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.

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.

Do you think Samsung will ever put Ice Cream Sandwich on the charge or we stuck with Gingerbread? if not, Will the developers here ever be able to develop ICS for the charge? The reason I ask is because the new Verizon contracts eliminate unlimited data and in order to keep it, I'm looking at buying phones outright to avoid signing a new contract. I know things can change between now and next spring when I become upgrade eligable, but I don't feel so lucky.
If Verizon does not change plans do you think it's worth looking at Sprint or is this a downgrade network and/or equipment wise?
Mike
ICS is working on the phone...sorta. CM9 is almost fully functional, but there's no mobile data, so it isn't usable as a daily driver. For it to become fully functional, the RIL needs to be fully cracked, and there's just no motivation for devs to work that hard on the RIL this phone. It's bleeding users (me including), and no other phones (other than some prepay variants) use the same radios, so there's really not much to gain. I don't think jt has given up, but I just don't think it's a priority.
I'd bet money that Samsung/Verizon will never release ICS. There isn't enough room for a TouchWiz version of ICS on /system, and you can bet that they won't release a Google Experience version.
Edit: You can do like I did and check out swappa.com. I bought a used device from there and had a fantastic shopping experience and got a great phone in great condition for a fair price. Can't say enough good things about that site.
Thanks. I kind of expected as much. This phone is getting kind of old. I still have it as I refuse to upgrade if I don't have to.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda app-developers app
I'm in the same boat right now. I have unlimited data and don't want to give it up, but paying for an un-subsidized phone is just insane. Really wish we had ICS on our phones, but I'm still hoping and praying that a dev could help us poor souls

That doesn't mean you're the only one that can read the reply. In an open discussion, responses are read/heard by everyone, and things said can often be more for the benefit of everyone else rather than the person it's directed at. It's a very common debate tactic to speak to the audience through your opponent, but it's useful in any open discussion. He quoted you because yours was the most relevant post.
Plus, you were talking about being scared of being taken on CL, so he was offering some very relevant advice.

The deal itself seems to be overwhelmingly lucrative. Seeing in recent years there has been a push to get cell phone service without a contract it would make sense that T-Mobile or any of the other big carriers to pick up pay as you go companies. I'm curious to see what changes happen for Metro PCS.

Yea who cares about those dirty employees. They make a mistake and they should be punished by losing money out of their paycheck. They're definitely not real people and definitely out to help you 100 percent of the time. That's what kills me. So many people talk about calling into Verizon and "raising hell" abusing the employees. I guarantee half the people here have never worked a customer service job and seen how stressful it is to be yelled out or make a mistake. Maybe instead of exploiting that mistake you should just wait for them to fix it. The worst part about working for verizon or any other company like it is that you make a mistake it comes right out of your pocket. You use that credit and you take money from someone else for making an honest mistake. I'm glad to know that there's people just ready and waiting to exploit verizon and by extension the employees. And the reason they are so ready to do this is because Verizon owes them something. Entitled ignorant customers, contrary to what that employee who's gonna lose 615 dollars is gonna be forced to say, I thank you for being the worst part of verizon.
