whos with me ??
Just switched my plan over, 1 2 3
price stayed the same, now I can use 10-15-20 gbs a month! woot
So it stayed at 49.99 a month?
switched over yesterday and i'm spending $30 on the plan in addition to the talk and text i already have. saving $5/month now and i dont even use the wifi tethering
I'm on the value plan so im paying $5 less for going unlimited as opossed to my 5 Gigs of data
When I switched the tmo rep said the offer would only be available for a limited time, even when they discontinue the offer whoever got it will still be truly unlimited. I don't know if he was just trying to get me to upgrade the other lines though. Any who get it why it last!

Talking advantage now! Thanks! :victory:
I hate Telus. I pay 30 bucks for 6 gigs but they could care less if I tether. They even told me they have no way to check lol...I guess that's a plus. Besides I can't dent 6 gigs if I try...I live in so many wifi hotspots I never use data
I called twice to switch to their new really unlimited plan, and they both said "its the same as 5gb (the one I have), but without tethering. You'll pay $5 less, but you'll still get throttled at 5gb"
Obviously he had no idea what I was talking about. I want to switch and I can't do it from the 'my account' app. Any other way to switch? Will I have to go to the store :banghead: ?
Also, did you notice any changes in speed after switching? (even though I think you have to wait for your current data cycle to end to see the changes)

So I switched my line to the unlimited today and yeah it 10 bones more but damn its going to be nice..!!
And i was tethered to my laptop for a good 30 minutes no problems ..
I was on the 5G and the rep told me that this data plan would cost me $20.. but then again that was the four rep i talked to cause none of them knows a thing

It's $20 bucks for value plans, and $30 for Classic plans. I'm on value plan so I was paying $10 for 2g so now I'm paying $10 more for unlimited. I think its a pretty sweet deal

According to an article on engadget, verizon ceo confirms plans for tiered data pricing. I'm not sure how this will effect customers who have already signed a two year contract. I asked the Verizon rep when I bought my X, and he told me a while back that since I have a contract I won't be affected until it is up, but you know you can't trust them.
Either way, this sucks... way to go Verizon and ruin the best thing you have going for you.
That sucks the big one.

if ur already on an unlimited plan they cant make u chose a a tiered plan it goes against ur contract with them so they would ummm grandfathered ur plan until its expired...
Yes they are all correct your current contract would not be affected. I also saw a story about the Sprint CEO making comments that teired data could be coming to Sprint. Looks like all the carriers will be doing this in the future. Maybe they will use some of that money and upgrade their networks
-McMex
Its just like the new data plans for the iPhone. If you had the unlimited plan before the tiered plans game out you would be grandfathered in. My younger brother had the iphone 3 gs, then cancelled and switched over to the droid x, didn't like it then went back to at&t with the new contract only to find out that he now has tierd data plans.
This will be the same issue for verizon users so stick with your plans and nothing will change. Plus we all know that droid x users consume more data than any other droid product.

If Boost uses a cdma network it's possible. Just a few system changes. For my old Storm it was as simple as changing an xml file to cross to other carriers, but it was a cdma and gsm phone.
This is horrible, first they go from $10 data to $30 data (charging basically what it would cost you to get a voice line) now they **** us again???
AT&T is a joke, went from $30 unlimited to $25 2GB...really?????? you charging basically the same for only 2GB? what a joke, this is complete bull**** if verizon has anything close to that.
Fair $15 2GB $20 5GB
Yeah good thing I just signed for a 2yr with verizon. Cuz THAT BLOWS BIG OLE DONKEY BALLS>
In the future....I'm talking 10/15 years....Tiered Data plans will suck if the limited plans stay at the same cap. Because when 6G comes out and verizon has yet to raise the ceiling on your 200MB plan ...your transfer rate per second will be so fast that within a few minutes you'd hit your 200MB monthly data cap for the whole month. I know the executives are thinking this far down the road and are probably shivering with fear with unlimited plans and are thinking dollars signs with tiered plans. That's why it's so crucial to try to stay on unlimited for the rest of your life.
.....in canada we get pretty much gouged......eat this boys...$25 for. .... Wait for it....500mb.
I am constantly aware of how much i am downloading and up loading. Thank god for wifi everywhere.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
25 bucks for 500MB??? I feel so sorry for you. I'm really curious to see what Verizon proposes. They usually copy everything AT&T does so I'm assuming 200MB/2GB but it may be a little different. Either way it's limiting and those caps will only work with today's technology not tomorrows.
They would be doing this as some people don't use that much data on their smart phones so this lets them pay for what they need at a lower cost. Now for those who use 3-5GB will be screwed, what really sucks is they say the Droid line uses more data than any other smartphone.
But luckily those of us that already have unlimited data plan will not be have to deal with this until you upgrade your device which in that you would be upgrading your contract including that specific detail. Even if you go month to month after your contract they cannot change it on you.
Crap...

LTE is just around the corner, and can already run up to 100/mbps on single antennas without duplexing. Poor sprint.
So if we are grandfathered in...and we upgrade our phones in one or two years, only to find out our unlimited plan isn't "compatible" with the new phone, we'll be forced to get tiered data?
This happened when I went from my dare with $10 unlimited data to my omnia with $30 unlimted data. I wasn't allowed to keep my data plan because it was not compatible.
Does anyone know if this combo would work?
I read around the web and the Vibrant worked.
Does anyone have the web2go plan or even tzone?

Yes, but on the Even More Plus, you are not under contract and pay FULL price for your phone.
If you are still under contract you will pay the Early Termination Fee.
Why throw in something that's only relevant to 1 or 2 people? Most of us are under contract.

If you've been with T-Mobile long enough, i'd say like 2+ years... you can ask them to put you on the Even More plus plans..... they ARE getting rid of these plans as it turns out they are not as profitable as they thought they would be.
I personally think thats the best deal around $60 for all that is unbeatable.
Also, if you have a good credit you put the G2 on Interest-free installments.... I paid $250 down and the rest $250 will be added as $25/month on the my bill each month until I finish out the remaining balance.

Honestly, it doesn't take much to get T-Mobile to lower down your prices. You just have to call retentions and make them budge.
I have two friends that JUST switched to T-Mobile from Verizon about two weeks ago. They got the Even More 750 minutes Family Talk and Text Plan for $79.99, and to one of the lines added a $30 Unlimited Android Data Plan and to the other line a $10 Unlimited Feature Phone Data Plan. So in total, their bill came out $120/month.
What I told them to do the very next day is call T-Mobile retentions and tell them that Verizon came calling back with an offer that they couldn't refuse, and since they were in the 14-day trial period, they could leave T-Mobile without having to pay any contract cancellation fee. T-Mobile is not about to let someone walk away. That is just not good business. So they made a counter offer that they couldn't refuse that looked like this:
Even More 750 minutes Family Talk Plan for $59.99/month
Unlimited Text Messaging for $15/month
Preferred Android Unlimited Data Plan for $20/month
Preferred Feature Phone Unlimited Data Plan for $5/month
10% Off Entire Phone Bill every Month through University Affiliation
2 Months Free of Data Charges
That comes out to $90/month, not even including those two free months of data charges. That's a ridiculously good price if you ask me. So next time you call T-Mobile, push them a little. They'll cave eventually.

It's a rental to activate your SIM card for the unlimited data plan. You're simply renting the 2G iPhone to get the unlimited data plan.

..... and i thought the difference between buy/sell/trade and rent/temporary sell were pretty clear cut.
Buy: purchase item from seller to take ownership
Sell: sell item to interested buyer to make money
Trade: exchange goods you don't need for something you do need
and
Rent: loan to interested party with the promise of it being returned
Temporary sell: ...... rent?
I don't think i've ever seen a hardware rental topic in a PC hardware forum. I know people sometimes will send the hardware to you before you pay just so you can make sure you're not gonna get screwed over, with the expectancy of being paid if satisfied. It's happened to me. Bought a GTX 570 off of someone from Guru3D. So far paid for half of it, and will be paying the second half this week. Wouldn't exactly call that a "rental" though.

I called into T-Mobile to ask them about the Data Services being down yesterday, and they offered me an upgrade from my 2GB to 5GB data plan for $10 (standard)and they threw in Mobile Hotspot/Tethering for free. They also gave me something called My Life or something like that T-Mobile does that downloads and stores all your pics/videos, etc... that I'm not going to use, so I stopped the Rep before she could explain it to me. She said this offer was a one time special offer good only for that phone call, I don't believe that, they offered stuff like that the only other two times I've called in before and said a similar thing, but I'm sure you can call in and ask for it if you are interested in upgrading your data anyway. But I thought to pass it on, no need to flame on the fact you can just root and get the free tethering stuff anyway, it's only $10 to upgrade data, the point is that if anyone was thinking about increasing their "unlimited" data limit now that the throttling trick is not working anymore, this hopefully helps you all out. Saves the $15 tethering monthly cost and not needing to mess with fixing or freezing tricks to rip the tethering and maybe you'll like the My Life thing they also throw in? Just FYI for anyone this may help...
$10~ $20 for 2gb...$30 for 5gb.. paying $10 extra is basically the same...
You're probably out of the loop but the upgrade from 2GB to 5GB has always been 10 dollars. $20 for 2GB, $30 for 5GB. 10 dollar difference.
Tethering has been included in the 5GB plan for a few months now and it was a marketing thing for the retention department to offer customers to keep them from jumping ship. If you like the plan, by all means enjoy... it's not a 'super' deal to most people though.
Those extra features get offered almost anytime you call with a data issue, to bad most of it is worthless XD

Retail rep here. The old unlimited plans in your are grandfathered in is usually $20 to $25 for 5GB of 4G. If you are on the newer Classic plans (kinda oxymoron lol), there isn't a normal way of getting a 5GB plan for less than $30 unless you can get the saves department to hook you up with a $10 monthly credit or something. However, I have been able to glitch certain accounts for some of my customers to make it work if you are coming from a grandfathered plan.
Example. Old 3000 Promo for 2 lines with 5GB data was $110 T+Tx, $20 per data.
I had a customer that had 4 lines on this plan all with web. When I changed updated it for Classic to save them money and get them on the unlimited minute plan, it had me change one of the web features but the other ones stayed on there when they are actually supposed to be removed. I checked that same account a few times over a span of a few months and sure enough they stuck so my customer ended up with 3 5GB $20 webs and 1 2GB $20 web. Not guaranteed to work everytime since T-Mo is kinda hit or miss with our crappy rate plan computer systems but good luck to you all!
Still on the g1 plan... ;-)

verizon is in the process of changing thier data plans...a rep told me they are coming out with family share data plans instead of each line having its own. not sure when its going to happen but rumor is this fall.
thanks for the insight. i might wait till then.
On the new plan they can share 1 gig of data for $130 monthly with unlimited talk and text. That is the smallest plan for 2 smart phones.

Are all of the new plans going to combine voice and data in a single package? I want as much data as possible and as few voice minutes as possible. I'm on the unadvertised Loyalty Share 550 which shares 550 minutes between my phone and my wife's. We have never gone over that. I hate to pay for unlimited minutes just to get a high enough data limit. Same goes for texts, which I don't use a lot of.
I am in the same boat. I don't use text at all. I hate Verizon when it does that. But galaxy s3 that I want so, well I will update.

You have the choice even after June 28th to keep your current plan.. You will not be forced on these new bull**** plans
However, unlimited data,
After the 28th of you want to upgrade a line that has unlimited data you will have 2 choices
1 pay in full (700-800 dollars) and keep your unlimited
2 get your phone subsidized like we all usually do when getting a new 2 year, but lose unlimited data.
PSA ! If you have a upgrade and unlimited data, PREORDER YOUR SGS3 NOW or UPGRADE TO ANOTHER PHONE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

Looks like I'll be a new AT&T customer here pretty soon with a Galaxy SII. I received a text from Verizon stating I will have to switch to an available smartphone plan, since I've been using an old prepaid talk and text plan from 2 years ago with $30 unlimited data. I'd sworn off contracts but there's not much choice. Prepaid GSM is a no go because they don't use the full network, so the coverage is nothing where I live. Decent HSPA+ coverage with the postpaid network though. It comes out to $84 per month for a decent plan with 3GB data and my business discount. It's been fun gents!

Sarkozy, what company do you work for? You can probably get a better deal with Verizon's new plans.

Also, I recommend that everyone who wants to keep unlimited with an s3 upgrade to something cheap soon, and just exchange it within 14 days. Make sure you get a phone that uses a micro sim, that way they don't have to change the device in the system for you.

It's a small business with only a few lines. I really don't care about unlimited minutes, and I'll get an extra GB of data for almost $30 less than I would with no discount from Verizon.

I pay $20 a month through t-mobile and get 5 Gb of data.
