At&t has good coverage, in exchange for your wallet and first born.

Att is not that bad if you have a friend/buddy right you up on a corporate discount. I'm saving 20% by "working" for Coke.

Ahh, too true. I've known some buddies employed with them. Amazing discounts. And they do let you have android devices now, instead of just the iPhone.
Side note, did you see the new south park episode with the ihumancentipede? ewwwww

off topic but yes that south park episode was awesome

Well see I'm not quite 18 so I can't get a phone In my name yet and I've been in four contracts and was the only one who payed the bill. So for another 5 months I'm stuck trying to find a good prepaid deal. And it would be nice to have decent working internet. I'm wanting to go back to at&t but I think there prices are fixing to go up once they buy out t mobile

I second this, great price every month, tho verizon with my company discount is honestly about the same, but the 3G/4G was terrible, and everyone trying to sell me that in home cell module thing, that only helps phone calls, because it would fix my "4G" and therefor I shouldn't leave them. Left them same day for a Thunderbolt with verizon, and in there survey asking why I left, I explained that every employee I talked to was a moron.
Did I also mention I had a Sprint "Manager" start cursing me out because I called him an idiot for telling me the only way I can get 4G is to have my phone off for about 12 hours straight every day?
seriously the worst provider ever. AT&T was better than Sprint, and I told them that

Did you use your SIM card from your Atrix? I'm thinking about doing it since I have an iPhone 2g laying around, but I'm not sure if it'll work with my SIM card that already has a data plan.
But I'm still waiting to see if I even use all of the data I can. There is no point in spending an extra $5/month on something I don't need.
I was grandfathered in from an iPhone plan. Yay me
the iphone 2g is the only phone that will force att to give you unlimited internet. but back in January att said they will allow all prior att iphone customers to get unlimited back on there contract (provided it is the same number/contract) had they removed the feature at any time.
so I'm pretty glad I had an iphone. even if I had to deal with all the bs like no mms, no tethering unless it was jail broken, no video, crappy camera that didn't work indoors or if it was cloudy without a tripod. wow that phone sucked for the first couple years. but I'm glad I had it.
This is interesting.
Now to try and get my hands on an iPhone.

Might I suggest that you instead send him your SIM? Much less chance of something bad happening to an expensive (and still somewhat useful) bit of technology that way

Yup, $3 billion in cash.
AT&T also has to set roaming agreements with Tmo if it falls through. While not 3/4g, it will give better 2g rural coverage.

Well seems like you know a bit. Let me ask this:
When I put my hometown zip in at cricket, it only displays a few phones. Zte score being one of them which runs off sprint and there is sprint coverage in my hometown.
When I put the zipcode in for where I live now, there are more choices. Like the huawei mercury. Would that mean that maybe the mercury runs off Verizon?

Sprint and Verizon use the same bands. There's a roaming agreement between them to cover gaps. 4G networks between them are different, however. I'm only saying that the two companies use Verizon's network to run on.

Verizon is not the same phone and you need to sign up for two years. I think it is a good deal, but that is me.

If you guys are still selling your phones, I would recommend putting an ad up on your local craigslist. Before I dove into the root world and unlocked my SG4G to its full potential, I posted an ad up to sell my phone for $200 and got all kinds of offers. This was about two months ago.
Sad to see many people moving away from this phone. Although I do believe it is becoming outdated, I still think its a great phone nonetheless. I'm personally holding onto it because I will be spending a year abroad and have already unlocked it for international use.
Best of luck.
I'm trading for an hd2 and beats!
