[QUOTE=Gulen;44876132]You should be on 3G then, that doesn't require a special sim card.[/QUOTE] If it's old enough, you actually need a different sim We had an old Samsung flip phone from back when 3G was new, and we needed to get a new one before 3G worked For some inexplicable reason, it also performed like absolute shit if you used an old sim card And I don't mean bad call reception or quality, I mean the entire phone would lag and take forever to load anything :v:
[QUOTE=ehheh;44852810]Hey guys, I have a question. Bought the Nexus 4 last year in March and after a few months - someone bumped into me and I accidentally dropped it onto the concrete - needless to say the phone was no longer useable (shattered glass, broken digitizer, LCD is still fine though.) So I sent it in to LG Repair Care (in May of 2013, not now.) And due to some miscommunications on both my part and LG's, my phone was sent back to me as is, unrepaired. Fast-forward to today, I'm getting tired of using a cheap flip-phone that has barely any minutes, spotty service, and just not that good - so I found my Nexus 4 and wondered if I should send it in for repairs for around ~$150 - or spend even moreso on getting a new phone, like the Nexus 5 or HTC One, which I could get either for $300 (HTC One M7 used for around $350.) Which would be the better route? I feel the Nexus 4 is still good for now and isn't vastly outdated, but I'm not quite certain[/QUOTE] Any help here?

My dad just switched to T-Mobile and his speed at home is absolutely balls bananas faster than mine. Time to switch?
[QUOTE=Gulen;44870241]Wait, what? What kind of retarded phone/provider do you have?[/QUOTE] You mean your phone keeps using data when you turn data off?? That's quite something.
[QUOTE=mobrockers;44877801]You mean your phone keeps using data when you turn data off?? That's quite something.[/QUOTE] SMS and phone calls are not data. Basic communication should still continue with mobile data offline. I know it works on Verizon since there have been days where I had to shut off my data entirely since I hit my data cap, and obviously I still had to communicate with people somehow.

So when you say messages and not snapchats, it kinda implies something completely different.

SMS stands for short messaging service yes, but whatsapp is also a messaging service, telegram is a messaging service, snapchat is a messaging service. I purposefully used the broader term messaging instead of texting. Texts are messages, not all messages are text.

Just say "I can't use whatsapp or snapchat when data is off, so I like to keep it on" instead of saying "well I just can't get messages." It's ambiguous.
Whatsapp is an IM service

It's ambiguous.[/QUOTE] It's pretty much the same thing here as virtually no one texts, everyone uses whatsapp or a similar service. I would effectively be cut off from my usual contacts, especially considering some of them live abroad and texting them would cost a fortune. And it's not just whatsapp, it's all messaging services I use except for texts, which I don't use. [editline]time[/editline] My phone would really effectively be useless as a device for communication as I would have no one to communicate with, without data.

It's not my fault I don't know "messaging" corresponds to [B]only[/B] whatsapp, telegram and snapchat for you.
Everyone I know texts, they rarely use Kik, Whatsapp etc. It's so much easier to just text.
[QUOTE=Chains!;44878164]It's so much easier to just text.[/QUOTE] Maybe for you, I find whatsapp/similar services easier because I can see when people are online and typing and have a fast conversation without having to wait for texts to go through. Also MMS is very glitchy, at least here, and its slow. I've also had occasions where SMS messages just get lost and aren't received, or are delayed by quite a while
MMS is really spotty. I just use Facebook Messenger to share photos now.
I usually use SMS since I don't have data but I usually end up chatting with people online in Hangouts, Skype and Facebook Messenger. It must be sad that most of the people I chat with online are random strangers from the internet and not my school friends..
Netherlands has above-normal levels of adoption when it comes to WhatsApp usage, I can easily understand how someone from Netherlands would seriously consider WhatsApp messages as their "messages".
I can't say I even know anyone who uses whatsapp
I use whatsapp to talk to pretty much everyone, even my dad uses whatsapp. I also send about 10K whatsapp messages a month, with 9K of those to friends in other countries, so texting would be very costly for me.
Pretty sure Whatsapp is a foreign thing, no one in the US really uses it unless it's to talk to people who use it overseas.
Popular in the UK for sure. Although Snapchat is FoTM amongst my peer group.

A lot of my friends only use KiK and refuse to use any other messaging service. It doesn't help that KiK the grossest of the messaging apps. Preferably I would use Hangouts.
Fuckin' phone app. I can call my voicemail, for example, but the little screen display doesn't react to touch. I can't hang up. I can't enter my voicemail password. It's stupid.
t-mobile charge premium rates for ringing your own voicemail. Don't miss being with them at all.
