发帖数: 3319 | 1 请问iphone 6+ 用H2O sim card是否最好买AT&T全价机？
今天去Best Buy, 本想买Verizon iphone 6+全价机，可是verizon salesman说，如果
用AT&T related sim card, 打电话没问题，但在美国使用data会比用Verizon本公司的
sim card慢。international使用没有什么影响。不知他说得是否正确？我如果用H2O
sim card, 是否最后还是买AT&T iphone 6+全价机而不要去买其他carrier的？
多谢大家。 | s****s

原因很简单, 网络制式不一样,解码机制不一样, v机适合解码cdma, 解码gsm没问题,
但用起来肯定影响流量速度.
不过这个问题需要用过的人确认. | F**********3
发帖数: 319 | 3 Don't think so. It might make sense if we are talking about different phones
(to be specific, different baseband from different vendors). But for iphone
, they all use the SAME chip (from qomm), just with frequency bands turned
on and off for different carriers. | a*****0
发帖数: 3319 | 4 多谢两位。刚才联系了H2O customer support, 他们又说data 速度不受carrier 影响
。请问买iphone 6+ 全价机，用h2o sim card, 最好买哪个carrier的？还是直接从
apple order
T-mobile unlocked的更好？多谢。

国内的电信联通2,3,4g也都没问题。

发帖数: 319 | 11 What you said is only true if V and T shares certain band. That means, for
certain band, V uses it as 4G and T uses it as 3G. But carriers are not
sharing bands.

发帖数: 208 | 13 1) H2O only has HSPA+ (3.5G) speed. They don't have offer LTE speed yet.
2) only way to get iPhone without calling phone company is to 1. buy
unlocked t-mobile from apple.com and pay full price and 2. get Verizon
iPhone. Otherwise, you need to call phone number to get unlocked.
3) Also, I don't know that's true or not, according to H2O website, it won'
t let iPhone without monthly plan. However, you could try Black Wireless, a
submvno of H2O. It allowed iPhone on its network if you use pay as you go
plan. | a*****0
发帖数: 3319 | 14 多谢各位的帮助。
I chatted with H2O wireless customer support. The support said I could use
their data function on iphone 6 with either pay as you go or monthly plan.
By the way, Does Black Wireless have the same quality as H2O wireless? Does
H2O wireless' sim card apply to their service or does the user have to get a
new sim card?
According to all your responses, I could buy a full-priced iphone 6+ from
whichever carrier I like, and the carrier I'll pick would not affect the
data speed when I use the H2O wireless sim card. But for the convenience of
future possible international travel, it might be better to buy from Verizon
, since it has more frequency bands. Do I understand your responses
correctly?
Really appreciate all your help.

发帖数: 208 | 15 Since you pay full price, I assume that you want to an unlock phone that
work internationally.
This is my opinion. The best choice is Verizon iPhone since it works
Verizon and its mvno (PagePlus), AT&T and its mvno (H2O, Black wireless, etc
) and T-Mobile and its (mvno, red pocket). It won't work on Sprint since
Sprint won't allow it. However, it is a little bit work. You need to sign
up Verizon phone plan then cancel after 14 days, then pay half month bill
and ETF for breakup the contract.
The second option and simplest option to buy t-mobile unlocked from Apple.
com. It will work on AT&T, AT&T mvno (H2O), t-mobile and its (mvno, red
pocket). It won't work on Verizon and Sprint not because it does not have
necessary bandwidth but because Verizon and Sprint considered them "foreign
phone".
If you buy directly from t-mobile, sprint or AT&T directly, you need to call
phone companies (or hacker) to get the phone unlocked.
Black wireless offer exact same plan as H2O, that's why it is called submvno
of H2O. When I did research, I saw on H2O website that claim it won't
allow iPhone data without monthly plan.
https://www.h2owirelessnow.com/mainControl.php?page=IPhoneData. So I
didn't want to take chance. So I spent $10 dollar on H2O using an android
phone Xiaomi 2S. The speed is horrible. I don't know it is due to H2O pay
as you go plan or due to Xiaomi 2S problem. It may be possible that iPhone
is ok on H2O. I just don't know.
What I did try is to use iPhone on Black Wireless. I was able to get 3MB
down and 1MB up after spending $10 on pay as you go plan, which is HSPA+
speed. | j*****0

发帖数: 3319 | 18 Thank you so much for your detailed information and advice,very helpful!
I'll buy a Verizon iphone 6 plus 64GB with full price.
The salesman from Verizon I met at BestBuy today said using H2O sim
card in Verizon Iphone would have slower data transfer. But the H2O support
I chatted said the H2O data transfer is the same for iphones of different
carriers. I don't know which guy is right. The Verizon support also said I
need to stay in their plan for 30 days instead of 14 days. I'll contact a
Verizon dealer and make it clear.
For the data service of H2O wireless, I pasted the same link which showed
that monthly plan should be configured for data service. But the H2O support
said their data service applies to either pay as you go or monthly plan. I'
ll see when I get the phone in about a month, or contact another H2O support
when I have time.
Thanks again for your kind help.

发帖数: 208 | 19 If you want Verizon version of iPhone, you want to buy iPhone at Verizon
store. Please avoid Walmart and Radio Shack. Walmart and Radio Shack force
you sign another store contract, which require much longer stay (up to six
months) on Verizon contract. I don't know about best buy and you may need
to ask them. I don't know what's term if you purchase at apple store
directly.
On the second thought, it is easy to make mistake and get big bill. If you
have no intended to use Verizon and/or Page Plus, I would just buy unlocked
version of t-mobile from apple.com and call it the day. | a*****0
发帖数: 3319 | 20 Thank you so much for your suggestion. Yeah, if it's too much hassle to
