Nexus 4 - AT&T

[roaddaw9]

OK I was hoping someone could help me with the simple version of my question. I am planning to move to AT&T. My plan is to get the 99 cent iPhone and then order my Nexus 4. I have been trying to find a thread which outlines if the Nexus 4 will work 100% with AT&T. I will be going on a family share plan with 6 GB of Data per month. Can anyone help me understand if this will work with no problems? If there are limitations what are they? I have been understanding that some tweaking may be needed. Anyone have a simple to understand site that outlines these tweaks? I really appreciate support on this subject that this great community might be able to provide.

That shared data plan HAS to be a 4G Data Plan AND you'll need to configure the HSPA+ APN settings that have been posted in this forums.

I wouldn't get the 99c iPhone.. you'll be signing a contract then.. buy the nexus and open the line contract free

Its kind of a pain dealing with AT&T with the Nexus 4 but yes it does work well once you get the 4g plan and have the APN settings. Don't sign a two year for a 99 cent iPhone. Get the Nexus 4 and go to AT&T for service without a contract so you aren't trapped for two years.

They have basic, 4G and 4G LTE options.

OP is probably trying to add another line to an existing family account. You should be able to do this without signing a contract and having to purchase another device. If you plan on selling the iPhone after getting it for $99 then that might not be a bad idea...but to be on a contract might not be your best bet considering there are great monthly plans available for At&t and T-Mobile networks contact free.

Actually any iPhone that's not a 5 will get a 3G data plan.

I have to add a total of four lines. So I was just getting a new family share for all four together. So my thought process was to get the phones. Keep the 99 cent I phone as a spare and then buy a nexus 4 for myself. I am not getting insurance so I'd someone else breaks there phone they can use the extra phone. I just want to make sure I get the right plan. Rest of my lines will get a iphone

Also fwiw, I didn't need to tweak any APN settings on either my GSM Galaxy Nexus or my Nexus 4 (on AT&T or T-Mobile).
