I switched over from AT&T...so first first...
sprint bills a month in advance. Since you're new you're seeing a charge for your first month and next month but this should be pretty clear on your bill.

Mine was $155.38. Add that to my $200 ETF from T-Mobile.
mines is 222

The prorated charges aren't that bad at all... Generally I buy things I can afford.
don't forget the activation fee of $35 or $36 on the 1st bill
I'm so scared to move from my ancient $50/month plan/bill onto these $100 and more plans but i also have new tech fever.
My Treo Pro is like the last bastion of phones allowed on legacy plans and i'm between a rock and a hard place moving forward. I wonder if Win phone 7 on sprint would allow legacy plans...,

Call them up tell them you ported your number or whatever and they will void the activation fee

Really? I did not know this. Is it too late since I bought my phone (and ported my number) 3 days ago? You just call 'em up and ask to have it waived, or what?
88.69 for me and I'm a new customer.
I think they waived my activation fee because they added corporate discount.
I think if you have any sort of discount they will wave the activation fee. I'm a State of MA employee and sprint gives us 15% discount. (nothing amazing but it helps).
Mines $1510.41, but its soooo wrong!

New customer here at 151.00 1st bill for two lines, 103.00 with taxes after. Not to bad coming from at&t of close to 160.00 monthly.
195.55 after tax, but no including my 23% disscount.. thats 3 phones (2 evos, and 1 hero)
EDIT:
and the guy at my sprint store matched the down payment i put at best buy, so i had 100 right off the top. and guess what i still kept my best buy cards. i <3 sprint ..
$167.38 for me and my wife.
1500 Everything Data + $7 insurance each.
It actually comes out to $10 more than last month as promised.
Did anyone else notice a mysterious $1 fee for "June 4 - June 6 Premium Data"? Could that be pro-rated from the $10 charge? Maybe that time period was before the June billing cycle?
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.

Parents have just said they will get me the Nexus 4 for christmas if I like. My phone is upgradable in February next year, so my plan is as follows. This is my current setup:
£30 a month contract, 24 months
Galaxy S2
200 minutes
Unlimited texts
500MB data
Pay off the remaining months of this contract in feb, will not be anymore than £100.
8GB Nexus 4 at christmas from the parents.
I get a sim only contract, 12 months, at £15 a month.
Unlimited data
5000 texts
600 minutes.
Am I doing the right thing...??
I say so. The freedom of no contract is an amazing feeling.

Why pay off the contract early? If you've been surviving on 500MB data and 200min for the last 20mths, and you think you can do so for another 4, then just have your service provider send you a micro-sim so you can use your current contract on the new phone. Saves you £100.
Yeah its unlocked, so just switch the simcard from one phone to another.
But those are some good plan compared to what we have to pay here in the States, unlimited data for 15pounds, wow.
Hi guys,
I'm currently a sprint customer with an expired contract and I'm thinking to switch to T-mobile to get the nexus 4 @ $199 with a Classic Unlimited - Unlimited Nationwide 4G Family plan. I have read in other threads that there is a $15 or $20 monthly fee, in my case $30 or $40 since I'm getting two. I don't understand whats is that fee for. Can any of you T-mo customer can explain me what is this fee all about and if that fee is applicable on any T-mo contract?
Happy Holly-days to every one and thanks!!!!
Sorry for ask a t-mo question here , but they don't have any chat on their web page or at least not today. and sorry for my bad English, is not my first language.
The fee is only for the value plan. The value plan offers a lower price for people to use their own unlocked phones. For example, unlimited talk, text and 4g data is $70 on the value plan with an unlocked phone. If you buy a nexus 4 from T-Mobile on the value plan, you will pay another $20 per month for 15 months. $200 + $300 in monthly fees is $500. Or you can buy the same phone from Google for $350.
Another advantage of buying from Google is that you are not locked into a contract and can get the $30 prepaid T-Mobile plan.

thank you Jason, I finally talk with a t-mobile representative on their chat en they told me the same info. I'm really thinking to get tight wit the unlimited contract cuz I really need it. All my family and my wofe family live over seas so we talk and text a lot with them, that's the only reason I'm with sprint(unlimited). So I didn't know t-mobile start with all unlimited till now, that's the only reason I'm moving and the nexus 4 is another reason. But thank you again for all the info.
I actually did this 2 weeks ago in Daly City, CA. All I did was tell them that ATT is current offering 50% off smart phones which is still in their website. If you click on the deal link, you will see the GN3 is there. However, I believe it's only for phones < $200. But the manager knew about the deal and price matched without any resistance.
I did this again in Austin, TX last week for my dad. This time the manager is being more resistant. He said it's $250 on their website not $150. I then told him you have to complete the check out process for the promotion to show up. Luckily, one of his employees confirmed that. You might even be able to get it for $125 since it's $250 with 2 year contract on the ATT website.
Good luck.

If this doesn't work, order the phone through ATT retention Dept. I got mine for $199 plus tax next day and $30 off messaging for 6 months and $100 (credit?) back after 40 days for renewing my contract. YMMV, but just keep on calling until they give you what you want. Took me 3 tries.

How did you get that deal? All they offer me is 100 credit and phone full price. My girlfriend would be upgrading to new iphone and signing a 2 yr contract. We would be on a family plan and she would add me on with the note 3. How do I reach retentions? I called yesterday and said cancel but idk if that was retentions. They made a note on my account about the credits. I want to call back and at least get both phones for 200. Any advice how I go about this? The rep noted my account for the 2 100 credits after 30 and 45 days

Too bad BB doesn't go back 30 days like Sears (or like Sears used to, anyway). It would be nice to walk in with 2 phones and walk out with 2 phones and a check (or even store credit).

What are you guys telling retentions to get this? I've called and never gotten any kind of deal like that...
What are you guys telling retentions to get this? I've called and never gotten any kind of deal like that...
Are you eligible for an upgrade? I got the same offer. $100 credit after 30 days, $25 off any phone and waived activation fees.
I dialed 611 and choosed cancel service. Told the guy I wanted to cancel my line. Of course they always say sorry to hear that and would like to know why. I told him I found a better deal for the phone I wanted from another carrier. At the time Amazon was selling the note 3 for $124.99 with a new activation. What a great price huh but I've no intention of switching to sprint even if the phone was free. Terrible service where I live. I don't know if he bothered to look it up or not but a minute later I got the offer.
So I'm still not sure if I want buy the phone yet. I've been checking this forum to see if it's going to be worth it. As soon as safe strap arrive then I'll probably pull the trigger.
Oh and I've confirmed that you can still get the credit even if you don't order from At&t. I asked him to note that on my account. So basically I can get the note 3 from amazon for $199.99 minus the $100 credit.

i called att on black friday (just like last year when i got my 2 s3 for $.01 each) and requested an upgrade. the rep on the phone told me i was unable to upgrade at the 1 year point and had to wait for another year till my contract expired. i told her i was able to upgrade the year before with no problems and the rep told me their policies had changed and the only way i could upgrade was to switch to the next program (not happening). so i told her if i had to wait till next year that i would cancel my service and go else where. she asked what phones i wanted and i told her i wanted the s4 for the wife and i was on the fence about the lg g2 and the note 3. she put me on hold and came back saying they would allow me to upgrade early and they would give me the s4 for $49 and the note 3 for $99. so after taxes and everything (free overnight shipping, no activation fees) i paid $165 for an s4 and note 3. then my little victory came crashing down after i logged in here to find i was getting a locked bootloader

That would mean I got the N3 for $75 ............................................................ but,
I just sold the Gear on Craig's List this afternoon for $240 bucks.
So I got the N3 for free, and put $165 in CASH straight into my xmas fund!
Holy crap, maybe the deal of the centry possibly? :victory:
^^^awsome deal, wish I got that.
Sorry for the late reply, but for those of you that couldn't get it, just call again, it took me 3 calls. I just told them that I need to lower my monthly bill and I want the phone for $199. Didn't need to beat around the bush for me, straight to the point. And one of my lines was due for an upgrade.
Just got to be persistent. Good luck
FYI, Amazon has the phone for $199 with upgrade. Maybe mention that if you want. But it shouldn't matter
Just letting you all know, Best Buy currently has the Note 3 for $149 for new lines, as well as the S4 for free (the promotion is for $50 off of the current sale price, so the Note 3 is listed at $199 and the S4 is 49.99). No haggling or price matching required. I set up a new Mobile Share plan on AT&T, ported over from Verizon, and got a Note 3 and S4 on contract for $160 out the door.
Just to be clear this is for new customers only?
Never made sense to me why people are promised the Moon until they are loyal customers...
I'd like my wife's note to actually be opened before the price drops from 300.... but if I can return it and rewrap it and pocket 100 more for Christmas that's okay too.

did you call att?
any notes on calling them and how to demand and get that kind of a price?
I currently have verizon galaxy nexus with unlimited data hooked up to my friends line for $50/month. contract ends in 2 weeks.
I have 6 lines with ATT for my family 10gb share and they only use like 4gb a month so if I join them for $30/month then I will be good for 5-6gb/month. I never went over 3gb/month with verizon all this time that I had UNLIMITED data. I really wanted to keep unlimited data with verizon and get the Note3 with them and pay $50/month with them but verizon won't let me keep the unlimited. the way around is I open a line with verizon and make a switch of phones and put dumb for the new opend line and pay $10/month then I will be paying $60/month to stay with Verizon to keep the unlimited data vs. $30/month with ATT with about 5-6gb/month.
I am debating but I know that I should go with ATT and save hundreds of $$ for next 2 years.
So Please help me and guide me to get some good deal like you :fingers-crossed:
