How to get the Droid 4 for FREE!! - Motorola Droid 4

Ok you guys are not going to believe this. Since my wife is a data hog doing 40 gigabytes a month they gave her a Droid 4. She was using a 3G LG Ally
They said they want to get the heavy users off of the 3G network. So as an incentive they are giving discounts to people that are heavy users with 3g phones to upgrade to 4G usually 100 off. My wife was an extreme case so they gave her the droid 4 for free. How backwards and awesome is that? So moral of the story.... be a data hog and get yourself a free 4G device. LOL
I am hearing rumors that they want to clear 3g for I phone users because Iphone will not be receiving 4g!! Yikes Stinks to be an apple lover!!

Ha! So that's why my account got flagged for $100 off with an early upgrade!

I got no such deal. I got mine for the $200

LTE out again...

For about the 3rd time in 3 weeks LTE is out again. Of course each time when it goes I am assuming it is my phone and I do a complete wipe only to find out it is the service. I am about ready to go back to my droid x! Nationwide outage again according to VZ.
not just lte this time, 3g is out too. someone must've spilled coffee on the main server or something.
Yep no 3g or 4g in Toledo ohio
Out in Chicago also.
No 4g here in Olympia WA

Apparently this affects all phones differently. The samsung charge right next to me has rock solid 4g while I am getting 3g for about 5 out of every 10 mins on my bionic.

Seems like VZ should give some kind of refund for every day the service is down. This is beginning to get a bit absurd. I have unlimited data for $19.95 and it still ticks me off.

This must be why i lost 3g about 230 this morning and it has popped up working again around 8 but is rather jumpy...
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
Call them and ask. But be warned. If you pay $19.98 and you were down for a day, the refund is $0.66.
Yeah, I lost it early this AM in Los Angeles as well. I'm not pissed because I'm happy it wasn't my phone.....
No problems down here in southeast texas. 3g/4g works no problems...
4g/3g in Philly, when my phone gets around to it

Razr, Razr, Razr lol. Mine was $200 with my upgrade. I was gonna get it from BestBuy for only $149 but I found out that if you buy a phone through a 3rd party, they have all rights to change your plan and you could very well end up losing your unlimited data (if you have it). I paid the extra $50 and went to Verizon.

Boycott unlimited data throttling!

I got the dreaded at&t text today. So in retaliation I'm boycotting by shutting my phone off for April fools day! Please join me!

Think about it at&t has 17 million unlimited users not counting T-Mobile, some places don't have Wi-Fi. So you have to use your unlimited data plan.

How is not using your internet connection for a day any kind of protest? Aren't you just applying 100% throttling to yourself - doing the very thing you're actually protesting against, but more so than the people you are trying to protest?
Protest.
Turning off your phone saves them money, you're not using their towers. You'd be better off constantly using your unlimited data once throttled - stream, torrent, whatever - because that'll actually hurt them. Or switch carriers.
But if you don't wanna use your phone for a day, by all means...

I fail to see how saving At&t money by turning your phone off is a boycott? Unless its an early April fools joke by suggesting that? I fear when Verizon follows AT&T and starts throttling us. I'm averaging 24-26GB a month. No I don't tether either, and I switch to wifi when its available. 35ishGB if you include data when on wifi. They advertise blazing fast LTE (and Verizon lte is extremely fast) and then cap it. Now home internet companies are starting to cap? Why are we regressing in technology not moving forward?

I used 326 gigs one month. Lots of tethering and torrents.
The last month I was on at&t I raped the data. Spanked their mothers' mothers. It was insane that month.

Well best of luck to you then. Not sure why your going to an iphone if you "need something to mod bigtime" though. Is there that much you can do to mod an iphone? Maybe I'm just uninformed. Also, sorry, I can hijacked your thread didn't I...
Sorry i wasnt very clear as i was driving lol. But the things that i like to do most with my phones im unable to do on this droid 4. One of my older phones was the htc hd2 and ran the core cell rom which was badass. Being that d4 will never see an unlocked bootloader means that modding will be minimum. I may be misunderstanding so please correct me if im wrong.
Sent from my DROID4 using xda premium
And hijacked? No not at all. Im trying to gather as much info as possible about what my future options may be with this phone if i were to keep it. I love everything about it. Iphone has an app via cydia called udidfaker that allows certain game players to run multiple accounts from one device. Android is unable as far as i know

There isn't actually that much that can be done with an iphone. Basically you have custom themes, jailbroken apps and free apps(if you're into that kind of thing) not much else.
As a motorcyclist, seriously, don't do it. I don't care if you wind up with an iPhone or a Droid4, but I don't want to wind up on your hood.
Honestly speaking i dont text and drive. I do service work and will usually wait till my next stop to even read them much less type and drive. I was just being silly. And i too ride. So everyone plz chill.

On another note. I found a trader for my droid for their iphone 4. The iphone 4 is a 3g phone and requires a micro sim. I believe my droid also uses a micro sim so can i use my 4g micro sim in the iphone 4 which is 3g?

Yup, but don't expect for the iPhone to work on Verizon, since they don't have a 3G GSM network.

Sent from my DROID4 using xda premium
The MicroSim on the Droid is a LTE SIMcard. The SIM Slot on the iphone is only for use abroad. The iphone does not have 4G LTE capabilities. You might want to consider a new support forum to get all your questions answered on your iphone. Android power users don't like to deal with dumbphones.

Distracted driving isn't something to be silly about, it's a very serious problem in today's culture.
Did u not see where i said i dont text and drive? That i make plenty of stops in a day to not have to read or respond to my texts immediately?
Read a bit closer next time before feeling the need to open your mouth and comment on something that you dont know is true or not. I said i was being silly by saying i was a master texter. Then also said that i dont text and drive and explained why. Get with it bud!

Exactly, all these new plans Sprint is coming out with end up costing us more money than the plans we already have so why would we switch to them.
This is really tempting since T Mobile has better coverage and more 4G where I live than Sprint.
I'm going to scope it out. Might be something to jump on.
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk
Well I went to the website to check out how much it would be for 2 lines and it would end up costing more on T Mobile. First off you HAVE to finance a device or pay the full price up front. So 2 lines with unlimited everything comes up to $120 per month plus if I were to get 2 HTC Ones that would be an extra $50 per month. So $170 before taxes and fees. I think you have to buy the insurance also but I'm not sure. I'm going to go into a TMobile store and check it out for sure though.

I don't understand why people think these no contract plans are any better than signing a contract.
Why would you want to be on the hook for paying off a 600$ device rather than paying a 200$ early termination fee..
Sprint has the cheapest plans of the major providers flat out, and the network is improving quickly

Exactly. Good info for those who want it. Those who don't shouldn't complain, just stay where they're at. Already sent a link to a friend who was talking about jumping ship from Verizon.
Sent from space...
Yeah I'd rather have my text messages send and receive normally. Past T-Mobile people I've texted have told me of "texting issues" and the whole "edge" thing. No thanks, if my LTE drops, at least 3G is faster than edge. And I'm not giving up my unlimited 4G LTE & tethering. As for upgrades... If I really want the phone like my two HTC Ones then I pay full price. T-Mobile sounds good and all but i know there's a catch there some here. And Sprint made me happy thay my AT&T friends with extreme speeds sometimes ask me to lend my portable hotspot when their LTE drops to HSPA or Edge.

I went to a T-Mobile store today to inquire about it. What kills it for me is that you HAVE to purchase a device from them, and our Ones are only worth $106 in trade-in. Doesn't seem fair when I could sell it on CL for $275. The cost would work out roughly the same. $86/month. They also don't pay the ETF directly. You have to cover it, then you get a prepaid MasterCard in 4-8 weeks. So to start the plan, you're looking at potentially hundreds of dollars.
Yeah, it's contract free, but it's not really worth it in my opinion. Sprint does just fine in Metro Atlanta, and as much as I feel I'm getting boned by them, it's the smallest in the long list of dicks that are phone companies.

Yeah, what he said! I work in Pendergrass, Geogia, which is about 90 miles north of metro Atlanta, and formerly a 3G area if I was lucky. Within the last four months it has gone from spotty 3G to 2 bars of LTE. And that's literally out in the boonies. That much improvement that fast is worth hanging around, especially with the whole Mastercard bait and switch crap. Sprint is really earning my business these days. My penny and a half...
