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.

Yup.. nothing on the T-Mobile site
For the first time ever I hit 2gb in one month and then tmobile throttled my speed down to something between edge and 3g...
just for a tip to anyone out there, if you have wifi at home then use wifi while you are at home. I am only throttled from 17th-19th (new billing cycle) but it sucks bad...
That's a bummer. I'm stoked that I have Wi-Fi at home AND work that I tap into. I rarely have to use my data so I don't have that fear of going over. I hope that I never get into a situation where this happens.

I also had the displeasure of being throttled last month. I make it a point to turn on WiFi when I'm at home so that it doesn't happen again. This sucks, considering a lot of apps are using large amounts of data these days. :/
Its only a 2 gig limit for newer customers right? Us oldie customers still get up to 5 I hope!
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
Just an idea for those who haven't considered, you can use apps like Tasker or AutomateIt (free) to automatically turn on wifi when at home using location-based triggers and things like that.
u guys think u had it bad,, i used two gigs of data withing a week of my bill cuz i had to tether to my laptop. so im stuck with this like edge **** for the rest of the month...
Your 2 gig cap is the data feature you have, you can upgrade it to a 5 gig cap if you pay $10 more a month, or you could go with the outrageous 10gig cap for an extra $40 a month on top of what your paying now, wifi is your best bet. Throttled speeds are around 50-100kbps, but hey it beats overages any day

Ok so what if I just have the unlimited grandfathered that I have had for the past five years? Is it now magically just a 2 gig limit instead of the five it always used to be?

Well I haven't touched a thing on my account since the garbage data plans went into effect FOR that reason. So hopefully nothing has changed. I have been very careful cause I knew they would pull a fast one if I so much as took visual voicemail or something off lmfao.

Okay guys I know getting throttled sucks but during this and last month I've had unlimited data! I mean truly unlimited no cap! I've have passed the 5Gb cap and have gotten the infamous text telling me my speed will be slowed. I've been experiencing this since I updated the leaked gingy from t-mobile I don't know if that's the case of my fortunate situation. Last month I used 10.2Gb(lol double checked dang that's a lot!) and right now I'm at 5.5Gb.I'm still at full speed with 18 or so days left on my billing cycle. Is anyone else experiencing this?

If your using the leaked gingerbread, then you are also on the 04.30 radio, which is the thing keeping you from being throttled. This has been confirmed by me and various other users on different roms, as far as I know it's the only radio that can defeat throttling.... somehow. But hey I'll take it

There are people on all different radios that get the throttle text and never get throttled. It really seems like a roll of the dice no matter what radio your on now that you said the .30 doesn't work for all people. All the other radios work for some and not for others as far as throttling goes also.

Oh no, I don't like reading this. I just joined Tmobile because their data plans are cheap and I THOUGHT they had unlimited 3G. I only bought 200MB of 4G thinking I'd be on semi decent 3G but now I'm screwed. Queue buyer's remorse...
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
Verizon.Unlimited.data @ g m a i l . c o m
subject - Unlimited Data XDA
I am Very Happy Now!
ThankYOU XDA! I love this site.

Beware unintended consequences...
I told My Coworker about this, as he recently switched to VZW when amazon was giving phones away for a penny, He got a phone call like 10 minutes after sending him an Email and will have unlimited data on his and his wifes phone in the next day or two.

No this guy is legit. His company has an exclusive contract with Verizon. I've talked with Verizon's business department and confirmed it. Everything is good with this hook up! He's hooked up several of my friends too, very professional!

P.S Verizon doesn't throttle speeds it's rumor... Very rarely only in extremely high trafficked area's like the super bowl etc.. I've used 60 gig this past month ran a bit torrent non stop and no throttling, sure a few fluctuations but still very fast.
I cannot beleive this without proof or evidence. Your just trying to lure people in to make commusion.

Did this worked for you?
This looks a little fake, I don't trust this guy
Does this sound fishy or does anyone know any truth to this?
Thought I would check eBay for some unlimited data plans and I found some.
I eBay searched "Verizon unlimited data"
A couple sellers are selling current contracts and claiming that they will somehow put them in your name. Is this possible? Maybe they work in tech support?
One other seller is claiming that their company is the only one in the US that can add a "VIP data plan" to new or existing customers.
Any knowledge or feedback is appreciated. Check out the auctions and see what u think. FYI I am a new VZ customer still in the cancellation period.

It is possible to transfer a name to another person's account. Its called an AOL (Assumption of Liability). However, ever if the person's account you are transferring to is in good standing, I'm pretty sure you'll still need to pass a credit check to be eligible to take it over.
AOLs are pretty popular due to some people wanting to get out of their wireless contract without paying the ETF by giving it to someone else. And others will be happy to take them over due to having grandfathered features no longer offered to brand new accounts such as unlimited data with Verizon Wireless.
Thanks Nerdydesi. Ant thoughts on the second option?

How to get Verizon Unlimited Data without going through loop holes
There's a better route!
Email this guy verizon.unlimited.data @ gmail.com
ask him about a VIP Pass which will get you unlimited data
He's hooked up several people on XDA with Unlimited Data and he's legit!
Thinking about getting one
BigMiggen did you buy it yet? I also contacted this guy on Ebay about the unlimited data plan, no answer as of yet.
No not yet. I got the double data at 4 gigs and want to see how much I'm actually gonna use first. Watching Netflix looks like the only way to go over for me. I might email that guy and see how much he wants.

Just sent an e-mail his way, keeping my fingers crossed. 4G LTE does not deserve to be limited!!! Coming from ATT unlimited, I'm starting to miss it. As much trouble as they gave me.
By the way, went into a Verizon Wireless store today and attempted to get the rumored unlimited tether plan (even though I'm not grandfathered) from a rep who said it would work - they attempted to add said plan and continued to receive an error. After calling into Verizon Customer Care, the rep on the line confirmed it's been disabled. So even if you are able to fool some rep, if they attempt to put it in, their system will throw an error.
I emailed him 10 days ago. No reply.

The company has a business plan they put you on and bill you directly. I will update and put a link to the new post once I get my first bill from them to make sure it's legit. Although I am typing this on my new s3 they sent me for $150.

I'm on my hacked og using boost. Its on the standard plan, $50 unlimited. The real Android plan is $55 but since my donor wasn't android I cut it down. Had it 3 months, and in 3 more it will be $45. It's a hard plan to beat for the money.
But I can say, I looked at the new evo and just like sprint ...they wanted an extra $10 a month for service. Wtf man, that would bring it to $65....
I'll stick to my same donor and flash something new at some point

Metropcs is stronger than Sprint in the LA area and offer a phone like LG Motion. It's a decent phone and if not, they are adding new phones every month.
U can check boost mobile and virgin mobile. They r not that expensive. Metropcs is a option 2 but it sucks in my area.U may be aviable to flash ur current phone to use with boost,virgin or metropcs. I've seen treads about how to do it.
