EVO - Lack of 4G Coverage / Switching to Verizon & Unlimited data! - EVO 4G General

Ok so I had an Evo I was excited with the 4G I liked it for a while, but then after a 1 1/2 years the thing started to flake out. Well with my phone flaking out, and very limited 4G coverage I made the switch to Verizon. With one problem, what about unlimited data? I had to have unlimited data. So this is how I got unlimited data! Which wasn't being offered anymore.
Well thanks to XDA I found a super sweet hook up. This guy named VIP Nick got me Unlimited Data on my Verizon account for $30 a month, even though it's not offered anymore! He's one of very few in the country that can hookup accounts with unlimited data. Because he mainly works with Business accounts, and VIP accounts. Though he'll work with individual and family plan accounts too. Which I like because Verizon has a lot better 4G Coverage!
So I thought I'd spread the word to the XDA community if your looking to make the switch and want a new phone and get Unlimited Data email him at
Verizon.Unlimited.data @ g m a i l . c o m
subject - Unlimited Data XDA
I am Very Happy Now!
ThankYOU XDA! I love this site.

That wont last long. As soon as someone higher up the food chain findsout...you are done.

Yes it said unlimited data but eventually you get to the data caps and slow your speed.

Beware unintended consequences...

I told My Coworker about this, as he recently switched to VZW when amazon was giving phones away for a penny, He got a phone call like 10 minutes after sending him an Email and will have unlimited data on his and his wifes phone in the next day or two.

No this guy is legit. His company has an exclusive contract with Verizon. I've talked with Verizon's business department and confirmed it. Everything is good with this hook up! He's hooked up several of my friends too, very professional!

P.S Verizon doesn't throttle speeds it's rumor... Very rarely only in extremely high trafficked area's like the super bowl etc.. I've used 60 gig this past month ran a bit torrent non stop and no throttling, sure a few fluctuations but still very fast.

I cannot beleive this without proof or evidence. Your just trying to lure people in to make commusion.

MetroPCS has a 3G Network???

There are rumors of people in miami getting 3G on their phones. Can someone possibly confirm this? I called Metro directly and found out that there are at least 5 other cities running on 3G.

I was reading another board where folks in Orlando were getting 3g Also read someone in Tampa getting it I upgraded the .prl to 3022 but no luck so far
Moved..............
I also swapped to prl 3022 but nothing happened. I'm so pissed that we don't have 3G in thia area of Florida (Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Naples), you know, I just got the crazy idea of making an online protest against MetroPCS. We should gather a bunch of people from different areas of Florida that do not have 3G coverage and plan on doing something like that. Maybe when we have 1000 people protesting for the same thing and threatening to leave MetroPCS then they'll do something about it. Again just a thought.

What people fail to realize is if 3g is everywhere your bill will go up and you will have a data cap to cover overages and you will end up with a at&t or Verizon situation the reason why metro is so cheap is because there isn't a 3g if you really want speed upgrade to a 4g phone otherwise be patient until they figure out how much data is being used in major cities and if it's worth the extra costs

It will get better. Now MetroPCS has the LG Esteem 4g it is on their site now so soon they should have to upgrade the system to handle usage. I pay 50 a month with metropcs and i still like it better then the contract companies. Also i read today that sprint is no longer doing one year contracts more folks to metro? never know
Metro is a headache to deal with if you have billing issues, but they're cheap and there's no commitment. That's always nice, but it cuts both ways. They can jack up your price whenever they want.
Contracts aren't solely beneficial to the provider. Sometimes they actually help the customer--I'm on contract for 2 years, for two lines, 1000 shared minutes, unlimited SMS/nights/weekends and 2GB data per device for $100.
It's cheaper than what we were paying for two individual Even More Plus plans (though we did lose 3GB of data). And T-Mobile can't change the price without breaking the contract.
My girlfriend has metro and we live in a city with 3g service. It's super spotty. Even in their most well covered areas, she usually still only gets 1x.

How long befcore I get cancelled

I just got my letter today, finally, saying that I am using too much roaming data over the past 6 months and they will be monitoring me. Sprint service absolutely sucks in my area and unless I am on verizon I get crap or no 3g. I don't really feel like waiting till oct 7th to see if maybe (big maybe) my service gets any better.
I pay an extra 10 bucks a month for "premium data" so I should be able to use it!!
I have been waiting to get out of my contract with no ETF for a few months now so I am just curious about how long before they cancel me and will I be able to port my number to verizon once I do get cancelled?

U wont get verizon 3g with roaming either

How much data on average are you using per month via roaming, just out of curiosity?
That only works if you roam a isht ton in areas that are known sprint dead zones. Anywhere else and they'll know somethings up

Spoke to sprint today
I spoke to Sprint today on this issue and since they do not offer quality service in my area and I am forced to roam in order to obtain good service (as i put it) they are waiving the ETF and I am able to move out of Sprint. I am not happy about this decision though. I love sprint where I have lived before in Florida and other places in Pennsylvania but here it is terrible. I will miss my epic and this community but I am doing what has to be done.
Have fun paying triple on verizon

Id leave too, check out T-Mobile they offer better 4g speeds as well as quality phone. The mytouch slide series is pretty nice if you want a keyboard. They also offer alot of their phones free online.

Bet it was roaming data usage.
I work in security. Basically I babysit empty buildings so I tether on my laptop every night. Playing SC2 and WoW etc. I don't know how much I was pulling but it probably was around 10 gigs a month on average. I think the fact that I've been consistently high for the last 6 months did it in conjunction
with the 4S being released. My roommate on his evo got the boot too.
I'm not paying an ETF but if anyone is interested I have a rooted Epic 4G for sale XD

Also I'd like to add that the stratosphere (since I was on Verizon for a week trying it out) is a good phone but f verizons data caps. I'm not paying $10 a GB. I don't care who you are money doesn't grow on trees like the way Verizon sees it. I live in Miami so network coverage is iffy on all carriers. Verizon was the worst for me, getting complete data black out zones in great areas. Sprint had the best coverage for me 3G wise but was pretty slow. I'd never get 4G at work. Now on tmo I'm getting 1.5 mb/sec to 1.8 mb/sec over 4G at work. So that's a huge performance gain for me and I haven't even rooted my SG2 yet. Tmo doesn't charge for tethering. Unlimited everything. So yeah I'm pretty happy as long as I don't get teh boot from tmo.

I wonder if the tethering did anything.
SC and WoW use different ports, so I'm sure some easy packet sniffing paints some major red flags. 10 gigs shouldn't trigger any red flags.....

So I have been following this all day in the SGS3 forums (see here) and the servers got hit so bad that many users were without data AND calling for up to 5hours. Obviously this is a big deal and tons of people are switching but just be patient. My wife is going to the store (you can do it on-line too) tomorrow to set it up for us. I'll post updates if we hit any roadblocks.
Edit:: Ok so my wife went to do this today and she said it was like a mob scene. Said that there were people everywhere and the employees were cooking out promoting this whole thing. Took her about an hour to get through the line and get everything switched over. I got a text at work about a hour ago and it said that our plan changed. I check and it is unlimited and no interuption in service either.
Woody like, hehe!!!
Oh and they say that the HotSpot doesn't work, but it does. I checked. You can also go to the market and get Foxfi if you don't have the HS already.

But I can say, I looked at the new evo and just like sprint ...they wanted an extra $10 a month for service. Wtf man, that would bring it to $65....

Metropcs is stronger than Sprint in the LA area and offer a phone like LG Motion. It's a decent phone and if not, they are adding new phones every month.
U can check boost mobile and virgin mobile. They r not that expensive. Metropcs is a option 2 but it sucks in my area.U may be aviable to flash ur current phone to use with boost,virgin or metropcs. I've seen treads about how to do it.
