Text from AT&T about 4G

This morning I got this text from AT&T about needing a 4G data plan. I came from an iPhone 4 and bought an Inspire 4G on ebay and just used the same SIM. Does anyone have any suggestions what I should do? I have an unlimited data plan so I don't wanna lose it.

You need to get a 4G sim card from the AT&T store

Sim card doesn't matter
Sent via the power of a unicorn's horn.

@poetofsound,
All you have to do is call AT&T and tell them to switch your plan to a 4G plan. It's the same price as 3G ($15 for 200MB, $25 for 2GB). If you've currently got the iPhone unlimited plan, then you will be grandfathered into the unlimited 4G plan.

is it possible to do that without changing my plan up and would I still be able to switch between iphone and inspire?

Yes, you can just keep the same plan you have now. It's the same plan data-wise and speed-wise; AT&T merely has separate 3G/4G plans in their system, and they've detected that you're using the Inspire instead of an iPhone. No need to change sims or anything, it's merely a technicality in their system.

Alright thanks for the info! I live right down the street from the AT&T store so I'll just go there.

I had a similar problem with ATT that they told me my unlimited plan would not work with the Inspire 4G. I called on the phone and spoke with a manager and she said it would be okay. So, if they keep telling you that you can't do it, just keep at them and they will eventually give in.

I just got a new inspire from ATT.
When I activated the phone, it gave me the 3g plan. I had to call to get it switched to 4g. Is there really any difference in sim card and/or plans other than semantics?

The plans which ATT claim are 4G are capped plans. You need the Smartphones Personal plan. If you had it on 3G you can get grandfathered in. I'm using a 3G sim in a rural area with just one 3G tower and getting 5mbps down with 1mbps up. The salesman at the shack had to call ATT because the plan is not listed, but I was able to keep it. As long as you are within 30 days of signing the contract you have the right to make them give you your unlimited data back.
Sent from my Inspire using the dark side.

The only reason they tell you that you have to be on the '4G' plan is so they can track usage, and the only reason for the '4G' sim is because that sim is LTE ready- so whenever ATT launches LTE, some phones will be good to go.
The '4G' plan is a load. Currently, ATT's '4G' networks is HSPA+... which is just the true potential of 3G, but not quite real 4G... REAL 4G will not be available on ATT till ATT launches LTE sometime next year...

I read the title to this thread
and had hope that they chose you to text that there really is an LTE chipset in the Inspire....oh never mind

Haha! Nice! Sorry for the confusion If I do I'll contact you first

When I switched from an iphone to inspire, they also need to change your voicemail configuration. apparently it wasn't all part of a single process for the conversion. what ended up happening was they did not change my voicemail over and I was unable to access the voicemail system from my inspire.

Have you check out Youview. Great voicemail for Inspire!

AT&T is a bunch of shady bastids when it comes to data plans, they want to charge you for using their under-performing network so they can not upgrade it some more. But if you keep after them they'll switch you to an unlimited 4G plan, grandfathering crosses over.

Question for Straight Talk Users

I currently have a Nexus 5 bought from the Google Play Store. I am using it on the Sprint Network (Which I do not have LTE in my area) and I am tired of waiting. My contract is up in Jan. I am wondering how the service is through straight talk? Both T-Mo and AT&T have LTE in my area so I guess it doesn't matter what SIM card I use from Straight Talk. (I am leaning more towards AT&T) speed tests have shown it to be the faster of the 2. Is Straight a nation wide coverage, or will I have roaming when I leave my city while traveling? The $45 for Unlimited price is why I am asking.

I am currently using my nexus 5 on Straighttalk (ATT sim). I absolutely love it. For my area, it has almost as good of coverage as verizon, and the LTE is on average 4x-7x as fast. My average on verizon was about 4mbps. I am averaging 18-30mbps on ATTs network. I don't know if it was my old phone making verizon so slow here or what. it was an OG droid razr maxx.
Talk, sms, mms, LTE, etc all work great. Just remember, data isn't *really* unlimited on straight talk. I guess actually it is, but after you use 2.5gb, they throttle you way down. Super slow. I am going to used it for a few months, if i end up going over the 2.5gbs much, i am considering trying T mobiles 70 dollar truly unlimited data plan.
Good luck and enjoy your nexus :good:
PS, here is a speed test done on LTE about 5 minutes ago.

How is the Coverage (Not Data) any Dropped Calls? I travel a lot so will I be "roaming" if I leave my "home" city?

Straight talk works a little different than other carriers, it never shows you as "roaming", however you can "roam" in some areas, but not as many as if you had went with ATT or tmobile directly.
But hey, that's the beauty of non contract, if the coverage doesn't work for you, you are not bound by a contract.
For my area, i have experienced 0 dropped calls, i did have 1 spot, 1 time, 1 day that a call *almost* dropped, but it recovered. I have not experienced that again, even in the same spot that the first one almost dropped. Call quality has been as good, or better than verizon(that is compared to my old phone, so that's not apples to apples).

I switched from sprint after 10 years and I have no regrets. My service is superb. You can always buy a sim card and try it out with a random phone number. Just be aware that if you decide to port your sprint number later you will need a new sim.
I'm using an AT&T sim btw.

I too switched from Sprint to Straight talk, I honestly could not be happier. I ALWAYS have 4g whether it be HSPA+ from 2-8mbps or LTE from 13-30mbps. 0 dropped calls and no issues with anything else. Sometimes MMS takes awhile to get working but I've gotten good APN settings so it takes care of that.

T-Mobile

Anyone here using T-Mobile? I have been using Aio Wireless, but since I generally go over 2GB I have been using the PRO option. It's $70 a month and you get only 7GB of usable data(then they throttle you so bad you can't even read an email). If i switch to T-Mobile pre-paid account(which are identical to post-paid now that they killed all contracts) I can get Unlimited LTE for the same price. So my question isn't about the network which I know varies by town, it's about the carrier in general. Do they throttle? Cap ya? On AIO for example I am hard-capped at well below what post-paid AT&T people can get. How are they on OTAs? I don't know how that works exactly with a Nexus device on a post-paid carrier I have always used an MVNO. Any insight as to how they operate and do business would be very helpful!

NO
Well maybe.
Check the tmobile threads

There's plenty of t-mobile threads. Pick your poison.

AWESOME that's exactly what I needed to know! They just turned on LTE here in my town recently so I'll find out about the coverage. The map is telling me its wall-to-wall city wide with no blindspots. At any rate it won't hurt to check them out for a month now that I know the speeds aren't throttled and they don't yell about hotspot usage.

Go prepaid for a month. I checked their coverage map and it said the same thing about my area. Bought the N5 from them as soon as it came in. Haven't seen LTE once at my house. I called plenty of times, but no progress.
What's this about them killing contracts? I signed a 2 year plan that I'm currently trying to get out of because their service is garbage, despite what their coverage map says.

As I understand it, T-Mobile contracts no longer exist. But if you got into one prior to this change, you are probably stuck.

call them and change your plan to one of the no contract plans, theyll gladly change you. then a month later, go to another provider. i was 7 months into a two year contract when i called and changed my plan to a no contract plan several months ago, and ive changed it several times since. now im just all unlimited.

stream music(high quality), stream and download an occasion movie, download rom/kernel uodates often, hang out on xda, download rom/kernel updates for my nexus 4/nexus 7, keep my apps updated(2gb games too), keep my two other nexii apps updated.. i can go on. basically i use my nexus the way its meant to be used. and on top of that, i have 25-40mbps download/23mbps+ upload lte speeds. thats why all data plans should be unlimited, so people could use their devices how they were meant to be used.

That story makes me want to do business with them. I know they had little choice in the matter, but their desperation for our business has forced them to be so nice and easy to deal with that comparing them to Big Red or Ole Blue there is just no comparison anymore. I find myself pulling for them, and who would have thought I'd ever pull for a wireless company?

While the plans are the same for pre and post paid, they are a little different in that post paid plans will take preference when there is network congestion. The T-Mobile web site tells you that. I found the download speeds were generally the same for both plans but the upload speeds were a lot faster on postpaid. The upload test on pre paid would start fast then quickly switch to a much slower speed. Not a big deal for me as I think most apps benefit from faster download speeds. No caps as far as I know.

[Q] Leaving Verizon Unlimited Data for T-Mobile and N5

So I've been really thinking of leaving Verizon and my grandfathered unlimited data to switch to T-Mobile and the Nexus 5. I am extremely reluctant to leave the grandfathered plan because I know I won't be able to get it back once I leave. I live in Los Angeles and T-Mobile has decent LTE coverage here. Thought it's still very sparse compared to Verizon. I would be switching over a total of 4 lines, 2 of witch have unlimited data. On Verizon I use about 15gb - 20gb of data (mostly tethering).
The main reason for me wanting to leave is cost savings and available devices. I'm tired of waiting on Verizon for updates to the limited amount of phones they do offer. It seems unless you have an iPhone you're at the mercy of Verizon (even the Galaxy Nexus couldn't resolve this).
I'm looking for anyone who has made the switch and how it's been going? Is it worth it? Any regrets?
I am currently testing a Nexus 5 on T-Mobile and love the phone! The service is decent also. I have a Moto X Dev Edition on Verizon which is no slouch either, but the guaranteed updates on the Nexus 5 are very appealing to me.

do it. i had verizon. but just the bare minimum. 2 gb of data. 450 minutes and unlimited texts. i was paying 90 a month and thats with a 22% discount. with tmobile im at 85 a month with unlimited texts and minutes. 2.5 gb of data with gets throttled down to 3g when i go over it
and thats not even counting my 15% discount i get from my job. verizon has good coverage but the money was just too much. and i didnt even have a crazy plan. since you tether you should be good

Sounds as if you have the answer. You're testing a T-mobile line and can do a direct comparison. I moved from a Verizon unlimited plan to the T-Mobile unlimited everything plan and have been happy with it. LTE coverage has been good where I live. The only difference I've seen so far is T-mobile generally has EDGE or GPRS when traveling highways outside of populated areas where Verizon might have LTE on the highways.

It will be gone soon just hold on, atleast its better than Sprint

I did the same. I never had any complaints about Verizon service and loved the unlimited data but even with a 25% discount it was still expensive. I was also tired of their strict device polices. I always had to make sure the next phone I got was hackable before purchasing just so I could run a current version of android. The fact that I'd also have to pay full price for each new phone just to keep unlimited sealed the deal. If I'm going to pay full then it'll be for the device I really want. Not the limited, locked down devices they offer. I've been using TMO unlimited. In my area, it's fine for the most part. I have good coverage in the places I spend the most time and the data speeds are good. The only time I miss Verizon is on the rare occasion that I'm traveling or in rural areas. In those cases I may be stuck on 2G or no signal at all. Overall, it was worth the switch.

We made the switch last month from big V to T-Mobile and are glad we did. Better service faster speeds and lower price, plus the ability to use a pure Google phone without any carrier bs. it was pure win for my wife and I.

I guess the thing that worries me is the coverage. I've been carrying around both phones for a week now and I've been doing speed tests almost everywhere I go. The result is Verizon consistently has higher speeds (for me pegging out at about 57mbs). Now I don't know if that really translates into Verizon being "better". Do I really need all of that speed if all I'm doing is streaming netflix or youtube and tethering? Or is that speed only relevant if I'm downloading things?
Thank you all for the input you've given so far.

I made the same switch yesterday and couldn't be happier. Bought two nexus and am glad I did. Best part is we bought them flat out. Just have to pay 80 and taxes and fees. service is excellent and call quality is superb. I don't mind staying with T-Mobile for a little bit but plan on switching to Aio because it's cheaper and more data per month.

Should I switch to Sprint?

OK guys so I'm currently with Verizon and my bill for 3 lines usually is $236 including insurance for 2 phone (8bucks each) 10 gigs and a constant $5 dollar late fee (cell phone bill falls on the same check as rent) now with sprint offering to slash 50% off any competitors price I'm really leaning towards sprints note 5. (Mainly for root purposes and a much cheaper bill) Now the only thing holding me back is "reliability" I live in Wildomar Ca, pretty much Temecula Ca, and the coverage map on sprints website says it's good coverage I'd rather have some input from a real person who uses their network around my area. Does anyone here live near this area who can shed some light on their experience with sprints network in or near this area?

I'm not trusting the accuracy of the sprint coverage map at all.

Here is my 1 bar daily average
I think this site has a much more accurate map of the sprint network.
The speeds I'm averaging are slower than dial up from 1993 both up and down. But if i pop in a t-mobile sim it's faster than my t-mobile note 3. So i blame sprint network not the phone.

No chance you are even in San Diego County. That screenshots so hot it must have been burning a hole in your pocket for almost 4 hours and 20 minutes

I pay about $250 on 5 lines after Employee discount. I also have a legacy plan. Customer Service sucks. Techs are idiots. However, the actual service is quite excellent. Band 41 LTE is nice when I land on a tower.

I find Sprint Customer service to be ok. Service has gotten better. There are places where the other three carriers will get sata but Sprint doesn't have data. There is the flip side too where Sprint has data and Verizon or T-Mobile doesnt.
If they are offering the 50% off, might be worth a try. You can always quit Sprint if you don't like it.

Almost 100mbps up and 14mbps down is meh on a cell network? Yeah, it's no Google Fiber, but 100mbps for a cell network is better than "meh".

My bad
But to OP, in terms of reliability, Sprint is changing their return/exchange policy for new lines of service to 28 days. That means you have 28 days AFTER the day of the sale to decide whether or not if you want to stay with sprint with your plan 50% off (note that these are only CURRENT plans from TMo/VZW/ATT). You do have the option of picking which plan you want from that carrier (ie: if you want more data, you're not locked into your current data rate plan), which has changed since Cut Your Rate Plan in Half - where you only had the option of your current rate plan or Sprint's plans.

I would see if you can get an response from someone locally. Cause they would give you a better response if its worth it or not. And even before you leave i would see what Verizon is willing to offer before you leave them completely. They might work in some good deals for you. Last thing you want to do is come to sprint and suffer that horror they call data. I barely pull down 5gb in my area. Planning to switch to ATT soon.

That sounds like a very case by case situation. I never have a problem roaming, I only have a problem with wifi calling - standard handoff not working like it should sometimes.
