My friend (obviously not me...) has a question about canceling service on T-mobile.
She got into T-Mobile network few months ago and she was using a phone from Korea.
And she is trying to change her phone and carrier.
She is currently on T-mobile right now and she wants to switch to Verizon Wireless.
Her question was, is there any fee that she have to pay for if she is canceling service on T-Mobile?

Hello everyone,
I'm currently in Canada and I would like to bring my Galaxy S II (in 3-year contract with Bell Canada) with me to China. I had an online chat with a sales rep about what I need to do to have it working in China without paying for roaming. She told me that I need to unlock my phone for $75 in order to get rid of the International restrictions that comes with any new customer's plan. I thought a phone has to be unlocked in order to take foreign sim cards. However, from my understanding of the sales rep's explanation, I CAN use my phone with a foreign SIM card with no problem, but I need to pay roaming afterwards. So what do I have to actually unlock in order to have my phone working in China (with local a sim card) without having to pay roaming?
Thanks.
I am very happy with my Net10 service, but I have the opportunity to go onto my company's corporate phone plan. Figuring it would be one less bill to pay every month, I went for it, but they are telling me I can't port my MVNO number (which was ported from my old Verizon contract last year) to a new contract.
I don't want to do it if I can't keep my phone number. There has to be a way?
I have a dumb question. I've been in fed prison since the smart phone epidemic and have no idea what smart phone to buy. what is the best smart phone out there? And cell phone provider? After some little research, (I am just learning how to us the internet) and some advice from some computer savvy friends I am thinking about getting the lg g2 from amazon. Its an lg g2 801 international unlocked. I have been told, getting an unlocked international will enable me to use any service provider. Is this true? I am in an area that Verizon, at&t and walmarts straight talk are the only providers and would like a phone I can use with who I choose, when I choose. All I would have to do is buy a sim card from the provider I choose, right? To many choices...... and I know nothing about this world. I will pay for the phone upfront. Help.
Hello bjroyce the phone you are looking at is a nice phone to start off with the lg g2 international will work with any carrier including the ones you listed. At&t has great coverage has a 2yr contract which means you will be locked into a 2 year agreement with them they also have a prepaid account which is you pay for the data plan you choose and cancel when you want no contract need at&t prepaid sims can be found at at&t and many other stores. Verizon also has great coverage and has a contract agreement and a pay as you option which sim cards can be found in Verizon stores or in most stores. Walmart straight talk use at&t or verzion network which is a pay as you also know as prepaid account straight talk sims use at&t or Verizon or T-Mobile network based on the sim number on the sim card which sim cards can be found online or in stores. you will aslo need a nano sim card for the lg g2 d801 international phone.
Good choice!
If I would buy a AT&T cellphone and had it activated with Straight Talk, would I get the same service as if I were to buy a T-Mobile phone and had it activated with Straight Talk?
I was under the impression that I would be using different cell phone towers if I was to activate phones from different service providers.
I get good service with an AT&T phone (on my old phone), but T-Mobile phones aren't locked down like the AT&T phones, so I'd rather go with a T-Mobile phone (on my new phone) since it takes a regular root. Thanks for your help.

I need an emergency backup phone today as my old phone died. I am traveling and staying in a small town and am able to buy a Samsung J1 for $50 at a local Wal-Mart. I heard it was decent for the price. The catch is it is a boxed Verizon prepaid phone.
I am currently on Verizon unlimited subscription plan. I thought maybe I could take my sim from my old phone and put it in the prepaid phone and presto it would work. I still wanted to make sure before I spent $50.
I got online and several people on a couple different forums said that you can't just place your old sim in and if you do the phone is hotlined and locked immediately by Verizon
.
They said you have to pay $30 prepaid fee for 1st month and then phone IMMEDIATELY unlocks and you can use it on your regular subscription plan with your old phones sim.
The Verizon rep at 1-800 and at the local store told me yes you have to pay for the first month but also WAIT 30 DAYS before it is able to use (on your regular plan).
Which is it?

I'd go with what the Verizon rep said, waiting 30 days sounds right to me.
