Is simple mobile data better than t-mobile? Is it really unlimited and stays at 4g with no cap?

No. It has a 5GB cap.

There is defiantly a 1 Gb cap and I went through the Mytouch 3G, Mytouch slide and Mytouch4G while with them and always had problems with mms messages it's like if the picture size was to big it was a problem receiving pictures.
Never heard of simple mobile is it like tmobile ?
I had a mytouch4g. I loved the phone but hated the service from T-Mobile. I would get no bars of 3g in my home. I couldn't browse the web or download apps without getting on my wifi. Calls were dropped all the time. It would also take hours to send and receive pictures. I got fed up and got a phone with Verizon and I'm loving the reception.

It's a MVNO using T-Mobile's network.
I been with simple mobile for about 6months now and there is no data cap regardless of what some people believe.
But if you use up too much bandwidth with apps like Netflix they will throttle you back to 2g .
I'm always streaming music or on the net or on YouTube and I haven had any issue with that.just don't use Netflix or any app similar or any bittorrent or tethering and you will be fine.

There speeds are the same as T-mobile but 1 thing I totally forgot if you use data to fast they will throttle you instantly 1 month I was on a flashing spree and instead of restoring my apps on wifi I was doing it on the network. They throttled me with a little over 1Gb of use they figured I was using my phone as a Hot spot and would not unthrottle me after I called to complain and tell them I was leaving.

I had the HTC HD2 with Tmobile and would wifi tether all the time. Heck, I was using it to wifi tether just last week.
Now I just got the Mytouch 4G and it doesnt work. I called Tmobile and they said I have to pay $15 a month. WTF? I am new to this phone so I wanted to know if anyone has a work around for this. I DO NOT want to flash a custom rom. I rooted and I'm happy, just need to wifi tether.
Thanks
They did this months ago. Just takes while to get busted. Mine still works. Theres a sticky some where here for a work around. Would give you a link but I'm using my phone to post.

Thought they blocked by detecting something in the data being sent/received? If what you posted works thats cool was just wondering because I'll be using it once I'm blocked

Have a work around. Wifi thether for root users. Its an app that works great and have been using it for over an hour now.

Have you ever been blocked? I know when I had my cliq xt using this app I was fine for about a month and they started redirecting me to the sign up data tethering page. There is something in settings you can change to avoid that page. The steps were here on xda but can find it now.
Let us know how it goes.

Did some reading. Guess there going off of usage. Like when I was using it with my cliq(thinking it was still free) I was a heavy user for a month got a text from tmobile saying it could be blocked with the right plan. 2 days later is when I got redirected to the sign up page.
So think as long as we don't over use it we can get away with not having to get the 15 add on.

I have a rooted mt4g and wifi tether was not working. Instead of istalling the new beta versions, install the old version for htc's only and it should work.
Hey all simple question to see if this has happened to anyone else. A couple of days ago I got the dreaded you are now throttled text. However, my data speed hasn't changed one lil bit. I haven't implemented any throttle mods or anything like that. Has anybody else ever experienced this?
Yeah, quite a few people experience that. The throttle seems to be hit or miss. If you read the defunct throttle fix thread, you'll see a lot of folks don't get throttled at all even though they get the text. I get throttled at exactly 5gb now, text or not. I'm jealous of you.

I think some major cities have different ways of throttling because when I'm throttled I'm at 5 or 6 down and 1 up and sometimes it doesn't happen

You could always just use less than 2GB. That works for me. \troll
No. They do have other data options though. As well as 2GB there are also 5GB & 10GB options.... I have the 5GB option on my Nexus S and the 10GB option on my Sensation.....

Seems like you already got what you need but I was in the same boat 2 days ago and came up with two different files, both labeled for sprint and both didn't break anything when I tried them. Any one got an idea of the difference and which is actually the 'preferred' one to use?

I'm on cm7 1.2 nightly with ronin kernel 4 and using roam control newest apk and data works sometimes takes up to a minute to connect. If its quirky I can get 3g on spring then hit roam and 3g picks up fast using 1115 and roaming. Also I couldn't get reliable 3g roaming unitl I moved to the ronin kernel

It works... you have to go in settings for network and enable both national and international roaming. Atleast that's the way it was a month ago.
Or ur in an area where verizon data is on a different feq that sprint phones don't support. I've seen it a lit in Florida...

Where did you find this and how much data do you pull per month? I'm curious about this as I'd like to be able to do something similar, but I don't want to raise any red flags and get a kind 'GTFO' message from Sprint because I roam too much.
Also, since I'm usually in an area with 4G, would I be able to still use it if I'm on the same PRL you are?
" I'm now on prl 00001. Permaroamed to vzw. 3g speeds are 4x that of sprint's. "
+ 1 can you post a link/zip. I'll take the chance at getting the boot for faster speeds

Wooot! Nevermind I got data just now by waiting around in the settings menu after using roam control. Wow Verizons 3g speeds are great lol...
