im with at&t
new phone is atrix(from ebay)
last phone i got from att was an lg shine
ive been (grandfathered) on unlimited everything for $20
ive had 3 smartphones since (htc raphel, fuse, and galexy s) all on att, they didnt have problems. i guess its the 4g thing
did updates on the atrix when i got it and was messaged by att saying theyre changing my plan. not cool, i dont need any faster internet.
i read that its helpless on sprint, is there any hope for me with att? ill be calling them soon...
dont want to pay an extra 40 a month for WAY LESS internet...
ps if i need to i can 'upgrade' to a basic cell phone again
thanks

So my contract is up and I'm thinking about switching to ATT. I'm going to wait until the inspire 4g first. Any thoughts on ATT?
The EVO you wish you had
Data plans sucks to be honest
Right now I pay 140 a month with a 20% discount. This is for a family data plan. I would get the same discount with ATT. I think I would pay about 160 or 170 with ATT

I think it comes to around $100 a month for a single line, not sure, never had a contract in my life jsut stuck around with prepaid. also you must be carefull when on roaming, as charges are heavy. if your just going for the phone, then you should wait as there are more phones coming to other networks
Thanks for the info. I didn't know ATT charged roaming.

Switch to T-Mo for the best Android phones and awesome customer support.

Frankly, if you live somewhere without 3G and want to use data, AT&T really sucks.
All this fastest network crap is moot when verizon and tmobile have high speed networks where I live and it takes me a full minute to load a web page.

Im in the same boat all my phones are going to be up this year and was thinking of switching to Tmo. but i have been with sprint for 9 or 10 years now and have not had one problem. so i might just stay with sprint.
Im on ATT and im on a family plan right now; my phone costs a total of 30 bucks a month (5 for having the line, 25 for 2gb data).
You should definitely wait until mwc to see what all comes out. The inspire looks really good though.
Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
I used to have AT&T and I switched to T-mo when the Nexus S was released. I got tired of my iphone and wanted to experience android. So glad i did!
I had been on AT&T for 7 years (4 years being an iphone user) and never really had any issues with there service.
I travel alot and always got wonderful reception no matter where I went ( besides LA, if you live in LA avoid AT&T)
if your looking to switch to AT&T I would deff check out the Moto Atrix 4G. Although I never liked motorola to be honest and think there phones are junk. There putting an a killer phone. Tegra 2 processor. Super AMOLED plus LCD.
Check out the Atrix 4G over the inspire, the inspire is sort of old technology I feel like when compared to the new powerhouse phones coming out with tegra 2's.
HTC should of revamped the Inspire with new internals instead of just rebranding the Desire.
Go for a company with a Unlimited Data Plan. I hate the ATT Data Plan.
I'm currently deployed and going back to states in july.
I dont want to pay extreme price to get unlimited data/talk/mms.
I saw boost mobile, cricket, and few other having $40-50 for unlimited everything.
But here is the question.
I really want to use HTC phone with 4.3 screen.
What will be the best choice for me?
I have friend selling Evo 4g from sprint for $200 but I read I cant use it on boostmobile. Other than that I can get desireHD for around 450 unlocked(GSM).
Need to be 4.3 inch screen with unlimited service from any network.
You could also try Simple Mobile. They are a GSM provider so an Evo 4g wouldnt work but a DesireHD should work just fine. They run $60 a month and I believe are using the same towers as T-Mobile uses also Wal-Mart has a GSM provider they are just starting to get into the market and I know they use T-Mobile's network just unsure as to what a total unlimited plan is cause they never actually say anything about data on their commercials on the radio either way there are two others you can look into.
You could just get Sprint's $69.99 plan, but with a smartphone it's +$10, then insurance (which I would recommend) is another $7. Everything is unlimited except calls to landlines, but you get 450 mins for that. With nights & weekends, you'd only use those minutes Mon-Fri, 7a-7p. So unless you call landlines all the time, it would be more than you'd need. It's not super cheap, but cheaper than any other major carriers.
Also be aware that AT&T just bought out T-Mobile, so say goodbye to decent prices there.
I love my Evo, even if it is getting a little dated. If you can get your hands on an Evo, it is possible to flash it to Boost. I think it's illegal, could be wrong. But I've heard nothing but horror stories about doing it. It'll save you $30/month, but you'll have to buy the phone at full price.
I'm out of ideas, sorry.
Thank you. I just found brand new unlocked DesireHD for $330 on craigslist. Going to tell my bro to pick it up.
Hope it works out when I get back.
Going to haggle with friend and see if i can get that evo for $150.

GO FOR DESIRE HD!!
Hello. Does anyone have any suggestions for a cheap (sub $200) Android phone with no contract for AT&T? My wife is wanting to get her first smart phone, but she is not due for an upgrade until January 2012. We are on AT&T through a business plan. I'm looking for something cheap and something that can run custom ROMs (has an active development base). I'm running a Samsung Captivate with Serendipity 7 now. I'd like to get an android phone for my wife and I don't have a problem setting her up for a data plan, but I'm trying to keep it under 200.
You might want to try one of the prepaid networks some like virgin/boost etc. many have decently cheap phones android phones off contract. If you do not mind being on a CDMA network instead of GSM you could always try the LG Optimus V it retails for 149.99 and the plans are cheap as well. Just food for thought.
Buy X10, its cheap **** when you buy it used, and until you dont have custom ROM/Kernel it really sucks, so you can play with this things Had it before really pain, even Had LG Optimus V/One yes that one have official dev in cyanogen. But i suggest something like Xperia Mini, i dont know price bcuz its still not out.
Ok I am a little noobish when it comes to the differences between networks. Can I unlock a boost or virgin phone and use it on att's network? I have thought about changing carriers too, but I would hate to do that and then never have a signal anywhere (i work IT in a rural town). The price difference between like att and tmobile is crazy though. I currently am on a business plan through my work and pay around 75 a month for 550 minutes and another 35 per month for unlimited data on one line.

No you can not use a CDMA phone (boost/sprint/metropcs/alltell-verizon/virgin) on a GSM network, (AT&T/T-Mobile). I'd go on to each of the carriers I mentioned websites and use their coverage maps to determine if you have service where you are.
Hi im currently on tmobile
when i first got my contract in tmobile i got an LG sentio then the next day i got a vibrant from ebay. i did this because i wanted a smarthphone, withouth having to pay for a smarthphone plan. saince i had a crapy phone (LGsentio) and not a smarthphone, i could change my plan options when i wanted, internet, text etc... a year ago i could use my vibrant with Tzones just fine, but thats over hahahahhha. Eany ways im thinking of swithching to ATT, but people keep telling me that i can not do like in tmobile, that even if i bring my own phone, they will still charge my for smartphone plan... let me explain. in tmobile if i get a contract and pick one of the free phones, if after that i buy a diferent phone in this case a smartphone i can still use it with just voice and text plan, its not required to have a smarphone plan sainse im buying the phone by my self.
the question is... if i switch to ATT and get one of the free phones, and after that lets say i but in ebay eany android phone, will they change my voice and data plan by it self to a smartphone plan? or can i use it with the normal plan i pik?
PS: i need it this way cause my job its not steady and when no good income is coming in, i have to take out internet and stuff.
