not sure i guess we will find out more details on wed.
You beat me to it, but yes pretty cool. You can only expect this sort of feature from Tmobile until they are bought out by evil AT&T.
Though I have unlimited calling, I must say this is very generous of them. I am sure this will appeal to many corporate people who often travel internationally.
Love it...till it's here.
I bet now we will see an upspike of people going back to 2.2 due to the fully working Wi-Fi Calling haha.
On 2.2.1 it works but you can't make normal outgoing calls...pretty major bug.
It didn't say it was free, but also did say anything about a charge. I can't see them giving that away for free. I think I remember it was like $10 a month to have it unlimited.

If it is free for prepaid plans also, it is really awesome thing. But, I don't think so.

Got a letter today about tethering.. said that if I dont stop tethering they will change my plan to a tethering plan and cap me at 4gb... that's some str8 BS.. my question is how do they know I'm tethering and is there a way to block them from knowing I am... I'm not going to go from a unlimited plan to a capped plan for 15 dollars more of it was unlimited I would gladly pay the extra money. If anyone knows a way to tether still with out them knowing that would be sweet!!!

They can tell by the packet data, and as far as I know, there's no way for you to stop them from tracing it and finding out.
I would have thought that using a vpn would do the trick but Im not to sure, when I renewed mine I saw a few for about $40-$60 a year. I would say try tor but that might cause more problems then its worth
And as for them knowing how your doing it, the only way they would know is by packet sniffing(I think), but as android has the full internet I really don't no how they are able to tell the difference between you tethering and you using the browser on your phone.
how much data did you use?
I use and average of about 20-30gb a month... that's the reason I wont get a tethering plan cuz they cap it at 4gb a month. If it was unlimited I would have no problem giving them the extra 15 a month for the tethering
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Most I ever used was 72gb a month... I guess that's the reason my account got red flagged I guess lol...
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
The softcap for even unlimited accounts is 5gb,
you used over a year's worth of data in 1 month, i'm surprised they didnt immediately cut you off without notice as that's what ISPs use to justify having caps in the first place (though the whole unlimited = 5gb thing is a load to begin with)
It's boarderline physically impossible for a phone/tab to consume that much data without the user being physically present the entire time.
You COULD hit it by nonstop streaming netflix for an entire month but that's much less likely then using tethering it and doing non web browsing/gaming/anything heavy bandwidth that a phone/tab cant do itself
More or less they wont bother looking for tetherers that stay below their soft caps, but once you exceed the cap by like 100% it doesnt matter if it's tethering or not they'll still be mad

Humm ... Streak = porn.... Seems I've heard of an ancient practice called "streaking", where people would run naked, usually in front of a crowd.... There was even a song about it...
IMO, it's completely natural & normal to consume even terabytes of data monthly when we're Streaking

I cant justify going to a capped plan, atleast not only 5gb, maybe 10gb would be worth it but thats never going to happen

Meh i pressed the wrong button, the only 'unlimited' data plans available are the grandfathered ones.
It's not even available anymore if you dont already have it, all you're gonna do is encourage them to lower caps/raise prices even more

coming next.... true unlimited data goes away. after that price increases to match the competition. i'm done with sprint. my service has been too shoddy recently in areas that other companies have been good (including ATT) if i'm going to end up paying the same amount as those companies i'm jumping ship.

Seriously Texas? u just had to bring in the inside joke?lol
Ok so I had an Evo I was excited with the 4G I liked it for a while, but then after a 1 1/2 years the thing started to flake out. Well with my phone flaking out, and very limited 4G coverage I made the switch to Verizon. With one problem, what about unlimited data? I had to have unlimited data. So this is how I got unlimited data! Which wasn't being offered anymore.
Well thanks to XDA I found a super sweet hook up. This guy named VIP Nick got me Unlimited Data on my Verizon account for $30 a month, even though it's not offered anymore! He's one of very few in the country that can hookup accounts with unlimited data. Because he mainly works with Business accounts, and VIP accounts. Though he'll work with individual and family plan accounts too. Which I like because Verizon has a lot better 4G Coverage!
So I thought I'd spread the word to the XDA community if your looking to make the switch and want a new phone and get Unlimited Data email him at

I am Very Happy Now!

So I have been following this all day in the SGS3 forums (see here) and the servers got hit so bad that many users were without data AND calling for up to 5hours. Obviously this is a big deal and tons of people are switching but just be patient. My wife is going to the store (you can do it on-line too) tomorrow to set it up for us. I'll post updates if we hit any roadblocks.
Edit:: Ok so my wife went to do this today and she said it was like a mob scene. Said that there were people everywhere and the employees were cooking out promoting this whole thing. Took her about an hour to get through the line and get everything switched over. I got a text at work about a hour ago and it said that our plan changed. I check and it is unlimited and no interuption in service either.
Woody like, hehe!!!
Oh and they say that the HotSpot doesn't work, but it does. I checked. You can also go to the market and get Foxfi if you don't have the HS already.
I just switched over to the new plan and cut my Bill . I was paying $5 more for 5GB . No more throttle .

Well, you got caught! You were shoplifting from Sprint and they caught you. Either stop stealing or get cut off. It amazes me sometimes that people are surprised when they get caught. 8GB+ a month on 3G, its obvious that you are tethering. Do I tether, hell yes! But if Sprint caught me, I would stop tethering or pay for the service. With their new lifetime data plans they include 5gb of tethering in one of their plans for cheaper than any other provider. They caught you because of the desktop Netflix sever you were connected to opposed to the mobile Netflix server.
It's kind of funny how xda comes down hard on people that post links to warez or movie/music bootleg sites but they turn a blind eye to stealing from Sprint with hacked tethering. Anyway, good luck with Sprint and keeping your account.

Thanks, although I am pretty aware I was caught. I have used mass amounts of data before without tethering. Keeping Sprint won't be a problem as I haven't been tethering. I am not surprised at getting caught, it isn't like I'm crying about the audacity of this company telling me how I can/can't use my unlimited data. I was only asking if anyone knew if a 3rd party app shows the usage as data or tethering still. I will look into this plan you mentioned though.
