Add support for 4G LTE and extra 32GB storage

Ok guys, now this method isn't for everyone. And could prove expensive for some, but it is something I have been running recently so that I have fast net whilst on the move with my gadgets.
I currently have a One X and waiting for my Nexus 4 and I have recently been carrying my Samsung portable 4g hotspot with me while I am out and about (I usually always have a rucksack with me so carrying the hotspot isn't a big problem - and has quite a wide radius when I don't have it on my person).
And while my phone is connected, via Wi-Fi to the hotspot, I also have better battery life with my phone I intend on using the same method once I get the Nexus 4, as we dont have Band 4 AWS LTE here in Denmark.
I'll be upgrading to this new hotspot shortly: The Huawei E589 - Mainly because it has improved battery life, 3000mah compared to the 1650mah I have on the Samsung hotspot at current. This should allow me to simply leave the hotspot on the whole day without having to worry too much about the battery dying. The hotspot also has an micro sd lot, allowing support for upto 32gb - which I can access over the Wi-Fi network. No need for USB OTG here or a portable wifi hard-drive, it's all embedded into the hotspot. :good:

The issue for some, is the price, having an extra 4G plan, could be costly, especially for our American, British(I say British, but I mean Londoners given the poor coverage of EE) and Canadian brothers on the forum, but here in DK - a 4G plan, is not so expensive in my opinion - about 250DKK / £25GBP / $40USD for 20GB data a month.
Maybe it's an option for some who desperately need 4G LTE and improved storage options? It works for me, it might work for you

I want 20gb of data for $40. :banghead:

In the UK our 'cheap' plan is 500MB/month - for £36!
LTE is an expensive luxury here - especially with Three & O2 rolling out DC-HSPA+ for no extra cost - LTE is better, but it's not worth 4 times the price.

It just launched to be fair and EE are taking advantage of the monopoly until next year when the other networks can offer 4G - hopefully that'll mean more competitive prices as I'm in the UK a fair bit myself so would be good with a cheaper alternative to EE. Hoping that Giffgaff can offer a good deal when O2 gets 4g!
I knew data was expensive but didn't realise it was so expensive I some parts of the globe! Count ourselves very lucky here in Denmark

A quick search shows that verizon using 700mhz spectrum for their LTE, so the one I suggest in my post will not work but this one will:

When looking for a hotspot, make sure that it has support for for 700mhz in order for it to work on verizon

That's not the point. Voice/txt on non lte networks is not an issue. It's the slower internet that is the issue.

I changed the thread cause there was another one just like it
I actually have the AT&T $50 Everything Unlimited since in my area it works pretty good (700kbps at night and 3500kbps during the day). I modified the APN and i get tethering as well, within 3 days i hit 4GB and now im past 15GB and i haven't noticed a problem!

I'm on the $30 T-mobile plan. Unlimited data, text, 100 min. I hardly call anyone so it's not a big deal. Data speeds are hit and miss in my area. Still need to test it out some more. At home I have Wi-Fi so it's not so bad. Saving 60 dollars a month over Sprint for basically the same service so I can take any negatives there may be.

I went with Solavei ($49 Unlimited, 4GB). With WiFi screwed as it is, I required a higher data plan to keep the phone from borking the rest of the network. The price is in line with the plan and if I happen to turn a few people onto the service the cost can be offset to a better bang for the buck. The service is great (T-Mobile) and the community is kind and helpful.
Shouldn't this be in Nexus 4 General ?

I'm on AT&T for the time being. Once I'm off contract I'm planning on switching over to T-Mobile. I need to grab a pre-paid sim to test, but from the coverage maps and tower locations, T-Mobile reception should actually be strong enough at my house to get rid of the microcell I have to make AT&T work. I've been on AT&T forever, but I'm finally starting to get sick of the reception and performance problems I have. Not to mention that T-Mobile is cheeper since they dropped the subsidy cost out of the subscription.

I'm running H2O Wireless which is an AT&T MVNO. $50 a month for unlimited talk/text but 500MB data which is more than I need really. I don't stream youtube while on the train as to me that's retarded . (I barely watch anything on YouTube anyways). I also get $20 of international calling included too and it applies as GF is in Germany so get to call her for free is nice (she can call the US for free too).
I'm thinking to switch to StraightTalk AT&T only because they have more data anyways even though I don't need it. Last month during Hurricane Sandy I used it up like hell! UPS battery finally got a work out after having it for almost 2yrs. Gotta check out if they have international calls too (AFAIK the same company owns them all, Locus Communications).

T mobile $30 prepaid (100 voice, unlimited text/data) convert from Sprint SERO-P customer. Saving $30 per month, no contracts, usable 4g speeds and GSM data access during calls.
Wish I had switched sooner!

AT&T - Their service is terrible as it has always been (north east Denver) device has been irrelevant as far as service level goes. Part of the reasoning behind my purchase of the nexus 4 was so my contracts would start to expire and I can eventually move away from them.

Net10 $75 Unlimited 5GB Plan, anyone?

Loving my Nexus 5, it was so great to get to leave Verizon for a better phone, and a better price.
I've been on Straight Talk for the past month, and my time is almost up, 2.5gb is close, but I need a bit more. I want to get the new Net10 $75 plan, and evidently need a new AT&T sim card for their network.
Can I just buy the SIM I need and then select that plan when activating? Or do I HAVE to buy this $50 activation kit and then upgrade to the $75 after a month?
Been getting the run around on socials and help chat.

They used to be, now they offer $45/month for unlimited talk, text & 2.5GB of data.. After the 2.5, I believe they throttle.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Yup. I'm using between 2.75 and 4.5 data a month. I don't want the throttling.
Was looking at AIO, but it is throttled all the time, and who knows what will happen now that AT&T is buying Cricket (word is AIO is being shut down).
Anyways, Anyone have some helpful info?

It's 2.5gb of high speed speed data, then the slow you down to 2g.
My understanding is that you can just buy 0.99c sim off eBay and then activate it on any plan they have. It's a dollar risk, I'd try it before paying for an activation kit.. The apn settings are posted all over.

That's what I was hoping. The guy I talked to on the phone support was nice, but I could barely hear him (landline), and that sounds like maybe what he was saying.
Net10 has free overnight shipping on their $6.99 sim cards, or you can get them on Amazon too for .99 as a Prime AddOn.

Make sure you get one already cut for micro size.

Okay @coorsleftfield , just ordered the one I linked. I'm assuming when it gets in I activate the sim and then select a plan on the site? It was a month ago for Straight Talk but I believe they had a similar setup (drank a lot since then).

not here in nyc, they are the best. i average 30-40mbps download and 15-25mbps upload. great lte coverage here, no dropped calls. and they are cheap not because of bad service, but because they are the 4th largest provider in the us, and are trying to take away the customers from the 3 largest providers. att is terrible in nyc(but improving), so is sprint.

Yeah, that's not what I asked about though, thanks.
My wife WORKS for T-Mobile, there's a reason I'm on AT&T now and she's giving up her Employee Plan for the same. Unlimited X No Signal = Unlimited Nothing. LOL In her call center they are lucky if they can get edge 95% of the time. In a large metro area too. In the two counties I work in, Socorro and Catron Counties, there is no T-Mobile service at all unless you stay within a few miles of the freeway (I-25), and that is spotty too. I can't be out of service for a 6 hour round trip drive to some of the lands we are responsible for near Arizona.
Hell, we live less than 200 feet from I-25, and she gets 1 to 2 bars in the house, and can't make a call unless she switches to WiFi.

I have no need for this, hence why I started the thread about this specific plan with Net10.
I've seen the other threads with what's available and what folks think about them.

Sorry, that sounded rude, I just re read it. I apologize for that, wasn't my objective.
I was with T-Mobile for years under my wife's plan, I wish them nothing but luck and love how they are changing the industry, but until their network expands and gets reliable, I can't us them here in New Mexico.

Verizon is too locked down. Pretty sure the Verizon S5 doesn't even have root yet lol.

Meanwhile in Korea they've got support for speeds up to 225Mbps which will be supported by the prime next month and here in the UK we go outside hoping just to get a good 3g signal :/, feels like living in the stoneage. 4g is just beginning to roll out to all carriers. We are so behind. *jealous*

Sadly, all that speed will be useless if you don't have unlimited data and pay an arm and a leg for it. I guess it is worth it if the needs warrant the price you have to pay to have it. I was with Verizon, and since I don't talk much I had 450 anytime minutes with unlimited text and 2g of data all for almost $100 a month. I got tired of over-paying and having to watch carefully and not go over the 2g cap. Hence I switched to Sprint and with the new Sprint Spark, I am quiet happy with it! I pay around $70 for unlimited talk/text/data a month. Sprint Spark is still new so coverage area is limited but it will get better just like when the Verizon LTE was first introduced Dec of 2010.

So your answer was to go to a carrier that hardly has any LTE? Sprint's only thing they have left is unlimited data.

I'm getting good coverage where I'm at, even picking up Spark, so I'm quiet happy with my decision. I never said to do what I did. I did say at the beginning of my initial reply that all that speed is useless if you don't have unlimited data.

Don't get defensive...It was just a question and my opinion.

Verizon N6 or spend more on GooglePlay N6

I have an upgrade available on my line(unlimited data VZW) and currently have the S4 and would like to go back to a nexus (previously had a Galaxy nexus and loved its openness) Im thinking about transferring the upgrade to my moms line(shared family data plan) and getting the N6 at $249 and then giving her my S4 so she has a better phone then what she has(cheap cheap smart phone). Are there any downside to the Verizon version of the N6? Its quite a bit cheaper then the Google play version so im really leaning towards that. After we buy the N6 on her line i would just switch the sim cards in our phone right? So she'd have the S4 and id have the N6.

Verizon doesn't offer the 64gb version. Nor white so far.

I have the unlimited plan to and just FYI you're not going to get a free upgrade to a nexus or any other phone and be able to retain your unlimited plan. The only way to retain your unlimited is to pay for the phone outright whether it's from Verizon or Google it really doesn't matter.

lol, by buying from verizon with a "discount", and extending your contract, you are actually paying more than buying it in full, and going with a non contract plan(not verizon for sure).

Well when some other provider can come out here and get me high speed access with 50-60 gigs a month without charging me more than $70 I'm on board.

I thought you could still transfer upgrades??

I have the unlimited plan to and just FYI you're not going to get a free upgrade to a nexus or any other phone and be able to retain your unlimited plan. The only way to retain your unlimited is to pay for the phone outright whether it's from Verizon or Google it really doesn't matter.

Does verizon not allow you to transfer upgrades anymore? Im not doing any switching or anything but just giving another line on our plan the discount/upgrade my line is never going to use. then after the whole deal is done and the non unlimited plan has signed a new contract and has a new n6 on it i cant just switch our sim cards and give my mom(the non unlimited line) my s4 and take her new n6??
And ya ill never leave Verizon unless t mobile picks up their speed in my area. Verizon is the only carrier that actually works all over town and has 40mbs+ down almost anywhere if you have at least 3 bars

Well when some other provider can come out here and get me high speed access with 50-60 gigs a month without charging me more than $70 I'm on board.

thats exactly what i pay for unlimited data on tmobile, and no contract. that price and a discounted n6, thats a good deal. but i know that isnt the normal verizon price.

Ya and after you pass 4gb your speed goes down to almost unusable. At least in my area its basically impossible to even look at Facebook over 2g

I'm not sure. A few of my friends had been swindled out of their unlimited plan by not paying attention to what they're signing I would be very interested to hear how it goes for you.

no such thing, lol. imagine much? im in nyc right now, and id say that in nyc tmobile has by far the fastest consistent data speeds in and around nyc. btw, nyc is tmobiles largest market, wtf would they cover it in 2G? i havent seen anything below hspa+ in nyc for the last 4 years. hspa+ is 3(.5)G, with data speeds over 42mbps.

Well tmobile still sucks here as it always has. On a good day I can get 2g

Your very lucky, i wish i could switch to tmobile, better phones, better prices, better customer service, better a lot of things lol. But here in the pacific north west specifically eastern Washington, tmobile sucks fat balls as soon as you step out of a city and sucks pretty bad if you're near any big buildings. Its like they used the very least possible towers to cover my city lol

That's absolutely false. I help people every day use their UDP line upgrades and keep UDP.

I have an upgrade available on my line(unlimited data VZW) and currently have the S4 and would like to go back to a nexus (previously had a Galaxy nexus and loved its openness) Im thinking about transferring the upgrade to my moms line(shared family data plan) and getting the N6 at $249 and then giving her my S4 so she has a better phone then what she has(cheap cheap smart phone).

Is your UDP line in the same account as your mom's? Or is it in a subaccount?
This is the thread on using a UDP line's upgrade and keeping UDP. Be sure and read the wiki.

No offense I have seen that site before and SCAM WARNINGS went off. It may be legitimate but seems sketchy.

Well since I am the one who is helping everyone on that site I can tell you it is not a scam at all. I have used the methods myself at least 7 times now, kept UDP every time and have helped hundreds of people do it successfully.
