Simple Mobile to use T-Mobile's HSPA+ network?

January 14, 2011/Joe Pawlikowski

That’s an image from Simple Mobile’s website. It sure appears as though they’re gearing up for 4G. Since Simple Mobile is an MVNO of T-Mobile, that means T-Mobile’s high-speed, 21Mbps HSPA+ network. To tear down the fancy talk, that’s a really fast data connection. The only issue, as always with Simple Mobile, is getting your hands on an appropriate handset. Only a few of them have HSPA+ capabilities right now, and they’re all expensive off contract. Still, with $60 per month for unlimited everything it might be worth a high up-front investment.

    I am using it with the T-Mobil MyTouch 4g
    and it is great.
    Same service $30 less.
    So far, excellent decision

    Since I got simple mobile I have had nothing but problems with different things. And the thing that bothers me the most is that in one single night I called over 7 times for the same issue and on two of those calls I was told to call back because their system had dropped

    Will simple mobile be around after at&t takes over t-mobile ? since this is a mvno of t-mobile.

    I have a 15 day trial (voice and text only on the trial plan) with Simple on an unlocked Blackberry 9700 Bold. Works very well. Better than ATT at $129/month!!!
