ATT is screwing me by refusing to carry forward my unlimited data plan to LTE and has repeatedly tried to force me onto a capped plan.
I saw a newspaper ad today (archaic - I know!) saying T-Mo has an unlimited everything plan for this phone for $90 and it's tempting. I'm hoping to sell or swap my existing GS3.
Is there anything I should be aware of?
Also, what is T-mo's take on this plan if I try to tether?
Thanks.
I'm pretty sure you can just swap sims? Tethering has been beaten to death on these forums. I'd take a few minutes to search and ask your questions in those threads if they haven't been covered yet.

His S3 won't get HSPA on T-Mobile. He needs a T-Mobile S3.

I think I already made it clear I anticipated getting a new S3. I know that they aren't fully compatible for 3/4G/LTE.
Re: Tethering. I though this was a new plan - it appears to be as much in the advert.
They block tethering on unlimited data plans but rooted tethering might work. I haven't tried it yet.

They are trying to kill teather with updates. I tried T-Mobile with still having my main line on att. Speeds were either really fast or dead slow. I'd rather just stick with att because it's decently fast wherever I go.

I just recently re-upped with T-Mobile. They have two types of plans out right now. They have what they call the classic plan and I can't remember what their new plans are called.
Anyway, with the classic plan you get the phone subsidized, but the plan itself is pretty expensive. On the other hand if you get their newer plan, you pay full price for the phone, but the plan itself is dirt cheap (cheapest I can find among the major carriers). While $600 for a phone might seem like a lot, they only require a $200 down payment and since you're starting a new contract you'll probably get $100 or so knocked off. The rest of the price of the phone is spread throughout the first 20 months of your contract.
Applying a little basic finance and assuming you have a decent stock portfolio, I estimated my cost of my Galaxy S3 at around $350 and my monthly fees went down from $230-250 to its current $140-150.
Don't know much about T-Mobile signal in your area, but if you can manage a consistent 3G I'd say it's worth the cost savings.
I would tell you that you will be very happy with t-mobile vs att, I did the switch my self and I couldn't be any happier, my data is very fast and yes it is faster than att and I get 4g 95% of the time in my area, my brother still have att with the s3 and my phone is way faster than his, on a speed test mine gets between 17000-22000 kbs consent vs his the highest he gets is about 5000-8000

Ok i gotta add my two cents. Are you a freaking idiot? I came from tmobile to sprint 9 months ago. and sprint is byfar sooooooooooooooooo Superior to Tmobile in every aspect. I hope you enjoy there "4G Network" which is really just 3G on drugs. And also enjoy there data throttling after 2GB of use. And Also enjoy the Slow...sation. With its 768mb of RAM and its Qualcomm S3 Processor and lackluster GPU. You my friend are one smart cookie. Enjoy your downgraded device as well. Lmfao.

john!
i had to press down on the brakes to get my truck to stop!
he is on their prepaid plan which is 5GB data (2g afterwards), unlimited text, and 100 voice minutes.
you cant assume tmobile sucks everywhere, its actually good in some places. such as in chicago. my cousin averages 5-10mbps.
though sprint sucks in chicago (at least most places i go to. average 50-750kbps). wimax is decent but connection isnt reliable and kills the battery.
im actually doing the same thing. im contemplating in switching to their prepaid plan (but still with a sgs2, possibly a note if it comes out). just makes sense for me. much cheaper but i still get faster data speeds. id never go over 5gb as im usually on wifi but when im out and about, i need some sort of good connection.
dont use voice too much and voip might me a solution (gonna try it out for a month before i cancel sprint)
no need to hate on the guy, it is somewhat relevant as he switched from e4gt to another phone.

I was one of the people who switched to sprint during the scare of a buyout of tmobile from the evil empire. Well I used this phone a whole great deal while working as a person tech to download drivers and such. Now sprint is terminating my contract and I have to move elsewhere. I am wondering who is the best alternative to sprint, and wondering what phone to get. I also want to know about where I can sell this phone.

I would go RAZR MAXX if you dont mind the locked bootloader, just on size and battery life. But being the tinkerer I am I would end up on the GNEX in the current selection sadly.

That explains AT&T's higher priced plans. IS that why the OP already called them evil empire.
Definitely find the coverage and plan that fits you but I always tell people to pick the phone that you know you will like. Settling for a device that we use for so many things even before rooting is not going to end well.
Good luck.
At least any of the other major networks will be a huge upgrade over sprint in data speeds. I came to sprint from T mobile and I really regret it. Though I think my sprint phones are awesome, they are crippled by an awful network.

Actually, here's the reason for AT&T's high priced plans. Randall Stephenson compensation Now for a point of reference here is the compensation for the POTUS
Randy had AT&T buy his house when Corporate HQ was moved from San Antonio to Dallas. He and his family enjoy free health care for life.

Actually, as a member (unemployed) of local 613, I do understand labor union priorities and politics. I don't have a problem with unions in general but do not for one second proclaim their method of operation as a universal fit for everyone. It isn't.
As someone who is working (cue scary voice) non-union, I shouldn't be criticized for doing what is necessary to provide for my family in both where I work or whose phone service I select. (getting back to the topic of phones)
That attitude is a large part of how Apple operates (trying to stay on topic) and since we are h4x0rs, we must recognize that sometimes the universal fit, is not for us.
To the OP -I apologize for my contribution to the thread jack.
We have the latest smart phones but cant use to its fulk capabilities because network is horrible anyone else getting ready to leave sprint it makes me mad that i have full bars and i cant not use web

Seeing as I just came from T mobile it is amazing to see how drastically different the networks are. I will tell you that the LTE is pretty amazing (I live in Kansas City) the few times I have been able to get it so it gives me some confidence that it will catch up pretty soon.
I used to have tmobile and it was pretty crappy im in chicago and i hope this network issue speeds up cuz its getting annoying

You knew this before you bought the SIII. Fortunately for me, I do live in one of the launch cities for their LTE. While it is still spotty where I live, I am seeing the 3G boost. I guess it's a matter of where you live. If the 4G speeds i've gotten is an indication, where it has tested as high as 28 megs, a little more patience will go a long way.
I think he is one of those never happy customers.
Complained about TMobile, complains about sprint. IF he went to att he would find something to complain about them as well.
If your unhappy with it do something about it other then letting us know your not happy.
IF you need the number to Sprint let me know, i will google it for you..
Im on Sprint. I am patient enough to wait out the issues and am finally seeing some improvement..
Sprint has best price and best phone selection.

If you posted this from your phone, logged onto this forum and made a thread. Is that not using the full capacity of the service provider on your mobile device?
Most people here have been with sprint prior to coming to the S3 and we just deal with it mostly because of price and unlimited data. It's pretty well known that sprint doesn't have the best coverage (could change in the future) and if this is a deal breaker for anyone then that person should've researched more before signing on.

If you're near Chicago it may be an issue with the pending upgrade to LTE.
I just came to Sprint from Verizon because Verizon is too expensive and because they (and the handset manufacturers whose phones they sell) lock everything down so tightly. I really got fed up with them when they claimed that the OG Droid (which I owned) was not capable - from a hardware standpoint - of wireless tethering when my Droid was rooted and I was actually tethering. Sprint's coverage is currently not as good as Verizon, but it is cheaper, it is unlimited data, and I think it will be much better coverage when the upgrade to LTE is done and they "turn on the switch." Until the upgrade is done why don't you just quietly "ride out the storm."
That being said, I get 4G about 80% of the time and am getting about 15M up and 1.9M . Maybe you can look forward to that.
Sprint does do things as- backwards,
Sprint was the First with the Best 4G device available, the Evo 4G, but most customers never saw Wimax to take full advantage of the Evo's capabilities.
I didn't see Wimax until over a year later, and I was one of the fortunate ones
All the promises by Sprint regarding Wimax coming to your city soon, were emptier than a pot full of gold left in the middle of Times Square at High Noon.
Now we have LTE, well most really don't, at least for now.
I do hope that LTE is not rolled out like Wimax Never was.
Hey, I got my S3 without LTE availability yet. Was this a smart choice? Probably not. But I like the S3 if it begins to have the ability to make calls without constantly dropping them.
Hopefully the LF9 modem takes care of this.
Yet I digress.
As I said, Sprint's track record has been poor regarding rolling out Networks. I will be happy if LTE proves me wrong........

You do know that Sprint is currently in a total rebuild of the Chicago system with the Network Vision/LTE upgrade. According to S4GRU.com they are about 40% built, with an estimated deployment of September 2012. When they rebuild a market there are disruptions.
I, on the other hand am in a market not even scheduled for LTE yet.
Been thinking of leaving Verizon for T-mobile,how is the coverage.
customer service etc.
Verizons network is 99% lte even if it is slow lte since it was one of the first carriers to have it, days of pulling 60mbps are gone. TMO i prefer because it is less congested so you will pull faster speeds in lte zones and get lower ping. I had a bf who uses tmobiles lte as his home wifi and latency was no issue in mmos whereas in same spot with verizon where I pulled 60/20 with a htc thunderbolt two years ago.... i get 12/4.
Switching also gets you access to free international data & apps like spotify dont use your plan and all plans are unlimited data its just 4G speed caps... 0 overages ever. Magenta plans on converting entire 3g market into lte by end of year I heard so its a solid move. I would do it honestly I have both right now due to parents making me stay on it and tmobile has vastly improved on a monthly basis almost here. If you had asked this two years ago ide of said stay on big red but its not the case anymore.

Reason i asked was Facebook was magically eating data to the tune of 3 gb plus ate all my verizon data.
unless you travel check you coverage or just try tmobile for 7 days check out the program
you be out of contract
If you have T-Mobile coverage where you live then go for it. Do you have any friends with T-Mobile? If so, ask them to come over and see how the network is. I left VZW for T-Mobile but where I live I have great coverage for both companies.

service and customer service is top ship. I've been with TMO for 12 yrs or so. Depends on the area you are in .. With that you will have to do the research. Customer svc is great with them. I switched to VZ because i moved to an area where tmo had 1 tower and i could not get a signal at work. I've since switched back and found that the lack in coverage, is great compared to the price difference. I'm paying for 5 phones with TMO what i was paying with VZ. At home i'm on wifi. out in town i get 4g. I live just outside of a 4g area probably 2 miles, so when i'm out and about I get great coverage, when i'm at home, i'm on wifi. My TMO 4g speeds are way better then my wifi at the moment with WOW but i'll wait for them to finish their upgrades as TMO just started expanding the network to rural areas outside of urban cities. For me is was price over performance and VZ completely screwed me over with the launch of the G2 that had flaws, they knew about it, and would not let me trade the phone in. Sorry, but telling me wait a month for the update to use my phone was not acceptable. I'm now willingly using my wifi instead of 4g.
Lately I have been experiencing poor service with simple mobile. In addition to that, they used to have an unlimited flat rate plan, now they add tax. And also they throttle you to edge speeds after 3gigs of data use. After they throttle me, when I reup for the next month it is like a **** show trying to get 4g speeds back. Their CS sucks and they blame it on my phone or sim card all the time. Im officially done.
1) Is there a better mvno out there?
2) Right now i got simple mobiles $50/month plan unlimited everything until after 3gigs of data, then edge speeds and with tax now its $55 and change. Im considering metro pcs $60 flat rate plan unlimited everything for $5 more. Anyone have experience with Metro PCS?
3) Metro pcs offers 4g "lte" speeds, is our phones capable of 4g "lte"? I think simple mobile uses "hspa+" which is supposedly equivalent, doubt it.
Thanks guys for the help.
Don't know about mvno's, but the T999 is not capable of LTE. You'd need the T999L, or if going with Metro, the T999N.
Metro is a good one if you don't want or can't unlock your device. Speeds are as good as T-Mobile with all taxes and fees included and its a flat rate if you pay online, and at store its only $3 payment fee.. As doc said T999 doesn't support LTE, only T999L and T999N..
So both the t999l and t999n are lte capable, but the t999l will not get lte with metro? What service for t999l then?
The two are identical in terms of hardware. Just one has T-Mobile firmware and the ither has metro firmware.

Wow that sounds good! Is it 4g speed data...through the whole 5gigs?
Update: Actually I just read their $45 plan, it says unlimited data and after 3gigs, speed is throttled for remainder of month. It is still $10 cheaper though than simple mobile. Might check it out, thanks.
Yeah I tried Simple Mobile once, they are ridiculous. You go over your data and they pretty much shut your data off and you can't even pay more to get more data. I use straight talk t-mobile on my t999l and love it. Get 3 gigs of 4g lte and after they throttle to 3g I belIeve, I didn't even have to unlock my phone just dropped in the SIM and set the apn and was working. For 45 a month I would recommend to anyone.

Get 3 gigs of 4g lte and after they throttle to 3g I belIeve, I didn't even have to unlock my phone just dropped in the SIM and set the apn and was working. For 45 a month I would recommend to anyone.

You're probably using the T-Mobile straight talk if you didn't have to unlock

Wow that sounds good! Is it 4g speed data...through the whole 5gigs?
Update: Actually I just read their $45 plan, it says unlimited data and after 3gigs, speed is throttled for remainder of month. It is still $10 cheaper though than simple mobile. Might check it out, thanks.

when I started it was 3GB but they upped it to 5GB after a month. this is the AT&T plan, maybe TMO is different.
It's not LTE, it's HSPA+ but quite fast here in Maine.
As to unlocking, I just called TMO and they emailed me the code. I owned the phone free and clear.
I get LTE here in Las Vegas on the T-mobile Straight Talk.
