Just curious about what plan you guys are on. I currently have the $54.99 unlimited talk text and web for 2 years. For me it's the cheapest i have ever been with tmobile. Hope to see other cheaper plans.

Value Plan 2 lines unlimited tàlk + text + data (2G each before throttling to Edge) for $100/mo. Great deal!
From HTC G2 with xda premium.
T-Mobile has been screwing my wife and I over. We dropped a $10 month 3rd line 4 times already and it keeps being added back on. We were put on a Value Plan 7 months ago where we were paying $15 a month per line for Unlimited data and now all of a sudden its $30 a month per line.....plus they added $7.99 a month insurance to both of our phones that I never authorized.
They told us about the new "Value Plan" With unlimited talk+text+and data for $110 a month for 2 lines is what they told us.....but in order to do this we have to pay a $200 per line "Migration Fee" to the new plan which is the same price as cancelling our contract. I've been with T-Mo for 8 years and they do this? **** you T-Mobile.
I have an unlimited family plan for voice, text, and data and its about $50 per line for 4 lines.
I'm paying just over $100 a month for two lines for my wife and I. This is after a 15% discount as a government employee. We have unlimited texting, 200MB data each, and 1000 shared minutes. It seems we could be getting more for our money. I've called and asked about changing plans and they always tell me it would cause my contract to end which would mean we would then have to pay retail for our phones (MyTouch 4G and MT4G Slide). So far I'm not too pleased with the deal since they assured me during signup that my total monthly would be closer to $80 after taxes, fees, and the 15% discount. Any ideas?

Youre paying $100+tax for 2 lines right? I think you should be getting unlimited talk text and web for that price. Ask about their "customer care plan". Thats how i got my 54.99. They dont advertised it.
As for my situation, i wanted to get the sgs2 for $199. They told me in order to get that phone at a discounted price, i would have to get the $79.99 plan unlimited talk text and web(2gb highspeed). And if im getting the 54.99 plan, i would pay the whole price of 529.99. $230 down pmt and $15 charge every month until i paid off the balance. I did some math and i decided to get 54.99 plan and just get the phone when im ready instead of paying $80 a month. You think i chose correctly? The phone can wait, i just want to get a cheaper plan.

That's basically the same **** they did to us. They kept adding on random crap that we didn't want.
Told them to **** off, paid the ETF's and went to AT&T. Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm more satisfied with AT&T then T-Mobile, and I hope they get bought out.
Classic 1000 (4 voice lines) two are mine

EM MBB 10GB Overage Free Sonic Hotspot (5th line but no Voice, so I can still add a fifth voice line if I choose)

Uhh...actually they throttle you to zero
It just shuts off after 30mb, and you'd have to spend more or renew the plan early for more. Which kinda sucks, but I hardly use it - the first couple months (with my old hacked iPhone) I didn't even reach the limit.
Oh, and rough estimate, T-mobile EDGE is about 130 Kbps download/80 upload, that's what I've seen. Sorta like ISDN speeds.

1. There is no $15 data SOC for Value Plans. It's $10 for 2GB, $25 for 5GB and $55 for 10GB.
2. The insurance roots back to where you got the phone from. I advise going to them.
3. You say you're on the Value plan and you're still complaing about the Value plan having a migration fee. It's basically the discount on a phone. Value you get a discounted plant. Classic you get a discounted phone. You can't have both. So the "migration" is basically asking for the discount back. You can't double dip.
I think you're being misinformed and there is some miscommunication along the way. They do give you a break down of the bill when you renew any type of contract. You should have saved it. Could use that to argue the charges.

Wrong buddy. I paid cash out right for both of out MT4Gs, but good try. We switched to a lower plan 4 months after buying the phones out right with no new 2 year contract. We tried to switch to the value plan but they want 200 per phone to do it. I'm not currently on the value plan.

So I bought my evo off of my wife's family plan she shares with her side of her family. She added her brother, so he said that he would give me the evo for the hero. Fair trade in my eye . So I call sprint last night and the rep says that they have a better plan called Simply Everything 500--500 minutes instead of 450 and $59 instead of $69. Now they still add the $10. So essentially my plan is $69 (w/the $10 inculded) with 500 min. and everything else the same. He mentioned that they will be switching people over to it without them knowing. Don't know how, but anyway. I thought it was a good deal so I took it. Now I just wonder will I still get my $20 a month credit and 15% discount back on there? Yes my plan after taxes will be about $54/month. That's why I love sprint.
Anyone else here of this plan?
Interesting..would like to know more about this.
thats just the "new" sero plan.
you won't get any discounts on it.
better off getting the regular plan and getting your discounts applied
Did some research and found out that this plan is called the Everything Plus 500 which use to be called the SERO plan. I had SERO for years before they said that you can't get it with the hero. Now I'm back on it!!! Hell yeah.
Wait a minute just thought of something, when I got the Hero I had a choice between this Everything Plus 500 and the Simply Everything for $69.99. The only real difference was that you couldn't get any discounts on the Everything Plus 500 plans, only discounts were applied to the Simply Everything plans. guess I have to call sprint back and see if I keep my discounts or revert me back to my old Simply everything 450 plan for $79 (but prob. total $65 after discounts added).

You're right. I just did the math and I would end up paying more on the Plus 500 plan. Gonna call Sprint right now and get this reverted back. That $20 credit a month is a great thing

I had to do the same thing. We had an Everything Plus family 1600 plan for $109 but we lost our 25% discount. I ended up changing it to the regular version of this (with only 1500 minutes) for $129 so the discount would apply.
I went back and forth with them for a while because for the first 3 months they kept the discount on that Plus plan. Ive ALWAYS had discounts with my old SERO plans event hough they claim you cant. Out of the blue they removed my 25%, and I had no choice but to switch plans.
Don't forget on the eprp plans you get WiFi tethering for $20 not $30

It is called Everything Plus 500; it is the new Sprint Sprint Employee plan after the SERO price jack 2+ years ago. There is NO chance/NO possibility that you will get any sort of % employee/corporate discount.
However, if you were promised $20 or $10 credit, you may be able to get it reapplied if you fight for it.
For most people Everything Data 450 is cheaper after employee discount.
$89.99 for two simply everything lines w/1200 anytime minutes per line, unlimited web, unlimited text messages, unlimited mobile-to-mobile. Add $10 for the EVO service. I'm still cheaper than an Iphone plan on one line.

Just saw a commercial for 10 dollar 4g plan. Anyone know what that plan is? Is it a lower data cap or is it just a "free" sample kind of deal?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Its going to replace the current 15 dollar plan its 200 mb if you go over it .10 per mb with a 30 dollar overage cap. So if you used a ton you would end up paying 40 in total. So I would start with the unlimated for one month see how much you use. If under 200 mb just do the 10 I don't think its out yet though.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
its out but with 3000 min plan
On t-mobile, new customers receive the 10 dollar 200mb option. Existing customers must switch to the promo version if the even more plans (even if they are on an even more plan currently). This promo plan is the only version available to new customers.
For existing customers I call the 200mb feature the 15 dollar web because that is how much it costs if you don't change to the newer plans.
Switching to the 10 dollar web plans does extend the contract on ALL lines on your account but doesn't affect your upgrade dates.
The best plan in my opinion is the 4g do more 3000 min promo plan for 149.99. 3k minutes, unlimited text for the family, and unlimited 4g web for 2 phones. Additional lines are only 5 bucks to share minutes. I've been off since sunday but I'm pretty sure this 3k plan is still available. On this 3k promo plan unlimited 4g web is only 20 dollars per line including additional lines.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Also.. This 3k plan does require at least 2 phones to have unlimited data.
Also keep on mind.. This isn't very obvious to even sales reps.. But smartphones like the g2 and the mytouch 4g are considered premium smartphones so they do require the unlimited web in order to receive their rebates. The tag says data plan required but t-mobile's internal says that the unlimited feature is required for rebates. This can be very confusing because you are given the option of the 200mb feature on all phones.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I called today and switched two of our five lines to the $10/mo 200mb data plan- my G2 and my boyfriend's Vibrant. We don't live in or near a 4G area (or 3G or Edge for that matter) and since we're mostly on wifi, and don't use much cell data, it made sense and saves us $40/mo. If we do go over, its capped $-wise at what we were paying, so no big deal.
Our contract was not extended, and the rep was very helpful.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
You must have already been on the promo version of the even more plan.. How long ago did you start the current plan that you are on? The 10 dollar feature is not offered I the system to previous plans.

The $5 add a line ended on Tuesday....its back to $10 add a line now. The 4G 3k plan is still up and running though.
Feel free to do whatever you want. My advice is stick with the unlimited data plan. The first time you go over your gonna be really really sorry.

we have 5 lines, 750 min even more plan, $15 unlim family texting, unlim data on one line, 200mb on three lines (now) and no data on the last line, family allowances and insurance on three lines.
I plead the case that we don't get 4G or even 3G where we live and use wifi most of the time, which the rep could see from past billing cycles, and it was rather unfair for us to have to pay for something that TMo cannot provide, and that we do not/can not use.
she made the change retro to the beginning of this current billing cycle and was very nice about it.
like I explained before, we have been paying for unlim data on the two lines that were changed, so saving money is a bonus. if we go over, it won't be by much, so no matter what, the bill will always be less than it used to be.
These new plans are to get you off the unl everything and will end up costing you more in the end. Keep up with the two giants and you will see what tmo is doing. Its all compitition. Plans like these are the reason why at&t sit where they are. Number 1 wireless carrier. Vzw has been on at&t's ass for awhile now and with the iphone coming in? Customer base may increase significantly. Give tmo some cool phone and better data and they too can have a good customer base.

Any Mobile any time

my bill is $240~$250 after my employee discount....I thought about switching to T-mobile since they have great 4g coverage in my area but I would get no discount and my bill would sky rocket into the $300 range.
1 phone, evo obviously.
I'm on the everything 450 with TEP
$77/month after discount
I used to pay $172/month on verizon with a blackberry and 1400 minutes. NOt only did save $90/month, but I realized all my calls were to cell phones anyway, so I haven't even come close to going over my minutes.

We have the same exact plan with the same exact phones man! crazy.
My bill is $204.50 every month with the 5 lines. That's with the 24% discount I get from my employer. I hope to god that the discount never goes away!
I pay $30 for my line and $60ish for my girlfriends line, So $90 a month, can't beat that.
My line is a concession line because I'm an indirect dealer and my girlfriends line is in my name so she gets my 22% discount.
I pay to goddamn much. 2 lines, shared 3000 minutes so I could retain my Gold Premier (Bullsh!t) is 169.00 a month, plus taxes, etc....
After taxes and surcharges I pay $176 a month,
That's an Evo, a Transform, a Crackberry, and a Sanyo Dumb Phone with 1500 Family Shared Unlimited plan. I get a 23% discount from work.
I have 2 Evos on a family plan 1500 everything data for 125 bucks after my corporate discount. Plus 9.99/month to Best Buy for insurance (no questions asked, no deductable, my wife is hard on phones)
1line evo
450 min
Unlimited data text
n &w starts 7
27% discount
Total after taxes 62.00
Been with sprint with for 15 years. Not going anywhere
Bought phone at bestbuy 199.99 but got free buyback which means that I get 40% of original price($650.00) when I trade it in next Feb. Ill keep doing the buy back every year cause it means bestbuy will pay me to use a phone for a year.
2 EVOS with 1500 minutes shared.
$132 after taxes & 25% discount.
2 phones
- 1 Epic 4G
- 1 E3D or Nexus S (depending on the day)
$155.00/month with TEP on both lines for 1500 minutes Everything data plan. This includes a discount I get due to my employer.
3 lines .. Evo's ... 1500 everything.. work discount ... 145$ a mo.
why not switch to 1500? 3000 would be ideal if 50% of your phone calls are to land lines.

How is everyone else getting a cheaper price?

750 daytime, n/w @ 8pm/ unltd data/ SMS/ mms/ roaming e.t.c. Have had this plan since '02. Only downside, stuck with Win Mobile, can't get on the Android/webOS/WP7 bangwagon (at least not legitimately) without nearly tripling my bill. No way !!

Might "look" that way, wait till the bill comes though... don't get the 5GB plan. the 2GB plan is more than enough. Just connect to wifi while you're home. I have 2 GB and don't even use half of it.

yes. i had web2go on Nexus. bought MyTouch 4G (used) and could not connect to internet, called tmobile and they switched me to 5GB data plan for the same price, at least thats what rep said.....and i asked him twice to make sure there are no additional costs. my plan at tmobile.com is 500 min + 5GB 4G data for $39 bucks. This month is prorated so its not 100% clear. Its still $39 bucks, but data is split 8 bucks of web2go and 3 bucks on 4G web

I have something similar. My sensation (international version) didn't work, so I was going to get the Android Preferred but I didn't want to extend my plan 2 years because of AT&T. They gave me $10/month off for taking the Android Preferred with 2 years extension... - okay, I checked and this shows up as credit adjustment under the main family account

I asked too and after consulting a manager the rep offered 5GB for $25 a month. (Its usually more). I just took the 200MB plan. ($10)
You're lucky
Well not that lucky. Turned out that rep LIED to me. (I asked him many times if I will still be paying $10 for my 5gb data and he said yes) 1st month I did end up paying $10 bucks, but 2nd month they charged me $25. I called them up and they refunded me $15 bucks and I also had to switch to Valve plan with 2-year contract. Now I get 2GB data for $10 bucks. My bill used to be $40 with 5GB and now its $45 with 2GB. (i only use 1.5-2.0GB max though)
I was pretty pissed....not really because I had to switch, but because of that STUPID rep.
never agree to the solutions they offer. Always ask them to fix the problem and remove whatever they added to your account.
then go to the store and start over. the "fixing" is always good on their end. it's on the books. you just agreed to a 2yr contrat w/out even a free phone

For me there was no other solution, and there was no contract either. $10 200MB and then "unlimited" 2G

Correction, the T-mobile rep LIED to me too. Even after I repeatedly verified. There are overage charges on the $10 data plan. (They removed it for me after I called, but only once)
There are no overages only if you are on the "Value" or "Classic" plans. I am on the old even-more-plus no-contract plan.
Note: Only the classic plan lets you get a subsidised phone. And switching to "value" or "classic" both require a 2 year contract.
Sad t-mobile, sad.
I dont know where people get that Tmobile is #1 in customer service.....every single time I call its a lie after lie......followed by another lie
They are usually nice on the phone...compared to att. No other carrier can match their rates either.
(5 lines, 1000 min , 3 lines with 2GB high speed data then unlimited 2G for $95/month)
Good News - ATT is offering a new mobile data share plan w/unlimited Talk & Text. More data for less, new data share plan included 10GB of data

This change cut $80 off of my bill overnight!! I was on the original 10gb share plan with 4 smartphones. Now my data plan has dropped $20 from $120 to $100 and I'm saving $15 on each device fee. :thumbup::thumbup::sly:

I think I got duped. I called up and she claimed that I can convert my 4 contract phones over to this plan however that there is only the 40 dollar rate for each line, and I'll actually see 15 bucks per line on the bill. The change is effective on 2/4/2014 which is when my billing cycle changes... I guess I'll check back at the end of the month and have a long discussion with AT&T about it.
That is great news, any saving is good savings

It's pretty much a modification of the Family Share Value plan introduced not that long ago. The biggest pricing discrepancy between T-Mobile and AT&T was that AT&T charged the same monthly fee per device whether you bought it outright, got it with Next, or brought your own. With the introduction of the recent Family Share Value plan people who got their phones as described above were given a $15 a month discount on the monthly service fee per non-subsidized device. My two went from $40 to $25 per month. With the new plan announced today, if you're not using a subsidized phone, the $25 per month drops to $15. It starts at 10GB so it's really targeted at families/groups and large data users. My 6GB plan with two non-subsidized devices ($25 a month each) was $116. With the new 10GB plan it's $109 because while the data component went up a bit each device dropped $10 ( $15 a month).
So it's a great deal if you aren't using a subsidized device, have a lot of (non-subsidized) lines on your account, or are a big data user. It's pretty meaningless to those with subsidized phones. But it's meant to be a T-Mobile deterrant and you can't get subsidized phones from them directly anymore anyway. You can but only through resellers along with 2-year contracts and different rate plans that are pretty comparable to AT&T subsidized rates.
I was also on the 6GB plan (2 lines). Upgraded to this and now have 10GB for $15 less. Winning!
Can anyone who had a contract tell me exactly what is listed for the specific phone charge? I have attached how it shows up on mine and am a bit worried even though I am told that the 15 dollars will apply to each of my 4 lines

You're not on a Mobile Share plan and I can't tell if the devices on your account are subsidized or not. The per device monthly discount only applies to non-subsidized devices (finished 2-year contract, purchased outright, Next, or bring your own). To get any of the discounts we're talking about you'd need to move to a Mobile Share plan and if you have devices on your account that are subsidized the monthly charge you pay for them won't decrease. With the new 10GB plan non-subsidized devices drop from as high as $40 to $15 per month.

See that's the problem there. I was told by the REP that even though I am on contracts the 15 dollar will apply. Its like I am getting an exemption. I will call them back
Also "The most surprising part of today's announcement is that current customers with on-contract phones can switch to the new pricing structure. Starting tomorrow, you can simply call up AT&T and ask to switch to a Mobile Share Value plan with 10GB or more of data, and you'll drop from paying $40 per smartphone down to just $15" the following was reported via the verge at http://www.theverge.com/2014/2/1/5368768/att-discounts-large-mobile-share-value-plans paragraph 6.
She actually set the plan up to take effect on 2/4/2014 which coincides with the start of my billing cycle.
I will call them back and cancel the changes. I would be going from paying 199 minus discounts to 235 minus discounts and that makes no sense for me.

This is from the new program's conditions. Anyone with subsidized phones can't also be on a "no annual service contract" agreement. Installment agreement refers to Next. Who knows, maybe the CSR you talked to is giving you some additional discounts or exceptions. It's pretty much the Wild Wild West over at AT&T lately in their effort to keep customers from T-Mobile.
Pricing for Value plan w/ 10 GB data ($100/mo.) plus per smartphone pricing ($15/mo.) on no annual service contract or on an installment agmt.

Anyway thanks for the information. I just got back off the phone with ATT rep along with a online chat and I was informed that I will get charged the 40 dollar a month for the 3 lines and will receive a 25 dollar credit for each line. OF course I would only see that credit on my Next Bill and following bills. I will have to hope the reps I spoke to are correct, if not I'll be calling them back when my next bill shows up.
Here's to crossing my fingers.
While this is great and all but I would rather keep unlimited data on 3 lines family plan with unlimited text messaging and 500 mins with roll over for $160 a month. Until they take away the unlimited that is. Hopefully not anytime soon.

With the monthly device fee down to $15, Next finally makes sense. It's now cheaper (as long as you want/need 10GB of data) than buying the phone subsidized. And that's not even taking in to account the "new device after 12 months" benefit of Next. Here's how the numbers work out based on current AT&T prices.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm on the 10GB Mobile Share Plan and while all my devices are subsidized, the cost per smartphone is just $30.
