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 paying $70 a month with unlimited Canada wide, unlimited SMS/MMS and 1GB data is too much. I only need 200 minutes of talk time but I like a lot of data.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sadly today I got rid of my beloved Note. before my trial period expired I made the decision to cut ties with it. not because it was a bad phone but because of 2 issues. 1) the high price of AT&T phone service and the lack of unlimited data plan. I came from sprint 13 days ago and could not stand looking at my data usage and my first bill scare me. so I returned back to Sprint with my new S3. Love the service on AT&T. I think is the best so far. but not at a cost AT&T want it. so,,, good bye Note!!! :crying::crying:. one more thing,,,,, THANK YOU ALL AT THE NOTE FORUM FOR YOUR SUPPORT AT ROOTING,UNROOTING AND ROM FLASHING YOU ARE THE BEST AT THIS COMMUNITY XDA-DEVELOPERS ROCK!!!!!!
understandable...hate to see you leave but it is pricey. I, too, pay about 45 dollars more a month for att but I couldnt stand sprints service in my area. the trade off for me is worth it for now. plus, i love my note. it IS the main reason I came to att. be cool man. youll be missed...
Me too men. The Note was the reason I switch to AT&T. But I'll be watching for the Note2!!!!

So far AT&T is the best network. I tryed Cingular,Sprint,AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon. Here the best in order in my opinion are AT&T and Sprint. I tried Verizon but lost Data connection at home!!! So after 2 days I canceled my contact.

I was told in NYC they are turning all the old payphones into wifi hotspots. I was wondering if there is any truth to that or if that already happened? If that is the case you would never need to have a data plan.
Certainly understand. I spent years w/Sprint (not always enjoyable) BUT switched to AT&T when I got the iPhone3g when it came out.
I'd love to try Sprint again...maybe they will get a Note.
HAVE FUN with the S3 (even though it is tiny).

Straight Talk's $45 Unlimited Plan works well for us and it uses AT&T towers here. I use it on my Note. We use them for hot spots and haven't had any problems there either.

Hey guys,
I'm traveling to Greece for our honeymoon and want to be able to use my cell phone without paying Verizon's crazy international rates. I'm running Scott's CleanRom on Verizon. Can I simply buy a Vodafone prepaid Sim, pop it in, click add APN, add all the appropriate info for the access point, and then all good to go? I read imnuts post regarding this but am a little confused. Hopefully someone can help! Thanks in advance.

That is correct. I recently did this with a Telus prepaid SIM, and worked just fine. Granted, I was using Beans18, but your method should still be correct.
In Greece right now and did just that! I only had to add an apn for data use. Really loving that I can do that with this phone.

What provider did you get the sum from? Do they have a data only sim?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
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.

As a brit I have no first hand knowledge on this, but I believe AT&T use different LTE bands to those supported by the Mega, so there won't be any LTE support but you should get some sort of signal.
Various news sites have reported that AT&T are going to release a custom variant of the mega, which will obviously work fine. So it may be worth waiting for that?
"AT&T says it will start selling it Friday for $150 with a two-year service contract. It's also coming to Sprint and U.S. Cellular."

Since its unlocked unbranded ATT assumes its a dumb phone, hence I am eligible to use the 10$ medianet unlimited plan (need the $30 messaging unlimited plan for the $10 medianet otherwsie medianet is $15)
If ATT does detect my unlocked unbranded phone they only do so at the start of each billing cycle. All I have to do is swap my sim into an ATT dumbphone and revert back to medianet unlimited on OLAM or over the phone. Then I swap back into my unlocked phone and I'm good for another month.

I've been playing this game for 9 years lol. I've saved quite a bit on data ($10 vs $30 a month) I save $240 bucks a year, over two years thats $480 which I then apply towards a new unlocked unbranded device.
If they offered a 1GB $10 a month data plan then I would go legit and even buy/upgrade devices through at&t. They like to screw you on data as the cheapest data plan they offer is 200MB for $15. That's just disrespectful lol.
Bottom line, even if AT&T gives me a brand new high end smart phone for FREE that means I have to pay $20 more dollars a month for data. I would still lose even if they give me a free flagship phone. They make their money on the inflated data plan.
