T-Mobile at the moment is vastly better than att. T-Mobile hspa+ speeds are faster and more consistent. Up to 42mbs on T-Mobile and 22mbs on att. Also T-Mobile has the fastest 3g network, meaning you'll never have to worry about speeds. I can testify to that.

I am on AT&T with LTE. I get speeds surpassing what you just posted for T-Mobile, easily. I also have unlimited data on AT&T.

Also, the T-Mobile plan typically referred to only offers 100 minutes a month for calls :what:

:whoa:

We are talking prepaid breh, att doesn't offer lte for prepaid. And you don't have "unlimited"...if your grandfathered youre capped at 5gigs. And that plan is only $30 on T-Mobile, 100mins is not an issue for ppl who don't use minutes like that. And there is apps to bypass having to use minutes. Also T-Mobile had a prepaid plan with "unlimited" everything for $50. Att is trash breh, especially on contract. What's the point of having lte with capped data doggie?

My dilemma is this:

Currently paying $160 a month on Sprint for 2 lines (insurance and 4G charge on both lines)

I could either hop on an unlimited talk, text, & data 2-year value plan for $100/month

or grab 2 prepaid 4G plans where the bill will range between $120 or $140.

I save either way, but T-Mo prepaid plan offers no data service while roaming. :shaq2:

Hold up b....How you owe money on a prepaid breh :wtf:

You pay in advance, you get service. Simple.

Edit: you rather owe money on a contract, have them cut off your phone and they still bill you for months your shyt been cut off because you can't catch up before they terminate your contract?? :russ:

Damn y'all nikkaz so quick to find a blooper.... relax.... I meant services like boost,metro... shyt with no contract.... I heard they cut u off quickly after like a day after your bill is due. Verizon or T-Mobile take a min to cut u off.... from my experience

1. I have LTE speeds at up to 5 gigs per month on AT&T (after 5 gigs I get 3g / edge speeds on AT&T so yea, I have unlimited data). On T-Mobile, for $30, you get unlimited up to 5 gigs at inferior non-LTE speeds. FYI, LTE on AT&T is faster than WIFI for me!

2. 100 minutes talk time is not nearly enough for me and I don't want to have to rely on other options with alternate phone numbers.

3. The $50 dollar unlimited everything on T-Mobile has unlimited 4g for only the first 100mb. LMAO! That is practically useless for data.

Like I said, the price points for T-Mobile / straight talk / simple mobile are good and compelling BUT I do believe AT&T has better service.

So much wrong info in here it's funny :russ:

Read reviews on them. They flat out lie about unlimited data + an extra $10 charge on your bill every month.

Smh...There is no additional $10 charge unless you want international calling. It's ether $40 for unlimited talk, text and 3g data or $50 for unlimited talk, text and 4G HSPA+ up to 2.5 Gb before throttle. :ufdup:

really? drop a link if possible , ive read very few reviews on them, going to do that now

as far as data goes am not too worried about that YET because am getting the shytty 250mb plan, ( i have a very cheap phone for now ) so am more interested in cheap plans than data speed etc

its either them or TMO prepaid for $50 a month

I use them, I had no issues with them. There are places on the net where you can re-up at a discounted rate making it ever cheaper. No tax or hidden fees. Old dude don't know what he is talking about. :deadmanny:

Which pre-paid plans offer unlimited data without any throttling?

None! At this time Solavei has the most at 4 GB before throttle.

You better join the Tmobile family, nygga...those cats are looking crazy as fukk on ATT and Verizon. Willingly getting raped. Sad.

Cats are still stuck on that At&T and Verizon nuts thinking there are better and thinking T-mobile as some ghetto network. Unless you don't have good T-mobile or AT&T coverage in your area you just throwing money away by being on Verizon or AT&T. Post pay plans roam on AT&T network if need be.

My dilemma is this:

Currently paying $160 a month on Sprint for 2 lines (insurance and 4G charge on both lines)

or grab 2 prepaid 4G plans where the bill will range between $120 or $140.

In your case go with T-mo value plan get unlimited talk, text true unlimited data 2 lines is $120 a month with data roaming.

You can find bad reviews for all carriers prepay or not!

I buy my phones outright :win:

Yes this is the best way, But you still paying the inflated price on AT&T and Verizon. You don't get a discount for bringing your own phone as you would on T-mo or prepay.

:whew:

I can't really say anything where I live they don't have LTE so I was a full to keep paying Verizon and ATT when Tmob got damn near the same coverage.

Lets be honest there is no real world difference on a mobile device in having faster then 10 Mb down. A HSPA+ 42 device in a HSPA+ 42 area can do anything LTE can do.

2. 100 minutes talk time is not nearly enough for me and I don't want to have to rely on other options with alternate phone numbers.

T-mo Value plans with unlimited everything for $69.99.

3. The $50 dollar unlimited everything on T-Mobile has unlimited 4g for only the first 100mb. LMAO! That is practically useless for data.

That prepay, Look at the Value plans breh

How does AT&T have better service then T-mo? :heh:

Did you not read my post breh?



100 minutes is not enough for most people who use their cell phones exclusively to talk

No one wants to jump through hoops to get more minutes

That's the only part I read
