Grandfathered unlimited user: My Nexus is on it's way. I've been using a Note 2 as my driver. When I switch has anyone successfully stayed on the LTE plan or does their system throw you back to the HSPA plan? I want to try to argue that since the Nexus has quasi LTE it should stay on that plan.
(It's the throttling. When you are throttled on the LTE plan it drops you the HSPA, on HSPA it's rotten EDGE, the last time I checked. It's 2013. No one should have to do EDGE.)

I'm still on my ATT LTE plan and I've been using my N4 as my daily since Thanksgiving. Just don't take in in with u to get a new Sim card as the N4 needs a micro sim. Just cut it yourself and get a Sim converter if u jump between phones. My ATT LTE provisioned Sim card will work on the LTE PTA APN but it won't work as LTE speeds. I live and work right outside of Chicago which has LTE. From what I understand their system won't recognize the N4 which is fine and so it will just keep u on the plan u are on. I've heard stories of people taking their N4 into an ATT and getting put on a hspa plan. Then having to call into ATT customer service and giving them a LTE phones imei just to get their LTE back on their Sim card.

I bought a T-Mobile prepaid Sim to test drive and will probably switching from ATT LTE to T-Mobile HSPA+. If the coverage is right I'm getting around 10-12 Mbps on T-Mobile. That's plenty fast for my needs and also the unlimited data, freedom of pre paid sweetens the deal instead of ATT hspa.

Good info. The system has never automatically dropped you back? Are you manually going in and setting the LTE APN or selecting the option offered? I've had a nasty shock twice before when flopping SIM's. I plan on dropping the Note 2 micro straight into the N4.
The unlimited data plan combined with LTE is worth it's weight in gold.
I came from a Vivid on at&t with LTE unlimited. All I did was to copy my Vivid's APN exactly to the N4 and used a sim cutter to cut my sim down and I was good to go. As for throttling, I still get throttled after 5GB of data and it still knocks me down to 500kbps until my bill cycle starts over.

Nope never dropped me back In fact if I throw my Sim in my Skyrocket I still get LTE. I'm actually buying a HTC one X+ with LTE. Like I said before I don't get LTE but the AT&T PTA APN nets me that fastest speeds. It depends on your ROM which apns u get on default but u can always add any APN you want on any ROM. So like on PA I had to add the LTE APN to get those faster speeds.

Big question is did you go to 4.2.2?
If you don't want at&t to argue with you about whether it should have an LTE plan or not, your best bet is to activate the account with a device that is officially LTE capable, then just pop the sim card in the nexus 4 and don't tell them about it. AT&T will argue with their customers over the smallest details for absolutely no reason!!! That's why I cancelled my contract with them years ago. I can't take a company trying to argue over something in which they have NO CLUE, and try to force me into their school of thought.

I don't think so. From what I was reading, unlocking it wouldn't matter. The sim card and the phone it was with other work together. You can't use an AT&T sim card in an Net10 phone or a Net10 sim card in an AT&T phone
That was what I got from a little researching. I could be wrong.
And ST is always an option as well. They have good plans and use GSM so swapping sim cards wouldn't be an issue.

I'm using the Galaxy Note with a NET10 sim.
Things you should be aware of:
1. Web access doesnt work if you are roaming
2. YOu can use a AT&T locked phone (as mine is locked)
Unlimited plan is really limited to your area code. ONce you cross the line you don't get to use data.
So you will be screw on your travels or work outside your area.
I just signed up. But wish I hadn't.

So the NET10 rep couldn't solve my web access problem on the Note BUT I've it working w/O their help.
IT works outside my area code and I get average 3G speed.
So you AT&T android phone doesn't have to be unlocked to be able to use NET10.
will you please tell us just how you managed to do this??
please post your settings....even your new APN settings if you had to make new..
thanks

NET10 new plan
this my first post but i hope it help,
NET10 had just came up with there unlimited plan of $50 (talk,text and date (3G)) or $65 with all that + international calling to almost 50 countries, and they are saying on the SIM card kit, to bring your GSM unlocked or compatible phone , Iphone, Android, Smart phone.
and it should work, pop the sim in and follow the instructions.
I'm actually thinking seriously to switch to them after buying a AT&T HTC Vivid, thinking i'll be able to use with t-mobile 4G, to find the LTE Curse is on my Vivid.
i talked to a dealer of NET10 and he told me the NET10 uses both networks, and you are guaranteed to get 3G speed on any phone capable of having 3G speed.
this text is copied from NET10sim web page
"Use virtually any compatible or unlocked GSM phone with our NET10 SIM to get service on the best nationwide networks."
i got the sim, but it was 2 days after I paid for my t-mo for this month, I'll post my experience once I try it on my LTE cursed Vivid phone, and check the 3G service.
Hope this helped. :fingers-crossed:
If the phone doesnt get 1700/2100 for 3g then you will have to wait for the refarm.

So what happened???? I'm really considering switching to Net10 over At&t. It would save me about $30 a month, and give all my phone lines unlimited data not just mine.
I am using my NET10 micro-sim card (for AT&T) as part of their Bring Your Own Phone (BYOP) sim card package in my new AT&T-branded Sony Xperia Ion (LT28at) that has been unlocked to carrier. I'm in a small area in western South Dakota that has AT&T coverage, and I am getting 4g speeds on the cellular service from my home. The reception is great, and you do get edge (2g) and 3g data while traveling outside your area, just not the highest speeds. I travel to Seattle frequently for business and can verify this. With prepaid monthly it is about $47.50 (with taxes) per month. HUGELY worth it after being 'chained' to Verizon for years and years!
im on a s4 non prepaid at&t phone using net 10 on the at&t network. no problems and i live in wautoma wisc.
I am from Israel and I am coming to the States on the next Monday. I need a sim with unlimited data, and about 100 minutes of talk and some messages.. I also need wifi tethring option to tether my tablet and laptop. I cant decide which carrier to choose. T mobile daily plan sounds nice but there are others like h2o, net10... Any suggestions?

I would get the T-Mobile $30 unlimited data and texting with 100 minutes. The $3 a day plan is also a good option if you're going to use under 200MB a day.
All the plans AT&T MVNO's(H2o, Red Pocket, etc) have low data allowances and cost more than T-Mobile.
AT&T has 250 minutes and unlimited texting for $25 a month. You can add data for $25 a GB.

You should make sure your phone supports the AWS band (also known as band IV) for 3G before going on T-Mobile or band II or V for AT&T 3G.
T-Mobile checks UA string to detect tethering, so you will need to spoof it in your browser settings to get around it. Not sure about AT&T or any MVNO, however.
Would strongly suggest T-Mobile if your phone supports it and you plan to stay in a metro area. Otherwise, go with an AT&T MVNO.
While I have not had any experience with T-Mobile, all of my past experience with AT&T has been horrid. I would not recommend them for prepaid or postpaid usage

As much as I would agree (I hate calling people who I know are on AT&T because the calls drop frequently), T-Mobile's 3G coverage is much smaller than AT&T's 3G coverage - leaving AT&T as the only GSM option in some areas. That said, if you spend most of your time in or around major cities, T-Mobile is superior both on performance and price.
I have LG P500, it has quad band and tri band.. should it work with T Mobile? I will be in major cities like NYC, Philly, DC...

You won't be able to get 3G from any US carrier with that phone. It supports 900 / 2100 for 3G and none of the networks over here support those 3G frequencies.

Nope. T-Mobile uses 1700/2100 together. You can't just use 2100 on T-Mobile.

The problem with the T-Mobile $30 unlimited data (up to 5Gb) plan is you won't be able to use any data on Edge and they don't really have 4G anywhere unless your phone does WCDMA on 1700Mhz then it will work at T-Mobile stores but that's all. You will need a newer Samsung Galaxy S2 or S3 phone to take advantage of 3G service on T-Mobile.

When the OP made the thread and mentioned T-Mobile, I figured he had a T-Mobile compatible phone. If you reqd the post above, you'd see I pointed out that T-Mobile 3G/4G wouldn't work on his phone.
But, don't have to be at a T-Mobile store to get 4G. That's absurd. Also, there's no need for a new T-Mobile phone to get fast data, any T-Mobile 3G phone will work.

I disagree, it may sound absurd until you realize they don't really have any 4G network anyplace but they need service inside the stores so they can display the phones working. In the Phoenix, Mesa and Scottsdale areas the only place you can get 4G on T-Mobil is in or near the T-Mobil stores where they have a 5 bar signal. They claim they aren't using an amp or anything but if you leave the store and go down the street a few blocks there's no signal and it's not available anywhere else.
As for saying "any T-Mobile 3G phone will work" you know they haven't sold 3G phones since 2010, right? None of the new Samsung 4G phones can get 3G either, at least none of the ones I looked at in the store could get it since they don't have an option for HSPA or HSPA+, just GSM and WCDMA with nothing in between.

All T-Mobile smartphones phones are capable of 3G. You confusing T-Mobile 4G with LTE. T-Mobile doesn't have LTE, and their 4G network is nothing more than fast 3G. The icon in the corner of your screen might only show 4G, but there are many instances where it's actually getting 3G I get 3G with my Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile.
You really need to do some serious research.
Lets try and keep this on topic of the thread bout sim card and not go off about how good the actual networks are etc.
The fact of the matter is, you'll only get 3G/4G (HSPA+) on AT&T and AT&T MNVO's. If OP needs fast data, I'd recommend a Straight Talk AT&T-Compatible SIM from http://straighttalk.com. It's $50 for a month of unlimited everything (just don't go too crazy with data). When you fill in the APN, ignore any proxy fields except for "MMS Proxy".

His phone runs on 900MHz and 2100MHz, doesn't AT&T 3G run on 850MHz and 1900MHz?
Oh wow, he has some funky frequencies. He'll need a different phone for 3G/4G on any network then. Basic functions and EDGE should work though.
How did you get data to work on your Nexus 4? Turns out those with LTE plans need re provisioning in order to get data on their Nexus 4. Is this the only way to get data or is there another way? I want to swap my SIM on the fly between my iPhone 5 and nexus 4 without having to call a rep every time I need to change devices. TIA

Hello,
Sorry if this is redundant but I have searched for a while and I couldn't find anything.
Clearly alot of N4 users are using the $30 T-Mobile monthly 4G plan (http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/monthly-4g-plans) but the Google play N4 does not have 4g unlocked. I read somewhere that the T-Mobile plan is either 4G or EDGE speeds. Is that true, or will there be 3G speeds as well. In addition, will the method to unlock 4G on the N4 allow 4G for T-Mobile's monthly 4G.
tl;dr:
1. Is there 3G for the $30 Unlimited data T-Mobile Monthly 4G plan?
2. Can the N4 use the 4G if there is a network where I live?

T-Mobile's current "4G" is just HSPA+ branded as "4G". Some areas have HSPA+ 42 coverage which is not too far off from LTE speeds.
1. To answer your first question, there is 3G for the Montly4G plan. You can manually select your network type on the phone. If you want HSPA+, you can use that, or even EDGE if you want it. You can toggle that on your phone.
2. Yes, if the area in which you live has HSPA+ coverage you will be able to use it. Once T-Mobile starts rolling out their LTE network on the AWS band next year, your Nexus 4 will be able to use it.
3. There is no need to "unlock" the 4G.
4. It's super simple to set up your monthly4G plan. You don't even have to manually enter your APN settings.
5. Don't worry about speed. I can get ~22Mb/s down on HSPA+ :http://imgur.com/SBJt7. I can't tell the difference in speed between my iPhone 5 on AT&T LTE (~29Mb/s) and my Nexus 4. Speed is not an issue.
I activated mine a week ago so if you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me.
Thanks s much for the quick and concise reply!
Now all I need is the N4 to be back in stock.
Holy ****. No disrespect to you, OP because it isn't your fault but this is a prime example of how the different branding of "4G" is confusing as **** to people. Glad you got your answers though OP

Hi, XDA
Needed a little help currently here in the good old U.S.A and on verizon wireless i am thinking about switching carriers one reason is my phone of choice is the Htc One, also thinking of switching because of the things that i can do on some of the other networks here in the states like talk and surf at the same time not only on 4g lte but also on 3g hspa+, which is another thing that i liked because if im in an area that 4g lte is not available i can fall back on hspa+ which is faster than verizon cdma 3g network that tops out at 1.5-2mb down and .4mb up.
The reason why i am holding on to verizon is that I have unlimited data no throttling or data overages and I am planning to buy my phones at full retail to keep me out of contracts with these companies and also keep my unlimited data because i use alot of data i mean 8gb a month avaerage over 4months i guess if i stay with verizon i would have to settle for the samsung plastic s4 or wait for the google x phone. just want to hear some opinions or advice thanks in advance.
Sprint is your only option for unlimited data. They don't have HSPA, but are substantially cheaper than Verizon.
I just switched from Verizon to ATT yesterday coming from Unlimited as well.
I switched mainly because of the lack of service in my area of work and lack of availability of phones. Does going from Unlimited to 5Ggb suck, yes, but I also have service where I work and will be able to get the beloved HTC One. I'll just need to keep an eye on my usage from now on.
I pay $10 for every GB I go over which doesn't sound too bad to me.

Straight Talk is AT&T MVNO and offers "unlimited" everything at $45/month, no contract. I have been using it with Galaxy Nexus for over a year.
When my unlocked HTC One arrives I will trim the sim and use it.
I'm joining my fiance's AT&T plan here in NY, there data for two lines isn't horrible. $150 for Unlimited Talk/Text and 4GB shared data for $150 for a few business/pleasure phones isn't too bad, she's paying $100 a month for her non-smartphone though, ****ing crazy!

ok just looked over somethings, thinking im staying with the plan to go with AT&T 1. I would get 4g lte with them 2. wont get throttled after 100mb-300mb of data usage.

Then I say Sprint. They are about 90% done with their Network Vision upgrade in Chicago.
You can visit Sensorly.com so that you can see how their LTE coverage is in your area.
