I got in the 12-15Mb range if I recall correctly.
Touring the US With bands I've been pretty happy with my AT&T it would work most times that anyone else's did .. either we all had service or no one had service. a few times only AT&T had service ... a couple times only Verizon .. but that was honestly only once or twice ( over 12 weeks of touring the us coast to coast twice) But AT&T and Verizon always kicked Sprints ass. T-mobile was .. meh...Quote:

I have an Iphone 4s, but will probably go to the 5s. Not excited about the size or different charger, but from what I've seen, it's worth the trade off. And like clublights said, I expect I'll get used to it.
I'm leaning toward Verizon or T-mobile, but still need to do more research.
Oh I forgot earier ( just reread your original post)
The Camera in the 5S kicks the 4S's cam square in the teeth ... major improvement .

you can put in all the stuff for your phone and they will give you an estimate.
a 4S 32MB on AT&T is going for 199 right now. so it's the same as when I got mine .. I think .. I can't find my receipt and I normally have apple e-mail them .. weird anyways
go see what your's is worth to sell to apple they give you a gift card on site and the you turn around and buy your new phone they help with activation the whole 9 yards .
Awesome advice, thanks!!Quote:

I was hoping to avoid switching carriers since I am locked into a pretty good "unlimited everything" plan and have four lines on it. (Including two kids in their early twenties who live on their phones.)
Thanks for all of the advice.
I also have Sprint, we were having some issues with the service at home. They sent us a booster tower which is hooked directly to our modem. They sent it to us with no fees, now we have super fast web surfing (faster than my laptop at times). I'm sure most people who have IPhones love them, but I have a Galaxy which does pretty damn good. My daughter's said they would like an iPhone if it had Swype.
I bailed on Sprint. Got tired of their endless promises that 4G was coming. They, by far, have the worst 4G coverage in the Denver metro market.
Carrier is most important, the phone is secondary.
The last two phone bills I had through Verizon were over $400 for the month. Switched to Sprint and now the bill is down under $250.Quote:

I'm hoping now that they are starting to upgrade their system to 4G that my service will get better with a new 4G phone.
