Hello
Looking to transition my mom from her motorola razr (the legendary flip phone) to an actual smartphone -and i figure nexus 5 should be a good choice.
She's on t-mobile.
To "save" money, and also not get those t-mobile bloatware apps on the nexus, I think everyone would agree to buy it through google play store for 349$ (16gb).
My question/worry is....i saw a lot of threads (well not alot, just enough) about APN/LTE/something not working with the connection with T-mo.
So if i was to buy one from google, get it shipped to home, walk over to local T-mobile store, tell them i have brand new nexus 5, tell them to sell me a brand new sim card with LTE enabled for the N5 (no way razr sim carrd would work lolz!) - do you think my mom would experience any of such connection issue?
Because if i get it at T-mo, at the very least, those guys would "own up" to any issues i will have since i purchased it physically with them. Like i won't walk out without LTE and they will have no reason not to help me.
but if i get it online (not thru them) they will be less reluctant to help
what do you guys think about the connection issue in the first place?
thx!
