How long befcore I get cancelled

I just got my letter today, finally, saying that I am using too much roaming data over the past 6 months and they will be monitoring me. Sprint service absolutely sucks in my area and unless I am on verizon I get crap or no 3g. I don't really feel like waiting till oct 7th to see if maybe (big maybe) my service gets any better.
I pay an extra 10 bucks a month for "premium data" so I should be able to use it!!
I have been waiting to get out of my contract with no ETF for a few months now so I am just curious about how long before they cancel me and will I be able to port my number to verizon once I do get cancelled?

U wont get verizon 3g with roaming either
And you will probably be blacklisted with the carriers i think

Well, I roam on verizon with a modified prl and get full 3g off their towers constantly, anywhere I go. No one else has any input on this?

How much data on average are you using per month via roaming, just out of curiosity?

That only works if you roam a isht ton in areas that are known sprint dead zones. Anywhere else and they'll know somethings up

***** to them that you "WOULDT HAVE TO ROAM IF YOU HAD SERVICE. Don't penalize me for paying you for no service. It should DEFINITELY be the other way around, sir or madam."
See how they like them apples LOL

Doesn't really matter anyways. Verizon has tiered the data plans. No unlimited on Verizon anyhow.

Spoke to sprint today
I spoke to Sprint today on this issue and since they do not offer quality service in my area and I am forced to roam in order to obtain good service (as i put it) they are waiving the ETF and I am able to move out of Sprint. I am not happy about this decision though. I love sprint where I have lived before in Florida and other places in Pennsylvania but here it is terrible. I will miss my epic and this community but I am doing what has to be done.

Have fun paying triple on verizon

Id leave too, check out T-Mobile they offer better 4g speeds as well as quality phone. The mytouch slide series is pretty nice if you want a keyboard. They also offer alot of their phones free online.
Do your research.

i'm about to jump ship too... i'm realizing how much better other carriers service is in areas i'm struggling in. i'll go pay a premium for better service if i have to.

My bill. Is like 99 a month on sprint anyway, verizon will be about the same if I stop the downloading directly to my phone, and since I will have miui on my facinate I won't care about roms anyway. And my bill will be the same or less even

EVO - Lack of 4G Coverage / Switching to Verizon & Unlimited data!

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.

That wont last long. As soon as someone higher up the food chain findsout...you are done.

Yes it said unlimited data but eventually you get to the data caps and slow your speed.

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.

Plan question

My wife and I are currently paying around $150 a month to have unlimited talk text and web. We've discovered that we don't talk too much and most of our web browsing is done connected to wifi. Does it cost anything to lower your minute plan? Would we have to pay the cancel contract fee to change our plan?

They will let you change your plan with tmo but you will have to extend your contract. This is why I am not going to extend with tmo again. I've found a new service provider called ting that is going to save me and my wife about 30-40 $ a month.

Ohhhh, yeah, i have seen this before, it said i wouldn't save any money haha. Well and its on Sprint's network which isn't great

I downgraded from that plan and was supposed to be paying 100 but now pay 170! For 1000 shared mins so I'd stay on your plan. And its 45 cents a min to go over

So I have been following this all day in the SGS3 forums (see here) and the servers got hit so bad that many users were without data AND calling for up to 5hours. Obviously this is a big deal and tons of people are switching but just be patient. My wife is going to the store (you can do it on-line too) tomorrow to set it up for us. I'll post updates if we hit any roadblocks.
Edit:: Ok so my wife went to do this today and she said it was like a mob scene. Said that there were people everywhere and the employees were cooking out promoting this whole thing. Took her about an hour to get through the line and get everything switched over. I got a text at work about a hour ago and it said that our plan changed. I check and it is unlimited and no interuption in service either.
Woody like, hehe!!!
Oh and they say that the HotSpot doesn't work, but it does. I checked. You can also go to the market and get Foxfi if you don't have the HS already.

I just switched over to the new plan and cut my Bill . I was paying $5 more for 5GB . No more throttle .

Thanks for the info ^^

I wonder what would happen if I got over 9765GB
If I could even consume that much data in a month

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!

unless they changed it without updating my account here's what mine looks like.View attachment 1346761

Used ones on CL and eBay people want more than the wallmart price and then its used no warranty and you have to wonder if it will get turned off for non payment or whatever by T-Mobile

Great plan regardless. Skip wallmart and get the sim for .99 and activate the plan yourself.

In case you have less than perfect reception in your home. Or want to make call with bad signal, but there's WiFi around. Says like in a very urban area.
Its to have better service, not save money.
