Unsure where to post, so feel free to move if needed.
I currently am on SERO-P with my Evo 3D and have a t-mobile phone on Solavei.
I'm thinking of dropping my SERO plan and paying the $80 ETF since SERO is not transferable.
With SERO, I get unlimited data, but I can't ever get 4g where I am reliably in the St. Louis MO metro area and 3G is so slow.
With Solavei, for $49 I get unlimited talk, text, and 5GB of data (then 2G).
I'm torn because of the truly unlimited, not throttled data that may get better down the road.
Your thoughts?
I have never heard of Sero. What network do they use?
Unless it's changed recently Solavei is throttled at 4gb not 5.
Edit: wait you said evo 3d so I assume it's running off of sprints network.
Idk I guess if you think you can get by with the 4gb of full speed data I would say go for it.
One other question to ask yourself though is if you will be able to use sprints 4G network when it's launched in your area and how soon it will be available in your area.
Since you are in St Louis I would think you would be getting sprint LTE fairly soon.

Solavei caps at 4GB and my experience so far (just four hours) has been abysmal. No roaming as promised on my HTC One S. 4G not as fast as Tmobile Prepaid 4G.
How many minutes do you talk per month?
Sprint's network is brutal. There are too many decent GSM options offering HSPA+ at the same or better price than SERO that it's certainly worth investigating. Have fun / good luck.

SERO is a type of lowcost sprint plan.

Still not getting folks being so high up with LTE considering most people that inhabit these boards will use the alloted data in the first few days of the month
3G seems fine for me and streaming higher band video content is a battery hog anyway. Speed is nice but IMO, a $30 3G unlimited data plan seems a far more pratical option for most people.
Allotted data? What are you talking about? Correct me if i'm wrong but you are merely assuming that Verizon won't have an unlimited 4G data plan for smartphones. I have seen no information suggesting that there will be no unlimited plan available.

I hear that Verizon has plans to initially have unlimited LTE data plans for smartphones but they might change that in the future. I'm sure that Verizon's will throttle people's data if they reach 5 gb... Personally, I don't see why they don't simply charge extra for for LTE to allow it to be unlimited like Sprint does. I wouldn't mind paying 10 extra dollars a month for unlimited data from Verizon... I think that the problem with carriers is that they don't want people hogging their airwaves with their PS3, their laptop, and their little brother's iPod Touch tethered to the phone on their network with the "that's what your cable/dsl network is for" attitude. If they truly feel that way, they should start charging cable/dsl prices and remove the caps while using some of the money to build more towers so they won't have to worry about it. They have devices that they're getting ready to release that are capable of playing/streaming 1080p HD videos. I'd be pissed if I bought one of these smartphone//tablets and were only able two watch two or three videos the entire month. If they're gonna have devices that require a lot of bandwidth to reasonably perform to one's liking, the shouldn't release these devices until their networks are able to handle them being in the hands of the masses. It makes no sense to pay 40-50 dollars for internet at 4G speeds while paying 250-600+ for a device and have to go to find a hotspot to connect to wifi or connect to wifi at home.

3G unlimited for $30 and LTE for $50 seems fare. That way, they get the revenue for folks using the service to update towers. I would say $40, but probably no way VZW would charge that for LTE.
If Verizon has unlimited LTE data for HTC Thunderbolt, they would get a lot of people to buy it. The question is would they get enough revenue to continue to keep it unlimited while upgrading their towers... It would be understandable if they put a 5 gb cap on the mobile hotspot feature because they wouldn't be able to sell their USB modems (which they charge mb and gb packages). But to not have unlimited LTE data from Verizon for a smartphone save the mobile hotspot feature is ridiculous imo. AT&T's LTE plans for the future include limited data and data speed to be purchased in tiers; Verizon can really keep them at bay with unlimited LTE data for strictly smartphones. The question is will Verizon compete directly with AT&T's LTE plans (match AT&T's plans). They reality is that they don't have to. They can make a more attractive unlimited LTE data plan and net more customers and "defectors" from AT&T while making them look like greedy money-hungry cornballs.

Good one, I want the Thunderbolt for the device and not so much for the LTE. That said, yes I can sit here at the office and run our LTE USB and get 20 - 25 mbps and run up 5 gigs in short fashion then really start paying out the wazoo, but RevA EVDO at 2 mbps I can do just fine watching HULU or teathering Skype with video or whatever which is fast enough. I might give a few bucks more for the LTE if it is unlimited, but never buy myself into a plan that caps my data and makes me pay more just to get a speed boost that I just do not need now.
If 3g would actually give me the speed its supposed to I wouldn't need 4g at all. I rarely get over 200kbps down on att's hspa network.
That would be dumb for them to charge same price as current data. How do they justify the 4G investment? that would be one red looking net present value business case
My guess is $45 (30 +15 premium).

From the new BestBuy leak there will be a $30 unlimited option on thunderbolt. Which would make me get it over the iphone. $30 for 4g would be amazing.
Ive played with the thunderbolt and honestly you will only notice the 4g when downloading.On web pages not so much.
Hi everyone,
I have AT&T's Unlimited Smartphone Data Plan ($30.00/mo) as many of you do. However, my concern is that I am not "enabled" for 4G speeds because I am on that plan and not on of their tiered 4G data plans. Since I know so many of you are on the unlimited data plan I am thinking that maybe there is one that enables 4G and another that doesn't.
The reason why I say this is that I live in downtown Manhattan and I have never gotten download speeds much higher than 2Mbps. The upload speeds, I know, are limited. However, I have seen people saying they are getting download speeds of 5-7Mbps! I get nothing even approaching those speeds.
Thanks in advance.

There is a "4g" enabled unlimited plan. You should be on it if you upgraded through an At&t sales location. On the other hand, if you just swapped your SIM (or an uninformed sales rep did) then you may not be.
There are definitely different SOC codes. The easiest way to find out is to call and ask.

Thanks for letting me know about the different types. I was afraid to call and have them force me into a 2GB plan after finding out that I have an Atrix. I did buy the phone from an AT&T store, but I don't think he changed my plan.
I've been feeling pretty down with my "4G" phone giving me speeds like 1.5Mbps down and .2 up in Manhattan. Simply ridiculous.
RE: 4G
I have heard that AT&T hasn't enabled "4G" yet. Google "Atrix 4G" and check out news results.

Yeah, the next obvious step is to kill unlimited 4G plans.
Eff that.
ugh. i'm unlimited. honestly, if they do kill unlimtied for us and offer family share plans, then i won't be so mad, and i'll jump on a family share data plan so my mom can get a smartphone..she's wanted one but doesn't wanna pay 30 a month for data lol
Yea, Seems Vzn is doing everything they can to slowly kill off any Unlimited data
Wait, so here's my question--my brother has in iphone on an unlimited plan. If we activate a 4G phone on his line, do they consider that a 3G plan because the plan was purchased with a 3G phone? Or would it be a "4G" plan? What if I activated his iphone on my line? Would it magically become a 3G plan then?
from what i understand, if you have a 3g phone and put a 4g phone on after this is done, then yeah you're not unlimited anymore.
if you drop down to 3g after this is done, they'll prob keep you unlimited until you go back to 4g, then you'll be tiered
like we've all got "3g unlimited" plans because we all got unlimited whenonly 3g phones were out..now we're on 4g with teh same "3g" plan
actually, i bet ANY change to data after this happens will drop you to tiered and not let you keep unlimited..even going down to 3g i bet they'll tier you

Looks like even unlimited 4G plans will be moved over.
"LTE is our anchor point for data share. So, as you come through an upgrade cycle and you upgrade in the future, you will have to go on to the data share plan. And moving away from, if you will, the unlimited world and moving everyone into a tiered structure data share plan."
free upgrade
I got an email 2 days ago for a free early upgrade to a 4g phone. Yesterday I went and got my free HTC Rezound phone, all I had to pay was activation fee. When I asked how I got the deal they said they are trying to get more people on the 4g LTE network. I got to keep my unlimited data plan.

It sounds like they'll be nuking those too. It's just going to take a bit longer.
Edit: All I know for sure is if they are killing my unlimited 4G plan, I'm going to be streaming pr0n to my phone 24/7 until they do. In a childish attempt to use as much bandwidth as possible, mostly as a f*ck you.
Basically my company is changing the way they do phones and we now have to get out own phone plan which they will reimburse us for. I'm currently on AT&T with the HOX and the only other phone I would consider is the EVO 4G LTE. Actually I would prefer to have the EVO to be honest but I'm mainly worried about data speeds. I'm in Atlanta and the LTE speeds on AT&T here are absolutely insane, average around 35-40Mbps down on speedtest, and they reach way outside of the actual city, which is a huge plus for me. I actually live about 50 miles north of the city and still get a strong LTE connection. I see that Atlanta is on the first wave of LTE roll-outs for Sprint but I'm worried about the 3G speeds I may have to be on a lot of the time. Can anyone in the metro Atlanta area comment on the 3G speeds around here? I don't know anyone on Sprint personally. The other plus for me switching to Sprint is the unlimited data. The AT&T company plan I'm on now has unlimited but that is going away and I'll have to start a completely new plan if I stay on AT&T.
Generally sprint 3g will be slower because we don't have hspa and most att does, sometimes sprint is faster but I haven't seen that since sprint list the Alltel towers

When I actually do switch from ATT LTE to HSPA/HSPA+ I still pull over 5Mbps down consistently, so I don't doubt that the 3G will be slower, just how much slower is the question. All the Sprint speed tests I see are always showing how bad it is but I don't know anyone in the Metro Atlanta area to give me actual results.
Sprint is horrible bad, make sure you get good info before jumping ship.

Try it out - Get an EVO LTE and return it within 14 days
I am pretty sure that right now you can get at EVO LTE directly from Sprint with free activation. With the return policy, you could return it for a full refund for the phone within 14 days and only pay the prorated service charge.
So I suggest you try it out and get a new / temporary phone number from Sprint and then return it. That will give you a true real world experience of using the phone and its service.
I am in the Philly area and am hoping to see LTE by the end of the year. The service is OK in the area, but horrible in my house. To deal with that I use Roam Control to force roaming (which uses Verizon's towers) while at my house -works like a charm!
Good luck.
Sprint has the best plans but by far the worst/slowest network. It's a trade off..

I happened to be in the Atlanta airport the other day waiting for a connecting flight. My data speeds on the Evo 4G LTE were fast for 3G. I know it's the airport and may not include other areas, but it seemed great. The previous week I was in Orlando and had no data speeds at all. I called Sprint and their towers were being upgraded. I felt like a hand was cut off.
In Massachusetts where I live the data speeds are good.
Oh and as for that upgrade fee/activation fee of $36. I have bought all my phones at Best Buy and never paid the fee. Might want to go there.

I'm in ATL, and I would say my 3G is good most of the time. I live and work just outside I-285, and I've always had good service. Is it the fastest, no. Have I been able to do everything I needed to do, pretty much yes. Now I do work in a Corp high rise, and its surrounded by two other high rise buildings, so the signal does fade in/out at times. Also, there is no using Sprint cell phones in the elevator based on my 10+ year experience with Sprint. When I travel around the city, I get good service (data/voice) and GPS reception. I only run into problems when I'm in or around large buildings. As far as call signal/quality, no issues. I get a few dropped calls, but those are in the same dead spots. I do have roaming on... Those dropped calls are few and far between.
I just came back from a 4 day trip to Chicago. Sprint phones have always held up well for me on vacations out of town. I never rent a GPS, as the phone does everything I need. I used the EVO LTE for car, public transportation, & walking navigation (GOOGLE NAV/MAPS by the way). It performed exceptionally... Like I said b/f, the signal may fade if you're around large buildings, but that didn't hinder my travels. FYI - the battery held up well. I used the camera, video, and GPS non-stop. I will have to say the camera has grown on me. That thing is quite impressive. The burst mode is a beast. Very impressive now that I know how to use it. I used to have a color saturation problem, but that's long gone. Guess the camera got better over time & me actually learning how to use helped too. My portable charger (Tylt Powerplant) I purchased from Sprint held up will and did a great job of keeping me juiced. I was out all day using the phone on Auto brightness. Sun glare/reflection didn't bother the EVO at all.
OP - Hope all this information helps.

Agreed, Sprint is the last real chance of any of us have to stand up to price fixing on wireless.
Sprint is going through some growing pains, but better days are ahead.

LTE and fast 3g are useless if you max out your data plan in a week... Plus Sprint customer service has been excellent and the phones are great (Evo>One X any day).

I used my data almost exactly the same way but I go through about 8-10 a month. In East/North bay Cali 3g/4g data has been pretty good. No way I can use up that much data with Verizon/ATT without paying more than what I'm paying now.
Locking this as there is already a thread on the clear deal...
FWIW many of the articles are really wrong with comments saying X spectrum sprint will have puts them ahead of the others....must remember all spectrum isn't equal and also some points being left out are one that all that spectrum isn't owned even, as some of it is leased.
Another is that no one is bringing up the point that no one has been trying to buy clearwire for years or their spectrum...except sprint...
