That would be pretty impressive, seeing that $152,461 makes no sense in a denomination of US currency.

are you just being nit-picky over the lack of .00 or do you really not understand how much money that is?

We've been over this before...there is no cap on ROAMING DATA with the evo. As far as it goes on their website, it's usually way under or way over.

When I was an accountant in Belgium, the new CEO brought his iPhone over from the states and put it on our Proximus business account. Let's just say that the use of 1 iPhone for less than a month doubled our phone bill for an account that had 70+ phones on it.

Where did you get this information? I was under the impression that there is a 300MB/month limit on roaming data before they charge you. A Sprint rep posted the details in their forums.
Unlimited 3G and 4G
300MB roaming data limit without extra charge.

It was in some thread last week that was fairly long. I thought we'd come down to the conclusion that only 3g laptop cards had the cap; phones don't on 3g.

Has anyone used more than 300MB roaming? Here is the post I was referring to. This Sprint employee says that EVO data is capped at 300MB roaming.

I REALLY didn't want to get pulled into this discussion again, but I don't want to see forum members get screwed either. I've been going back and forth quoting the EVO-specific TOS with kris54241 on exactly this subject over here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755458
The 300mb roaming cap does come into play for the Evo, and Sprint has recently made it a priority to begin cracking down on those users (weather those 300mb roaming were a majority of usage or not). Some people have begun to see warnings in their bills.

I don't believe they charge for over 300MB, but they do warn you. In the TOS & contract you signed in the beginning it says if a certain percent (can't remember) of your minutes are roaming or if more than 300MB data is roaming they have the right to terminate your service.

The actual terms of service for phones states that a "majority of your minutes or data usage may not occur off the Sprint network."
That means that technically, you could talk for 61 minutes - 30 on Sprint, 31 Roaming - and Sprint can term the service.
Also, you can download 3kb of data (yes, 3kb), 1kb on Sprint, 2kb Roaming - and Sprint can terminate your service.
Now, chances are you wouldn't even get looked at until you hit a GB or more of anything or a ton of minutes, but the way it's written, it's a simple majority... Pretty cool huh?

I believe they can (not saying they will) throttle you for the month following as well, if they feel you (and others like you) are impacting the quality of service for others.

To be fair, T-Mobile isnt charging for tethering (from what I know) and it still has unlimited access whereas other companies charge you more for going over or simply has a hard cap

Just to add to this post.
Tmobile changed their "unlimited" to a soft cap at 5GB last fall.
But people like me on the old grandfathered 19.99 BIS plan (yes my BIS works perfectly with my Samsung Vibrant). Aren't grandfathered plans like mine; isn't the soft cap on old users like me at 10GB? instead of 5GB.
I never even reach 1GB on a a good month even with tethering on the Vibrant. But I don't tether that much.

Please do not spread further misinformation on this.
Only Verizon has stated they'll do this. T-Mobile never once said that they would do that. They never have done that.

d0es removing the cap procedure with providing different APN still works ? if yessss screw you tmo ;P hope u wont catch me doin it tho pp

Is not actually unlimited,because when they throttle you pages hardly ever load,the phone is good just for making call and sending text,other than that is completely worthless.
They actually throttle you so hard to 56KB because it is actually the best workaround to actually stop you from using your data,without actually and completely stopping your connection,and they can still claim that it still is unlimited.
Now they are advertising here the Vibrant 4G,with bells and whistles as a 4G phone capable of blazing fast 21MB connection on their 4G HSPA+ network all in very big letters.
And when you read the incredibly small and almost unreadable letters it say HSPA+ 4G no available in Puerto Rico..
And some how their adds are not misleading.

I totally agree. I first used to get a text saying I hit the 10gb limit then it changed to 5gb. I'm on the g1 plan. Tethering is also not the only culprit. I download mixtapes (for promotional use only) to the phone. I stream. Some of the newer games have some big files to download. Why use wifi I paid for unlimited no quotes web.

LoL. I went into the myaccount app and tried to set an alert for data. It said due to the fact I have an unlimited data plan I can't use this feature. So the app thinks just like me.

They did that to me once. Throttled me less than 24 hours until my cycle renewed. Like less than a day matters, apparently it does to them though. Tmo FTW!
Edited, when throttled, it was my experience that turning on edge only data was much faster than the throttled 3g. It seems they don't throttle the edge side, just the 3g data.

Walmart/T-Mobile Prepaid $30/mo "Unlimited" 4G Plan + Unlimited Text/100 Minutes

Walmart/T-Mobile Prepaid $30/mo "Unlimited" 4G Plan + Unlimited Text/100 Minutes
Who is getting this epically awesome plan?
I am!
I felt the need to spread the word.
http://newsroom.t-mobile.com/articles/walmart-and-t-mobile-introduce-exclusive-no-annual-contract-4g-offering

Not even close to suitable for my needs.
Pipsqueak approved this message.

Hmm yeah I suppose if you need a TON of data, you are better off elsewhere...but for people who want to stick with a GSM carrier, there's nothing better right now!
I'm not sure I could ever give up switching phones as I please.

Be ware....It's not prepaid. If you run out of minutes they charge you like 90 dollars. Read the fine print. I had 30 dollars worth of data left I didn't even use switched to tmobile thinking prepaid is prepaid and they sent me a bill for 90 cancelation fee. Didn't even use my 30 worth of paid for data

No, it's NOT just TONS of Data. It's also minutes. 100 minutes? Yeah, I don't think so. This plan isn't that great. If it meets your needs fine, but don't go talking down to others JUST BECAUSE THEY DON'T AGREE WITH YOU.
Pipsqueak approved this message.

Whoa, not sure where all the hate is coming from. I suppose I misunderstood you and certainly was not talking down to you. So I apologize.
Anyway, my plan is to use Google Voice or sipdroid since the minutes are capped to only 100. I just wanted to make people aware of the opportunity.

I can tell you that I am going to jump on this Sunday.
It is perfect for the 3G GSM cellular modem in my laptop.
I am sick of not having internet access in some places and as I won't ever be using voice or giving out that number it is just perfect and a deal!
Plus no f---ing contract.

Can someone confirm this plans now works fine and it is not a fiasco it was right after the release? I have HD2 Tmobile US and wonder if it will work on my phone?
I barely use my phone for talking and never over 100mins - data is pretty much what I use for the most of the time and this plan seems like a winner...
What else should we know about this plan?

Check HoFo. I haven't found much useful information here on XDA.
Of note, I have found no problems with the plan thus far (have only used it for 1 month)

hey everyone. so apparently mobile to mobile doesnt apply to monthly 4g plans. i never read this anywhere and i tried to do as much research as i could before i tired to get on this plan. but now, after 1 day of ussage, im out of minutes.
if you guys have any specific questions, post them, and ill try to answer them

Fact: I found that I had to buy a $30 t-mo phone at walmart to get this plan, and after activation, I moved the sim to a nicer device (bought a nearly unused lg g2x for cheap). I don't talk on the phone, google voice when I do (voice messages conveniently converted to text) and never give out my t-mo phone #.
History: I have been using boost for a couple years and was happy with their service/plan, but even the rather nice samy prevail (thank you ShabbyPenguin!!) was feeling a bit limited (despite root and link2sd). Was about to try Hoarks CM7 on it. I did not feel like trying to get a regular sprint phone to work on boost either.
Review: Signal strength not as good at home, but I use wifi here anyways. I get about 2Mb data over cell here tho, so not too bad. Phone is a kickass upgrade (CWM, CM7 nightly thanks to XDA forums tutorials!) and I like that I can use my sim in many other devices!
Expect to pay $30 for a phone and $30 for plan. Web activation of phone worked. Be sure to use THE AGENT CODE on the phone box! I bought the $30 card but using the scratch and dust number did not validate online , I called tmobile number and entered it there and it validated (whew!).
hope that sheds some light...

Is the agent code unique? If not, can you share it?

I just ordered the SIM on T-Mobile's website (ended up getting it as an addition to my postpaid plan for my NS which was sitting unused). I followed the activation steps in the booklet that came with the SIM. No agent code needed and I paid $5.34 for the SIM.
NOTE: This only works if you already have a compatible phone with AWS bands. I don't know about activating a newly bought phone on this plan.
Wasn't me!! I didn't do it!

I'm moving back to DC this summer (from Beijing) and I want to get on this plan. But I lost my phone the other day and need something for the next 3 months.
Q: Is there any Android/ICS international phone I can buy that can be hacked to work with Tmobile HSPA+? I'd say the HTC One S would be perfect for me, but I don't think you can get the one with TMobile 1700 CDMA band.

Is the Google's Galaxy Nexus an "international" phone? That may be an option.

Considering changing to this plan...
Has anybody tried tethering on this plan? Also, any non-overage related throttling to report?

Generally, no. Some hacking has been done on AT&T-branded phones (e.g. Galaxy Note) to get them to work with T-Mobile's 3G. However, most phones are incapable of this. Saying 1700 band is a bit misleading - as there are a couple 1700MHz bands that are not AWS (i.e. T-Mobile USA).
So far, all of the Nexus phones (GSM versions, excluding "a" variants which support AT&T's 3G) work with the AWS band. A few others like the Sensation and Evo 3D come to mind.
Your options will be limited because the AWS band is fairly unpopular. Most manufacturers don't bother with it as it's used only on the less-popular networks of the U.S. and Canada - nowhere else.

US Carries and compatible plans for Galaxy note

Hi Guys, this is my first post.
I am relocating to N.Y. from Europe for work and i am bringing my Galaxy Note with me of course.
I was not aware of the situation in U.S. with phone carriers and I am only beginning to grasp the things you have to suffer.
Could you please recommend me a plan. I have already contacted sprint and they refused to accept my cell phone. I am currently thinking of getting boost mobile unlimited but i can't find out if my phone is fully compatible with their service.
I have no credit history in U.S.. I would like at least 200' 100sms and a few GBs of data. Some minutes for calling landlines in Europe would also be great.
I would realy appreciate your help, feeling kind of lost in the open sea.
Thanks in advance (if the list is complete it could be a nice sticky)

Your Note will only give you 3G on AT&T or AT&T MVNOs. You will only get Edge at best on TMo, and your phone won't work at all on Verizon or Sprint!

Get the 450 min package
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/plans/data-plans.jsp
Get the 2gb package. And unlimited messaging.
The phone works great on AT&T with some pretty good speeds.

As foxmeister said ur only option to use full data is with ATT.
The best thing here is to get a prepaid 50 $ unlimited plan. It comes with unlimited everything. Including data.
However if u have a smart phone then u need another data plan. However ATT is never going to know u have a smartphone since the imei of european phones is not their list.
Many people here are using non smartphone data plan with note with no issues.
However if u want a contract, then again get an iphone 4gs with att and sell the phone and use ur phone with that plan.
Since u dont have a credit history here, ATT will ask u to put in a 1000$ deposit, which they will refund u at the end of the 1st year.

I thought I saw in another thread some people complaining about having been found out. Was that about U.S. IMEIs or European ones?
When I go to the AT&T shop must I carry my phone with me to show it before they give me the unlimited plan?

Just don't expect much with AT&T in NY, they kinda suck. Lots of dead zones and dropped calls. I have an unlimited data plan with them but on Friday they told me that since I'm in the top 5% of data users they're going to slow down my connection.

I am sure they will catch you if u use too much data.. may be like over 10gb every month.
U dont have to carry the phone with u.
Good thing about prepaid is that u can always stop using it without loosing much money.
I would consider prepaid as a temporary measure before u understand the coverage and stuff like that..
I think walmart has a plan .. again 50$ unlimited with no carrier specifcation.
This was discussed somewhere in Gnote forum too..

That's standard HSPA data speeds. You'll see the DL speed go up to 11mb some nights depending on your area.
You don't have to change anything

Just don't expect much with AT&T in NY, they kinda suck. Lots of dead zones and dropped calls. I have an unlimited data plan with them but on Friday they told me that since I'm in the top 5% of data users they're going to slow down my connection.

I am in NY. i don't have issue with it. I got around 1.3-1.8M download speed. no dead zones for me.. where are you in New York ?

Upper East Side (10029). I hope signal is good there.
Off topic: is there a way to say thanks when using the app?

There's a guy over at howardforums that got throttled for being "in the top 5%" of data users and he was only at 3GB.

I average about 3GB's a month and my high was 6.4GB in Oct.

I am on wifi most of the time and I don't use a ton of talk minutes, so I am using an AT&T GoPhone smartphone plan, $25.00/month for 500MB of data, $0.10 per talk minute.

I'm in NYC. Live downtown work in midtown. I have dropped calls all the time and need to reboot my iphone a couple of times a day. I also spend a lot of time upstate (Catskills) and have little to no service up there with AT&T. And they've told me they have no plans to add cell towers.

Hey guys thanks for all the tips. I have been using AT&T gophone unlimited for 10 days. I don't do heavy internet usage but i can say that the data network is speedy and stable in Manhattan. I am not so satisfied with voice call quality and I have some dropped calls or phone takes for ages to connect.
Overall thanks for the help. AT&T worked out of the box and I almost make full use of the device. A strange difference from Europe is that in US data actually works better than voice.

AT&T GoPhone data speeds

I know that a few of you are also using your Notes as an AT&T GoPhone, and I'm curious about the speeds you're getting. I'm in the Sacramento area, and I only get about 0.8 to 2.0 mbps (download).
Is this around what you guys are getting?
Take care, guys.

Yep, sounds about right!

I used to get around 800k download and since I installed the new XXLA3 modem, this is what I getting most of the time.

You will find my results below. A mixed bag and very dependant on location but my most recent result was 5.8x2.7 which is pretty astounding to me.
This is in the Raleigh/Durham, NC area.

Is that with the AT&T GoPhone plan?

So if you are not under contract as we are...We can port our numbers to GoPhone and pay $100 a month unlimited?
Im paying that now for 750 minutes shared, NO messaging and $30 UL data ($15 each) Wow..

Is that actually unlimited or just advertised that way?
I am on the straighttalk 45 per month "unlimited" and theirs is advertised unlimited but in reality they shut you off if you go over around 2 GB per month; also some undefined daily limit. Other than that GREAT to be off AT&T. Wait - I AM on AT&T network, just not paying the same as I used to.

I don't know the answer to that. I'm brand new to AT&T and haven't even finished my first month of service with them. All that I know about GoPhone and AT&T I learned here and on AC.
So far I haven't seen any throttling. That said, my data usage has been limited to the phone and a couple of tethering sessions. I don't use it as a replacement for home internet and use WiFi whenever possible so hopefully I'll stay off their radar.
A postpaid AT&T account to accomplish the same thing w/ 2GB of data (enough for me) is a good bit more expensive. As it is, I'm paying just a little more than I did on Sprint but it's easier to justify at this price than at the postpaid price and I'm not left paying for a subsidy that I didn't use.

I'm in the Sacramento area too. Currently running on T-mobile, but I want to switch to GoPhone. I'm getting about 800kb/s on edge.
Did you give att your IMEI number, or a fake one? How do you like the GoPhone service with the Note?

Didn't give them an IMEI at all. In fact, they never asked for one. Heck, I didn't even have the phone with me at the time...
Data speeds are mediocre, but I'm not sure if that's because of my Note or because of AT&T's spotty coverage. (I'm getting in the range of 0.8 - 2.5 Mbps) I don't mind though, since I primarily use wi-fi. I just needed some coverage for when I'm on the go, and it does the trick.

i got a sim only from att store , paid my $50 last week. Yesterday i finally got a note and its the first tim using the sim. I can not get data to work at all. searched high and low used every apn setting i could find the closest i got was using:
wap.cingular
proxy: wireless.cingular.com
but it brings me to a page shown in attached photo."to use data services you must have a data package"
if i use any othe apn settings i get the H+ but nothing loads at all as far as web pages or anything that uses data gets a network error. I guess they have this imei in their database??
Should i backup my EFS file and delete it off the phone? Goto the store get a gophone get mobile web working again, swap sims?
very frustrating. and realistically i want to see if at&t has improved at all in NYC before paying verizon etf's and coming back (i prefer gsm).
Thanks!
