is it true...

thats t-mobiles 4g is more widespread than sprints atm? i was told last night that it was.

All they did was beef up their 3G network and not use a "new technology", so yes, it is.

yeah they about the same, but some 4g speeds (even tho is not really 4g) from tmobile re faster then sprint wimax

I have a Dell Streak 7 with tmobile and yes its true...and its fast! I don't have Wimax in my area though for my EVO

I don't have 4G from Sprint, but I do get 3G.
I can't sign up for T-Mobile (or Verizon) where I am even if I wanted to.

sprints 4g is hardly no where, just in SOME major cities

They advertise as the nations largest "4G" network so probably. The confusing thing to me is that AT&T announced that their entire 3G network is now HSPA+, and they have a significantly larger 3G network than T-Mo so shouldn't they have the largest HSPA+/"4G" network? Of course with AT&T comes more users so speeds will be slower anyway (I get 3-5 Mb/s on a iPhone 4 in Brooklyn so you'd get that even with a HSPA+/"4G" phone like the Inspire).

my buddy has the nexus S and his speed crush mine he get 4g speeds on a 3g network while im on a 3g network getting dial up speeds

IF they have HSPA+, if not then they are about equal.

Truth but now att and T-Mobile are hspa + and all devices are going to come like that, btw I just saw the latest report of the networks reliability (call , sms and data )and Verizon came up on top again, while T-Mobile is the worst ( I got a tmobile phone from my company) and att and sprint almost the same

Anyone getting 4G in Greenville, SC

I have had my Evo 4G since February and Sprint has yet to announce any new 4G markets. So i was wondering if anyone in the area actually has 4G.

Last time I checked.... Sprint is no longer increasing their 4G in the USA. Yeah, It's ONE BLOCK away from my house! errrrrrrrrrr I want 4G because it is faster than my actual Landline DSL connection I have! lol. sadly where I live, I can't get anything faster than a 3M connection.

You can't be serious, that's bs. They should have a discounted plan for our areas without 4G.

Ditto. They can cut you off if you go over a certain amount (most people say around 2-3GB a month), but so far I've used around that amount and been good. I know some people who have gone way over (5GB) and been fine too. If you use them, don't fill in the proxy fields in the APN, just the MMS proxy stuff. If you stream constantly, this service is not for you. However for anything else it's great. And you get real AT&T speeds (I've personally gotten up to 5 Mbps in some areas).

Yup ive used 2gb and been fine, and have also heard of people going over 5gb and been fine. But id say 2gb would be the safe zone, which is probably plenty for most. Just use wifi whenever you can

my sim will be coming soon and since im gonna be using a pre 2 i dont think data limits are anything to worry about. i just want stable reliable signal where I can text and get calls reliably from a certain area sprint doesnt cut it but ATT does. my question is i am a part time promotor for clubs so i send out a crap load of texts (on sprint i saw my amount and it was around 22000 lol)
if i decide to make this my main phone i will be consuming that much.....phone calls arent an issue i mainly talk only to my gf for long periods of time at night lol
will i be kicked off for this usage?

Hey if I only wanted 5-10 of data a month with no minutes or texts is that possible?and if it is how much would I be looking at for just 5 Gb of 4G data a month.I have a unlocked HTC sensation 4G a t-mobile smartphone.so do I order a sim card from straight talk?how much is a sim card?can I call and order a sim card and activate the sim for just monthly data?I would appreciate it if someone would please explain my qwestions. Thanks...

Texts don't really use data so you would be fine. Data use would be like Pandora.

You could get your cellphone activated on Clearwireless if it's available in your area. It works on HTC EVO, and I think it would on sensation... Just google "activate htc evo on clearwireless" to get on the right path... Good luck!

The Evo is a cdma device and the Sensation is a gsm device. They are not compatible. Clearwireless is a cdma provider (mvno).

Yes, it does. GSM SIMs and (for example) the SIMs used by Verizon (I don't, know if, Sprint has switched to a SIM based system for their up and coming LTE network) would not be compatible. You CANNOT USE A device like the Sensation on a CDMA network, period.

Sprint uses "integrated SIMs" for their LTE phones, which basically means they still use the same MEID/ESN system. Identical to the old 3G/WiMax system. And yes, you're correct. You can't use a GSM phone on a CDMA network period. You can, however take a hybrid GSM/CDMA phone (like a Droid 2 Global) and get it to work on GSM networks by hacking the radio not to ignore domestic networks like AT&T and T-Mobile.

Get unlimited at&t data on my T-Mobile sensation

The HTC Sensation 4G does not support AT&T's 850MHz/1900MHz Band in 3G, so you will run at edge speeds (I know this because I just unlocked my friends Sensation 4G to be used on AT&T) As far as unlimited data goes they say unlimited but if they see spikes in your usage wither your on a Plan or Go Phone they will now convert you to a Smartphone Data Package Automatically.
Your best bet depending on who has the best reception where you are at is to either get a Straight Talk Sim Card for T-Mobile, Which your 3G Will work or a Straight Talk Sim card for AT&T which your 2G Speeds will only work

Why don't you get the $60 T-Mobile unlimited plan?
I like Straight Talk, though I'm a little wary of the data limit.

You could also try Simple Mobile $60 plan for unlimited talk, text, and 4g data

Both $60 plans are the same. Except T-Mobile publishes the throttle point. Both companies throttle at 2GB's on those plans.

[Q] Information on network for motorola atrix

Please help me. I have a motorola atrix 4g. Unlocked. Rooted. Running on t-mobile network. I have 3g contract but all i am getting is edge (which is fricking slow). I know it possible for you to be able to change atrix automatic custom network (which is at&t) to work with t-mobile. Youtube doesn't help cause all i see is bell, sprint and metro pcs. I know it something with the radio. But i need your help thanks.

Do you have any friends who have tmo that you can ask their apn settings? That's my suggestion.

This is true. Carrier radio frequencies do differ in the USA. Wifi is the only high speed you'll get in the USA if you are not on at&t using the at&t Atrix.

Im so angry. But hope something comes up

If you're not locked into a t-mobile contract I suggest going to straight talk, they have a SIM for AT&T version phones and that should get you 3g. Or go for h20 wireless which should get you full 4g speed.

Lol, despite its name Atrix 4G does not have 4G... You need a carrier working on one or two of 850/1900/2100 3g frequencies.

i'd still consider HSPA plus more 4g than Sprint's so called 4g and that wimax thing the original evo has
and I'd consider verizon's 3G more like 2g hahaha

Man im disappointed u should have never brought this phone cuz a friend said I can hack the Motorola custom radio which was at&t to T-Mobile. But he was wrong.
