Sign up to get Nexus on Tmobile
http://www.samsung.com/us/register/galaxynexus/
I'm hoping this means that it will indeed come to T-Mobile. Wonder if it's just a way for them to see how much interest there is from each network to see if it's worthwhile bringing it to that carrier?
I don't see why they wouldn't bring it to TMo, their last 2 Nexus' did.
...Heck, they damned well BETTER bring it to TMo! I'm looking to upgrade my TMo N1 to TMo N3. TMo still has the cheapest rate plans out there!
I thought the Galaxy Nexus was a pentaband phone so it would work on both AT&T and TMobile's 3g/4g in the US. So there would only be 2 version of it - GSM (AT&T/Tmobile) and the CDMA
well signing up might just increase the chance to get this on Tmo. I would hate to switch to verizon

I believe that is correct, a GSM version that supports AT&T/TMobile has already passed the FCC. I feel certain it will be offered officially by Google, but if not, Negri and other outlets will most certainly have it.

would like it to be on tmobile.....i cant afford $500-600 bucks for new phone, i would rather get a contract and pay $200-250
Useful how the UK Samsung website has not a single mention of the Galaxy Nexus

False economy.
The T-Mo non-contact deals are around $20 less per month than the contract ones. That's $480 over 2 years...
I'm wondering if its smart to get a tmobile phone as the carrier might disappear in a short time. Either by att buying them and our 3g bands becoming useless (would you really want to have a nexus that's 2g capable only? ) or by implosion. Also those us us lucky enough to still be on the 10 dollars a month data plan....I don't know it I can justify having to pay $240 more for data every year...

It's not going to just disappear. It will work just as always, and you will be grandfathered in on your plan.
Trying to decide if I should stay with T-mobile
I'm trying to decide if I should switch to the $49/month family plan.
I would save money, but I don't want to commit to T-mobile until the plans for the Galaxy Nexus are announced.
Is Google going to have a US launch for this Device or is a Carrier? Or both.
I am really annoyed at Google for launching the Nexus phone, but not in America.
I might just stay with the Nexus One and not upgrade the phone for another year, it works great.
$49.99 a month, but you're restricted to 200MB of data per month LOL.

Not correct. If you obtain a T-Mobile branded phone, a newer android for instance, T-Mobile will make you upgrade to their new android data plan, no matter where you got it from. This is true for the old t-zones data plan and their web2go plans. So an international version, or an ATT version with tmob frequencies, would be more ideal.
There's a list of allowed phones over on the howardforums... Search for t-zones grandfathered plan.
I'm actually hoping T-Mobile doesn't sell these directly, because any imei of a phone they sell will be logged, and these two specific old data plans won't apply. But those of us with these old data plans are pretty rare.

That is exactly what I did. I paid the full $529 for the N1. With the $20/month savings = $480. The difference between the contract price of the phone $200 and full price = $329. Taking the $480 savings over the 2 years, subtract from $329 and I saved $151. Buying the phone full price was a better value than buying it with a contract. I know it seems like a lot at first but it saves money in the long run.

Now here's a twist that I did with my wife's phone...
Buy phone on contract for $200. Cancel the contract and pay the $200 ETF. You then pay $400 total for the phone instead of $530, and still get the $480 savings over 2 years... xD

That's way better than the 2GB/month tmobile's doing. I think it's maybe time to ditch tmobile anyway.

Where can I find that? Is that on Sprint?
whos with me ??
Just switched my plan over, 1 2 3
price stayed the same, now I can use 10-15-20 gbs a month! woot
So it stayed at 49.99 a month?
switched over yesterday and i'm spending $30 on the plan in addition to the talk and text i already have. saving $5/month now and i dont even use the wifi tethering
I'm on the value plan so im paying $5 less for going unlimited as opossed to my 5 Gigs of data
When I switched the tmo rep said the offer would only be available for a limited time, even when they discontinue the offer whoever got it will still be truly unlimited. I don't know if he was just trying to get me to upgrade the other lines though. Any who get it why it last!

Talking advantage now! Thanks! :victory:
I hate Telus. I pay 30 bucks for 6 gigs but they could care less if I tether. They even told me they have no way to check lol...I guess that's a plus. Besides I can't dent 6 gigs if I try...I live in so many wifi hotspots I never use data
I called twice to switch to their new really unlimited plan, and they both said "its the same as 5gb (the one I have), but without tethering. You'll pay $5 less, but you'll still get throttled at 5gb"
Obviously he had no idea what I was talking about. I want to switch and I can't do it from the 'my account' app. Any other way to switch? Will I have to go to the store :banghead: ?
Also, did you notice any changes in speed after switching? (even though I think you have to wait for your current data cycle to end to see the changes)

So I switched my line to the unlimited today and yeah it 10 bones more but damn its going to be nice..!!
And i was tethered to my laptop for a good 30 minutes no problems ..
I was on the 5G and the rep told me that this data plan would cost me $20.. but then again that was the four rep i talked to cause none of them knows a thing

It's $20 bucks for value plans, and $30 for Classic plans. I'm on value plan so I was paying $10 for 2g so now I'm paying $10 more for unlimited. I think its a pretty sweet deal

Hi everyone.
I'm getting the Nexus 4 launch day, but I don't have Tmobile nor do I know how it even works.. I'm looking to do a sim only plan since I will buy the phone from the play store.
So my question is.. Are the plans monthly? or long term? If so, what's the cheapest plan with data and unlimited texting? I don't need a lot of minutes. I've looked at the Tmobile site, but to be honest its kind of confusing..
also would it be worth it to upgrade to nationwide 4g? I'm currently at UCF so if anyone knows that would be awesome!
Thank you in advance!
its monthly with $30 per month with unlimited web/data(capped at 5gb)

One of their Monthly 4G plan for $30 (they have two plans for $30) comes with "Unlimited" Data 5Gb 4G, rest is miserably slow. unlimited texting and 100 minutes. I use it, If you don't use minutes that often it's great. I've only went over my 5Gb once, so unless you stream HD videos you should be fine. I listen to slacker almost everyday while i'm at work and have yet to go over.
It's only available if you order the Sim online and activate it on their website, or go to Wal-Mart.
As for the Sim-only plans, the Value Plans, I'm pretty sure they're contract plans. They don't advertise them as being pre-paid.
You just get a cheaper plan because you're not paying an extra $10 a month for getting a $400 for free or whatver.

this is my approach, just left verizon. I have the sim card waiting at home already, will go get a micro-sim on nov 13th, order the phone, wait and win. I utilize google voice, so voice/messaging doesn't matter to me and 5gb will not be "enough" but it'll be ok for the $30 a month

I have t-mobile unlimited value plan which is $70 and I am going to migrate to t-mobile unlimited business value plan which is $55
So if you have a business or anything get that
I've chatted with the T-Mobile reps online, asked them the same question.
If you are currently still in contract you will have to pay the ETF (Early Termination Fee) since the monthly 4g month to month and requires no contract. From what i have been told, if you want to switch and keep the same number you would have to do it over the phone with customer service. hope that answers your question

With ST you might be able to use 2GB data in 4G speed after that you will be getting 2G. But with the business plan you can get as much as data ou need in 4G speed :fingers-crossed:

Do you know if you its an absolute requirement that you own the business yourself? Can you, for say, be a vital senior part of a business owned by someone else? Also, where did you find the business rates/prices on the Tmo site?

no idea but you can call them and ask, here is the plan http://business.t-mobile.com/small-business/cell-phones-plans/unlimited-plans
Here's how I upgraded over 3 months early...
I went on AT&T's website and opened a chat window and said, "I'd like to upgrade to the Nexus 6 today and pay the 2-year contract price ($250). If you can't do this for me then I will be cancelling my contract today." I was told that I could not upgrade early and that I'd have to call 800-331-0500 (or 611 from my phone) and select the options for contract cancellation.
I called and told the woman "I'd like to cancel my contract so that I can switch to T-Mobile." And of course she replied, "I'm sorry to hear that. May I ask why you're switching?" I said, "...because AT&T is too expensive and I want to upgrade to the Nexus 6 and don't want to use AT&T Next." Then without any hassle, she offered to let me upgrade for the 2-year contract price. I went in fully prepared to pay the ETF since I thought for sure they would deny my request so they could stop my grandfathered unlimited data plan. She waived the upgrade fee, applied a $10 discount that I didn't know about, and even sent it overnight FedEx.
I'm sure you XDA experts have had better upgrade experiences, or maybe thought I got a bad deal, but I'm happy, and now hopefully now more people out there can upgrade early, too.

Well, you didn't really trick AT&T, they tricked you... After your 2 year agreement with them is over, they will make over $1000 from you, that's what you will end up paying for the $650 32 GB Nexus 6....

I would've had to pay for monthly service regardless what company I went with. Anyway I'm OK with sticking with AT&T since their service is pretty good where I live and I keep my unlimited data.

So you are paying full price $70 x 24 months + the full price for the phone $650 = $2330.
While I pay $71 (after tax) x 24 months + discounted price for the phone $300 = $2004.
Looks like signing a 2 year contract with ATT looks better.

Thanks for letting me know guys
Meh never mind.
I'm happy that you got what you wanted, but with such a steep subsidize price I oppted for the 24 month financing and paid 0 down and only raise my bill by $22 per month. I think it's a win win either way, but my rule of thumb is if you've got to pay more than $150-200 then you're better off going the payment route if you have the 10 GB data plan or higher which I do.
