Did you lock yourself into a 2 year contract? If so, you can get it, but it'll cost you more.

Did you sign a two yr contract? If so, you still have one more year left. You may be able to get a partial discount (partial subsidized price) on the SGS-2, but that means you are renewing an additional two years on top of the remaining one year. That is 3 yrs.
I sure as hell wouldn't commit to T-Mobile for 3 yrs just to get that phone.
You can buy it at full retail and wouldn't have to sign a contract, but that would cost you obviously more for the phone.
Why don't you check out ebay for the Sensation 4G, you can pick one up for 300 or so without contract. Or wait a few months and SGS-2 will be on ebay for cheap.
Just don't sign another contract, 3 yrs more with T-Mobile is insane, especially since nobody knows what is going to happen to them.
Another option is to cancel your T-Mobile account. Pay the 200 ETF. Then go to At&t and get the SGS-2 for 149.99 (if you shop around).
This comes out to 349.99.
Also, contrary to popular belief, At&t is actually cheaper than T-mobile. If you compare the current contract plans on At&t to the current contract plans on T-Mobile, you get more for your money on At&t (especially if you are on a Family plan). However, if you are on a grandfathered T-Mobile plan then that might not be the case.
Anyways, deffinately don't sign another T-mobile contract, that is crazy right now.
Edit:
According to Archie53 they don't add an additional 2 yrs on your remaining 1 yr, they just renew from that point on for 2 more yrs.
Thanks for the clarification.
They don't add time onto existing contracts, they just restart the two years. The partial discount is pretty much not worth signing a two year contract , your almost better off just paying full price.

What claims?
The part where I said current At&t contract plans (especially family plans) are cheaper than current contract T-Mobile plans?
Just go to At&t and T-mobile compare the plans side by side. At&t comes out cheaper. At&t gives you unlimited calling to Any mobile on any carrier as long as you get family text messaging. I'm on a grandfathered plan with T-mobile, and if I switch to At&t I would save about 30 bucks a month and get unlimited mobile to mobile on any carrier. The only thing I would lose is my 5gb data cap, compared to 2Gb on At&t. That's ok though, I don't even use the full 2GB, I'm always on wifi wherever I go.

First off, you don't need to be rude. I'm pretty sure I'm more educated than you are.
Secondly, why would I get unlimited talk on At&t when At&t offers rollover and free mobile to mobile on any carrier with the purchase of famly text messaging for 30 bucks or individual for 20 bucks.
With At&t rollover and unlimited mobile to mobile TO ANY CARRIER, you can get one of the cheaper At&t minute plans and save a lot of money, yet still basically have unlimited talk. THAT WAS MY POINT.

Yeah you're right bout the rude part. Sorry.
Everyone's family is different and needs for phones are different...your way is fine as long as your family won't call landlines. Mine tends to talk to a variety of connections(mobile and landline/google voice*) So an unlimited makes way more sense for me and mine. With the unlimited Tmobile beats At&t hands down.

Apology accepted.
Ya, both carriers have their pros and cons, and you're right sometimes one is cheaper than the other depending on one's needs.
I knew I forgot something...i put the * on google voice up there because if you're calling to and from GV alot it is considered landlines. Another reason I need the actual unlimited as everyone now has my GV number. Unless you're calling a sprint GV number, then it's a mobile...i think.

Whether he re-ups his T-Mobile contract, or gets a new contract with ATT, he'll be in the same boat. Except he'll probably be paying less on T-Mobile.
If the merger goes through, ATT has to honor all existing customer contracts. If they raise your rates, you get out ETF-free.
Plus since the source just.dropped for the sgs2 it will be rooted soon so that's even better

So i'm planning to give my two fascinates to my parents when the S3 comes out but the minimal data plan is $30. is there any way to activate it using the $10 data plan? also, what happened to that 15 dollar data plan? damn verizon..
my parents will probably use less than a 1GB of data. i dont want to pay $60 when they will use so little of it.

verizon is in the process of changing thier data plans...a rep told me they are coming out with family share data plans instead of each line having its own. not sure when its going to happen but rumor is this fall.
thanks for the insight. i might wait till then.
On the new plan they can share 1 gig of data for $130 monthly with unlimited talk and text. That is the smallest plan for 2 smart phones.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
Are all of the new plans going to combine voice and data in a single package? I want as much data as possible and as few voice minutes as possible. I'm on the unadvertised Loyalty Share 550 which shares 550 minutes between my phone and my wife's. We have never gone over that. I hate to pay for unlimited minutes just to get a high enough data limit. Same goes for texts, which I don't use a lot of.
I am in the same boat. I don't use text at all. I hate Verizon when it does that. But galaxy s3 that I want so, well I will update.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA
You have the choice even after June 28th to keep your current plan.. You will not be forced on these new bull**** plans
However, unlimited data,
After the 28th of you want to upgrade a line that has unlimited data you will have 2 choices
1 pay in full (700-800 dollars) and keep your unlimited
2 get your phone subsidized like we all usually do when getting a new 2 year, but lose unlimited data.
PSA ! If you have a upgrade and unlimited data, PREORDER YOUR SGS3 NOW or UPGRADE TO ANOTHER PHONE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

Looks like I'll be a new AT&T customer here pretty soon with a Galaxy SII. I received a text from Verizon stating I will have to switch to an available smartphone plan, since I've been using an old prepaid talk and text plan from 2 years ago with $30 unlimited data. I'd sworn off contracts but there's not much choice. Prepaid GSM is a no go because they don't use the full network, so the coverage is nothing where I live. Decent HSPA+ coverage with the postpaid network though. It comes out to $84 per month for a decent plan with 3GB data and my business discount. It's been fun gents!

Also, I recommend that everyone who wants to keep unlimited with an s3 upgrade to something cheap soon, and just exchange it within 14 days. Make sure you get a phone that uses a micro sim, that way they don't have to change the device in the system for you.

Found this confirming the Galaxy Note 2 for T-Mobile with OTA Updates
Link:http://www.sammobile.com/2012/09/16...-coming-to-t-mobile-in-us-ota-updates-online/
I think this will be my next phone. I've been wanting to try out T-Mobile and dump my huge Verizon bill. I really liked the size of the first Galaxy Note too and the specs look awesome. Not a huge fan of TouchWiz, but I'll try it out.
I don't know too much about TouchWiz, but I definately want the Note 2. My TMO bill is $125 for 3 lines unlimited talk & text with 2G Data for each line on the value plan. We don't ever use close to 2G of data a month.

TouchWiz is alright for most purposes unless you are used to vanilla Android. They like to put their skin on everything and also put some of their own apps in it. I'm at the SIM only plan which would cut my bill down to almost a third of what I pay to VZW.
I've been using t-mobile Unlimited Data (5GB of high speed) and unlimited text + 100 min for $30. I dont' talk on the phone much, but it's only 10 cent after 100 min

You can also hit up the cancellations department. They are the last tier of support and have access to new and expired plans that other agents don't even know about.

I think I'm going to try this with Verizon when the Note 2 drops. TMobile has an unlimited (not capped after a certain amount) plan that's 500 minutes and unlimited text for $60. I'm gonna be like look. This is what I'm getting over there, come close to it or I'm gone. Truthfully I'll settle for 20 MAYBE 10 Gigs just to be on Verizon's network, but we'll see how they'll play it.
I hope development turns out good for the tmo version I'm really interested im either this or the rumored tmo one x or I'll just settle for gs3

I'll be purchasing a T-Mobile version on day of release. I have an international version in hand (posting from it) and have decided to go with the Note2 as an all-in-one device (phone &tablet -I'd originally thought I'd use the Note2 as a WiFi tablet only). Really looking forward to this release!
Do you have to wait for the announcement to pick this up or will they have it available that morning?
Did anyone see an announcement of the off contract price? I've been saving up (student budget) but tax might just do me in. Also... which color to get???

Yeah, the Value Plan? I was considering that too, maybe the 500 minute plan with unlimited data for $60 too depending on how much you talk on your phone.
So far I ordered the prepaid sim and going to activate the $30 plan, if I don't like it I can just go to the Value Plan.
One very bad thing about T-Mobile is that any changes you make to your plan, it renews/resets the contract to the current date.
Be very careful with T-Mobile contracts.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Yes I don't like the idea of a contract,specially since I didn't even get a phone through them...
I was considering $30 a month plan, problem is... I also free lance, at times I use a phone a lot while on the go and VoIP is too unreliable for that in this area. There are spots with very poor T-Mobile data coverage here. So I'm stuck with either unlimited +5gb, or unlimited + contract.

Do u really need unlimited??? On average I use about 1 GB. And a while back when I tried to use as much data as a I can...I only maxed at out about 3 GB. (Bascially Pandora every time I listen to music...which is about 2-3 hours a day total???)
If you tether a lot then its very worth it.

I've had my Nexus 4 for about a day and I've already racked up about 1GB pretty easily. I'd recommend one of their value plans. For 69.99 you get truly unlimited, no 5GB throttle point. They require a 2 year contract but if you're sticking with T-Mobile for a while that doesn't really matter. Canceling the contract early is $200 ETF. Without it you'd spend $89.99 for the same plan, so it seems pretty worth it to me. Attached a screenshot of my 1 day usage...

You're probably in the minority here. I'm pretty sure most people aren't spending a majority of their day watching TwitchTV on 4G and tethering....and WiFi is not that hard to come by these days (home/work).

All accounts are monitored for tethering. It isn't hard to use more than 5GB.. Hell ROMs are 200mb each, some of the newer games are up to a GB , plus streaming spotify it's really rather easy for some of us.

You have to remember though... if you are going to download a large file, are you going to use WiFi, which is way faster than HSPA+, or are you actually going to download a 200mb ROM over data?

Was only maybe a bit over an hour of Twitch (720p stream) while in the car and about 30 minutes tethering while I VPN'd into work on the go. OP had already stated he used a lot of data and is likely to hit the 5GB cap. So while you say "most people", the OP is not most people.
My father passed away a month ago.I found out since he is the primary on the account for At&t I could cancel the account without any ETF fees. I would like to get something simple and cheap for my mom and sister now. Ideally I would like the following:
1. Two Smart Phones with at least 2GB of Data a month unlimited text and either unlimited minutes or at least mobile to mobile on any network. ( I don't use minutes really but my sister she can burn them)
2. One Flip phone for my mom with no data text etc, just minutes to call.
3. I would like fast HSPA+ speed or LTE just as long as its not regular 3G and below.

Is simple mobile on T mobiles network?
T-mobile would be $110 a month plus any equipment installment payments (depending in Handsets used). Thus would also give your mom texting and 500 MB of data in case she decides to try it (my mom likes having email and other info on the go that she didn't have with a flip phone).

Wait. How do you get $110? If I goto T mobile site and add 2 S4 and a flip phone I got like $160 a month with the 2GB plan.

My father passed away a month ago.I found out since he is the primary on the account for At&t I could cancel the account without any ETF fees. I would like to get something simple and cheap for my mom and sister now. Ideally I would like the following:
1. Two Smart Phones with at least 2GB of Data a month unlimited text and either unlimited minutes or at least mobile to mobile on any network. ( I don't use minutes really but my sister she can burn them)
2. One Flip phone for my mom with no data text etc, just minutes to call.

Try T-Mobile Simple Choice. $50 for the first phone, $30 for the second and $10 for each phone after that. Unlimited Voice, Text and Data. The first 500MB for each line is high-speed. After that it is 3G. Bring your own phones.

+1 T-Mobile Simple Choice
Add 2 GB data at $10 per line for both smart phones, and the total monthly charge is $110 plus taxes and fees.
If I add 2 phones on the simple plan I get $120. Where are you guys getting $110?
Are you taking the amount for the phones each month into account?

T mobile is 50 for the first line than 30 for each additional. You get 500mb of data free for 2gb its extra 10 and unlimited 20 (I have used 20+gb no slowing me down) if you get a phone through t mo its a down payment plus taxes and an additional 10-20 depending on the phone. T mobile imho is very reasonable if you get good service
