To the OP: You may want to update the T-mobile prepaid link to http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/, which has the updates prepaid plans, although the current Monthly 4G link redirects to this page. Also, it may be worth mentioning that all of T-mobile's plans sold by T-mobile stores and tmobile.com are now no-contract (but possibly not prepaid), as listed here: http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/plans/individual-plans.aspx

FYI for $30 Prepaid Tmo Users

5GB data allowance reached for the month, but need more 4G data before monthly reset?

A little trick I discovered with this plan that I thought I'd share:

If you add the $15 hotspot add-on it seems to reset the data usage counter for the remainder of your month

So if you use up your 5GB mid-month then add the hotspot feature, it looks like you get another 5GB for the rest of the month. Then if you remove the hotspot feature immediately after adding it, while you don't get the $15 back, it keeps the hotspot feature and additional data until the end of your month at which point it resets back to the regular $30 / month plan

So if this trick works, you get a 100 minutes / 10GB per month with official hotspot for the second half of the month for $45 / month

YMMV!

DO let me know because I'm not happy with H2O

[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Mischief:
I just went over the 500MB mark, and data is still full speed.
[Nexus 4 General] username8611:
For anyone wondering about net10 and go phone. Gophone data was always usable, though a tad slow sometimes, most of the time it was pretty dang fast (loading web pages, not speed tests). Net 10 is atrocious. It will be fast about 5% of the time, extremely slow about 40% of the time and completely unusable about 55% of the time (can't even load weather or refresh emails). I know they do the prioritizing thing with post paid customers on att, but it definitely seems like net10 is the bottom of the barrel. I'm not happy at all and will be going back to go phone and probably staying. (No T-Mobile here).
[Nexus 4 General] EDV11:
My brother in law is preparing a trip to the US, so I've been thinking on hooking him up with a prepaid card so he can have internet access in his phone.

He has an international Galaxy S3 (i9300). After several hours researching, I came up to the conclusion that the best deal is to get a T-Mobile prepaid Sim Card for one month, $30 for data (he will not make calls in the US) and I guess you have to add the cost of the card ($10 if I saw it correctly).

So, will his i9300 correctly work with T-Mobile network? I have been reading about the refarming on 1900mhz networks, but I don't know how is it nowadays. He will be in California and Nevada.

Can he go to a T-Mobile store once he arrives and get the card? Or is it needed to prepare everything before?

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 PM ----------

By the way, is it possible to use VOIP?
[Nexus 4 General] noneone:
1) Yes, can use VOIP on the Tmo $30 plan. Lots of options, skype, tapatalk, grooveip are ones I've used, lots of folks use sipdroid .... there's a big thread over in the galaxy nexus on this plan, you can check there maybe.

2) Can he go to a Tmo store ... um ... maybe not. :( The plan says "you can only sign up online or at walmart" since its a walmart only plan, but, you can't really sign up for plans at walmart :) SO YOU NEED TO SIGN UP ONLINE (probably, some tmo stores may do this for you, but, some wont). But where to get a sim?

3) Some tmo stores, and walmart, DO NOT SELL JUST A SIM KIT. Most people on this plan order a sim kit from Tmo online for 99 cents. I have gone to walmart and purchased a $30 non smartphone, and that sim worked in an android phone I had just fine. ALSO, most BEST BUY stores have $10 activiation kits.

4) What I have done most often is (a) go to best buy and get a Tmo sim activation kit (b) go online and sign up for the $30 plan. That's worked 4 times for me in the last 18 months.

5) In case you didn't know, bestbuy is a large retailer of electronics all over the usa, you can check for store locations at bestbuy.com

GOOD LUCK!
[Nexus 4 General] EDV11:
Thanks! You made everything very clear.

So could I just order one card from eBay (I've seen them) and activate it online before they leave?

Also, did tmo finished with the refarming of the 1900 band?

Enviado desde mi Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] noneone:
Yes, ebay activation kit should work.

I have the S2 tmobile. I get fast HPSA+ internet in most cities on the S2, actually usually faster than my verizon galaxy nexus LTE. I was in Las Vegas a couple months ago, and had fast service on tmo and the S2..

I don't think Tmo has refarmed the 1900 band in most places, but, I get very fast Tmo service, 15 mbs down right now in New Jersey, and I don't think there has been refarming of 1900 band done in NJ,
[Nexus 4 General] dan in la:
I agree, buy the SIM card from eBay if possible and activate it before he goes, just so he doesn't have to worry about getting a SIM card right when he lands.

T-Mobile's refarm is not complete, but it's in a lot of major cities. You can see a map of where people have reported getting high-speed data on the 1900 band here: http://www.airportal.de/

Note that that data is self-reported, so an area may actually have coverage even if it's not on the map yet. But I would expect the refarmed area to be limited mostly to major cities.

So if your friend is going to be using data mostly in Vegas, SF, and LA, T-Mobile may be a good option. If he wants to drive along the California coast, he's probably going to be limited to 2G data. The only way to improve that is by buying a SIM that uses the AT&T network. Unfortunately, that will cost much more and be limited to at most 2GB of data.
[Nexus 4 General] Bush715:
I would also like to point out iWireless. They are a cell phone company based out of Iowa and partially owned by T-Mobile. They just launched some new pre-paid plans. 45 gets you unlimited talk, text, and 3gb HSPA+/4G, 55 gets you unlimited talk, text, and HSPA+/4G and 70 gets you unlimited talk, text, and HSPA+/4G and tethering capabilities.
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Mischief:
I would just buy the activation kit from T-Mobile for $10.
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
Looks like simple mobile changed their plans, and actually have clearly defined data limits now. $60 for 4gb of HSDPA+, $50 for 2.5gb, and $40 for 500mb. Considering that callingmart always gives you 5-7% off simple refills + no tax, its an even better deal:thumbup:

[Nexus 4 General] mmmajor:
Also add Walmart family mobile. IT is unlimited everything and only $40 a month on t-mobile's network. And the SIM card cost $21.00. I get great speeds.
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
How much data do you get?
[Nexus 4 General] mmmajor:
1gb..after that it throttles..
[Nexus 4 General] Lttlwing16:
Thanks .. I'll try to update the OP tomorrow.. That new Simple Mobile plan looks awfully good.
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
It does, but just to clarify one thing (and I actually had to call their customer service to find this out for sure), simple mobile does not roam, even for voice & text. So basically if you're out of a tmo area your screwed. Otherwise I'd totally jump ship from Solavei and their almost $5 in tax per month.
[Nexus 4 General] Phrankeeh:
I had a chat with AT&T rep and they said the Go Phone prepaid only offers 4G speeds.
[Nexus 4 General] admiez:
OP needs to be updated as LTE speeds are also available with T-Mobile prepaid plans, even the $30 plan. Not to mention that their HSPA+ speeds are usually much higher than those of AT&T (20Mbps where I am). With LTE still getting same down speeds but half the latency and 4x upload speeds.
[Nexus 4 General] Lttlwing16:
Interesting, that goes against the press from June.

http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/14/att-gophone-lte/
[Nexus 4 General] Phrankeeh:
It says on this website:

Limited 4G LTE availability in select markets. LTE is trademark of ETSI. 4G speeds not available everywhere.

I have the Nexus 4 with Red Pocket's 2GB Max plan($59.99) and I don't see why I shouldn't switch to AT&T's Go Phone prepaid plan.

Does AT&T's Go Phone prepaid plan charge tax and/or any extra fees?
[Nexus 4 General] kzoodroid:
If you use the self serve kiosk inside an AT&T store there is no tax. If you pay any other way, online or at a counter with a rep, you will have to pay taxes. Also most note that the original GoPhone plans with HSPA+ only are limited to 50 MB of data, you have to get one of the newer "4G LTE" plans to get more data. Right now I pay $25 for my phone plan and $5 for 50 MB of data which is about all I use for a grand total $30, no taxes or surcharges as I use the kiosk.

The new GoPhone plans are marketed as LTE as of June 21. However LTE on AT&T is a mute point anyways as the Nexus 4 in most instances can't connect to AT&T's LTE network as they have only used band 4 AWS (the only LTE band the Nexus can connect to) in a couple markets. I have AT&T LTE available where I live but its not band 4, I get their 4G HSPA+ network which is fine for me.
[Nexus 4 General] Telemachus13:
CallingMart also has Go Phone refills available. They don't charge tax and often post coupons on their Facebook page.

I haven't seen any mention of AIO. Everything I have read says it's actually owned by AT&T and runs on their network. They have different plans that throttle down after a set data allotment like many other pre-paid plans. They also throttle HSPA+ to 4 Mb/s and LTE to 8 Mb/s at all times.

Aio Basic

Plan Details

Unlimited Data (includes high speed access for the first 250MB of data)

Unlimited Talk (includes voicemail, call waiting, call forwarding, and 3-way calling)

Unlimited Messaging (includes text, picture, and video messages)

Maximum data download speeds reduced when usage exceeds high speed allotment

Your plan price includes applicable state and local taxes, and fees

Included plan features for domestic use only

Available only with basic/feature phones

$ 40.00 month

Aio Smart

Plan Details

Unlimited Data (includes high speed access for the first 2GB of data)

Aio Pro

Plan Details

Unlimited Data (includes high speed access for the first 7GB of data)

Unlimited Talk (includes voicemail, call waiting, call forwarding, and 3-way calling)

Unlimited Messaging (includes text, picture, and video messages)

Maximum data download speeds reduced when usage exceeds high speed allotment

Your plan price includes applicable state and local taxes, and fees

Included plan features for domestic use only

Available only with smartphones

$ 70.00 month

It says the 250 MB plan is only available for non-smartphones, but I have read about people using smartphones with that plan. I also read that any AT&T branded device can be used on this network without unlocking.

From their data speed support page:

Though data speeds vary due to several factors, including those beyond Aio's control, our 4G LTE service currently offers download speeds up to 8 Mbps and our 4G HSPA+ service currently offers download speeds up to a maximum of 4 Mbps. On our 3G HSPA/UMTS service, typical download speeds range from approximately 700 Kbps up to 1.7 Mbps. Aio does not offer mobile broadband Internet access service in different speed tiers and your data speeds depend on the available serving technology as well as the capabilities of your device.

[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
Last time I checked a few days ago, it was still only available in a few cities. I can't wait till they go nationwide, I'm definatley planning on trying them out.

EDIT: just checked the website again, still only available in TX / FL :(
[Nexus 4 General] Lttlwing16:
Lol, I was just browsing their page an hour ago. Looks promising... I'll try to add them in a day it two.
[Nexus 4 General] juggamonkey:
id be willing to pay a small premium if someone from could order a Aio sim for me and ship it to south carolina any takers? pay through paypal of course
[Nexus 4 General] gmurphy0487:
There was a guy in Alaska using Aio. He had to have someone buy a sim and ship it to him, but it worked for him. Once they have nationwide availability for getting sims , I believe they will be a solid choice.

Another thing to note, to have your number ported, you must go to a retail location. The lack of nationwide availability will make that difficult for most of the population. Hopefully this changes as they grow.
[Nexus 4 General] Telemachus13:
Thanks for the heads up.

Here's a link for those interested:

https://www.iwireless.com/plans-pay-in-advance-megatalk.asp

They also offer unlimited talk/text/data for $95 every two months ($47.50 per month plus tax). I didn't see anywhere to buy a SIM on their website, but buying one of the cheap phones, taking the SIM out, and selling the phone should work.

The ToS says they can throttle after 10 GB if they want to. I don't know if they actually do though.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 4 General] kzoodroid:
Maybe it should be added under AT&T GoPhone that there are still cheaper plans than $60/month. There's the $25 a month calling plan and you can add 50 MB of data for $5 a month. This is the only amount of data available for this plan but for those like me who use very little data at $30 per month it's the cheapest way to go and still get AT&T HSPA+ speeds. They also offer a $40 a month LTE plan with 200 MB of data and the ability to add more in 100 MB increments at $5 a pop.

http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/plans/prepaidplans.html
[Nexus 4 General] Johmama:
As kind of a response to the previous comments about AIO, I would really like to switch to them, but their site refuses to even let me look at plans without a valid zip code. They say they're nationwide, and their coverage map also covers my area, but when I try to look at plans it basically blocks me with my zip code. Sure wish they'd make up their mind. Are you nationwide or not, AIO??

Until they decide that they want to take my money, I guess I'm going back to AT&T's GoPhone plans...
[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
It has been stated many times that it is nationwide service but it is only being offered in a few cities so far. They plan to roll it out to more cities over time but if/when they do a full national scale rollout is anyone's guess.
[Nexus 4 General] Lttlwing16:
Thanks for the input. We are on straight talk but the mobile data can be pretty finicky...

You can confirm HSPA speeds on the 50$ H20 plan?
[Nexus 4 General] pjc123:
I am in the same exact situation, so that is why I stay with the horrors of straight talk. I need good phone coverage, use WiFi at home, and want a reasonably priced service. In the 6 months I have been with ST, I have never been throttled.

My only issue is with data speed, as I never get above 1 Mbps no matter where I drive, so H20 really intrigues me in that it also uses AT&T and I am going to have to take a seriously look at it. Straight Talk refuses to help me with this issue. I also have a Nexus 4, and although my phone reports H and H+ indicators, the only time I can get those speeds is when I am on wifi. Never heard of H2O until today. The $50 plan would be enough for me. Anyone else using them?
[Nexus 4 General] grayson73:
Airvoice Wireless' 1GB plan for $40 seems like a good deal for AT&T if you don't need unlimited data:

[Nexus 4 General] stomicron:
NET10 and Straight Talk just added AT&T LTE.

http://www.prepaidphonenews.com/2013/09/lte-now-available-with-straight-talk-at.html
[Nexus 4 General] pjc123:
That is very interesting. I know that the Nexus 4 doesn't have LTE with the latest radio, but I had done a speedtest this morning just out of the blue and I was getting 7 Mbps download with AT&T Straight Talk, and I have never seen it that high before (I was getting 1 Mbps tops with 4.2.2 and 3 Mbps tops with the 4.3 upgrade). Just a coincidence? Can I look into one of those hybrid radios today, or do they really mostly work with T-Mobile because of the band 4 thing and it would be a waste of time?.
[Nexus 4 General] stomicron:
It would have to be a coincidence if you're on one of the newer radios that disabled LTE.

Unfortunately the Nexus 4 only supports LTE on band 4 and from what I'm reading AT&T only runs LTE on band 4 in a few markets. T-mobile, on the other hand, runs LTE exclusively on band 4.
[Nexus 4 General] notserpmh:
Might want to add MetroPCS

I just got a Nexus 4 for my service on MetroPCS (using T-Mobile network). Here are some things I found:

You need their sim card kit ($10). You can order it online with free shipping and activate it yourself with no extra charge, or go into a company owned MetroPCS and pay $10 for the kit and $15 to have them activate it. The stores will not sell you the sim card kit to do yourself no matter what web chat or the 800# CS says. They require you to activate it in the store.

I'm currently on the $40 a month plan (they have family plan rates for multiple devices, currently offering 4 phones for $100 per month) and I get unlimited talk, text, and data. The first 500 MB is at HSPA+ speeds (I am getting about 10 MB/s down, 2 MB/s up in the D/FW area, YMMV), then it is 3G speeds (haven't hit that yet, but with my old phone, typically the 3G speeds were around 1 - 1.5 MB/s max down (usually enough to stream Pandora or surf the web, but not stream Netflix well).

You can also get 2.5 GB of "4G" for $50 a month, or unlimited "4G" for $60 a month. The prices are tax inclusive, so what you see is what you pay.

Right now, new activations also get a $50 mail in rebate for bringing a phone and $50 mail in rebate if you port a number over. I was already a customer when I activated my Nexus, so I'm not eligible for either.

Hello~ All Experts.

Recently I have changed my phone from LG Spectrum Verizon to Nexus 4 Straight Talk.

Been loving the phone and am glad that I got off Verizon..(finally)

Well I was enjoying my phone as usual but I encountered a problem.

I was playing the game Zenonia 5 on my LG Spectrum (VS920) and well wanted to play it on my Nexus 4 before I sold it.

So I used several method to backup the files...but all method has failed...

1. Used titanium backup to backup game data + game. restored it in Nexus 4. -> Game will not start at all. Just blank black screen when started.

2. backed up the files in data/data/com.gamevil.... and copied this into the same folders in Nexus 4...Did not work..same output.

3. Using Titanium, I tried using the "data only backup" and restored it..still the same result..

I have been playing long hours on Zenonia 5 ..and well the same thing happened when I was playing Zenonia4 so..I just stopped playing.

But this time I really would like to see the ending...lol.

Can anybody help me?

Thank you in advance for your help.

I invested $10 in this game and..I am level 70.. I really do not want to lose it! :crying:

THanks!!!
