Can I use my G2 on Metro PCS?
I can't put up with T-Mobile's BS anymore.

Not possible. However you can put it on AT&T (all you have to do is unlock it).

I didn't put up with it either and moved to simple mobile. Simplemobile(one word). The same coverage, speed, everything. Except cheaper and no taxes! Me and my wife love it.

Guys.. the best decision i have made in awhile.
I did the math. I broke contract, and even with the early termination fee, it will be cheaper in the next two years than staying with tmobile. In the first year the ETF will be paid off.
I switch between the 60 and 50 dollar plan. One being unlimited and the other 1000MB. With no taxes its awesome. My wife uses the 40 a month plan. Both with unlimited text included. So its $90 to $100 a month. With tmobile I used to pay $119.99 for unlimited talk and text for me and my wife. Plus my unlimited android web for another $20. Thats all before taxes!!!! They would average between 17-27$!!!!! $160-$170 a month after taxes!!!
EFF TMOBILE!!!
How much would it be for 3 lines?

Well how's their customer service? If they're the same nework as T-Mo, then that means my reception at home would continually be dropping in and out.
I read recently that T-Mo has a Cel-fi unit that is supposed to amplify the signal, which isn't readily available to anyone unless they threaten to cut service with T-Mo.
My question is, is there any kind of access to such equipment with SimpleMobile?
I don't know if the cell-fi thing is any different, but as of a little while ago, you can connect via your own home wifi (or any open wifi) and use that to make calls or send texts...behaves the same as if it were a tower (but internet is way faster). You don't need a special unit for that. The question is whether that feature works on SimpleMobile. I'd hope so, but wouldn't be surprised if it didn't.
I'm intrigued by this SimpleMobile...I can get a G2 off of CL for $300, and call it a day. The main complaints I've found have been either from the dealer side concerning new activations (though, a hassle there is still a hassle/delay for me), and no three-way calling. Some have mentioned slow internet, but that seems to be a t-mobile "feature" in general, so I dunno if it's any slower...don't see why it would be.
I'm still on my 30 day return period, so yeah...hrmmm.
Anyone else using this?
man....if you guys only KNEW how much they charge in canada for ****tier plans...I'm on 250 daytime mins, unltd evening and weekend, my 5, ultd text, and 1000mb data for $85 a month...and that's the "norm" up here for those options.
christ I wish we had a "unlimited text and talk" plan...

So do they offer a family plan or is it indivdual and do they offer insurance? Does SimpleMobile plan on moving to a 4G network and does it support it if it is in the area?
Metro pcs uses sim cards for their "LTE" phone I forgot what the phone was called but I'm pretty sure it was made by samsung.. anyways would the g2 be able to get atleast edge with the metro pcs sim?

Go to the site. Links are above
I pay about $72 a month on T-Mobile flexpay. No contract. 500 anytime minutes, free night and weekends, unlimited T-Mobile to T-Tmobile and unlimited texting/data. I purchase phones from craiglist or ebay and when I want to upgrade I sell the old phone to offset the cost of the new one. I've been on the plan for almost 2 years now and have been happy with it. It's cheaper then any contract plan and I get all the latest phone and service options. That being said, I'm always looking for something cheaper. Virgin Mobile's $25 plan interests me but their phones aren't quite next gen. I still need to look into flashing a Verizon or Sprint phone to one of the other prepaid carriers. Simple Mobile is interesting also and seems to have everything I want in a carrier: ability to have a rooted Android phone, "4g" speeds, unlimited texting and "unlimited" data. However upon Googling simple mobile I'm seeing threads about their "unlimited" data cap being only 1gb while most other carriers don't throttle or disable speeds until 5gb. I tether my phones internet to a laptop while I'm at work and will easily go over 1gb in a month. I've never had a problem with T-Mobile and I'm pretty sure I've used over 5gb in a month with some light Netflix and other downloads. So have those of you using Simple Mobile had any data problems or know if this has been changed?
I'm on my phone here and search was of little use so I'll pose the question anyway. If there is another thread pertaining to this topic, please direct me there.
I just recently discovered SIMple Mobile. They offer SIM cards and an unlimited prepaid service. I have read around and seen that they use the T-Mobile network. Now, my question is because they use their network, will T-Mobile radios still work on my G2 if I were to switch over to that carrier?

Simple Mobile = Garbage. Unless you want to use your phone only for texting and a few incoming calls (and a lot of times voicemail doesn't even work), just pay the 89.99 for unlimited everything from tmobile. They claim to have unlimited data, but I personally and a friend of mine had our data turned off after 1gig of usage. Also customer service is nonexistent, you'll have an easier time getting a rep from metropcs on the line, lol

I stand strongly behind what PaganAng3l says. I have simple mobile, and it was the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life... I am switching to another carrier asap...

what plan were you using? im on the $40 unlimited thing, but the 3g speeds are starting to annoy me so im about to give the $60 unlimited for the apparent "4g" speeds.

I am glad I came across this thread, I was actually thinking of using Simple Mobile, you can't beat the pricing on the unlimited 4G plans. Based on the mixed reactions, I think I'll try Simple Mobile's 3G/4G speeds for a month and consider another carrier if they aren't what they are advertised as.

I have simple mobile on two phones. Best service ever. Internet is fast. I had the 60 buck plan which is awesome!! 40 buck plan is good but don't expect fast internet. Never ever had a dropped call. Have it on a g2 and a vibrant. Stay away from the real t mobile they are horrible! Get the sim card off ebay for 99 cents. Slide it in... oh yeah... then change the tmobile name and pass too Simple simple and your good to go.

I'd like to read your opinions about Straight Talk $45 UL plan vs Simple Mobile $60 UL plan. I'm now on the $30 100 minute 5G TMobile plan. I love the data allowance, and the price of the plan, but the 100 min is a deal killer (tried Skype, Groove IP, Vonage to help with minutes, but I'm sick of feeling embarrassed when people ask me what's wrong with my phone, no consistent quality with calls). So I'm considering my options, even if a little higher in price. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Also, if I'm missing other companies or plans out there, please let me know about them too.

Use T-Mobiles WIFI Calling. If you call for the free add-on when you use wifi calling the minutes don't count against you. I only run ROMS with the wifi calling feature working. Of course you need wifi inorder to use this feature.
anyone here on the $30 5gb unlimited text 100 minutes plan?
is your data slow? 1-3mb? im in DFW and according to the speed test thread others are getting much higher speeds. someone reported 15mb+!
I was able to get this plan after a week of countless tmobile support reps, 4 walmarts, 5 sim cards and 2 tmobile stores...
I dont really want to get into the details but finally got the plan but i am noticing 3g speeds and not the 10mb+ 4g speeds i was expecting. Is this plan even though a "Monthly4g" plan limited to 3g speeds? I have the 4g icon and show umts or hspa in phone info screens...
anyone have similar results, or any ideas? I have had this issue on every ROM including stock. I plan to visit a tmobile after work to view instore phone side by side with mine and compare data speeds.
No insights to share, unfortunately, although do please keep us updated on your experience. I'm thinking of switching to this plan as well.
Not too shabby.
I'm on the 'Walmart' plan in SoCal and have been getting 7-15mbps for the most part.
im on it and have recieved up to 18mb
i got that plan. my data is really fast. i even use it for tethering
Should be excellent in that area. The last time I went out there I was getting 6mb speed tests on my Vibrant. From Arlington all the way out to White Settlement.
Didn't make it to check another set @TMO today but testing again from home (white rock lake area) still 1-3m... Same I get @work in Las Colinas. frustrating...

I get anywhere from 500k - 13mb/s in DFW. I'm in tarrant county 90% of the time... mid-cities area. Everywhere I've tested in Dallas/N. Dallas, though, is always faster. I think the hspa+ is more built out there ... just more people, more tech industry, faster growth.
But yeah, the nice and releatively quiet suburbs of where live are not super fast. But im happy with my speeds

Better plans. I have a $20 5gb Unlimited with Mobile Hotspot. T-Mobile knows how to treat its customers right if you prove you are loyal (I've only been with them for 4 years and I'm a "loyal" customer).

It means first five gigabyte of data is 4 g then after that the rest is unlimited but at slower speeds.
And yes I agree t mobile has way better plan pricing than att
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I like how tmo does data better, throttling speeds rather than charging for overage. Sure, the speeds are slow as heck, but it's better than accidentally paying extra per month.
I don't know much about the att trick, so I can't comment on that. But I do recommend doing a mock plan on tmo's site to get a feel for the price difference you can expect.
Good luck with whatever you choose!

Go with at&t pre pay. I just dumped tmobile after 6 years. There a joke these days. Yes plans are great but customer care is horrible and the call centers are over seas now, talking with people who barely speak English is constant. The only way to talk to American customer service is say "cancel" at the automated system.
Also got different answers to questions every time I called in. Even called a liar about past problems. Tmobile use to be awesome but now I can't stand them.
I pay $50 with att for unlimited everything.
Tmobile just over $80 for unlimited everything.
At&t customer is better. I called in with trouble setting up voice mail. He set me up and even called back 10 minutes later to make sure every thing was working right. Can't beat that lol
Edit: I'm using a Tmobile s3 with at&t. No issues with voice or data and get 4g.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
I'm going to tell you why you're going with Tmobile. Yes, their customer service is over seas but only some of it is. I can tell you what to say in the beginning of the call prompt that will get you right over to the USA based retention department. Tmobile is actually addressing these issues as we speak. Their bringing more call centers back from over seas and are on a mission to get back to that top spot in customer service they held for so many years. It's kind of funny how their customer service was stellar until they started messing with AT& T. I wouldn't be surprised if ATT gave them a list of **** they wanted done before the buy out went through.
Now, onto mobile services. If you get a good signal with both of them then I would side with Tmobile. HSPA+ uses less batter power than LTE. When it comes to overages, I think ATT charges you for every MB used after 5gb and Tmobile just throttles your speeds back to the equivalent of 2G data speeds. I believe Tmobile also has a 10gb plan if you think 5gb won't be enough. In 3 years, I've never came close to going past 5gb and I use my 4G connection quite often. I tether it to my laptop and take let. I play Counterstrike through my data connection sometimes and I used to play WoW through it. I think the most I've ever used was 4600mb. As long as your not using your phone data connection to download multiple torrents a day then you should be fine. When it comes to plan prices, well that's a no brainer. Tmobile definitely has better priced plans and less nick/diming charges.
Lastly, I believe ATT along with Verizon are excluding certain features from the GS3. I just found out about one tonight. Everyone on ATT has reported the absence of a Driving Mode icon within the notification pull down menu. Tmobile does in fact have this driving mode feature. That's the only one I know of at this point but there could be more.

Just an FYI, if you go with TM and would like to take advantage of their future LTE network, the TM version of the S3 will not be compatible as stated HERE.

I got a unlock code from Tmobile before I cancelled service. Went to at&t store and then set up my unlimited plan and got the SIM. After that set a apn for at&t and your good to go. Tmobile service in my area is 2 bars max and edge data speed. At&t data has been awesome where I'm at(out in the middle of no where)
You can let people tell you Tmobile is getting better but after 6 years of hearing it I gave up. Tmobile has started there "trying" to make things because they lost top spot for customer service. There gonna do nothing but blow smoke up your *** when there's a problem.
I had problems with roaming on my s3 and was calling in quit a bit. In the end there solution was to tell me that they don't have a roaming deal with at&t in my area. Funny because my old Samsung flip would roam in the same area no problem. After telling them this, he asked me to wait on hold for a few minutes while he looks into something......he transferred me to someone else instead. You go with Tmobile you'll regret it.
3 family members who also were fed up with them followed after I confirmed how much better at&t was.

A prepaid gophone plan. You can find it on there website. When I went in to there store I just told them I wanted the $50 dollar unlimited prepay plan. Unlimited voice, messaging, data. So all I do is buy a at&t $50 prepaid card. Comes to$55.01 with tax. Don't know if they throttle or not but so far things have loaded quickly since I got the plan, and still going strong.

Which is better? Where I live I get full coverage from both carriers. So what are the advantages of being with T-Mobile?

Better plans. I have a $20 5gb Unlimited with Mobile Hotspot. T-Mobile knows how to treat its customers right if you prove you are loyal (I've only been with them for 4 years and I'm a "loyal" customer).

How much is the Mobile Hotspot?
Another great thing I don't think anyone has mentioned yet is T-Mobile's FREE Wifi Calling. It does not use your plan minutes and you can use it over seas instead of paying roaming charges.

So just like the title says I want to make a switch from Sprint and T-mobile seems to be the most reasonable carrier to switch to financially speaking. I posted on here because I am looking to make an even exchange for another gs3 for this carrier.
My question is, has anyone on here switched from Sprint to T-mobile and if so how does the service compare? Signal issues? ROM comparisons? LTE coverage? Anything at all?

I did and never looked back. I finally can see 4G logo on my phone and speed is great for me. Check your area tho. Bill is about the same, roms are good and my text messages they just go, not hanging on sending for ever. Hope this helps.

I'm in the process of moving from a grandfathered Sprint SERO plan (unlim 3G data, unlim text, unlim nights+weekends, unlim sprint-to-sprint, 500 min, for $30/mo) over to the Tmobile-based Walmart Family Mobile. (5GB 3G data, unlim min, unlim text, for $40/mo)
Sprint gives me better rural coverage, but T-Mobile data coverage/speed is much better in my city.
I HATE to give up the cheap Sprint plan, but I just can't deal with the slow speeds anymore.
I switched last december. Very happy with the service. Never got 4g with sprint. Have 4g almost all the time now. My monthly bill only increased by twenty dollars. Worth it to be rid of sprint.
