T-Mobile LTE Phones do get LTE on Metro Pcs

[allmanallpimp]

What phone did you try?

Many... I will say I have a friend with a nexus 4 that doesn't sound too bad on T-Mobile. Not sure if it's just the area or individual phones or both....

Give a Motorola device a try, they actually try for great sound quality while its the backburner for other OEM (Samsung)

Next Motorola I repair I will definitely make a few calls. I would be concerned with Motorola as I gave up on them years ago due to battery/charging issues across the board. The last Motorola I had/condoned purchasing was a 325i due to it's amazing to on Verizon. Anyone try the note 3 for voice quality? I noticed you stated poor quality with Samsung. The nexus 5 and note 3 are the two phones with my attention

From everything I've read (just reading so far, since I don't have it yet) the Motorola Moto G is a great device; especially the battery life. People have said it has great call clarity as well. I believe that DirtyDee has one, maybe he can chime in and verify.

Oh yes my Atrix has a maxx battery 3200 mAh battery still can't outlast my Lady moto G. The display is much better than my Atrix despite the same resolution (maybe because its curved) we are both on KitKat her g destroys my over clocked in every aspect. The speaker still scares me with its clarity and loudness. When she calls she comes in with great clarity when I use her phone for calls people tell me how eerily silent my background is at time like its unnatural. Most OEM won't say anything about call quality or what the did to improve it moto proudly display it also the camera is meh city at 5mp but still makes my 8mp shooter look like crap side by side.. Moto is learning cameras

can anyone help me pls? my bf had bought a tmobile note 3 on ebay and it is unlocked with good imei... problem is, when we took it to metro it would not activate! it would say "not registered on network" when we tried to call. this confuses me because the phone has all the requirements for it to work on metro? what's funny was that after spending 70 bucks, and the phone still not working... they did not refund us!!

im sorry for bringing up a month's old thread... but pls, i need the help! iv'e searched everywhere for a solution!!

ps: we called tmobile and even they said its not blocked... could it have been a bad activation? the people from metro were kind of stupid....

So did they pair the imei with sim card number? Or did you guys just try to pop the sim in and go

 

[new optimus]

I wonder how you bought a note 3 for $70? or are you talking about the metro service?

If I were you I would look to Straight talk for service, you can get tmobile or att sim whichever has better service where you live. and $45 per month unlimited is damn nice.

 

[Mexigga]

He's talking about mpcs service/activation costs for $70... They probably goofed the activation with the sim

$45 a month on ST is only 2.5 G's of Data.

And also they do on aio wirless

No its the same as t mobile and metro, unlimited but 2.5gb at full speeds

 

[DirtyDee]

That's not the same we get unlimited full speed and 2.5gb mobile hotspot data st 45 is the same as T-Mobile 50 dollar minus the advantage of being post paid T-Mobile whatever that may be

 

[new optimus]

both metro and t mobile have their higher tier service, which is unlimited full speed, but at what cost compared to straight talk $45 service? the corresponding metro is $50, and t mobile is $60 so for the same service I am paying less.

Set my aio phone on throttle next to my roomstes straight talk phone on throttle and I see 4 times the speed. Just sayin. Not all throttles are equal.

Both gsm, both lte, both at&t sims

 

[OcalaFlGuy]

Throttle?

What's that?


Find me Just One carrier besides T-Metro that'll give me 20 G's of data in a month for $60 and "we'll talk".


I'll be waiting.


Cell phones are Supposed to make life easier for us. I'm getting older. I need LESS stress in what's left of my life, not More.


I'm not going to Pay Money Every Month so I can figure out at which point in that month my GREAT phone becomes a GREAT paperweight.

I am not sure what you mean, I have never had my straight talk service throttled. I run on t mobile towers though.

Also I thought I read that aio throttles all speed to under 8mb/s or something like that. to me that would suck.

 

[timmyh318]

Aio throttles there max speeds to 8mbps. Plenty fast enough to do anything you want. Then when you use your data allowence they throttle you to a respectable 256 kps. It maintains that speed really well. Still a very usable speed and better than alot of speeds ive seen people piat from there unthrottled metro phones. So for 60 bucks on aio you get unlimited web. Its just after 5 gigs you get throttled to a usuable 256 kps. Not saying ones better than the other that would depend on what network is better in your area att or t mobile but in most areas att does have the more stable consistant network.

While I'm not a fan of throttling I would agree with this, assuming you get the full 8Mbps. That's fast enough for almost anything right now, including streaming HD video.

Yea we had some crap speeds LTE was pretty lackluster for quite some time no on the other hand we do get better speeds. If I ever feel the need to no longer need 60 plus gbs of data usage and 30gbs on the 2nd line I would pop in an att mvno sim and test the waters. See how green that grass really is

Yea, agreed, but since I live close to a base that has interference from one of tue bands tmobile uses, well no dice for me.

Tried and tested on speed test snd hulu works great

Interference with a band t-mobile uses . I thought the military vacated that and the adjacent bands about 5 years ago. I don't think they even roll out the bands, like they had that problem in Tampa with the initial rollout .

 

[Prepaidguy9081]

Idk this is an old base and has been on the chopping block before so I dont think they get alot of technology

 

[Gman9831]

Oh I had meant to say I don't think the carriers roll out the band's in the area where there's interference. I'm not even sure they were allowed to which is why they had to wait a while in 2009 to use it when they acquired it
