Tmobile contact about up. Need non contract /w existing phones

[Evilviking]

My contract with tmobile is about to be up. I'm looking for a non contract plan to use my unlocked tmobile galaxy s3 on. I haven't been happy with tmobile coverage at all in the Los Angeles area. I use about 2gb of data a month. So far I been eye balling aio and straight talk. Any suggestions? Thanks!

there are two versions of GS3 for T-mobile:

The T999 doesn't have LTE.

The T999L supports band 4 and 17 LTE. AT&T uses 2, 4, 17 for LTE.

Both supports AT&T's 3G/HSPA network

AIO allows you on AT&T's LTE network with a speed cap of 8mbps. straighttalk doesn't allow LTE. straighttalk does have LTE

I'd say StraightTalk is fine @ 3GB cap. You could always move to AIO if you need a higher data plan

Yea I have the t999 and my wife has the lte version from att.

There are so many pre paid plans to choose from. Virgin mobile, boost etc. I'm lost

straighttalk doesn't allow LTE.

Incorrect.

OP, you really only should look at the AT&T network brands: AIO and Straight Talk. See my thread about the two...

Go through this and see which plan might work out best for you (sort by carrier and look at AT&T):

They are all pretty close in price.

Do you need plan for both you and your wife? Net10 has a 2 phone family plan with 2.5GB data for $90 ($85 with autopay).
