[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky_snowman:
I did just this about two weeks ago. I went with tmobile $50 unlimited and cut my bill in half. I'm really sorry I didn't do it sooner to be honest. I paid my ETF, but that's ok because I'll make it up in like 3 months of having a lower bill. It was worth it to me, because verizon's anti-consumer nonsense was really starting to bother me, and their customer service has never been great in my experience.

Coverage with tmobile has actually been pretty good in Indianapolis. However, I'm currently on an Iphone 4 and can only get edge speeds as the network farm isnt done in my area. I really like the iphone a lot, considerably better than my incredible 2, though I will probably grab a nexus 4 when it comes out, if only for variety. It's nice being able to pop a sim card out of one phone and into another without the hassle of dealing with locked up, overpriced phones.

Do it, but you might want to think about keeping a spare phone around in case you have to have your nexus 4 repaired. an older android im sure would be fine, assuming it's a model with decent build quality that can stand the test of time.

Does Google voice work with tmobile prepaid plan?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testulous:
All these LTE threads leave me scratching my head. Is it really worth that much? I have LTE on several devices and it just kills the battery, and not much noticeable difference in speed from the regular HSPA or whatever Rogers (Canada) offers.

It's tough to imagine a situation where the extra microseconds saved in getting an email would be worth the battery-chewing LTE. Or maybe there's something I'm missing...? Is American LTE more battery friendly?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giant22000:
Totally agreed! American LTE is horrible as well. For me, LTE is not worth the atrocious battery life! I've had 3 LTE phones and they all suck battery horribly!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Just dependent on your area and how saturated the network is. Just keep it under 4GB and you'll be good.

If it turns out that your area is extra saturated with ST users, then you may not get as much data as you need. Good thing is you're not locked to anything more than the month you prepaid, you can switch to another carrier.

If you're just using GV for voicemail, it won't work because T-Mobile Prepaid doesn't have "conditional call forwarding".

if you use GV as your primary phone number, then it will work because no forwarding is happening. People call your GV #, you don't pick up, GV handles the voicemail. It's GV all the way with no carrier # in the middle.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edgeball:
Oh, i see thanks for the explanation. Gonna port my number to gv and use gv when I'll switch.

I'm on att paying almost $100.– every month for minutes I don't need.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobdude:
To add to this you will need to call them to turn off your voicemail. This will prevent your T mobile voicemail from taking over from Google voice.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techmatlock:
Yes, but you have to call them and disable your voicemail. Also, on Google Voice website it doesn't 'completely' activate t-mobile prepaid plans, but when you set it up it will still work with Google Voice. I've been using Google Voice for awhile now on T-Mobile.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patalo:
This has to do with getting the nexus and blah blah. But, it could be a solution. Is there a way to send the network(internet, messages, calls) to the Nexus 4 with Bluetooth and a WiFi hotspot? I would be willing to try if anyone has an idea if it would has potential to work.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techmatlock:
Good to know. I've never used HSPA+, but I wouldn't want to use a CDMA activated phone, so I'll stick with t-mobile.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dynamicpda:
I'll be leaving Verizon for T-Mobile. I should have gone through the trouble of getting a Galaxy Nexus GSM phone and using it on T-mobile pre-paid but that was outside of my way of thinking of the time. With discounts and deals, I pay about $100 for 10 GB, i use about 2 gb per month.

4G is great in my town where the signal is strong. With the terrible radio on the GN, the signal is 3G in too many places, especially indoors (where the S3 will pull 4G.) I get blazing speeds like 15mpbs up and down. The up part is uniquely Verizon LTE. All the other networks have asymmetric speeds with download being much much faster. Fast upload is useful if you are uploading pix all the time.

T-Mobile is cover probably pretty good in the Capitol area.

I plan to try the pre-paid $30 and then move to a contract, say $70 unlimited if necessary.

I hear that prepaid speeds are capped at 8mbps.

I wish I could get the phone in the November release, but after getting burned with the GN LTE, I'm gonna wait for the user reviews and for a hardware revision before getting the N4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umerien:
This might be a silly question but regardless I don't know the answer...if I buy nexus 4 from play store and pop in ATT prepaid sim...I know messaging and text will work but what about data?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Data will work, but you may have to manually set up the APN first
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
You'll have to set up an APN to get everything working.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yes. Yes it is. To leave a unlimited LTE contract plan for HSPA is complete madness. You should fight, scratch, claw and hold onto LTE. Now if it's never coming to your area or you are on a capped LTE plan? Then I can see a move. I'll be picking up a N4 myself, as a backup, but you would have to pry my grandfathered ATT plan from my dead hands.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgyberg:
I'm on unilm vzw right now and I'm thinking about selling my account on ebay. They are going for $200+. No etf and I'd sell my GNex and those should fund the N4. I dont use many minutes or data so the TMo pre paid sounds great!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eddog4DROID:
LTE is ridiculously awesome. And fast. I still am second guessing my decision. Verizon has wonderful coverage.

BUT... It's just so expensive. And I don't NEED unlimited data. I'm on WiFi at home and work. I use about 1GB a month. And If I upgrade on Verizon again, I will lose my unlimited data. ..meaning, I can only purchase at full price.. $600 or so; or buy used from here on out.

Many people are going thru this exact same issue right now to decide. Verizon and their arrogance has made it slightly easier.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccjb100:
Another one here. I had unlimited LTE and my wife the usual 2GB. Dumped everything, ate $450 in ETF, bought two new Gnex and went T-Mobile prepaid starting with the $30 5GB/100min plan. Certainly don't need unlimited and I am more than willing to accept the reasonable Tmobile speeds where I am in order to 1) Cut my bill to LESS THAN HALF...and 2) be contract free, and 3) have clean Android Nexus phones with updates as soon as possible.

We won't break even until summer next year but I'm cool with that. It was an easy trade for me once I knew we had decent Tmobile coverage in our area (eastern Long Island).

PS- I get 5-7 Mb/s down, 1.5-2 Mb up out here. Good enough for now. I'd love LTE which is lit up all over Long Island now....but not at the current cost for Verizon.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greefus:
I'm switching from Sprint unlimited data and roaming. HSPA+ seems like the next best thing aside from Verizon LTE which is way too expensive imo. HSPA+ seems like an upgrade from Sprint's WiMax.

I bought a Micro SIM activation kit from T-Mobile. I don't know if I should get Simple Mobile or similar instead. I just want unlimited HSPA+. I think my employer gives 10% discount for T-Mobile but I'm not sure it that includes pre-paid.

I'm pretty addicted to using Google voice for voicemail only. Seems I just have to tell t-mobile to turn off my voicemail for it to work. I always use it non integrated with Sprint, even though Sprint offers a special setup.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoff5093:
Even tougher for me, I'm only paying $61 before tax for 450 minutes, unlimited texting, and unlimited data on Verizon. I'd hate to give that up for only $15 savings per month, but I really want the N4!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajfink:
In a family plan, my current phone bill (for JUST my phone) comes out to over $100. I think I'll be switching to T-Mobile $30/mo unlimited. That will make up the ETF quickly enough.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZaelFaroe:
I am at just under $100 a month for 450 minutes, 1000 texts, and unlimited date on Verizon. Yes I am dumping them for a Nexus 4 and half the bill. I am probably going for either T-Mobile value plan or Solavei.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giant22000:
I used to feel this exact same way. But my wife is a stay at home mom now and I was looking to cut down on some bills with the cell phones being one of them. After finding out how much more battery friendly android is on a HSPA+ GSM Network, I most likely not have LTE again until it's technology makes more battery friendly.

I've had 3 different LTE phones and they all suck battery. On my maguro gnex I get the same battery life as I did with my Thunderbolt with the extended battery.

I also feel that on a tiered data based plan, LTE is completely useless! It's almost like giving you a camaro ss and only having 1 gallon of gas to use for the month... Fail!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowrider262:
Nope. I'm on tmobile prepaid $60 plan and was pulling 18mb down on my GS2 in good signal areas. But 6-8 mbs is about average
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altimax98:
I'm in the same boat as you. I can't see spending that much money for everything I don't use. I have cooperate discounts that Verizon gives me, and I still am leaving because its just unreal
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eddog4DROID:
Does anyone know if you can get insurance on a smartphone with Straight Talk? Like Asurian? Something more than the manufacturers protection?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky_snowman:
Yes, you can. Though I haven't.

It will require you to deal with the insurer by phone rather than being able to go into Verizon, talk to some idiot who can't help you, forcing you to call customer service anyway.

Sometimes I really don't understand why they even have retail locations. I haven't been able to get any real help at one since I had my razr flip phone.

The more I think about it, the more happy I am that I left that exceptionally anti-consumer carrier.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lisap006:
I know I'm coming in a bit late on this post but I was on the T-Mobile 30.00 Prepaid plan for the past year then life got busy and I could not do the 100 mins anymore so I switched to the 70.00 monthly 4g plan this last month.....I didn't wanna pay that every month so I started shopping around and people on Google+ kept referring me to Solavei which is a Tmo MVNO service. Ordered my sim Monday and received it this past Wednesday......The service is so much better then the actual T-Mobile monthly 4g plans and it works off the tmo towers. 49.00 a month unlimited talk text and 4gb web...and they pay you 20.00 a month for every 3 people that join under you on a prepaid visa card they send you. Its def worth looking into. Currently using the service with my GS3

Here is how you get paid: http://www.solavei.com/how-it-works/compensation

T-Mo is the way to go!

I've been with Tmo for about 4yrs after switching from VZW and still going steady on the Monthly 4G Prepaid Plan...

Currently I'm using my GS2 and ordering my N4 on Tuesday... If you're looking for good coverage and data speeds I'd suggest Tmo's Monthly 4G. If you use a lot of data like me you might want to get the Montly 4G Unlimited for $70 with No Contract.

Sell your account on ebay? I've never heard of such a thing. Is that really possible?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgyberg:
Yep! Only downside is you lose your phone number. I'm 99% sure I'm going to do it and grab the N4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red Wolf:
All of those MVNO service are not unlimited data, they will cap you after 2GB so stop dreaming. Until you have truly unlimited data you are not gonna get unlimited :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edgeball:
2 GB is way enough for me. I'm on Wifi at home and at the office. From and to the office by subway. I barely reach 1gb a month
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evolishesh:
I'm also trying to leave my unlimited data (Verizon) for the n4. But, I'm also a person who uses around 20gb of data a month, plus I've never been in an prepaid plan ever in my life. So my real question is, who offers better date coverage between at&t and t-mobile? Plus staying in North Carolina makes me kind of weary, just because the only company that has better coverage is Verizon. I've never tried any other except sprint. So, I would love to get your opinion. :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GodAres:
Honestly, you may be better off sticking with Verizon if you A) use that much data and B) are not in a big city in North Carolina. Both T-Mobile and AT&T cover most of North Carolina, but when visiting relatives that live in the boonies there, the data speeds are crap on AT&T (T-Mobile is faster in cities, worse in boonies). If you're in a bigger city there, you'll probably be just fine with T-Mobile coverage, but I'd still be very concerned about that amount of data usage.

I'm curious, how do you manage to use 20 GBs of data a month? It seems like you'd have to be streaming music/videos all day long while just driving around to come anywhere near that! At 20 GBs, I'd hold on to any truly unlimited data plan you can, because you'll never get unlimited on pre-paid... even "unlimited" pre-paid plans will throttle you to a crawl if you go over some threshold (if they don't outright terminate your service).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evolishesh:
Thanks! That's the type of answer I was looking for. It really made me make up my mind. Really, all I do is stream movies, videos, and listen to music from Google play.

How to signup Nexus 4 with Solavei

I tried to signup my Nexus 4 with Solavei but their website says that my phone's IMEI is not compatible and does not let me go further.

After talking to one of their independent reps I was told the company hasn't updated their log of IMEI #s to reflect the new Nexus 4 phones; however, the nexus 4 WILL work on their tmobile network just like any other GSM phone, especially since the last generation nexus is compatible. The IMEI check on their website is only so that they can ship you the correct size sim card (It is a micro-sim in the case of the Nexus 4). Here are the steps I took:

1. To begin signup of your Nexus 4 use this link.

2. Enter your zip to confirm coverage

3. [Important] Use the following IMEI # to get past the first step: 353022055115650 . This IMEI ensures you get the micro-sim card instead of a full-size sim.

4. Solavei asks if you want to port a phone # or have them choose a phone # for you.

5. Solavei asks for the usual personal information. Use a shipping address where you can sign for the shipment.

6. Solavei mentions that it will be shipping you a "sim" but does not go into detail whether it is a micro-sim or not. Don't worry. The IMEI # you used earlier ensures it is a micro-sim.

7. Finish the process and a micro-sim card will be shipped out to you within 2 business days.

Hope that helps. From what I was told by several reps, Solavei customers get the same 3g/4G coverage as regular Tmobile customers, but speeds begin to be throttled after 4 gigabytes of usage. 4 gigs is personally plenty for me and it's $20 cheaper than the comparable Tmobile plan.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darf:
Yea, I use Solavei on my Nexus 4. Works great. I signed up with my samsung galaxy and got regular SIM, but it's easy to make micro-sim from it.

BTW. SIM card and first month is free if you sign up by the end on November!
