Hopefully, someday the USA carriers will ditch the CDMA technology and join the rest of the world with GSM (which has about 75% of the world's phones). Then you will be able to use any phone with any carrier.

This line is getting tired. Which major USA CDMA carrier isn't currently in the middle of a transition to the GSM standard? LTE is 4G GSM, and Verizon, Sprint, and US Cellular are all in the process of rolling LTE.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Neglected-27494021 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 11:35:27 EDT Re: Neglected http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Neglected-27493096

$30/mo for 5GB data, unlimited text, and 100min
That's $720 for TWO years.

The lowest plan on ATT to offer 5GB of data and unlimited texting comes with 450 minutes (which I don't use) for $110/mo.
That's $2640 for two years.
Even if I went down to 3GB/mo, that would be $2160 for two years.

That means I save from $1440 to $1920 over two years.

Lordy me. That's a down payment on a nice car.

My Galaxy Nexus is on ATT right now, but i'll be back to (reliable) T-Mobile quite soon.

They neglected to say that if you switch from any postpaid carrier, including themselves, to a prepaid carrier you can save big bucks. I figure I saved over $1600 in the past 2 years by using an unlocked phone and prepaid service.
