I think the true unlimited , $20 bucks extra if youre on the value plan, comes with 500mb to tether but yes, after that you will get charged, and I think there are some roms here that take care of that

is there a prepaid(daily/weekly) 3G service in the USA
that will work with the Touchapd?
I do not own a cell phone, so hotspot tethering is out
of the question.
THanks!
You can get a mifi for any national carrier.
Virgin Mobile is the cheapest and slowest but has plans that are less than a month like you described.
Verizon is the fastest and most expensive.

T-Mobile has a pay as you go 4G hotspot a well. But remember that 4G is not everywhere and their device does not do 3G.
One problem you will have with any carrier is you have to pay $100-$150 for the device, as well as the cost of the data plan.

i have an LG Optimus V (rooted with cm7) w/Virgin Mobile and it allows me to create a wifi network using my 3G connection. i have the basic plan which is 300 minutes (i hate talking on cell phones) and unlimited data/text for $25 a month. can't beat that. i use that w/my touchpad all the time. aside from draining my cell battery faster than normal, it's pretty solid. used it on my trip to montreal from nyc while using google maps on the touchpad.
edit: appears it's $35 now for the min plan.
Thanks guys! Looks like I'm getting a virgin. (Virgin Mobile MiFi, that is... )
Has anybody with an ATT Atrix 4G and grandfathered unlimited plan from the hay days moved on to an LTE device (i.e. Note II) and have kept their unlimited plan with LTE?
I'm still on my grandfathered iPhone 2G (yeah i know, lesson learned) plan that was "upgraded" to 3G and was looking to upgrade my phone in the near future. But wasn't sure if I could still hang on to my unlimited. I still have my Atrix, but being stuck on gb and no HWA on ICS/JB.. it's kind of a bummer.
I upgraded my phone to a Moto Atrix HD and kept my Unlimited data. The phone is 4G LTE and works great. So Yes is your answer.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Hopefully this phone will last me until some of those hyped devices come out

I recently upgraded my wife's phone from a Samsung Cappy (3g) to the SG III (LTE) and her unlimited plan transferred just fine.

If I wanted to take my ELTE and switch to Verizon's pre-paid plan do kneed to do anything special with the phone? I want to hold off getting a contract plan until the nexus 5 comes out.

I already am root and I'm already running on Verizon's 3g but still with sprint. Its switching to vz full time I'm wondering how to do
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
You won't be able to use their LTE no matter what you do short of getting a VZ device... So why bother even trying to keep the evo

Im not really concerned with 4g per se. I'm wanting to go ATT but really feel the phone I want is the Nexus 5 based on the rumors. I like my evo 4g because of its camera. Honestly right now it is plenty fast for everything. In running meanbean on it and there doesn't appear to be anything I can't handle just fine.
I hate sprints service so I flashed the Verizon prl and after putting 5gb on it this week I should be getting terminated before too long.
ill need a service to jump on and Verizon's month to month is $70 with 2gb. That should be plenty for me. ATTs month to month sucks and I dont care for their phones right now. My goal is the Nexus 5 anyway. I'd rather just use verizons monthly with my current phone. Just depends how things work out. I also get 22% off Verizon plans so hoping that translates to a good deal.

The problem is getting Verizon's system to recognize a Sprint phone. You can take GSM phones from carrier to carrier because all you have to do is transfer the SIM card, but that doesn't work with CDMA carriers since there's no SIM card. You'd actually have to get Verizon to provision a Sprint phone for their system, and somehow I don't see them doing that.

Even if you could swap Sims it wouldn't help ya as the device itself is not provisioned to work on all of VZ freq.... Namely LTE... Lot more to how devices connect than the SIM cards...

Call verizon customer service tell them you want to open a prepaid account and port the phone and they will help you. See the only real difference between the verizon 4g phones and sprint are the lack of sim card and imei. But you can still program it to work on verizons network. All customer service agents aren't the same by the way. So if one doesn't know how to help you then another one will and you will get your phone on their. Also if you take a look in this same section this really cool guy wrote a guide on flashing a evo 4g lte to verizon prepaid.

That was my point. Sprint and Verizon are both CDMA providers and it's not as simple as just swapping out the SIM like you can do when you move from one GSM provider to another (e.g. AT&T to TMobile).

as long as you can get verizon to accept the ESN number your good. verizon has been known to be more accepting of sprint ESNs than visa versa. Though you will not get anything higher than 3g which will top out around 3-5mbps. Also you have to get the phone to accept verizon prls but i think someone has a guide for that..signal should be good though paying 70 for prepaid verizon 2gb i'd rather just get tmobile at 30$ for 5gb of AWS signal just pick up a sony xperia Z

You'll never get 3-5mbps using Verizon 3g. More like 1-2. Still way better than Sprint 3g though.

Was on the verge of switching to AT&T until Verizon new announcement that they will carry the ONE. My question is for all that are here. What is the average data usage with the One? I have unlimited on 2 lines with Verizon and if something happens to my unlimited I'm leaving.

The best thing you can do is to look at your prior data use on vzw.com. Some people use a ton of data, some not so much.
I did this when I switched from Verizon to AT&T and found I only average 3gb. Losing unlimited was no big deal after seeing that.
Research your own use and see how it looks. Switching to AT&T actually saved me a bundle.

I just switched from tmobile unlimited found out I rarely go over 2g so I should be good for 3. And I like att plans got 450 anytime minutes with unlimited cell phone to cell phone no matter the carrier and unlimited text. Almost all my calls are to it from a cell phone so I thought that was cool phone bill should be less then 100

For Verizon, to keep your unlimited you will have to purchase your phone at FULL price. Otherwise, to get a contract price you will have to switch to their 4G LTE plans.
As for how much data the phone uses, that really depends on how often you are around WiFi.

That is like not having unlimited data plan if they will force you to pay extra to keep your plan unlimited.

Love the Evo 3D community so looking forward to hearing any responses. I'm getting very close to buying a new phone and since I've been off contract with Virgin Mobile am thinking of switching carriers as well as Virgin Mobile is just too spotty in my area.
I wanted to hear any feedback anyone wants to share about picking my next device and carrier within the next two weeks. My current frontrunner is the Note 3 on T-Mobile. I'm not concerned with screen size being too large, etc but was wondering after moving from this phone what others would recommend if making a purchase within the next week or so. I'm also torn between the Nexus 5 and LG G2 for either Sprint or T-Mobile which seems very similar to the Nexus 5 and comes with a much better camera. Any thoughts or mistakes being made?
H2o wireless.
$30 for unlimited talk/text with 500mb data with a nexus 5 may be my next move.

Check out ting, or freedompop. Both run off sprints network but are at least half the price on average.
