    Is Tmo's 700MHz LTE only for cellular data?

    Up thread there is reference Motorola disabling b12 (assuming Moto g) because it's not voLTE capable. Keep in mind this stuff is all above my head, but as a layperson making a casual remark, you would think Motorola would have kept the b12 enabled on the Moto g (2015) if it could still pull in...

    Is Tmo's 700MHz LTE only for cellular data?

    Does this mean only TMO branded phones, (and b12 compatible; and voLTE capable) can do voLTE on 700 MHz where 700 MHz has been deployed? Additionally, what about non TMO branded phones that have the b12 antenna? I believe the Alcatel Idol 3 has b12 antenna. Assuming it cannot do voLTE, would it...

    Do your software updates take forever?

    Waiting to run 10 or 15 updates, basically stacking them and updating all at once, might be the problem. If it is just a few it seems to update normally. I use the Moto X a lot more, and keep the apps updated more frequently. (I think mispoke above when I said the Moto X and N4 side by side with...

I ran 5 test each, and then a sixth one in parentheses on each just to double check I was on the same server, and then a seventh one in parentheses on the N4 to really make sure...

    Do your software updates take forever?

    I've had my N4 since a few months after launch and regular run of the mill software updates take forever. So if I have 10 updates it might take over an hour. I'm not rooted and everything is stock. The phone is up to date and most of my apps are plain vanilla stock android apps that came with...

    Can you easily change month-to-month between $40 Simple Starter and $50 Simple Choice?

    Not with Tmo, but I'm curious: Are there any hoops to jump through switching between Simple Starter and Simple Choice Plans, like getting a new sim card or paying any change fees? Simple Starter works for me but the Simple Choice international perks would be great if I could easily switch over...
