I successfully got out of contract with my n1 without an etf
Is the tmobile prepaid unlimited plain for 50 dollars really worth it? it says everything unlimited then says first 100 mb 4g speeds. I can deal with just 3g if i only pay 50 a month. Why do i feel like this is to good to be true.
any comments?

heres the link to the plans. I dont want to port my number over before i do something stupid.
You would have to deal with 3g speeds no matter what. Nexus one is not a 4g phone.
The real question is what is actual download speed cap after 100mb.
I'm presently on a 3g (Blackberry) phone with an AT&T unlimited data plan and presently my bill breaks down as folows:
450 min - $40
1500 Txt msgs - $15
Unlimited data - $30
Total - ~$85
Question: Essentially keeping all my fetures unchanged, will my bill go up if I switch to this unlocked GT-N7000 Note?
Thanks
If it relates to the AT&T note, you are in the wrong forum. It has its own forum.
how will your bill go up if you stay on an unlimited data plan?
in my Country there is no unlimited data plan yet. But, blackberry services in more expensive compared to Normal data plan.

Figuring that they charge for everything, I just wanted to make sure that AT&T doesn't charge more for HSPA+ over 3G
Nope... You are all set. Just make sure they DO NOT change your data plan to a tiered one if you go in and talk to them (I just did it without telling ATT anything).
There is a good post on how to set it up on XDA for use on AT&T with the APN and such if you buy one!
You guys sure pay a lot for your plans in the states. I thought that the UK was bad. I currently pay £32 for 1100 mins, unlimited texts, and 500MB data. Plus the phone was free on the contract. These prices are much higher than they were a few years ago, too.

I'm just curious as to what kind of plans are out there in the world compared to my plan and my country.
Right now I think I'm getting ripped off hardcore; cause I'm looking at the new plans from my same provider and they're offering waaaay more for just a little bit more money.
This is my plan : unlimited texts;international also, unlimited incoming calls, unlimited evenings and weekends, and 200 anytime mins, with NO DATA.
the sad thing is the price: $33.90/month.
my phone is a nexus s and I'm on Fido (a subsidiary of Rogers)
so.... what kinda plans do you guys have and how much do you pay per month?
On VZW I'm paying
$39.99 - 450 mins
$10.00 - 1000 messages
$50.00 - 10 GB data (double data promo)
A little over $100/mo after taxes and fees.
Sprint
$69.99 = Unlimited texts, unlimited data, 450 minutes (landline), unlimited minutes (cell to cell)
$10.00 = premium data (for having the 4 geez i guess)
$11.00 = insurance
27% discount = no idea why i got that...
---------------
$78 / month
R$ 17 -> For other carriers and home numbers
R$ 10 -> R$ 0,50 for messages, and R$ 0,50 for internet, they day that any of those two are used.
Free calls for phone from the same carrier as mine
------
R$ 27/month.

So you only pay R$ 0,50 for internet on the days you use it and then its unlimited? That sounds like a good deal.

Basically yes, but the speed is horrible, even on H signal, and I have only R$ 10 per month to share with messages, which have the same rule: I can send unlimited messages in the day I use and will only pay R$ 0,50.
But my carrier tricked me and my mom a few weeks ago. My mom went to my carrier shop to change my plan from other one to this one. I thought, in the next day, that it already changed (takes about 1 day to change), so I activated the **** it mode and started sending a hell lot of messages in that rest of the month. At the beginning of the other month, the bill came, and there was: About 150 messages sent (R$ 55) plus the internet (R$ 29 per month, "unlimited" (quotes because it's limited for 300 MB/month, so...)), plus calls.
Result: R$ 100.
"I got my values. So you can keep yours, OK?"
R$ 52,00 -> 110mins of calls + 30msgs
R$ 10,00 -> +1000msgs
R$ 5,00 -> "unlimited" internet (actually I have around 1mbps till I use 100mb, then the speed will go to around 200kbps, but I can still use it without paying anything extra)
R$ 67,00/month

I barely use my phone outside my WiFi range also. I control my limited data and sms cap so I have them left for a better occasion.
And I'm also forever alone, so I mostly use my phone, as related to calls and sms, to my parents and my cousin, mostly.

Got it 2,5 years ago before the telecom companies turned into fulltime scammers, which means I still have truly unlimited data. So now I just keep extending my current plan. Granted, it means no new phone with a new plan, but these days you pay for your phone anyway, and there is no way I could ever get a cheaper plan now.

Update: It's official. http://www.aiowireless.com/shop/plans.html
Not quite as good as initially promised. Unlimited voice and text on all plans. You get 250 MB for $40, 2 GB for $55, or 7GB for $70. Also, 250 MB of tablet data for $15. On all the phone plans, you get unlimited throttled data after going over your high-speed allotment.
The fine print says maximum data speed of 4 Mbps, which is lower than the 7Mbps I can often get on AT&T's network, but still not bad.
They do have a bring your own phone program. They ask for your IMEI. I put mine in and went ahead as if I were going to check out, and they seemed okay with me using a Nexus 4.
When you go to the website, it may ask for your zip code before you can view plans. This is presumably because it's being test-marketed in certain parts of the country. The earlier reports were that test markets would be Florida and Texas. I entered a random Florida zip code (34105) and it let me in to view plans. I haven't tried signing up, but I think there's a pretty good chance you could sign up and enter your real Zip code.
My take on this now is that $55 is a little too high for what they're offering. I'll stick with Net10, with 1.5GB of high-speed data guaranteed for $42.50 with a discounted SIM. But if you regularly use more data, this could be a worthwhile offering. The $70 for 7GB of high speed data is pretty much unheard of for prepaid, so if you use that much per month, I'd jump on that.
Original post:
A website called Fierce Wireless has reported that AT&T will start offering a new prepaid option starting as early as June. The plan will include unlimited voice and texts, plus 2GB of HSPA data, for $50 per month. Once you go over 2GB, you'd be throttled back to 2G. The Fierce Wireless report doesn't clarify if it's HSPA or HSPA+ (in other words, is it 3G or 3.5/4G?). They may offer a plan with 5GB of high-speed data for $70, though that's undecided.
You can read the entire article here: http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/att-planning-june-launch-all-one-prepaid-brand/2013-05-02
I've never heard of Fierce Wireless, so I don't know if they have a good reputation, but the report is very specific, talks about things happening in the very near future, and is about a subject most trolls would find too boring to make up a whole fake thing about. Also, The Verge, which I consider a reputable source, published a story about the Fierce Wireless piece without doubting its truth.
Even so, this sounds a little too good to be true. In comparison, here are the other deals you can get right now with AT&T prepaid or MVNO:
PureTalk USA: $44 unlimited voice and text, 1GB data, $10 per extra 100 MB overage
Straight Talk: $45 unlimited voice and text, ambiguous amount of high-speed data.
Net10: $50 unlimited voice and text, 1.5GB hard data cap
AT&T GoPhone: $50 250 minutes, unlimited text, 1 GB data
Red Pocket: $60 unlimited voice and text, 2GB hard data cap
Black Wireless: same as Red Pocket
H2O Wireless: same as Red Pocket
AT&T GoPhone: $65 unlimited voice and text, 1GB data
Every one of these plans has a severe disadvantage vs. the new rumored AT&T plan. It's no longer possible to buy Straight Talk SIM cards from their website, and many customers (including me) have been throttled at much lower data levels than ever recently. PureTalk looks like a good deal but has insanely expensive overage charges. The others are either the same price or more expensive than the rumored AT&T prepaid plan, and you have to pay for more data if you go over, rather than simply being throttled down to 2G. Note also that most MVNOs are known for having atrocious customer service.
The comparison is especially stark if you compare it to AT&T's postpaid plans:
450 minutes, unlimited texts, 3GB data: $90
unlimited minutes and texts, 3GB data: $120
That's a lot of money to pay for LTE data, more coverage in unpopulated areas, and a subsidized phone every two years.
If AT&T really does come out with the rumored data plan, and they do give you full speed HSPA+ data, it could put a lot of their MVNOs out of business. And I suspect it will start to cannibalize their lucrative postpaid business.
So my guess is, AT&T will hobble this plan somehow. Either your data will be throttled to 1Mb down, or you'll only get 500 MB or 1 GB of high speed, or the price will be higher. Nothing about the way their MVNOs have behaved recently tells me AT&T wants to make its prepaid offerings more attractive. But I hope I'm wrong with that prediction.
Sounds too good to be true. Guess time will tell. Thanks for the breakdown of mvno's, getting ready to look into one as soon as my contract ends in a couple months.

If they did I would probably directly my parents there. Right now I am on straight talk with t mobile and while its better and much faster in Atlanta I don't know about their part of KC. But they already have AT&T so they know what they'd be getting.
Meh, ATT still sucks around here (socal) they have good coverage but they still have call quality issues so I'll stick with Tmo but bring on the competition.
If this is true I'll be all over it

My ex-wife works at AT&T and says she's heard nothing about this to date. They usually get info around 30 days ahead of a released plan so if this is in the works, it's quite a ways under the radar. I would suspect it'd be more of a working memo that got released or something but, hey, who knows? It'd be great to see them all finally start competing on price!
Bump because new information in OP about confirmed plans.
This looks to me like an okay deal if you want presumably better service, 2GB of data guaranteed, and to be throttled rather than shut off if you go over.
The $70 plan for 7GB looks like a great deal if you use that much data.
$55 is a good price, direct from ATT, and they seem to be far more honest about what they are offering. I still don't like ATT but this is the right direction for them to be going.
Has anyone outside of the cities listed tried putting in a zip code from one of the listed cities and then just have it shipped to there address outside of that city?
I'm on straight talk and hardly use any data but yet I'm still constantly throttled to the point that it's not usable.

ATT or Tmo on straight talk? I never got throttled on either SIM using over 1gb/mo but I'm curious what you are using.
What I'm wondering is if they'll throttle people for steaming like straight talk or if they'll be more like T-Mobile in the way that you can do whatever you want with your data until its used up.

We won't know for sure until people start actually using the service and report back, but their terms of service do not say anything about streaming. They do say no tethering, and of course they give themselves an escape clause that "unlimited does not mean unreasonable," and you can't do anything that congests the network too much.
http://source.aiowireless.com/legal-info/terms-and-conditions-of-service.html
I'd be very surprised if they banned streaming. I've only ever seen that from Straight Talk and other services owned by the same company. AT&T has often been accused of prioritizing their own customers over MVNO people when the network gets congested. I wonder if AIO customers will get any priority at all.

Is this just another mvno or is it directly from at&t. I couldnt find anything regarding roaming and whether or not these are treated like mvno or at&t prepaid. How do you guys expect this to function during peak hours? Since they cap the speed at 4mb/s does that mean they have the same priority as postpaid on at&t?

This is your one stop thread for all US prepaid options. I have a paper due tomorrow, so I'll edit with more options later.
I've tried out most of the good prepaid carriers, so, hopefully, I can answer your questions.
AT&T Prepaid Carriers:
Net10:
$50 for unlimited minutes, messages, and data(2.5GB at 4G/LTE speeds).
Straight Talk:
$45 plus tax for unlimited minutes, messages, and data(2.5GB at 4G/LTE speeds).
H2o Wireless:
$60 for unlimited minutes, messages, and 3GB of data(at 3G/4G speeds)
$50 for unlimited minutes, messages, and 1GB of data(at 3G/4G speeds)
$40 for unlimited minutes, messages, and 500MB of data(at 3G/4G speeds)
$30 for unlimited minutes, messages, and 50MB of data(at 3G/4G speeds)
AIO Wireless:
4G/LTE data is throttled to 8MB/4MB
$70 for unlimited minutes, messages, and 7GB of data(7GB at 4G/LTE speeds, throttled after that)
$55 for unlimited minutes, messages, and 2GB of data(2GB at 4G/LTE speeds, throttled after that)
$40 for unlimited minutes, messages, and 250MB of data(250MB at 4G LTE speeds, throttled after that)
GoPhone
$60 for unlimited minutes, messages, and 2GB of data(at full 4G/LTE speeds)
$50 for unlimited minutes and messages.
$40 for 500 minutes, unlimited messages, and 200MB of data(at full 4G/LTE speeds)
$25 for 250 minutes and unlimited messages.
T-Mobile Prepaid Carriers:
T-Mobile Prepaid:
$70 for unlimited minutes, messages, and data(at full 4G/LTE speeds)
$60 for unlimited minutes, messages, and 2.5GB of data(2.5GB at full 4G/LTE speeds, 2G after that)
$50 for unlimited minutes, messages, and 500MB of data(500MB at full 4G/LTE speeds, 2G after that)
$30 for 100 minutes, unlimited messages, and 5GB of data(5GB at full 4G/LTE speeds, 2G after that)
$30 for 1500 combined minutes and texts, and 30MB of data(30MB at full 4G/LTE speeds).
And you didn't mention the single most popular wireless plan in the US today from T-Mobile? SHAME ON YOU!
Anyway...
$30/monthly for 100 minutes of talk/unlimited texts/5GB of data at up to 4G/LTE speeds (if supported in your area); after the 5GB cap is reached it throttles you to 2G/EDGE speeds (typically 50-150Kbps but theoretically up to about 240Kbps - yes that's Kilobits per second so at best you'd see 8-20 Kilobytes per second and that's in the best possible situation) - the data is never cut off so that's where they can get away with claiming "unlimited" in the marketing-speak.
Been on that plan for 2 years now, never had issues with it, can even do VoIP calls using Google Voice + Talkatone on 2G/EDGE and it works fine for me here in Las Vegas, we have fairly solid coverage citywide.
There really is no better plan available at this time, and there's no telling how much longer T-Mobile will offer it so, if you ain't on it yet, get on it - only available at Walmart or at T-Mobile online.
Lol, I'll get on it ASAP.
I've been on the $30/5GB plan a few times. I'm a huge fan. Right now, I'm on the Net10 plan though since T-Mobile coverage can be slightly spotty out here and I hate not being connected.

I believe it's cut. I haven't used that plan, I'm on the $30 5GB data + 10c/minute after the first 100 minutes.
I am not a heavy talker so it's the best deal around. Although I agree on T-mobile's coverage being spotty at best. They have so many dead zones around the city, you can walk into a store and drop from full bars with excellent data speeds down to nothing in a matter of a few feet indoors.

I'm guessing if LTE doesn't work immediately, you'll have to call tech support. I remember hearing someone say they had to call to enable LTE.

Sorry for asking a noob/maybe repeated question, but which network does simple mobile work on?
You should also mention that you are able to pick up 6 month cards routinely for Straight Talk for around $220, which brings the cost per month down to $37ish a month. They pop up on slickdeals routinely once or twice a month.

You just need to order an LTE sim form Straighttalk. They have them right now for $7.

I just got my Nexus 5 yesterday & I haven't had a chance to go to an LTE area yet. The price of living in the middle of nowhere...
MetroPCS
you can use it on MetroPCS too, same plans as T-mobile with no roaming data.
$40 Unlimited talk and text - 500mb at 46
$50 Unlimited talk and text - 2.5GB at 4G
$60 Unlimited talk,text,data - unthrottled.
Same performance as T-mobile prepaid, just $10 cheaper and no roaming data.
Sprint $60 Unlimited Prepaid Plan
It looks like Sprint also has a $60 Unlimited plan, though they have restrictions on roaming.

Loving MetroPCS so far it's new here in the Baltimore region; has beat out VZW in speed-test everywhere I've compared. Regarding StraightTalk and Net10 don't forget about the daily 4g cap of 150mb.
I also went with MetroPCS because it's a flat rate at $50, includes tax and fees. Not all pre pays do the same. For instance Solavei at first seems like a good deal for 4gb of non throttled data (no LTE access though) but with taxes and fees ur bill will be closer to $60 than the advertised $50.
I really think tmobile / metroPCS is the best all-around deal if service is decent in your area. 4G LTE wih HSPA+42 to fall back on is an amazing proposition.
Need some StraightTalk help: Been with them ever since I got the GNex. Right now, with the N5, I just cut the GNex SIM and it works fine on HSPA+ (6 down 2 up'ish). But I wanted LTE with the N5, so I ordered the Micro SIM for $7. I'm lazy, so I just pay the $45 and I have my credit card on file with them for a recurring charge. How do I get them to transfer the same number to the SIM, and replace the current regular SIM on my account with the new one? I noticed when I ordered the new one, it asked if I was already a ST customer, so I clicked the 'Yes' button. I tried their Live Chat, but it was hopeless.
Thx

It's actually very simple.
Log into your account and select activate a phone or Sim.
Select the transfer my existing Straight Talk service option.
The rest is pretty self explanatory, and you'll be ready to go in minutes

I believe it's cut. I haven't used that plan, I'm on the $30 5GB data + 10c/minute after the first 100 minutes.
I am not a heavy talker so it's the best deal around. Although I agree on T-mobile's coverage being spotty at best. They have so many dead zones around the city, you can walk into a store and drop from full bars with excellent data speeds down to nothing in a matter of a few feet indoors.

I'm not sure if the 1500 $30 Tmobile plan gets its data cut off, it still gets slowed to 2G like the other plans. Can't get confirmation from the website since they made that plan in-store only, but I came across a CSR reply to a question on the TMo site:
Great questions rollinghills!
This plan includes 1500 minutes OR messages, so one would be deducted for either. Also, once your data limit is used, your web speeds will be slowed. You can learn more about data speed reduction here: Data Speed Reduction.
