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edit: that first link is from june 2010 and the second is from jan 2011 with outdated info saying basically the same as the first one...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

Update and Conspiracy Theory

I am thinking something... What if someone from LG or TMo deliberately put out this update in order to find out who has a rooted device? We know that if they can prove you did root you lose warranty and YOU CANNOT SUE... And if you cannot sue... Well

No.
-Tmobile phone

Lol, nice try but no, not likely.

They most likely leaked this publicly because of the class action lawsuit. Its not complete yet so it just means they are still working on it. Im sure that it was just some big wig at t-mobile or LG that said throw out what we have regardless of whether its done or not. That way by the time the class action lawsuit even begins the issue will be mute. Its just to shut us annoying brats up

Lmao. That's a definite no. Samsung has done this same thing in the past so its nothing new. Most likely the intent was to leak it out on purpose to keep some of us from jumping off the roof. I personally would of rather LG/T-Mobile publicly speak about the matter than to just leak out the software.

I'm the opposite. While I'd like at least some direction and a hard date, I like the leaked roms because at least YOU KNOW they are working on it. Words don't mean anything... especially from big corps PR

I would rather see what's being done rather than them telling me they're working on it.
And yes, a lot of people unrooted before they updated so your theory doesn't hold up.

OK, since I am a wet - new noob and can't get back to the pix of the device until I've posted at least 10 times, a question for xredjokerx: Have you gone inside the unit yet and is that 8GB of storage internal or just the SD card? Also, is it loaded Gingerbread?

i believe its 16gb total internal storage, 4gb for system 8+gb for storage

Well it's legit but it is too bad the market place thread was deleted. I like the discussion

pls sell it to me

Just a word of warning...the guy who found the IPHONE 4 prototype in the bar and sold it is now being prosecuted.

I would think they would have to go that way, since the Atrix is running 16 internal, 1GB RAM and capability for 32GB microSD. What I'm hoping for in this device is something of an "Atrix as it should have been" kind of device. The various rumors have it as having Gingerbread 2.3.4 installed. Was that the case on this device? I'm hoping they rework the exterior (including a kickstand) and go with Gorilla glass for the screen in the production versions. Did you look at the battery yet, as to capacity? I guess basically what I'm hoping for is something like a Thunderbolt or Sensation on steroids as far as features and performance go. I eagerly await your further impressions on this device.

Buy now or wait for Prime?

I've been searching around this thing called the internet for an answer but I can't seem to find an answer as to if/when we're getting the S5 Prime on Sprint. Anyone know the details?

That's because no one knows and it hasn't even been made official although everyone knows it's happening. My guess is, is that it might not even be available in the US.
There's a post on Sammobile saying there will be "limited quantities" of it due to production costs of the 2K display.

I'd buy it again..
Buy a new device whenever you need/want it because waiting for the next great device will never work by the time that device comes out the next great thing will again be on the horizon and the cycle continues..

Oh I've been through the cycle and back. Lol. Good to know that the reports are vague at best. The last thing I want to do is use my upgrade now and then find out that a better version of the phone is coming out in 2 weeks.

That's how it usually happens... I hate that **** too

The answer is simple, if you think you will want what's in the ''prime" more then the reg s5 what's waiting another Month or so? If the s5 is good for what you want, then why wait?

I hate to say it, but ive never been more disappointed with a phone than with my s5. Battery isn't that good compared to my g2, it's slower than my s4 as far as unlocking and opening the camera, the fingerprint scanner is garbage for unlocking the phone. The camera is great in bright and dark situations but lower light it sucks. I do however like the look and feel, which is weird because most people talk about how much they hate it. Also why hasn't samsung implemented auto-input in the keyboard, it's 2014.

How do I know if a oneplus one is a genuine 1

I've been offered a one plus one to buy for 250 but I always thought genuine ones said cyanogen on the back as the 1 I'm looking at doesnt. Is it a big problem if I got a Chinese 1 can I do all I can on it as a genuine 1. I'm in the UK is 250 a good price? Thanks

Chinese version is genuine. Just has less LTE support in America. In UK it's fine however. Check your carriers bands and the bands of the Chinese opo. If they match, go for it.

I have the Chinese its 100% genuine and original but lacks the CyanogeMod logo/markings on the rear this is obviously due to the Chinese versions not shipping with CyanogeMod but rather with ColorOS. And yes you can do EVERYTHING on it that you would be able to do on the international version. You need not worry. As you can also see below LTE shouldn't be a problem for you either in the UK,with a Chinese OPO.

I've been getting all my invites around the same time every month. 24th or 26th of each month, I've just bought my third one. Hoping to net one without the yellow, but so far I'm just selling them on eBay for a small profit. I hate eBay's 10% take, and PayPal' fee too...

Sorry guys I wasn't swearing at any of you so please don't take it like that. I said it as a saying. Like oh my god I cannot believe it but while I'm emailing the chap with the Chinese version. I literally get my invite at that point. Just thought it was a big coincidence. I wasnt having a go at any of you for the fact its came while I'm still waiting to be paid. Just a bit annoying as I don't want to miss it now its came. And I wasn't annoyed at either of you guys. There was nothing to swear at you about. you guys helped me with my question about if I got a Chinese version is there much difference. Then few minutes later I received my invite. I'm sure I can sort something out. Again no offence intended just wanted to say that as I didn't realise some took it to mean I was swearing at them but I wasn't.

I have the Chinese 16gb and the cm 64gb,there's no difference apart from the logo and obviously sd size. I flashed both with twrp and chucked the cm11s on the Chinese, both perfect.

Its all cool oneplus are currently processing my order
