Just got a call from the roaming department and they said that there is no more unlimited data and issue limited to 5gigs.... What gives???

There never was unlimited data when you abuse your roaming rights.
But she clearly stated on network there is a 5gB limit
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
If she said on network she was wrong. I work for Sprint.
Confirming... this is for a phone and NOT a broadband card?
They did change their "unlimited" to 5gb for the data connection cards.
If you're talking about your phone, it sounds like either they didn't explain the call clearly or you misunderstood.
I too got a call about roaming, basically there is no 5gb limit, its 300 megs roaming.
Unlimited while on the Sprint network, 300 mb while roaming.
I'd been roaming using around 2 gigs for a few months and got a warning call.
So... what REALLY happened ;-)
some reps are clueless.......
its unlimited on and 300mb roaming
one even said 5gb roaming lol
Sprint hotspot app is 5gb/300mb cap also

Last month I had over 2gb in roaming and was not charged or did not receive any calls

They recently changed this plan to "unlimited" where as before it was pay per megabyte. After your reach your limit you get throttled to almost a crawl. Figure this was worth a mention for those looking to cut corners. I know I will probably switch temporally to save a few extra bucks. I use a lot of data but I can contain it on wifi, also Pandora still works pretty good on 2g and less hicups that with Virgin Mobiles 3g (true story) I need internet as I need if for text message as I use Google Voice other wise I would probably just do with out.

Just noticed this on the value plan. Have no idea about the classic plan
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I thought the GS3 required at least the 2GB plan....
Possibly but I think on the value plan data is optional.

I think you maybe right when I go to make the changes it says something along the lines "sorry we cant complete your request" I think this is absolute crap if this be case

Just checked out on the individual plan as if I were going to buy online and it let me well sort of obviously I am not going to add an unnecessary phone line. Then again with the value it looked like all was well untill I got the generic message saying they cant help me with my request

Actually i had that plan and after you reach your data of 200 mb,you get charge of .10 cents a mb up to 25.00 dollars and then they throttle you unless they change the plan all together.i tried to get the unlimited nationwide 4g but couldn't since i have a grandfather plan...so i went with the 5gb unlimited with free tethering...

Did you even read the first sentence of the thread?
on verizon ATM and wanting to get back on att - looking to see if the loop hole still working on att since i have unlimited data on verizon atm. i was told i need an iphone 2g and need to activate the via itunes and pick unlimited data /200 txt and then call nd upgrade unlimited data to the 4g unlimited data - can anyone point me in the correct direction or let me know if it STILL works? thanks
From what I have read that no longer works.
I got all the way to finding an old 2g several months ago. Reading at that time the loophole had been closed. If it has reopened I may look into an un activated sim and give it a try.

When do they begin to throttle your data speeds? AT&T is 5GB (thank god today started a new billing cycle)..
I read on Slashdot that att doesn't track port 53 (dns) traffic.. To cheat you could in theory just get a tiered plan and do all Web traffic through a port 53 proxy....

I looked and didn't see any threads about this, but Tmobile is currently offering an upgrade from the 500mb hotspot that comes with the unlimited plan for free. If you're on the unlimited plan just call em and you will get 2.5gb hotspot for free.

Called T-Mobile and confirmed the promotion, went from 500Mb to 2.5Gb at no charge.
Yup I wouldn't lie to ya lol. .. just after you call confirm on my Tmobile app. It took 2 calls for me b4 was applied correctly.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
And you may also want to check if you were on the 2.5 GB upgrade because you'll get bumped up to 4.5 instead of giving you the 2.5 for 10.00 cheaper...

I just noticed that you could also go online to your Tmobile account and make the switch there (and possibly the Tmo app).
I just wonder if there are any hidden changes/limits to the service after the switch is made..

only "hidden" thing I noticed is it's not for people with truly unlimited, it's for people with unlimited everything. Like unlimited talk text and data, not just unlimited data.

When I called today the representative said there is no such promotion. Has the promotion expired or did I just happen to reach someone who isn't very good at her job?

There is some confusion about this....
It isn't really a promotion. What it is, is that tmobile has changed their base tethering pool, from 500MB to 2.5GB.
If you look at your account online, you should see your unlimited data, with 500MB of smart phone tethering, which costs $20. You can upgrade that to the same unlimited data with 2.5GB of tethering... for $20.
so unless you look, you don't notice that it is there. Had mine put on 2 days ago.
Thank you OP for this thread!! 2.5GB, woohoo!!! All I did was called and they did it for me, easy as hell!!:laugh:
Just did it online for my account. 2.5GB for no additional charge. Awesome.
Just did it myself, had to update my plan for 5 dollars but, both my phones got it 2.5 gigs a piece

I thought that every other plan without unlimited gets to use there whole data on tethering. So the 4.5 plan can use 4.5 gb on tethering. But the unlimited can only use 2.5 gb on tethering.

I have 4.5gb and I was wondering if you have a unlimited data plan can you tap into the unlimited data instead of your hot spot data which may save us some money for the hot spot plan

Well I have 2.5 GB for 10 dollar a month, just call them up with unlimited data +2.5GB tethering only add another 10 buck equal 20 buck a month sweet.

STILL WORKS- CONFIRMED. I have unlimited everything on my S4 which included 500MB in mobile hotspot. I just called, they "updated my account type" then 3 secs while still on the phone I got a text saying the generic "features changed on my account." 2.5GB of tethering for FREE

I'm on the $30/mo plan with 100 mins. Data is unlimited, but 4G speeds are throttled after 5gb
I am on the Simple Choice plan, I pay $63/mo and have truly unlimited everything.
Awesome . Just realized that the att one m8 doesn't have the AWS band so I'll have lots of dead spots where there isn't 4g. Ie( out of my city).

I recently unlocked my D850 changed the carrier to Net 10 Tracphone which is still AT&T but the unlimited data plan is limited to 1.5 Gb download for 4g. I was wondering if there was a way to get around this limitation by changing a value in build.prop?
Lol. Your funny. Unlimited data limited to 1.5gb?? Unlimited must mean something else cross the border.
If it just was that easy, we all had unlimited 1.5 GB data .:beer::beer::beer::beer:
Its measured by your carrier on there servers. Nothing to do with you build prop

I believe what he's saying is he gets unlimited data, but the 4G speeds are capped at 1.5GB. After that his data speed will be throttled - probably down to 2G speeds. It's a common practice amongst prepaid carriers in the US.
Wow. Thanks for clearing that up. But still nothing you can do about data throttle @1.5gb
My carrier has unlimited LTE and says they throttle me down to 4g after 15gb, but I never got throttled, even after 25gb.
