Net10 $85 2 line family plan with N4

I finally decided I am paying way too much for AT&T and made the switch to Net10's "family plan"
The way it works, is if you activate on auto-refill you get $5 off the first phone and $10 for every phone after that up to 4 so for my 2 lines it's only $85 a month. You can have up to 4 for $165.
I bought the BYOP SIM pack at Dollar General for $15. It comes with an AT&T compatible full sim, AT&T compatible micro, and a T-Mobile compatible full. I used the 2 AT&T sims for my N4 and daughter's GNex (saves $15 for another kit) you have to buy 2 $50 PINs up front to activate. The credits will come for subsequent months but I am sure I can call in and demand the $15 credit through customer service.
Speeds have been the same for my area that I was getting with AT&T with no drop off in coverage at all. I did have an issue "porting" my number but my daughters went through immediately.
Anyone that has multiple lines on ST, Simple Mobile, or anywhere else may benefit from this plan and save some extra cash every month.

As with all Tracfone owned companies it is unlimited* with no real policy set in stone for the true limit.
I know at least 2 people who have used 5+GB in a month without issue.

what speeds would i get with this?

To bad they don't have a set in stone data limit. I would rather it say 5gb then throttled, than leave me wondering.

That's the main issue with all prepaid carriers that offer unlimited. They have a policy but it's not set in stone. Most believe that ST, N10, Tracfone don't actually have the ability to throttle because they don't control the network so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

So net10 works through Tmobile & AT&T? What about APN's.. Does it use the stock ones or its own APN.

5GB on AT&T? Lol..not even close.. Net10 is the same thing as Straight Talk but ST is $5 less per month..not sure what the OP is going on about, probably because I only pay for myself which in that case ST is less expensive..AT&T gets better coverage in buildings due to lower frequency they use than T-Mobile but their data policy is more strict than T-Mobile prepaid and T-Mobiles data is faster.
Think I'll be sticking with T-Mobiles $30/month prepaid plan due to better data and being $20 cheaper than ST is a nice touch.

AT&T also has much better coverage in many areas. Even in dense metropolitan areas like Northern VA and Washington, D.C. I get stronger signal on AT&T, and when going on long car trips, I don't drop down to EDGE or even GPRS, like I did with T-Mobile. It all depends on coverage in your area and your typical usage. I get great in-building coverage on AT&T - often better than Verizon.

New prepaid ATT go phone plans

ATT go phone just started their new prepaid plans which are compatible with our nexus 4.
New plan is unlimited talk, text, and 2gb of data for $60 a month. Plus additional 1gb of data is $10 per gb.
I know this is a little more expensive, but for people like me that live in and "E" data area for t-mobile, I now finally have hspa wherever I go with no spotty coverage.
There was rumor that you can get a postpaid att account with unlimited everything with 5gb of data. The clerks at the store said that since it is byod, there wouldn't be a contract break out fee, which I find hard to believe.
Anyone ever do that?

Would you mind posting your APN settings? I've had the gophone plan for a month and started getting horribly low speeds, changed the APN to get better speeds and lost mms abilities.
Also, I had the older gophone plan and on the 22nd it switched automatically to the new, cheaper, and better, plan.

Cyanogen has them pre-programmed in their ROM.
You don't want the Cingular one. That's the old one with slow speeds.

Originally had my Nexus 4 on T-Mobile. After a week or so of 2g data I made the switch to AT&T's go phone plan. I'm on the 60$ talk, text, 2gig deal. I couldn't be happier. I just need to get used to only downloading file at home on WiFi.

Anyone using the DE on Aio?

Just ordered my de x yesterday so I can leave Sprint and their awful network behind. Ordered the DE so I could sample prepaid options with Aio as my first stop. Any reviews of the service? I'm aware of the 4 and 8 speed caps, but that's more than enough for my needs.

They're going to be pretty decent since they're using at&t's network without any priority stuff going on.
Target is doing a prepaid plan using T-Mobile starting Sunday. Its a pretty good deal and they give you a $25 target gift card every six months.
There's also straight talk which gives you 2.5 GB of high speed data on at&ts LTE for $45 a month.
Options, options. I can't wait for my Verizon contract to end.

It's almost always financially beneficial to pay your ETF with Verizon and go prepaid. Multiply the amount of months left on your contract by the savings each month and compare to the ETf and you can see when your break even point is, probably not as long as you think. I was able to sell one of my unlimited Verizon lines via a Transfer of Liability but I'm not sure if they still allow that. My other line the break even point was about 3 months so I bought a Nexus 4 and went to Straight Talk(At&t). I have since moved to the At&t GoPhone $60/2gb plan, I buy $60 refills for just under $50. ST is shady, I never had a throttle but plenty of people do and I wasn't taking that chance. I also noticed my HSPA+ data speeds went from 3-5mbs on Straight Talk to 5-11mbs on GoPhone so ST is not getting priority service.
If you can't access WiFi during the day to keep your data use down then Aio is probably your best option or T-Mobile $30 5gb LTE/100 minute plan.

My ETF would be $250 right now. I could probably sell my Moto X for $400 and have $150 to buy another phone. The T-Mobile $30 plan is tempting but it's subject to that priority scheme. I think I'd either try AIO or T-Mobile's $65 plan through Target that gives you 4GB and unlimited minutes. If the Nexus 5 is awesome, I may just switch early.

That's fascinating. What's AIO again?

I don't have the developer edition but I do have a Moto X. I actually bought it off of Motomaker as an AT&T device and bought AIO's Pro Service. I've had it for a couple weeks and haven't had a complaint yet. I picked it because of it using AT&T's coverage. So far I've had it in Kentucky, Minnesota, and Montana. Service at each location with data.
Hope this helps.

I bought a used att moto x off eBay and att gave me the unlock code when I called them. As long as you have one that's not locked to someone else's contract you are good. The service is really good in my opinion, join us in no contract freedom land!

I never involved AT&T as far as their concerned I don't exist. I was on Verizon and switched over.
Here's a quick rundown of how I did it:
Ordered my MotoMaker Moto X at full retail.
Upon delivery (3 days which was awesome) I went to AIO's website to order their plan.
I chose the BYOD option but AIO does not recognize the Moto X (at least not when I did it). So it then gives you an option of selecting a SIM card, Mini or Micro...the X has a nano. So I looked through the device list and found the iPhone 5 (which has a nano sim) so I used that as my device.
You then type in your IMEI number that is on the box of your Moto X, once you see the green check mark, you're golden. Choose whether to receive a new number or keep yours. I got a new one.
Check out, total is about $80 after new sim card for the 7GB plan.
My sim showed up about 2-4 days later (I was out of town at the time so I don't recall). I came home, went to myaio.com/activate, then inserted SIM and booted up. Instantly had cell service. However, I didn't have data, which was weird. I called Tech support the next day who gave me the APN settings which are:
Name: Internet
APN: NDO
MMSC: http://mmsc.aiowireless.net
MMS proxy: proxy.aiowireless.net
MMS PORT: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 150
APN type: default,mms,fota,hipri,supl
I only filled out the ones that had data in them. I think APN, MCC, & MNC were set, I don't remember.
Once that was done I had data. So the start up procedure was a little intensive which I expected but now you know and this is how it worked for me. Of course there's always the disclaimer "don't point the finger if it doesn't work the same way for you". However, as easy as it was I would be surprised if you had problems.

I realized with t-mobile, you can get 250 minutes, unlimited text, and 5GB of LTE data for $45. That's pretty good. It's just prepaid $30 and 10 cents a minute. I use about 200 minutes a month.

I have been on AIO for about 3 weeks now coming from Sprint and their AIO's service(ATT) is awesome. Speeds are great compared to the crappy spotty 4G sprint speeds. Have even noticed running a couple of speed tests and going over the 8Mbps speed cap a couple times. Finally I can use my phone's data when and wherever I need it. All of this and saving about $30/month from Sprint bill.

Lycobile prepaid, they have a 23 dollar unlimited talk text and data plan (100 mb LTE speeds). This is the cheapest plan I could find and they have pretty good service. Not as good as Verizon in my area but much better than att. They just recently added picture messaging and it'll be perfect if that can add some sort of Wi-Fi calling because when in my basement service is bad but not a big deal

Service is 100% subjective to the area you are in. Your options for unlimited aren't too plentiful anymore. I won't bother mentioning "unlimited" plans that throttle you hard after your data cap like Straight Talk. For example Sprint is probably generally regarded as the weakest of the big 4 carriers, but for my area it works great and I rarely lose LTE. In very rural areas I at least have 3G fallback, but I never actually drop signal for where I personally travel. Everyone is different.
Sprint: $75 for new plan pricing unlimited data, $45 if you can get in on a Framily plan (new lines only, check http://reddit.com/r/SprintFramily for codes)
ATT: $100 on ATT (you need DirectTV) but on Cricket (throttled to 8mpbs down I believe) unlimited data is only $65 after auto pay using ATT's network
Verizon: lol go look at ebay for transfer of liability on grandfathered plans... no thanks on that initial cost and then the monthly
Tmobile: you don't like them so no point in mentioning them or the MVNOs they run on

TMO sucked for me in Chicago and the burbs, got rid of it went back to my unlimited verizon account

Yes, all their plans have a speed cap

Straight Talk with an AT&T sim card
You get 10 gigs of LTE data through AT&T towers, no speed cap, talk and text.
All for $55/Month or $50/Month with auto-billing.
It's a very great deal considering the amount of data you're getting through AT&T. I just recently switched from MetroPCS.
