Wait till T-Mobile releases their S3 that includes LTE so that way your not stuck with just HSPA+ you'll have HSPA+/LTE

Tmobiles releasing their new S3 with LTE added on, later this month or early next month. Don't think they gonna do that.

I heard straight talk throttles a lot what's their policy ?

Throttles if you try to run your entire house off $45 service. lol.

I've ran up to 5GB with no issues unlike the people that "claim" to be randomlly cut off at 2gigs or before. The least amount I use is usually 2 gigs and average around 3 to 3.5. People get mad cause they are running their damn TV off the service and get caught and then wanna blame it on ST.
 
I read somewhere where the date was pushed back so Metro could have it's Annual Report all ready to go to the Shareholders. Surely they want the chance to pull the control rods out on their Nuclur Voodoo Accounting Emulator and along with the Celestial Smoke and Mirrors Generator be able to WoW the shareholders into not hooking up with the opposition.
:D

You know they'll be doing everything short of pumping happy gas in thru the HVAC of that meeting room...

I have a few questions about the merger hopefully some one can answer them.. As of now I have a LG esteem with the 30 dollar a month 4G plan, which i got grandfathered in.. Now I want to get the Samsung galaxy s3, but since the merger is about to pass, I don't know if I should get a GSIII for metropcs or tmobile?? I know T-Mobile is getting the LTE GSIII version in a few weeks so I'm still not sure which one to get.. I also want to keep my 30 dollar a month plan, but I heard that T-Mobile is now offering a plan that is 30 dollars a month unlimited talk text and 500mb of 4g web.. is this true about the plan?? Also when i run out of 4g data on tmobile what speeds do i get?? On metropcs when my 4g runs out i switch back to 3g and i still get unlimited web and the 3g speeds for metro in my area are about 700kb..
 
The $30 plan on T-Mobile is 100mins for talk, unlimited text, 5GB of 4G then throttled.

If you have the $30 grandfathered plan & your satisfied with it go ahead & get the MetroPCS S3. I just said wait for the LTE T-Mobile S3 cause he seemed kinda sure he wanted T-Mobile to me.
 
If you want to stay with Metro then just get their S3 now. If you want to go to T-Mobile then wait for the LTE equipped S3 of theirs to come out.
 
Ok so the tmobile 30 dollar plan is not unlimited calling... Another question is when you get throttled on tmobile what kind of speeds do you get?? And what would you guys do in my case?? I like the fact that I get 5gb with tmobile but the 100 minutes I don't know about that???

I'm going for tmobile their speeds are faster that metro in this merger there the only ones really benefiting as their just using metros spectrum to improve their service. I believe the only benefit to metro is they may get gsm phones eventually. I'm either getting the lte s3 or the note 2. I was gonna wait till sep or Christmas so the note 3 comes out and I'll get a good deal on the note 2 but I may just get an s3 if I can't wait. Their both good phones and it seems s3 has larger dev community.
 
I was thinking of selling my iPod touch 5th generation 64gb as that would give me about 350. I already have a iPad 4th generation so I'm really contemplating it .

After the merger they'll be running the same network so the same speeds different plans just like boost/virgin is to sprint just different plans. Their combining the spectrum. So any speeds tmobile gets metro'll get the same.

Oh i didn't know that. Anyway im probably gonna go for the note 2 so ill have to go with Tmobile anyway. unless metro has some plans. also to get that $30 4g plan would the note have to be unlocked or just the Tmobile branded one ?
 
I am no big phone yakker but 100 min isn't Jack.

That's just one notch up from no calling at all.

I am sick and tired of having to keep Any eye on Any limits I Just May bump up against.

Not gonna happen.

It doesn't make any sense to piddle around to save 100-125 a year on the plan and not be able to fully use that $500 phone. That's just crazy talk. :rolleyes:

I'm on virgin mobile they give me 300 minutes for 35 every month I use 30 20 78 tops its like I'm giving them free money. I'm 18 so I text everyone I know except my parents it works for me but not others lol
 
300 min is three times the amount being discussed.

Still, IMO, you're a rare 18 yr old if you don't burn thru 300 min given the chance...
