Hi All!

I've been a Thunderbolt owner since the day it came out! I was one of the first to have it in my hands. I've been thru many ups and downs with my TB, its really been a love hate relationship, but she has served me well.

Recently a co-worker of mine schooled me on going pre-paid and how he loves the low monthly payments. I decided to start investigating and when I decided it was for me, I chose to go with the Nexus 4 and use t-mobiles Monthly4G as my provider. After 2 days I am very happy with a zippy phone and just a zippy service for just $30 a month! I'm never looking back!

Verizon is getting bigger and bigger and getting more money hungry by the day, i'm tired of it. Yes they have great coverage, but with wifi everywhere I go, I only really need the service when I am in my car, and t-mobiles speeds are no slouch for the price I am paying!

Look at my average speeds today using t-mobile

I can't complain with those speeds to be honest. Sure I wont get very good coverage if I leave a major metro area, but thats the beauty of going pre-paid, I am jump around to different providers whenever I want! If I get tired of T-mobile, I go to AT& or Straight Talk, etc... Also when I travel I am free to use this phone in any country!

I tell ya, its like breaking up from a really bad relationship lol

If anyone is interested, here are the available plans
Monthly 4G Prepaid Plans | Compare Prepaid Data Plans | T-Mobile

I get unlimited Data and Text and only 100 Minutes talk time for $30/month. It works for me because I dont talk much. If I go over its only 10 cents a minute and I can keep $20 in my account for overage which rolls over month to month if I dont use it.

If you have any questions let me know!

BTW the Nexus 4 is so much faster than my TB, its almost unreal. Apps install in just 2-3 seconds sometimes lol. I remember when the TB was one of the faster phones out there, tech really moves fast!

Cheers!
 
Hi everyone, i´m a rookie in smartphone´s world, i recently received a htc TB, from a cousin, i live in méxico and since i got it i´ve been researching and moving around terminology and procedures to root, s-off, etc; i know it´s an ´old´ phone (released back in 2011), looks like i finally got it, right now, using revolutionary and not without many troubles, i rooted and s-off the TB, i flash recovery and the phone looks ok, so far; my trouble, as you can imagine, is how the heck can i perform what it´s called a sim unlock, if anyone of you can help me i would very much appreciate it, huge thanks in advance (any suggestions for best roms, recoveries, apps, etc will also be a great help;by the way i´m sorry for my writing mistakes (english is not my native tongue)). Thanks a lot again to everyone.
