I am fed up with AT&T. What is the best provider to switch my iPhone 4s to?

My wife and I would like to switch from AT&T's high prices and I was wondering which provider is the best to switch to. I use data a lot and she doesn't, we have niners in different area codes and would both like to keep them, and I want reliable service without it breaking the bank

#1. Understand that if you switch carriers, you can NOT take your existing iPhone with you. It won't work. You will need to purchase a new one.
#2. Your only choices are Sprint and Verizon. Decide who has the better coverage in your area. Keep in mind that you will NOT be able to get simultaneous voice and 3G data on either of these, as their CDMA networks do not support it. The U.S. T-Mobile network is not supported and is not fully compatible with the iPhone as it operates on a rarely used frequency compared to the rest of the world.
#3. What in the world are "niners"? Do you mean you want to be able to keep your existing "phone numbers"? If so, that should be no problem. Most numbers in the US are now portable.
#4. Consider WHY you want to switch. If the issue is really price, you're not going to see much of a difference. A few dollars a month at best for comparable voice and data plans.

  • With supervised ipads, what is the best way to transfer photos and videos from the ipad to the PC? Wireless transfer is not an option in our circumstances

    With supervised ipads, what is the best way to transfer photos and videos to the PC? Wireless transfer is not an option in our circumstances.

    There are only two ways of transfering things on the iPad.
      - via WiFi
      - via usb cable
    From what I have read, you need to connect to iTunes on the supervising PC.

    Depending on how long the site has been active, it may be
    already
    spidered by search engines and cached. However, for the most
    part, I
    usually use my FTP program OR even Dreamweaver itself (now
    that I can)
    to delete files on the server just as I do locally. Hit the
    delete and
    confirm

  • What is the best place to do an iphone speed test?

    What is the best place to do an iphone speed test? I hear some sites are not so accurate.
    I ask because i would always have speeds above 750 kbps but now im not getting more than 400kbps after i updated to 2.0.2 . I just wanna double check that my speeds actually did suddenly drop with the update.

    I am not sure these numbers are good, but I did some tests on my phone with different settings. All bars full on both Wifi, 3G and Edge using Telia here in northern Sweden (using above site):
    Wifi Download: 4.25 Mbps (4245 Kbps / 518 kB/s) transferred 2304 KB in 4.4 sec.
    Wifi Upload: 0.9 Mbps (972 Kbps / 119 kB/s) transferred 512 KB in 4.31 sec.
    3G Download: 1.17 Mbps (1177 Kbps / 143 kB/s) transferred 1280 KB in 8.9 sec.
    3G Upload: 0.16 Mbps (156 Kbps / 19 kB/s) transferred 512 KB in 26.81 sec.
    Edge Download: 0.2 Mbps (199 Kbps / 24 kB/s) transferred 256 KB in 10.5 sec.
    Edge Upload: 0.06 Mbps (60 Kbps / 7 kB/s) transferred 256 KB in 34.8 sec.
    Maybe the numbers would be different if there were a similar test site in Europe, as I often find any speed tests depends on the physical location of the test server.

  • What's the best way to charge my iPhone 5

    Hi what is the best way to charge my IPhone 5?  Should I wait for battery to completely drain first?

    NO.  Lithium batteries degrade far faster with deep cycle discharge/charges than with shallow cycles and more frequent charging.
    Try to avoid deep cycles as much as possible.  Otherwise, charge it whenever is convenient to do so.  You cannot overcharge it so you can leave it plugged in when convenient to do so as well.  Nor can you charge it too frequently, and even a partial charge is fine as well.
    I have chargers at home, at work and in the car, and plug mine in whenever I know I am going to be staying in one of those places for awhile, and I never really pay any attention to the charge state when I do so.

  • What is the best "insurance" option for an iPhone?

    Hey all. So I'm almost at the point where I can finally afford getting myself an iPhone and I definitely don't have the funds to be able to replace it if something were to go wrong. So I'm wondering what is the best insurance plan for an iPhone? I'm not the clumsiest person, but I have been known to drop a gadget every once in a great while and I definitely don't want to break an iPhone.
    Apple obviously has AppleCare, but that doesn't cover physical damage. I know Best Buy's covers accidental damage, but that's 15 bucks a month...more than I'd like but that's a nice incentive. Are there any other good options that would cover physical damage? I used to work for Best Buy and I've never had any trouble with their BTP plans, I'm just not a huge fan of the idea of paying 15 bucks a month. Any other plans I don't know about?

    Safeware http://www.safeware.com/ specializes in laptop, etc coverage, including smartphones. I bought a laptop policy from them around 2002, but since I never had to claim on it, cannot speak as to their customer service or anything. A google on "smartphone insurance" may turn up more specialized companies.
    I recently noticed, and it was total news to me, that one of those credit cards I picked up in college for the free t-shirt and have had for 10-15 years, includes insurance coverage for my mobile phone. This particular card is branded AT&T and doubles as a calling card, and I'm guessing that's why. I haven't checked into the details, but people might keep an eye out for something random like that.
    I should ask my renter's insurance about the phone.

  • What is the best way to switch off Daylight Saving Time?

    What is the best way to switch off Daylight Saving Time for a DST enabled timezone?

    I've been looking through the related classes and can't seem to find a way to disable DST in any timezone. Probably because they couldn't think of a good reason to want to know what the non-DST time was during DST.
    However, you could easily compute the time without DST if that's what you need.

    what's the best way to charge my iphone 6 for the first time ?

    Just charge it to 100%.
    Use it on the charger when possible. Recharge when the battery is around 50% when possible. Avoid to let the battery go down below 20%.

  • What is the best GPS app for an iPhone 4s?

    What is the best GPS app for an iPhone 4s?

    There are several things to consider.  For instance many GPS apps download maps on the fly.  If you don't have an unlimited cellular data plan this can use a lot of your data allotment.  Other apps like Tom Tom and CoPilot Live save all the maps on the device.  The maps will take up a lot of memory on your iPhone.  I use CoPilot Live Premium and the maps take up about 2GB of memory. 
    Then there is a matter of cost.  Most apps that download maps on the fly are free or a very low cost.  The ones that store the maps on the iPhone generally cost more.
    I use Copilot Live Premium HD US because it gives me all the features I need for a relatively low cost, about $20 USD.
