What's the best company that offers unlimited prepaid plans out there?
Well here in the UK the best value for money on payg is 3.
I top up by £15 a month and get 300mins, 3000 txts and truely unlimited internet

Since your in the U.S. And, on AT&T....
I'd recommend either
Straight Talk: 45$ a month unlimited talk/text however, they have nebulous TOS regarding their data limits. It's been discussed that you use about 2GB a month or 100MB a day without issue (being throttled or thrown off the network, with no refunds)
H20: 60$ unlimited talk/text/2GB data
Redpocket: 55$ unlimited talk/text/1GB data
Those are the ones that use AT&T's network and would be compatible with any locked (or unlocked) AT&T device.

I heard about Lightyear Wireless and from what I know, they offer Unlimited calling, texting, and internet (without caps) for only $59.99. No contract, no deposits, and no credit checks. From what I've learned also, they're using Sprint towers for their service and that would mean, no GSM phones. :thumbdown:
They also have a referral program where you can get a FREE service if you use their service and refer 5 more customers to use the service as well.
Anyone tried this company before? Anybody knows the quality of their network?

With this phone how is us T-Mobile?

Without HSPA+, no 3G in other words.
Might be wrong. I was shopping for a new carrier until i realized ATT is the only one to offer 3G for this device and decent prices
Plus, they will throttle you down if you go above a very low limit (200MB, i believe)
This can be a great reference for people who are undecided on Straight Talk t-mobile network vs Native T-mobile network. We can also compare $30 unlimited plan to contract plan speeds.
Please Post:
Carrier: xxxxxxx (EX: T-mobile network via T-mobile, OR, T-mobile network via Straight Talk)
Plan: xxxxx (EX: $30 unlimited, OR, $45 unlimited)
Location: xxxxx (EX: Brooklyn, NY... OR Dallas, Texas)
Then please post a picture of your speeds (or you can type it out).
Thanks!!
I posted this on thread already.
I have straightalk i had att sim ordered tmobile sim and cut it down using the att sim.
ATT sim straight talk average download speed by speakeasy app 5-7 down .5-1.5 up
Tmobile sim average speed 12-15 mb down 1.5-3 up tested this today fort wayne IN medium size city I do get 4 bars for both networks at my house. and wifi speed 20-25 down 5up comast 2.5 ghz i dont use 5gz band really.
I love this phone, and T-Mobile
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Me too, it's the best phone I've ever played with or owned, and I've been very promiscuous.
On 3 mobile, £15 per month pay as you go (off contract), all you can eat unlimited data bundle, I got this whilst walking about in the town. Why bother paying the 4g data premium?
Definitely the best speeds I've had in my area on tmobile
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Not only good speed but also good latency considering I rely on Google Voice + Groove IP for VOIP. Tmobile looking good.
And on WiFi.... 2.5 band...

Yep. Speed Test on my N4 isn't scaled properly, and for some god forsaken reason my speeds have gone from ~4Mb on my Galaxy Nexus to absolute crap on my N4.

So, are these speeds using DC-HSDPA?
I was under the impression that DC-HSDPA was 10-12mb
Sent from my HTC ONE X using Tapatalk 2
I'm in Tampa and on T-Mobile's unlimited value plan for $69. I'm pulling down 12-18 Mbps on average. Upload is 1.5-2.5 Mbps.
Thanks for the results. Now I'm even more anxious to get my Nexus 4. Those scores absolutely obliterate my scores on Sprint.
If anybody in the San Fernando Valley can report in on T-Mobile results, that would be great.

I use an HSPA+ mifi but never see speeds likes yours, OP! I'm lucky to see 2mb down!
Did some driving around today, seems the speeds I posted are pretty limited to a small area here unfortunately. Most of the other places I tried were around 1 - 3 Mbps which is still better then what I get with Sprint (no 4g coverage here but I have to pay for it) just waiting until my contract is up to make the switch.

Just to add: Bell and Telus have a shared HSPA+ network that operates on both 850 and 1900. So unlike T-Mobile's, it has better in-building coverage and penetration. Same frequencies as AT&T but overall faster and less burdened. Lower burden due in part to the fact that there are very few customers with grandfathered unlimited plans of any kind - Canada saw its first iPhones launch with small data caps, while AT&T started with unlimited and only years later started to shrink the data allowance.
bump.. Anyone else? There's gotta be a lot more of us Nexus 7 3G owners out there by now.
att gave me horrible speeds, but tmobile gave me much better service. much happier now.
The employee at Tmo must have been unaware they had that plan, or else I might be using it. I should'a known tho because I thought I saw they had a tablet for sale! Anyway, I'm basically happy with 3gb for $30 with AT&T, but it's nice to have options.
does this device not have "H+" icon in the status and only shows "H"? I'm using the tablet plan on Telus in Canada and it only shows "H".
I have LTE signal when I plug in the sim card into my Nexus 5.
Any suggestions?

Lots of threads about shipping among other things. But what carrier are you using your PHONE on? I am personally using T-Mobile with Unlimited everything on a family plan.
Since this device is being sold around the world, i think an actual poll would be too lengthy and have too many options. So please just post as a comment!

Depending on your current bill, could potentially be worth it to cancel early. I have a friend that is going to cancel their verizon, because they will save more money than the cancellation fee.
As for me, T-mobile, been with them since 2001. (GO VOICESTREAM)
Um, you forgot to add the poll to your poll thread.
I will be using AIO pro plan.
Sprint is my carrier.
Will be Three UK. 2000 minutes, 5000 texts, 5000 three to three minutes, unlimited data with free upgrade to 4G in December including unlimited tethering all for £15 a month on a 12 month sim only contract.

Same Situation, however I am in the midst of fighting with them over this nonsensical 61 Cent "Administrative Fee" they added per line to my Family Plan. They never notified anyone and in breach of contract. I am going to try to be released for their breach of contract.
T-Mobile!
I ordered the free micro sim kit from T-Mobile today. Plan on buying their 1000 minute $100/yr prepaid plan. Wifi for 90% of it's use. Sad to hear about Google stopping 3rd party VOIP apps next year, no more GrooveIP, Talkatone and others... still not sure if I'd use 1000 minutes per year.

Straight talk At&t. I really wish Tmo would get the LTE in my area already because that seems to be the best choice. Just can't deal with edge/2g speeds and att has great LTE coverage for me. Even better than vzw in a lot of places.

Only bad thing with Cricket is that the data speeds are throttled.
If you can live with slower data, it's great.

I have four lines on my account with ATT we get 15gb per month with rollover for any unused data - and it runs roughly 55 per phone per month
works for us pretty well...

Yes, price wise. The max speeds you can get on Cricket is 8mbs down. They had a promo a few months back, their best plan which comes with 10gb of data for $60, they doubled it to 20gb data for the same price, with auto pay on you could get 20gb of LTE data for $55 a month, then throttled to 2g for remainder of the month. Hell, even I was tempted to jump on that offer.

No you need a Cricket Wireless sim, you can order one from their website or get them at most any Wal-Mart's.
They were bought out by ATT and operate on ATT towers, so same coverage as ATT.

I-Wireless runs on the Sprint network, not sure why you would want to goto Sprint, instead of ATT, but those price suck compared what you can get directly through Sprint.
For $60, you can get unlimited everything, including unlimited LTE Data.
