Who is thinking about switching to the T mobile etf trade in program. I heard you can trade in any phone, working or not. I hope the galaxy s5 comes out in March and the program lasts till then. Suck it Afee&fee :p

Bye? Anyways I hope you got good Tmo coverage. I have not been throttled at all as of yet but I don't use all that much data either.

Are you on an unlimited plan? If not you don't get throttled because they just charge you for overages. Unlimited customers get throttled after 5 GB.

Cool? My lte coverage is awesome. Tmo is good in most places out here but spotty at my house and neighborhood in general so no thanks. Not much of a savings vs my current plan

The main reason i'm leaving afee&fee is because of their throttling. I can go through 5gb in a couple days at work. No wifi at work :(. Then i'll be throttled for over 3 weeks, which is painfull.

Does the wifi calling work well? I had a home phone over the internet and it sucked.

Yep. At home I can make / recieve calls.. Texts.. And MMS without issue. Then when I leave it just jumps back to cellular.

I left AT&T today for T-mobile
Tmob Service in my area is great LTE screams fast , 70.00 unlimited everything and no more locked down android bootloaders is a major plus.
Wifi calling works fantastic on my LG G2

I'll have to look into that. Thanks

It is different than most of those other wifi ones because you just simply connect to T-Mobile's backhaul directly.. And their backhaul isn't lacking so... It works beautifully :).

I am on their unlimited data plan and the few times I went over the 5GB threshold ( I did it on purpose watching youtube videos since I typically only use about 1-2GB a month personally and never got throttled .

True... But only the nexus and iPhone are the phones that can't.. All others can :).

I have an Nexus 5 and from my past history my reception in my house sucks with T-Mobile and I would have no reason to go to them ( this was back with a 2G phone in 2009 / early 2010 when I left)

And that's fine. I was just stating a way to solve it for most people if their house was the only issue. If AT&T works for you keep em.. Carriers are highly dependent on location and a person's needs..
There is no one carrier that is best for everyone :).

But also you obviously do have a reason to got T-Mobile.. Money. As you started a thread in the T-Mobile sections :).

When I think about it I might very well take a low mobile share data plane with AT&T or maybe straight talk but eh haven't decided it but AT&T is perfectly fine and even living in NYC I don't see issues with them :p
