T-Mobile $70 Unlimited plan.
[Nexus 5 General] lwfb:
I've been on T-Mobile since switching from AT&T in April and I haven't looked back. I'm on a Nexus 4 now, but will be moving my sim to my 5 as soon as it's here.

I have two lines on the uncarrier simple choice plan. Unlimited talk, text, data (no throttle), 2.5 GB of hotspot, international roaming for text and data, plus an international package on my line that allows me to text to international mobiles at no extra charge, call international landlines at no extra charge, and 30¢ a minute calls to international mobiles.

All that only cost me $150 a month total after taxes, so essentially it's $70 for my girl's line and $80 for mine. It's a better deal than any of the other big carriers have and I get service wherever I go in the world.
[Nexus 5 General] Sevinex:
I realize that, as it was supposed to be the backbone of the joke.

Does Straight Talk tmobile compatible have LTE?. I have heard that only AT&T compatible sims have LTE. If no LTE on ST Tmobile I will switch to the $30 TMobile plan.
[Nexus 5 General] honeybunchie:
Canada. Wind Mobile.

$30 Unlimited Everything per month.

No LTE. 3G speeds: 2-5 mbps download, 600 kbps upload (?)

Terrible Coverage, only good in the city.

Throttled at 5gb, but doubt I'll use that much

Why are the USA/Canada prices so high, and so limited???

as for me - at the moment £15per month sim only, 200 minutes, 2,000 SMS text, free incoming texts, 2GB data including tethering

and from the end of this month..

£15 per month, 2,000 minutes, 2,000 texts, unlimited all you can eat data with no restrictions/slowdowns regardless of how much you use, with all you can eat tethering included, and a free upgrade to 4GLTE with no changes in terms or price in December, contract term 12 months, The one plan (sim only) 3 UK, equivalent US$24

[Nexus 5 General] The Gingerbread Man:
Got your self a good deal there then! I tend to use more data also, I wasn't able to see anything about 3 selling the n5 when ingot mine on their site. I just went with cheapest per month I could find. Its funny cos as time goes on my phones get better and cheaper. My xperia x10 £35 per month, galaxy nexus £31, n5 £27 :)

TMo
[Nexus 5 General] crzycrkr:
What's the exchange rate? Isn't that the equivalent to $35-45?
[Nexus 5 General] RockHead:
TMO unlimited everything family plan, no contact, no hardware subsidy or charges. $133/mo for two lines including all taxes and fees. I'm tempted to switch my daughter to the $30 prepaid, since she doesn't use many voice minutes. She does suck up data though, as she never bothers with Wi-Fi.

Just got my N5 this afternoon, swapped my SIM over from my N4. 28 Mbps down on two bars of LTE. I'm pretty happy with that, as I was getting 11-15 on HSPA+ with the N4. I get 25-35 usually on my Comcast cable internet, though the N5 just pulled 50 down through my N router.
[Nexus 5 General] 2Pints:
GB£1 = US$1.61. So £15 = $24.15 including all taxes etc etc
[Nexus 5 General] atom_jack:
My N5 comes tomorrow and I am planning on breaking my contract with Sprint and trying net10 (which is an MVNO using AT&T). At $45/month that will easily beat the $90/month I'm paying sprint now, since my contract doesn't end until July, it'll cost around $100 to break the contract. I got a pair of net10 Sims off Amazon for 99 cents each (figured might as well have a spare) and plan to cut the micro sim to nano.

Anyone else planning anything like this?
[Nexus 5 General] WoodyHD:
Has anyone tired using at&t tablet dataconnect plan? I already use google voice and groove ip for my calls and texts. Being that t-mobile coverage is lackluster in my area, going on that 3gb plan for $30 would work out pretty well for me. I assume I would just have to find a tablet imei to activate the sim?
[Nexus 5 General] Ozarkasince1905:
on att for now... but i got this phone to move to an mvno whenever i get out of this contract like 6 months from now.
[Nexus 5 General] SplitCold:
I'm using Straight Talk with AT&T, $49.50 taxes included, unlimited talk/text & 2.5GB of data.
[Nexus 5 General] lqaddict:
Porting your number to your T-Mo PAYG account is pretty easy, and can be done anytime as long ad your prepaid account is current.

I am on this plan now, additional minutes are $0.10 a minute so if I go over by 100 it will become a $40 plan, still beats whatever competition is offering.
[Nexus 5 General] cmo220:
I'm borrowing a friends N4 and testing these pre paid plans. T Mobile doesn't work for me since I work in a basement office and have absolutely no phone signal. My Straight Talk SIM will be here tomorrow to test that. As long as that works I'm paying $110 to leave Verizon.
[Nexus 5 General] itsalexaye90:

[Nexus 5 General] ogboot:
Got a T-Mobile Sim but service at home wasn't great so went ST on AT&T instead. No contract so T-Mobile will be "plan b" if ST doesn't work out :)
[Nexus 5 General] atom_jack:
Happy to report that activation via net10 went very smoothly. Luckily I bought an extra sim because after I cut one down to be nano, I finally took the sim tray out and noticed it actually uses micro and not nano!

Entered the APN settings via their instructions and LTE came up although I haven't really tested it out that much yet.
[Nexus 5 General] JCLedge:
I'm having the worst time with GoPhone. I had been using an HSPA ATT sim on Straight Talk for the past year with my Note 2. I got the Nexus 5 and used that same sim for a couple days and it worked great, but obviously I wanted LTE. I had been planning on switching to GoPhone because I had heard about people getting their data cut off with Straight Talk, and figured I'd pay the extra $15/month to not have to worry about that. Now if I make a phone call, I lose all data until I restart the phone. Nobody at ATT can seem to help, so I had a new Straight Talk sim overnighted to me and I'll be porting my number back.

On a trial "LTE / HSPA+ "run with T-Mo prepaid now with N5, getting ready to port 2 Big Red (VZW) family share lines over before Thanksgiving.

Try to decide if I'm going to split the 2 lines up, 1 for prepaid as she doesn't do lots of minutes and can setup the $30 special while I go for the postpaid as I use more voice minutes and we also need a working US number when we travel oversea on top of our foreign-based prepaid number that we roam in other countries with.

Had Gophone services with AT&T for several years but discontinued ... If T-Mo doesn't work out for us in coverage at home/office - then, we will port over to AT&T or its MNVO.
[Nexus 5 General] devaughnaw:
I'm with Tmobile but the signal is horrible at home (where I spend most of my time). Thank God it's prepaid.

I live in a rural area in Alabama so I'm trying to figure out the best carrier for my area.

I'm gonna try Page Plus but the worker there said he would need to find a software to flash my Nexus 5 first.

Trying T mobile in NJ

I picked up one of the T mobile Sims when they had a free on line special in anticipation of the Nexus 5 coming out soon.

Was easy to set up & activate my Nexus 5 with it - took about 5 minutes on line

Using it to test coverage in areas where I work and live on the $50 month unlimited voice,text, 500MB high speed data.

So far loving LTE :fingers-crossed: - getting good reception here in NJ near Morristown about 30 minutes outside NY.

My main phone is on Ting ( sprint MVNO) runs me about $30 a month - works fine but data speed is about 1/5th LTE ( no sprint 4G/LTE here for me)

T mobile is supposed to slow after I hit 500MB - pushing data to get there in the next few days to see if that is something I can live with toward the end of a month for a few days ( typically use about 500 MB mobile data)

If T mobile reception is good and throttled data is not too painful family plan will be a better deal than Ting ( 5 persons - 2 of which text 4-6,000 a month and 1 that talks 1000 min a month)

Will drop back in with update on my results in a few days.:cool:

Been with sprint for around 17 years now. This is replacing my evo lte.
[Nexus 5 General] tcat007:
I got the T-Mobile free sim, but ended up going with PTEL paygo plan at 5 cents/minute. Been on it a week, so far so good (T-mobile 3G/4G). Ends up 2000 min./$100 per year if you only use voice. I don't plan on using it's data if I can help it. I have wifi everywhere. Paying $17.50 per month on T-Mobile hotspot (for 1.75gB), but will likely drop it when my 60 day card expires. The PTEL 10 cents per mB is probably less than the $17.50 I pay to T-Mobile (since I don't think I use 150mB per month)... I plan on watching what I use for the next month to see what I use.

I found that setting the mobile on 2G actually gets me more bars, adequate for calls.
[Nexus 5 General] ximaginex:
I am going to have to decide between Sprint and T-Mobile. I'm planning on comparing the LTE speeds and reception to see who is better and then I'll stick with that carrier.

Using it with T-Mobile's $30 prepaid plan. I never talk on the phone, so the meager minutes doesn't effect me. I switched over from Verizon and was a little surprised to find that T-mo's service in my city is just as good, if not better. Saving $45/mo and loving the new phone.

Just moved from Straight Talk AT&T to Gophone on Sunday. Funny thing, I took a speedtest before going in to AT&T and I had LTE. Going out, I didn't have LTE, in fact, speedtest showed 3G speeds. The guy said LTE was in and out in that area. He was right, the the LTE speeds are still underwhelming in Port St. Lucie West, FL. I don't have LTE at home (rual Okeechobee, FL) but always on wifi. So far, I see no difference--except gophone costs more. Gonna stay for a few months, I think.

EDIT: riding to Orlando, FL, noticed LTE while in the boonies so did test. Freakin 55dl/20.61ul 78s ping).

Thanks! Actually when I was setting up my Sim Card, it asked for me to load $30.00 even tho I had already purchased the $30.00 kit from Walmart. I didn't want anything to go wrong with the port, so I loaded $30.00 again. Now I have a spare $30 on my account. Which is a nice safety net. I just hope a VoIP solution comes out soon. I've tried grooveIP and others like it, doesn't seem to work as well as I'd like. But over all still no regrets.
[Nexus 5 General] hshshawn:
Why is that does I assume due to CDMA? Also how can you tell which roms are suited for Sprint N5s mine has not arrived yet so haven't really dove into the development forum yet.
[Nexus 5 General] fr4c:
AT&T. LTE coverage is very good for me in the area so don't feel too bad about leaving Verizon earlier this year.

I would consider T-Mobile, but unfortunately they cap data roaming and since I travel a lot I can't risk not having data when travelling.
[Nexus 5 General] dan1431:
at&t here, been with them for years and see no need to change.

Grandfathered Unlimited DATA plan along with a discount from my employer, brings it within a few bucks of what I would pay T-Mobile which would be my other choice.

BTW, first time that at&t recognized a Nexus device and was able to properly provision my account.

Using Straight talk at&t. Nice having LTE and the speeds are roughly the same as go phone was. Only difference is slightly higher ping times but nothing outrageous and for $45 it more than gets the job done.

Going to switch my wife's line to a MVNO on Docomo's network, 1500 yen/mo for uncapped 2G-speed-throttled data, basic voice service and unthrottled data on prepaid 1200 yen/500MB with 90 day expiry that can be toggled on/off. She hardly ever is out of Wifi range so works out much cheaper for her as she can make one 500MB chunk last most/all of the 90 days. (HSPDA Band I/VI, LTE Band 1/19)

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] blablubb:
Hello,

I read a lot about the big ROM flashing and did this on my XDA mini. Anything seems to work so I'm quite happy until now. One point of concern is still there... what about the apps from the ExtROM that I copied for backup on my harddisk? Using an XDA on the O2 network, we are talking about apps like Homezone and O2 settings.

If I understood the BigROM thing right, I deleted the ExtROM that was executed on a hard reset before. Therefore, after BigROM,

- no O2 app will be loaded after hard reset

- no autostarter, like in the O2 ExtROM, is necessary any more since nothing is loaded after hard reset

- after hard reset, all apps have to be installed once again

- best way to keep the apps secure and appropriate is install all apps once and frequently backup the whole setup

Is this the right way to look at the changes?

Another question about the O2 files: Besides the homezone control, are there alternative programs for the rest (Java, Today screen) or do I need the special O2 apps due to the settings coming with them?

Any help appreciated!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] kta:
Yes you got it all right! After the Big Storage ROM the Extended ROM bit was deleted from the ROM. The space consumed by the Extended ROM is now available for you to use under the /Storarge folder.

Now, to install the required extended ROM programs just copy them to any folder on the PPC and click on them from the file explorer.

However I would suggest to install a program called CABINSTL. This allows you to run CAB files and install them in the folder of your choice instead of the default folder that consumes some of your precious RAM. I would install these CAB files in the /Storage folder, thus making benefit of the Big Storage ROM :-)

The same applies to any other program you install. Always install it in /Storage. If you don't, after the Big Storage upgrade the only benefit would be of having some extra storage space. If you have an SD Card you don't need this space so might as well use it to install programs and free up the RAM.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] shrubbery:
If I use the cabinstl programme to manually install my Orange ExtRom files after a BigStorage install - even when I choose a different install location (eg. /Storage) the utility is still installed into the default location (usually somewhere in /Windows/).
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Yzord:
I have the same problem. Also i pushed the option not to delete the cab file, but after install they are deleted :( I know i can make them read only, but i cannot do this trough explore of activesync.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] shrubbery:
It appears that some CAB files have their install location 'hard coded' into the file so it cannot or should not be changed.

I guess that this is to ensure that the utility works correctly so I don't suppose that there is much that we can do.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] kta:
You can edit the CAB on your PC and define your own folder. However this is not recommended as the code for these programs may have some paths that are hard coded as well.

Anyway these couple of CAB files will not impact your overall RAM situation at all. On mine I only installed JAVA, MMS, Bluetooth and Camera patches from the Extended ROM. I don't need the rest.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] blablubb:
Thanks for your help! So is it okay to install anything in the storage that goes there without complaining? As I installed PocketPlus there, Windows looked at it like on the memory card and displayed a message that installing apps there could become a problem during startup.

Thanks again and bye!
