Am I the only one ordering the phone through project fi and keeping my service with tmobile? I think I will just get the phone through there and spend additional $30 a month so that I could get the phone
What do you mean about spend the additional $30 a month, you mean financing it through Fi?

The Fi basics is $20 plus $10 for 1GB that's $30 plus $30 for the installment plan in total of $60+ tax. Who knows, I might like Fi better. My current bill for tmobile is $150. I still owe money from the note 4 and g3

Oh ok, you plan to use Fi. Thought you meant you were going to finance it through Fi and use T-mobile service on it which won't work, the phone will be locked to Fi while it's financed until you pay it off.
My invite says it's 2/3 weeks away. That I am on the list. I'm hoping to grab a 5x through fi for my fiancé. I'm converting her from the iPhone lol. She's game too. I was kind of shocked, but she was good once she seen the video.

I tried to got that route thinking it would let me bypass the wait. Unfortunately I finally got my invite this morning and wasn't even able to order the phone. I'm already on the waitlist.
So I guess I'm not sure what you think you'll be gaining by getting it Fi. The price is the same and availability is the same. I would just buy it through the store is you have no need for the service itself.
Off topic question about Fi, I should be getting an invite in a few weeks, but I am still on Verizon. Will Fi start charging me once I receive the sim, or will it only charge me when I activate it? I would assume activation

True, but I'm not willing to shell out $690 upfront, hence why I'm doing the installment plan. God knows how long it will take for the phone to hit the stores, if it ever will

Android pay works with root, you have to unroot while entering cards, then you can root again.
How'd you get an instant invite? Most people have to wait weeks. Root shouldn't effect service.
Not sure, maybe location? Wasn't expecting it, on an one m8 at the moment and don't feel like messing with it to make pay work on it. Using T-Mobile $30 prepay at the moment and not really using any where close to my 5G's of my data, and using hangouts for 90 % of my calls works ok, so I figured I'd give fi a try.
Now that you're signed up for Project Fi, all that's left is for us to ship your order. We're on it, and we'll follow up with a separate shipping confirmation.

You may be able to add cards while you unroot, but the actual tap and pay will not work if you are rooted.
I got an instant invite too. I think it probably has to do with location. Fi is an experiment, so Google would probably want to have people running it all over the network area.
Where did you see that it would be SIM locked to Fi? If that's true, I'll probably just cancel my order because I have very little faith that the service will be acceptable where I live. I was going to give it a shot and if it sucked, I was just going to throw my Verizon SIM in.

You might be correct about sim locked, but they do require active service while doing payments so it wouldn't be a good deal for someone to Pay $20 plus taxes a month just to be able to finance the phone if one doesn't plan on using Fi service.
I ordered my Nexus 6P through Project Fi. The 128GB Aluminum model.

I am considering getting a Samsung Vibrant these days. There is one thing that bother me a lot.
I am a student from China. And I am getting a prepaid SIM from T-mobile without any kind of plan right now for the price reason.
I was wondering if I got a unlocked Samsung Vibrant from eBay and use it on the T-mobile network, do I have to pay for the data plan?
The thing is I owned a AT&T Fuze before and everything works fine on the T-mobile network except for the 3G. That's okay for me cuz I don't use 3G anyway. But there is one time that my friend who is on AT&T network borrow my Fuze for couple days, and AT&T just added the data plan for it automatically. My friend try to call the staff in AT&T and they said that since HTC Fuze is a smart phone from AT&T, it require a data plan so he cannot cancel it. And they can tell when he insert the SIM card and AT&T will get the IMEI from him automatically.
I just wondering will the same thing happen in T-mobile? 30$/month is way to much for me.
BTW, there is another question for you guys. There is a lot of unlocked Galaxy S on eBay, which is nice. I was wondering how they get it unlocked? Can I get them unlocked right in the "carrier shop"? Or there is other ways that I can get the unlocked code?
Thx you guys anyway for answering these questions. BIG HAPPY FACE
You might have to spoof the IMEI, you're in the same boat as my friend. He wants to use his old Sidekick plan with the phone but since's it's not a Sidekick he can't use the data at all because they know he's using a smart phone. Discussing IMEI's is not usually allowed on xda because it's illegal in some countries. I think that's your only solution though.
Wait a few months until the phone is more popular and you'll be able to easily find ways to spoof the IMEI. So far I have found none.
you have to have the android web spoofed or not. Without it TMO will lock you out of the market and mms
Sent from the best phone from TMO... Vibrant
as long as you use t mobile prepaid, you won't be charged for a data plan.
Why do you want to buy those expensive vibrants from ebay? I'd rather buy it from tmobile with 2 year contract, then cancel the plan and pay the ETF.
You can try to ask a t mobile online csr for the unlock code. Just tell him you will travel outside of us.

He said he is a student from china so I assume he does not have a SS# and without one he cannot sign up for a contract.
The best thing you can do OP is buy a Galaxy S i9000 off ebay. Tmobile only has the IMEI for the vibrants. That way you can pop your sim into the international version and they wont know.
Or get a sim card from mysimplemobile.com $60 a month for unlimited everything and it uses tmobile service. That is what I switched to and it works with my vibrant without an unlock.

Yup. You are right. I don't have the SSN right now so it's difficult for me to sign a contract.
The international version which is the i9000 is not bad. But I notice the price for the international version are significantly more expensive than the vibrant, for like 100-200$.
Anyway, thx for the suggestions.

Im using the vibrant on tmo after upgrade. you can go online and remove the service. I paid for one month and canceled. you just change the type of phone to one not requiring android data plan ie a non android phone and it will let you remove it. I'm using it purely on wifi. just remember you will need it unlocked or w/ 3g to activate it initially or after wipe.

Ahh, Hmmm I paid the full 500 and today is the last day I can return mine. How much was the termination fee out of curiosity?
Another question, I have been using mine prepaid for almost a month now and TMO hasn't given me any trouble with it. (Aside from the reps in the store when I went to buy it).
Do you think I should bother to spoof my IMEI? Is that something that can get a fellow into trouble in this paranoid new world?
From what I've read everywhere else, it seems that TMO needs your business and won't give you any trouble using a prepaid sim in the phone. Whose to say that won't change in the future though.

You can usually get a contract from T-mob with your passport and your F1 student visa (assuming you're on a F1). You'll have to wait for about an hour in order for them to get approval from headquarters, but it works fine. Got my Vibrant that way, and while the charges are high at least you get unlimited data (as in really unlimited), so watching videos, listening to pandora and all that is a non-brainer..

That's the thing I don't understand. I paid $199 for my Vibrant on a 2-year contract. I have a $200 ETF, which means that I can cancel, and get the phone for $400. For a non-contract, I would have paid the full $500.
So what one can do is use the Even More for one month (which is +$10 from the Even More Plus). Then cancel, pay the ETF, and move to the same Even More Plus plan. Which would mean you would get no contract for $400.
Am I missing something?

is this really possible? amazon currently has the vibrant for $0.01 with a new contract. so in theory, one could sign a new contract, cancel and pay the ETF of $200, and get the phone for $200.01?? then sign up for an even more plus plan with no contract? (i also thought EM was $20/month more than EM+)
any input would be appreciated. this sounds too good to be true
You can buy a Vibrant and use it on prepaid you are just going to pay $500 for the phone. T-Mobile doesn't care they wont and can't charge you extra.
I would recommend checking out flexpay, you can get a monthly plan and get data if you want it. If not go with prepaid $15 a month gives you unlimited SMS and $0.10 a minute and just use wifi when you need data.
One last thing is do not recommend imei spoofing as its illegal here.

If you cancel with amazon within 6 months you pay an added 250$ ETF to them. So it would be 450$ all day.
I got mine from costco for $99 and canceled for 200$ after ETF. So $300 total. You also get a free cheap case car charger and bluetooth from them. Oh and no activation fee.

nice. i'll look into something like this. i wonder if best buy / radioshack / car toys also have ETF fees of their own... (no costco membership for me)
I am kinda confused by this.
So I am in a stick situation here.
My parents have a family plan and I bought a Vibrant adding onto their Even More plan, which requires the $5 add a line and also $30 data plan. But I kinda think I don't really need data plan/3G cuz I am mostly home and don't quite use 3G unless I am not home, which isn't too often. $30 is a little money wasting, so I was thinking of just getting my phone without contract by paying $500 and just adding to my parents' Even More plan without data plan to save money.
But since I got my phone from Costco for $200 (when did this $99 deal start? I got mine a week ago...), does that mean I can just cancel and save money instead?
Important question though: Is it really true that there is no Android Market access without Tmo smartphone data plan? Why is this so? If so, is there any way of my getting away with it in my case?
Thanks,
FYI, if you have an F1 visa or any student visa you can do a contact with T-Mobile with no deposit and no ss#. This is something relatively new to t-mo. Just go to any corporate store location and they should be able to set it up for you. It takes about 45 minutes to process. That is the only down side.

I don't have a data plan, and I can access the Android Market just fine via WiFi. With Wifi at home and at work and most every place in between, the data plan is really pointless for me
and tell them you want their pay as you go service? If so, how much would it be for anyone thats thinking of going this route or has done it.

Thats what I'd like to know. Can it be done and how much? Will they bind you to a contract or can you go monthly on the spot.
You can buy it off contract but they will not put it on a pay as you go service on the spot. Buy the phone say its a gift for someone so they will not force the contract on you. Take the phone out of the box charge it and take it to another t-mobile and tell them you want to buy a pay as you go package. This was advice given to me by a T-Mobile rep
$499 at the local T-Mobile here in Michigan. Do with it what you want then. Played with it yesterday but no rush to get it at that price. My S3 is more than OK until more are available from the Play Store.
Yes. You can get it off contract at TMo but $150 more expensive than the Play Store. No difference for the phone with the Play Store version. You can then get a prepaid/pay-as-you-go activation kit from TMo. If you want the $30 5GB plan though, you'll have to get that one online.
Bought it off contact for 499 at my local tmo yesterday. Only catch was that they insist the phone must be activated in order to leave the store. I was able to get set up with prepaid month to month, but not able to get the $30 online deal.

If you really want the $30, you can still get it online. Just chuck the SIM you got from the store and replace it with the online one.
you can do that but i dont think you will have warranty on it as if you were to buy it with a 2 year contract agreement

Have you ported your old number out yet? If you haven't just port it to the $30 plan, and forget about that first prepaid SIM's number. When you activate the $30 plan, there is a step that lets you port an existing number onto the new plan.
If you ported it to that first prepaid number, it gets more complicated. It's extremely difficult to get them to port a number Tmo to Tmo. It'll involve lucking out and finding a CSR who'll do it for you, or transferring the number you want between several carriers to be able to finally port it onto the $30 plan.
Hello there, is there anybody from US that can buy me a no contract N4 from T-mo?
I would pay for that
I really want to buy a nexus 4 and use T-Mobile prepaid service however i am currently locked into a contract until dec2013. My current options is to pay a $200 etf and sell my current galaxy nexus, however i would prefer to press my luck trying to not pay an etf. Has anyone had any luck doing so lately? I know about 10 years ago i cancelled att because i moved and didn't have any coverage at my new house and my cell phone is my primary phone. Just wanted to get some opinions, thanks!

I don't think you can get out of a etf should you decide to cancel your service. Its just a matter of whether you don't mind owing Verizon and just go ahead and get T-Mobile.
Pretty sure the only ways to not pay an etf on most carriers are:
- moving to an area of no coverage
- death (seriously)
- military deployment
& I am not sure of the others. & all of those, you need to provide paperwork/proof.
Good luck. I am currently wishing I could get out of my T-Mobile contract.

I did the same thing last month. they hit me with the etf but the way i look at it was that i was spending over $100 a month on my GNex with verizon, so etf was equal to two months of service with verizon. So i just swallowed it and paid the amount. you'll break even in about 3 months instead of waiting for Dec. VZW has you by your b***s.....
The monthly savings will compensate for your etf in 3 months but if you have an Unlimited data contract you can do a transfer of liability on that line. I just did this and sold my Unlimited line for $125( on HowardForums.com) and then there is no ETF, but you will lose your phone number. Is your phone number worth $325(selling of line + etf), to me it was.

Verizon's ETF is $350 minus $10 for every month you've paid into your contract and they will not let you out of it. If you do port the number early do it at the end of your billing period as Verizon will continue to bill you through the end of the cycle. I had to call them and get them to refund me 3 weeks that I didn't have service with them that they still automatically billed me for. They claimed they don't know when the port actually goes through so they continue to bill you just in case you change your mind.
join solavei! only $49 unlimited a month no contract and from the money you'll be saving monthly you'll break even in a month or two
There isn't a loophole to get out of an etf right now.

Don't have to lose your number, you could have ported the number over to google voice (or any other carrier) and just told verizon to provision you a new number on that line.
If you transfer responsibility of your line to someone else you don't pay an ETF.

You might be better off posting this in the Sprint section or maybe even the Verizon section. I do not know why a Nexus owner would ever want to go to the Verizon if you know what I mean.
I got out ETF free from Verizon a couple of months ago because I got bad service by my house and I am loving that I can now purchase a Nexus from the play store and use it on a pre-paid plan with no contracts or ETF's.
EDIT: This thread is so old. Why did you bring it back to life?

EDIT: This thread is so old. Why did you bring it back to life?
Just wait until it ended and buy the Nexus 5 which will be released about the sametime.

He brought it back to life because it was relevant to his situation. Why start a new thread when there is already one available?
You can get someone to take over your contract. What worked for me was I paid someone $100 to take over my contract with Rogers and i still kept my SGS3(which I sold to buy a N4) which was better than paying $500 to cancel

I currently have a unlimited plan, it still runs through 11/29/14 but I want out.
If somebody wants to take it over go for it, I will keep my phone so I can put it on my wifes plan.

The easiest way to get out of the contract is to make the carrier cancel it for you. "How do you make the carrier cancel the contract?" you ask...simple...roam.
Even though you probably have unlimited roaming on your plan, the carrier has a threshold that they really don't want you to cross because it costs them money when you use another carrier's towers. If you keep crossing that threshold the carrier will basically kick you off their network, effectively cancelling your contract.

I'd like to see if any of you with the Verizon "More Everything" plan will get to keep your "Month2Month" $25 discount when you switch to the 2015 Moto X. This was one of the issues we had with the Nexus 6, prior to VZW white listing all IMEIs.
There is confirmation that the new phone with work on Verizon and it appears that "Advanced Calling" works as well. Their new BYOD policy states you can bring any CDMA phone with no contract. I'm hoping that I dont have to switch to the full "no contract" plan, as it is actually a little more expensive than my current plan.
So, once you-all start getting your phones, can someone confirm that you are keeping the $25 discount please? Thanks!
As long as you have the discount already, it will work. Even a new customer who brings this device will get it right away, since there is no device being subsidized by Big Red.

My wife has been getting a discount for a job she worked 5 years ago and was just recently asked to update job info. Definetly not on top of things vzw.
But as stated in post above I think you will be fine until or if you make a plan change.

The month to month ($25) discount is different than the employer based discount (usually a percentage of the data plan).
With the Nexus 6 (prior to white listing), you would loose the $25 discount on the More Everything plan because the IMEI's were not in VZW's system. This didn't seem to have an affect on the employer discount. I'm guessing with their new policy that all will be well, but I'd like someone to confirm that has this plan and the new Moto X Pure.
It should be fine my contract ended yesterday and I have it applied already. Swapping Sim card shouldn't matter.
When I get mine I'll let you know otherwise it will be a lot of arguing with VZW

From what I saw with the Nexus 6, you should be fine. I'd bet you can even get the "out of contract" discount for not ordering a new device under contract.
I'm still curious if anyone is having issues with the Month2Month discount on the More Everything (Edge) plan...

Has anyone been able to successfully add on any international plan to your existing plans with Verizon? Rep I was chatting with let me know my 6P was not a Verizon supported phone for international plans and that I would have to upgrade in order to take advantage of that.
I've not tried, mostly because it is insanely expensive. I'm going to Europe in June and I plan to use Google fi for that trip. Another option is to buy a local Sim card.

Yeah I could do that. Only reason I wanted to go this route is cause in my head it was the easiest and I wanted to keep it all on one bill. Work is giving me $150 a month to pay for a company phone or add the international option to my existing plan, figured I would just add the $25 option to my plan and let those $150 pay for my entire phone bill.
I forget what the costs are, but I think the $25 only pays for them to turn on the International Plan. Then each MB and minute costs an additional charge, depending on where you are calling and how much data you use (not on wifi) it can add up very quick.
I'm going to India in 2 weeks and also plan to buy a local sim, so much cheaper than Verizon international plans.
