My monthly data usage is around 400 MB. SO i called tmobile to change from $30 unlimited to $20 2 GB plan. They are saying that option is not available to me!! Called 3 reps and one supervisor and no go. Only options are 200 MB plan for $10 and 5GB + hotspot for $35. So i had to change to 200 MB plan:crying:
Glad this phone can set a usage limit. Why is the 2 GB plan not available
I'm not sure but I think you might be on a different plan and those are the only ones available

Try calling and saying cancellation when you select speak to operator...if the retentions cant do it then maybe it is your plan? You should ask why not when everyone else so far has the option of the 2 gb..
Ask them why?
Walk into a store (not literally ). I have a 2GB plan.
Yeah I think I am going to the store tomorrow. I asked all of them wht, they are saying the system is not showing it as an option. One guy told that the unlimited is a required plan for Android smart phone and that is why. I wonder how they are changing to 200 MB if that is the case!
Atleast they arent trying to sell you 1gb for $50 like verizon lol. Just switched to tmobile and Im getting 5gb for $25. Couldnt be happier.

I have the 5gb plan for $20, but I have a been a customer for a long time. Tmo actually messed up and downgraded me to the 2g and I called and they corrected it. Never had a problem with Tmo service.
I have 12gb a month for $30 on Bell. You guys have crappy providers.

Sounds like its not compatible with your plan. I can't get 200MB of data
From my T-Mobile Galaxy S III in HD
Certain grandfathered plans aren't compatible with that option; it will simply not display as available. You'll have to change the plan too.

Call and when automated operator ask how may I help you say "cancel". The will transfer you to retentions dept. they will def tell you why you can't get a 2gb data plan. Might be your current plan.
One possible reason is that t-mo is requiring everyone who buys a s3 to subscribe to a 5gb plan. I got the 5gb plan and called right away to change it back to 2gb and they did it no problem. Another thing to try might be to try and change it online.

Certain grandfathered plans have access to only certain data plans. One reason why I said...f**K it. I'm going prepaid! Paid for the phone in full...but i'm saving so much more in the long run.
Well I went into tmo the other day and most of the phones had stickers on them that said they required 5gb plan.

Just to give a status to guys, i switched to 200 mb plan now and in the first month finished up at 165 mb usage. Neither the website not customer support can offer me anything else other than $65 for 10 GB and $35 for 5 GB. I think these two plans bundle wifi hotspot but i am not sure.

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.

Did you even read the first sentence of the thread?
Hello
Guys I was wondering should I get 2yrs contract or buy the phone and use pre-paid. I am already using the pre-paid 2GB plan but I was thinking about unlimated plan but for unlimited plan I have to buy post-paid.
Suggestion would be awesome.:cyclops:
It depends, do you need unlimited data? & prepaid is $60 flat (for the 2GB plan) and contract is usually more for the same plan + tax. I wouldn't get a contract unless I was getting a family plan. If you constantly go over 2GB upgrade to 5GB & if that isn't enough then go for the unlimited plan.

The plan I have is unlimited minutes, unlimited text, and 2gb of 4G data(unlimited throttled).

My contract with TMO just ended as well so I decided to try an alternative myself. I unlocked the phone, went to WalMart and bought the Straight Talk SIM. It costs 45 bucks a month + 15 bucks 1 time for the SIM for unlimited everything (TALK, TEXT & DATA) and uses the AT&T network.
So far so good!
I'm running the Domination V2 ROM and everything seems to run great.

They were out of the TMO SIMS when I went to the store. AT&T and TMO seem to share the same towers in my area so I haven't noticed any reduction in speed. Tethering works great as well..

Wouldn't 500/1000 minutes or w.e the classic plan is be like $10/20 cheaper a month? I think they allow you to change without a penalty...
Here's mine...
5 lines
3,000 shared minutes.
Unlimited texts.
3 lines have unlimited 2gb data & 2 lines have the unlimited 5gb.
Edit: oh yeah forgot to add that 4 of the lines have insurance.
Total bill after taxes is $230

We have 3 lines 1200 min ,unlimited text ,5gb data each and [email protected] home. Also all 3 line have insurence. I pay 150. Although if I wasnt on contract and it was just me I would use straight talk.
I have one line, 500 min, unlimited txt, and the unlimited 4g, paying around 85 a month. Value plan though so when i finish paying up the S3 it will be $15-$20 cheaper, though I'll probably end up getting the s4 so it will stay around the same

I'm running simple mobile. I play 50 bucks a month and I have unlimited talk text and HSPA+ 42.2. So its like having the actual T-Mobile but for cheaper, however, some say that they threat on account cancellation after 2GB. I'm surrounded by WiFi and I don't watch videos on the go lunch so I've never gone over the 2GB. I may go to straight talk AT&T because I know AT&T has better coverage but I know I won't be getting 12mbps down anymore. It will.be more like 4 or 5. I also heard that straight talk kills some customers by throttling them to 200kbps. So that's the only reason why I'm afraid to switch from simple

So Sprint has a banner on their website that if you sign up now you are guaranteed unlimited talk, text and data for life. So I guess that means the unlimited plans are going away soon.
Probably.... Sadly the new plans are more expensive than what I have now... And if you have a corporate discount, they will only discount the data portion on the new plans.
Now with soft bank on the their side line they can do or undo.

Does this mean all original Sprint Customers are set for unlimited for life too?
Well i have the simply everything for 99.99 + the 10 dollar premium
Total 109.99
The New MY ALL-IN sm PLAN
110.00 and you get 5gb hot spot I don't think I have that in my plan
The question is if the 10 dollar premium data still exist? With this new plan.
If it is just 110 without the 10 dollar premium data add on its a good deal since you get the 5GB Hotspot included.
Update
After going to sprint not signed in ,I selected a phone and the My all IN sm plan and the 10 dollar Premium data is gone.
Well its not gone they just added it to the plan.
So for 1 penny more you get the 5gb hotspot ..sweet
If you don't want the hotspot it costs 50 dollars for unlimited talk and text and 30 for unlimited data. So it is cheaper than simply everything.

My sister has 3 phones and has 1500 shared and unlimited for 180ish with discount.
Can she stay the same or does she have to upgrade to this new plan?
Which is 120 talk for 3 phones + 90 data for 3 phones I guess they took the minute plans away.
And how does the discount work? I see it varies upon how u use the data please correct me
Please advise Traybent
First phone 50$ Unlim Voice/Text 30$ Unlim Data = 80$
2nd. phone 40$ Unlim Voice/Text 30$ Unlim Data = 70$
3rd. phone 30$ Unlim Voice /Text 30$ Unlim Data = 60$
Each additional phone up to 10 lines = 20$ Unlim Voice/Text 30$ Unlim Data = 50$.
This plan layout does not include the 5gb Hotspot but its cheaper then the unlimited everything plans. Also you can replace the 30$ Data package with 20$ 1gb data package. If its not a smart phone its 20$ for unlimited data or 0$ with no data.
The unlimited data plans for sprint arnt going anywhere, these plans are being offered because of Softbank wanting to put more pressure on ATT / Verizon for cheaper service plans and guaranteeing unlimited data for the life of your line.

These plans are rip off if you already have sprint and are on a family plan.
As a broke college student, I use my unlimited data as my main personal internet at home (Rooted wifi tether).
If sprint were to cut that, I'd be screwed.
All I know is that if Sprint doesn't allow me to keep unlimited on my everything data plan I will be switching. I have been testing tmobile here where I live and they beat Sprint in speed every time. And inside a building I still get signal with tmobile compared to Sprint where I would have to force roam to be able to use the data.

From what I read and understood they will guarantee unlimited data but not guarantee the price. So you can use all you want but we may change this plan to $xxx in the future.
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.

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

Nice find, just switched both the phones on my plan to the new data plans!
Still working
Just noticed this thread gave them a call and they upgraded me to 2.5Gb for free. AWESOME THANK YOU OP
I'm on unlimited plan with 2.5GB data. I just check online if i upgrade to 4.5GB they only give me 500MB?

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

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
