Family member gave me their Thunderbolt, I now have the Incredible 2., which is 3G. I have an unlimited data plan for some time. If I drop my sim into the thunderbolt and activate is it going to wreck my plan and put me on the new tiered system?
No and the sim from the dinc2 is worthless in a thunderbolt. That's a gsm sim. I came to the thunderbolt from the dinc2 and I still have unlimited data

Maybe call vzw and ask just to be sure but I believe it only applies if you use an upgrade and buy the tbolt from them. Because anyone can buy a phone from anywhere ie(craigslist,ebay,etc) and put it on there lime as long as the ran is clean. But like I said check with them to be safe.

It shouldn't mess with your plan, but you will need a different sim that will allow you to get the 4G lte network.
Like he said above, the sim you currently have is useless.

Thanks guys! Where would I find that SIM?
Just walk into Verizon and they should just give you one. They shouldn't really ask any questions, but if they do, just tell them you picked it up used and just need a sim card for it.

It may cost you $25 to pick one up
And btw you should ROOT The tbolt

Sims are free for VZW customers. You have to get it from a corporate store or order it though because the licensed retailers will charge for it.

Else, probably Sprint, I'm not too fond to get Verizon as they don't have SIM cards...

some phones on sprint and verizon are world phones so they use sim cards too
I hope tmo gets a really really good phone around Christmas time, nexus i wish, then I'll upgrade and renew contract... So I get to keep the same tmo contract for the next year and a half or two even after the acquisition finalises.. I like my 70+ /mnth plan with 5gb data on TMO... When the contract ends, then I'll be on ATT, i don't mind the 2gb data limit since I don't go past 2gb every month anyway, i think it will cost more too especially two years from now or a year.. Att might raise the monthly plans...
I like sim cards..
im not sure yet that is even if the merger happens the fcc might block it and i hope they do i dont want the cheap and great t-mobile to get vaccumed up by the expensive rip off at&t that claims they have the best coverage

Sprint! Probably leaving T-mo here in the next month or 2... either get the 3D or the new Motorola Photon when it releases.
T-mo coverage is poop everywhere I go except work and home. I know that is only like 5% of my life that is spent where bad coverage is, but I really like my coverage to follow me other than along interstates.

I'm pretty sure it will run on pageplus. They use Verizon's system so the coverage and service would be the same. As long as the esn is good on it.

Whats needs to be done to the phone before attempting to activate on PagePlus?
basically just filled out the account stuff here: http://www.pagepluscellular.com/Online Store/Activate.aspx
once that was done I had the activate phone thing come up and dial out with verizons horrid music..
But I bought mine used lil over a month ago, from cowboom for 150$. (might not be a great deal, but was with AT&T before, 2g towers locally = max of about 150MB used a month, and miserable lol)

You are using a Droid x2 on Page Plus Cellular? I've been looking to go prepaid but most prepaid networks that allow you to bring in other carrier's phones (the X2 is Verizon's) require that it be a GSM phone so you can use the new carriers SIM card. The X2 is a CDMA phone, and they don't make a GSM version. I'm curious how you got it working, because Verizon is driving me nuts and I'm looking to switch.
---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------
I did a ton of research on trying to bring my X2 to a prepaid network, and on all the networks I checked it couldn't be done. Then again I've never heard of Page Plus so maybe they can. I looked at Simple Mobile, Boost, and Straight Talk and they all require a GSM phone if you want to bring in your own.
page plus resell only verizon services. so cdma only.

I'm on page plus too. Root isn't needed nor any flashing involved. Just activate on their site or call in. Doesn't even need clear esn.

Definitely has to have a clean esn in order for any vzw device to be on PagePlus.
I gave my X2 to my roommate so he could set it up with page plus. He's coming from straight talk. They couldn't get the X2 to activate. Do you guys think the problem could be from the X2 or more likely from somewhere else?

K. I'm not ready for a new carrier just yet.. I use roam control strictly for voice since here at my house I get really crappy service. Roaming allows me to make calls even in my basement. (as opposed to having to have my phone next to a window to get service)
If you are stateside you may qualify for a free airave. Must call Sprint and complain about poor service. Oh and have decent broadband connection.

I've been on sprint since 1997. So i'll call and see if that's an option. They better offer me that seeing as I've had at least 3 lines with them for over 7 years now.

Softbank Wants A $23 Billion Loan To Buy 70% Of Sprint

The transaction is expected to close in mid-2013, subject to a meeting of Sprint shareholders, and the usual FCC and antitrust approval, as well as SoftBank's ability to secure financing. In the event that it can't raise the necessary cash or if Sprint gets a better offer, the Japanese carrier will have to cough up $600 million in termination fees. Likewise, Sprint will have to pay $75 million if its shareholders don't approve the transaction.

Ok so now that I got my AT&T ONE unlocked, Which prepaid carrier has the best performing data and plays nice with our phones?
I'm thinking of getting out of my contract if I find a carrier that has decent performing data. But of course this could be a moot point, from what I heard AT&T's coming out with new prepaid plans.

Where did you get your unlock code? I'm in Canada with a Rogers Wireless HTC One and I'm limited with 1GB of data where I used to have 3GB with Virgin Mobile. I'm thing about going back to Virgin.

I'm using my-q which apparently is now owned by wind. I'm not sure if they do. But with my particular prepaid service you can add Internet bundles online so technically you could just use the money you put on your sim to replenish your data instead of adding more minutes.
