EVO - Lack of 4G Coverage / Switching to Verizon & Unlimited data!

Ok so I had an Evo I was excited with the 4G I liked it for a while, but then after a 1 1/2 years the thing started to flake out. Well with my phone flaking out, and very limited 4G coverage I made the switch to Verizon. With one problem, what about unlimited data? I had to have unlimited data. So this is how I got unlimited data! Which wasn't being offered anymore.
Well thanks to XDA I found a super sweet hook up. This guy named VIP Nick got me Unlimited Data on my Verizon account for $30 a month, even though it's not offered anymore! He's one of very few in the country that can hookup accounts with unlimited data. Because he mainly works with Business accounts, and VIP accounts. Though he'll work with individual and family plan accounts too. Which I like because Verizon has a lot better 4G Coverage!
So I thought I'd spread the word to the XDA community if your looking to make the switch and want a new phone and get Unlimited Data email him at
Verizon.Unlimited.data @ g m a i l . c o m
subject - Unlimited Data XDA
I am Very Happy Now!
ThankYOU XDA! I love this site.

That wont last long. As soon as someone higher up the food chain findsout...you are done.

Yes it said unlimited data but eventually you get to the data caps and slow your speed.

Beware unintended consequences...

I told My Coworker about this, as he recently switched to VZW when amazon was giving phones away for a penny, He got a phone call like 10 minutes after sending him an Email and will have unlimited data on his and his wifes phone in the next day or two.

No this guy is legit. His company has an exclusive contract with Verizon. I've talked with Verizon's business department and confirmed it. Everything is good with this hook up! He's hooked up several of my friends too, very professional!

P.S Verizon doesn't throttle speeds it's rumor... Very rarely only in extremely high trafficked area's like the super bowl etc.. I've used 60 gig this past month ran a bit torrent non stop and no throttling, sure a few fluctuations but still very fast.

I cannot beleive this without proof or evidence. Your just trying to lure people in to make commusion.

So I have been following this all day in the SGS3 forums (see here) and the servers got hit so bad that many users were without data AND calling for up to 5hours. Obviously this is a big deal and tons of people are switching but just be patient. My wife is going to the store (you can do it on-line too) tomorrow to set it up for us. I'll post updates if we hit any roadblocks.
Edit:: Ok so my wife went to do this today and she said it was like a mob scene. Said that there were people everywhere and the employees were cooking out promoting this whole thing. Took her about an hour to get through the line and get everything switched over. I got a text at work about a hour ago and it said that our plan changed. I check and it is unlimited and no interuption in service either.
Woody like, hehe!!!
Oh and they say that the HotSpot doesn't work, but it does. I checked. You can also go to the market and get Foxfi if you don't have the HS already.

I just switched over to the new plan and cut my Bill . I was paying $5 more for 5GB . No more throttle .

If I could even consume that much data in a month

I may retire the Supersonic today...

For an HTC One V with Cricket (yes, because of budget issues). I still plan on keeping the EVO, and will even donate it to developers of needed. But my question is, besides the One V, what other HTC no-contract phones do you think I would enjoy after all my time with the supersonic? Something I can modify with OC and UV and sound mods. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated and again, hit me up if a dev needs a perfectly working EVO! Thanks.

You'd be better off getting a samsung device, less hassle to root and more development due to the easier rooting. Plus all the samsung devices are selling way more than htc now. Lots of ppl have come from the evolte to the sgs3 or note 2 from terrible reception and lte > 3g/wifi handoff issues where the data just drops out til a reboot.
I like to break stuff!

The cricket service on the 3vo is way better than sprint. My of evo gets 1.5 on 3g and the 3vo usually gat about 2.2 on 3g. Yes rooting is a pain but has gotten easier with a bootable CD ROM. Plus for around 100 for a used one with bad ESN how can you go wrong.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app

Good advice, I appreciate it. I ended up just flashing the EVO, but immediately afterwards I changed my number on their website and dialed *228 and let my phone reboot, now 3g internet doesn't work at all. Talk and text are fine.

I hope you flashed it yourself. When ever you change your number you have to open qpst and change it in there also to get you data to work. Now before you change anything you will want to make sure you read from the phone and then save that information on the pc. I normally call it whatever the old phone number was. Then you want to make sure you write down the IMSI_S number. It is in the cdma tab. Now go through the tabs and change all the old numbers to the new one. Then go back to the cdma tab and make sure the IMSI_S number is correct and then save that profile. Now write to your phone and once it reboots you will have data again.

I got a one v for my gf. its decent. screen is a little small and dont like the sealed battery. sound is good because of the beats audio. as far as rooting, not sure. she wont let me touch it

And no, I paid forty bucks to cricket to flash. And when I tried to go to a closer one to reflash they said I had to pay 20 bucks or go to the store I initially flashed at. How lame is that?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app

Sure you can hit me up here or my email which would be a little quicker to get any extra help you need. I have flashed two evo's and a 3vo myself and helped out on many more. Plus my last girlfriend liked to change her number every few months so fixing that will be a snap.
Email address coming via pm in a few moments.

If you want to, you can keep using your EVO on Ting (a Sprint MVNO). Ting allows you to BYOD and I've brought two EVOs over without any problems. No overage penalties and refunds for what you don't use.
If you don't use tons of data (or are always within range of wifi), it can be very cheap. If you stream movies all day, it'll cost you an arm and a leg, though.
Think of it as the open-source carrier.

I actually was just on Ting, haha, they're good service but too expensive, I like unlimited data.
Yeah so reflashing with cricket to regain 3g and mms is a no go right now, cricket wants to charge me and I can't do that right now. I'll be sure to shoot you an email in my attempts to get my phone working again.

Awesome man. Thanks.

Solavei???

So I'm on solavei, and I'm debating switching back to tmobile itself. Reason being I only get no more than 14.80 mbps, speed test goes that high and just stupid like it hit a wall. I'm using a t999 s3, do you think I'd get faster speeds on actual tmobile?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

The speed will be identical to T-Mobile if you switch. So you would be paying more for the exact same experience.

You don't believe it'll be any different since they only piggy back off tmobile?

Get a T-Mobile SIM and get a $3 a day plan or the $30 5GB plan and see, or borrow someone's postpaid SIM.

I read somewhere on xda that tmobile has a statement saying they make sure to take priority over other mvno companies.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Just for future reference, I did a test today and can confirm a couple things. I did a few speed tests with my solavei SIM card sitting my phone in one spot, got about 380-1400 ping. Switched in a tmobile SIM using three truly unlimited plan and ping blew me away, it was constantly 80-99ish. As for down and up speed I was getting about 6-13 on solavei with about 1.5 up constant. And on the tmobile SIM I got about 10-14, but I expect faster once my phone number port is complete I was told to expect it being choppy. So far I notice a huge difference in use around town, as I was running errands all day.

Also, even pegging out at 14.7 mbps (for some reason solavei doesn't let you go faster) I couldn't even watch a 2 minute YouTube video, now I can not only click hd version, but it doesn't keep buffering.

What APN are you using on Solavei?

I don't recall but it was a specific one that was sent to me via a automatic text from solavei. My number finally fully ported today and I'm seeing way bigger speeds, very happy I spend the extra $12 for tmobile truly unlimited plan. I can confirm solavei sets a max speed of about 14.7mbps, not bad but tmobile is noticeably better when actually using my data

Nick, I'm seeing Solavei speeds of up to 14mb/s too, which is personally plenty fast for me. When you consider that Tmobile's $50 plan slows down data speeds after 500mb, Solavei compares better
Solavei speed tests: http://www.4gmobileshare.com/solavei-speed-test/

I can see where you would think that, but a couple of things. Solavei is not just $49, the tax brings it to $58. So by that logic for $12 more you can get access to ALL tmobile towers, priority on your service, and no speed limits. Being a tech guy you wouldn't want to have a speed limit. The other thing is customer service, and not feeling like you're trying to be a part of a pyramid scam when you want to just sign into your dashboard abd pay your bill.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Solavei is only a mvno, and they only piggy back towers, and at that, only some of the towers.

Again, what APN are you guys using? I wonder if you changed APNs if it would improve?

I've used and tested every variation that was provided, including the dual apn's, but slavery sends an automatic apn setup through a special text message, which is what worked the best. I'm on T-Mobile note, but if you really want nee to get that apn for you, you can pay for the solavei plan, cuz I'm not doing that again lol.

Like the title says, trying to use my T-Mobile Note 3 to stream movies via Xfinity app but apparently only Verizon users have this privlage. That's pretty messed up, may drop Comcast if I don't find a solution. Is there some kind of FCC rule against this kind of thing?

Would love to see if there is an old app that works before an update or if there is a hack to trick fake wifi over 4g
