Nice, but will they also buyout your contact if you are stuck in one?
You need to switch to a Tmobile 1 plan

Any idea if you already have t-mobile unlimited but want the pixel xl if you can still get a money back?
tmobile is pretty great, but this plan is pretty terrible
Pretty smart of them. They know a Pixel user is a power user, and trying to get them on this horrible plan.
From the fine print, you can only tether at 3g on this plan, compared to 4g/lte in my current tmobile plan. no thanks

John Legere stated on his Twitter that anyone can do it; even if you already have a Pixel AND the T-Mobile One plan. So I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. I confirmed with online reps that I can do it and I have both already. Pretty exciting to get a little back from the big cost. And I love my Pixel XL so it's worth it for me

When you're out and about yes it defaults to 480P, but you can go higher. On Wi-Fi it goes to normal viewing instantly. Seeing as how I do music more than video, it doesn't bother me. Plus I'm STILL paying less on T-Mo than I would be anywhere else. Still doesn't change my camera, screen, speeds, fingerprint scanner, etc.
You may want amazing quality all the time, but there are pros and cons to everything. Go "SYFH" at someone else... you're not discouraging me. :good:

How much data do you use in a month? I'm just curious; I did my research before switching to the One plans and I only use 10-12 so I was ok... my GF on the other hand is a champ and sometimes hits 20, but even then it's not the full 25.
The plan works for us but I can see how it wouldn't for some others.
I think I might do this. I never watch video on my phone when I'm out and about. Just audio. And I haven't used hotspot in like 2 years. Are there any other gotcha's w/T-Mo One?
Driving down the value of the Pixel in order to get people hooked into a ****ty service... this is only a win for TMobile. Been there done that. I used to travel a lot with two phones from different carriers and no Sprint or TMobile phone over the last decade came anywhere close to the level of quality my Verizon phone had. Cingular which became AT&T was the runner up. What's funny is people justify it by saying they pay less but it's not that much less. Just last year we switched 4 lines to sprint, they paid off all our VZW lines, gave us all new top of the line phones, and gave us twice as much data... but the bill was only 20 bucks a month less and the service was just as bad as it was years ago.... that "within 1 %" commercial is bogus as hell.

Yeah I haven't used tethering in a few years tbh so that's not a factor for me.
For those going over 25GB/month, what do you do on your phones?
I'm assuming the average smart phone user, works a 9 to 5 job and doesn't have time to view their phone all day. Then when they get home, I'm assuming they connect to WiFi.

Please post back when Sprint pulls the plug an cancels your account.
I'm rooted and do use wifi tether from time to time. But only when what ever it is I'm doing can't be done on my eVo.
I mean 49GB in 2 days is just plain abuse. That's 3.5GB's a day... thats a serious amount of data.
Last month I used just under 3GB's of 3g data for my whole billing cycle. I did use over 40GB's of data over wifi. And I consider myself a power user, big time. I use my eVo for everything, from sending and receiving pictures through mms(I'm a chef and always sending/receiving pics to/from other chefs to try and one up one another), writing and editing daily special menus and regular menus to doing all of my daily cost control spread sheets. Not to mention going online to find at pricing and availability on products I use or need.
Trust me m8, more than likely you have Sprints attention. Keep us up to date on any emails or phone calls you get... Good Luck!!!!

You speak as if Sprint has no idea wat ur doing... u just posted ur usage stats directly from ur account from Sprint's website. Remember karma does not have favorites or exceptions so don't be surprised when Sprint cuts u off like Lorena Bobbit did to her hubby's man-parts. Then we will see a noticeable increase in data speeds since leeches like u r forcefully removed from the network.
Good job. Expect a letter soon.

Yea some torrents. And @ the other haters, I can't afford Comcast and I think my Sprint bill is a little high. So yeah, instead of paying for both, I cancelled Comcast and use Sprint as my only ISP. So of course the usage is high, who gives a ****, if I'm paying for it. Check your usage at home and tell me it isn't high. And "getting a letter from Sprint", this has been my average usage for the past 7 months, so I doubt it.

Compared to what you could be paying on other carriers I think it's safe to say that your Sprint bill is quite fair.

At least we know that if data is eventually tiered we won't be charged extra like ATT and VZW customers.
Throttling is by far the lesser of two evils.
What's sad is this wouldn't effect me even if I went over. I average ~256kbps anyway
Well...I wouldn't mind 256k speeds right now! They need to fix some stuffs, ASAP. I'm burnin up the interwebs @60kps on 3G currently.

+1 on the throttling. Id hate to pay overage charges. i believe that sprint is not gonna do it in the near future ( hoping... i repeat hoping it wont at least) but of course it could happen. they are using the fact that everyone else is doing it as a little marketing push.

I'm on it through a re-seller which means I pay 14€ per month instead of 35€ (just have to cancel the contract in time). It's working pretty well, unless I'm in a pretty small town, I get good 4G coverage. No need to complain so far.

Well you have to understand that the US is one of the largest countries on Earth and we expect coverage basically everywhere. US carriers have enormous overhead to cover such a large area and thus, we pay more than other countries because of that. It's simple math, really.

I grabbed a nice offer from sparhandy.de which I found via mydealz.de, 5GB T-Mobile plan via mobilcom-debitel for 35€ and sparhandy pays me 22€ back each month for the 24 month contract. You have to have a bit of luck and frequent those bargain websites, but there are often good data plan offerings there. 5GB was a bit overkill for me, but it was only 3€ more expensive than the 3GB option and there was nothing below that, so I grabbed it.
UK deb owner here, paying 15 GBP (currently about 24.50 USD) per month for 10GB on the Three network. At the moment I'm only using about .5GB so I could drop to a lower tariff any time.
Loving the deb, though. Faster and smoother than anything else I've got, including my pc.
I'd be interested to know why you all went for the deb. In my case, I connect to my home pc while out and about so that I can check my webcam motion detector, run apps on the pc, download/upload files from the pc, and so on. As well as keeping up with websites, Twitter, and forums, and rss feeds with the new Play Newsstand app.

According to John Legere, today is the day he will start cracking down on an estimated 3,000 heavy abusers, some who are using up to 2TB a month of data, by means of hacking the tethering ability on their phone.

It sucks that this is happening. I live in a place where I only get 3mbps download on my home DSL.
Comcast refuse to wire my house because it's too complicated. So occasionally I use tmobile and hidden tether. Tmobile provides me about 20mbps download at my house vs DSL.
Yes, I use hidden tether, but I never maxed over 50gb/month.
I dont think you have to worry about tethering 50GB a month. I think it's the people who are using hundreds EVERY MONTH lol. But for those who are using that much, time to figure something else out. If anyone here gets contacted, please update us!
I'm with twe90kid. I've never reached the 50GB barrier yet either.
I have been with T-Mobile for about a month and never touched the tethering option, lol. It won't affect me too much. Wi-Fi and data are around the same speeds for me

From his Periscope, this applies to anyone using some means of hiding tether - no matter the overage. Once you go over that 7GB limit, its slow down time and I'm happy they finally did it.
These abusers will probably try to distract everyone by waving their arms about throttling data

Note that Legere is fully aware that thieves will continue to justify their actions and switch the blame to T-Mobile.
I hope he find a way to crackdown on all the data hogs out there.

I agree. Even when I did use to tether hack, I think the most I used was around 50GB. 2TB is complete insanity.
Good riddance
You know who you are people.

what's the 7G's he's talking about?
I'm on the truly unlimited with 5 G's of tethering. I have the tether hack app too. I normally tether about 1-4 G's to my tablet thru the built-in tethering. The only time I use the hack is when I'm away from home for an extended period of time, once or twice a year, and have yet to go over 7 G's while doing so. On the other hand I regularly use 40 - 60 G's on my phone a month. What's the 7 G's they're talking about?

my wife and I both have the unlimited 2 lines with 7GB hotspot for 100/month by which we use practically none of it. Its included with the unlimited plan.

I don't think he cares about people rooting their phone. That doesn't cost them money

Rooting per se doesn't cost carriers money. But what people do with root can translate to lost revenue. From a purely business standpoint, limiting (or outright banning) people that tether truckloads of data is completely reasonable.
I'll keep tethering, these warnings come about every 6 months. Folks will express their opinions, share some misconceptions about what tethering does to network health but never seem dig below the surface and see that the majority of people that tether AREN'T cranking down insane amounts of data. Heck I can easily hit 60gb a month without tethering. Some will say that is detrimental to the network. I would love an objective look at the amount of users and a break down of how many users use what amount of data.. Or ya know keep tossing vague scare tactics our way.
You want to stop tethering stop making it so easy to defeat with client side provisioning and user agent sniffers.
I used to use mine for home internet i would hit like 100GB a month. I was talking to the TMO Rep and he said most of the employees do it too.

Lol John is going to end of firing his work staff. How ironic would it be if it turns out that they are tethering all the devices in the stores because of internet bill on the LAN Line!
Never thought I'd make this upgrade.... My Verizon Note 4 is being traded in for a ... T-Mobile Note 4.
10 years and 5 lines on Verizon. I don't see a phone I can actually upgrade to from the Note 4- so it makes sense to get a rootable, rom-able Note 4. I'd be perfectly happy with that. I don't think that trade is for everybody, but I see nothing coming in 2015 that's any advancement I want to live with.
Just to let you know how it turned out moving out of my Verizon Note 4 and taking my family with me (I think that's relevant for this forum- mods, if it's not, you can delete my post), here's how it worked (unlimited talk and text):
Traded my VZW Note 4 (6 gigs data Plan) --------> TMO New Note 4 (10 gigs).
Porting over a VZW Note 3, 2 gig plan -------->10 gig plan
Trading a Note 2 in for a New Note 3, unlimited data --> 10 gigs
Changing one flip phone to Galaxy core Prime -----------10 gigs
Porting over one flip phone -----------no data
VZW: 233/month. T-Mobile: 168/Month. Fortunately, In my area Tmobile actually has better data/voice coverage than VZW.
I think I'll take the extra dollars and get a nice big battery. I have no problem living with that for a year or two.
Are you doing their 4 lines/10gb special that they have going on? I saw it on their site the other day and was considering it. Not because of root, but because Verizon is becoming my least favorite company lately.
Are all the phones new? When I built the plan and added in new phones, I was only saving like 30 bucks difference from what we pay on Verizon for the same data and phones.
I am seriously considering doing the same thing. I'm looking into coverage maps now. Does anyone know some good, up to date (and unbiased) places to find coverage map comparisons for a particular area?

2 out of 3 are new. Note 4 new, note 3 certified, core prime (El cheapo, but ok android) new.
Hands down t-mobile wins speed tests here.
Vzw tried to save me. Told me their new plan would be awesome. I would go from 1 unlimited, 1 6gig and 1 2gig to 3 total gigs for the whole family. I said "that sounds crazy... ". They said... "no really, you can use wifi!!!"
I'm stupid.... but not THAT stupid.
And yes, it's the 10 gig/4 phones plan on tmo.
Just a quick follow up note on how my changeover (after 10 years with Verizon, with 5 household lines) turned out.
I'm sitting here with a brand new, rooted note 4 with a killer custom rom, set up exactly how I want it
-- on a much improved 5.1.1. Battery and lag issues: *Poof*
It gets better. I have an extra smartphone line in my 5 phone household... and I'm saving 50 dollars a month.
It gets EVEN better.
My employer can hear me now when I call into work. I wont miss them telling me my voice was "dropping out".
Oh, but it gets **MUCH MUCH** better.
In 10 years, I never saw over 20 Mbps from VZW, and most of the time at home, my Verizon wireless could have been beaten by an average Fischer-Price Modem(sic).
Fired up my new T-Mobile Note 4, turned off the home WIFI and ran the Ookla speed test. I almost fainted.

Northeast Ohio, a bit west of Cleveland.
Ah ok. I live in southern California and get great coverage on verizon. I still have 2 lines on unlimited data, but if big red ever changes that I'm gone!

Same here. If ever they touch my data, my wife and I are out. I would not mind being able to have Root again. But for now, unlimited data is king. If only someone could find a way to turn all relevant radios for the Verizon network on one of the other networks phones. Then I would most definitely be getting another Note4. But it seems, even though there is a thread out there which proves it is possible, no one has tried. Oh well, it will happen eventually. Regardless, I still have Unlimited. To the OP, very happy you got more for less and better for that matter. I like to hear when those who can, do stick it to EVilrizon.

I was so done with Verizon screwing us over in terms of price, service, and locking down our phones that I threw away that unlimited line with all the others. Just look what it did to the character of this forum... it's a pretty dead place. 3000 posts in development here, 85000 posts in development at the T-mobile Note 4 forum. Verizon will lock down every significant phone into the future as quick as it can. I refuse to "moo".

I hear you on the being screwed part. Out of this world pricing. But, I just can not shake the unlimited data thing. $30 for unlimited? That is a good deal by pricing standards. But voice pricing? That is where I get screwed.

I am going to try TMO I think, especially since I'm not getting the Note 5. I have gotten the new release every year, but Sammy really screwed the pooch on this one.
Here is a question. Is there anyone here willing to try and unlock the appropriate radios on their TMobile Note4 to see if it works with a Verizon sim? I am getting fed up with this Verizon Note4. This lock down is unreasonable on so many levels.
