T-Mobile Confirms Nexus 4 HSPA+ 42Mbps Connectivity

I dont know how this value plan shyt work. The nexus retail is 350$ not 600$, so they cant charge 600$. I think you are reading it wrong

I'm on the $100 for 2 lines value plan. Financing the device according to their release statement costs $199 down with twenty $20 monthly payments on that plan. That's $600 at the end of the day. I doubt T-Mobile is going to sell this thing for less than $600 at full price.

According to Google's site, their unlocked version is only 21 Mbps while the T-Mobile version is 42 Mbps. It just doesn't make sense to buy it through T-Mobile at full price is all I'm saying.

I agree for value plan customers its better deal just to buy it off the play store. The hspa+ 21 is still plenty fast to stream music/video etc. As for why T-mobile charges higher in this case for the phone, one the version they have is more expensive for them to buy due to the DC hspa+ radio and to keep people from buying it cheap and ending their contracts and reselling.

I would buy it off the play store and use straight talk anyways

no they just started this shyt with the Note 2 i think

i called and talked to a tmo rep cause i wanted to know why it was so much on a classic plan and he told me its cause people on the value plan have to pay a extra $20 on top of their bill for 20 months

WTF is t-mobile smoking so their plans arent really cheap. They are basically getting rid of subsiding

Simple Mobile or Solovie (spelling?) are better than Straight Talk. ST has iffe data restrections.

The Value plans are about 2 yrs old now nothing new. With the value plan you get a price break on the calling plans but you lose the phone subsidy. The classic plans are the plans you are use to seeing it include the phone subsidy but you pay higher plan prices but still cheaper than the competition.

No they are not don't feed into the miss information people are posting.

 

[Rohiggidy]

I get it still better than the 2 bullies

 

[Rohiggidy]

Apple made 4 different versions of the iphone 5 to make it work on each network

if the nexus sold like the gs3 then google would of done that

Classic Unlimited - Unlimited Nationwide 4G $89.99 per month Unlimited EVERYTHING FULL SPEED!

Unlimited - Plus: Unlimited data (up to 2 GB of high-speed data included)
$79.99 per month (After 2 gB you are throttled-no overage charge)

Value Plans - No Subsidy

T-mobile is right. Its a great option for people who dont want contracts. I can upgrade every year at 350$ for a new nexus phone

a break down

It makes more sense to buy the phone from Google directly and use it on one of T-Mobile’s prepaid plans. The savings really speak for themselves. Let’s take T-Mobile’s basic individual plan with unlimited data vs. 2 of T-Mobile’s Monthly4G plans:

T-Mobile Service Fees: $90/month (unlimited talk, text, 4G data)
T-Mobile Nexus 4 – $200
Total 2 year cost: $2360

T-Mobile Monthly4G Service Fees: $60/month (unlimited talk, text, 2GB 4G data)
Unlocked Nexus 4 – $350
Total 2 year cost: $1790; Savings vs. Contract: $570

T-Mobile Monthly4G Service Fees: $30/month (100 min, unlimited text, 5GB 4G data)
Unlocked Nexus 4 – $350
Total 2 year cost: $1070; Savings vs. Contract: $1290

Thanks for this. It will help the uninformed! Let me take this one step further and give the pros and cons of each plan.


T-Mobile Service Fees: $90/month (unlimited talk, text, 4G data)
T-Mobile Nexus 4 – $200
Total 2 year cost: $2360
