Just curious. They have nice plans ($40 everything unlimited 3G speeds and $60 everything unlimited 4G speeds) which run on T-Mobiles network.
Any you guys have it here with the Sensation? If so, how is the experience? Same as with T-Mobile? Better? Worse?
I'm getting it within the next few weeks my mom has it and it's fast here in Chicago and it saves alot of money.

Yeah. The way I see it, I'm going to be paying $40 for the same service (Don't really need the "4G") and will be saving a whole **** load of money a month. Gonna pay both of my ETFs and see how it goes
Too good to be true...
Looks like SimpleMobile's "3G" speed is really 2G / Edge.

If anyone does decide to go with Simple, I suggest you buy your sim on Ebay for a .99 vs. the 12.99 on their website....
Their 4G speeds are really TMo's 3G speed.
Damn marketing / false advertising.
Ur better of getting in a prepaid from tmobile 70 bucks for everything unlimited and 5 gb of 4g speeds (3.5g). Simple only gives u 1 gb of 4g speed and then it gets capped

No one in my life cares except for my XDA family..
I just got the dreaded text from t-mo and was immediately throttled to .006mbps. Seriously, FML. I have like 20 days left in my cycle. ARRRRGGHHHH
I even was desperate enough to try the (now defunct) alternative APN internet1.voicestream.com. I even tried internets 2 and 3!!!
God forbid I run into any feral cats on my walk home, because I am going to punt something and I prefer pine cones, but homeless cats fly further.
Happened to me last month. It sucks balls bug time. Sorry dude, calling tmo wont help either trust me....

It does not.
I get throttled every month. I make good use of my phones browsing. Its starting to annoy me. My cycle ends on the 21st and I been throttled for 2 weeks now.

The way to get around data throttling is to have a friend that works at TMO and use their unused $5 employee data only plan. I now effectively have 5 more GB on a spare SIM card. Once I get throttled on my MT4G I start tethering on my MT3G.

Your only 4 hours from TMO 's headquarters. Take a road trip, find a bar close to HQ, and find a group of ppl w TMO phones.
Just wondering if anyone can help me out with any tweaks to beat this damn 60kbps throttle from tmobile. I have tried the patch that was created for the froyo roms but it didn't work for me. Any information would be greatly appreciated please PM me. Its best the information isn't posted publicly due to the brown nosing tmobile turds that troll these forums. Thanks in advance.

There is no way around the cap. It is done of T-Mobiles servers and linked to your SIM card. Many people have tried to get around it without any luck.

I can dig what you're saying but I'd like to think of it as being resourceful rather than cheap. After all it is android, several exploits and loopholes exist for other devices already. Ill keep fishing and maybe I can figure it out. Maybe IP/MAC spoofing would work to avoid the asshats at T-Mobile.

thats what i did lol theres your throttle fix.
It's not a work-around to the T-Mobile cap exactly. But by fine tuning when and how your installed apps use data, can keep you under the cap. For example instead of streaming podcast with Mediafly I installed DogCatcher. I set the download permissions for the application to only update when connected to WiFi and plugged in.
That alone has cut my data usage in half. Fine tuning other settings in apps like email, facebook and twitter have also cut down my data usage. I went from always bumping the data cap to moving to the next lowest data rate plan.
Something to consider!

im not being cheap at all!! but is it possible i can up to the 10GB/ month? i just started a 2 yr contract 2 months ago and i get capped everymonth so far to 56k speeds...i pay 100 dollars a month and i think thats alot already! thats no fun when i dont get access to wifi everywhete like most of you.
If you change your phone number & get a new SIM chip it resets yer data usage. Setup google voice, get 5GIG plan - wait 2 weeks & spend $15 to have phone number changed and get another 5Gig. Two more weeks, billing cycle starts over, another 5GIG. Wait 2 more weeks and change phone number again - 5 more gig. Repeat every month. If you use google voice then everyone will still have your phone number. I think to get the 10gig plan it's 30 bucks so this saves you 15 bucks a month. Of course its also a huge pain in the ass for 15 bucks.
Lol that's actually pretty damn clever. A huge undertaking, but still clever. Well done.

Sprint is unlimited and true they don't throttle - HOWEVER what they do is kick you off the network and cancel your contract if you use "too much" data. Happened to me a year or two ago.
Well regardless, I'm satisfied with the new beast. And still have the G2X on the side to play around with.

$10 more and u will have 5g. Just call the customer service and ask them. I did and I'm on 5g. $87.08 a month for me. But I got a 15% discount cause I'm a firefighter or it would be 102.98

How does simple mobile's $40 unlimited plan work with the One S?Is any body in here on that plan? If so what is the data speed? I am planning on using the One S on TMO's $30 5gb data plan but the 100 mins is too short. If the SM plan has 3g unlimitted I'd rather sacrifice 4g speed for unlimitted mins and 3g. Thanks.
Sent from my EVO 4G using XDA
I wouldn't go simple mobile because I had the $40 plan back on my amaze and the 3G speeds are a joke. Also if you want to use the internet you must program the APN settings which is annoying and sometimes doesnt work anyways along with MMS.

But it is on simple mobile's approved phone list,it even states that it will work on SM's 4g.

Does Simple use T-Mobile's 3G bands? If not, the best you'll get is EDGE.
True, but they cap you at around 1GB of data use on 4G and 3G speeds are the same as EDGE speeds. I never had a problem with simple mobile till last month when they completely cut off my data for going over 1.5 GB on my Nexus Prime. I was on their $60 plan. There are also videos on YouTube that show simple mobiles 3G speeds and why you shouldn't go with them.

I was thinking about switching to simple mobile I know the 3g speeds are terrible but I'm on wifi 90% of the day so it really would affect me there is wifi at my college wifi at my work and wifi at my house lol so I'm ok with edge speeds

I'm on simple mobile 50 dollar plan! As u may know ,simple mobile runs on T-Mobile network, so you would get the same speed and reception as T-Mobile. I'm in new York and an getting up to 15mbps on simple mobile...YEAH that's right..

After 2 gigs it they do throttle unfortunately... but I've never heard of the account shut downs. If you use Wi-Fi ad much as I do send make sure you check the 848484 info via text messages you should be fine. This is coming from a heavy data user. Minor adjustments made and its well worth it

In Atlanta my average speeds are 13mb/s from Tmobile and 8mb/s from Simple Mobile.
So I'm getting a Samsung galaxy s 2 skyrocket and I'm gonna get the prepaid 50 dollar a month everything unlimited for it. My question is the data. Will it truly be unlimited data on att's 3g speed with no slowing down after you reach a certain mb? Any more tips anybody would like to share would be appreciated. Thanks.
Sent from my HTC_Flyer_P512_NA using xda app-developers app
It'll be unlimited data as long as there's no "problem" with data where you are, but no guarantee that it'll be at any specific speed. No carrier offers any speed guarantee (it's "up to X speed") or 24/7/365 availability (if the tower has a problem, or if they cut you off, you get "the lie of he day").
Ahhhh I see. I'm I'm Atlanta ga, so I'm wondering if there will be any 4g LTE coverage in this area. I should check on there website. Thanks for the info man
