From Straight Talk AT&T to Go Phone LTE..... - General Topics

If you plan on doing it, DO IT!! In case you don't know, AT&T Go Phone is their prepaid services and they introduced new plans that offer LTE back on June 21. I just did less than an hour ago and boy does it feel great. All of our phones are data driven and it is important to have good data speeds otherwise your experience can be ruined, waiting for stuff to load. Everything is lightning fast, even sending text messages is pretty much instant vs before there was a slight delay. I recommend anyone who has the straight talk AT&T to move on to the Go Phone AT&T LTE. It's only 60$ a month plus tax so let's round it up at 65$. That's less than 20 bucks a month from straight talk but with up to 10 times the speed (and I'm not exaggerating) . Here's a sample:

65USD a month?! Who the bloody hell are you, Bill Gates?
My god, and I though 25 Euro a month (33USD) was expensive....
Dear T-Mobile, I take it all back, please don't start using American prices...

Unfortunately 60-65 is good in the US. And that's only for 2gb of data @LTE speeds.
I am on Att and between 2 lines with only 4gb of lte unlimited everything else I pay $146.00 that's after a 20% employer discount.
Being bent over is normal these days.

Whoa
We(I) pay 25 euro's a month for 2GB 14.4mbps 3g, with free LTE when they finish rolling out the network in a month or 4.
SimOmly, though. I would rather use a dumb phone than that branded crap. I'll buy my phone myself, cheers... It saves me 300 euros! (700 @Tmobile, 420 mediamarkt germany...)
With phone is 35 a month. 1 or 2 years makes no difference in price.

Exactly. This is the US and 65$ is a good deal. When I was using the first iPhone, iPhone 3g and 3gsm, my monthly bill was never less than 135$ a month....

For $70 you can just go unlimited everything with uncapped data and LTE on T-Mobile.... That's $5 more for an extra unlimited gigs
Edit: fail, I have no idea why I said extra 3 gigs originally

Wow this thread is old. I was using Straight talk 45 a month, LTE speeds. 5gb a month unlimited everything else. In the beginning it worked great, however, it turned into a horrible experience. I was with them for almost 4 years without any issue. Here's what happened........I was about half way through my month, When I noticed my data speeds were horribly slow! So bad I couldn't watch a video, and browsing the Web took like 10 minutes to load a website page!
So I called Straight talk 1800 number, which by the way is a whole different discussion. Lol. I was told I went over my data limit. I asked if I bought another 45 card would my data b reinstated, he said yes, so I bought it and added it. I noticed my speeds were still horrid! Well this went on for over a week, I called back and they said everything was fine on their end lol. So I decided to buy another Sim card and another 45 card. The second I switched Sims and added the 45 dollar card with a new phone number, my speeds magicly came back! So what happens is when someone watches a lot of videos, and uses all their data, straight talk sees that and throttles you forever!
I decided to switch to go phone ATT prepaid service. It's 10 bucks more a month, but they don't drop u to 1x speeds when u run out of data, they drop it to 3g. And I now have the option to add as many gigs of LTE I want at 10 bucks a gig. This is the way to go! Screw Straight talk! 4 years I was with them and they acted like I wasn't with them at all! Anyways I hope this post helps other people to leave Straight talk! They are garbage! Never again!

Battery life on edge - outstanding

I am in roaming n didn't opt for the 3g plan, technically leaving me on edge all through.
Attaching below, I want to show how awesome the battery life is on edge. Hopefully this will give more reasons for our devs to work on enabling 2g/3g toggle in roms.
2.5 days standby with ~1 hour display n ~40 mins calls, battery is at 51%.
Standby drain is at 1% per ~3 hours. Compare this to 1% per hour when on 3g/h in US.

definitely impressive - i can't say it's surprising... you never use the thing! 1 hour of display time and less than 1 hour of call time in ~2.5 days - it probably feels neglected. i would keep a leash on it so it doesn't try to run away.

The point here was abt the standby drain in edge, esp for users in travel like me who don't use data 24/7 n use only in intervals. Plus this is with frequent times in areas with low signal.
More importantly, an hour of calls now takes abt 6-7% battery, compared to 10-12% when on H.

Just curious, what do you mean you didn't get the '3G' plan? I wasn't aware there was such a plan and either way, AT&T doesn't allow the toggling of WCDMA/Edge manually, even with root access on current US based builds or with the star codes
Even though you're in a roaming zone, it's still scanning WCDMA bands unless you did something

Nice one U see, I am in India now on vacation. I can opt for 3G at a slightly higher cost, or stick to edge. Since its only mails n xda stuff mainly, I decided not to take the 3g plans.
By the way, I am on prepaid n paying $1 and 20 cents for a 1 GB plan with 15 days validity. 2GB plan with 30 days validity is abt $2 and 20 cents. Saying this just for sake of cost comparision. I think 3g plans for the same are about $1 more than those on edge.

Att to throttle top 5% data consumers October.

Wow what will they do next?
Edit: UPDATE (another page found)
http://myona.com/2011/08/01/att-will-throttle-your-unlimited-data-plan/
by the looks of my data usage im guessing that i will be one of the few that gets throttled
anyone else?
I'd be all in favor of this under the following stipulations:
1. You don't go from full speed to EDGE in one shot. 25% increments or something.
2. You are given fair and ample warning at all stages and before each tier drop
3. They bring back the $30 unlimited plan
Well I'm in the 30 dollar unlimited plan.and I say no. I payed for it, and I should have it all not some of it.

Wow! You sure have changed your mind on data, power users, and unlimited. Haha welcome to the dark side.
-Figured i needed a signature for my phone. This is it......
I think this is just AT&T wanting you to change data plans so they don't have to have unlimited stuff anymore. Just another way to gouge us with fees.
Yeah well at that rate I prolly will have to.I can't stand any slower speeds than I have now, and then they wanna make it slower...well good job att.guess you win again.I know that 30 unlimited is prolly overpriced...but then you say " hey I got unlimited so its worth it" not the case anymore.

This month is gonna be close (6 more days and at 1800MB). After that I'll loophole myself into unlimited and stop caring.
Where do you get those charts from?
Hell Yeah I love having my bandwidth throttled, yes!
I wouldn't mind a throttle if it was getting throttled faster.

I think they are doing this so we don't rape their LTE network when it's launched. Regardless it's still lame on att's part. It would also be nice if they at least gave us a ballpark of what the top 5 percent are consuming.

Used 5.7gb the first month I had unlimited, with 5 days left in this billing cycle, I'm up to 7.5gb! Netflixin a movie right now!
Is att unlimited or "unlimited"? My first att phone was an iPhone 2nd Gen. I got grandfathered into the unlimited plan when I got my captivate.
I was not worried about it before but now I have Netflix on the go. Its starting to guzzle bandwidth.

At the moment I'm on throttle thanks to T-Mobile, I have the 5gb data and once you pass that your data gets throttle to 2g, but personally I believe is slower than 2g. Takes for ever to load a Facebook page, Pandora and YouTube are useless. But anyway I have two more days of this throttle speeds then back to normal.

Well then you should have unlimited data now. You screwed yourself by not getting unlimited data when it was available.
I am a 9 year T-Mobile subscriber and have unlimited data (120$ two phones). Every time I talk to T-Mobile they try to give me a 3rd line for same price I pay for two lines now but catch is to go to 5gb limit. I tell them no way I am giving up my unlimited plan! LOL

Liking it so far and no complaints as of yet... also I can report speeds of about 7Mbps downloads and almost 2Mbps.
I will be reporting back soon with my experiences. If you are on straight talk let me know how you like it.

HOME is like "at&t powered network" or " ST SIM working on at&t towers" ...

I have been on ST for AT&T for 25 days now. I know exactly how many because I've already used 2.49 GB this month and I'm worried I'll get kicked. I can say that the service is good, and I love the freedom of not being tied to a contract (and I'm paying less than a lot of postpaid wireless subscribers to boot).
I was on Tmobile's $30 5 gig walmart plan but I was not able to get the Tmobile radios working on the i727 properly. I'm using the UCLF5 radio now for AT&T and I generally get between 2 and 4 mbit down.
been on straight talk for about a year now, before they offered BYOD, had to buy a phone and pull the sim out. i regularly do about 1.5-3.0 gig a month and have never received any type of notification or ever been throttled.
Never put in the proxy, no need to.
Here was a post i did with my current settings on sky ice 4.2f3

Google voice & straight talk & att mvno
I recently been trying out different att MVNO's. I tried used H20 Wireless and un-successfully never got conditional call forwarding to work. I read different articles and came to the conclusion that I would never get conditional call forwarding to work on any prepaid. However I wanted to try a different one and see. I said Straight Talk is cheaper so what the hell. I tried and it works perfectly. I just thought I would pass that along. Also running stock and latest build UCLF6.
Anyone on Straight Talk having issues with "Speed Test" and just that Apk download? I get between .5 - 2 m upload. Download will either say network issues or get 9 k.
Fix: I got everything to work by removing the proxy.mvno.tracfone.com

I just go to Walmart and buy the sim? 45 a month sounds like a winner to me.
Didn't know what I was going to do until I seen this thread. Now I have an option. Thanks.
You have to order the sim from straight talk website....once u do that u can buy the refill cards from wal mart...

i dont have insurance. cuz i dont have a contract .. can i purchase insurance from them even tho i dont have a contract
Well there aren't contracts with tmobile anymore. Call an ask then wait a month and try it out. Totally worth having a new phone with jellybean and super light

So I just call t-mobile and complain? I'd like more details, please!

T-mobile no longer has the G2x in stock. For a warranty exchange ($5) you can swap it (say how crappy our phone really is) and you get a new phone with jellybean!

I got this phone the day it came out. I highly doubt this thing still has a warranty on it.
Yeah just say your phone randomly reboots and that you already did a master reset. Its not lying since the g2x sucks nuts. I'm loving my L9

I did too! You have to have the premium protection on it. The insurance has a warranty and a full headset replacement. A deductible of $5 vs one of $150

Thanks, I will try that for my son's line.

So you guys think that if I add the $7.99 premium protection on my prepaid $30 plan I could ask for a replacement for my old G2X?

If you find that would work I would build a statue of your likeness in my backyard because you would be my hero.

According to the Tmo website you have to add insurance within 15 days of purchase.

Apparently just tell them that you keep getting random reboots and a bunch of other performance errors/glitches: invalid sim, data drops, mms problems, dropped calls etc. Make it up lol

I'm tempted to do something just the same, except there is no way I would do another LG maintained device like the L9. I would however, If Tmo was willing upgrade to the Nexus 4. S4 would be best IMO buy I doubt they would be willing for that kind of replacement.
just FYI: I've had this phone since June 11th 2011 and have had the insurance on since my previous phone.
Trust me, its worth the $5 for the L9

I actually just got the L9 when upgrading my line. I didn't really need a super high end device and because I was a loyal customer my bill is now 10 dollars cheaper. I did the zero down 10 dollar a month purchase option but t mobile gave me 20 dollars off my bill so it is now cheaper even after the upgrade.
My question is I didn't realize till after I bought it that articles wetter all over that it's no longer getting jelly bean updates? Can you confirm it has jelly bean?

I have jellybean on it. You can upgrade It directly from lg with their software update tool
Those articles are outdated!
