Solavei & Nexus 4 - 6 Months Later, an Honest Look at Network Preformance & Value. Tmobile MVNO

[@level27xrock]

Great, will do and thank you so much again for your nice videos and quick responses and advice! Much appreciated, I can't wait to give my carrier the finger and be in total control of my phone usage and not overpay double per month

Actually I have been digging deep the last few days to get LTE working on my solavei SIM, thus far I have not gotten it to work. (I have a Tmobile SIM, which I was able to force my way onto the new LTE network for a few minutes.) LTE is in Engineering only mode in my town right now. I have posted more about this here: (See new link in video description) (I am doubleatheman on those forums)

I joined Solavei in December based on your last video (you're my sponsor). I have the Nexus 4 too. Works great. I read that Solavei will offer 4G LTE when T-Mobile rolls it out this year, and that the LTE band T-Mobile will be using is supported by our phones. Do you know if this is true? Thanks for the video!

Finally a new video!!!

[@level27xrock]

Ahhh That is right I totally forgot about that. Great thank you so much for the quick reply, as I am watching a few phones on Ebay right now, so if I can get a good deal on a GS3 i9300 I'll go for that just for expandable storage sack, but other than that I'll grab a N4. One more quick Q, how has the battery life been on your N4? I'm kind of out and about a lot and don't wanna be tethered to a wall, Thanks again

Yeup, Best of luck! (You caught me right as I was getting ready to turn my PC off for the night, I was out and about all day, Normally I'm slow to respond on my videos.)

Hey! I've just discovered solavei thanks to your video. I just have one question, what type of carriers work with solavei? as in can you use tmobile phones, verizon, att, and sprint?

[@level27xrock]

I will join Solavei soon, for saving money purposes, not MLM yet. & I am looking around for a phone to get, either a international Galaxy S3, Unlocked gsm GNex or a N4. Price points being a big concern here for me, as I need to save what I can. Do you have a recommendation between the 2 Nexus phones on the network? I heard you say you used Solavei on a GNex and had no probs. Spec differences aside, is getting a Gnex worth it to save $ or should I just spend an extra $100 and get a N4

[@doubleatheman]

Solavei works with any Unlocked GSM phone. (Old unlocked ATT phones & tmobile phones.)

[@doubleatheman]

The Gnex is not HSPA 42 capable, so it will preform at half the speed that the Gs3 and N4 would in most areas. The GNex was fine, speeds of 3-9mbps in most areas, but my N4 is much faster. (Again were talking about HSPA 21 vs HSPA 42: HSPA 42 allows a phone to use double the bandwidth, which = double speed.) All in all get the N4, the Nexus 4 was practically built for the Tmobile/Solavei Network.

[@level27xrock]

Haha nice! I probably missed you now, but on the ebay page and doing some research looks like the Mhz is 1900 & 2100 on the international GS3. But the sources do say HSPA+, so... I'm not sure haha

[@doubleatheman]

Personally and Honestly.... I am tethered to a wall all the time. The battery Life on the N4 is poor. (I am rooted however, and running a less efficient rom) The GS3 would have better battery life. Do however check to make sure the GS3 international has HSPA AWS support (1700mhz & 2100Mhz), I'm not sure it does off the top of my head.
