I know we're all in that 7-day window with G1 data and all. And I know that what t-mobile *does* is usually far less strict than what they *say* when it comes to requirements for plans and such.
I'd like to know how T-Mobile plan to handle no-contract purchases of the G1 when it comes to data plans.
But I predict within the next week or two, that T-Mobile will switch all G1 account holders to the G1 data plan (if they haven't already) and wipe out all the other data and text plans for the line. With such a huge subsidy involved, they'd be stark-raving mad not to.
And I also predict a flurry of *****-posts like:
They changed my plan without telling me. This is BS man!

And all I have to say (in advance) is: YOU WERE WARNED...and if you re-upped a contract, you AGREED to it.
well when you buy the phone it tates that your plan will be switched to a G1 plan, so whoever is crying, stop it, cause i was told and if i remember correctly it stated that the plan would be changed to a g1 plan on the preorder screens with info and stuff
Need to sticky this or something like it.
you can use your phone with older simcard (not 3g) and can use 5.99 plan in this phone, the only problem is that where you take the phone, if take with tmobil , have to pay 25 $ more for data plan and 3g but if you take that in ebay or other place , dont have to pay nothing extra.

LOL.
T-Mobile DOES NOT have seperate sim cards that support 3g and some that don't.
Well I could be wrong, but you'd have to have a very very very very very very old sim card.
I'm using a 4-5 year old simcard and 3g works just fine with it.
I was kinda mad to learn that they wiped all my services... I understand the texting and data... but they took off my mobile to mobile and I can't add it back online... for now I am not going to worry but will bring it up if I notice an issue on the bill.

I didn't get a new sim card, either.
The only time I've gotten a new sim card was when I moved from Michigan to Illinois and wanted an Illinois phone number. Apparently (or at least at the time) an Illinois number needed an Illinois SIM, and I had to go to a store to pick it up, because T-Mo said they don't have extra SIMs lying around to ship out.

Only new customers will get a SIM, there is no need for existing customers to receive a new SIM card. T-Mobile made changes on the back end to allow for existing SIMs to connect on 3g.
I received a sim in both G1 packages... the one to my house and the one at the store.
yes i received a new sim too.

You dont get a new one if you are already with them but u could ask for one and they should give you a new one if you like as i was told by a tombile rep at the retail store.
I am going to be headed over to Taiwan and China for the next couple of weeks so I called TMO to get an international plan to receive data. Well turns it out THERE IS NO SUCH PLAN and that each 1mb of data equals $15. Yeah I could put in a local SIM card but that won't give email and internet. And why should I, the N1 is touted as an international phone. This news was thoroughly disappointing because I will now have to rely on my crappy Blackberry for email (which is the reason I switched to Android in the first place). If there any international travelers here please let me know if there are any tricks that I should be aware of. Otherwise this is disappointing that a GSM phone can be used outside the US only if you willing to be bent over the table without any... you get the point.
i went to australia earlier this year and encountered the same problem.their international plans suck major ass.only thing i could do was pull sim card and run off wifi using any hotspots that i could find.
yea blame T-Mobile...I'm curious what other carrier in the US has a international roaming plan?

One of the reasons I have TMO is because of their fantastic international roaming coverage. That is why I was surprised to see that they have none for the Nexus.
As far as international roaming plans, every carrier does, just not for the Android. So yeah I'm putting that blame on TMO and Google.
I'm pretty sure every carrier has insane pricing for international roaming.
The benefit of gsm phones is that you pop a sim card for wherever you're going, not that you're carrier will support you in east bumblefuck.
All carriers are like that. That is why when the iphone first came out people were returning home with $3K phone bills. http://boingboing.net/2007/07/31/att-iphone-intl-roam.html
http://gizmodo.com/297999/idiots-keep-incurring-iphones-roaming-data-charges
The phone is an international phone but the plans aren't. Get a SIM with a data plan. When I go overseas that is what I do. Typically $100 will give you unlimited data and enough minutes and texts to last your whole trip. At the end of a trip overseas I usually have minutes left over.
Yeah, I don't see why you think you won't get internet over there from a local phone company, since they would be the one providing internet to you anyways with your T-Mobile card (They just charge T-Mobile a small amount, and T-Mobile jacks up the price to make money off you).
Just get a pre-paid sim card with internet access.

LoL gotta save this one to my "cursing without getting banned " stack
I'd recommend you to buy a new prepaid sim card with a data plan.
Here in India, we get a new sim card for Rs.20 (every street has ~5 shops) and 2GB data for Rs.90 and there are no stupid contracts (even if there were, we'd buy it on fake identities)... Thats the benefit of living in a developing nation

+1 Same thing here if you were visiting Australia. You can buy a Telstra prepaid sim for $2 which when charged with some credit gives you exceptional coverage and good data speed. Works best on the 900mhz AT&T phone although will still work well on the 850mhz T-Mobile model.
Thanks everyone for your feedback, much appreciated.

T-Mobile = 900/AWS(which is 1700)/2100

Ah yes sorry. Had that rrrrrs about. Should have said "Works best on the 850mhz AT&T phone although will still work well on the 900mhz T-Mobile model."
The phone is a fine international phone. The carrier sucks. How is the phone to blame if TMO doesn't offer an international plan?
I travel from Romania to Netherlands and every time i'm in Netherlands i insert my prepaid Vodafone NL card and i activate the internet for 10 euros. 500mb - 1GB of data per month.
If i'm using more than that i buy again for another 10 euros. Is that simple. That's what you should do. A local prepaid sim with an internet service is ALWAYS going to be cheaper than an international plan from TMO.
too bad you guys in US have very bad telcos, here in malaysia we can roam data for less than USD10 unlimited data per day.
but of course not in all countries in the world.

He's talking about roaming... If you do that without a dataplan a couple of hundred megs would probably set you back several thousand $.
Yeah, ditto re: getting a prepaid SIM card on arrival. I haven't tried it in Asia, but in the UK, £5 will buy you 1GB of data to be used in 30 days, on Vodafone. I didn't even have to pay for the SIM card itself. Very pleased.
If you speak the language in China, just go to a China Mobile store, pick up a SIM card and put some yuan in it and you'll be good to go. I go to China every summer and have taken my G1 and my N1. You'll be stuck on edge but its enough to get you places. China Mobile stores are everywhere too, some have employees that speak english for just this purpose.
I pick up pre-paid SIM cards when I land at the airport in the airport store... Or if it's an area I'm familiar with, i.e. Australia, I just head to a local carrier's B&M once I'm in the city...
Then anyone who is half-way important... I send them an e-mail with my pre-paid SIM card's number. If it's important to text or call me, the caller can pay the Int'l charges.
Cheers,
Kermee

When I got my Atrix from AT&T in the mail it did come with a new SIM card, but it wouldn't activate, so I just used my old one from my iPhone 3GS days and then used it for a whole year in my Nexus One without issues.
A. I didn't think you needed a different SIM to get [fake] 4G service.
B. What plan are they talking about...I thought I could continue to use my iPhone UNLIMITED plan.
I smell BS. Thoughts? Should I go into the local store and see what this is all about??

You don't need a 4g sim, the 3g is the same thing. Now they do have an unlimited 4g plan if you were on another 3g unlimited plan. I had to go to a corporate store to switch it over, I tried online but it errored out. This obviously didn't give me any faster speeds but I might as well have it.

You will be able to continue your grandfathered unlimited plan. But the iphone has a different plan in regards of voicemail etc.
It's no BS. Just make sure they catch it that u have the unlimited data already, which they have to activate.

No more unlimited
They want you to sign up for a capped plan. I want to know how they can tell. I would happily accept 3G data plan performance. I am just occasionally using the phone with SIM for testing, so I really don't want that...
Maybe the default APN is different for 4G phones from ATT. I wish I had an old Android that I could check settings from.
I see AT&T US and AT&T HSDPA as options. I am think of switching it to AT&T US, I think this might put us in "stealth" so to speak.
Like you, I swapped my sim rom an older 3g phone, namely the vibrant unlocked, to the attic and my data didn't work at all. What's worse is that when I go to the at&t store, they told me that they could put data back on it but it wouldn't be unlimited ( I grandfathered in ) . I told them that I don need their *fake* 4G . I just need my regular good o' 3g . What I had to do was file a request to them and waited about a week before someone called and finally gave me the unlimited plan that was promised in my contract. Quite an experienc eh?
I still have my old Cingular SIM card, and it works fine for me.
A 4G sim is not needed for the Atrix. It is for when they have LTE later this year. Do not let the reps lie to you about anything. The HSDPA+ that the Atrix uses is just a better 3G, that's all.

I think you *do* have to use a newer 4G SIM. Either way the phone usually comes with one.
If you need one you can literally walk into any AT&T store and get one for free in like 2 minutes without a hassle.

The new sim cards they are giving out are just 3G sim cards with a 4G printed on it. Trust me, that's the only difference.
They just need your new IMEI
Turns out that there is nothing sneaky going on at all. I bought the phone without them knowing about it, so their system doesn't have my new IMEI number recorded. I'm in an area with HSPA+, so I guess they see that there is an unknown IMEI on there logged in with my SIM, so they texted/email me. In any case, I called them up and they just asked for the IMEI and updated my plan to work with it. I had an iPhone 3G w/Unlimited before, and I still do now. The customer service rep was really nice and just figured out how to get me the exact same features (unlimited, messaging, etc) without me even asking.
Hi everybody!
Looking for some advice from US members.
I'm gonna travel in US for almost a month: couple weeks at Hawaii and couple weeks for LA, SF and NY.
Could somebody suggest a best pay as you go plan for this trip not for calls but for unlimited data or something looks like unlimited. I got Nexus S 3G. And is there this roaming prices or it doesn't matter where you actually is in US?
PS: Surely I can look through all the networks websites but I just thought that locals should know this and the answer won't take much time.
Thanks!
T-Mobile USA offers a no-contract package for US$30 a month that gives you 100 minutes talk, unlimited (to the US) SMS and unlimited 3g data (speeds throttled to 2g after 5gb use).
http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/monthly-4g-plans
Nationwide coverage, roaming included. You might have to pay the activation fee (usually US$35) but that's about the only option in the US that is GSM, works with any unlocked phone, and offers what you're looking for.
Thanks a lot! That's what I needed
Cheers!

This won't work for a Nexus S though (Boost is CDMA I believe)... and the shrinkage wouldn't happen for a long time. I'm on the $30 a month T-Mobile one and it works great! Make sure you have the right radios for your phone to work on T-Mobile though. Also, the plan does come with 4G (at least if you consider HSPA+ 4G...). Otherwise, AT&T will give you 500 MB on prepaid for $25 a month and you can combine that with a few options for text and talk. The only problem with the T-Mobile deal is that it is online only (unless you get it at Walmart), so you will have to go a few days without service while you wait for your sim to arrive.

AT&T with 25$ for 500 Mb is not even close to T-Mobile's offer.
Probably I have to order sim few days prior arrival. Does Walmart always have these sim's in stock?
What I didn't get is how to buy this plan. There is no option to buy simcard with this plan. So do I have to buy just simcard without a plan than activate it and choose a plan? If so why I can't do it by buing sim at tmobile office?
There are Walmart stores all across the country. When you buy it there they'll give you the activated sim right there in store. US GSM carriers toss the sim in free when you buy the plan... part of the activation fee. And no special radios required. T-Mobile uses the international 3g bands. Its at&t that uses weird frequencies

Just saw on twitter that if you have a 5G device on T-Mobile and you are using your old 4G SIM card you need to get a new pink "R15" SIM card. My N20U is unlocked from Samsung so I didn't get this new SIM card but I am requesting one from T-Mobile online nowm. I'm wondering if this is why my T-Mobile 5G speeds have been slower than my 4G speeds?

Thanks for this info, i was wondering why my speeds are low. Though i am a little skeptical that this dependency should not exist so i have reached out to T-Mobile will update as soon as i hear from them.
Update- i can confirm that a new sim is needed to be able to use the full 5G potential. My speeds are still the same as my old sim was giving me which is not more than 4G LTE. This might have to to with my location and with the update from Samsung side thats pending so we can use 5G SA. I will check mmwave speeds when i can ( WHen i venture out in midtown Manhattan).

Unlocked Note 20 Ultra on T-Mobile network, using the same sim card I've used for 5 years and my 5G speeds are twice as fast as my 4G speeds. It's exactly the same on my LG V60, don't think the sim card is the culprit!
I've got a T-mobile locked from Samsung and the same sim for years and would like to know if these speeds would improve by activating the 5G sim? Right now it's as fast as my 100mbs cable from Spectrum.

I went on the T-Mobile app chat and was able to get one for $10.60 with tax and they upgraded the shipping to overnight shipping for free. I have read you can just walk into a T-Mobile store and get one for free, but the closest store to me is like 45 mins away so I'll just pay the $10.60.

Thanks. Just ordered one from T-Mobile, $10.90 plus free shipping. Most Tmobile stores charge $25 for a regular sim. The R15 will probably cost even more.
I got one in the box, just switched over via online at no cost, my speed actually dropped but probably due to congestion. Its for the new stand alone signal which is not in my area anyway. I'll check speeds again tomorrow.

Went to the Tmobile and they did it for free in Canton, GA area.
Well just went to the store and they wanted $10 plus tax. Guess it varies by store.

So weird tell them that you were told by tmobile help over phone that there are no charges. Also make sure that when the sim comes out there would be 2 bar codes on the Card before the sim is taken out of it, the top barcode should end in 70 (Thats the 5G one). See Picture

That's exactly what I told the rep but he said he can't waive the fee. Will try a different store tomorrow.
