T-Mobile DATA Plan Question ?? - Nexus One General

I currently have the Blackberry internet + 400 messages for $24.99.I just received my Nexus one today and checked the t mobile website for the android data service.Since when did the plan jump to $30 and no messages included?.
It used to be the same price when I had my G1.Will I be able to just use the Nexus one with the blackberry plan??

it's that way ever since the Nexus One was released. It's still $25 for G1, or mytouch.

So far my nexus is working just fine on the blackberry web plan.I'm not gonna change anything...don't want to loose the 400 messages.

I went from a MyTouch to Nexus and didn't change anything (even though someone told me I needed the Nexus data plan) and all is working well.

I went from Blackberry to Nexus and haven't changed my plan. Nexus works fine. Although I was trouble shooting some exceptionally poor battery life problems and on a different message board a couple people were indicating that battery life is affected poorly if you don't call TMO and have them switch something.
Sounded like crud to me, but a couple people were buying into it *shrug*

There is no Nexus data plan, there is only the Android Device data plan. Which is 30 bucks. So if you already have it your fine.

completely right.
it shows up as Android data or G1bogo data in the computers.
also for even more and even more plus, the pricing will be different.

It changed when the moved to the 'Even More' and 'Even More Plus' plans at the end of last year (I think that's when they did it). They also dropped the MyFaves at the same time.

Still using my suncom account with BB internet. Works fine no issues. Not changing a thing since I have unlimited everything for $59 a month.

Want to switch from iPhone to MyTouch! Help!!

First of all, myTouch is way cooler than the iPhone. It's only a matter of time before google rules the world.
I've searched the forums and still couldnt find all the answers I was looking for.
I currently pay only $70 per month flexpay with 600mins, unlimited txt and tzones. It all works flawlessly with my iPhone.
If I purchase a mytouch on ebay and just plug in my sim, why shouldnt it also work flawlessly? On tmobile.com I have a dumbphone listed so they shouldnt know right?
If they detect the myTouch from the IMEI and then block my data, can I have a Tmo rep do an IMEI switch?
What if I switch to the 19.99 internet plan?
,yea I had data for about 8 hours before I had to switch over to the android data (from smartphone data).
BUT im pretty sure you may be able to still use your iphone because I can still use data on my dash and shadow for a day without problems.
So yea you gotta have the android plan to use the phone. I have unlimited data and text for $34.,,,,,,,,,,
just call a rep or go into a tmo store and they'll change it over for you.
moved to the my touch from iphone 4 days ago
HI I bought the my touch 4 days ago.Rooted with 1 click method running Cyanogens 4.1.11.1 it works great but the t-zone will not work after a few hours and I don't want to pay $25 or $34 for data the $19 data plan will get block too and there not a lot of good apps so far so I may have to go back to my Iphone (that suck) Someone said i would have to change my IMEI # for t-zone to work and i don't think that can be done on the my touch.It is a cool phone just don't think i can pay that much for data. We will see maybe i change the phones when i go out for longer trips

Do you have to notify Tmo that you are switching from a G1 to N1?

When I bought my unsubsidzed G1 about 10 months ago I had to call Tmo and have them change my existing data plan for the G1. Now that I bought an unsubsidized N1, I'm wondering if I need to do the same thing. Do I need to call Tmo and notify them that I am switching to an N1 so that they can update my data plan for the correct phone?
I'm wondering this myself. My friend renewed his account, and I bought the nexus one off of him for 300 + traded my newer G1 for his older beat up G1.
I should be receiving it tomorrow. I'm gonna stick my sim card in and see what happens.
I had a G1, and when my Nexus arrived I just popped in the sim card and everything was good to go. Data, sms/mms, and calling all work perfectly. I received mine on the 7th and haven't had any probs with that so far.
Had a G1 as well and didn't tell them anything.
When I went from my TMO Wing after getting my G1 I needed to contact them because they needed to provision the account for the G1 data plan (and vice versa when my G1 failed and needed the TMO Wing as spare til replacement). I was told by TMO Customer Care that the provisioning for the N1 was the same as for the G1.

They are the same data package...
I actually switched from the G1 planeuth myfavs to the $59,- plan. Saving me $20 a month.
No need to tell them anything, if you already have the data plan.
i've had a blackberry data account for years, switched to iphone without telling them and it worked, now i switched to the nexus one without telling them and it still works. maybe it was different with the previous android phones because they had direct control over them.
The data plan is an android data plan.. not only g1
My blackberry plan worked for a day on the MT3G and then I had to change to the android plan.
u dont have to tell em anything
Data plans are data plans. They just charge you more when you have a smartphone.
Having just gone through this, if you have the G1 data plan, you'll want them to switch it to the Android one. The cost is the same, and the only difference I've seen between the two is that the Android one has the Visual Voicemail, the G1 plan does not. I called up to get visual voicemail activated, took about 5 minutes, no real change to the account other than that data plan change.

Quite painless. But if you're on an existing "G1" plan, N1 will work fine on it. Just not Visual Voicemail... If you have Visual Voicemail working on your G1, you're probably already on the "Android" plan.
Cheers,
Kermee
remember to turn off wifi while setting up vvm for the first time on the n1...otherwise you will not connect to the tmo server...
No don't call T-mobile, they are anxious to get folks off the old G1 plan that has data and 400 text messaging. If you get swapped off this plan It will be at your own peril, you will have to pay $10 more for unlimited txt as they have no other plans also some of their newer plans require an activation fee, oh and once you switch you can't go back. Your phone should work just fine.

Yeah, if you're on this data plan/sms combo, you should stick with it. You all should be using Google Voice for vvm anyway... it's way more useful than T-mobile's app.
As a t-mobile employee I can say it's still best to call them simply to update your IMEI number, it's useful to do so as if you do have to call in for insurance, it's much easier. If there are any problems with the data, sometimes the IMEI is the issue.. so it's easier just to clear that up to start.
You don't have to change the plan to do that, you simply tell them you need to update your IMEI and you're fine.
Sometimes asurion reps will conference with T-mobile to verify the device on the account is the one you said.. so unless you want to replace the N1 with an older G1, making sure everything's up to date is your best bet =)
As far as the plans are concerned, not much diff aside from the VV, they're both android so it doesn't matter much. If you were previously on a blackberry plan however you could have some issues arise over time.
Hope I helped. ^_^
T-mobile and asurion will not replace an N1, as far as I know, because Tmo doesn't sell it.
I wouldn't tell them anything unless you put the sim in and things do not work. I'm using a $5 data plan that has been working for almost a week now.
If you talk to them, they WILL switch you to a more expensive plan. You WILL be screwed. Prices for Tmo CONSISTENTLY go up, and there is no reason to tell them anything unless it doesn't work.

ATTN.T-Mobile US-Keep your android data plan!

This is just an FYI to everyone who swtched from an android device to the HD2. YOU CAN KEEP YOUR CHEAPER DATA PLAN! they will try to tell you that the smartphone data plan and the android data plan are specific to the device and that one will not work on the other, but that is just not true. My android plan is $24.99 unlimited data and 400 texts a month the smartphone data plan is $30 with no texts. so after getting text messaging it's $10 more expensive. I swtch from my G1 to my HD2 all the time and the data works on both. Call up the customer loyalty group people and demand your android data plan back! they will give it to you if you keep at it. they switched me to the more expensive data plan after specificly telling them not to, i think its just an automatic system adjustment when you buy an HD2. but it can be switched back and it DOES WORK! dont be fooled by the CSR's they dont know what they are talking about. Spread the word!
This applys to anyone like me who has an old and cheap family plan and obviously not people with the unlimited everything plans
I'm set up the same way. Only issue is you will get some funky text messages for the vm notifications. Notifications on the wm phones still work, though.

I thought the same way, so I kept my Blackberry data plan for 25 dollars.
It didn't work properly. Internet was ok, but kept getting weird mms or email issues. changed to the 'proper' 30 dollar plan after 4 days, and I don't have that issue anymore.
As for how or why that happens, I don't know.

I haven't noticed any text messages for the vm notifications. I do have visual vm working on the HD2.
I wasn't actually aware of the price difference between the 2 data plans.
I actually switched back to Android data plan so I could try something on my HTC Dream and since the HD2 works as well... no reason to switch back.
I thought tmo us only offers 2 kinds of data plan. first one is for blackberry users and it's called blackberry network. the second one is for any other smart phone users. it's called the android network. even hd2 is a wm phone, it uses the android network.
its not that bad of a deal considering you pay 30$ for data and 5$ extra for unlimited text
yeah it's not that bad its only $10 more, but everytime they have a new phone or OS they add a new data service that is a little more expensive. first it was the BB data which i believe started at $20 then the android $25 that includes texts, now they have the smartphone data plan $30 w/ no texts. To me it seems that if you can keep whatever grandfathered in data plan and phone plan for that matter it will always save you money. If you dont keep the charges where they are at they will nickel and dime you to death! the funny thing is that i doubt there is much of a change in the actual service it just has a new name and a new price tag to with it. once HSPDA is available in Kansas City where Im at I would gladly pay more, but i dont see a reason for charging more for the same service.
oh and also, I have had zero issues with the android data plan on my HD2. it works exactly the same as it did before when I had the new smartphone data plan and didnt know it. once I fiqured out they switched my data plan I immidiately switched back to the android plan. I have had no weird VM notification issues or anything.
good point
Heh I rem making a post about this too.

Data plan costs the same. but if they give me the smartphone one, G1 internet dies.. However.. otherway around.. works fine.
t-mobile getting pretty close to at&t now with their data plans.i pay extra $5 now for unlimited web and text before i had the $35 unlimited data and text.i always thought data plans prices would go down day by day but i was defenetly WRONG.wondering how much carriers gonna charge for 4G datas?
I am looking at the HD2, presently have the iPhone. I am with T-Mobile and have the non-contract family plan (4 phones.) I have 750 shared minutes, unlimited Text, Unlimited Internet (my phone only) and pay $100.92/month.
I talked to T-Mobile at 2 different locations and they tell me something different.
If I buy a 2 Year contract I can get the HD2 for $199.00, but must pay $24.95 or $30.00/month for the data plan. They say that I can keep my other 3 phones without a contract. That equates to $240 more a year. However, I cannot just keep my unlimited Internet @ $10/month. I must get a data plan.
They tell me that I will be changed from the Unlimited Internet $10 to the Data Plan automatically when I use my phone.The 2 year contract does not bother me as I have used T-Mobile for years and will continue to do so unless I find a better plan.
My questions are:
1. What is the advantage of buying the HD2 at $500 vs $200 as you still have to buy the Data Plan? Apparently the 2 year contract.
2. Why can't I just buy the HD2 and use my old SIM card and continue under the plan I have? Will they really worry about my current Internet plan and get me for the Data Plan?
3. Is the HD2 better than the iPhone overall? I am very impressed with the HD2 and from what I have seen via YouTube, it is very slick.
I know I will receive different opinions, however, that is what I am looking for. Have had the MDA, Wing, Omnia and iPhone.
I value your opinions as I have been on XDA for years and have received very valuable information and Help! Thanks in advance.

dont know the difference between the $10 data plan and the $30 data plan but all i know i've been using the iPHONE 3g since it came out on t-mobile offcourse jailbroken,never thought i would go back to windows mobile till the HD2 arrived and i gave my iPHONE to my sister for good and never looked back cuz im shocked by the experience on the HD2 since i became a member on the XDA.thanx to XDA i've tweaked the HD2 and loving it and looking forward to the end of this year for XDA to flash WM to ANDROID 2.1 on the HD2.as far on buying the HD2,i've already have a contract with t-mobile and i was do for an upgrade but instead of upgrade i bought the phone with 4 months installment plan which is about $112.50 a month on the bill(which is not bad) and i made sure that they didnt upgrade my contract.also added $5.99 for full insurance.so.......... so far loving the HD2 and its a keeper for me.hope it helps u a little.
@asctony if I were you I would try tobuy an unlocked hd2 and try to keep the $10 internet.but I would make sure it works first somehow, anyone here know? the csr will say it wont but I bet it will.if it works the price difference would pay for your phone in a relatively short amount of time.
Thank you both for taking the time to answer my query. Yes, I will try to use my $10 Internet Unlimited. When I signed up for the $10 Internet Unlimited CSR told me that I could not and it would not work. However, little do they know other than $$$$$$$$. Been using it for almost a year. I am really excited about the HD2 and will let you know what my opinion is. Thanks again.
Actually, you don't need to call customer care. Log into your mytmobile, change the phone in your profile to an Android phone and then add your data plan.
@asctony: if you buy it from the TMo retail store or a 3rd party that does not have rebates and does not require a data plan, then no, you don't have to change your data plan. Use your existing data plan by changing your APN (search my post about Nexus One and HD2).

it is not like a switch that you toggle right? because i am looking at it in my profile but since i have a grandfathered plan it says it conflicts with the current smartphone plan. maybe i am not looking in the right spot.
that's weird.... I switched my plan from android internet to the total internet for the HD2. both were the same price of $24.95. I'm here in NJ if that makes a difference
Yeah I had the $34.99 unlimited internet and texts for android. When I called customer service they switched me over to the smartphone plan and I'm still paying $34.99, don't know how that happened exactly but I'm happy!
No MMS
I've been with T-Mobile forever. I had a Blackberry before my Touch Pro 2. My Blackberry BIS add-on charge is $19.99/month. Internet is good and fast, phone and SMS work great. Cannot send or receive MMS and was told by customer support that, "your HTC sends MMS via the data plan and your current Blackberry data plan is not compatible with your phone."
My kids have cheap camera phones that send/receive MMS on our same family plan, but my more sophisticated WinMo device cannot? Sounds fishy, but I have searched every thread and tried every setting and finally have given up. I can live without MMS if it's going to cost me an extra $180/year.

You are aware that they had the data plan for Smartphones long before Android came out, right?

Wow, how lucky am I

Long story short, I changed my cellphone to N1 last month from my old Nokia 5800 XM with the unlimited $15 data plan. Not surprisingly, they forced the $25 dollars smartphone data plan on me soon after I swapped the sim card.
But considering I use wifi mainly on my phone, I called today to downgrade my data plan to the $15 200mb tier as the option doesn't show up in my online account feature section. And apparently, the lady on the phone doesn't know her business too much. She asked me what phone model I was using several times and asked me if it's a smart phone. I had to articulate word by word "google. nexus. one." to her so she could put it down. Before that, she just assumed I was using an iPhone, lol. And also she sounded quite confused about the data plans AT&T has. After some long wait on hold, she cheerfully told me she successfully changed my data plan to $15. So I logged into my account and surprisingly found out the feature of my data plan is:
Data Unlimited: Quick Messaging/Basic Phones
AT&T Recommends $15.00 N/A Unlimited Current
Didn't the honest me just tell her that I was using a nexus one and it's a smart phone? I guess she really doesn't know too much about phone tech even though she works as a customer service rep for AT&T. But I don't blame her for that. Well, even though if somehow in the future they find out there's some mistake and revoke the change, I wouldn't mind because I don't use that much 3g data anyway.
I wouldn't go out of my way, but if that force you to upgrade or realize the error just know it's the correct charge.
Wow you got an awesome plan that is hard to get anymore. Nice
Not a bad plan! Hopefully it will last...
yea i hope it lasts for you too. hey guys on a side note. is that whole "Google charing you on your phone bill" option in place already? because im buying apps and oddly enough, my AT&T bill is coming up $10-$40 dollars extra for the past 3 months
also....since we both got AT&T.....you happen to have her rep number? i wanna call and try to get her so i can try my luck with her
Oh everyone, I guess I spoke too soon. This morning I found out they changed my plan to $25 again. I guess it's the system automation.
I called them again and this time the Guy there apparently know I'm using a HTC phone. But still he couldn't change my plan as he needed me to call from another phone to get the IMEI number. I guess I'll try to call again then.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Yeah that's what has been happening to everyone else. The system automatically sweeps accounts and puts the correct data plan. Oh well.

best of luck in getting it changed, I was tempted to jump to iphone 4 but would like to have the unlimited data. On local carrier I have the nexus one with a $14.99 unlimited data & unlimited text, tough to find another carrier that can do that.

Nexus S works with Tzone!

Just got back from Best Buy and popped in my SIM card and BINGO! 3G appears! If it didn't I would've returned it on the spot.
im sold on that alone... its the best tzones capable phone out then

Yea, let us know if it stops working. In my experience, you'll get a text from tmobile forcing you to upgrade your data plan, but there is a possibility that your fine, since Nexus S isn't sold *directly* by tmobile. If you payed full price (unsubsidized), then you have nothing to worry about, they can't change your data price.

Its basically a $5/month data plan that only works with certain phones and you have to be grandfathered into it (ie, you cant sign up for it.. Its something you had to have had since 2000 or whenever tzones was popular and never cancelled). Since you are asking, you probably don’t have it and will not be able to get it

Not true; it's just the data plan for dumbphones.
The T-Mobile website automatically recognizes phones and makes you sign up for full ~$30~ data plans if you have a smartphone.
Of course, if you own a phone that T-Mobile doesn't sell directly, the website can't recognize the phone (so you're free to "select" a dumbphone).
And some of these phones that T-Mobile can't recognize are... The Nexus One and the Nexus S
I have tzone 599 plan too, I have notice that it works fine as long as I am on Tmo 3G coverage, as soon the phone goes to Edge. My data stops working.
Has any one else experience it?
Any way to solve this problem?
Thanks

NOT TRUE. it is the data plan for phones back from 2000 till they cancelled it around 2005. It will work on ANY dumb or SMART phone and it will work for tmobile smartphones as well, such as my vibrant and hd7. Tmobile MAY send a text message saying that you have a smartphone and they want you to upgrade to a "smartphone" plan but you do not have to. I personally have never gotten any texts or received anything like that from tmobile when I used an iphone, iphone 4, hd7, hd2, or vibrant. Only a few people have announced that tmobile pressured them into upgrading but it voids the contract and you can almost always talk your way out of them forcing you to upgrade your data plan.
The only exception is if you choose to upgrade your line, you will have to sign up for a "smartphone" data plan to go along with your 2 year service extension.
But the truth is, tzones will work with any phone regardless of its "smartness."

I had this exact same thing happen to me today. I figured TMO was forcing me into a more expensive data plan, but as soon as I was back to 3G it was working fine again. I don't have the $5.99 plan, just the $10/mo for dumbphones.
This may end up forcing me into a legit data plan in the end. I like having access to data, even @ edge speeds.

NOT TRUE. it is the data plan for phones back from 2000 till they cancelled it around 2005. It will work on ANY dumb or SMART phone and it will work for tmobile smartphones as well, such as my vibrant and hd7. Tmobile MAY send a text message saying that you have a smartphone and they want you to upgrade to a "smartphone" plan but you do not have to. I personally have never gotten any texts or received anything like that from tmobile when I used an iphone, iphone 4, hd7, hd2, or vibrant. Only a few people have announced that tmobile pressured them into upgrading but it voids the contract and you can almost always talk your way out of them forcing you to upgrade your data plan.
The only exception is if you choose to upgrade your line, you will have to sign up for a "smartphone" data plan to go along with your 2 year service extension.
But the truth is, tzones will work with any phone regardless of its "smartness."

My problem is that it works great when i am on 3g, only it happens if it goes on EDGE for even few mins, it stops, then I have to reset it and see if it goes on 3G.
Ohh boy, I wish there was some sort of a hack ...
I really don't wanna go to higher data plan at this time of the economy :
