Im currently thinking about switching to at&t from tmobile.
One reason is my work gets a 22% discount the at&t vrs 12% at Tmo.
Also with taxes and unlimited everything im paying about a hundred which is kind of rediculous. (Without my discount)
Has anyone switched before and have a little more insight about data and plans between the two networks. I already know tmobile has hspa+. But will i end up paying more at at&t?
I already have someone lined up to trade my tmo nexus for a att nexus. Im just skeptical. And yes im going to pay etf fee even though i dont want too.
Help me out here people.
Att generally is more money for the same service and their coverage is not much better at least where I live

First of all, don't sign a contract because you're providing your own phone so you don't need to go on contract. Secondly, have you checked to make sure that T-Mobile has 3G in your area? What's your zip code?
How much etf do you have to pay? I dont think its a smart move to switch from tmo to att because of the extra 10% savings. Im pretty sure atts prices are inflated above the 10% difference. If you really wanted to save money then you can just switch your tmobile plan from your unlimited everything. If you switch your texting to google voice you can save $20 a month just from that. You can lower your minutes and start using sipdroid for your calls and have virtually unlimited free calls as long as you have decent data connection or wifi, and you can use your tmobile minutes as a backup.
So if you really wanted to get creative and still have a virtually unlimited plan you can sign up for the 500 minute plan on tmobile for $29.99, and get on the $10 web2go plan (this is the reason alone why i wont upgrade my phone for a long long time). $40 a month, and no contract.

2 questions... how do I get on web2go plan. And how do I use gvoice for texting?
pretty sure web2go is one of the old grandfathered plans the only way you have it is if you stuck with your plan and never changed it.
T-mobile just like other carriers play dirty tricks with plans to get their money back from subsidized phones.
i for example recently went the route of buying a used N1 for more than a G2 would have cost me subsidized up front because i'm on a grandfathered G1 data plan so currently i pay 55 dollars a month for 300 min 400 texts and unlimited data. i dont talk or text enough on my phone to justify more so its the cheapest thing for me to do is stick with it. if its not enough for me at some point i can upgrade to the even more whatever base plan without contract because i'm out of contract on my G1 now and it will run me 60 a month for 500 anytime unlimited text and data. had i bought a subed G2 i would have had to pay 80 a month for the same exact plan that is 60 off contract.
from what i have seen ATT is about 20 dollars more a month for the base plan that you would want on a N1 or other similar phone and as i said before in my experience at least in the SF bay area coverage is equal between t-mobile and ATT for the most part, maybe a slight edge to ATT in some places but for the most part the same.
Sprint is the only carrier that i have seen that comes close to the cost of T-mo and even with a subed phone like a EVO 4G your only looking at 70ish a month for a comparable plan but its nice staying off contract because it gives me more options in the not so distance future

I signed up just last week with tmobile and picked the $10 unlimited internet for phone option which is the same as web2go. Log into your tmobile account and go to add services, and there should be $10 unlimited mobile web for phones. Just make sure you do it before tmobile changes to the tiered plans, and set your device as being a dumbphone. Set your apn settings to internet2.voicestream.com and it will be good to go.
For google voice texting you just use the built in google voice application, or the normal contact list on your phone. It will send texts out from your google voice number. I sent one massive text out to all my contacts telling them my google voice number was my new main number. Might seem like a pain telling people a new number but after you do this it will help you out in the long run. You can setup sipdroid for free calls and all incoming and outgoing calls from your google voice number can be made without the use of any minutes if you have data/wifi. I made a step by step guide for that at this link:

I went the other way and am never going back to att!
My plan right now costs half of what att used to charge me
go tmo!
Ps: usually the discount only applies to the main line.
on both networks
OK guys so I've been working in wireless back to the Airiel days. Then voice stream.
I've seen plans come and go. I've seen companies come and go.
I've seen limited data. Unlimited data, and limited data again.
This thread is to post your experience with plans on the nexus 4 to give people the information on what's out there.
Now as a wireless consultant which this is what I do.
I rate and create projects for customer feedback.
Go smart was my last job.
One word..... Sucks!!!
Now if you want to pay $35 for your iPhone on edge its a great deal.
Beyond that its a crappy deal.
I've personally used. Straight Talk... Ehhh OK.
Simple mobile ..... False advertising.
Net 10..... Data issues galore.
Att unlimited prepaid..... With imei hack... Still throttled to 500kbps...
Then we come to TMobile prepaid plan.
Out of everything prepaid I've used.
And this includes Solavei. Don't get me started on mlm wannabes.
The T-Mobile $70 plan directly through T-Mobile is the best plan hands down.
And for the solavei person who will say but ours is unlimited.... I did your consulting affiliate... Its only 4GB of data. And they are having massive billing issues, and not to mention losing people in there customer base.
I give them six months before imploding.
Did you know they are amassing a massive roaming bill.
Back on track.
I get true unlimited data. Everywhere in the u.s.
The new unlimited plan "includes roaming"
I have used 25GB of data this month see screen shots.
If you are a smart wireless consumer for your nexus.
Get this $70 plan and then here is how you save.
Find someone on eBay there are hundreds folks.
Selling $100 prepaid card credits for $69.99
Or even $50 cards for $40
Its all over eBay.
Right now im on the $70 plan and I pay about $45 a month average because of where I buy the refill cards.
So if you have a nexus 4.
This is the best plan on prepaid for power users.
I've achieved speeds over 30mbps and average 25mbps
That's better than Verizon lte and AT&T LTE postpaid plans.
This very well could be the best plan in wireless post paid or prepaid in wireless.
Tell me what you think.
And your experiences with other companies on the nexus 4.
There is a cheaper business plan.
$54.99 total cost I'm looking at but its post paid.
On the Dev side. I'm looking to try to improve the radio issue.
Using a optimus g hack.
Stay tuned
Screen shots attached.
Oh one last thing.
$7.00 a month insures your nexus 4 on prepaid.
No other mvno does that.

Sounds like it. And I looked at the T-mobile option and most aren't going for any measurable discount. As for comparing them to straight talk. Im on T-mobile directly, my girlfriend is on ST. Both of us on Nexus 4s. Our service and speeds are identical (and I can attest to LTE speeds on T-Mobiles network). Straight talk is nothing more than a virtual operator that either uses AT&T or T-Mobile's network.
There's just one problem with you post, T-Mobile's coverage sucks balls. Yeah its cool to get 20Mbps but if your not getting that you're usually on edge, which is at least half the time. I'll stick with straight talk att.

I'm on Verizon's unlimited grandfather plan.
Nationwide Talk Unlimited $69.99 I actually use 1200 min / month
Email & Web Unlimited $29.99 I actually use 40 GB/ Month most of the time.
Total Equipment Coverage - Asurion $8.00
After taxes I pay $121.51 and I don't use Text messaging. I have no complaint about Verizon's service. Except my Note 4 is locked down.

I just made the jump as well Thursday. I was in the same situation with verizon. I couldn't be happier so far. I haven't had any service issues. I immediately rooted within 30 minutes after I walked through the door at home. Nothing is locked down. You truly have your freedom with T-Mobile. The pricing is about the same if you don't buy the phone outright. When I'm doing paying the fee for the phone the bill will be $31.00 dollars cheaper. About 80-90 a month unlimited everything. Good luck with your decision.

My parent live in Manvel (sorta out in the country) and I can get 4G/LTE.
No idea 'bout Houston but I made the leap (from Vz unltd data) because T-Mo is faster in my area now.
I sold my unltd Vz off-contract on eBay for $350. The guy seems to want more too...
I have no issues with T-MOBILE service in the Houston area. I've had strong LTE signal in and around the area.
Good service in Houston. You will lose reception in the occasional building or storage like target. When T-Mobile puts up their 700mhz towers it should fix that.
No problems here in Houston i remember back in 2012 having 4g with a galaxy SII and now we have LTE... the transition has been kinda smooth there are some death spots though... for example around the Rice Village sometimes its really hard to get signal idk why... hopefully that can be fixed in the future.
After that no complaints note 4 rooted removed all the bloat and good to go!
Best Regards
Me personally I rather have the contract plan and pay $100 - $200 for a phone then have to pay full price.
Here's the source material since it wasn't included in the OP:
http://www.androidcentral.com/sprint-may-go-un-carrier-and-ditch-phone-subsidies-and-contracts-2015
I was afraid this would happen... I too rather pay a discounted price for a phone than have to pay full price...
Nooooo! I don't mind my contract phone. At least I bought it for a good price, not full retail. ?

I certainly would not mind it. Sprint has terrible coverage in my area but T-Mobile has awesome coverage. I would probably switch given the chance.

Well I read somewhere that T-Mobile is paying off early term fees if you switch to them. Just a thought....

Yeah we did the math and if we did that then after phone costs and what not we wouldn't break even until about two years in anyways.
But yeah T-Mobile is paying. Up to 350 dollars a line. They send it to you in the form of a gift card.
Good to know. Thanks for the update. Looks like it's not even worth checking into for our family. ?

Sprint can't ever get away from the contracts or they would go under. They are hands down the worst provider of all the cell services and pretty much everyone I know including myself would leave them in a heartbeat if they could right away. I am just biding my time until I can be free from this god awful 2 year contract of pure **** service.
We got a call in January stating they are finally putting LTE in our service area (Detroit) and there are only 3-4 places I actually get it. I finally went into the store yesterday to talk to a rep and they told me my problem was that I need to disable 4G LTE for another 6 months until they have completed the roll out, and to just stick with 3G for the time being.
I can barely stream music, can't load video, and web pages crawl at best.
"Disable your LTE to get better service" was their official reply. They should be ashamed of themselves. I the last 6 months of having them my TOTAL DATA consumed is 1.8GB. I want to be using 1.8GB a week, not every 6 freaking months.
It wouldn't be so bad if retail for a phone wasn't so darn expensive. Could never figure out why a phone costs $500 - $700 typically out of contract. For that price, I could buy a notebook (and possibility a tablet too). The price of a higher end tablet with a larger screen is in the $200 price range - and that is pretty much a phone minus the radio. So my deduction is they charge $400-500 for just the radio.
That is why I tend to get a new phone and sign a 2 year contract or else I am leaving money on the table by not upgrading at a subsidized rate.

The idea is that the plans where you have to buy your device are going to be cheaper than the ones with the subsidy built in. You won't be leaving any money on the table if it's implemented correctly.
I'm on Sprint no contract no credit check option with an HTC m8. I love this option the m8 was only $325 off craigslist brand-new and I'm not tied down for two years. $60 unlimited everything plan and I have no credit this is awesome!
Will a more reputable company buy out my contract with Sprint? Like say, Verizon or AT&T?

I believe you're new to sprint. I joined sprint with same idea $60 unlimited plan. I got the bill for first month, it's $132. When I asked them, they told me $40 is the activation fee and rest are government taxes, etc. That means going forward my bill will be $92.
I asked them to add international calling add on for $15, they told me I need to do the credit check for that and after that they asked me to keep a deposit of $100 for 1 year, though the device is my own.

I knew all that about the first month being $130. But Sprint employees told me $70 a month with fees and taxes after the initial activation month. I don't need international anything.

You must be paying for the optional phone insurance it's an extra $11.00 every month. Check your account options and opt out. There's no reason for that to be $92 a month
I finally said F Sprint, and opened an account with Verizon. I can hardly make calls on Sprint let alone look something up online. On Verizon I have fast LTE 99.9% of the time, and I couldn't be happier. Trying to pick up a nexus 6 unlocked.
I will never understand people who cry and complain about a service provider. This isn't Yelp. It seriously showcases the most ignorant and uneducated. Look at a service map. Do some math. You're making an investment for crying out loud. So on to the point of this thread.
The HTC M8 Harman Kardon is currently $230 in most retailers on a 2 year contract. Also known as subsidy. The minimum rate plan for a single line with unlimited service is $80. 24 months of service is $1920 plus the $230 investment of the phone itself.
The same phone under the EZ Pay monthly installment plan is $0 down. The minimum rate plan for a single line with unlimited service is $60. 24 months of service including the $15 a month installment is $1800.
That is big time savings both up front at zero down and total two years savings. Even if you find a sale or promotion on subsidy the total two year investment is more. Period. This also doesn't take into account if you are eligible for membership or employer discounts. Credit Union members get waived activation fees and 10% off a month! No one else can touch this plan. Even T-Mobile. The installment plan is a complete and total win. Stop the belly aching about paying for a phone. You were always paying for a phone over subsidy it was simply masked in the rate plan cost. Remember when Sprint was charing $10 for "premium data"?
Sprint is just way more transparent now. More so than ever, maybe as a result of T-Mobile being aggressive. But it is flat out the most cost effective way to get a flagship phone and unlimited service. AT&T and Verizon don't even bother with unlimited service and T-Mobile short of their more expensive $70 plan will throttle you straight to the stone age. If you can't do homework over coverage or think the middle of Arkansas is as important as the Mid Atlantic then I'm sorry. Use Wi-Fi or look at a coverage map!!!
Sprint. Now and forever.
The only thing I don't like is sprint forces you to buy through them when you have 5 or more lines on your account. Tried to get my m8 on Amazon a few months ago and that was the case

Are you referring to me? I would love for you to point out where I'm crying. And maybe before you assume things and start calling people ignorant and uneducated you might want to instead assume that maybe you don't have all of the information.
So let me break it down for your simple mind. I have been a Sprint customer for 12 years, I moved 3 years ago and no longer had cell reception at my house, no biggy I got an airrave, and I basically only used my phone at home or work and both places I had reception. In the last month I have started doing a lot of driving for work and have been making a lot more phone calls, and after one phone call dropping for the fourth time I drove to the nearest verizon store looked at their coverage map and switched that same day. No more issues with dropped calls and I have reception everywhere I have gone so far.
As far as living in the middle of no where is concerned, I think not. I live 30 minutes north of Los Angeles. I hope berating others on internet forums makes you feel better about yourself. Have a wonderful day.
Hating ATT, locked bootloader S4 and my $215 bill for 700 min, unlimited text and 2g data on one line and 3g on other. Would like to switch to tmobile and main question is do you guys think Note 4 is best phone offered right now or upcoming? Are bootloaders still unlocked with tmobile?

thats why dont lease the new phone with att because you dont own it and when t-mobile pays the phone lease they require you to trade in that same phone leaving your back at square one.
For your s4, you can sell it for more money on ebay/swappa/CL. T-mobile just requires any smartphone or flip phone to trade in even if its not working as part of their paying your termination fees. You will just get zero credit for trading in a non working phone.
If you are eyeing the note 4 get it. If not get the s6 and take advantage of the latest and greatest software and design. Plus a year free of netflix promo if you got the s6 route.

I'm on cricket with 3 lines. Unlimited talk/text and 2.5 GB a month for each line and I only pay 90 a month. I picked up and unlocked a tmob Note 4 for 300 dollars after I traded in my Note 3. You would be able to pop and play sims in your other ATT phones too since Cricket is an ATT mvno. I just got a Gear S like new on eBay for 140 and will be adding it to my plan for an extra 5 dollars a month for 2.5 GB. If you like ATT service I highly recommend this. The only caveat is they limit the LTE dl speed to 8 mbps but it's never held me back. Just another option for ya!
Edit: Oh it only cost me 20 to get the phone unlocked, which you would have to do to use it on the network.

Its been great so far...if I had to make any complaint it would be that the online account doesnt keep track of calls and texts...only data use. Not a deal breaker by any means but was useful when I had it with AT&T. I have the same coverage as i used to so theres no transition at all
