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

Grandfathered in as well to the old unlimited data gotta love it

Yep, I did this back in April just to see if it worked.
edit... yes it worked. Just be persistent when you call the rep and let them know exactly which plan it will be. (in the event that they try and tell you it doesn't exist.)

I'm good now... Hooked up, got unlimited days now

Same here... I found one for 40$ with a cracked screen on my local craigslist... Thing is local is 2 hours of driving to get the phone and the seller doesn't want to ship it...
Some people on the original post say they can do it for you... kind of skeptical but yet at the same time, interested in it...

I'll help you out...
I found one that is $50... and you can return it too after 3 days so if it turns out it can't work you can get a refund (and even it does work you can refund it too)....

I just got data flagged

I'm not in an lte market right now, I'm on hspa/umts only. No 3.5g. 3g only. I have used 2.7gb of UNLIMITED DATA and I got flagged. Wtf is that?
HTC = Hate The Consumer

they throttle the top 5% on unlimited plans. spoke to a rep yesterday. although your usage to me does not look like a 5%'er

My average usage is 2.5 to 3.8 according to the rep I spoke to. He is also curious why I got flagged. He said he will look into it and call me back.
HTC = Hate The Consumer

there are two threads here about this... one is titled throttled and the other is something along the same lines.. check them out for tips and gripes

Sprint may not have very good coverage but I can use all the unlimited unthrottled data I want . Not trying to rub it in (cause I used yo have AT&T and got throttled and capped) just saying it was a good switch for me.

The sad part is that even though sprint does not throttle their speeds Max at at about what we are throttled to lol. I left them in august and have not looked back.

Really??? I get a good 1-1.5 mbps continuous on 3g on my phone and computer when I use the hotspot. I font have 4g in my area to test that though. But when sprint launches their 4g lte in 2013 I will have it hopefully still unlimited too.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App

Yeah I was super dissapointed they did wimax and not lte.
Realize our 3g speeds are typically 1.5-5 , I have hit 12
When one gets throttled and can accomplish the apn trick...they are hitting 1.5-5 ...throttled
In my case here in Dallas i would get about 400kbps dload in most areas, which is why I left Sprint. Its different from area to area tho.

Yep had sprint for a few years and recently switched to At&t, the switch was night and day. I Showed my phone to a friend that still has sprint and he was amazed at how fast thing were loading especially YouTube videos and I wasn't even on At&t lte. I don't have an unlimited plan so I don't get throttled and average 1.3gbs per month so I'm good.

Anyone in DC using the GS3 on Verizon?

As stated, is anyone here currently using the GS3 on Verizon while in Washington DC? I'm wondering how the radio is along the Metro system as well.

I'm in the DC area, haven't gotten to try my GS3 on the Metro (maybe tonight), but if it's anything like when I had my T-Mobile G2, the GS3 should work even better. In some of the busier stations my G2 would actually get full "4G" service, so I'm assuming that my Verizon GS3 would get full service as well since Verizon was already a working network in the Metro system well before they started adding cell stations for other carriers to work.

I'm in NOVA but travel to DC often, you shouldn't worry at all man. I get full 4g on the metro and mostly everywhere else in DC.

+1, I've had the DROID charge, htc rezound and now S3. Best 4G signal so far and I travel through dc, md and va.
Weird thing is the dbm score is not that great.. But areas where I never had 4g gives me 4g very consistently and I have literally not had 1 drop call since I got this phone (June 29th)

Samsung Infuse on Simple Mobile Network. Can't get 3G.

Okay guys, on the day I got my Infuse I thought I give it a try and put it on the Simple Mobile 3G network. So what ticks me is that I'm always stuck on a 2G network with a big "E" on my status bar. I even called Simple Mobile customer service and they said they can't fix that. Dammit, there has got to be some way to bypass AT&T. Help me out guys. Thanks.

that's just a prepay plan on t-mobile. the infuse will need an att or similar sim card. t-mobile has unique frequencies and features on there network. it is not att's fault. edge only is typical with att phones. try strait talk, they sell sims now and you can specify att compatible.

Yeah...nothing you can do except switch carriers...go to straight talk, its $45 a month for unlimited everything, just go to there website and order an att compatible sim.
Your pretty much guaranteed to get edge when using an att phone on t mobile, simply because they run in differnt cell frequencies or whatever you wanna call it

Hey thanks guys, I appreciate the info. Now that I know, yeah I guess that sounds like a best solution is to just switch carriers. Then again I feel that I made a mistake by buying an Infuse. Dammit, should of gotten the Galax Epic 4G and flashed it to Cricket. But yup thanks guys.

I've been told you cant get 3g because the Infuse is a 4g phone. That could also be an issue as well. I ran into that problem when att had to replace my captivate with my infuse. This is what they told me.

That's not the issue at all...for one thing, the infuse isn't even real 4g...it runs on hspa+, hspa is 3g...so when you have "H+" you have 4g...when you have "H" you have 3g...when you have "E" you have edge/2g
These phones are backwards compatible...if they wernt then you would constantly lose data signal

No I moved to north Carolina and they have no service here. I have no choice but to roam. So they are canceling my contract for excessive roaming.

Where are you seeing all these lte issues? Beside even if it is dropping its better than Sprints NO LTE.

I have seen people complaining that it keeps kicking them down to 3g. But you are right the speed difference is huge. And no I don't have to pay an etf. I just have to send then all of my phones. Witch sux I just got the sgs3 two weeks ago

I am just trying to get a feel for issues if any at all. You know how some people whine and you can't get a good idea on a phone I assume it will be about the same with way better coverage and ddata speeds.

A lot of the lte drop you may be hearing of comes from the cynogen mods and aokp roms. But Verizon has the most solid lte coverage out there.
Plus like it was stated. I'd rather lte drop but have lte as apposed to no lte and real slow 3g speeds from Sprint

Go to the Verizon coverage map and check your area and see what kind of reception you get that's the best way to find out of Verizon is worth it.

You should just keep it and pay an ETF. You could easily sell for $500 on eBay to cover a $200 ETF.

I am using AOKP Milestone 6, and after tinkering with a couple things, I have a solid 4G connection. No unexplained drops to 3G in a 4G area for me.
And I agree with what's stated above. There is no way you'll want 3G once you get used to 4G.

stock Rom at the moment works best on this phone I would just stay with that till development matures a bit.

Verizon is a total rip off now. Data is way too expensive.
Good bye HTC Rezound, hello Galaxy S3!

It may be exspensive but for the same plan I have on sprint I can switch. And save 30 bucks a month that's with 4 gigs. Ill never use that Much. With sprint there data is so slow it'ss painfully. That's why its unlimeted. Cause there is nothing to limit lol.
