Is there a pre-paid data only plan that I would be able to use with the nexus 4? I am in the US and AT&T is the only carrier with 3G where I am. Are there actual data-only plans that use AT&T towers that I could use? If not, would there be a way that I could use a prepaid tablet data plan from AT&T? Thanks
I believe straight talk also has data only plans, but not sure if they will work on a phone. Their phone plans are way better than ATT though, and you get same ATT towers/service.

T-Mobile has a 5gb, unl Text and like 100min plan for $30. you get some mins but not alot. You also get T-Mobiles 42 Mbps HSPA+ as well.
That at&t/straight talk may work. I only get edge on T-Mobile in the whole state of Maine so T-Mobile won't work.

Although I don't really need voice/texting and would rather not pay if I don't need to

AT&T themselves have a prepaid tablet plan: http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/plans/dataplans.html
I wonder if they allow that on the Nexus 4. You'd probably have to change APN.

I was looking at that one. You have to give them your IMEI number and I don't have a tablet to do that.

Go into an AT&T store and surreptitiously snoop the IMEI of one of their Android tabs?

Those are more expensive than Tmobile's prepaid plans.... and they include texting at calls. Dafuq?

AT&T is more expensive than T-Mobile. A lot more, usually.

And like I said earlier I can't use T-Mobile because they have terrible service in the whole state of Maine. If I could get AT&T's 3gb $30 tablet plan to work I'd be a happy camper.

Yes, as pointed out upthread, all comparisons to T-Mobile are irrelevant because T-Mobile is not an option for the OP.
I think I'll got to an AT&T store today and snoop on the tablet IMEI numbers. That is unless someone wants to give me one of theirs, preferably not one registered on AT&T. Why do I have to go through so much trouble just to get a data only plan?!

I can give you the IMEI of my T-Mobile Springboard but there's no guarantee AT&T will like it.

I can't find a straight talk data-only plan, could you give me a link to it?
Hello.
I have a L720 with a active vzw sim card and the phone is running cm11 but it says roaming in the status bar but the phones 3g and phone and texting works. Is there a way to get it to say 3g of lte up there? A better rom maybe? I have searched and there is no one that has this phone on vzw. Any help would be so nice! Thanks
Have a great night.
I'm pretty sure Verizon and sprint use different spectrums for LTE you'll get 3g but no lte

OK but the phone should have the right stuff but what about the prl and roaming thing?

Yeah sprint galaxy s4 has the bands for T-Mobile and Att 3g and hspa+ networks Verizon I have no clue which bands they use you'd be better off just trading in and getting a Verizon phone to get their speeds

I agree, if you are paying the premium for Verizon service I would just get the Verizon version of the phone.

Thanks this is not my phone just was testing it that's all lol thanks again! The friend that owns this is going to try it on t mobile next but the first time they tried it did not work only data worked for some crazy reason voice and texting came on and went off so we will try that latter.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
I have looked all over and I just want to make sure. I am thinking of switching from vzw to attend for the family share pan they have running now. Will I be able to get LTE, hspa, etc. Just as if I had an att version? If so is there anything special I need to do to get it working?

Hello, I'm going over to Canada for a couple of days and had some general questions...
First, does Canada have prepaid options? I'm mostly needing data services. Where can I buy them and what is reliable / easiest to use? I'll be going to Vancouver from Washington state.
My phone is rooted, so if Canada has prepaid options available, is the phone unlocked so I can just switch out sim cards?
Thank you~
For couple days..eh..i would've said use Google voice grooveIP or talkatone.along with wifi...but if you buy tmobile.sim which I believe works with Canada tmobile network you should be fine...i mean couple.days...

Nice. So I'm assuming my verizon note 3 doesn't have to be unlocked? Just pop in the new sim card and it will work?
..
Yes the phone is unlocked already..and as a matter of fact I. Just left Verizon for at&t prepaid...been working good so far for more than a week now. ..save myself $60 a month...

I'm thinking of switching to tmobile, does anyone know if our device will fully work on their network?
Also, does anyone know of any sprint phones I can purchase today that will work fully on their network, even any iphones possible.
There's whole thread on how to unlock the Gs4 for T-Mobile so yes. And search more.

No not fully, you will not get LTE. Sell your Sprint phone on EBay or Craig's list and buy a Tmobile phone for full functionality.
