Simple Mobile - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

How is Simple Mobile on ur att Note?
im really thinking of changing to them since i pay almost 100$ a month for ATT and i only have 450 mins and 3gb of data
i see they have 40 and 50 a month unlimited plans... how the speed on the 40$ a month vs 50$ a month on ur note?
who do they use for towers? T-Mobile or ATT?
and does anyone have them in Honolulu? whats ur average speed?
Mahalo

Speeds vary in different areas and they run on T-Mobiles towers on there up to 42 HSPA+. I'm cool here in so cal with my t989 but then again its a 42hspa device not that I'll ever come close but my vids never buffer no more than a second. I get about 10 Mbps. The plan is worth it though 50$ (they lowered it from 60$) for unlimited talk text and 2gb of 4g data. T-Mobile was charging me 60$ for the same plan so I switched. Sounds to me like ur on a ripoff plan and if I was u I would switch. Over 100$ is way too much

I Bought my Galaxy S3 fully unlocked and just used payg. But im on 3 myself and get the same amount of Mins/txts/data.

Hi mate, decent deal. I've got an S3 on T-Mobile and I'm paying £26 per month... Free phone, Unlimited text, 300 mins, 750mb data.. bought from web with cashback every few months, totaling to around £24 per month. Decent deal, for £28 I could've got 600 mins, unlimited data, unlimited text from orange from the web also.. So you could've got a better network with more mins at same price :s PM me if you've not activated the sim and you could give back and get a better contract :good:
M concern was not to have to deal with the cashback hastle... I have read a lot of bad reviews people having great difficulties redeeming these special redemptions and cashback offer, for this reason I just decided to hit the nail on the head and ignore these nonsense deals. Another reason I went for Three was because they will soon be getting the 4G network aswell as EE as they have bought some of their stuff. Im hoping I will soon be able to have unlimited 4g on my Galaxy S3!
What do you think?
I got myself a 2000 minutes, unlimited texts and internet plan for £31

Hmmm, I have seen an offer very similar to this but they want £29 upfront which actually makes it about £32.20 a month. I was very tempted by a £26 a month offer from T Mobile with 1.5 gb of data but I just think that nothing beats unlimited data plan, especially with Three where they do not actually slow down speeds, I believe they just give out warnings.

Shame the current S3 isn't 4G compatible then isn't it?? I'd cancel and wait for the new upcoming version with 2GB ram, and 4G enabled I got mine on vodafone, unlimited texts, 1000 mins, and 3 month unlimited data test drive (no usage cap whatsoever) for £30pm

4G will not be free of charge and definitely not unlimited.
I got a LTE version of GS3 from Orange with unlimited Mins, texts, Internet 2 swapables and some other goodies for £33 and not to mention orange insurance policy is amazing.
Yeah it's pretty good I get 750 mind 150" texts and unlimited data for £30 a month (IM on talk mobile which is essentially Vodafone). U do know 4g won't b about till next year other than on EE.

[Q] Convert VZW Note II to T-Mobile?

My wife and I are considering switching to T-Mobile when our Verizon contract runs out in June (tired of paying $100+ more a month for Verizon, especially since I have a funny feeling our grandfathered unlimited is on borrowed time). Right now I'm running an unlocked, rooted VZW Note II running CleanROM 4.5. Is there a way to permanently flash the phone over to T-Mobile (radios) if we decide? I really want the AWS bands so I'm not gimped with EDGE speeds as I am today (running the VZW radios/firmware).
So...is this possible?
Thanks!
No not really. You could try this link below. I've pmed the Dev (i pulled the Verizon qcn he needed) and he said it may work, but if not just restore the backup you make before.
Having said that I'm making the same switch and I've decide to sell my note, buy at mobile one under contract,(200 on there website right now) then pay the 200 to switch to a value plan.
So I'll pay 400 for a t mobile note and have the 50 unlimited plan. I can easily sell mine for 500 to 550 so I'll make 100 bucks

South Carolina and they're fine here. Obviously not as good as Verizon, but i stay in the city 90 percent and on my wife's t mobile note they're great. In NC she had better signal then I did. On a plus side they're customer service is a million times better then Verizon could dream about being. I'd switch just for that

Bid on a new Verizon Note II for $470. So how does the T-Mobile purchase & ETF work? As far as I remember you will need to pay tax over full price (not discounted) plus tax for ETF as well. Please let me know how it goes (actually money you'll need to spend for your plan). Thanks.
verizon's note II will accept a t-mobile microsim and work as a phone right away. you'll have to root it to add the proper apn for edge data, and you'll get t-mobiles 3g on the farmed 1900 bands.
here in SoCal, i get 3g about 70% of the time

So aside from being locked into 2g if you aren't in a reframed 19900 band location does txt and mms work normally? Im primarily on wifi 95% of the time and switching out to TMO would save me over $100/mo for 2 lines I have with VZW. I popped in a TMO microsim but it wasnt an active one the network so all I got was the "welcome to tmobile" prompt for programming.

Yes it is possible to take your Note 2 from VZW to T-Mobile, Switched weeks ago
Yes it is possible, I've been running on a T-Mobile custom ROM now for the last 8 weeks and going back & forth between VZW and Solavei (T-Mobile).I have been running the Tweaked 1.5 and just recently it updated to Tweaked 1.6 both are for the T-Mobile Note2 sch-T889.
It has been flawless and I never pass up the opportunity to brag about this and show it off to both Verizon customers and T-Mobile customers
as well. The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is the best Android handset I've ever owned... It will a pretty Awesome Android handset to even come close to the Note2's abilities and excellent engineering.. So a huge Thank You to Samsung and hey "Verizon Suck It" your rule of consumer manipulation and robbery will come to an end one day.... Jerks

Oops missed this. I paid 278 plus tax at Walmart then 200 fee plus tax so like 500 for a brand new phone.
We did great for my wife. 278 plus tax, but got a50 gift card. Then 200 fee, but called them and they waived it. Something about a remorse wave. So 250 basically. I'm waiting for my bill with fee to see if theyll do it again.
By the way with my discount I pay 85 for unlimited everything! Coverage is no where near Verizon, but what do you expect. But the big issue is wifi calling. In the hospital I work no one gets service, but me!

How did your wife get such a great deal? Could you please share some technique to let them waive the ETF? If that works then I'll definitely grab one or two. Thanks.
The gift card was just a promo Walmart was running. There fee there really isn't atip. When my first bill came in it had the 200 fee, and two months of service (done weird way it billed after getting my discount put on).
I just called and explained I switched from Verizon to save money and asked if they could discount some of these fees. I was hoping for activation fee waived and maybe a small percent off. Instead she said she could refund the 200

And the 50 dollar unlimited only gives you 500 mb data. Realistically unlimited talk, text, and data will be 70 a month. Or you can get 2.5 gigs of data for 60 per line. I just left t-mobile, be prepared that your service will not work indoors in a lot of places as they don't not have. Low frequency like Verizon and att. Plus you will run into a lot of dead zones if you travel. Otherwise it is a really cheap plan. I just can't stand paying for a phone and unable to use it for half a day.

Even though this thread is like, 6 months old, I thought I would add my .02.
I recently purchased a GoPhone sim for AT&T prepaid. $60 month unlimited talk/text & 2gb data. I am getting HSPA+ speeds with my Verizon GN2. While it is NOWHERE near the LTE speeds I get on Verizon, it is also 1/2 the cost. plus, if needed, I can purchase extra data at $10 per gig. I average 2-3gb per month now, & my plan with unlimited data, 900 texts & 1000 minutes is $112.
If I sell my Verizon phone & buy a AT&T N2, I will get LTE with GoPhone.
Tried tmobile for 3 hours with a brand new note 2 and demanded refund. The service was awful... I mean horrible. Picked up a used note 2 and stayed with vzw. Worst phone experience ever. Run far away from tmobile.

Considering switch from t-mobile to verizon, give your basic thoughts

I have the t-mobile unlimited everything plan I'm paying $93 a month with tax. I'm not really into the crap t-mobile is pulling. They may get their act together in a couple of years from now. Realistically i want to buy my phone outright instead of being locked into a contract while maintaining a non prepaid account. On average I use about 2-3.5 gbs of data a month. Also I may in fact buy a phone at a discounted rate whichever plan monthly makes more sense. I'm also looking at sprint. ATT coverage is not great in my area. T-mobiles is so is verizon's. So what do you think?
Maybe its late at night but im not sure on what your trying to ask. Tmobile switched up how their plans work, you pretty much buy the phone out right (or pay like $200 down and $20 a month until the phone is paid off) and the plans have no contract, your contract is paying off the phone. For unlimited everything at $93 is not bad at all, going to verizon you will not have unlimited data unless you where grandfathered into it. I like verizon's cell reception a lot more than other companies including tmobile (i use to be on t-mobile). may i ask what kind of crap they are giving you?
I just switched from t mobile to Verizon on sunday. I do pay like $5 more a month for 3 line then what I did for 4 but the coverage is better along with call clarity. So far I am happy with the decision the only warning I have is if you get the S4 from verizon do not accept the OTA update stay on MDK. I didn't know that untill after the fact.
The update to my understanding locks the bootloader so you can't flash a custom recovery but u can still root and it drains the battery.
Hope this helps u with ur decision

+1 on Verizon...switched from Sprint unlimited and I have a 6GB plan. only kicks in when not on wifi....at home and work most of the time..
I have 3 family members on verizon share everything with a 10 gb limit.
It runs me 250 a month (got insurance on all phones).
Daughter streams a lot, first day sucked down 800 mbs of data in the car. That stopped immediately. No streaming is the rule at the present but at this point between all 3 phones and 20 days into the service we're about 2.5 gb total. So there's definitely a happy medium there. We can hotspot also, but my other daughter just streams netflix and the like.
So really, I might go for the 15 gb plan which would be another 50 bucks and probably not worry too much about streaming.
I recently switched from Tmobile using the nexus 4 and have to say Verizon makes T-mobile look pathetic, my data and voice are so much better now T-mobile is for people with bad credit lol

ATT data special

I just switched from 4gb to 10gb data for a few dollars more. They have a special going on for the 10gb. $100 +15 each line. Att rocks
I live in a Major metropolitan area.
I pay 70 bucks a month for T-Mobile which is comparable to ATT here (Phoenix area which is big for T-MO).
I get unlimited everything with no throttling. Last month I used about 10GB w/o a hiccup (I may have been going ROM crazy and bypassing all the WIFI restrictions on downloads since I was at work...lol). ROM - LOAD - TEST FOR 2 DAYS - WIPE - NEW ROM - LOAD - REPEAT
T-MO wins.

Yeah, I've been debating on moving to this plan since it rolled out. I currently have the unlimited data plan, 700 minutes to share between two phones with a rollover bank of about 7000 minutes since we rarely use more than a hundred combined, and unlimited texts and mms. I've been hesitant to switch because, while we are generally under 10 gigs, I sometimes get a little data crazy and we reach between 12-15 gigs combined. Do you know what they charge for overages per gig? Also, I assume that includes unlimited calls and texts? TIA for your reply

Overages is $15 a gb if you go over. If you let them know before you go over you can change your plan to higher data for $10 a gig more. Just go with the 10gb. That should be sufficient enough for 2 people. My wife and i have it we are on separate accounts. Just got it today and im happy that i dont have to worry about going over. Plus if you both are on the same contract you save a lot.
I just went from the 4gb plan on FAM share with 2 phones total. Went on the site to see what its about under my account and it showed my contract was 4gb for 150. It showed I could change to 10gb for 130. I definitely don't use near 10 unless I'm away from WiFi and still don't use near 10 but better to be on the safe side. I read all the fine print and hoopla and I saw nothing of extra charges or drawbacks. Took the 10gb and as I see so far a cheaper bill and more gigs. I see win win.

Aw, I looked to see if I could upgrade my data plan on my ancient non-existent plan and nope. Ah well.
Eventually one of the newer plans might make more sense, but every time I've done the math in the past, it turns out to be more expensive.
This is the mobile share value plan. If you're out of contract or you have your own phone, you get the 15 dollar pricing instead of 40. Its nothing special tbh

to me its worth it $130 phone bill for 10gb of data. and the data is crazy fast with att. ive measured a friends phone at work with speedtest and he hits 8mb/s on verizon,my old tmobile was at 7mb/s and with att ive hit 40mb/s. thats high speed data. ITS WORTH IT!!

[Q] T-MO pricing plans

I've been with AT&T for many years now and have not kept up with the TMO pricing structure.
With AT&T, my Unlimited Data (grandfathered) with partner discount comes out to ~$75/month. With a new two year contract, I pay $200 for premium phones and get to keep them after my two years are up.
But TMO's pricing has me really confused. Looks like you don't pay $200, but instead you pay the same amount of money for the plan itself, in my case, probably $70-$80 after partner discount (for unlimited data). Then another $27/month for 24 months for the phone, instead of paying $200 up front.
The thing is, with AT&T that $200 divided by 24 months is only $8. So TMO's $27/month is $440 more expensive at the end of the 24 months?
That's take interesting. I never got that price getting AT&T and I heard they didn't let anyone keep unlimited data anyone.
That is a better plan then what T-Mobile can offer as long as when you go to upgrade they let you keep it.
Typically with newer plans and things like that they make you change if you want to get a discount with a new device and contract. That's how they made a lot of changes the past. Forcing a change when you try to get a new contract.

I've upgraded phones a few times on my AT&T unlimited plan and haven't had an issue yet.
They did threaten to kill the plan about 1.5 years ago when they "caught me tethering", which was kind of weird. But nothing ever came of it.
I use between 1.5GB and 8GB per month, with an average of ~3GB over the last year.

I have been on the unlimited plan from the MotoQ, then Samsung Galaxy S1 Captivate, S2, S3, and S4 and have never list my Grandfathered Unlimited Plan. Every year it would be the same rumor that we would lose the grandfathered unlimited data but it never happened. We are basically just extending our contract another 2 years at a time. My contract/plan remains the same. I have 4 lines, 3 smartphone plans. But mine is the only grandfathered unlimited data. My other 2 smart phones have the 2Gb data. My bill is about $200 a month or just over (depending on how much the other phones go over their data limit).

You're still on AT&T?
Check out the new family plans.
Some good prices in there.
Makes me consider going with the 10GB plan instead of unlimited. I've never once hit 10GB in ~4-5 years.
I don't want to stay with AT&T though, due to locked boot-loader BS.

I have thought about it but I use on a normal basis about 10 Gbs a month just on my Unlimited data phone, and usually one if not both of the other phones with their 2Gb plans go over a gig or so.
Even with getting throttled at 5 Gb's I tend to use another 5Gb or more at the slow download/upload speeds. I can still download/upload Roms and themes just takes longer, still stream music, check on XDA and other websites with no issues while throttled. About the only thing that gets affected is watching/streaming movies or videos. Also what I can usually do is swap my Sim into my S3 and then not be throttled for another 3GBs. So not sure I could SHARE only 10Gb a month. Thanks for the suggestion though.
And all this because my only option for Home network is ATT DSL so it is always slow as heck. May switch to cable ONLY for internet at some point though. No Uverse or fiber optic type data in my housing tract.

Wow, ATT is throttling you?
They haven't done that to me in forever.
But the, I rarely go over 5GB.
Anyone know if TMO throttles download speeds on the unlimited data plan?

I have thought about it but I use on a normal basis about 10 Gbs a month just on my Unlimited data phone, and usually one if not both of the other phones with their 2Gb plans go over a gig or so.
Even with getting throttled at 5 Gb's I tend to use another 5Gb or more at the slow download/upload speeds. I can still download/upload Roms and themes just takes longer, still stream music, check on XDA and other websites with no issues while throttled. About the only thing that gets affected is watching/streaming movies or videos. Also what I can usually do is swap my Sim into my S3 and then not be throttled for another 3GBs. So not sure I could SHARE only 10Gb a month. Thanks for the suggestion though.
And all this because my only option for Home network is ATT DSL so it is always slow as heck. May switch to cable ONLY for internet at some point though. No Uverse or fiber optic type data in my housing tract.

No throttling on Unlimited Nationwide 4G plan. I use about 30-35gigs per month all at LTE speeds.

Wow, ATT is throttling you?
They haven't done that to me in forever.
But the, I rarely go over 5GB.

Yes Att throttles at 5Gb for the unlimitwd grandfathered plan. It was one reason why it was nice going from the S3 (throttled at 3Gb) to the S4 LTE (Throttked at 5Gb).

Correct. It's $20 for Unlimited LTE data, no caps, and you get 2.5GB at LTE speeds for tethering.

Thanks.
Now just time to wait and see if the bootloader is actually locked. Damn shame if it is

But now that's a grandfathered in plan. If you drop it (or are a new customer) and want Unlimited LTE with no caps, its $30 and 5GB of tethering.

Honestly T-Mobile only saves you money if you bring your own device. If you finance a phone you're already up there with AT&T.
Plan starts at $50
Add $30 for unlimited data
$10 for jump
$23-29.50 for your phone.
I switched the day before the old $20 unlimited plan was removed and brought my nexus 5 so it did end up saving me money but most people want to get a shiny new phone.
