So from wirefly it would be 150 bucks per phone. Is that the best deal? Someone explain to me how much would be the total money put in as far as getting it from best buy. Would it end up same as wire fly? Better? Worse? Thanks.

I dont trust Wirefly and their additional terms......so one day you wake up and they have nabbed $400 from you because some CSR accidentally removed a feature from your line....or you decided to move devices between two lines on your own account.......meh....I'd rather pay an extra $50

I have purchased the last 3 phones from Wirefly, got a better deal, and never had an issue.

I keep seeing 4g Lte, is this phone able to do both? If not why do they market with such wording.
The problem is a few of the US wireless carriers have for years been advertising their HSPA+ networks for instance as 4G. TMobile and ATT were particularly bad at essentially lying to the consumer. It was truthfully really fast 3G or 3.5G as i have seen it called. It was a bit comic when ATT launched their true LTE 4G network. Like they've been claiming 4G all along, how do they say that they now have "real 4G" without admitting they were misrepresenting all those years.

LTE is 4g. It's not two different things. Wimax is 4g too (sort of) but it says 4g LTE so you know it isn't Wimax like the Epic 4G Touch and the old Evos

Thanks guys for the response, then for me it is better just to stay with the ET4, cause if I get the GS3 I will pretty much be with only a 3g phone. I dont have 4g where I live might only connect 5 time a yr if that when I am at other location and I will never get Lte coverage.

I know people are going to get pretty mad when they find out they lost 4g service on the phone when they had it in the first place, and now got replaced with a Lte radio but their area is never going to see Lte so they are stuck with a 3g phone.

3g=dialup <-----it is that slow in my area.
4g=3g
Lte=4g
