Straight talk questions - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought a Straight Talk at&t SIM from eBay recently for use on my Nexus 4. I am going to be out of the country for three months. If I don't activate the SIM right away, can I activate it when I come back in three months?
Can I switch from plan to plan once I have it activated? Does it support LTE or HSPA+ speeds?
Much thanks!

Yes you can activate it in 3 months.
Straight talk (at&t) does not have lte use. However you will get H.

[Q] Verizon Nexus 4

Ok guys, I'm almost sure this has been asked before and if so just link me to the post because I cant find it. I currently have the HTC Rezound and am seriously considering a Nexus 4, I cant quite seem to find a definitive answer saying weather the nexus 4 works on Verizon and if so how well. I thought it would work fine just have to deal with HSPA+ instead of LTE, I do live in the US not Canada (lucky bastards) so yeah, Please any help would be greatly appreciated.
Verizon runs off CDMA and the N4 does not.

No, the Nexus 4 WILL NOT work on Verizon's network. The Nexus 4 is a GSM Sim required phone.

Just get the Droid DNA. Its as close as you can get to a Nexus 4. But you can wait for the next nexus device coming out later this year. Rumor has it that it will work on all major u.s carriers.

No no...I guess I typed that wrong....I'm going to use my nexus 4 but iwas wondering which phone I should use first to activate the 30 dollar a month plan. That's what I meant by my post... Sorry about that

As far as I know, their is no restriction on devices with this plan. So you should be fine with the Nexus 4. AT&T would be another story.

Just activate the SIM with the Nexus 4 and when you have to pick a plan, just choose the 30 dollar one on the website. No voodoo or black magic needed, T-Mobile doesn't care if you use this plan with your Nexus.

Any deals on Xbox live cards?

I know Amazon used to have a year for $34 which was a really good deal but I didn't grab it. Any sites have a good price?

i bought my subscription here:
http://www.cheapxboxlivecodes.com/xbox-live-gold-subscription-codes/12-2-month-xbox-live-gold-2-2/
they are the cheapest i found so far, and they deliver it fast on email.
It says on the site that that code with 2 extra months is out of stock but if you scroll to the bottom theres a regular 12 month for sale and its in stock just a heads. Also check on xbox live on the console. Sometimes they have really good 1 year deals

13 months for about $40. That's not too much more than the lowest I've seen.

last week an add showed up on my xbox homescreen offering one moth of xbox live for $1. Went ahead and bought it. The catch is that you have to visit the page and unsubscribe, otherwise they will be charging you $9.99 a month from then on. Of course, if you're fine with that you dont really have to unsubscribe. I did though, and am currently enjoying my (almost free) month, just for $1. Told a friend and he did the same. I wonder if the offer will be up next month as well.
Dont worry you can get xbl cards for free here:

Just get one from Google Play or a used one from eBay/Gumtree, they're cheap enough and you'll be able to switch to a much cheaper SIM only contract

[Q] USA: T-mobie/Note3 ? AT&T/Note3 ?Amazon-Unlocked-N9005

hi guys..
Whats the better device to buy
T-mobie/Note3/N900T ? AT&T/Note3/N900A ? Amazon-Unlocked/N9005
I will be primarily using the phone on t-mobile, but would like to use it in other countries like
India as well with local sim card/s
I can afford to buy the device... and am not on any plan at the moment,
also don't intend to marry a cell phone carrier...

I understand Samsung Devices are not generally Bootloader Locked... I am not sure of the carrier branded devices though (never used one) If the Nexus-5 ain't any good, I am going for the Note... The only thing I wish is that they eliminate the home button, I hate it... I just want a bezel less piece of glass..
