Amazon Wireless has the MT4G for $50 if you want to upgrade, but is that truly the best price? I was wondering if anyone has gotten retentions to give them a free MT4G for renewing/subscribing.
dude, are you kidding me?
theres people paying $500 and your asking if you can get it for free cause $50 doesnt seem good enough?
if your eating from soup kitchens i highly doubt getting the MT4G should be a concern for you

Please re-read what I said in my post before you give your input.
I am unsure of where you got the idea that $50 is not good enough, as I only asked if anyone was able to go through retentions to get it for free.
Lastly, I do not understand your comment about the soup kitchen, so I will ignore your post otherwise.

$50 is the lowest I've seen anywhere. However, keep in mind that Amazon may not allow you to keep your grandfathered plan if you are renewing. I tried to upgrade through Wirefly, since they were less expensive than T-Mobile, but the website was forcing me to select a more expensive data plan and a different minute allowance. No thanks.

I just tried going through the checkout options through Amazon and it allows me to keep my plan the same, but forces the $30/mo service option. On my lunch break I'm going to call retentions and have them try to match the Amazon price, and if I can get them to do that I'll be upgrading my G1 and my fiance's Behold 2 today

Yes they'll enforce a data plan, but I don't want to have to spend $30/mo for the unlimited data plan when I'm on an unlimited data plan right now at $20/mo so that's what I'm trying to keep the same.
I paid 50 for my MT4G with NO data plan. Loving it!

From retentions, or from a third party dealer?
I'm thinking about jumping on the. Is it worth it to upgrade from a Nexus One to the MT4G? I like the wireless N and 4G speeds.

Retentions will let you keep the $20/month android preferred plan if you already have it.
I just ordered my mine through amazon last night, don't mind paying 30 since I pay 27 now. Something that bothered me though was even though they give 2 day free shipping, my estimated delivery date (according to website order status) is dec 31... wtf!!

Had a buddy order his earlier today through Amazon as well and his says Jan 3rd. But he called amazon wireless customer service and was told their next stock comes in in 8-9 days and all current orders fit within that new inventory so the 1-2 week backorder status should remain accurate.
With this Amazon deal up now, I'm going to go out on a limb and say we're gonna see free phones with upgrade within a week. I'm holding out.
Got mine last week at costco for $99. Walked in today and saw they were offering new lines for $49. Brought in my receipt and got the difference refunded

You mean "4G," right?
I don't know what your data experience was like with the N1, with the MT4G it's been really good. I've tested it from Boston to Manhattan and everywhere in between, the connection has been pretty solid and low latency.
That said, I was upgrading from a G1, so I was totally blown away. I think coming from the N1, this will be a less exciting upgrade for you.
retentions
Went through retentions last week for MT4G.
$99 + $20 unlimited plan
with new 2yr contract extention
I was out of contract and upgrading to new phone.
For those ppl upgrading, $99 seems to be the sweet spot?
(The amazon link says $149.99 if you're already a TMO customer; $49.99 for new and $79.99 for new family.)
Looks like no one has gotten it for free just yet, hm?
Have you guys heard about the 'buy one get one free' plan for Nov 26 - Jan 18?

Even if you did that (And no, I haven't heard of that) it would still average out to $100 per phone.
I got mine for $511 with a case.

Nothing makes me feel more warm and fuzzy than 2.4GB of free data, split up over 12 mos, in order to contractually obligate my business to them for the next 2 years!

Yes it seems kinda lame, do the math though and it's not so bad.
250 upfront for the phone
50 mail in rebate and a 120 bill credit=80 for the phone.
Better that the wallmart deal, it just takes some time for it to pay off.

Ah, I see the grayed out text at the bottom now, barely readable so as to hide it from customers.
The graphic in the picture says one year of free data without any asterisk at all, not one year of free $10 data.
Isn't that illegal false advertising? Jerks. I hate when companies do that.
& to think I almost waited for the Sat sale. Need to look closer @ details & see if we can access this for our grandfathered plans, I'm not giving that up. Wish I'd picked up those free phones for my kids in Feb, arghhhhh!
The word from my market manager is that there will not be any more free phone sales (like last year's father's day sale) because of high fraud / cancellation rates.
This market manager is not a very reliable source ( calling her an idiot is an insult to idiots everywhere ) but this makes sense now that we know what the sale is.

FYI, if you are adding a new line or are a new customer, tmo currently has the MT4G and SGS 4G for free if you do it online. One of the phones ends today, but the other one doesn't expire until Thursday. Won't work for upgrades, buy if you are adding a line for your kid, this is the way to go. Pull the trigger quick though.

Great Customer Service!
I went to a local store here in Fremont to get my first look at the Sensation and asked about the Father's Day special. A salesperson named Candice answered my questions and handed me a Sensation to play with. I asked for her business card and told her I would be back on Sunday, thinking that was the day of the promotion. I then went to find my wife and daughter at the Michael's craft store next door. About 15 minutes later, I run into Candice while shopping inside Michael's! She realized that I was mistaken about the day of the sale and actually ran next door to find me and tell me it was on Saturday!
I know that she probably gets a commission on phones that she sells, but I still think it was very kind of her to find me and tell me the correct date. Imagine if I had shown up on Sunday and was told that the promotion was the day before!
So to thank her for her kindness I am telling her story here on the forum in the hopes that some of you will buy a Sensation from her. Let's see if we can help her get the "Employee of the Month" award! I don't know if my credit will qualify for a two-year contract, but I intend to find out on Saturday! Wish me luck!
If any of you live in the Fremont, CA area and are planning on buying a Sensation, please go to the T-Mobile store at the corner of Mowry Ave & Fremont Blvd (store address 39172 Argonaut Way) and ask for Candice.
A little extra for you folks I found today over at fatwallet. After you get your phone head over to this link and follow the instructions to get a 125$ visa card if you are a NEW T-mo customer.
http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/1099398/
So 250-50 mir-50 sensation promo-120 fathers day-125 for switching to Tmo= they are paying you 95 bucks to get this phone on Fathers Day. I'd say that's a bit better than a free phone.
Nice, dude! Good lookin out, thanks for sharing.

Stumbled across this today. When I signed my contract with this phone back in April they were offering the same deal except ONLY 1GB of data. Now for the same price ($60/mo) you can have all calling features currently offered with the old $60 plan but also with 6GB of data! They're only offering it until August 8th, so act quick if you want to get in on this deal.
Do you know if this is compatible with family plans?

Updated my plan last night. No issues. 5GB extra for nothing, apparently!
I had this plan already but it was $10 more, so I switched it . It is an LTE plan. I also have half-price voicemail & call display from the promo they had a few months back
I had just switched to this plan as well. I had the old $30 6gb data plan but it didn't work on LTE.
Now we get 6gb of LTE data! Amazing!!
Tack on $7 mini call display and voicemail and I'm looking at $67 before tax. Not too shabby.

unlimited evening from 6 pm
mini voice mail ( 3 voice mails)
for 60
+ call display, call forward for 7
so 67 before tax
you can keep your bonus, but will lose all your discounts...
hope that helps
I'll be paying the 67$ for all of the below but I also have 20% discount still applied to the account plus a 5$ credit promo from my original signup 5yrs ago. Total 56.05$ I must say that this is a sweet deal.
Previously it was 78$ - the 20% - 5$ and I only had 1GB. Total vas 64.88$
I think it's a nice trade off.

I spoke to a rep who stated that tethering is not included.
Another rep told me that even though tethering was not included, I could still use wifi hotspot. (even though it's the same thing)
Regardless, as long as you're running a custom ROM you will never get charged for tethering.

Rogers doesn't charge for tethering, you're just required to have 1GB minimum in order to do it.
10 gb lte data
You guys missed the 10GB of LTE data option that they had a month ago. It was 50 dollar add on all you had to do was get a voice plan as well. I pay about $80 a month now and I really enjoy the 10 GB. I also have my 10, unlimited evenings and weekends, unlimited txts. I find complaining once and a while does wonders especially with rogers for some reason. Bell I never had any luck with but Rogers isn't bad.
Just called Rogers and switched to this awesome plan!
Hi fellows!
I’m about to fly to US and I’ll need a phone in there. BUT, being an Android user and an avid XDA reader, I know I should buy ONLY telephones that can have unlocked bootloader and at least a CM kang rom option. (once you leave a stock rom, there’s no going back!)
Well, it seems this Blaze 4G is the best phone I can get. Sure, it rom scene it’s still gearing up, but I have hopes it’ll get better by the end of the year – I have hopes we’ll get at least CyanogenMod support somewhere down the road.
So, my big question to you guys is: how much did you pay for your Blaze 4G on a Monthly4G plan?
Through T-mo website, there’s a good offer for me – 299 with a 50US card. BUT, I’m not sure I’ll be able to buy it from the web. Is this offer available in a brick and mortar store – WalMart, BestBuy, Target, anywhere else?
It’s really a simple question and I’m just trying to provision myself for this long trip.
=====
Well, thanks XDA fellows for all answers. I guess I have enough info for now.
I bought mine on Ebay. For my monthly 4G, I went to Walmart and bought on of those cheap flip phones, took the Sim card and activated the $30/mo plan which gives Unlimited Text, 100 voice minutes, and 5GB of 4G before you are throttled to 2G speeds.

I bought mine at t-mobile my plan is close to minimal with 500 minutes 2gbs of 4g then unlimited 3g after its used up and unlimited text. But i dont have insurance its practically useless when i can fix any software malfunction myself. I pay $73 and change a month for a single line i personally think thats expensive but all well.

Hi guys, I have a pay monthly sim which is from T-mobile and it will end in 4 Months and i am waiting for Samsung s4 release. Basically which network provider is better? I want to swap to Three because they have cheap and good plan for the S4.. What is your experience with this network provider? Do they have fast internet? are they better than T-mobile?
Hello
I am in the same situation. My contract runs out in 6 months, but i want the S4 as i do not like my One X. However to upgrade to EE will cost me £220 when you take into account the discounted termination fee and £100 for the phone. If i cancel and go to three i will only pay the early termination fee of £180.
I can sell my current phone for £140 and get £58 cash back. What is appealing about Three is that they offer unlimited internet for £1 less per month than EE.

I have sim only deal from T-mobile and it's pretty good deal but i want to jump to Three because they offer cheap Samsung S4 Deals. Also on their website it says they're the best network for internetting,
Was in the same situation here, opted to stay with T-Mobile.
Three are getting 4G at the end of the year which will be FREE so that's why I was looking at them, they have good 24-month deals also!
However, decided to stay with T-Mobile (3G only) as I usually always have a WiFi connection and 3G speeds for me are not too bad. The deal I got with T-Mobile was great too, found it on www.chitterchatter.co.uk and it totals to just £658 over the 18 month period! (300 mins, unlimited texts, 1GB internet - £31p/m. £149 phone but £50 cashback)
Check out that site if you're interested in T-Mobile contracts, the S4 deals are only staying like that during the pre-order period then they will up the prices once the phone is actually out. Sadly the £50 cashback has expired but I believe the £40 cashback for ordering off ChitterChatter is still valid - check QuidCo!
I have gone for Three. £35 a month with a free phone, unlimited data. I am not fussed about having 4g now, end of year will be fine.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
In terms of pricing, Three are probably better value though their service isn't bad by any means at all. Their internet speeds are pretty good and with free 4G in the works they'll probably keep improving and growing.
I've also gotten to know a few contacts from there so if anyone is looking for a deal just give me a message and I'll get them to contact you! :good:
The popular one people have been going for is the £35 a month plan with no upfront cost but my contact can give £30 credit and 2000 3-to-3 minutes in addition to this. Other phones available too...
I was going for the Xperia Z but I think I'll get the S4 now...
Three have been a very good network for me.
I have a one x currently
I have been with 02 orange and Vodafone before settling with 3.
I live in Kingston upon hull and with the other 3 providers i have never had download speeds over 0.5mbps
With three I generally always get >7mbps which was comparable to my home broadband speed until recently getting 200mb fibre.
I can't fault three at all
And with the upcoming free 4g it just keeps getting better
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
3UK The ONE Plan FTW! Very fast and truly unlimited internet (including tethering), plenty of minutes and texts, upcoming LTE in same price..... can't go wrong with it....
I'm moving my second contract from Orange to Three in June, getting S4 but keeping my S3 LTE as well
It depends on your location, signal is never great everywhere on any network so I'd suggest asking around or going into shops and testing.
Here in Bedfordshire and Milton Keynes the signal is better than any other network and my Download speeds are better than EE's that my friend has at work.

What is the current stance on Tmobile/Orange/EE in terms of getting deals from other sellers. Last time I checked (this was around 2011) T mobile capped people's internet bandwidth if they had gotten their contracts from places other than directly from T-mobile. It was this that pushed me to Three (Got a Galaxy S2 with the One Plan for £27 a month ) thanks to buymobilephones.net.
Hi Guys,
No matter which network you decide to go to, just haggle on the price with them.
I got 2 contracts in February from vodafone, i got a lumia 920 free on £27 and the iphone 5 32gb on a £27pm contract. The iphone did cost 150£.
The price of the phone will not change but you can really haggle the price of the contract down.
Three are quite good a dropping their prices, and if you cannot get a deal over the phone try call again another time.
Also orange/tmobile will be merging their masts in the near future, and they are the most complained about networks.

He had a look at mine and my partners accounts and has offered us an S4 in which ever colour I want to pick up two weeks on Saturday. Mint.
Oh and at the moment in sunny Middlesbrough I get on average 13-18meg download and 3meg upload when I do tests.
