Nationwide 5G
In that case lets hope their current, I guess free nationwide DSS 5G improves.
Re: T-Mobile launches
I'm sure this has more to do with the promise of improving rural data coverage in the terms to get the Sprint merger approved.
Coverage question
So if my coverage currently sucks. Will 5G make it any better? Or should I just start looking at a carrier that has better coverage for me?
Data deadzone
So I wonder if this 5G will offer any better coverage? As in my corner of suburbia is a Verizon data deadzone.
Re: You get what you pay for perhaps.
Yes. But what are the statistics of occurrences between carriers?
Does one get hacked more than another. Do they all have the same amount of attempted hacks. But some carries have better cyber security?
You get what you pay for perhaps.
I wonder what the occurrence rate is for this kind of thing is between the carries? TMO, ATT, VZW, and Sprint.
Volume to low
Anyone experiencing this? Seems like notification volume is to low. Also compared a Youtube video between my S9+ and Oneplus 5T. And while the S9+ was better sounding, the Oneplus 5T was louder.
Looks like others are having this issue as well.

So...
Once again here in the US this is something that will only work on T-Mobile. And like their HD voice there is no interoperability between T-Mobile and other carriers here in the US.
Am I getting that right?
Line access fees gone up???
It appears to me that ATT has also raised their line access fee from $20 to $30 with these plan changes.
Samsung
Is offering a $350 trade in credit as well.
If VZW & ATT want to compete
They'd stop charging a line access fee.
T-Mobile one price fees & taxes included is pretty slick trick.
And they'll be manned by immigrants.
STEAM education. Meaning more jobs for immigrants here in the US.
First LTE extender
I still have the first (And from the looks of it, smaller) Verizon/Samsung LTE extender. Not sure how they're going to roll out 5G home service when there are plenty of urban dead zones for Verizon.
Face ID
I like the bump in base model memory. But Face ID? I know it's about security. And that you're not suppose to use your phone while driving. It is however very convenient to unlock your phone without having to look at it in driving situations. And unlock it by just placing a thumb on it. And just glance at it for the information you're needing at the time. I suspect Face ID will require bringing the phone into your ...
Really not a fan
Of these Motorola phones anymore. Bring back the the Droid line!
And once
Again you'll need a new handset to take advantage of this new found spectrum and coverage. Phone makers must just love T-Mobile.
Using WiFi Hotspots
I'm assuming Comcast means the modems they rent their internet customers. I know you can turn off the open WiFi if you'd like. But I have to wonder now with their cell service relying on those modems. If Comcast has overridden that, or could???
Trying to
Follow T-Mobile's suit in that the money is in streaming data. But I think T-Mobile is going for subscriber and post paid growth with Binge On. Verizon will continue to nickle & dime customers for data and overages incurred while using their streaming services.
This makes no sence
As soon as last year, I left my Netflix account set on HD play back. And blew through my data allotment from VZW. Log back into my Netflix account via a PC, set play back quality to medium and no more problems blowing through my data allotment.
So if Netflix has been down grading play back on VZW & ATT for the last 5 years. How does it explain my experience?
Seriously
That's it??? Free Hulu for a year.
It'd be nice if it actually worked
Typical Verizon fashion, I've tried several times to get this. And all I get is a error message.
$10/Month discount
"Customers who choose one of the other DirecTV packages will still see a $10 monthly discount when wireless and television services are combined on a single bill."
Wonder, is this $10 off wireless or TV? Or a combination of the two? And can it be used in conjunction with other discounts?
Just got this phone
And for all the talk about it's screen, I think my Note 4 gets brighter than the LG G4.
Also the G4's screen gets pretty warm at times.
Re: Other G4 Leather Colours

Problem with preorder
So I tried to preorder the G4 and it seems since I'm a existing customer or because I'm paying full price. It will only allow me to order the G4 with the grey plastic back. :o
I try to select the other backs and it doesn't do anything.
Anyone else experience this?
Update: It seems if I go through as a new customer I can only get grey as well. Not the black leather.
Come on Verizon!
Galaxy Note 4 Lollipop
The "sensitive" setting seems to be missing from the app notifications?? :?
What about
Will it still have 'Duo focus'??
Wow
First they're not going to follow TMO & ATT with data roll over. Now they're raising prices for activation's & upgrades.
They're really trying to win customers over with their "We're the best and most expensive. Take it or leave it" motto.
I think
If enough customers left, they'd change their tune.
Ain't that the truth!
"None of the major U.S. carriers have yet announced plans to improve the speeds of their LTE networks to these levels."
How about just improving!?! Seems as if T-Mobile is the only carrier doing anything.
TMO MMS Question
It appears on the iPhone with Wi-Fi calling enabled you aren't able to send picture messages.
If you disable Wi-Fi calling but still are hooked up to a Wi-Fi network, or no Wi-Fi MMS go through fine.
Is this just a iPhone thing or do Android phones on TMO suffer from this as well??
Thanks
These clowns!
LOL! I just renewed my $60 2GB plan yesterday. Bastards! 8O
So what about the data overage with the single plan? It wasn't to long ago that the plan already cost $75 and overage was $15/GB. Then VZW dropped the plan to $60 and overage to $10. Is the overage going to go back up?
NFL Mobile Question
I see on VZW with the NFL Mobile app you can watch live games for a monthly fee or if you're on a everything share plan.
You can download the app to any smartphone on any other carrier. But my question is can you get the live games??
On my VZW smartphone it will give me a preview of a live game then come up and say to continue it's $5.99/month.
On my TMO smartphone the NFL Mobile app just plays highlights, ...
Re: Other Carriers...
I'm wondering as VoLTE rolls out if carriers are going to levy it only working on their network at first to try to get more subscribers?
You know, "We offer the best calling quality. But only on OUR network."
VoLTE Between carriers
Will HD calling work between carriers? Or will each carrier's HD calling only work within it's own network? :?

You maybe right after all. Confusing...yes.
Re: confused.....
"CellSpot delivers a full-bars T-Mobile experience"
There's also a video that explains/shows this as well.
Re: confused.....
Think of it as a cell tower repeater using the internet you already have. Your cell strength indicator should go up using this device not your WiFi indicator. Plus it still needs to be plugged into the internet to work.
All carriers already offer this type of device.
iPhone 5S unlock question
I have an ATT iPhone 5S that I unlocked, same model number of the Verizon iPhone 5S. But when I go to activate it it says 'No Service' and it won't allow me to activate online either. I'm just swapping my nano SIM from my Droid Maxx to the iPhone 5S, I figured it should work. Thought that was the point of the iPhone 5S being the same across most carriers here in the US.
Re: I didn't think
It was a long time ago. Think when Sprint didn't have MMS yet and was using 'Picture Message'
(older messages not shown)
