So my mom disabled my text n 3g, can I just use a Verizon PRL for awhile and connect to those satillites? Or is my phone just blocked from connecting to anything?

Satellites are orbiting in the upper atmosphere, whereas cell towers are... towers...
And no matter how you try to circumvent it, texts will still filter through Sprint at some point, so you're most likely out of luck on this one. Wifi is probably the only option for data, but standard texts still won't work if they're blocked on your plan

Escalate it to tier two tech support and ask them to check the towers you are connecting too. It may be a screw up. I had this happen awhile back

100MB sounds like a roaming limit. They made a mistake somewhere and need to fix it. If the person refuses, speak to a manager, or Google how to get to their retentions department (it is saying something when you dial 611).
They are still telling me the same crap. This is ridiculous. Im in a 4G area, but all towers are not tmobile, so even if I'm not roaming I'm roaming?!?! Wow!!! So what's the point of me paying for internet?

File a report with the FCC and demand they allow you out of your contract without an ETF. If the towers in your area no longer belong to T-Mobile (they did say awhile back they were looking into selling towers...IIRC) and you are always roaming and therefore throttled after 100mb than you shouldn't have to pay for more data than that and if they can't provide you the unthrottled speeds after 100mb (that you pay for) they should allow you out of your contract.
(It's what I would do)

If you have a certain rom it will tell you how much you have transfered. Tmobile tried to this with me and while my wife was on the phone with them I took the phone and told the guy he was full of **** and he said that he could tell the areas where I downloaded it from I told him my ROM monitors in and out traffic and it was only at 900MB and I asked him to tell me and he choked and got all mummbly. It is a scam I think because they have this new unlimited plan they want everyone to switch to. Cell companies hate with I call then because I call them out.
Anyone having the same issue? Once I take a call browsing the internet is nearly impossible. It will take a good 2-3 minutes to pull up a page?

That has nothing to do with the discussion here. The throttling you're talking about is with the people who still have unlimited data plans who go over 2 or 3 GB's in the month's span. Then they will have their data speeds throttled.
The issue at hand here is when someone is having a conversation on the phone, on speaker for instance, and is trying to use the internet browser at the same time.

On AT&T you should be able to talk and surf at the same time. LTE is not yet capable of talk and data at the same time so if you have an LTE connection and use data, your data connection will be dropped to 3G or lower. The problem might exist because not all phones or AT&T towers handle the data switches efficiently. The phone has to register with the next available tower during the data / voice event and this doesn't always go smoothly. Last I heard, AT&T was testing LTE with voice technology, but I haven't heard anything in a while about that.
I have also heard that people with improper APNs might have trouble talking and surfing at the same time.

Currently thinking of leaving Verizon. I decided to give T-Mobile/metropcs a try... I can honestly say that I will be leaving sooner than later. Even though I can't access their LTE network their h+ 42.2 network is plenty fast... And at only $40 unlimited everything I don't think I can pass this deal up.
Anyone else out there on another carrier besides Verizon? What plan and how much does it cost... Verizon is killing my pockets... since my wife stopped working to stay home with the kids, looking for ways to save on every bill...

Yeah, I'm in the same boat - no T-Mobile LTE, but do get HSPA+. I'm on the prepaid $30 100min/Unlimited Text+Data for T-Mobile. Unfortunately T-Mo coverage here is only decent along major roads, and the H+ speeds are not very consistent block-to-block. I'm probably going to just cancel the prepaid service since I only get Edge at my desk at work, which doesn't help me conserve data usage on my Verizon device, which was my intention.
My H+ speeds have ranged from about 400kbps all the way to 12mbps... potentially faster than my Verizon speeds on LTE. Just upsetting that the service is still too spotty to use it as my primary carrier.
I am here in ga and it is pretty good... Not Verizon good but good none the less... I just don't know what am going to do when I leave Verizon. Their service is top notch...

Well like you said, sometimes you have to make sacrifices. Do you have unlimited on Verizon? How much data do you need? I know that T-Mobile will give you unlimited but I'm thinking that if you don't need unlimited, you could switch to T-Mobile for now and then switch back to Verizon later on when finances are a bit more stable.
As long as T-Mobile serves your immediate needs, then it should be fine.
Yeah don't need unlimited. Its just a means to help get the bills lower. I just hate to give up Verizon. If I want to upgrade I will be forced to pay full price. But I also wanted the nexus 5 so I give it's a win win

I had trouble dropping my Sprint SERO line, but hopping on someone's Share Everything plan on Verizon was really the cheaper way to go. I liked only paying $50 for unlimited LTE, but it was just an extra bill that wasn't necessary (as I was on both Sprint and Verizon at that point).

I believe it does have a 1700/2100 bands supported (per GSM Arena), and I do not think I'm in a re-farmed 1900 area. I had a T-Mobile SIM in a Sprint HTC One, DNA, and Lumia 822 and none were pulling in H+, just Edge or 3G.

The Maxx will not pick up 1700/2100 areas. Only the refarmed 1900. However it does support lte band 4 which will probably have its switch thrown later when vzw starts using their aws spectrum. It's not active now as far as I can tell because I can't get any better than H+ in Chicago which is entirely refarmed tmo and att doesn't trigger it either. My inkling is that vzw has that part of the radio turned off at the moment until they launch that portion of the network.
Image attached shows what the phone does support with the VZW radios.

Just because the chip supports it doesn't mean that it's active or usable. Look at the nexus and its lte if you need an example. My post above yours show what moto intends to allow for this device. It "could" support more but the bands aren't active.
What I'm curious about is if we can get this ***** unlocked... Can we pull the radio files from the Tmobile X to unlock the 1700/2100 and AWS LTE bands (which the phone does support but again, are inactive at the moment). We would lose the cdma bands but for the people switching to tmo... I don't think they'd care.

I asked the store rep if Sprint is working on a fix, but we all know the Sprint reps are usually useless answering these questions (by this I mean at the store they are only trying to make a sell). Her answer was that Sprint is working on a fix that will fix all phones with an OTA. My next question was is this a hardware or software problem which she responded that it is a tower problem. I looked online for an answer but all I could find is that Sprint responded with a weird kinda lame answer that didn't really say if they are working on a fix or not. On Sprint's Forum a rep says they are, but they say a lot of things on the forum that aren't correct also. This seems to be a very frustrating situation actually.
Does it matter to you?
It does to me, but at the same time it isn't a function I use all the time. My only reason that it has helped me, is that it has greatly helped me with work a few or more times.
I am kinda forced to buy a new phone for framily / billing reasons... huge bill without it. I am sorta thinking that I will upgrade the phone but at the same time keep my S4 handy in case I hate the S5. I went to the store today and I have to say it actually surprised me with it's new version of Touchwiz- even though I usually hate Touchwiz.
The only real reason I can see me upgrading is the camera and battery algorithms for power saving.

Spark is crap!!!
The reason you can only use one at a time is the triband antenna in the phone it can only use one signal at a time. It may be fixed once sprint starts using voice over LTE. Plus spark is just a unborn baby right now, not even full deployed. The sprint map says spark coverage is in certain areas on the sprint coverage map on the website. This is not true, the sprak network is 2.5Ghz radio head on the the already existing towers(have not be built or not on-air yet). According to sprint Alcatel-Lucent and Samsung towers are the only companies that are contracted to work on spark networks. Ericsson is looking like they will not be apart of the upgrade. This means there will be 1/3 of the sprint market that will not have spark. Sprint has the the companies split by markets and only two of them have contracts to build in their area.
Here is an article that will cover a good about of that info.

NSN will be the contractor for the Areas served by Ericsson for NV 1.0. The reason you can not get SVLTE is because they do not have multiple pathways for 1x and LTE. Here it talks about it. The S5 was not the first phone to have this happen, All tri-Band Phones will most likely be without SVLTE from now on.
S4gru has a few pages explaining it better.

Yes, I forgot to mention it is not only the S5, but all Triband phones. I mostly wanted to put this out here in the open for feedback and other peoples knowledge when contemplating the S5 as an update. I would have been absolutely pissed if I found out after the fact.

Having sprint spark doesn't mean your going to have best speeds unless your connected to band 41 or band 26 which is the newest bands. With those speeds you have there i wouldn't be surprise if your connected to band 25 which is the 1900mhz which yea its loaded with majority of sprint customers which is going to give you real slow speeds.
Here some speed test on band 41 i took yesterday morning when i was heading to go play some basketball.

Where do you live? And also what i did was i went into my settings ##data# and made band 41 as my primary. My list is #1 band 41 as primary, #2 is band 25 and #3 is band 26 since its not active here in Miami yet but band 41 is doing great so far as you can see.
