I want to get my s6 right now. One thing I need to know real quick before I go get it.
I want either the Verizon or Sprint version as they're much cheaper than the other two full price. Now Verizon looks like they messed with the software and for rid of some stuff so I don't want theirs anymore though they are the cu cheapest.
With Sprint I need to know if fully paid version will it be unlocked, and will they support t mobile bands without a problem? I have simple mobile which runs on t mobile. I couldn't find an option to buy unlocked from t mobile and they're the most expensive so I'd rather go with Sprint.
Please if you know help because I really want to go and get it as soon as possible. Tia.

I know I shouldn't bump a thread except for once a day but I'm hoping to go get one in the next half hour so I'm hoping anyone can let me know as soon as possible please.
Edit: Well I'm about to go out and see. I think I'll just try it myself. I'll just buy one pop my sim in and if I have an issues I'll just return it same or next day.
Any thing to know specifically about the sprint version though? Are they generally good with updates and keep in things similar to normal experience? I usually buy Verizon and they're terrible at this always removing features and apps like the stock browser from the s6 and the one drive with 100 gb storage is also missing. Anything like that so 10th Sprint or has it all been good so far?

Well Sprint wanted 770$ before tax for the 64 gb s6. Verizon only wants 700$ for their 64 gb version. I'm just gonna get the Verizon one and hope the small missing things will be fixed with ports from other versions. I don't care too much about the one drive storage as I have unlimited amazon cloud storage but I do wish we could have the browser log in with the fingerprint.

hey guys, ive been here for over a year now and finally have decided to move on to another phone.
I read somewhere on the internet that VZW would let you downgrade your plan to 6gb a month and receive a subsidized priced phone. I inquired about this and was informed that this deal was only availble via the Edge program. I quickly said no thank you and moved on. Today I called back and explained why I didnt want the edge program and the rep agreed with me about my points about edge.
He was able to downgrade my plan to 6gb monthly for the same price. Ive never gone over 2gb and was wanting to keep my unlimited plan out of principle, not need.
So all in all I got my HTC one coming in sometime this week and Im really excited about it. I just thought Id share here

meh. it worked out for everyone IMO.
I'm going to buy an LG G2 today, it was nice being on the S3 but the lack of updates & no 4.2.2 touchwiz ROMS I have to get something up to date. The G2 is the best phone out besides the Galaxy Note 3, so I want that.

I'd probably consider doing the same if I didn't use my LTE to supplement my home internet at times. For some odd reason 12Mb down and 1Mb up isn't good enough for a decent Skype video call... It's horrendous. I find myself tethering my LTE for this. I don't go crazy overboard like some people, but I do go over 6GB.
Grats on getting the Max promo without participating in the stupid edge ripoff.

Well i need my unlimited since i use 30 GBs a month. Ill be buying my htc one max on tje original device payment plan.. Not the EDGE RIPOFF

I'll be getting a galaxy note 3 in December as my Christmas present to myself I won't be dealing with Verizon's bull and I'll be keeping my unlimited. I use about 4 gig a month at work due to ****ty internet my boss refuses to get rid of despite customers and employees complaints.
They didn't really do you a favor. They are doing amazing things now to get people off unlimited. Glad it worked for you and if anything we can learn from this is that even Verizon is willing to negotiate... especially when you're giving up unlimited data
Like many, it seems like if I stay on Verizon there will be no way of getting the Nexus 5 to work (we'll see for sure in the near future). But my question is, should I leave Verizon for the Nexus 5, or stay and get the LG G2? I'd have to sell my current Note 2 and still end up paying some money for the G2, but if I left Verizon I could get the N5 on T-Mobile or Sprint. I just want a few opinions.
What do you think guys?
Thanks in advance guys.

I've got the VZW G2 and love it. It's awesome. It's running carbon 4.3. Here's my review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CW8b6BXDR0&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I'll have the N5 tomorrow and will be doing a comparison. Look to the general forums in the VZW G2 section for the link. Or my YouTube page is crooke356. Either way, the G2 really is an awesome phone.

Thanks for the reply man, I like your videos. Definitely pop in the Verizon sim and tell us what happens. The only two things I don't like about the G2 are the hypergloss finish on the back, and the Verizon branding on the front. I just love pure android, hence the want for the N5. If I do get the G2, I'll definitely be on the lookout for your Development. I may be getting into some dev work as well. Thanks again.

First off, sorry if I may have mislead but none at that is my Dev work. That was carbon ported to the G2 by oblikas. I was just showing their work off.
I agree on the branding and glossy back. Crummy. But to be honest, not something I notice anymore. That being said, I need VZW. For their coverage and my unlimited data. If coverage and data (grandfathered unlimited) don't concern/apply to you, pull the trigger on the N5.

If you are going to leave VZW for the N5 I understand how you feel. I left sprint for the N4 and went to TMO. If you live, work and play in an area where tmo has good coverage then I say why not make the switch? If you dont have good tmo coverage and want a N5 I would recommend you try AIO wireless. They are an AT&T MVNO and give you unlimited talk, text and data (your speed is slowed down after 7gb) and thats only $70. Its a pretty good deal because you get att service but dont have to pay the crazy att prices and there is no contract.
Good Luck!

Ah, I saw your video where you mentioned getting the Moto X Developer edition, so I made an incorrect assumption.
Man this sucks so hard. I was hoping to switch from Verizon to T-mobile but the service at home for me is not going to cut it. Is anyone else in the same boat as me? I'm looking at the Moto X dev edition and the G2, not sure which one will be the best choice after giving up my N5
I like the G2 but I think I would get more out of the Moto X. Would have to play with both side by side to make a final choice though.
sure you can't try AT&T? hate to see you not be able to use such a good phone because of the service. probably be seeing close to the same prices if you go with Verizon.
Use pre paid plan on go phone I belive it's called. Try for 1 month. I think it's $30?? This is for att

I would get the Note 3 if you can handle the size, I played around with it a little at Best Buy and fell in love. I'm on Verizon so I never had the opportunity to get the Nexus 5, so I will be getting the Note 3 later this week. I might sell it when Google's Verizon project comes out next year, depending what the specs are and how much I like the Note 3.
Keep in mind they do have a Note 3 developer edition.
And if you decide the Note 3 is too big for you, I'd get the G2.
Moto X all the way.
Yeah the only reason I'll stick with Verizon is because I have the unlimited $30 data. :'(

Why not use AT&T's AIO service?

That is if they'll let you keep it if you upgrade your phone. Been hearing they've been basically trying to force people off the unlimited plans in such a way.
If by "home" you mean your actual house, why not just keep your baby and get better signal?
Have you looked into cellular boosters?
Buying straight from a store is probably going to eat your pockets out and then some, so I would suggest using eBay.
I run AT&T and have horrid service at home, but luckily AT&T has a "Microcell" cell booster that I paid maybe $99 for, but I get full bars everywhere in my house. Well worth it.
Here's one for T-Mobile I found on eBay ending in 2 days as of this reply.

I'd hate to see you have to give up your N5, honestly...
I have a similar problem.
Tried Tmobile, no service
Tried Straight Talk, no service
Verizon isn't compatible
Page Plus won't work wither
I'm gonna try out AT&T but IDK if that will work either
I live in a rural area, and it seems like Verizon would be the best carrier for me.
I looked up a Tmobile booster but the prices are ridiculous and I saw a topic earlier where someone bought one but it wasn't working properly with their Nexus 5. I love my Nexus 5 and don't want to give it up, but I might not have a choice.
As a t mo subscriber for 2+ years its terrible anywhere rural. Had ATT Sprint and Verizon prior. Only Verizon was strong in NH. ATT was second and sprint and T mo are on par with each other. Hence the cheap plans. Thankfully I live not in a rural area anymore in terms of service.
That being said its terrible Verizon opted out not being part of the N5.
Would suggest trying ATT and if that fails if you have the cash get an S4 or HTC One. My HTC One had Sim issue and since I had cracked screen no warranty help so now I have a N5.
Since Verizon doesn't use Sim card...? Maybe HTC one is best for you then use a ROM to get 4.4.
The boom sound and the screen is best in the biz IMHO.

Hopefully I can get better service with AT&T. I guess I could possibly look into buying the microcell booster.

Did you get your microcell from the store, or from another seller online?
I'm jumping from Verizon to T-Mobile next week after our contract expires and my wife thinks the S5 and G3 are too big so she'd like a G2. But - the local T-Mobile store says they don't have any anymore. Where's the best place to get a new G2 that will work on T-Mobile? I need WIFI calling working which I think means that buying an AT&T version is out.
Thanks for any ideas...
Ted
I don't think any physical stores carry them anymore, I had to order mine from the T-mobile website. They should still have them there. Great phone too, love mine.
Just an FYI for anyone reading this: the T-Mobile web site says the G2 is out of stock but it isn't. A friend from work called them and got a G2 for a great price (around $240) so they may still be available even if the website says otherwise.
I just bought mine a week ago. They only had black, but that was cool with me

Whats going on guys?
So with me finally breaking off my family plan with my mom, im getting my own carrier and account. with that i'm planning on getting the M9. Currently i have Verizon, which i dont mind, however, ill be switching carriers i was thinking sprint because as of current deals by me, they will offer to pay the verizon cancellation fees. idk about AT&T if they will do the same, i was gonna price all 3 of them out. anywoot, my main question is this: How is the service with Sprint and AT&T? After i graduate High school, im enlisted with the military which means ill be traveling around a lot. i have no idea where ill be getting stationed at all, but i wanted to make sure i would have service. The M9 is going to be both a phone and a computer for me for a while and i dont want to have to rely on just Wifi. my other question was, if i get stationed out of the US, how would i still be able to use the phone besides wifi?
anyone?
I just switched to Verizon after 4 years with Sprint, it's like a whole new world. I'd never go back, the data is too slow

That's what I thought. I was on AT&T for a while and when I switched to Verizon it was much much faster.
How about Tmobile serviceand coverage?
this really isn't a device discussion....
That said, it really depends on your area.
