Go figure.

Thank goodness for all the Verizon logos! >_>

God forbid I don’t see the verizon logo once a day.

As for the outside the country part I honestly didn’t look too much at that. They do have an unlimited international plan for $60/mo but I think that’s to call other countries. You would need to check with them for that I think. As for the other cons… I honestly can’t think of them. I guess it’d just come down to how strong AT&T or T-Mobile is in your area. If they aren’t that great that’d be a con.

Take a look over this. The site has all the important info, and contact info for any other questions. I can’t really say anything from personal experience, but like I said before I’ve been looking at this for a couple months now and this seems like it’s going to be the best for me.

Besides the lack of customer support, but I don’t really care about that. For example, can you roam outside of the country and still use the same networks that AT&T phones would use, and can I keep my phone number from Verizon?

You can set one up and not have to worry. And yes, you get the same service. Looking at the phones that you can buy from them one has 4G HSPA+. Not LTE, but from what I hear it’s about the same. I’d expect the Nexus 4 would be able to take full advantage of that.

Also will it have the same service as an AT&T phone if I choose to use AT&T towers?

There aren’t dedicated stores you can go to for support so they don’t need people to staff them and thus don’t need to charge as much to be able to pay them all. As long as you are good with figuring out your own problems (or know the right places to look for answers) this is perfect. Also, it’s contract free so you are only going one month at a time. If another pre-payed pops up in your area with a better deal you can just switch. No $200 ETF or anything. Just get the other place’s sim card and pay for a month. Both have their pros and cons. Do research into all the options and see what is best for you. There have been lots of news posts around the Android world recently about pre-payed. I started looking into the options a loooong time ago to get my plan made up well in advance. I’m just glad Google did what I expected they would do with making the first version available a GSM one.

I’ve heard lots of information one way or another about what the unlimited data actually is for it and it seems to me that as long as you don’t constantly over indulge you should have no problem. It’s $45/mo pre-payed. You get the choice of either getting a sim that goes through T-Mobile, or AT&T’s towers. T-Mobile doesn’t exist where I live so it’s AT&T towers for me.
