You can use a VPN to order the Nexus 4... padna of mine ordered his this way. Once your CC works with google wallet, it will work and the address in the US is your skybox addy

That looks like the incorrect model, though many methods would be identical

Go over to XDA, in correct model thread. You would get correct info and stock official Roms, and will be done in 5 minutes

I just got my S3 and I don't see any update to 4.1.2..anyone else had that problem? I'll root and flash a ROM soon but until I have the time I want it updated.

Also what cases do you guys recommend? I'd buy an Otter Box but this phone is like a Me2 now and I don't wanna have the same case as everyone else to top it off.

cant justify that extra 200$ on my bill since theres wifi everywhere now. i.e. bzone, all restaurants, home, school, etc.

CHILDD!!!!

Bmobile have 4G plans for 275 a month that includes 200 mins and 200 texts + 4G AND they give you 50 extra minutes for so so its 250 mins in total, what plan you have now ?

I understand. Used to think like that too but once you get used to 4g it's hard to imagine waiting for a webpage to load up.

This plan is how much data?

[S_2NR]

how much for the 2g plans now? did they see any drop in price or is it still 150$ for unlimited 2g?

i have a corporate plan that comes with 100 minutes, 25 texts. And i also get the 50 free bmobile to bmobile minutes.
All my minutes and texts are usually done by the 3rd week in my billing cycle.
My usage is normally like 5000+ my lime minutes and 300 regular minutes. Dont send much texts, have whatsapp for that. If i send 50 texts for the month thats plenty. So i dont NEED 200 texts/month.

My bill never crosses $200. ever. My plan base price is 75$. Additional charges never exceed $120 with the estimated usage i outlined above.

If i take that plan my bill starts at $275 (VAT EXCLUSIVE)

Thats the smallest package they have?

[Stephon.]

5GB

In contrast to the last post i made on the forum, I'm pleased to announce that Samsung's Galaxy S lineup has sold a total of ONE HUNDRED MILLION devices world wide.

It’s been a big week for Samsung’s mobile division, but the company has one last milestone to share: it has sold more than 100 million Galaxy S devices to date. According to Samsung, the 30 million Galaxy S III figure we heard back in November has Jumped to 40 million over the past two months, tying the lifetime sales of its successful Galaxy S II handset. The S III also sold twice as quickly during its first five months on the market, with 20 million channel sales compared to 10 million for the SII. The original Galaxy S is no slouch either, having sold 24 million units since it was released in June, 2010.

The news follows some major announcements for Samsung, including its 110-inch 4K "Floating" TV and 8-core Exynos 5 Octa processor. The latter is expected to run faster and up to 70 percent more efficiently than the company’s current fastest mobile chip, the Exynos 5 Dual, and hopes are running high for a Galaxy S IV with the new processor later this year.

I was in the same boat as you - I had the basic $75 postpaid voice plan from bmobile, and my bill usually never crosses $86.25 ($75+vat) unless I make overseas calls on it, and always had rollover minutes. Also, since the only place I don't have wifi is while I'm out or driving, I was looking for the cheapest data package possible since I won't need much.

The cheapest option to get postpaid 4G data on bmobile right now is to add the $179 5gb data package to it - about $24 cheaper than the $275 bundle, but less minutes and texts. Cheapest, but not necessarily the best value. bmobile also offers a Corporate 4G plan with rates cheaper than what Stephon. posted above, but I didn't want to tie my personal phone with my company.

If you want to add data cheaper on bmobile, you have to go prepaid, which I wasn't prepared to do for numerous reasons.

Digicel has cheaper postpaid 4G options, but I needed to keep my existing bmobile number.

[Rooki3]

bwdmc men want 4g data & complaining to spend a measly 275

[Stephon.]

And my family in America paying no less than 100 each for their phone bills and not complaining. Actually the average post paid phone bill in america with one of the major carriers is around 50 dollars minus the luxuries. Y'all better get with the times and out of the stone age!

[Rooki3]

s2nr does say t&t backward, want 1st world world ting but complaining bout price

Na na NAH I eh go condone any s2nr slander in this thread!!

[S_2NR]

what?
The most data intensive thing I use is whatsapp and email. I don't need 4g. Hence the reluctance to spend that money. Whatsapp works great on edge and so does email.

Lol @ first world and third world talk. U always that outta timing nooki3

May go the corporate route. Have to decide if a little more convenience worth it. Cuz everywhere I go have bzone now or some sort of WiFi. And once u have it saved it connects automatically. Only place I don't have WiFi is while I'm driving or stuck in traffic.

I had data before but now that I experience having a much lighter bill and using WiFi everywhere I go. It actually not that bad. Saving money for a lil inconvenience I.e. turning on WiFi is not that bad. If bzone didn't exist however, I would have taken 4g in q heartbeat.
