3g question

I was wondering, if I don't have Data Plan, would 3g be useful for me at all, or should I just turn it off.
I heard 3g helps call quality too, but not sure if it works for me, since I don't have data plan.
Edit: I have Tmobile and yes I have i have 3g in my area
Also, is there anyway to making dialer vibrate?
-Thanks

Nope no need for 3G without the data plan.

Yep no data no 3g

It depends on your provider, obviously you need some some kind of data tariff, but not necessarily a "data plan". Where are you and who's your provider (In the UK I get 3G no problem on PAYG, but some places are mean).

I'm assuming tmo doesn't charge per mb... On my pay and go plan, data is £3/mb!! It's kinda annoying when flashing ROMs, as 3G normally gets enabled and I get charged for it :<

That is vicious, on my Virgin PAYG, as soon as use data any day it is 30p, then I can use up to 25MB, after that it is £2/MB. But if I top up £20 in one month, the next month I have 1GB of data, plus 6000 texts as a free bonus.

That's a sweet deal! I'm a really light user, only top up £10/m, but I'll look in to Virgin. I was going to switch to vodaphone as the do the same one day browsing/25mb for 50p, but they don't have any reception in my area :-(
Thanks for the tip ;-)

Just wondering, do all carriers in the UK charge by the MB? No one at all offers unlimited data?

Yeah I don't use too much, way too little for contract. I just top-up £20 at once though to get the bonus and then it lasts a while.

Virgin actually call their offer unlimited, but it clearly isn't when you read the small print. There are various levels of "unlimited" for various prices, but if you are caning it then you'd get a contract plan.

@Adam - Thanks so much for the info on Virgin. I just saw that they offer 300 when you top up a tenner, which is why I was staying with crappy O2. Just ordered my SIM Now to find out if they have 3G in my area....

They're free now aren't they the Virgin SIMs, when I got mine it was 97p
Virgin run on T-mobile, so wherever they are Virgin are too. Plus that means my T-mobile locked G1 doesn't need unlocking.

Best value plan without contract in the USA.

Hi, I'm gonna study abroad in San francisco in a month.
Because I already have a phone and I will be staying there for 9 months i can't get a contract.
Here in France i have a contract-free plan with everything unlimited for 20€/m
My phone is a Galaxy S mtd so it will have to be GSM, GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA compatible.
Here are my average consuption per month:
-3h calls
-300 texts
- 1Gb internet (but i think i can deal with less)
I'm looking for something between 20 and 30$... I've tried to find some good value deals, but i can't seem to find any intresting thing...
thanks

What exactly do you want to get out of your $20-30? It's certainly possible but you won't be getting much. T-mobile offers no contract plans that sound along what you are talking about.

T-Mobile has a 30$ no contract PREPAID plan.
It includes
100 Minutes
Unlimited Texts
5 GB high speed data on their HSPA+ network.
You must have a phone that has access to the 1700/2100mHz (AWS) bands to get 4G (HSPA+) on T-Mobile 's network.
Otherwise, for phones with 850/1900mHz (NAM) bands you can get Straight Talk. It is 45$ a month for unlimited talk/text and about a 100MB PER DAY/2GB PER MONTH UNSPOKEN CAP... which is higher than the amount listed in the OP but keep in mind that if you go with T-Mobile and have NAM bands on your phone you will only get EDGE speed
Also this should be moved to "Networking"

T-Mobile won't be enough for him with the minutes. I suggest Virgin Mobile although their network is pretty slow,you'll get 300 min, unlimited text and 2.5 GB of data.

hum... the 30$ t-mobile plan is interesting but i cant find it on t-mobile's website!
When i was saying 20/30$ plans, i was hopping to get something similare as what i can have in France.... Here when you get something without contract, it's usually cheaper because you don't get any phone but It seems that those plans arent really populare in america...
I suppose that i can deal with edge speed, it's mainly for emails and google maps.
I looked on the mvno area too, i've found this particulary interesting plan: http://www.mycricket.com/cell-phone-plans#basic-plans unfortunaltly, it's cdma so i will have to buy a new phone there...
also, sry for the wrong sub-forum, i missed the networking part.

It's under the monthly4g prepaid tab/section. There are TWO 30$ plans. Be careful which one you pick (if you do)

On T-Mobile plan, do incomming calls are deducted from the 100mn ?

just get straight talk or metropcs
you can buy a straight talk sim and its $45/month unlimited (but not really) everything

Go Smart Mobile (T-Mobile $45 Prepaid Plan)

T-Mobile is launching a new sub brand, which offers $45/mo prepaid with unlimited voice, text, and 5GB "high-speed" data. It might be a interesting option for people who need more minutes than T-Mobile's $30 Monthly4G 100min plan, but don't want to use Straight Talk.
https://www.gosmartmobile.com/

When would they be available? I called there customer service and they are not active yet. They said micro sim phone might not get all the features like regular sim phone. I have nexus 4 which is micro sim hmmmm
I am interested cause its unlimited talk text and 5gb of hspa+42 data for 45. I am using straight talk right now.

This is a good deal. Sticking with the $30 plan since I don't use much minutes

They are only doing a test launch in a few certain cities for now from what I hear.

Sounds pretty equivalent to the $70/month prepaid plan I just signed up for yesterday.

I just read the fine print at the bottom of the page you linked to, and they consider 'high speed' web to be 3g. The $45/month plan is 5gb of 3G, then its goes to 2G

Was going to post this, glad I did a search!
If we can figure out what the microSIM issues are, if any.. I might move from the $30 plan to this, at least for my girlfriend.. VoIP's working but this is still cheap enough to be rid of all the headaches.
It seems like ordering a kit isn't restricted to any markets at the moment.. not sure if I want to be the first to take the plunge

definately sounds like a good deal. if ST AT&T doesnt work out well this month ill be definately switching to this next month. just wondering if it will be 3G UMTS or the full HSPA+

Hmm this is very intriguing. I just recently got on a straight talk plan and have consistently used over 100mb of data in a day and keep getting throttled to ridiculously slow edge speeds.
Does anyone know if they cap the data usage and if so what is considered maximum 3g speeds? Or does it just not use 4g towers? I have no idea how that works haha.
I don't get speeds over 2mbs anyways in my neighborhood with a "4g" service plan. Hopefully its all the same network and I won't notice a difference.

just curious, how many times did you have to go over 100mb in a day to get throttled? and are you on ST AT&T or TMO? im on TMO prepaid right now and theyre pretty straightforward with their data, as in however much you pay for you can use it how ever you want. but im gonna be trying out ST AT&T next week just because TMO reception is a bit spotty around where i live. i use less than 2GB a month and maybe go over 100mb one or two days a month

I'm ordering a SIM card to try out. I'll post to this thread with comparisons to my T-Mobile $30 5GB plan.
While I don't plan on switching from my $30 plan, I have some family members for whom this plan sounds great.

If they allow full speed streaming up to 5gigs, this may be a decent deal over ST.
If it's not HSPA+ full "4g" speeds, it's meh.

I am in if it's hspa+42mbps unlimited call, text and 5 gb data even better than solavei and simple mobile which they throttle after 4gb of data for 49.99.

yep

so high speed is 3g lol tmobile...

Not bad for those who need unlimited minutes. I wish T-Mobile's service was a tad bit better for rural areas. I use my phone 5x more when over at family functions or clients away from the city (out of boredom, really) and having to deal with EDGE is a pain in the ass. I'm trying out ST AT&T for the first time and have been pleased thus far. If they throttle me, though, I'm flushing their SIM card down the toilet.

Up to 5GB of High-Speed web (5GB at 3G speeds, then 2G speeds for the rest of the cycle).
It's 3G. If you're not even going to read the source, don't post.

Nexus 4 8GB + Giffgaff. Match made in heaven?

For UK users considering getting the Nexus 4 and are looking for the best Sim for it, I have to say Giffgaff has me really impressed.
£12 nets you 250 mins, unlimited texts and unlimited* internet (*there's a fair usage policy, but it's something like 30gb a week).
The Unlimited Data means you can really take advantage of the cloud storage options on the Nexus and save yourself £40 over the 16GB model (unless you download a ton of apps and games, you won't need the space).
If you store all your music on Google Music and stream when you need it, and upload all your videos and pictures to Dropbox or Google Drive and delete them from your phone, it leaves the whole 5.5gb of available space for apps.
Been using it all weekend and I'm incredibly impressed so far. I reckon this is what Google had in mind for the Nexus range.

You may as well have gone with o2, seen as though GiffGaff use o2's satellites but with half of the "signal power" as it were. Full power being reserved for o2 customers of course lol

That's not physically possible and even if it were it would violate so much EU competition law no one would do it.

im with Three. £15.90 gives me 600 mins, Unlimited (5000) texts, and Unlimited Internet, no fair use policy. Thats for 12 months and there is also a 1 month rolling option for the same price but a reduced number of mins to 300.

Yeah with Google music, dropbox/box/drive I seen to store very little on my device. Got a lot of games installed, couple of big ones and I've not hit my limit yet.

Can't vouch for giff gaff's data reception. I live in West Yorkshire and the signal is very variable. I get a lot of "server overloaded" messages in Opera on the first try. I am not aware of a "Fair Use Policy" but I thought that the market was generally moving away from that kind of marketing anyway.

Satellites...you sure its not voodoo magic.

My brother is with GiffGaff, and has no complaints. It's certainly one of the cheapest unlimited internet plans available I think.

The prices in here show what REAL capitalism is all about, our prices/plans in the US don't come close

Im with Giffgaff and must say I always get good signal.. I usually opt for the only 2g network settings unless Im actually going to browse the internet. As soon as I switch off the 2g only setting. My network indicator will show H straight away.

I have used giffgaff and found the signal in West Yorkshire to be very poor. Its a shame really as the O2 network used to be really good.
The comment about giffgaff getting half the signal of O2 is utter c%^p.
I got onto the T-Mobile full monty plan, Unlimited everything (calls, text and web) for £16 a month with £100 cash back :highfive: I have asked what happened at the end of the contract and it goes up to £31 a month, however call up T-Mobile and they will honour the tariff for another year

on giffgaff here, using the tenner a month package since I don't really need unlimited internet thanks to wifi on my bus, home, uni, train etc etc lol

1: O2 Don't offer unlimited Data
2: O2's Cheapest Plan with a decent amount of data requires a 12 month contract (and it's still only 1GB a month).
3: Giffgaff uses O2's cell network. And they get the same connection as O2 customers (and all the other MVNOs who use O2's network).
4: Stop talking rubbish.

Why are you bashing the guy? Ok he is not using the correct terms but the base of what he is saying is correct. They use O2's network and most likely will get the same reception, but do not get the same 'priority' that O2 users will get when it comes to using that network
If my father wasn't at work, I would ask him for the details as he works for O2 (not on their store sales team either..)

O2 have a habit of telling customers that Giffgaff's data network is slower than their own (O2's Retentions Department is particularly bad at this) in order to retain or gain customers, however, the fact is that they use exactly the same network infrastructure (as do Tesco Mobile).
O2 have no "control" over Giffgaff's data traffic (they use different APNs for a start), so there's no "priority" system involved. Giffgaff simply lease bandwidth from O2 in the same way that Sky or TalkTalk lease bandwidth from BT for home ADSL.
So no, the base of what he's saying is actually wrong.
Here's a quick test I did with my giffgaff sim and my contract O2 sim, same phone, same location (best result out of 5 tests each)
giffgaff:
Ping: 102ms Download: 6293kbps Upload 2104kbps
O2:
Ping: 92ms Download: 6190kbps Upload 2307kbps
The difference is minimal

New Pre-Paid Player in the Game (US) - Aio Wireless

It looks like AIO wireless just opened up for all of the US. Until a few days ago they were only available in a hanful of states but I just checked today and it looks like they are now nation wide. Uses AT&T network. Unlimited text and talk. Prices include taxes and fee's.
$55 - 2GB high speed (LTE capped @ 8mbs and HSPA+ capped at 4mbs) then throttled to slower speeds when monthly limit is reached.
$70 - 7GB high speed (LTE capped @ 8mbs and HSPA+ capped at 4mbs) then throttled to slower speeds
I just got my N4 last week and signed up with Straight Talk (AT&T sim) for a month but knew I would be switching to AIO when they were available. I have read to many horror stories about Straight Talks sneaky ways with what they call unlimited data. I would rather go with a company that tells you exactly what you are really getting up front rather then lying about it or possibly disconnecting your service.
I tried T-Mo but the service was terrible...Now just need to wait to the end of the month to make the move...Post your thoughts here if you sign up. Also will give the 3rd month free on new activations!
This seems like a really good option for people with unlocked phones and require a nice amount of data.
http://www.aiowireless.com/home.html

Finally! I've been waiting for them to go nationwide. I use GoPhone right now and it's great, but I'm always looking for newer, better deals. I might try AIO for the 7gb plan for a month or two. If I don't end up using nearly that, I'll either switch to the $55 plan, or back to GoPhone, depending on AIO's speeds/service. One thing to note: they throttle your speeds even before your cap. I can't remember exactly, it's in the terms and conditions. Something like 6 mb/s or so. After your data cap, I think it's throttled to 2G speeds.

Now that you mention it I think I did read something about the speeds they offer and it might be around 6-7mbs. That is more then enough speed to do anything you really need to do anyway.

I believe they throttle LTE down to 8mb/s. It is a shame they throttle before you hit your cap. Otherwise the 5 dollar difference in price over GoPhone is not worth it to me.

Yes, it is 8mbs capped which is pretty fast. What can you not do at those speeds anyway? You can stream Netflix or Youtube. I think Netflix for my TV says it only requires 5mbs for streaming.
I guess for the smaller plan it might be a wash although it is still more then $5 for GoPhone after taxes and fee's but if you want 7gigs of data, $70 for Aio vs. Go Phones $70 for 3gigs it seems like a no brainer.

From their page on data speeds:
4G LTE service currently offers download speeds up to 8 Mbps and our 4G HSPA+ service currently offers download speeds up to a maximum of 4 Mbps. On our 3G HSPA/UMTS service, typical download speeds range from approximately 700 Kbps up to 1.7 Mbps.

On Straight talk I just speed tested at 5.3mbs on an AT&T sim. I have gotten faster then that though.

GoPhone doesn't throttle when you are under your data cap. LTE can get 20-30mb/s easily.

There is no LTE for AT&T with the N4. You can use an older radio on T-Mobile to get LTE but it will not work for AT&T. You can only get HSPA+.

I had seen the third month free advertised on their website before they went nationwide, but I don't see it there anymore. Does anyone know if it's still being offered? If so, it's a no-brainer to at least try it out.
Another big question will be whether discounted refill cards start showing up online, the way they do for other prepaid options. You can easily get a $60 GoPhone plan for $57 at Callingmart.com. Right now someone's offering a $60 refill for $51 on eBay, but that always seems a little shadier to me. If those kind of deals don't pop up for Aio, it's a little less compelling.

Yes, you're right. It's still there, I just didn't read the rotating ads at the top of the page quickly enough. Here's a direct link to the offer: http://www.aiowireless.com/3rd-month-free-promo.html
You have to activate by September 29. According to the terms, you just have to sign up and keep your account active for two months, and five days before your second month expires, they'll automatically credit you with a third month free. It makes me a little nervous that you just have to trust that they'll credit your account, but what are you going to do.
Unfortunately, I just renewed with Net10 yesterday, but I'll probably port over to Aio just before the September 29 deadline. Still worth it for a free month even if I lose a week with Net10.

Nice find. I ordered the Sim and $55 plan last night so when it gets here I can hopefully activate it and get that month free.
Thanks.

What is their policy for roaming? On T-mobile prepaid, you don't get any coverage in roaming if T-mobile itself doesn't have coverage. In post-paid, it can use other operator's network while roaming.
