Thank you nick your the best, see that is support, & even though the victory isn't my primary device any longer, its good to be able to keep the device up to date because usually ota updates are bad news unless we have people like you & devs that sort the mess out & include the goodies whilst avoiding any new lock down restrictions, 😃

So thank you sir

No need to thank me :) I just do it to help out. Moonknightus retired working on this phone and I'm really the only one actively working on this phone, though there are a few others. I keep all my devices up to date if I can for as long as I have them. I plan on keeping this phone until I get a no contact S5 lol. That'll be a while though :p

Not dissing VM cause they where good to me but my decision to leave them was realizing I was in a no contact deal & received a text that they where gonna start throttling to 2g after 2.5 gigs & that was including 4g & their 3g is equivalent to 2g edge on t-mobile so the 40.00 unlimited everything plan with 500mb Lte full speed & a new devices was really hard to pass up with the 14.00 a month device payment plan or u can buy it all out at once or make larger any increments payments min 14.00 towards paying it off each month on top of that 40.00 +14.00

How is 500 MB of full speed LTE better than 2.5 GB? Am I missing something?

Its all unlimited & you can switch to different plans 50.00 & up
But the 2g edge does suck
As it would for anyone but if you own phone outright it's a good deal I remain at 40.00 or 50.00 till device is paid off
More flexibility with data plan if you don't have bill for a new device fee monthly on top of the 40.00 or 50.00 , it adds up though & they tend so far to bill 2 months at a time so its kinda weird if anyone did switch ask better questions then I did

I am totally confused by this all..

After 500mg lte is it unlimited 3g? because that isn't a bad deal. 3g isn't horrible and a lot better than edge. I would rather pay $40 for .5 lte and unlimited 3g than my $45 virgin play with 2.5g lte and then edge.

I am hoping to get a opo soon and switch to metro PCS because they are a little cheaper. They have an unlimited LTE plan for $60. I hope it is truly unlimited. I don't mind a soft cap so long as the let me know what it is ahead of time.

I honestly don't care about talk or text, all I need is data.
