Those of you that have it what do you think?
I know they had the sale awhile back and several people switched, so now what is your experience. My current plan expires in 2 months so starting to think of making the switch.

I would like to know this myself. I noticed on their service map they show my home as 4g and I have LTE service here now.

Poster jivey, I met at CDB and he had it before the sale. He loved it and the phone was very nice. He works overseas a lot and talked about how he can still call and text. Said nothing but positive things about the phone, the plan, etc....

I currently pay 80 bucks a month for
3GB data
400 anytime minutes, plus rollover
unlimited text

I've hd it for about 6 months now and love it.

It would only cost you $50 for the 3gb you already have and unlimited talk/text.

They even just announced that US Cellular's network is now a part of Fi. So now Fi users will be able to use the best of sprint/t mobile/us cellular wherever they are.

I love it....haven't really found a con yet. I have a 3gb plan, last couple of months I haven't used much data, so my bill has been $30-40

SO and I have been planning on switching for a while now. Waiting on ATT contracts to expire.

Only drawback is for iPhone users since you csnt use an iPhone.

I have the Galaxy but would be switching phones as well and selling my S5 Active. Should get enough back to pay half of the phone since I want the 499 one.

I need to send you more beer but last time you had a mule

If they bought out plans I would have switched months ago but since they didn't it wasn't worth me buying out my AT&T.
In 2 months will they have a new phone? That is my main thing, I hate to buy a phone and then not even a month later the newest phone comes out.

Got it for my wife. Feels a little cheap but she's satisfied with it. I probably wouldn't be if it was mine.

I have had it about a month and so far so good!

Actually Hulk, I switched the sim card from my new Nexus 5x into my old iPhone 6 and it worked!

What feels cheap? The phone? It is a Nexus phone so it is not cheap to begin with.

I have the 5x and have very few complaints. I do wish that I had gotten the 6p but that's not a knock on the 5x. The service has been great. You can actually call and get help in a timely manner.

It works better after a factory reset but it had gotten so slow it was basically a brick.

Is that the only option? There's got to be some kind of app
