Can anyone advise me on whether or not an unlocked TMO myTouch will work on AT&T and take advantage of the 3G data capabilities?
I currently own an HD2 and it will not do 3G data on AT&T.
My existing plan is the $10 unlimited data, will AT&T see it as a "smart phone" like an iPhone? Is tethering possible with the myTouck?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
No T-mpbile phone can get 3g speeds on AT&T towers, and vice versa.
I have both phones also on ATT. I use the same data plan as you. Never had any problems, even when I call in they do no see what phone I am using. ATT doesn't register T-Mobile imei numbers as far as I know. I've been using T-Mobile phones on ATT for 9 years with no troubles. As you know, you just do not get ATT 3g. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info.
where do you get the $10 unlimited data plan? All I have been able to find is the $30 unlimited data plan.

AT&T has them for "dumb" phones (NOT PDA's)
Has anyone been able to switch to a 4G unlimited data plan (in the NYC area)? If so, details please. I'm having issues.
There is no specific "4g" plan, it's all just considered the data plan. If you want unlimited though, you can easily get the medianet $10/$15 plan as your phone is not one AT&T provides. You'll get all the benefits of "4g" a.k.a. HSPA+.

Seriously? I thought there was a 4g unlimited plan, along with an iPhone unlimited plan, and 3G smartphone unlimited plan.
Anyway, I have the iPhone unlimited plan and thought I could upgrade to the 4G one just to get faster speeds.
I'm currently getting the H+ signal and maxing at 3.3 Mbps download but averaging at 2 Mbps. I thought I could go faster...
There's no separate plan, its all the same data plan. Do some tests at night to check faster download speeds when the network is not so congested.

Just wondering, what's the difference between the $10 plan and the $15 plan? Never got a straight answer as to the differences of them.

Dude, that is just our area, highest I've ever hit is 6.5/7 (and that was once, ever). It'll get better as we get different modems too.
The $10 is for the ones who pay the $30/month family unlimited messaging plan, otherwise it's $15.
I have a grandfathered unlimited data plan from Verizon. I have the 450 minute & 1K Message & $39.99 data plan for a total of $81.98. I've never once gone over my minutes in years so more than 450 isn't required.
The new unlimited everything plan is $85 and this includes Mobile Hot Spot (Needed now that FoxFi doesn't work on Nougat).
Has anyone made this switch? Is it as good of a deal as it seems? I wonder if this new plan is throttled or if it's the same as what I have now.
It's very much throttled unfortunately. In the fine print it says your internet speed will be de-prioritized after 22GB (meaning you'll be queued after other non-unlimited users), and the hotspot will only run on 3G which is basically worthless compared to 4G or WiFi.
If you are gonna switch, consider selling your plan on eBay, they're going for $1500-$1800 bucks. I'm never gonna get rid of mine.

Speeds should be the same, throttling may happen if you "use over 22GB and are in a heavily congested area."
Hotspot should also be the same but it also applies to throttling at 22GB if it is congested.
Id go to Verizon and ask them what costs would be and if you'd save money by switching to the new plan.
You get 10gb of hotspot at 4G speeds then downgraded to 3G speeds (some users reported not getting downgraded to 3G or seeing differences after 10gb). I made the switch and have yet to notice any differences. I normally end up around 20-30gb used a month.
Also you don't get throttled you get de-prioritized in congested area, meaning someone would connect to the tower before you if over 22gb. And who know what is consider a "congested" area.
verizon unlimited plan, do you guys think this will be around come october? that is when my contracts are up on my to UL old plans....

Bummed about FoxFi, and although it's not ideal tethering still works with grandfathered UDP. Check this out: https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/help/tethering-nougat-t3568501
I've been thinking about getting the AT&T unlimited plan, right now they are offering the unlimited plan with 10gb of mobile Hotspot per line. My question is, is anyone currently in the new unlimited plan (not the grandfathered plan) and have you went over your 22gb of unlimited data, if so was you throttled by AT&T any.
I have the AT&T new unlimited plan and so far I have never been throttle. I switch from the grandfather unlimited plan over to the new ulimited plan and glad I did.
I am as well. I easily use 100 GB per line - 3 lines. And have never been throttled.
Thanks guys, also if i read it right, it says something like 3mbps download speed? That don't sound right and i think i probably misread it, but do you have regular 4g download speed. I'll look it up again and ss where it said that.
Edit: the 3mbps download speed is on the unlimited choice plan, not the unlimited plus.
I went ahead and swapped to the unlimited plus plan. With the HBO $25 credit plus the $10 wireless and paperless billing i figured I'd save about 25 dollars a month since this plan is 10 dollars more a month than my old one.
I am wondering if anyone has used custom rom with Verizon's new unlimited plans. Does the hotspot still get throttled after 20gb or does verizon not detect the hotspot like the grandfathered plan
When i was there 2 weeks ago, i was told that the new data plans throttle after the allotment. The highest tier one throttles after 75 gigs. The guy was trying to get me to switch off of my grandfathered saying that i'll never hit 75 gig until i showed him my usage for the first week of my cycle, hahha.
