This coming week i will be changing phones. I have an unlimited data alltel plan with 10 my circle numbers. I use widi at home all the time and am wondering is it reallt worth buying a 4g phone and have to pay about $50 more a month, just to have the 4g srvice in my area. Im kinda torn right now. If i go 4g, they will make me xhange my plan, and right now, unlimited costs $20 a month for 2 phones.

That's a huge change in bill cost right now. Would you be moved to a capped 2GB data plan per phone line from your present unlimited data plan? There's been a few LTE outages lately so I would advise you, if possible, to wait a little longer and see if Verizon's LTE network becomes more consistent.
I've always been cool with 3G and given how much of a battery hog 4G can be - I'm not going anywhere. I wouldn't trade that deal in!

If you have unlimited 3G, you get unlimited 4G.

Well, the more people jump on 4G the less 3G spectrum there will be, Verizon plans to have all 3G spectrum down by 2014.

Verizon will offer them a sweet deal on upgrading to 4G.
I would wait until phones with better battery life come along. If there is an emergency, a fancy 4G phone with no charge is just a paper weight. BTW, congrats on the $20 unlimited plan! Should've gone with Alltel...
Really, now is the time to upgrade. Get a GNex, get a razor, or get a resound. Personally get a G-Nexus. Excellent phone, its the future of Android. Its setting the industry standard.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Just ordered a Rezound via Amazon. I think 4G is worth it if you grandfathered in the old unlimited plan. Otherwise, I am not sure how worth it upgrading to 4G would be. Personally I never run into a situation where I have used more than 1 GB of data in a month, and average around 500 MB. However I am now using Google Music and have run into an instance where tethering for a laptop was really useful while being away from my home FiOS.

I understand that you keep or are grandfathered on the data plan, but isn't there another fee for LTE data? If so, how much?
Either way, the op would have to spend lots more coin for maybe not so much more goodies.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
It isn't worth it until we get S-off on the Rezound; but that is the best replacement for the DInc.

My unlimited plan IS for data. I could choose one of the 2/4/10 GB plans or keep unlimited. There was no extra fee for 4G mentioned when I upgraded from my DInc to the Rezound.

There is no guarantee on that. I take stock aosp over sense for sure. And gnex has full root, not something rezound can claim yet. Gnex has loads of ROMs and kernels already.

Sent from my EPIC WIN using XDA App
Actually, I don't understand why they didn't cap it when they first introduced the tethering plans.
Their USB network devices all have data caps. How is tethering from a phone rather than from a USB stick any different?
So if we are using it on a rooted phone with the hacked hotspot and unlimited data plan, they can't cap that. Only for people paying the 29.99.

I purposefully just purchased the phone because I just knew this was going to happen. I think that it should be grandfathered for those of us who actually pay for and use the Hot Spot. I am loving the phone but not the recently implemented changes. Soooo, do I keep the SG2E4GT or take it back and use my MiFi from Millenicom that I am using that is $69.99 per month for 10GB on 4G or 3G when 4G isn't available-total of 20GB per month? (That is, when they decide to turn the Verizon LTE tower on. It's been 4 months!).

Probably won't but any more phones from Verizon for fear of losing our grandfather status. Read somewhere that we will get one round of device upgrades before we are forced onto a tiered plan. Can anyone confirm this?

I just hope tmobile's network will be able to take the hit from all of us data hogs + the new ones who will be making the switch. That's the only thing that worries me because it would suck to be on an unlimited data plan that only crawls along web pages and streaming.

I was a little bummed that I left sprint after 9 years and was missing my sprint unlimited everything and have been keeping a good eye on my usage now with TMO so I dont go over. Now I'm really glad I switched over. Currently on the value $64.99 (500 min, unltd texts, and 5gb data) plan and from the looks of it I'll be paying $5 more to get the unlimited everything. Cant wait for the 5th! The plus side of Tmo is I get 4g speeds in 99% places I go and didnt have to wait for LTE to roll out for sprint.

Customer retention can offer you unlimited 5GB data for $20 (this does not have the tethering option) and it can be added now, no need to wait till the 5th. They only have the 5GB plan, i already asked about the 2GB for $10 and they said they don't have that offer. I didn't take this option even though it is $10 cheaper (I currently have the grandfathered unlimited data & text for $35) cause I always find myself tethering my laptop or tablet during travel when the hotel wireless is spotty.
I just got the 5 gig from retention but the rep states that I still will only have a five gig cap is this true? or does he know what he's talking about? I'm thinking he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. But got that plan from retention for 20 bucks a month

At a time when Verizon and AT&T are charging more for Data, T-Mobile comes to the rescue with unlimited Data for $30 for Classic Plans and $20 for Value Plans.
<3 I am excited! I was actually considering switching to Sprint for truly unlimited data, but now that my beloved T-Mobile is getting it, I am never leaving!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
The unlimited data plan does not allow tethering. This is a quite reasonable limitation in my opinion but even so I am sure it will be bypassed on rooted phones by Sept. 7th.
Its almost TOO good to be true. But Tmo does take out the included HotSpot Tether (easy work around for us here tho ). This + the iPhone5/LTE (hopefully for Tmo's sake) + HEAVY marketing (including improved network toting & great prices) will bring new customers in droves. Tmo needs this combo punch for the holiday season.
Also, does anyone know how to only test the 1900 HSPA+ band on the GNex instead of AWS/1700 HSPA+? Tmo has been working on HSPA+ over their 1900 band for some months now, and I want to see if any towers in and around Seattle are enabled yet.
Have not been this excited about something from tmo in a long time. Still waiting for a catch, but damn this will be epic. I get unlimited through my dealer line anyway, but will be awesome for my wife.

Great battery life using HSPA+ here.
I bought a gn2 unlocked off craigslist for $450.00 cash.
Purchased a solavei wireless sim card.
60 bucks a month no throttle after any amount of data used.
Great coverage averaged 14 mbps down. Hmm with speeds like these hard to see how sprint stays with these guys.
For the first time in years I have been thinking of bouncing. From sprint to another Carrier . The blazing data speeds have me mezmerized. Solavei rides on tmobiles network. But at that price it may be worth a switch.
Bought the 2nd gn2 for a work phone. Gonna wait and see if sprint builds out the lte network in my area. But it's sad when I go back to my sprint gn2 and speeds won't pay 512 kbps on average.

HSPA+ ? Trust me even still in the dfw areas it's good averages 6 to 15Mbps. They don't need to roll out lte but normal consumers don't understand differences between 4g technology. And t mobile is truly using 3g but when pushed to its ultimate limits it hits 4g like speeds. But they don't people that obviously.but that's why gsm is so much better than cdma and other stuff too lol

I have tmobile and one of their major slogans sort of is "the only truly unlimited data plan". Ive used like 30 gigs of data the month I have owned my note 2 and have never been throttled. Usually get around 27mb 19 down. I notice no change in speed.

No they have a plan that's 5 and 10Gb with hotspot that's throttled but if you get the unlimited 4g plan it's cheaper and better setting how we can all get hotspot for free.

If Sprint were to release EvDo RevB or even RevC, it'd pull speeds of up to 30mbps, too. Problem is, lte becoming the new standard, it'll evolve the fastest and its cost efficient for Sprint in the long run (also cost efficient for any carrier.) This is why everyone's going to lte.

GSM certainly has its advantages, that's why I was with T-mobile previously. The HSPA is getting pretty fast at it's peak, but there are so many times when you don't get those numbers if you are in a heavily used area.
Having said that, I switched to Sprint because they are implementing the next wave of GSM (READ: LTE-A) before T-mobile will be finished with their GSM network (Read: HSPA+42)
