tmobile or simple mobile

hello every one i just got my new g2x , i previously had htc evo . my question is , is there a big diffrence between simple mobile 4g or tmobiles 4g , i know it works with this phone but im asking because i looked online and didnt find anything , so im suck im in south florida , i have two choices simple mobile or tmobile , please help , thank you in advance

T-Mobile and Simple use the same towers - so you will find zero difference is coverage or internet speeds.
The real differences of course is a) price and b) bandwidth caps. Simple is quite a bit cheaper but your bandwidth datacap is only 1gig before they throttle you down to a whopping 60kps connection speed. T-Mobile you get 5gig although it's my understanding that they now are offering a 10gig plan if yer willing to up off the $...

Just try simple if u don't like it its pre paid just transfer ur number I went from sprint to simple evo to g2x (well alot of phones between) its a big price drop but u get what u pay for

Simple mobile has less coverage then a standard post paid T-Mobile customer does. Its basically the pre paid map.

that 1gig cap is a rumor and has been going on for a while and i dont understand why ppl still say it.. ive used at least 1500 mb a month for 8 months and have only been capped twice, both times at 2gbs
SO PLEASE EVERYONE STOP GIVING FALSE INFO IF U HAVE NO IDEA WHAT U ARE TALKING ABOUT
edit: for those who still doubt.. hard to believe i could get to 2gb if i was capped at 1gb..

Plus its on their own damn website too. They dont turn it off - they throttle it so of course you can have more than 1gig of usage.

so u think i would actually allow myself to reach another gb on capped speed??
what im saying is aside from everything u read on the internet, they throttle it at 2gb, not 1..
and its not on their website, only thing they say is we have the right to blah blah blah if we feel u are using and excessive amount of data blah blah blah..
edit: that first link is from june 2010 and the second is from jan 2011 with outdated info saying basically the same as the first one...
crazy how im sitting here telling u i use 1500mb regularly at 4g speed and the 2 times i have been throttled, is when i reach 2gb.. even showed a pic after being throttled 3 days ago.. smh

How much data are you using each month?

Go to att.com and pull up your past data useage and post it up!
Mine. I just started using my wireless whenever I'm at home. So it's less than it could be for the last month or two.

Past usage and for this month...

I download about 100 gigs a month on my home internet. Less than 2 gigs a month on my phone. I'll watch streaming videos on youtube, cnn, and such once in a while. If I want to watch something whole movies or tv shows on long trips, I'll just put it on the phone.

My highest was 1.8 GB last November when the skyrocket launched...probably all the speed tests I did! I feel like I am on the phone all the time, but there is wifi about everywhere I go...may sell the skyrocket for the GNote if the battery life is decent.

Right now I have sprint and get unlimited data. I'm switching to AT&T to get the skyrocket next month.
Once I switch I will only have 3gb of data.
Can anyone confirm rather or not there is a way to set the skyrocket to download updates to apps only while connected to wifi? Or maybe a way to set it to only download updates from like 2am to 6am? (while I'm at home sleep and connected to wifi)
Thanks!

Yes, there is. You can set that inside the settings/preferences within the Market app. That's the same across the board with the new Market App on all android devices. Presently, I have mine to only update when on wifi, so that saves on the data use because I'm still on the 2gig limit.

Man, I am WAY on the other end of the spectrum from you guys.
I use consistently less than 100 MB. It's really all the garbage and bloatware backgrounding data that will kill you. I turn data off when I'm not using it, and mostly use it for web/forum browsing and GPS nav when I'm away from WiFi, and a lot of times I'm as low as like 30MB for the month.

Man, you guys use so little data.
I mean, I use quite a bit, but usually not more then 6GB, and that's a lot for me on mobile data.
I still wonder how AT&T compresses data, because I watched a 2 hour live stream on LTE, and only used 200MB of data... insane.

Thank you for this...
I have always wondered how much data is being used when watching Netflix. Based on your post about 100MB per hour... So a 30 min show would be about 50mb.
Question: where are tou streaming from? Netflix? Crackle? Some others?

On average I hit anywhere from 15-28GB a month... Yeah I know...

I have a 6 gigs monthly limit..... used 4.6 gigs last month

I tend to use a lot of data. I stream from Pandora at least a couple hours every day. I could use wifi more at home, but LTE is still faster than my 15Mbps home connection. I wouldn't say I abuse it (I tether very little), but I do use every bit I can of my "unlimited" data.

Wow seriously 100gigs.. I guess my question is how to you guys feel about the amount of usage? Part of me says cmon its a digital world of course people will use more data, these days even young kids have cell and tablets.. But then I feel like damn how much do you really need? Abuse or is it advancement I'm just not sure how to feel... I use about a 1g a month but then again I use wifi at home school the coffee shop, mall wherever I can get a single just to save my data.. What's your opinions?

I think he said 100 gigs on his home internet. I am sure I use at least that much, probably more. We have a desktop, three laptops and 2 ipad plus two phones and 2 rokus. I have Verizon Fios Internet with a 50 down 20 up and we do a lot of streaming on our home connection!
On my phone however, I have not gone over 2 GB since wifi is everywhere. I will usually use wifi even if it is in a place where it is slower than LTE. I do not think I have ever streamed over LTE except when making video calls with my kids.

less than 200 MB

haha yah i did so many speedtests when i first got my skyrocket. That was the most i used in one month...1.7GB. There really arent many places i dont have wifi tho so it was surprising to me that i went that high

There is an app that you can set scripts based on time location. Depending what you script it to do depends on you though. For the life of me I cannot think of the app name( found in market). I have tried them before. Neat idea.
I also got throttled first month with skyrocket. Moving to new house...internet wasn't hooked up yet...so if course tether my phone to my PC and create a bridge to cat5 going to supply my Xbox. (No wireless adapter yet]. And downloading movies from demonoid. But not illegally I might add

Data usage!

Does anybody feel like this phone just rips through data? I set my 2GB data limit and it ripped it a new one in just 3 days of having the device. Anyone else having high data usage? I'm running stock just rooted if it matters.

depends how you're using your data. It's pretty hard to go through 2GB in 3 days unless you're streaming movies via Netflix or HD youtube videos over LTE.

I found that Play Music sent over 185 MB in background data in just 1 day! I disabled the option to download any song while not using Wi-Fi and it still used 185 MB, so I disabled all background data unless it is on Wi-Fi. My carrier plan only has 700 MB available per month. Apart from that, everything is normal.

I concur. Over 2 days play music ate 800mb of data, right at the beginning of my cycle too. If you have it, make sure all the boxes pertaining to caching are off.

Lazard, biggies culprit is Google Play Store, sent about 661MB. Then Android OS with 385. Dropbox with 276. Path also used 229 so I just uninstalled it. Google Play Music used 186 but hasn't changed and Memedroid. But yeah no Netflix streaming or anything, Google Play store sent about half of gig of background data.

I'm glad I have unlimited data. I'm always on wifi when available but I'm concestently getting close to 5 GB every month.

I'm on unlimited as well. At this rate though, AT&T will throttle me down in no time. /:

Your data usage is under 2gb they said... you will be fine with 2gb they said... WRONG! Using my old Galaxy Q my provider (Rogers) tried to tell me that I am using around 1.5gb a month maximum. What they didn't get through their head was that was on the lowest model phone and on internet data E! The slowest one..
I kept my 6gb when I signed a new contract and I think I used maybe 5.5GB this month. But that's with downloading all the new apps etc, lots of navigation usage, and songza etc. Probably pipe it down a notch when I use my wifi more often.

No problems at all here. I have used 3gb of my 4gb plan over the last bill cycle, but only because we had a tornado rip through here and I was without power for almost a week. I have wifi at home and listen to Pandora almost daily in the car.

I don't see how you guys are using that much network data.
This is my weeks mobile data usage. I guess I just use WiFi more than most.

My biggest consumer is tethering to my laptop at work. Aside from that i use WiFi as much as u can or when I remember to switch it on. Right now I'm close to 4 GB and my cycle is a 1.5 weeks from renewing. Half that use is hotspot, then slacker radio 800mb then android os at 180mb. Everything else is like 40mb or less...

I'm on my 3GB plan monthly. it's been about 10 days of purchase and I've gone through little less than a gig. only because I just got this phone and tried out LTE speed and download stuff more than usual. but my data usages seems not any different than my previous atrix 2 phone.

Up 9 GB so far this month..
Sent from my S4

On my S2 I would have to stop doing almost everything data-related on my phone for the last few days of the month. I have 6GB and I think I have used 1.5GB in 4 days with my new S4. I don't know how anybody manages on less than 6GB! I think LTE is part to blame, given that youtube videos may be fully loaded before you realize it's the wrong one.

Thw day i got my S4 i went through 2.9gb because my girlfriends wifi kept going out but now I'm fine no issues.(I was downloading rom's and such lol)

So its not just me? I used over 5 GB of data this month with this phone, I have limited data so my bill is going to suck. I dont know why.
Maybe too much youtube to enjoy the screen idk.

I have a 3gb data monthly cap on my current plan(which I need to change) but imagine if I didn't have Wi-Fi, I'd be paying a lot of overages on my days plan!

I dont know it either. I didnt do anything. It still shows I used a few hundred MB data. Did ATT calculate it incorrectly?

Total t mobile noob here.....

So i just switched to t mobile from verizon and there i was tethering something like 60gb a month with no repercussions. So when i moved i got the unlimited everything and i know that doesnt count for tethering. so i decided to see what would happen when i tried.

This is from about 4 hours of testing.
Question is, where do i see tethering usage? or have i gotten passed it with running a custom rom? Or are they going to nab me after a month or so?
Thanks guys!!!

thanks man. got it and it shows that i have been using the tethering. Just what i wanted to know :good:

I think I've heard of other carriers looking into it if they notice an unusual amount of data. At which point they would charge you for the data you used or terminate your contact. However T-Mobile doesn't have contracts anymore, so. . . Not sure.
I think they mess with that though. I have about 1GB used every month for hotspot. Even though I have never used it. Not even once. Called a rep and they were just like "Uh yeah that's uhhhhhhh really weird".

I have 500mb of tethering but I used about 2.5GB just tethering last month (about 3.5gb total) and haven't gotten billed anything extra.

I've never heard of anyone on TMO getting billed for tethering after the fact (the onus is still on them to stop it at their own limit), but they sure throw the upsell page in a hurry. Also, I wouldn't be too shocked if they begin killing accounts that deliberately abuse their terms of service. (That is to say, tether-cheat at your own risk, no whiners when you get busted).

Sorry, thats what I meant. I've never seen that screen that people are talking about. Probably because it's a Nexus and all the previous phones I've had all had international roms on them.
They definitely won't terminate accounts without notifying people. As long as people don't use like 100GB a month, I don't think they really care too much.

Well the good thing is that if they start to get worse, I can just leave and not have to pay anything. Tmobile isn't the cheapest carrier around, so if they become like ATT or verizon, it's as simple as paying the final bill and canceling the service.

thanks guys. gonna keep an eye on it and try some things

When it comes to tethering over the limit, who outdoes TMO? They're the best value (not necessarily cheapest) for speed, customer service, and policies...it may sound cliche, but they ARE shaking things up. More power to'em, I say.

Absolutely. They've been really good so far, I was just saying if they turn into one of those "other" carriers, there's really no reason to stay. Hopefully they keep doing things that other carriers were too scared to do. :good:

Damn they hit me with hotspot upsell page after using 46gb in a week and a half that sucks! Anybody have a solution around besides just adding a user agent switcher?

one is a dude holding a phone from Nov 12
the other is a pink key ring... updated yesterday...
i dunno, but i uninstalled the second one since it asks for all kinds of data regarding my phone, i dont want to give them data or facts regarding my device. even after i had the settings not collect it, it knew even the device was rooted.
im keeping the older one, it doesnt collect stuff.. even tho it doesnt show the 100mb tethering i have now

Whoa. Good job.

Tutorial- how to tether ps4 unrestricted

Would anyone be interested in having this? If there's support I'll write it up, but if not don't wanna waste my time...chime in if you think this would be a good tutorial.
Edit- i want to be sure to give credit on this to the original tmo upsell page that i can't seem to find now to link at the moment smh that's what made me investigate after reading reports in that thread that it no longer worked, but seems it does, the major difference- i think- being to specify another user agent, don't just strip it null, and I'm working on tweaking the setup because fiddler4 isn't handling the certificate requests quite right, which causes you to have to babysit it in the case of large downloads where the same http tunnel has to be opened for an extended period of time, so once i have the links out I'll post the planned "tutorial", and i think in the meantime i might just document my process on getting the glitches out of fiddler4- errr should i say, adjusting it's handling of such- for the sake of someone else who may be in my position and want to use a wireless connection for their ps4. In the UK tmo had signed agreements with Sony to make data available to people who purchase the system because Sony knows how important it is to have data access. No one wants to shell out 500+ bucks on a system and then find out that system could eat as much as 300gb of data in a month. Even how cable service in some places have caps in place and throttling- like if you're unfortunate enough to have hughesnet smh not that 1st person stuff is gonna run with 1500-2000ms ping time averages, but there are still games that aren't as ping intensive that'll work fine, and the large file downloads are much better than years ago, onboard routing on the birds has made lots of difference. It's still inherently ping challenged, but other than that it's really pretty good- but the usage caps are miserable, along with others who have dsl or other smaller regional providers, it can get excessive- buy 3 or 4 60 buck games in one month and see if updates alone don't cost ya 50gb+! So the idea, yes, is to swap out all the http headers on the fly so that not just browsers from a pc are able to spoof the packet header, but ALL traffic, irregardless of its' source- so even your ps4 or Xbox one- as long as you have a pc (I'm sure a mac could probably be used, but I'm using a win10 pc, so that's what I'm writing on) to put between the console/tv/pc/bluray player/you get it and your wireless device you can replace the header of every packet that passes thru and make tmo's systems see the connection as an android chrome device instead of, say, a PS4
More to come.........

Alrighty, well give me a bit to type it up with all the links etc...it requires you to connect your device to your pc via USB and enable the tether, then connect your ps4 directly to your pc with a crossover cable, bridge those two connections, run Fiddler4 on the pc with a few settings enabled that strip the user agent string from every http header and replace it. It's basically an update to the thread that already exists that explains how to do it using the old fiddler 2...but i guess people no longer were able to make it work for whatever reason, but i got the new fiddler 4 running great! I'm currently in excess of my 7gb of hotspot data by about 80gb and i hadn't been able to get the ps4 to download the black ops 3 update for like a week- Netflix would work on the ps4, but downloads from the notification page would get throttled and there wasn't any good way to get around it without getting rid of that user agent string. Vpn is too slow and/or expensive, so I'm thrilled i found this workaround still works with some updated software! i haven't been able to play black ops 3 multiplayer for over a week because i needed this 9gb update and couldn't download it! Smh lol but all is well! Fiddler handles it like a champ! Not the most convenient thing to have to connect everything with wires and put a laptop between the ps4 and the device, but it sure does work!

What kind of plan do you have with T-Mobile? I have only 1GB of data plan at the moment but if I tether anything over 1GB of data then I'll be throttled down to a very slow speed.

Yeah, it doesn't really help you unless you have unlimited device data and only measured hotspot data....

Well I've got to tell ya, it's been REALLY hit or miss, fiddler 4 WILL remove or replace your useragent string in the ip header but that's only getting you past the automated checking, but post analysis may still get you dinged depending on what exactly you're doing....
