Hello and I am a bit embarassed posting here
I have been a pretty hardcore gamer more than half my life now, but recently the house I am living at is sold and the new house has no access to cable internet or DSL. The only option was Satellite which is pretty terrible.
Someone was telling me don't buy the hot spot gear but to use a tethering app (easytether). They said that it won't use my mobile phone data? So I am wondering if this is true or not because I am seriously contemplating not moving to the new location even though it is a beautiful area, I cannot live without my games. :crying:
Any insight on this would be great. Every company i've looked at does not offer an " unlimited" data plan. I currently am using the new google Project FI with the Nexus 5x device.

[pointless boring intro, feel free to ignore]
Hello everyone, I have been following this site for a while, and I recently made an account so I could give feedback while I beta tested some ROMs. Well I can't post in the developer section yet so I thought I would ask a question or two.
[question]
So I searched the forums (I tried to be thorough but I am on the app so I may have missed the answer to this) and after being unable to find my answer I come to you community!
Does anyone know of a way to get a Samsung Epic 4G to work on Virgin Mobile? I saw some small discussions but nothing concrete.
I am curious because I have Sprint on my dad's plan (for I am but a poor college boy), and he sometimes forgets to pay the bill. I would like to get my own plan, but can't afford more than Virgin Mobile's $25 plan, but I love my Epic and VM is lacking the high end devices I crave.
So if anyone has any information on this, I would appreciate it. A tutorial would be nice, but I also want to learn, so even if a feasible means is not available, perhaps an explanation of why not is available. Also, if this is possible, what would I stand to lose if I did this?
Thank you for any future help.

Are you using me to raise your post count? An epic is a CDMA phone, it doesn't have a Sim card. Anyone ACTUALLY know what they are talking about?

so I finally got around to doing this - never owned a cell phone - though I've used them a few times and now I'm looking for something that will allow me to connect to wifi at any hot spot (quick & easy) have the features I need (browser) to log into to password protected wifi system - mostly for skype - and look up locations, phone numbers, perhaps check e-mail - absolutely nothing fancy, gimmicky or with the intention to impress.
would like a good product, built to last, at the most affordable price.
simplicity simplicity simplicity
I'm sure there are tons of other questions I could ask, but all I really need is something that will allow me to use skype via wifi, everything else is a plus.
suggestions?
thank you
Samsung Nexus S 4g, Sprint
Stock Android, unlimited data, no bs.
I would suggest an htc but they are gimmicky
Note: this post assumes you are USA and would want Android. You may choose iphone if you get it on Sprint, they are very simple and do their thing.
Conclusion: Sprint = best carrier USA, iOS or stock Android are the most simple UI's

I don't need a carrier, just has to have wifi capability
thanks

Teenage son is looking for a mobile phone and looking for one specifically without internet access , looking to spend around £100-£150 .
Been looking at loads but all have internet access so is there a good way of blocking it ?
Not really, if you're thinking of buying the smartphone.

hi. am new to both xda & cellphones. have had a casual interest since 1st one i bought a few yrs ago but have never really dug deep. recently, as a means to supplement my income i started buying & selling some phones. thot i knew a little about them! lol well, because i don't like getting ripped off & would never want that to happen to someone else that buys one of my phones, i quickly learned theres a WHOLE lot more to know than i ever imagined! so i started reading everything i could find online to help me. thats why im here. recently purchased cdma ws to be able to unlock & flash phones as an additional service & as another way to supplement my income & my goal is to eventually have my own store that does it all, from providing carrier service to repairs & everything in between. the problem is i dont have much of a computer or technical background & am virtually clueless when opening up cdma ws. i have looked at several youtube videos on the topic but that takes a huge amount of time weeding out the bad ones. also, i have a couple different phones that i've played around with on the software(cdma ws) in an attempt to figure it out with mixed results. two phones in particular im working with are a samsung galaxy s4 us cellular & an htc droid dna verizon. the s4 i purchased off swappa's boneyard advertised as a bad esn. did so with the intention to sell as is and while waiting i figured i'd try to repair esn. come to find out after having run esn on swappa(comes back whitelisted), ting(says only "can't be activated on their network), and checkesnfree website where also comes back whitelisted. have called u.s. cellular and i somewhat remember them saying that previous acct holder owed balance. they had to dig for that info. been a couple wks since conversation. the htc is clean, never activated, never used. would like to flash both phones. the s4 to boost & the htc to pageplus but not definite on either. any and all help would be greatly appreciated. dont mind just getting "clues" or hints as i really enjoy trying to figure it out on my own. thanks in advance!

Hello Guys,
Code:
I have a query and I'm not sure whether this is the correct forum section to post it or I should say I'm not even sure whether xda is the right forums to post this query. So guys please direct me to the correct forums if necessary. I apologies for any inconvenience caused in advance !
I'm thinking of getting JioFi. Or something very similar(cheap/reasonable). Does anyone have experience in this case ?
Is there any good competition for JioFi from other carriers like !dea,Vodafone,Airtel,Tata or others ? (Google wont give me much on this one)
I've been searching JioFi for last 2 days, and discovered that there are multiple versions of it like JioFi 1, JioFi 2 and so on, things got really confusing..
From my experience, !dea SIM had pretty stable connection and speed, even the worldwide pings were optimal ! (but it WAS costly)
All I need is just a decent internet connection at the most reasonable price.
Would getting a cheap WiFi hot spot dongle separately be a better thing to do ?
with a SIM of my choice separately (probably Jio or !dea) with reasonable 3 months plans.
Thanks.
Hello, Ik i'm digging out super old thread.
I think you already purchased JioFi but in my opinion unlocked router is best for our indians as there is heavy load on network providers which results poor signal and slow speed in our area.
