hmm.. i just got my phone and still havent seen my first bill.. i was wondering "What's your T-Mobile bill?" if your line is added with someone else.. just add only the bill for the G1.
I have a family plan: 3000 shared min and my last bill was for $760.00 USD, because I travel outside the US and used the data plan..

whoa that sucks.. nah, im just asking for the G1 phone bill.. as an individual
$98 on the average. 1000mins and unlimited data plan
$79.99 MyFaves 2 lines 1500 minutes + $9.99 unlimited messages + $24.99 G1 plan on one + $10-$15 in 'taxes,fees, etc'....per month
70ish, I'm jewish and only got the basic 300 minutes plus unlimited data.
Im on a nice deal, 300 texts and 600 mins for £10... accidently went £75 over first month of having me g1 hehe!
$10 a month...unlimited data and texts, something like 2000anytime minutes (family member works at T-Mobile)
edit....plus $6 for the insurance on my G1
Individual Basic ($29.99) + G1 Data with 400 sms ($24.99) - 15 percent freelancers union discount + taxes and fees = about $55/mth
I'm obviously not on T-Mo, but my monthly bill is 22 bucks which includes unlimited data (though only 20 GB of HSDPA data) and 100 minutes/100 texts. I never use more than 100 minutes in a month though, usually not even a third of that.
scrub scrub
I spend like $81 USD I think? I have the lowest minute plan, 300 or w/e with the data plan, plus insurance on my g1.
$87/mo
1500 minutes - unlimited night/weekends/unlimited data/unlimited messaging
£25
800 Mins
Unlimited texts
Unlimited Internet
400 international texts
$68
1000 minutes
G1 data plan with unlimited texts and data
15% school discount
80 a month
300 minutes
unlimited web and messaging
I'm on a family plan with my roommate. We share 800 minutes with myfaves and I have the G1 unlimited plan. I think my half is $65. MyFaves is really great if you dont call many people... 90% of my friends text almost exclusively.
If you guys pay more than $50 for just your voice plan then call Tmo. $49.00 unlimited nationwide voice for customers that have 22 months of history with them. I just saved myself $40 or so dollars. No contract extension.
My bill with tax for unlimited nationwide calling, unltd txts, data, is $94 and some change.
**edit - just dial 611 and ask for this - they'll tell you about it.

lol...me the wife and kids are on a grandfathered plan since 2006
49.99 1000 anytime minutes...free mobile to mobile (helps that both our families and most of our friends have t-mobile as well) between 4 phones we usually use about 400-450 minutes a month.
14.99 unlimited text messaging (covers all our phones on the account)
24.99 data plan for my G1
19.99 blackberry plan for my wifes curve
10.00 x 2 for each of our daughters additional lines
I called them just yesterday to see if they are doing anything special like the $50.00 unlimited plan, but for families...sadly they dont. however, she said that because we have been with them for just shy of 10 years...she was able to discount my unlimited text package to 4.99 a month and gave me the option of another upgrade on my account (I just used my upgrade in October to buy my G1).
I love tmobile customer service

If I remember correctly the loyalty family plan is supposed to be out by now and it is a little more expensive thou. Something like 100 for the first two phones and 35 for each additional.
EDIT: Check out this screen of what I see when I log in... that is 50 a month plus 40 for each additional. and 5 for messaging
Just got off chat with t-mo. Below is part of the transcript. Important lines are in bold.
kcaj32: I have one more question about that account
kcaj32: the new line I added is an HD2
tmo CS: I can see that you are typing. I just want to let you know I am still here.
kcaj32: a good friend of mine also has the HD2 and he told me that you guys have a new unlimited data plan for $20 a month for that phone instead of the $30 I had to sign up for. He told me that he already switched to the $20 unlimited data for smartphones plan. Can you add that to my new line instead of the $30 plan?
kcaj32: The line I'm talking about is 916-xxx-xxxx
tmo CS: I will check to see if that feature is available for your account. It may take me a few moments.
kcaj32: ok
tmo CS: That feature is available for that line. I have changed that over for you.
kcaj32: ok thats great. I just got an sms too saying that a web plan was changed.
kcaj32: So is this available for everyone? or just some selected people?
tmo CS: It is only available to long time loyal customers.
kcaj32: ok
Got the news from : http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/HTC-HD2/New-20-Preferred-Smartphone-Unlimited-Web-for-HD2/td-p/360447
I logged into my primary account (android line) and I have the @20 a month option there too.
I havea grandfathered Family plan:
700 min
Unlimited Nights & Weekend
MyFavs on all lines (works great with Google Voice)
and now $20 data on all lines
This is the same plan as the $34.99 plan minus the $14.99 unlimited message option so if you had text before switching and are still using text, expect a huge bill at the end of the month.
The $30 plan does not include messaging at all. the plan with unlimited messaging is $35 a month. I have an older plan on my android with unlimited web and 400 messages for $25. And the messaging works for me on my Google Voice account.

Unlimited messaging? no no no....
This is the way the contract is structured for the 2yr
$30 data plan (mandatory)
$10 messaging (optional)
$59.99 for voice (cheapest one you can actually get)

When I signed up for the new line I was offered
$35 for unlimited messaging and data
OR
$30 for unlimited data only
But I guess it you want unlimited messaging as well, you should be able to add it to the $20 account for another $10. That is still $5 less than new customers.
This would be good for me. Been with T-mo for ~7 years and I have the unlimited family loyalty plan (offered before the all-unlimited plans were available) with the $20 addition for unlimited texts. If I can cut my HD2 bill from $25 to $20, I'll take it.
Oh, and, has anybody noticed there's a $5 charge for some sort of device insurance? I've yet to call T-mo and ask about it, but I tried to remove it myself from my plan and I can't. Both of those would be $10 less a month, which, out of my $250~ a month bill, is kind of welcome.

Device insurance is just that. It insures you for any lost or broken device, but I think there is a deductible involved in getting a replacement.
The new insurance rate for HD2 is $7 a mo... if you have it for $5, I'd say keep it (only if you plan on using it in the future)
And $250 a month? how many lines is that? and is it unlimited talk on all lines?
If I'm reading this right, the $30.00 Data Plan includes Web access and personal e-Mail (POP3 or IMAP). The $20.00 Data Plan is only Web access, no personal e-Mail. Niether plan has anything to do with text messages (SMS) or picture messages (MMS). Those are under some other add on plan. I got grandfathered with unlimited text messages for families for $9.99 and can see no reason to change it.
I just tested the $20 plan with a POP3 account and it worked just fine. Its just a discounted plan they are offering to their old customers.

Older customers being the key word here. I had an account with TMO for close to 5 years and now these bozos cannot even find it to allow me to SIM unlock my device...
I hate tmous more and even more every day...
I went to MyTmobile.com, signed in, clicked the manage my plan, shared services, Line specific services. The "preferred" web option was available on my primary smart phone line. I selected it and submitted, then got confirmation. I went back and repeated for my secondary smart phone line, then for my 1st family add-a-line dumb phone line. Total knocked off my bill... $25 a month (two smart phones @ $10 savings each, and one "phone first" @ $5 savings.)
Unlimited Text messaging is included in my family plan.
I hope any trade off for the "preferred" web plan is worth the money. Tmobile USA's normal "Unlimited" is 5Gb a month at full speed, then throttled down above that (no extra fees for being excessive users.) I hope preferred "unlimited" still is.
With the phone first plans, a semi-smart phone as an add-a-line with unlimited web comes out to just $10 extra a month ($5 for add-a-line, $5 for unlimited web). Tmobile considers two semi "internet capable" proprietary OS touchscreen phones as "phone first"... Samsung Highlight and Tmo Tap. Its a shame neither can be ROM flashed to a better OS.
The also have the Nokia Nuron with Symbian with a $10 data plan. Unfortunately the Nuron does not have Wifi. and has a very small screen. I looked at it in costco and it seemed pretty small although it was 3.2". Was looking for my Wife.

Been with TMo for years (I think since they existed.....8-9 years), and I checked and I have that option as well. Currently I have the Unlimited Data + Texts for $35.
I'm thinking of switching to the $20 Preferred Data Plan and the $10 1000 texts for a total of $30 ($5 Savings).
Are we sure that there is no difference between the data plans?
"Preferred Smartphone Unlimited Web Only
Smartphone Unlimited Web Only"
"T-Mobile Smartphone Unlimited Web
For people who love having the Web and e-mail at their fingertips. Includes unlimited Web access and unlimited personal e-mail."
Always looking for some monthly savings
nothing beats the 5.99 unlimited Tzones..
Just got off the phone with a CC rep and as most here have stated it is the same as the $25 web plan just cheaper
And for the Nokia Nuron....it is one of a couple of phones that get the $10 plans for what ever reason.....maybe because the download speeds are super slow My GF had one and the speeds on it sucked and the text messaging was pretty buggy....she ended up returning it.
Thanks for the heads up. I can also confirm that the CC rep told me there are no differences in speeds.
Just switched to the $20 Preferred Unlimited Data and $5 for 300 Texts (is it me or was there a 500 texts for $5......). Saves $10 a month, hopefully I won't go over the 300 texts.....500 would be perfect.

4 lines. the family plan is 90,unlimited
talk only on 2 lines, each additional line is 40, 20 for unlimited text on all lines. 20 unlimited web on my line and 30 unlimited blackberry web on another. plus the 5 insurance. 245.
I'm thinking of switching to the even more plus, i lose subsidy for upgrades, but it's cheaper, 140 2 lined unlimited text and web and calls, plus 30 for two more lined unlimited calls and text. 200, i do mind losing the subsidies, so maybe I'll get new phones subsidized and then switch (you're still bound by the contract, but It's less month to month)
oh and i got offered the 20 plan online, turns out i had android web and it was incompatible, so i was forced to chose the cheaper plan, no complaints, i hope it fixes the slow connection i have though (100 kbps down on 3g)
Wonder if it is really for long term customers or Tmo is just hooking up us HD2 owners
Loyal Customers
I Called T-mobile CC last night and they switched it over for me no prob... Haven't noticed a difference in speed or anything like that
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.

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.

I got the Nexus 4 yesterday and I was looking at T-Mobile plans and the ones that caught my eye was the Monthly 4G or the Value Plan what do you guys think the plans look really I was going to go with the $70 Monthly 4G or the 500 Minutes + Unlimited Text + Data Value Plan for $60. The only difference is one is a two year agreement and no throttling but the monthly does throttling after 5GB of 4G. Please let me know what you guys think. It would be really helpful for me

i'd go with the month to month first. Then if you think you will use more data and you are getting throttled, move to the contract plan. Doubt you'll use over 5GB tho
Say No To Contracts! I went prepaid with the $30 /month unlimited 4G data (5 Gb) /unlimited txt/ 100 minutes. I've got my son on it too. We never used the whole 5 Gb and usually have minutes left over. At 0.10 cents a minute, I can afford to run over once in a while. Works great! This is also frequently called the tmobile walmart plan. Google it.
One of the best things about the Nexus is that it's unlocked and unsubsidized. Why enter into a two year contract when you don't have to?
To me, the Nexus is more about a movement than a cellphone. A movement towards open networks, open devices and consumer freedom to move between networks as you so please. Given this, I'm not sure why you'd want to lock yourself in to a carrier for two years. If you do, make sure you pick up a phone they have with high resell value and get some of your money back that way.
Don't forget all the regulatory taxes and fees on the Value plan.
That having been said, I use the Value plan, for one simple reason: family plan discounts. For individual users, it's hard for me to recommend the postpaid plans, but when you have something like three lines, the Value plans begin to really pay off.
Read on Ars (http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015...customers-to-give-up-plans-raises-price-by-5/) that AT&T will raise their data plans.
Since I rarely use more than 5GB, I think it's time to stick it to AT&T and go with someone else.
I have a 450 minute + 30GB smartphone plan that previously expired and is month to month now.
I would love to really shove it to them though before I leave ...
Anyone know if it is possible to do a phone upgrade with a 2 year plan extension and then leave when they change the pricing without having to pay the termination fee?
Also: any recommendations for GSM based carriers? I usually use around 2GB-3GB of data and once or twice a year 5-6GB for a month.
450 minutes plus rollover was more than enough talk minutes (though that all seems to be unlimited anyhow).
Texts: maybe 10 per month (or less)
