So I got my Vibrant and used t-mobile and loved the service but unfortunately I got it just before a change to pricing plans and now I have some other options. I am actually considering moving to Simple Mobile, right now they will give a 3g Unlimited talk/text/web for 50 a month (no clue data cap but I do mostly wifi at home and avg 2-3gb streaming at most). Comparing plans and coverage It looks like Simple Mobile might be a good option for me right now but I just found out about them today at the mall.
So the first thought I had was to come here and see if others have any experience with the Vibrant on their network and if so how it worked out for them. So what do you guys/gals think of them?
back to the front page with this...
Simple Mobile is really good.... its month to month so no contracts...just bring your vibrant and buy the sim card and plan and ur set. Ive been using simple mobile for about 4-5 months using the unlimited everything for $60 and had no problems once you set the APN settings. If you tend to flash roms all the time, you should download an app called APN Backup and once you set the APN you want on the phone, you can back it up for easy restore after you flash a new rom.

Any data cap?

Simple Mobile runs on T-Mobile's network, so you get the same coverage. They don't tell you but there's a 1GB data cap. If you go over it several times, they cut off your service.

So if I have gotten to where I use the data away from WiFi only on rare occasion the data cap would not be a factor. thinking I might give it a try, if i don't like it i don't have to "re-up" i guess. anyone else have anything to say about them?
If you want unlimited data, you need to go with Sprint. They're the only carrier that actually offers unlimited Data.
Also, Sprint is pushing to remove bloatware from their devices, something the other carriers won't even think of (and that's a factor for some people).
Don't even think about it.

What he said... only I've only been trying it for about 2 weeks. So far I've found that T-Mobile's 3G/4G networks are juuuuust out of range of my house. The 2G speeds seem better than ATT though as long as I stay on the device and don't try any ToS violations with the laptop. The data caps don't thrill me either but as was said they all have them. I'll just have to go to Starbucks to download my Linux distros I like to play with.
Does anyone know if you gotta be unlocked for this? ??

Nope. Any tmobile branded phone will do.

Don't know if this was said or not, but Simple Mobile operates using tmobile's towers, which is why 4G/3G works on the phones from Tmo. Tmobile doesnt own them, unlike Boost Mobile+Sprint which are actually together.
Anybody know if I have a tmobile branded phone, will I be able to get 3g with the $50 plan?

If you have a T-Mobile branded phone or phone that supports 850/1900 MHz (both), you should get 3G. 4G (HSPA+, which is really also 3G) is 1700 MHz/2100 MHz.
I just realized that after going into the tmobile store they have a $50 plan prepaid also for unlimited (up to 2gb).

You can go past 2GB, but they'll throttle you to EDGE speeds and sometimes slower for the rest of the billing cycle if you do.

It's pretty much the same as simple mobile. I usually use only around 2gb anyways and i love the wificalling feature.

Actually I read somewhere that buried in the fine print, Simple Mobile reserves the right to terminate your number if you keep going past 1GB of data a month.
I was with simple mobile for two months and it was painful. I just loved being threatened every day to have my account suspended because I hit the 2gb limit in the last week of both my months. Texts from them everyday. I don't teather either.
Plus I had to hack the mms apk to have the user agent changed for it to work. They never tell you they block it without the hack. They just keep you trying same settings over and over. Did the hack and default apn worked work mms immediately.
I am with t mobile prepaid and much happier. More data I barely even get close to capping and better customer service.
Simple mobile didn't even care to try keep me when I had then verify my account info so I could do a transfer. They asked me why I wanted to verify it. Stop I told them
With calling mart discounts I only pay 4-5 bucks more. At most.
I'm looking at getting a G2, long story short, its a T mobile version and I have att. They told me if I unlock it, I can get att 3g. However, I had read somewhere that you have to have a bell desire z to get att 3g. I really like the phone but I also don't want to give up my 3g. Is it true I just have to unlock it to get att 3g?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
whoever told you the g2 will be able to get 3G from at&t has no idea what they're talking about.
You need to get the bell canada Desire Z (A7275) since its hardware 3G uses the same one as AT&T. Tmo uses a completely different set of spectrum for their 3G.
Thank you. I've looked and looked. I knew the frequencies were different and I searched and searched with no luck on finding a method. I really want a G2 and have for a long time. I just can't give up anymore than 3G. I get H+ on my Captivate.
Looks like I'll be sticking with the Captivate, I don't want to pay the inflated price for a Desire-Z with AT&T 3G.

You do pay a premium for a DZ with the 3G bands but you can also use a 'Media Net' data plan in place of the smart phone plan (as long as you aren't tethering) I pay $10/month for unlimited data right now. Compared to the $30 they charge for unlimited (if you were grandfathered in) or $25 for 2GB, you will make your money back over the course of the typical two year contract we'd have to sign to get a subsidized phone from ATT.
On the Captivate, you can get H+ but it has to have a ROM that supports it. It doesn't come with support out of the box.
A person offered me a G2, a sidekick, and a mytouch 3g for my Dell streak 7 tablet. I really like the G2 and I'm thinking about it, however, I probably wont due to the 3G issue unless I just resell the stuff.

gbarayah,
I have an HTC Desire Z (a7275) unlocked from Bell Mobile, and I'm currently on AT&T's $10/month unlimited plan. Only problem is I'm stuck on Edge like the G2. Are there special MEdia Net APN settings which give you access to AT&T 3g?

That'll explain why the G2 doesn't get 3g on ATT's network. But as for my Desire Z
a7275, looks like there's something wrong with my Phone's hardware. It's supposed to pull in 3g 850mhz and 1900mhz bands, which my area is smothered in (I live right outside Philadelphia).
I shouldn't complain because I'm still on a &10/month unlimited plan and I've already surpassed my previous 200mb cap just on EDGE and WiFi.

Its not his hardware. The A7275 (Bell Canada version) of the DZ has the exact bands (850/1900) to work on AT&T's network nationwide. Its the phone I have, and AT&T is my carrier. Bell Canada and AT&T use the same 3G bands.
I use the APN settings below. If that doesn't work, its the plan. Pretty sure its the plan, as I seem to recall other folks on here on the $10/month plan mention that they are limited to EDGE.

Precisely what I tried to explain. Its not your device. As like I said I've used my canadian DZ on att 3g before.
If u look at it from the carriers point of view...10 dollar unlimited data?? For sure it'd have to be locked to edge....at least that's how it works up here in the great white north. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is!
I would say everything is working normally, but on the bright side you'd get a lot better battery life on edge only...at least I do when I go edge only
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
it's the plan. 10 buck plans are limited to edge. you dont get 3g with that. as long as you do not have the g2, you can get 3G on the bell canada DZ
ehh I'll take it
I'd pay $10/month for dial-up speeds, let-alone 2.5g unlimited. 100kbs/s is what I'll settle for when I'm not on WiFi.
Thanks for the help, guys.
I am on a $10/month media net plan and I get H+ speeds on AT&T. I have had the feature on my plan since they first switched to 3G in my area.
I get comparable speeds on my Bell XT860 as I did on my desire z. See speed test results in my signature.
Sent from my XT860 using XDA App
That's rather interesting, I didn't know you could force an "EDGE Plan" on a Desire Z/A7275.
I'm currently on the A7275 with AT&T, using $10/month dumbphone plan with the unlimited messaging feature (select that first to get unlimited dumbphone data). I get HSDPA/UTMS without issues, EGDE is only when I'm in a bad area.
And yeah, generally I get anywhere from 1, 2-4Mbits/sec depending on the day and time.
I have AT&T and I just got the Nexus 4. My previous phone was the Samsung Galaxy S II and I was getting data speeds of about 8Mbps. Now that I switched to the Nexus 4 it is acting like I am capped. I am getting data speeds of 7kbs down and 1.2Mbs down. For some reason every speed test I run results in 7Kbps down.
Why is this happening? On the galaxy S II I could flash different modems. Does the Nexus 4 have modems and could that be my problem?
Do a little searching and you will find your answer. I recently made a thread about this myself.
It has to do with the way the Nexus 4 shows up in AT&T's system. Call them and tell them you just switched to a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (an LTE phone) and give them this IMEI: 357288040480105. They will reprovision your data to the fastest allowed speeds including LTE and HSPA+ when LTE isn't available. After you get off the phone with them go to you APN settings page and go here. Add the APN 3 on that page and combine APN 5 with it (MMS). Delete any other APNs you have after you save that one. Restart your phone and you'll be good to go!

I'm still deciding on if I'm going to use my N4 on T-Mobile or AT&T, but if I can get those mythical 20-30MB download speeds that I've seen some people with their N4 on AT&T, I'm going there.

I explained it in depth in the message I sent to you. Basically it has to do with AT&T not having our phone in their system so they drop us onto a ****ty standard 3G plan.

Its not about lying to them, its about their system needs an IMEI to determine what plan to put on your account, i.e. the reps cant just 'pick' from a list of data plans, they input an IMEI and the system tells them 'you get this plan'. You need to have a smartphone 4G or LTE dataplan on your account to get faster speeds.
Obligatory:

Just create your own "4G" IMEI, call AT&T, give it to them, reboot, enjoy HSPA+.

Pat Simpson: So, I see on the internet that IMEI is the one to give AT&T to get a Nexus to work on our network.
Me: Yes.

Hey guys. I have the same problem, my Nexus shows me 3 kB/s download speed — which is slow even by 1996 year standards. I'm using prepaid $25 plan with a data package on it. I wonder, would this «new IMEI» trick work with my prepaid plan? Or have I switch to a slavery commitment plan first? Please answer because this is the only thread on the internet I have found with some sense on the topic. Thanks.

I've had issue after issue and no fix. I cannot get this connection issue corrected. I've had an LTE plan with LTE APN nothing, a 4G plan with 4G APN and nothing. The only thing that works is the default settings but speed test errors so I'm not even sure what speeds that is now.

So I came from a AT&T Galaxy Note with a LTE plan. I just sold it to go with Nexus 4 and put my sim card in. I have tried just about every APN setting out there. I live in a good area with HSPA+ speeds and i'm lucky if I get 1mbps.
I am just looking for any new things to try or new APN Settings.
Thank you so much for your time and help.

Put the word "phone" in the where pta is. This should work. I personally create a new APN and name it 4g, put the word phone for APN and that's all. I get the same speed as with any other phone.

I actually was in the same situation I also came from a galaxy note. and I use the following apn
Apn- phone
Mmsc - http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
Proxy - proxy.mobile.att.net
Mms- 80
I was on the standard Cingular apn and this one is a lot faster for me

I left erythromycin else the way it is. Make sure u set it up as a new apn and delete the old one. After that reboot the phone and enjoy
Here's a pic of my settings. I hope it helps.

Did this work for you? I have the ATT Data for Smartphone 4G plan and have tried these APN settings, as well as the ones touted for the non-4G plan with no luck, although I had not deleted the old settings, just set it on the new APN settings.
After I apply the settings, pressing *#*#4636#*#* says IOException when I try and ping. Restarting the phone does not help.
I didn't think you could just pull a sim from one phone and plug it into another and get it to work especially one registered with an LTE phone switching to a GSM. Have you called AT&T to see if that's even possible?
Try these. Works great for me

Anyone using att/straight talk ?
What are your APN settings ?

Are you sure you have 4G (HSPA+) or even 3G AT&T service for that matter in your area? A lot of rural areas are only 2G on AT&T's network. And a word of advice on ST AT&T running a lot of speedtests in one day will cause you to go over their daily limit resulting in you getting throttled down to 2G speeds for the reminder of your month. The daily limit is somewhere between 50 and 100 MB and one speedtest alone can use up to 12MB. People also report being throttled after hitting 1.5GB of usage in a month.
Edit: sorry just saw the H in your picture so it would appear you might be throttled by AT&T if your settings are right. Not sure if the H would still show up if your throttled as I've never had it happen to me. So not really sure.
Here are the APN settings I use
Name: StraightTalk
APN: att.mvno
Proxy: Not set
Port: 80
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMSC proxy: 66.209.11.33
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication Type: Not set
APN type: Not set
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
APN enable/disable: APN enabled (tick mark checked but grayed out anyways)
Bearer: Unspecified

Are you on AT&T SIM, or T-Mobile SIM?
First, I would go to APN settings and try "Reset to defaults" from the options menu.
If you still have issues check the settings against http://www.straighttalksim.com/support.php #4 Update Settings.
Lastly, check one of the many threads already posted in the Nexus 4 General forms;

Then I would think you're being throttled.
That's horrible then. I've only used a total of 663Mb of data (3g/4g) .. Use WiFi mostly
I think I need to contact straight talk then.
I would use T-Mobile Sim . but about 4yrs ago I had T-Mobile. & It sucked in my area

I have confirmed calls from straight talk.
I am throttled to 0.26 MBS (avg)
They are now throttling after 1gb or a unsaid amount per day.
Paying your bill will not lift this.
Supposedly letting your service expire. Then paying your bill will lift the throttle until the limit is hit.
I am getting a T-Mobile Sim to try now.

Just for a call threatening to shut off my service.

i think AT&T has been tightening the reigns for their MVNOs. pretty much all of the ones that offered unlimited are now suddenly limited.
I told straight talk they need to send me a T-Mobile sim card for free. Lol
If they don't. I will be dropping my service!

I dumped ST and went with AT&T's own GoPhone plan for $50 a month. Its only 1 GB of data a month but at least I know the limit and its not some arbitrary number. Plus I was afraid of losing my phone number which I ported to ST for violating some obscure rule of theirs like streaming video. Also their customer service is abysmal to say the least. Would love to go to T-Mobile but it sucks everywhere in Michigan and their new LTE ain't going to fix that as the state is 99% rural and will never get it let alone HSPA.
is there a way to bypass throttle?
So I have seen in some threads that turning data on and off as well as airplane mode tricks the system. But it does not work for me. Any one know how to do this and how can I stop them from knowing how much data I'm using?
Get T-Mobile Truly Unlimited
30gb this month so far and still getting 14mbps

Lol nice..
Ajay note their is no way to "trick the system"
