Interesting analogy.

I'm seriously considering getting a Nexus 4 and putting on a $30/month pre-paid T-Mobile plan with 5GB of 4G data when my Sprint contract expires in June, mainly because there's no LTE on the horizon here.

if i could get T-mobile in my area i would have switched already. are there plenty of apps out there that can allow u to call with ur data. important phone calls wont wait for VM to complete their bs "update", if i miss calls they r gonna compensate me with 10 dollar of pitiful credit ?

In additional service is says that for $10 more you get ulimited talk, can you add unlimited talk to that $30 prepaid plan or it don't apply to that one?

You don't get tmobile service either? you need to move to RVA

Im lucky i get good service over here, but in the last 2 months i don't get service anymore at home, i have all signal bar at home,

but when i try to make calls at home it says my phone is not authorize to make calls, and when i check the mobile network state in about phone, it says disconnected.

 

[optimusv45]

u talking about the 10 per month international unlimited talk and text ?

 

[optimusv45]

all we got in WV is rednecks and buckwilds

Yeah, i got it now lol, its for international calling only.

I don't know about it coming to the US guys, I remember my Canadian friend telling me how Virgin Mobile in Canada was like att in the US and if this is true of course they're getting nice phones. I'm not about to let go of my Evo 3D anytime soon

Don't people pay extra for this?

 

[mastersoup]

theyre not at all the same company, and over there, they use gsm phones w/ contracts. the only thing that is the same is the logo.

 

[thIsgUy20]

If virgin mobile gave the nexus 4 to us and put it on contract i actually wouldnt mind paying 35.00 A month contract wise since i do it for this phone anyways. as long as They dont change anything like unlimited data

 

[OverByter]

The Nexus 4 is a GSM phone, we can't get it.

[xploPR]

Wasn't the iphone also gsm only?

That's always confusing for me lol

Sadly yes

Used to be, until the Verizon iPhone 4 came out. Since the 4S, it's always been both

Theres been Sprint Phones with Sim Cards before so its not impossible Photon i think and maybe the a BlackBerry?

 

[newevouservm]

Most recent CPU's can support all the bands for CMDA/GSM but carriers won't make any money.

Yeah, the Evo Design also, sadly the sim is only for world phone compatibility outside of the USA.

[thIsgUy20]

do you all think we will probably get the s3? maybe by the summer since thats around the time vm comes out with something new and plus i believe around that time the s4 should be released. since the s3 will kinda be old that puts it in the position to go to virgin mobile. since virgin mobile gets phones that has been out for awhile

 

[swerver32]

I read the nexus 4 has terrible battery life. It does look good but after having the vevo, I'm gonna do my best to avoid another phone that runs out of juice too easily. I'd love to see one of those droid maxx's on vm, though I realize that's not likely.

 

[xploPR]

I think almost all stock phones comes with horrible battery life, that's why we root and start flashing all those mods, roms and tweaks, to get the best out of the phone including battery life.

 

[swerver32]

Yes but some are better than others. To be honest I've done my fair share of flashing and tweaking on the vevo and nothing has noticably improved the poor battery life. I love the phone otherwise and all the great roms, but the battery is an Achilles heel.
