Tmobile certainly thinks so

I'm not sure if it would financially make sense especially since you have to turn in your phones and buy new phone.

If you are planning to switch, you'll end up saving a ton of money. It's a great option to have. Tmobile making big, smart moves, plus John Legere crashed at&t's party at CES. He's hilarious.

My concern is if I move my five lines which I pay $200 now will rise in cost because I would either have to pay for five phones outright or finance them which will add at least another $100 to a bill that would be about $160 before taxes.

Why do you people have so many lines?

I have 3, because there are 3 of us.

Nexus 5 is $0 down/$16.50 month right now, so $82.50 a month in top of existing plan (but you'd get 5 Nexus 5's!).

Everyone may not want the Nexus 5. That can be an issue. Especially with my wife. Lol.
Sent from my XT1058 using xda app-developers app

It was just an example, there are other $0 down phones, too (and you can expect some deals may pop up for Valentine's day).
My wife wouldn't want a nexus, either. She's addicted to qwerty.
However, I don't see any reasonable qwerty phones out there, since the Galaxy Relay 4G (which she has now).

My wife is addicted to the iPhone. I just don't want to pay more than what I'm paying right now. If I can stay at that $200 price, I'm all in.

Yeah, if you wait until the end of your contract, you can carry over any compatible devices. It might be the better option.
Who are you with now? Just for fun I checked on Verizon and for slightly less data, they want $300/month for 5 lines.

[Q] Budget out of contract T-Mobile phone

My friend is on T-Mobile (for some reason) and just broke his rather old non-smartphone. He's looking for a new phone, and decided to take the jump to droid. He's looking to spend 50-100 dollars max and just wants a working device with a good dev community. Suggestions?
The s2 i think is around 100-150 and its a great phone.

Out of his budget though, we're looking for 100 as an ABSOLUTE max.
It might be 100. Or free with a contract.

Right. Ok well he is going to have a hard time with that. He MIGHT be able to find a G2 or a MyTouch 4G for around a hundred if he can talk someone down. But in all likelihood he'll be looking at a low end or very old model like a Comet, G1 or Cliq.

S3 still the best on verizon market?

Hey I have a chance to get a phone on contract and switch it to my unlimited plan on Verizon. I have an s3. Is this the best on verizon. My friend for some reason has really bad credit but has a chance to get new lines with new contract price. Then he is just not going to pay. Now this isn't something I would do but he did offered me a chance to get any phone I want for cheap price. Should I keep my s3 or just get a different phone and sell it.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Do you like the Note 2? I'd get that if I had the chance. If you want to wait a few months then we may see the GS4. The best phone currently announced is Xperia Z which who knows will ever come to VZW.
I do like the note 2 but it is pretty big. Is that the best phone to get

Its really a matter of preference in screen size. And the fact the note has a quad core. I would wait and get the galaxy 4 when it comes out. I love my 3

Try craigslist. You can often get better prices on ebay even after the fees, if you are lucky.

S3 is my baby. Love the thing. But if the Note 2 was out when I upgraded, I may have gone with that. They're so close on about everything except screen size. Like it was stated above, personal preference.

That's dirty, man.
yeah when you said "for some reason" your friend has bad credit.... Doing stuff like this is the reason. It's also why lots of people who are just joining verizon pay a $300 deductible for service. That being said, my gf has the SIII, and I'm still rockin' the GNEX running ParanoidAndroid. I'm upgrading my work phone and going with either the Note2 or the DNA. I think you'd get a better re-sale price for either of these 2 phones than for the SIII if that's what you're looking for.
Tell your friend I said thanks for doing his part to make my service more expensive.

Honestly you should blame the verizon reps. We went today and he was 250 past due. Usually they don't open new lines. He was going to pay it but the rep said its Ok I have a way around it so you can pay later. I was on the side like WHAT. What would you do. So not to a note 2 at 350? Instead of full retail? I ended get the note 2 for my gf which it is pretty cool.

Ya have you heard the rumored size of the note3. It's going to be 6.5 inches. I think the 5.5 is pushing it. I held the note 2 is not to bad but anything bigger than that is pointless to me unless you are on bluetooth headset all day for calls. The battery has to be humongous to power that bad boy.

T-Mobile or Verizon?

I would just like to get some feedback from T-Mobile users if they like the service they get. I'm currently with Verizon and just hate it. My wife and I are still under contract for about another year or so and I'm thinking of just paying the early termination fee and switching. Now I now coverage will vary depending on where you live but just want an overall view on your experiences with T-Mobile. Thanks

I left Verizon for TMO about 6 months ago. I'm definitely not Dissatisfied but it's definitely not an easy adjustment from LTE to HSPA+... Outside of the data speeds, I haven't hit a dead spot or dropped a call yet. YMMV.

Verizon reliability and speed are great. But their Bloatware sucks and you can't remove it completely.
Tmo is very reasonable if you live in city. In rural areas you'll have problems. Speed is decent and phones don't have all the security bloatware like Vzw.
If you travel for business use Vzw. If you rarely leave town then its personal choice really

Thanks everyone. I don't travel so I'm probably going to get T-Mobile. I like that its cheaper and they don't lock their phones down. The only decision left to make is should I wait or buy my way out? Guess I'll have to see how much it costs.

Short lived life for my nexus 5

I have had a bad experience with T-Mobile witch is causing me to sell my nexus 5 . since I have a grand father plan unlimited data T-Mobile said they don't support my nexus 5 until I change my plan to a new one with throttles. As much as I love her its up for sale. 32gb nexus 5 . just thought I'll share ..why is T-Mobile doing this !!!
Sent from my LG-G2 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
FYI, I read a while ago that tmo plans to move every one off of those plans and "bring them into current pricing." Might be worth keeping the phone and just changing to a current plan. You can still get unlimited w/no throttling. I have unlimited every thing for $70 w/ no contract and I don't think anything is throttled. You would have to do it at some point, might as well look at what will work for you. Good luck!

T-Mobile still has unlimited data without throttling, why not go with that?

How much are you selling it for?:silly:
How would T-Mobile even know what phone you are using? I mean obviously it will show on the network but I highly doubt they are flagging nexus 5 phones and making sure only some people are using them.
