think about this? Will it effect any of you? I live in Savannah, GA and T-Mobile coverage is pretty good except a decent chunk of town that just so happens to give suncom phones 4 bars. Needless to say I can't wait. My mom uses suncom and she is terrified that they are going to do away with her beloved Un-Plan xD.
Also have any of you heard anymore on the deal? I haven't heard anything since it was announced.

I've had SunCom for about 6 years now and I will miss that UnPlan but certainly not their service. The only reason I stayed with them for so long is because of the unlimited minutes but everything else about them just sucks. To answer your question, I was told by a store manager that those currently on their UnPlan will be grandfathered. So as long as you don't upgrade or renew your contract, then you should be able to keep the UnPlan - I'll believe it when I see it in writing.
If you hear anything else, please let us know.

Suncom Sale
There doesn't appear to be anything to hear at the moment. Apparently the FCC has to approve the deal. The new story says they expect the sale to be completed no later than April.
I'm a long time Suncom unplan customer too and I agree, the plan is cool but the service pretty well sucks. I'm not sure what I think about this. I don't want to spend more but I'd already been thinking about switching when my contract ends.

Gotta love Walmart

They never stick to true release dates! Go to your local one now!

What state and city lol. I am headed to my local now. Crossing fingers

Columbus, OH
I saw the cardboard box with them in it laying under the shelf. They hadnt stocked them yet and none on display

Dude if I were,close I would buy you a beer. Just picked mine up from walmart. Walking out now. Was nervous they were going to stop me and make me wait lol

Awesome!! I know what you mean.. the kid seemed new so I was making a sure a manager didnt come over and ruin it " You cant sell those yet!!"
hehe - i am digging it so far - switching from H2 / mytouch 4g. The only as I can describe it so far is "refined" - interface feels classy to me.

I see what you mean by classy. I agree. Its smooth as butter also. I downloaded the beta Mac syncing software and everything is syncing fine so far....well except drm protected stuff

did your movies take forever to sync? Not sure if its cause of the mac beta software of what but its taking forever.

So technically i could get this from walmart, get an unlock code and slap mt ATT sim card in it. They are both the same GSM frequency's, I think.

Biggz - Why would you want to use this phone with EDGE only?

You could run att, but only get att's edge network on the US version.
I have an hd2 on att but am switching to tmobile this weekend for this phone and the venue pro to get the full 3g experince on them. It also helped that a block from my work they are installing new network towers for tmobile.
And I wont be running slow edge any longer.

Yep, sure enough, it's there! Got to hold the box No way I was paying 640 as I already have a rep scheduled to call me Monday morning and it can be no more than 490 after tax and everything. But, I was this ____ close to having it.

hi, 1st post but 4 months old reader of this forum.
I called walmart this morning and they said they have it but it is for a 2 yrs contract only. Maybe I'll drop by tomorrow and ask in person.
Why does your transaction state $600 when their website for pre-order is only $549. Wirefly is also $549.

Just go in. The lady was going to sell it to me if I wanted it. Just depends who is on duty and if they were advised that by their management or not.

Walmart's online prices vary from in-store prices. Call the store to verify pricing.
Gonna check my local store to see if anything came in.

If the frequencys are the same wouldn't get the 3g speeds? I would also utilize wifi spots. Do you think it would be best to get a tmobile version or would it still be edge speeds?

The T-Mobile version of the HD7 does not support the frequencies required to take advantage of ATT's 3G network. So you would be stuck on Edge if you bring this phone over to ATT.

I just picked a HTC HD7 from the Walmart in Fairview, OR. The Super Center store
p.s Clackamas has them, but the ladie in charge pulled them off the shelf and wouldn't sell them.
The Eatsport Palza one will not be carrying them.

Did you seriously paid this much money for a phone ?

That's hallucinating...
I'm on AT&T and have to pay 175$ early cancellation fees if I move to TMO which I'll do gladly and pay only 199$ for the phone. 175$ + 199$ = 374$, no way I'm paying 640$ for a phone...

[Q] Three (3) UK and LTE question

Hey guys, have this on preorder from Three, black version which is end of April for them (on one hand good as my O2 contract doesn't end until then, on the other bad cos SO SEXY!)
I just wanna clarify something, which I apologise if it's a stupid question - but I want this to be future proof. I know there is talk of some variants of the HTC One with no LTE; firstly, is this even true? And secondly, if true, is the Three network version an LTE variant?

The phone supports LTE (4G) for the UK. In the US there is an alternative 4G technology like Sprint use, WiMAX. But Three won't have LTE till late this year. In the meantime you can use DC-HSDPA (dual channel HSDPA) which gets you close to those speeds anyway. Three have a good part of their networking supporting DC-HSDPA

Beauty is three will upgrade you to 4g for free and it will be unlimited data unlike the rest
I get 18mb at present with my note one which is 8gb faster than my broadband !
Three represent excellent value for money I've been with them since they started they have improved their call centre and I would never move to anyone else
Don't think about it do it

Great! Exactly what I was expecting tbh, just wanted to check I wasn't being conned with a cheap variant
And yeah, their Ultrafast thing seems pretty cool until their 4G comes on, and one of my reasons for moving to them was that they said they won't charge more, and their all you can eat data!
EDIT - Query:
Weird query, for Three, their delivery estimate is end of April. So let's say 30th April. Now, I want to port my existing number from O2 - no problem, I know how to arrange all that.
So here is where I'm less sure. My current O2 contract ends on 27th April, i.e. just before I might get the new phone. So, will my PAC code remain valid after I go out of contract with O2? Will I have to keep with O2 and take out a pay and go or month to month just to hold onto the number?

presume your going for the black variant ? silver is available either now or in a week
have you checked coverage for 3 .. they cover 97% of the country just make sure your not in the 3 percent !
When they started years ago they were horrendous but they have got better and better .. you will have unlimited internet, no throttling and free 4g when it goes live .. I use around 9gb per month and it costs me £36 with all my other allowances ..

They certainly have the most competitive prices and value for money, but be 100% SURE you are not the 3%(I am) as it is a pain the the rear to cancel your contract and you will have some charges(ie minutes for calls etc). I must say that their customer service has been really good every time we called them. I am very close to an aerial (less than a mile), but because(I assume) I am on the ground floor, at a funny angle, I struggle to get a signal. I had no issues on Symbian phones(Nokias) however since the wife and I changed over to Android in 2010 I have never had the same signal(not blaming Android) just seems an odd coincidence. I wish they were ok as I really like the idea of no premium for 4G. Considering going with them anyway for the 4G later in the year.

The problem with Three is the lack of 2G fallback. 2G gets into those hard to reach places better than 3G. Three's coverage value of 97% is outdoor coverage. The reality on indoor is considerably worse. In terms of data deals, nothing comes close to Three's plans, but it will always suffer as the worst coverage network which is a real shame. For home use, Three do have their home signal box which gives you a perfect signal around your home but uses your broadband connection to do so. I use one.

So DONE with Sprint!

So I guess this is more of a rant than anything but I am SO damn pissed off about it. I have had Sprint a little over a year and half and unfortunately made the choice to upgrade early so my contract is still quite long at this point. Anyway, I live in Albuquerque New Mexico and am SO fed up with the slow spotty service, not having any data 80% of the time and the other 20% being SUPER slow 3G/!1X. Is there anyway to get out from under the contract without paying the ETF? I mean I drove 10 miles the other night re-sending a text because the service is just that bad in my area. Good friend of mine has T-Mobile and gets a super reliable 25 mbps down with 4G while I'm lucky to get .2 mbps on Sprint's 3g. End rant!

Oh OK ?

No way of getting out of ETF, trust me I tried. They told me as long as it shows you have coverage where you live and all that there's no way out without the ETF. You could just stick your phone on roam only and torrent a bunch of crap. Eventually they'll get tired of the data you use while roaming and kick you off I believe.

bvang89 is correct. This is what i'm doing, have already gotten the letter in mail saying if roaming doesn't stop they'll drop me. If LTE shows up in my area like it shows on their map, roaming will stop.

We've had terrible service in our area for about a month. First rep told us that it would be fixed in 72 hours. Second rep told us that it was literally just fixed, a week later. Third rep told us that the towers were still being repaired and that they didn't know when it'll get fixed, but they'll take a comparable credit off our bill (10%, real ****ing comparable). Her supervisor told us that we were lying, that our problem had been fixed two days after the initial call, and that our phones had 99% to 100% functional.
Sprint can **** off.

Same crap in Minnesota. I will switch to t mobile after my contact is up. The service may be just as bad,but at least it will be cheaper.

File a complaint with the BBB, you will get a phone call in about 3-5 days and tell them you are done. They will waive your ETF.
They told me the LTE upgrade will be complete in my area in January. And they offered me a hefty discount on my service until then. I also have it set to review the same case in the end of January and if its not better I'm out of sprint as well.

This is a bad year for anyone to be in sprint but I monitor service trender every day and all across america they truly are working on the towers. Pretty much all of them. Its called network vision. Things will get a lot better for most people and in the meantime you can easily get an airrave device for free. Works great. We have tons of customers that's been getting the device recently due to all the upgrades and say it works perfectly. It won't get you out of your etf but it will give you service in your home. You can also call retentions and they WILL give you credits on your bill because of this. I had several call and one got as much as a $200 credit and all he said was "I'm dropping calls and I rely on this for work". They even overnighted an airave to his home
Retentions: ( 888 ) 273-9460
Airrave: ( 855 ) 405-4098
Both those numbers are direct numbers to a live person. Be nice at first. Explain the situation. If you don't like what you hear at first explain more thoroughly the importance of the matter and if you still can't get your issue resolved then threaten to cancel port to another carrier on your next day off from work.
In the meantime watch or listen to "cell phones and flying" by Louis CK

You should not be expecting to do any downloads / streaming on 3G. Should be ok for emails and maps, though.
As for your texts not going through, are you sure your roaming settings are set properly?

Does anyone have experience with Sprint in South Beach, Miami? I'm going there for a few months starting in Jan so I was hoping it's not terrible lol. Do they even have LTE there?

South florida for the most part has pretty decent LTE service, though I will say that I've tested all over my area (West Palm Beach), and have gotten a high of 31down/13up and a low of 6down/3up while showing LTE service on my device. I will offer one caveat...it's usually hit or miss INSIDE buildings.
I've complained to Sprint when I couldn't get a phone I bought for my daughter to hands free activate properly inside my house due to lack of service. I was asked about an Airrave device, but it seemed more that they were looking to SELL it to me than GIVE it to me. I honestly should demand it, as I routinely drop calls inside my house or have to walk outside to continue talking. I must say that even though the service I get with my discount through my company isn't extreme given the number and type of devices I have and the data we use, I still sometimes feel like I'm not getting a very good value.

Lol that sounds like the ATT experience for me in NYC...I could never make phone calls in my house. I always had to go outside to make calls, even in the winter! That's why I can't use ATT anymore. I've always heard good things about Verizon, except that it's the most expensive carrier out there but I've never heard anyone complain about reception or service though.

I'd never use VZW or ATT.
VZW is the choice of my ex-wife, hence they are the devil and are to be destroyed or at least avoided at all cost.
ATT screwed me over back when first gen IPhone came out....after 2 months, I decided the device was stupid and sold it to someone for the exact same $300 I paid for it (sucker)....called ATT and cancelled the line....well, they left it open for 5 more months (of course not sending me a bill so I would KNOW this), then sent me to collections for the $300 bucks. Hence, they are the devil and are to be destroyed or at least avoided at all cost.

Options to exchange LGG4 after 14 days?

So, I upgraded to a Sprint LGG4 on Aug 1st, 2015...1.5 months ago. I'm starting to not like the phone due to spit screen issues and tons of bad press about the issues on the internet. I really wish I would have picked the Galaxy Note 5! Now it looks like my options to exchange are limited to "Pay Big Bucks!" and get a Note 5! I don't want to have to sell the farm to exchange. I am stuck in a 2 year lease agreement with Sprint. So what do you guys think? Try the G4 replacement process with my Sprint TEP or pay the piper and upgrade to Note 5?

You are stuck in the lease right? You can't even pay off the lease from what understand. Why not just use your TEP, that's why you have it, right?

sadly, you cant swap a device with sprint based on "bad press".
if your device is exhibiting the known issue bugs, then sure, you can get swapped into another G4.

cool. most of the issues seem to be hardware based. hopefully that is something LG will fix in future builds of device. that being said, if its not selling a lot, they may just play the wait and see if it fails game.
i am disappointed in the lack of support for both HTC and LG in the sprint forums, but then again, sprint hasn't been stellar with their service for a while now and i think the forums are showing that. even the once crazy samsung forums seem to be a bit vacant.

Yeah, Sprint is "low over head" but they hold their own. Service is decent in my area and I don't have to mortgage my first born for a good plan! I just wish all carriers would loosen the reigns a little and let these powerful phones 'breathe!' Also, 14 days isn't long enough to see if a phone is right for me...and now they don't care if I am unhappy because they have me trapped for 23 more months! LOL! When companies finally realize that treating a customer like a king is better business, this will be a great world!

People are WAY too caught up with being LOCKED in for 24 months.
I just swapped M9 to G4. It will cost me about $100.00-$150.00 to switch. Buy on Ebay and Sell on Ebay (or swappa).
If you want to change carriers. Many will pay early termination.
The only thing you are losing is the discount you got on the phone. Which you can resell.
You could say switch to a T-Mobile S6 probably for $99.00, T-Mobile pays termination and sell your G4 for $350.00. You'd be ahead of the game.
So nobody is handcuffed to anything.
I do agree 14 days is too short. I think if you buy through Amazon you might get 30 days.

I did indeed! Seemed like a good idea at the time! I wanted a low monthly price...they offered loyalty discount so I pay like $8 per month compared to the $30 per month for the Note 5...I don't really need an old phone after 2 years so returning the phone after 2 years was no problem either. I'm ok with the lease, just wish it was a little more flexible!
