    Great advantages and deals for this tablet.

    Is sold at TMobile and its subsidiary Metro. Let's focus on the latter: 1. If you already have service, you can add one for each phone line you already have. Costs you $50 and $10 monthly unlimited. 2. By porting in you can have completely free 2 phones + this tablet @ $100 month plus free...

    Requesting dedicated thread for ZTE Blade 10 Prime

    Has high medium/ low flagship specs, including NFC(which most sites erroneously deny), and is available for next to nothing- depending on deal $20 to $100ish to 200ish. It's by far the cheapest close to flagship phone from amongst all carriers, and cheaper than most budget offerings.

    Requesting a dedicated forum Visible cellular carrier, a Verizon subdivision, it's the best prepaid

    Way better than Metro, and I stand by that. There's a lot of conflicting info about it on the web, I'm willing to do an extensive write-up.

    Help Text & Call glitches

    Post patch: Data connection drops fixed(although with very high latency at times), BUT NOW: 1. Things come and go in bunches: some calls don't come in...later on a bunch of missed calls appear.

    Wish List - Zmax Pro 2

    Very unlikely, Axon 7 not that far ahead spec-wise. Anywho: Increase 6'', whatever little bit ok. Ditto Resolution. Ditto Ram. Ditto Storage. OTG NFC IR Removable Battery. Native support for Tmo Digits. The next version upgrade of Band Aggregation. Unlocked Bootloader. Your thoughts?

    Friendly Phone Unlock Tip

    Both Tmo & Metro preinstall a Device Unlock app. On Metro- after passing 90 days of consecutive service w/o arrears - open the app and follow instructs. It's super easy and almost Instantaneous.

    Help Metro Pcs @ ZTE ZMAX Pro Network Connection Trip Report: Amtrak- NY to VA

    WHY: Phone suffers connection problems(NYC). This is counterbalanced by the fact that when it is connected, the speeds are incredibly outstanding. Before exchanging, curious to see how it performs in other areas during this pre-planned train trip. PS disconnects fairly infrequent with LTE Off...

    Unlimited Uncapped Tether threads

    I want to go on record opposing all these type topics. NOTHING good can come of it / we're ALL going to suffer eventually. First of all, the fixes are nothing new... they can be found "across the street" for all models / carriers ad nauseum. Those threads there are ongoing for years... the...

    Any issues, complaints, compliments. I'll start with: In-pocket case can open enough to trigger lockscreen on, then case cover recloses... repeatedly. When Lockscreen on, it keeps telling the case cover that its fingerprint not recognized, then to wait xx seconds before retrying... After so...
