I read an article a couple of weeks ago that indicated that AT&T would be gradually phasing out edge.

You must be talking about 3G on another device cause I know you are not getting 3G on the AT&T network using your HD2, that is unless you have the Austrialian model of the HD2.

oh, sorry, lol im talking in general At&t's network
but once i went into roaming, and i had 3G lol

If AT&T removed EDGE off their network that would leave GSM, 3G, and HSPA+... Or isn't EDGE and upgraded GSM... So it would leave just 3G and HSPA+

they cant get rid off EDGE or GSM,
1) GSM is their network removing it would leave the option of CDMA
2) EDGE will be there as long as there is 3G available.

That's right, edge is just faster gprs. Both are part of the GSM type network.
You are probably just getting spotty service during the upgrade. Once they are done in your area you should be back to normal.

well it seems my area will be gettinng 4G lol. cuz my service sucks $#%& at the moment.
i even called AT&T, *****ed them out too... HAHA got my self a new sim card. but im still sending the phone in for repair.

okay guys, MAJOR NEWS! T-Mobile US now belongs to AT&T.
does that mean that with in a year or so, our unlocked HD2 will be picking up AT&T 3G or HSPA+ since the T-Mobile spectrum now belongs to AT&T??

AT&T does not own T mobile yet, they have put in an offer but it has ti be reviewed and approved by the SEC. To make sure that AT&T will not become a monopoly, because with this buy AT&T will leap over Verizon for the largest network by far.

isnt att the biggest network atm. customer wise? and besides it will get approved for the reason that the FCC is huge on getting 4G going. att will hhave the biggest for 4G network.
well at least thats what i think is going to happen.

My question about the whole AT&T/T-Mobile deal is, I'm using a couple of T-Mobile HD2s unlocked on AT&T . When/If the deal goes through, will AT&T know I'm using T-Mobile HD2s and upgrade my data plan from the cheap medianet plan to the smartphone plan? My bill is going to skyrocket!

T-Mobile is still going to operate as a separate entity for a long while. So I don't think you need worry - I think the TMO HD2s will continue to work on EDGE with the AT&T network. The question is if they will share towers (meaning that your phone would have G3), but even then you would have to register your APN for the T-Mobile network, which won't work with an AT&T SIM Card.

[Q] Metro PCS already has LTE

How is it Metro pcs already has 4G LTE, and AT&T does, Whats the hold up?

it's a completely different network to set up and unlike metro pcs, att has a whole nationwide network to think about rather than just a few metropolitan areas.

Metro uses Verizon towers IIRC.
So it's possible they have a lease deal for LTE usage.

MetroPCS LTE is horrible! I tried it and got the ATT Atrix at the same time. A speedtest showed only getting 1.5MB over Metro LTE and im getting over 2MB on ATT HSPDA+ without backhaul....

Their LTE is actually VZW independent. They have had LTE before Verizon actually released LTE to anyone.

USA sim

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.
You'll be on 2G no matter which carrier you choose.

Nope. T-Mobile uses 1700/2100 together. You can't just use 2100 on T-Mobile.
The international Milestone has the same bands as your P500. The US Milestone supports AT&T 3G.

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.

R800at has 3G on T-Mobile.

I have an unlocked R800at on T-Mobile's network, and have 3G in my area. Just guessing here, but this is probably because of T-Mobile's recent move to upgrade all their towers to support unlocked IPhones.

This is what I plan on doing I. About 2 months when my VZ contract is up. Glad to know there's 3G. Where I live T-Mobile just lit up 3G for AT&T devices. How good are your speeds?

Sometime towards the last half of last year T-Mobile starting converting its 2G frequency to AT&T 3G compatible. This was done to accomodate the 1 million+ Iphones that T-Mobile has on their network. Plus they are doing this in hopes that people will bring their own AT&T unlocked phone to their service.
Due to this I plan on buying a AT&T PLAY and unlocking it for T-Mobile as in my area they just switched the 2G to AT&T compatible 3G.

Oh, I'm very out of the loop on this anymore... So it has to be the R800at ? If this is the case I will be buying one very shortly !

You need to have the R800at and sim unlock it. It will not work on the R800i which do not support the US 3G frequencies. You also need to check to see if T-Mobile have 1900Mhz band supported for your location.

Try doing this:
Settings -> More -> Mobile networks -> Network operators, let it search for networks. If there is 1900MHz support in your area, you will see 3G T-Mobile

Did you do any changes to your build.prop for T-Mobile or add the APN settings for T-Mobile? I added the T-Mobile settings then hit save, but it didnt stick...ideas?

I can't remember the options exactly, but if you are using stock rom, just go to the first choice, Xperia settings or something, then select download internet settings, it should automatically assign the correct apn.
Once you get custom roms they tend to automatically have apn included.
As to why the APN don't save I'm not sure.

Switching to ATT Postpaid

Using T-Mobile is very fun, and I love pink and everything, but there is no coverage at my college of choice. ATT has mad heavy LTE down there, and I wish to switch. Any guides/tips for how to do this? The website is pretty difficult to navigate (I think most carriers do this).
Any help would be appreciated!

That was a fantastic post, and I feel bad to not have clarified earlier. I meant hspa+21 instead of LTE.
Right now I'm using the 30 dollar tmobile plan and wanted the ATT equivalent. I just didn't know what plan, or how to even get ATT service. There is very little information on that topic.

I would start by doing some
Settings > More... > Mobile network > Network operators (phone will search for GSM carriers)
and see what shows up (on campus, dorm, etc.).
AT&T has no cheep data options (pre or post paid). Their BIG BLUE, so they DON'T HAVE TO!!
i wireless is a T-Mobile affiliate company, and the maps show excellent coverage in the DesMoines / Ames / Iowa City areas (although maps do not always reflect reality), they do have some better pre-paid plans for data users.
If your set on AT&T, try http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/plans/prepaidplans.html
or you can look into a MVNO like Net10 (Unlocked 850 & 1900 MHz band AT&T SIM).

The main issue with T-Mobile is they hate roaming. They put a few towers in places they don't market to (like Des Moines and Omaha) for business travelers, and even deliberately disable roaming in Iowa City.
One final though, you could tell AT&T you have a Nexus 7 tablet and get the 3GB of data for $30 pre-paid tablet deal.

Your best bet would be to go to an at&t store so you can walk out with a sim and a working phone. But two issues with that. One IIRC, at&t's cheapest smart phone plan is like 70 bucks a month. And two, I haven't heard if at&t had fixed the issue with not giving the N4 the proper data plan yet (speed wise 3G vs HSPA+)
Good luck!

If it is post paid, there is no problem getting hspa+ data speeds on the AT&T network. One just has to enter the proper APN. Prepaid could still be an issue, I'm not sure. But, since AT&T now has a prepaid smartphone data plan, I would think it should be possible.
