So I was on an ATT family plan. I had my Nexus 4 everything was fine....then one day text messaging stops working. I had previously cut the sim and I thought maybe that was the issue. Got a news sim it works for a week then it goes out again. I put the sim in my old skyrocket the messages come in I put it back in my Nexus 4 and everything is fine. Then it goes out again, this time nothing fixes it, I try the sim in several phones same problem. I call ATT support they fix it. Then data goes out....then text messaging.....again. I call ATT and they tell me they will "LOOK" at the issue in 7 to 10 days. Which means I am 1 without my primary means of communication. No data means I can't even us GPS which is very important to me.
At this point I am furious. There is one other person on our family plan, which means leaving would revert them to a single plan thereby losing the huge number of rollover minutes we have. So ATT agrees to exchange the roll-over minutes for a 50% reduction on the cancellation fee making in tolerable but still aggrevating.
I end up going to the Tmobile $30 unlimited data/text 100 minute voice plan. Overall even with the other line off a family plan we save money overall.
I get everything activated with t-mobile only to find I don't get reception in my house at all with the Nexus 4. I had just ordered a S4 GPE so I try that when it comes in and I got just enough reception in my house but nothing impressive.
The problem is that I have really poor building penetration, I only get data reception in about 50% of the buildings I go into and rarely rarely ever get LTE (though 4g speeds are really good so thats not a huge deal). I am supposedly in a well covered area (San Jose California area) but still not so great. On top of it my caller id isn't working it just read unavailable or wireless caller for everyone I call contact T-Mobile and they said they'll fix it in.......(irony here) 7 to 10 days.
