Finally bit the bullet and purchased a Nexus 5 and prepaid SIM card and am now on the $30/mo 100 minutes + unlimited text/data plan. I still have my S4 with Sprint (which I'll probably keep for two months to compare coverage), so I haven't been using the phone as my primary (nor does anyone have my new phone number). But I have a question for those using Talkatone (or equivalent): are you only giving out your Google Voice number? How does this work for incoming calls? If someone calls and I am not on a strong wireless signal, I imagine weak 3G/4G/LTE will make the call sound terrible. Do you have to call them back using your T-Mobile number?

Doctor rear end in a top hat posted:It's just a regular call. When they call your GV number, it goes to Google's switch and Google forwards the call to your cell number. When you "call out" using your GV number, you're actually calling Google and they're forwarding the call to the number you want. Both ways still use up minutes. Oh, my mistake, I never installed GV on my phone, just Talkatone. So use GV when I don't have data, use Talkatone for when I do. And I guess just use Talkatone as my default SMS/MMS client.
