Is there a way to still get this? (Yes, I have searched for the answer, but all the topics are a couple months old, and none of them say if their way still works.)
Is there a way if I find an AT&T employee who would be willing to help?
Thanks.
Why not all ATT...and get the answer from them...
ATT
The only way would be to get an unbranded device and activate the $10 unlimited dumb phone data plan.

When did you activate the unlimited data? And how did you do it?

I used this method about a year ago for my wifes plan. However, AT&T had locked the process up a bit. After I connected the 1st gen iphone to itunes and activated it, selecting the unlimited plan, the phone would not finish activating. I called and no one knew what was up. Then I got a call from AT&T asking about the old iphone and what was going on. I told them that my wife had broke the screen on her 3GS and while it was getting repaired she was going to use the old iphone. I played dumb about the whole itunes/apple crap and was able to get it activated. We've still got the unlimited service today but they've been on to the "exploit" for a while. Don't know if it still works today, biggest problem is finding an original iphone. Hope this helps!
I can get one, I just don't want to buy one if the unlimited data trick won't work lol. I appreciate the input

Was it a whole new account, add a line, or just swapping phones on a line? I'm extremely curious as to how you did it, haven't been able to find anyone who's tried to do it recently.
I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know how you got it to work

*sigh* i finally purchased an iphone 2g, used an older version of itunes to restore/activate, and it doesnt give me any option to pick what data plan i want. just asks me to name the iphone and thats it. went from a basic messaging phone with no data to the iphone 2g.
anyone have any insight?
Bump to see if there is still a way to get unlimited data.

hi,
i'm a Tier 2 Connectech Support of AT&T Mobility Services,
but i do not represent such on xda,
based on latest plan rates of AT&T we no longer hold new accounts for the 1st gen iphones based on unlimited data,
we still have the dumb phone unlimited plan,
however it is still subject to activation and verification,
please contact our customer service for more info,
thanks,

Not 100% percent sure but I think he is playing.....
1. It DOESNT MATTER WHAT PHONE YOU PUT ON after having unlimited data! just as long as you dont change your data plan.
2. He`s saying for $20 dollars.... Once you put another phone on besides the iPhone 2g it will go to $30 dollars within a few hours. SO I think he`s a joker.

That is a little much for a Galaxy 2 IMO.....
but I agree that the plan cannot be beat. 100 minutes, unlimited text and unlimited data with no throttling for $30, you cant touch that. Plus you can use their unlimited WiFi calling feature on that plan.
**** that's unlimited no throttle?!?!? I need a 4G Tmobile phone now! I'm on that plan but I'm using an ATT phone so no 4G for me, and I don't want for the refarming to finish.

There is ZERO fine print anywhere stating throttling. On every other plan that has it, it is easy to find out when you get throttled. A call to customer service confirmed this. It is only available online on tmobile.com and walmart.com. It is pretty new.......just saw it about a week ago.
Plus, remember, Tmobile just announced true unlimited data for post and pre paid, but this is the cheapest/lowest minute one I can find.

I've known about this plan for months, but they used to throttle at 5gigs but I just checked my account and now it's unlimited! Yeah I need a new Tmobile phone now for sure. I get great service here, but only 2G because of my device.

The funny thing is, how could we even complain about throttling at 5gb for that price??? But for true unlimited? WOW!
I'm not complaining, because this is about the only good plan in the entire US. But I'm for sure getting a phone to take advantage of it, Tmobile is the underdog, they need to be the mass sales/low margin company!

As far as I know, their is no restriction on devices with this plan. So you should be fine with the Nexus 4. AT&T would be another story.

Just activate the SIM with the Nexus 4 and when you have to pick a plan, just choose the 30 dollar one on the website. No voodoo or black magic needed, T-Mobile doesn't care if you use this plan with your Nexus.

I use roam control. One of the issues with samsung devices is when in "roam only", they only roam on the 800mhz frequency band.
I'm not sure why this is, and not sure if it's changed since the GS2 (which is what i'm on).
Anyone know if the S4 has this issue?
thanks
Not sure roam control is working yet.
I set it up and when im "roaming" it still shows I'm on sprints network. I get 3g when i force roam (i only got 1x on my e4gt). But like i said, its probably a function of not being compatible yet.

really hope this gets updated for the s4, was thinking of upgrading to this device tomorrow, and i use roam control to force roaming while i am at work.
Me too. But definitely watch your usage. Been a customer for 9 years. Got the boot letter today because of my roaming activities.
Roam Control doesn't seem to be working yet. I need it for when I'm at work also.
oohaylima, were you using the s4? Do you know how much and for how long you were going over the "limit" before you got the boot letter?
@ oohaylima, man that sucks, what were ur averages roaming?, did u have to pay an ETF?, and how many warning letters were u given?

They won't charge anything. They warn customer 2 to 3 times and then cancel your contract if the roaming persists. I've roamed about 60gb the last 2 billing cycles and haven't had any problems yet.

I just got the S4. So it looks like I lucked out on this termination deal.
According to the letter they warned me last November about my usage.
Never got it though. So around 5 months or so.

Don't know the average, but with Sprint, anything over 300 MB while roaming is a big no no.
No ETF fee. They waive it. They give you a month to change services. That's very nice of b them.

Darn right I took that upgrade! I'll be headed over to TING. And since they use Sprint towers, I'll still be in this section.
Any updates on whether Roam Control is working on this phone?
I see the app hasn't been updated for a while, and I know the author doesn't respond quickly (or at all) to support emails, so figured I'd check with the forum.
I never could get it working right on my old phone, but I'm hoping I can still get some use out of this app.

Roam Control still not working on Samsung Galaxy S4. Come on.
Hey guys, I used to be unlimited on vzw but really wanted the x. After going through a round of incompetent agents on the phone I got in contact with several who were able to give me 6gb of data for the same price as unlimited used to be. This was NOT part of the edge program but part of a promotion for old unlimited users. I know some of you guys here use 20 GB a month or more so it doesn't work for you, but I use just under five so I thought it was a decent alternative!

this plan has been out for months now and i think it's been covered here before. there are other ways to get a subsidized phone on an unlimited plan.
I didn't realize people were aware you could get it WITHOUT participating in the edge plan. Half the vzw agents didn't seem to think you could anyways. Sorry for the duplicate post.

the "only" way to purchase a subsidized phone and keep unlimited is to have a line that doesn't have unlimited data and that either has an upgrade (new line) or you transfer your upgrade to that line, activate it on that line, and then transfer it to your unlimited line. this method not only keeps your unlimited but also locks you in a contract for the next 24 mo.
