Good god that 4G LTE logo is ugly.
edit:for the record, I don't like verizon's either.

Come on. You mean to tell me that the Verizon "Data Card" bownloading at 50Mbps beats a phone downloading at 40Mbps. Look at the upload. Nowhere even close. NYC has DAS units all over. I'm not on NYC and you can't argue the upload. I can find a spot to show 50 if you want but I just did a random test and got these results. Just thought I'd share. Again. This is on a phone. Not a dedicated data card.

Regardless of which is better or not, I'm glad at&t is finally rolling out LTE.
I don't expect you to be able to answer these questions, but is the device you're using coming out before the end of the year and do you know if at&t plans to offer unlimited LTE data for a short period like verizon did?

Question - why does anyone give a crap? What good is that 40 Mbps doing you. Nothing on the phone will ever make use of that. Even if you are tethering to a computer it isn't nearly as useful as those speeds would be on a home broadband connection due to the data caps. At 40 Mbps you would go through a full month's 4 GB tethering package data allotment in about 13 minutes! What a joke.

considering this is on a fairly loaded network that is running in well over 5 cities I'd say its pretty good :-D

Question - HOW DID YOU GET AN LTE PHONE ON AT&T?
Also, nice speeds, obviously Verizon's LTE is going to get much better speeds when they've had time to get enough backhaul to all the LTE towers, just give AT&T some time, just like the time Verizon has had.

wow
amazing speeds you get there, I don't even get close

Great question. We all would like to know that one

I can't tell you how I got the phone but rest assured they are coming. Once the backhaul gets updated across the board everyone will see better speeds even with the 4G (HSPA+) devices. I'm not 100% sure how the data plans are going to work but I'm sure they will be capped higher than 2Gb. They will have to be capped somewhere or else everyone will use bandwidth all the time taking it away from other users.
That's all I know for now.

Alright, that's fine that you can't tell us, don't mind.
But just tell me, are we going to see LTE phones anytime soon, and if AT&T wants to speed up HSPA+ devices, they need to turn on 64QAM.
^relay that one to them for me.

VERY impressive but like verizon and sprint 4g once there's a lot of people on it the speeds drop.
But thing is all I see is a much faster way to get to the 2gb cap.
Verizon 4g is 2gb right?

Lowest for Verizon is 2GB.
But the guy said they would raise the caps... I have unlimited data, so I hope I get that on LTE also...

I'm not saying that you will see a drop in speeds once everyone jumps on the bandwagon but what would you ever need speeds like that for anyway? Streaming movies? Hah. Maybe if your downloading one and don't want to wait or don't have wifi at home. Anyway, there are just a lot of new and exciting things happening with the AT&T network and the difference will or should already be seen by most of you now or in the near future.
Not only the network but the devices are getting better and better IMO (really unbiassed) I think AT&T has the better devices hands down.
For all those who asked. I can not say how I have an LTE device but they are sure to impress everyone once released.
Till next time.

US Carries and compatible plans for Galaxy note

Hi Guys, this is my first post.
I am relocating to N.Y. from Europe for work and i am bringing my Galaxy Note with me of course.
I was not aware of the situation in U.S. with phone carriers and I am only beginning to grasp the things you have to suffer.
Could you please recommend me a plan. I have already contacted sprint and they refused to accept my cell phone. I am currently thinking of getting boost mobile unlimited but i can't find out if my phone is fully compatible with their service.
I have no credit history in U.S.. I would like at least 200' 100sms and a few GBs of data. Some minutes for calling landlines in Europe would also be great.
I would realy appreciate your help, feeling kind of lost in the open sea.
Thanks in advance (if the list is complete it could be a nice sticky)

Your Note will only give you 3G on AT&T or AT&T MVNOs. You will only get Edge at best on TMo, and your phone won't work at all on Verizon or Sprint!

Get the 450 min package
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/plans/data-plans.jsp
Get the 2gb package. And unlimited messaging.
The phone works great on AT&T with some pretty good speeds.

As foxmeister said ur only option to use full data is with ATT.
The best thing here is to get a prepaid 50 $ unlimited plan. It comes with unlimited everything. Including data.
However if u have a smart phone then u need another data plan. However ATT is never going to know u have a smartphone since the imei of european phones is not their list.
Many people here are using non smartphone data plan with note with no issues.
However if u want a contract, then again get an iphone 4gs with att and sell the phone and use ur phone with that plan.
Since u dont have a credit history here, ATT will ask u to put in a 1000$ deposit, which they will refund u at the end of the 1st year.

I thought I saw in another thread some people complaining about having been found out. Was that about U.S. IMEIs or European ones?
When I go to the AT&T shop must I carry my phone with me to show it before they give me the unlimited plan?

Just don't expect much with AT&T in NY, they kinda suck. Lots of dead zones and dropped calls. I have an unlimited data plan with them but on Friday they told me that since I'm in the top 5% of data users they're going to slow down my connection.

I am sure they will catch you if u use too much data.. may be like over 10gb every month.
U dont have to carry the phone with u.
Good thing about prepaid is that u can always stop using it without loosing much money.
I would consider prepaid as a temporary measure before u understand the coverage and stuff like that..
I think walmart has a plan .. again 50$ unlimited with no carrier specifcation.
This was discussed somewhere in Gnote forum too..

That's standard HSPA data speeds. You'll see the DL speed go up to 11mb some nights depending on your area.
You don't have to change anything

I am on wifi most of the time and I don't use a ton of talk minutes, so I am using an AT&T GoPhone smartphone plan, $25.00/month for 500MB of data, $0.10 per talk minute.

I'm in NYC. Live downtown work in midtown. I have dropped calls all the time and need to reboot my iphone a couple of times a day. I also spend a lot of time upstate (Catskills) and have little to no service up there with AT&T. And they've told me they have no plans to add cell towers.

Hey guys thanks for all the tips. I have been using AT&T gophone unlimited for 10 days. I don't do heavy internet usage but i can say that the data network is speedy and stable in Manhattan. I am not so satisfied with voice call quality and I have some dropped calls or phone takes for ages to connect.
Overall thanks for the help. AT&T worked out of the box and I almost make full use of the device. A strange difference from Europe is that in US data actually works better than voice.

Straight Talk BYO phone $45 month all unlimited for $15 admission fee (sim purchase)

Straight Talk a MVNO using AT&T network. Data is limited to 2Gb (soft cap i think) and everything else unlimited.
Use any compatible UMTS phone even the AT&T iphone 4 or 4s. Back then you had to buy the e71 phone now they have sims/micro sim for $15
Everything works just configure the proper apn information.

I wonder how fast their data downstream is... I'm assuming not as fast as AT&T obviously since its proxied and I'm assuming can't tap into their HSPA+ network.. can anyone confirm? Couldn't really find much on their website.

That means you'll get a ST SIM tied to T-Mobile. Not a good thing if you tend to venture away from major metropolitan areas.

sounds like the apns are not correct. I have been running straighttalk sim on atrix 4g for allmost 6 months. have to enter the apns every time i flash a ICS rom. If you do not put them in correctly no data. (i think 1 time i had a capital letter that was supposed to be lowercase and it did not work)

I have the iPhone 4 on Straight Talk and I love my fast unlimited 3G.
Of course I have everything working including mms.

[Q] Nexus 4 off-contract on AT&T

I currently have Verizon but plan on dropping them once I get the Nexus 4. How do I use this phone on AT&T if I've never had service with them? Is that even possible to do or is prepaid my only option?

Walk into an att store. Pick either a post paid or prepaid rate plan. Purchase an att microsim. Walk out.

If you have an employee discount (FAN Discount), you HAVE to be placed into a contract.

not to derail your thread, but I'm curious, if you walk into the ATT store and have an account with them, will they give you a micro SD card for the nexus 4?

I called and they said yes. Free of charge... I'm still just gonna cut One tho. Already printed the template.

Wait, you're an AT&T employee using Verizon?
If it weren't for the whole employee thing, I'd say T-Mobile is a much better option.

Sorry if this has been mentioned in another thread somewhere, it's 5:23am here and I'm about to crash; how much is it off contract and is it going to be sim locked..?

Better answer than AT&T is to get Straight Talk -- same towers, same service only cheaper. $45/mo unlimited. Unless you get a big corporate discount...
Tmo internet speeds are better if you're in a place where it has good service, but often that is not the case. Actually, you can choose between Tmo and AT&T service on Straight Talk.

Not to derail or anything, but can anyone running the N4 on AT&T give some feedback on HSPA+ speeds?
I'm really trying to decide what to do... considering jumping ship from AT&T to Tmobile, but their reception is apparently crap according to my friends and parents who were on T-mobile and are now all on AT&T. But AT&T is so expensive, and will throttle my grandfathered "unlimited" data plan after 5GB anyways and the N4 doesn't even have LTE and we have to pay 300/350 for it off contract...

Thank you for the feedback... that's alarming considering its CHICAGO, one of the biggest metropolitan areas in the country... maybe it's all your tall buildings?
The Nexus 4 is such an uneconomical choice for USA AT&T.

Nope, it's the same in Lincoln Park, Lake view, and Hyde Park which are all low-midrise. Downtown reception is actually not any worse; it's just as poor. I'm not sure how other carriers' reception is in Chicago, but I can assure you that it is not tall buildings. I've visited Toronto a few times, and used a temporary sim from Fido. It worked great. Reception was really good (except in the subways, but that's to be expected).

When I went into my local store and spoke with a sales associate, they told me all I had to do was switch my 3G sim card for a micro sim and everything would work fine with any phone regardless of speed. For example, there was no special LTE package or LTE compatible plan I needed if I had wanted an LTE phone.
You might need to get your 3G sim card converted to a HSPA+ compatible micro SIM.... but I can't verify that.

thats a rip off!
$5 for 50mb is robbery.. i paid an extra $30 for 10gb on tmobile.

That message must be worded wrong. AT&T just enabled LTE on GoPhone and they are now trying to get smartphone customers on prepaid. They still have the $5, $15, and $25 plans. They definitely are not dropping all data plans but the 50mb plan. If they did that, then that would kill off smartphones on GoPhone.

Well I truly hope it's worded wrong..

I got the text today too, mine also said any auto renewals of data packages will be canceled. I only have the 200 MB plan and have only used 16 MB in 3 weeks so it looks like I still may be able to get by with only 50 MB. I'm on wifi 99% of the time now and use mobile data now strictly for emergencies only. I think AT&T is trying to push everyone into their new service, there is a thread here about it somewhere, its supposed to be a direct competitor to Net10 and StraightTalk. I didn't really like the looks of it.

I got it, I read something on CNET about how they are introducing LTE on gophone, and sometime in mid june theres supposed to be new data packages available. So I'm hoping that the new data plans are just replacing the ones that are disappearing, and having only one choice is only temporary. If not, I'm a bit screwed...

Just read the article and it says data will be LTE/HSPA+, we currently have 3G/HSPA+, so I would expect to see an increase in the price of the data plans. Their standard data plans run $20(300 MB), $30(3 GB) and $50(5 GB). I could live with that but I would assume we would need new sims to access the data and as we don't have 4G/LTE phones are we even going to be able to activate the Nexus 4 on the network? The LTE network where I live isn't band 4 so that part is out of the question but would it then default to HSPA+?

I think the plan should still support hspa+. It's like when I was on Verizon, the 4g coverage wasn't near as good as the 3g, so when I was out of 4g areas I still got 3g. Plus I could still force 3g even in a 4g area.

I found the thread about getting a 4G data plan from AT&T for the Nexus 4. I knew I read somewhere that you had to jump through a lot of hoops to get a 4G plan (not HSPA+) from AT&T for the Nexus 4. AT&T in most cases won't activate the Nexus 4 on their network as a 4G device, you have to use another 4G phones IMEI that you basically steal and use that IMEI to activate the device on AT&T. The guys at my AT&T store are pretty cool so I might be able to talk them into hooking me up with a 4G plan.

It seems if you are on the $25 plan, they will only offer 50mb from now on and the only other option will be the $65 plan that includes unlimited talk/text + 1GB of data. For now these will be the only options. You have to think AT&T is going to add other options but maybe not knowing AT&T.

I have nearly $50 in my prepaid AT&T account, and I'll lose it if I cancel, but so be it. I already got burned once when I paid $25 for 1 GB of data to use for a week and it expired before my next trip even though I used less than half.
T-Mobile gets my business from now on when I cross the border. $3/day for unlimited talk/text + up to 200 MB on high speed. It's a no brainer. Afaik, TMo has good coverage over the places I visit the most by now (Boston, Buffalo, Bellingham, Bay Area).

I really wish they'd expand their data. Doesn't even get close to covering me at home or work.

Compared to what? Not T-Mobile or straight talk.

Tried both and they suck, as has pretty much everyone in this thread but you it appears. Yeah you can get a $30 plan from T-Mobile but if you can't get a signal anywhere but on the Interstate what good is it? And ST? What a joke, you get throttled in a heart beat, customer service is non-existent and the GoPhone plans are actually about the same price so their is no deal there.

Really? $45 is about the same as $60?

No, but when you get throttled for doing nothing, data speeds suck and are sometimes completely unusable, and have nonexistent customer service, the price difference doesn't mean anything. Plus gophone is going to give you the full att postpaid data service and speeds, meaning that you won't have a bandwidth cap. MVNO's buy data from att, I seriously doubt they are giving you the full speed that att "reserves" for their post paid customers.

You said the plans looked good. I wasn't commenting on service. The plans are not comparable to pretty much any prepaid service.

I just cancelled my t-mobile account today. I have been with them since January this year.
No signal anywhere, and I'm done with them. Data speeds are fantastic, if you can get a signal. My loss of signal is 60% with them.
I'm gong to att go phone.
Can someone tell me what I need to do to get a micro sim card to get the go phone service started???
