Just wondering would this call for termination or is it what it says which is unlimited.. Done the Verizon prl hack only because I have very poor signal at home and work.. Even have the air rave and it's not even worth the time of use.... Soon might look to another carrier.. PS. waiting on the Galaxy Note ii before

Lol its not a hack.. But doesnt matter if it says unlimited as its only 300mb while roaming.. And you cant just call and tell them to look at your data you need to wait for sprint to call you and give you a warning before you can get out termination fee free.. Not to mention if you have other lines on your account that do not use as much data roaming they might not let you cancel them all without a etf but only the line thats using too much roaming data.. Not to mention if you have a airrave they might not let you off the hook at all since the airrave is to ikprove signal and you shouldnt be roaming so ur doing something that doesnt seem right..

If you're looking to get terminated for roaming too much, stop using 4G and continue to roam on Verizon's 3G network until you get a letter or a call from Sprint to tell you to find another provider.

Even if you use 300MB a month, if it is not the majority of your data, they probably won't care. From what I can see, you are doing pretty well as you are able to use 6GB of 4G data and 1.3GB of 3G data.

Very misleading title and article. For those that like to skim and call that reading, it would be hard to not come away thinking that sprint is now no different than any other wireless company.
Article author has spite for Sprint, for whatever reason, otherwise he wouldn't write in such a negative tone. That or author is just trying to be sensationalistic in order to grab more attention.

"Oh, I'm leaving sprint, I'm going to Verizon"?
You have unlimited data plan with sprint now and you want to switch to teered plan with Verizon?
All I have to say is this:
Sprint is the last carrier with true unlimited data, get on a plan NOW before they get rid of it. Otherwise for new subscribers it will be as it is with other carriers now.
I wonder if that means sprint will be bringing down the hammer on illegal tethering like att has oooo **** haha

Idk how to feel about this i know sprint has came out and said they wont get rid of their unlimited data for phones and i dont think they will cuz they know it is the ONLY reason people **** with them i admit they been cutting costs in other depts like the premier program and raising the etf to compisate for the data... idk i wanna hold out and see if sprints network vision plan pulls through and if it does it will be great

This is correct, as long as you have the feature enabled it most definitely does not use your minutes. It should be a free feature for every post paid plan that isn't a grandfathered plan.

It doesn't use your minutes if you have the "Free Wifi Calling" feature added to your plan. I had them add this last year when I heard about it in the first place, though the rep called it "Wifi-preferred calling", and can confirm after 13 months that indeed with that feature your WiFi calls do NOT count against your anytime minutes.
OP: Mine doesn't lag at all and our internet is only about 12mbps down/ 4mbps up
maybe need to restart your router/modem?

I'm on the monthly 4G plan and I talked to a representative and she said wifi calling does use minutes and it only serves to make the connection quality better.
If so where is the option to add the free wifi calling option you said that does not use minutes. I only have a 100 minutes so if that's possible that would be awesome.

You have to be on a high enough plan to get the feature, I think Value and Classic plans both are eligible but here is an old thread on the TMO support forum about it:
http://support.t-mobile.com/message/135370
and yes it works great outside the country - I used it on my G2X last August in Japan. Little bit of lag calling back home but what do you expect being on the other side of the planet?

Are you really that surprised when you reach your data cabs Tmobile throttles you down worse than any other company. That's why everyone should go unlimited before they get rid of it, I know they say they're not going to but with Tmobile getting a new CEO who knows what's going to happen.

If you referring to me all I did was asked the OP if he was that surprised as in are you surprised about that, I never once said he was surprised. and then I went on to state to him and anyone else who read the post that Tmobile is notorious for throttling you down worse than any other company. This thread really needs to be locked because it's turning into something that it shouldn't be and I get called an asshole for letting other readers know that Tmobile was the worst when it came to throttling you .

Doesn't this phone not have EVDO but SVDO or something of nature? When it comes to 3G it all depends on your location to pick up SVDO speeds. During speedtests in my area, with full bars, I'll get 1.2mbps down but most of the time I struggle to hit 1. In my girlfriends neighborhood...it is constantly 2-3mbps down. I would imagine because her 3G towers are upgraded already? The only reason it doesn't bother me is because I actually have 4G LTE most of the time in my house and whenever I go outside or down the street etc.
Data speed is awful here....even close to the tower.
When I upgraded to the Note 2 they took away my discount. Now I have crappy data AND a higher bill. We aren't supposed to get LTE until end of 2013 in St. Louis. I really don't think we will get in the small town I live in at all. So, I think I am taking this back and switch to AT&T. What good is unlimited data if its so slow that I cant use it. At&t us the only option. T mobile and vzw have no coverage here. Sprint was of no help including the retentions department. BYE SPRINT

Switched towers in the speed test app. Forgot to screen shot the original test. Once I get to work tomorrow morning, ill redo the test and screen shoot it. Test was performed at home for this thread. There are two Sprint 4g w/LTE towers in the process of going live in my area (Lincoln Park, MI). Till Sprint gets on the ball with better service around here, will just have to put up with things. My phone was doing going whacko w/roaming m and "preparing network" mesgs. As I typed this, got a preparing network mesg. Again, people with patience are needed while on Sprint's service..lool.

Okay so guy i have a boost mobile galaxy s3 and of course sprint is the parent company. Recently they started throttling speeds again after the 2.5gb data cap was reached and now my speeds are 0.15Mbps down which is really bad. I want to know if there is a way to get around being throttled. And if this is against the rules then im sorry for asking but i dont know.

Not sure if its against XDA rules. A moderator will lock this thread if it is. I don't believe there is a way, because throttling is done on a per account basis.

I read about something where you can delete a throttling folder thats in the system files of the phone. It tracks how much data you used on your phone but it didnt work. I think because i had already reached my cap but i really dont know. Im just looking for another way

I don't believe its possible, I'm sure Sprint's servers automatically throttle your phone once it reaches 2.5gbs.

Yea maybe so. Its just so annoying

I got a text today saying in May Boost will throttle to 2G instead of 3G, 2G is basically useless to me so I'll be switching to a new provider @ that point
What!! You cant be serious...i havent got that text message......"yet"

Seems hard to believe Boost / Sprint doesn't keep track of data on their end, rather than on the phone.

I'm almost 100% sure their servers are programmed to throtttle data on any Boost acct. that reaches 2.5gbs, and to me, they kinda should. Why should I have to pay full Sprint price, where as Boost customers pay about half? Folks in that thread pretty much said that fix was useless.

Yeah I thought boosts or sprints throttle was 256kbps but now I've realized its 30kbps on at&t it was 60kbps. Think the only other cheap option is metro PCs. 60$ gets you unlimited but who knows if its really unlimited.
