U.S. Moves to Block AT&T Merger with T-Mobile - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

YES!! I hope the government blocks the merger cause i dont want at&t. T-mobile sometimes makes me mad but i rather have them then at&t. I heard that at&t is not a good phone company to chose and if they get T-mobile they will increase their plan rates thats not good.

Im all for this merger, I mean we can only win here.
Way better coverage and a larger selection of phones.
The only problem I see is price agreement.

Price and data and customer service! I pay enough already and at&t is tight with their data. At least tmo gives us 5gb before throttling
I do agree with your opinion on coverage but is it worth all the bs...hmmmm

The only problems i see...
1) the company who care least about Androids just bought the company who cares the most
2) pricing, data plans, and overages
3) them forcing us to a) buy new phone b) living on EDGE.

you've got me lost.
The only up thing we will have in this merger is coverage. they say that they will honor our current contract, which may be true. But as soon as we go to upgrade we'll be forced into a ATT branded contract with higher fees, lower data caps. The only way i see around this is totally going to suck. Once our contract runs up we will be on a month to month basis with ATT. So we'll have to buy our phone @ full price to avoid the renewal of a contract. That is going to be a worse case situation, but it's still early.
I referred to the first problem off the three than you mentioned the company who care least will buy the one who care most and we all know than att his first top phone is the iPhone and now with the rumors of the iPhone 5 that just gonna blowup the att market

Alright guys look. In (I believe) the xda general forum there is a thread with this exact same site. I don't think I'm the only one not wanting to see like 5-6 different threads about the same thing.

you're right, why should people with a t-mobile mytouch 4g talk about t-mobile in the mytouch 4g section of xda forums. makes no sense. much better that it's discussed in the general where the majority of people don't even have contracts with t-mobile.

Because the mytouch 4g is the only T-Mobile phone, I'm sorry I must've forgotten that. And I also forgot that this would basically monopolize the us gsm network market. Not that that would affect anyone.

In the long run it will affect us.
They are wanting the AWS band that we use for their LTE network. Since our radio are programed for HSPA/HSPA+ they will not work with the LTE network. So yes it does affect us.
But they do have a valid point their are SEVERAL threads on this already. it is getting kind of old. And Facebook petitions add up to nothing. Heck real petitions do not mean anything any more.
there are question threads in the general section, general threads in the questions section, ROM questions in the themes and apps section. I just find it absolutely ridiculous that someone tries to do something positive (no matter how futile anyone deems it to be) and catches heat for it. Of all the misplaced, misdirected threads in the MT4G section, THIS one gets targeted? Come on.
and i know it affects us. it was a rhetorical question.

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
You made out on that trade even with the money involved. Congrats!

No Galaxy S II in America?

I envision a world where Apple fights competition through their products and not in the court room. But, alas, today is not that day.

It'll get here, they'll probably just settle the case with an ass load of money. They both have a lot to spare.

Eh, doesnt matter to me i snatched up my sammmy before this crazyness lol!! I hope the judge gets a hands on opinion with new samsung devices and then he/she can tell for themselves how different they are. I don't hate apple but this lowballing technique really doesnt help their image. Maybe they should create a phone that can actually compete with new android devices like the Evo 3d, now thats competition! In America "Competition means good business."
Apple sucks.

At&t is supposed to be getting it. But it doesnt look like there is any s2 branded for tmobile, or at least that supports tmobile AWS bands. You can order one unlocked and put your tmboile sim in it, but it will only work for voice and 2g/edge data. Even with that limitation...ive been thinking of buying one anyways, or the single core at&t infuse 4g and just unlock it and put my sim in it and live with the 2G data. Dont think i have the balls to live with 2g tho.
On another note, im guessing Tmobile USA isnt getting it because of the Hercules thats supposed to be released in September which is supposed the be like the s2 on steroids. lol.
I need to buy something new. The fact there are much more powerful phones out there even though i love my gs4g...is killing me softly...lol

Bye Bye

Because of T-mobile's enternal smartness, the phone they sent me when i sent in my own phone, was the new piece of junk LG Mytouch, which doesnt even have a XDA fourm page. but that means i cant develop for this phone any longer.
Edit: I plan on talking with Tmobile to see if a I can get a better phone or b I can some how get another glacier
I plan on pulling out the I have been with you for 16 years and I will leave card
Wow. The universe just took a big steaming one on your head. Suuuucks.
Man that truly does suck. T-Mobile is gay. I have straight talk so I steal their service at a cheaper price

Any wireless plans that give you truly unlimited data, tethering included

I'm starting to get tired of ATT, and I would like to switch providers. I only need unlimited data, and the ability to tether. I would also like to have the ability to keep my GSM phones active, but that's not a requirement. Does anybody have an idea who I could switch to?
No such provider exists. The closest thing you could get is the new Tmobile plan but it still has a soft limit (they throttle you) at 5GB.
I'm grandfathered in on AT&T's unlimited plan...when they threaten to take it away I threaten to go elsewhere.... 3 phones on my plan (Family Plan) and all 3 unlimited...not bragging, but only bring it up hoping you can tell them you want unlimited or you are going to another company that offers it. Won't hurt to try...good luck!

AT&T throttles the "unlimited" users at 3GB. I know because this happens to me almost every month.
OP... I believe sprint is still unlimited . Correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm thinking about going to straight talk
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
With the APN settings I use, I don't get throttled. Do a search, pretty simple settings. So many on here using it, surprised you're not. Great 4G towers in this area for AT&T, not so much for Sprint. But if Sprint is good in your area then I say make the switch! Seems like you already made up your mind anyways.

I personally switched to Straight Talk.....I'm on YouTube, Netflix, and droidtv all the time. Haven't noticed any significant throttling as of yet. Of course they are paying to "rent" att towers so i wouldn't be shocked to see throttling happen.
