Your best bet would be to look at the AT&T website and check out reviews for the phones that may interest you on YouTube.
Another solution would be to unlock your SGS4G so you can use it on AT&T.
SGS2. my dream phone.

Aside from the obvious...dual processor etc...there are a couple of notable down grades in the sgs2 from sgs4g that will effect you daily. The main difference is the drop in audio quality, Samsung went cheap with the DAC's...no more Wolfson, some cheap Yamaha instead. Big turn off for me as my phone doubles as my mp3 player. I also read multiple online reviews that said the sgs2 eats battery like no phone before it. I'm not knocking it, but trading off audio quality and battery life for higher benchmark scores isn't for me. I'd unlock your sgs4g and get an AT&T Sim IMO..

Galaxy s 2. Infuse in the exact same thing as our phone, just a bigger screen and better camera. At least the galaxy s 2 is sorta an upgrade.

I'm in mexico at the moment. Don't bring your sgs4g. All carriers here use the same freq bands for 3g. They use 850 for 3G and 1900 for gsm, so you would get only 2g (
Edge).
Based on that info, look for a phone that will work well here.
Sent from my SGS4G using xda forum app
SGS4G can use the following Band (frequency):
* 850 MHz;900 MHz;1800 MHz;1900 MHz;UMTS: Band I (2100);UMTS: Band IV (1700/2100)

is your phone unlocked? Or are u on tmobile and just not getting 3g because thats kinda expected. I know the vibrant can do att 3g but im not sure on the GS4G
I'm not from the US. I just bought the phone there. I live in Venezuela and over there I have 3g just fine. I came to mexico to work, and bought a Sim card here, from one of the local carriers.
However, all of them use the same band for 3g which is 850. The sgs4g can only get hsdpa (3g) on 1900, 1700 and 2100 mhz.
If you don't mind (you should) using only edge, then bring it with
you, otherwise get another phone.

Is anyone in an area where t-mobile upgraded their network to HSPA+ 42? I live in such an area but am on Sprint but I'm considering switching to t-mobile.
Sprint's 4G here is a lot slower in most places than the theoretical maximums.
Considering most phones on the market can only do 7.2 or 14.4Mbps the so-called 42Mbps is marketing hyperbole. The G2X max speed is 21Mbps and you are never going to get top speed on any device due to OS overhead, etc.

Pretty sure the T-Mobile rocket USB modem does the 42. But in my findings you are lucky to ever get half of a theoritical speed and that's on any cell network.

double
well if it is doubled shouldnt are speeds double even on g2x
You don't even need 42mbps... Around 5-6mbps is great for streaming video!
I live in Dallas Texas we suppost to have the 42mbps
but my g2x sometimes when it wants to get 5mbps in downtown dallas where i live
and only one day i got 14mbps
and i called tmobile about my horrible speed they said i havent reached 2gb of data so they assume it has something to do with the tower i was using. ok so i go all around DFW
and i get same speed 2 or 3mbps
so i think is not the tower.
somebody told me that sometimes taking off the battery and wait 5 minutes straight the phone will reset and get rid of all data of towers and start again so i did that to see if my speed was any better and i had no luck so but hey with that horrible speed i can still stream and downloads roms very fast from my phone !!
I get 6-8mbps on "4g" and i'm not really in that big of a city (Virginia beach, VA)

Nope...once you go to SM you are free of T-Mo. However, if you use Wifi calling or other T-Mo branded items you will not be able to use them on SM.
I did have a data loss last week with Simple here in Sacramento. They had tower issues. But nothing else of consequence.
One issue that I have had. On virtually every ROM is editing the APN. YOu can usually edit it once, but when you go back in often the APN's do not show up. Food for thought.
Lol. Hmm thank God. I'm going to get sm tomorrow. Thank you very much.

Actually you can and do get 4g depending on where you are located. I am in Sacramento and get 4g speeds on SM.
Your plan also has to do with speeds. If yo are on the $40.00 plan yes, you are restricted to 3g. If you pay $60.00 then you get 4G.
And no you do not have to unlock for SM.
They do offer a $60/month plan that has 4G. As usual the giant word plastered all over their website and retailers is "unlimited" - which, as we all know, is a load of crap. Yes it's "unlimited internet" - however you get 1gig at 4G - then the rest of the month you're throttled to a whopping 56k (so useless you can't even stream a song with it).
As for the disappearing APN problem - if you run the CM7 ROM, and you're APN's are not in there - all you have to do is pull the battery out, restart the phone, and the APN's are back in. Also as pointed out the specialized apps for t-mobile like the wifi calling app won't work.
Anyway - all that being said - I've been on Simple with my G2X for 3 months and it works quite well for me. Only wish they offered more data in the plans - so I try to stay connected to a wifi hotspot as much as possible.
I thought there flyer says 2gigs of data hahaha on the 60 dollar
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Yes you do have to be unlocked on simple mobile. You cannot use a simple mobile sim in a locked phone. You also get 2gigs of data on the $60 plan and 4g if available in your area.

So i was just watching some reviews on phones and i heard one of the people say that the device he was talking about gets LTE 4g speed then he mumbled thats HSDPA+ for you who didnt know. and i remember seeing on gingerbread when your first upgraded to it you get a welcome screen mentioning that our device has HSDPA+
so will i be able to get on EE (a uk network for 4g speeds) and get the speeds of 4g?
