[Q] 4G Fee

I purchased my MT4G from a T-Mobile store for full price without contract and did not pay the additional $25 fee for 4G. Does anyone know if my speed will be limited because I'm not paying that fee?

That $25 is for data alone. You have no data on your plan and will be billed $1.99/mb. You should call and change that.

I'm using the Even More Plus 750 + Unlimited Text & Web.

Yeah but that plan only covers regular internet not "4G" plus the 30 bucks android plan is required AFAIK.

If you are EM+ 750 TW, that's a Family plan with unlimited data and text/mms on 2 lines, then you share the 750 mins between all the lines. T-Mobile doesn't charge more for the faster internet...yet.

There is no extra charge for 4g, so if you already have the unlimited web, then you're golden. Although you might not get 4g speeds all the time, depending on where you're located.

Funny how many versions of "the truth" you will get from different reps who actually have no clue what they are talking about isn't it?

Agreed...

According to what they told me, the even more and plus includes the 4G plan. The other plans are for the laptop and the tab that they sell which requires you to have those plans.

Web2Go $10.00

Does the speed on this plan vary from the $30.00 data plan on the S if its the same speed I wouldn't mind saving $20.00 a month
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

It's the same speed, except that you're capped to 200 MB/mo. It replaces their previous "dumbphone" data plan

I taught they had unlimited web to go for 10

That's their old dumbphone plan, which is still grandfathered in so people who had that plan in the past can still go over 200 MB
Someone please CMIIW

Unlmited web2go for $10 does not work on the nexus s.

Thanks for your help Jc

You can opt for even more plus plan at corp store if you purchase it in full, which only cost $20 for internet and $10 for messaging.
It's better than nothing.
$10 grandfathered web2go will not work with NS at least it doesn't work on my 3rd number, so I have to rotate it with MT4.

Today

New phone. New plan.
3000 minutes
Only today.
I don't work with t mobile, just saying.

Its an even more plus plan (without contract)...i think it used to be called flexpay
I was seriously considering signing a contract and paying 200 for my phone when it came out....but I did some calculations and the same plan that I have now with a contract is waaayyyy more expensive than what I am paying. They make more money in two years than it costs for my current plan plus the full price for 2 vibrants bought off contract...so I just bought the phones outright and signed up for the "flexpay" plan. I have the freedom to switch carriers whenever I want and I am on a reallyc heap plan

Yeah, I ALWAYS pay full retail for the phone. Really helps, if you do the math/keep the phone a little while.

I'm on 1500 mins also with unlimited text and data for $145 a month (after taxes), 3 lines and 1 phone insurance included. It's called Even More Plus plan I believe.

Need contract extension your upgrade date wont change though. I looked online classic plans are $15 more for 5 gigs than 2 gig plan. So this applies with the value plan most likely. I have unlimited minutes and and texting but don't need it I only made like 86 minutes in calls in the actual day. all my calls are during free nights and weekends anyway. Free wifi calling its like I have the unlimted minutes anyway.

This is a normal bump up to 5gb with discounts applied to the account. Its worth it and shouldn't extend your contract as it is only a feature and not a rate plan change. PLUS 5gb now includes tethering!

Are you sure on the 5gb including tethering? My data plan is like $20 a month for 5gb

All 5 gig plans include tethering and mobile album for free. The extra features are separately 14.99 each.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

I believe the 5gb plan that goes for $25-30 includes tethering.
The 5gb preferred android data plan is only $20 and does not include it.
^not many people know this one, but there it is lol, You can call in and ask for it. It is better askign the loyalty/retention department about it. Some of the regular customer reps don't know about it for some reason.
I may be wrong about the preferred android data plan not including the extra features... it's been awhile since i bothered the CSRs lol

On classic plan called said it was $35 dollars and extend my contract. So it only applies to value plans.

whoa what?? who did you talked to? let me go through t-mobile's website and see whats up with their services
okay wow, it looks like they did UP the data plan, but whoever you talked to might have been trying to change your entire PLAN and not just a service. Service upgrades should not be a contract extension.
I would recommend to switch to the $20 5gb preferred android plan. I hope they still offer it.. they should be able to though. This works on any plan. It was a hidden offer and was not a grandfathered service unless things have changed. Doesn't hurt to try. This goes for everyone.
talk to the retention/loyalty department for smoothest help. Regular CSR will say they can't do that etc etc.

Yeah preffered is 20 its an older feature.. you have to ask for it through care not available in store system. New 5gb feature is 35 but does include tethering on classic. On value its 25

Last week I was offered 5GB for $15 including wifi hotspot tethering. $5/month for the first 3 months sounds great, and I imagine it would revert to $15/month after the first 3.

Just letting you know the preffered $20 5GB does include tethering. Myself and my brother have it
and it's listed on the bill.

Something like that is only offered through loyalty and they will most likely extend your contract to give you that.
On value 5gb is 25$ and on classic its 35$. So the only way to get any other price is through loyalty.

Tmo customer care. I had called in about another issue and they usually try to sell something when they have a captive audience. Most of my data usage is done via wifi so I turned him down.
The $15/5GB plan he offered me most definitely included tethering.

I was switched to this. I was told it would be a $5 a month saving for 3 months and then I would revert back to 2gb for normal price.

Family talk on T-Mobile s2

I have a galaxy s2 on T-Mobile, I'm looking for a better plan, I need at least 5GB of data. Right now I have the $30 100min and 5GB data plan, I don't want to spend $70 a month for more minutes and 5GB of data, but I do need more minutes as well as the data I have. Is there a simple mobile, or family talk plan that would work fully?

Well you're on prepaid so don't worry about that message....can't charge you because you paid before....
Simplemobile apparently limits to approximately 2gb give or take a few. Their 3g plan actually gives you "4g". I don't see how they can actually adjust it to limit it to 3g speed only because 4g it's actually 3.5g..
So stick to the $40 plan.
You can also go straight talk. but i forget what the data limit is for that. Look it up.

The 40$ plan has terrible data speeds and sucks if you're using a smartphone. I would NOT recommend it.
ST throttles after (about) 2GB a month or 100MB a day. (technically the AT&T BYOD SIMs seem to be stricter about this than the T-Mobile ones)
