as long as u dont take a smartphone off of the line you will keep unlimited data (for now, who knows what vzw will pull a year from now)
so u can upgrade with ne2, myverizon, w/e and it wont affect it
vzw classifies 3g and lte phones the same way
That's my impression as well. Of course they may change that at any point...

I have unlimited data as well and i did an early upgrade (to another smart phone).. no problem..
I kept my unlimited web/email plan (w. 22% corporate discount include data) on the HTC Eris as a grandfathered plan, just upgraded/extended my primary line this month & my "old" 100 text msg. plan for $2.99 also stayed. Re-checked my account profile after activation and everything is good (true even if I moved to 4G LTE like the TBolt ....)
If in doubt, call Customer Care upon phone activation to confirm and they can always submit a request to review & restore your unlimited data to the Inc2's line.
The best online direct renewal/extension from Big Red is $99 after deducting instant rebate so my last $30 NE2 credit isn't given or applicable - I checked around, retail indirects couldn't do any better - I ordered mine via TigerDirect / TigerConnect (a/k/a CircuitCity & CompUSA online) and got mine FREE - not a penny, zero cost to me & FedEx'd in 2 days. The only catch is that I must keep it on the line with no changes for 181 days (service downgrade/transfer to another line, etc.) or I would be charged $400 even if no ETF is involved. As a long time VZW user since the NYNEX days, this is NOT a problem for me so I am in for another 24 months sentencing, LOL. Still have secondary line eligible for upgrade (since this March, been holding off) so DW might get a newer one, but not those battery killing 4.3"+ monster.
The extra bonus on top of it all is that it came out of the sealed box with HB0.97 or 2.3.3 so it was easy once I read about 200+ screen pages & prep'd 2 PC to do the "works" - it's now S-OFF ....
This is the only (soon to be unlocked) global phone that I would consider in the lineup for travel abroad, plus it will work on AT&T/T-Mo bands here for voice calls, important for backup contingencies on a single device.
So I just bought my SGS2 last night (coming from a rooted Sensation), and just my luck I hit 5GB after I installed one friggin app! I go back to 4G in 4 days, but I really would rather get my data fast back. Has anyone been able to get their data back by either calling T-Mobile or doing any mod to the phone? Does the "swithcing to 2G in settings and then back to 4G" work for anyone? SO far for me it did not work.
how is i t possible to hit 5gb data with installing 1 app
edit: mayb u had the plan before sgs ii (but it came out 15 days ago so idk how your month would be resetting allready)

I am at the end of my billing cycle, and I had a rooted Sensation that I used the crap out of this month prior to buying the SGS2 yesterday. The one app just happened to be the last little bit of data I had left (bad luck).
Now that we have that mystery behind us is there any solutions?
No sorry man, there is no fix. Tmo won't do anything, supposedly they can't. But none of the old workarounds work anymore. It sucks.

Ive done this once, when my vibrant was in repair, i switched to my blackberry 9780 and had them change me to the blackberry plan. It was the same cost internet package wise so i paid nothing, but the blackberry web plan was different so it reset my data, and i was at 6gb and throttled, two days later i got vibrant back and switched back, but my new reset data stayed the same.
Hope this helps

So the way T-Mobile phrases it on their plans page, they say something like this:
Unlimited data for social networking and navigating (up to 2 GB of high-speed data included)

Does this mean if I disable 3G/4G early in the month and use 2G only for let's say 2GB, if I later turn on 3G/4G that I'll still have 2GB of high-speed data?
Or after 2GB are you screwed whether it was on 2G or 3G/4G?
You should be "screwed" after 2gb, whether fast or slow.

Tmo is actually pretty legit, they do "pro rated" charges where if you are throttled, you can upgrade to the 5gb plan, just till the end of the month, and only pay the percentage of the month you used that plan for.
my cable went out the day that this show "bored to death" was coming out, and so i just called Tmo upgrade to a 5gb for the last 3 days of my billing cycle and was able to torrent it via tether.
Then i called them to downgrade when my new billing cycle started, i think i only paid 2 or 3 bucks for the extra data.

I was told that if I bought a Simm card from them for $12 I could still use the T-Mobile service? Its $45 a month unlimited. If I pay 200 to term my T-mobile Account, I break even in 5 months??? Vs. the *0 a month I spend now. Is this true?????

I'm gonna guess you meant $80 since that is where the star key is on the keyboard and you are more than likely on a post paid plan. Yes, Straight Talk is just a virtual carrier of T-Mobile/AT&T. It is prepaid and there is limitations. T-Mobile also has prepaid Unlimited for $50 just so you have options here.
But there is a catch to Straight Talk – unlimited is actually limited. If you start using too much data, you WILL be cut off, and will lose your prepaid time, and they will disable your sim card / phone from working on their virtual network. Read fine print to understand the details of unlimited “web browsing” (that is no tethering, no downloading, no youtube). In a nutshell – Straight Talk will cut off heavy data users after about 2-3 GB in one month, and if you are not cut off right away, there is always that chance. If you use mobile web moderately, you are safe.
By contrast – T-Mo gives you 5GB of full speed data (up-to 42Mbps, which is comparable with LTE speeds), and even if you go over 5GB, they will throttle your speed to 2G – not cut you off or charge you extra.
Straighttalk WILL THROTTLE you even if you consume less than 1gb. I was 2 days into my month when my service was throttled. I called and it was fixed. (had consumed less than 200mbs) and then i was throtteled again the next day. They said i was being throttled and my regular speeds were gonna return when my service plan ended (which was like 27 days latee). I told them hell no and that i wanted the service i paided for. They said i had violated some terms for data usage and that i could not use tethering. Since then ive only used my cell to browse my emails and check news and its being throttled once again. Im moving to tmobile once my month is up.
If you use your phone moderately, you should be fine.

Wow A lot to consider. I used 12 gigs last month w/o tethering. I was planning on buying a T-mobile Simm. But now, I have read 2 people saying I will be throttled. I guess I will call them and see. Someone mentioned a $50 T-mobile plan? I pay I think 80 for mine with the new unlimited data....
I have been using straight talm byop for like 8 months now. First with my htc amaze now with my galaxy s3 and I average close to 15gb a month. I have never been throttled.

if your talking about straighttalk. its non refundable.
They recently revamped their throttling...
I used to be able to get a reset when I called in to them.
Last week when I got throttled, I called them and they told me I was in violation of the agreement and it would be reset at the end of the cycle.
Called again and the rep did the reset... The very next day I got throttled again and I can't get anybody to give me a reset. (12 calls).
I am thinking that they give 2 resets per refill card or they are cutting off resets all-together.
Has anybody here got a reset since yesterday?
Is At&t still throttling data for grandfathered unlimited users? I used to get a warning text when I got near 5gb. But for the past two months I have been streaming through the Google Music App and haven't gotten one text message or email. I am currently up to 13gb data usage, my next billing cycle is 5/27, so I may hit 20gb for the month. I remember when I first got my Galaxy S III I streamed for a week straight and got the text message warning.
Is this something they are doing for their unlimited lte users, because I was seriously thinking about signing up for T-Mobile's unlimited data plan. But if things keep going the way they are going, I'll have no reason to switch.
I guess since they are in heavy competition right now with T-Mobile, they have no choice but to follow suite and have truely unlimited data for grandfathered unlimited data plans.
Has anyone else experienced this?

To my knowledge they aren't throttling users who were grandfathered in. My buddy has an iPhone 5 with unlimited data and he passed 7gb the other week, no warning message or anything.

Very true, but I'm not sure about specific speeds. I guess I can ask him to log them and see what happens over time.
After a while I stopped getting warnings, but am still definitely throttled after 5gb. Best way to check is to get the speed test app and check your speeds before and after hitting 5gb one bill cycle. Keep in mind it can take a day or two after hitting the mark before it kicks in.
Maybe you're lucky and slipped through the cracks some how.
they throttled me.. I have the 3 GB data plan, & I'm up in the 5% they said. I only get "G" speeds, & I tried to select 4g & 3g only in the *#4636#* menu and still I'm stuck with slow ass speeds til the billing cycle restarts. it sucks!

I'm on the grandfathered unlimited data plan and I got a warning a few weeks ago that I was approaching 5GB:
"Your data usage on your 4GLTE smartphone is near 5GB this month. Exceeding 5GB during this or future billing cycles will result in reduced data speeds, though you'll still be able to email and surf the web..."
I got this on 4/25/2013, so yes, they still throttle, or at least threaten to throttle. Don' know where I finally ended up since I don't know what my billing cycle is (company phone, and I never see the bill).

This works on AOSP ROMs as well, just FYI.
Yeah, most of the "check your (data/minutes)..." dialer codes will.
AT&T still throttles. Once you have went over the 5Gb mark and they send you a message, they are free to throttle you from that point. They have given you an official written notice. Whether or not they will throttle you I think is a matter of how lucky or unlucky you are. Seen it happen with a couple of friends of mine. Both got the messages but the following month despite both going over the mark, only one was throttled. Luckily I never hit more than 5 gigs (usually between 3 to 4.5 gigs depending) because my internet at home is just as fast (a touch faster actually) as LTE, so when I am at home I utilize WIFI as it seems to give me better battery life when utilizing internet services.
They were throttling at the 2gb mark.
The 5gb mark is back to the original unlimited plan. Its atleast better.

This was true at one point, but (after a couple last suits) they have since changed their policy to throttling once you hit 5gb each billing period.
I received that message months ago and have since, on numerous occasions, gone over 20gigs for the months billing cycle. As far as I know, I'm not being throttled though I am doing the speed test logging now.

Also please note you dont get unlimited data with straight talk. while its cheap BUT with them turning off data for no reason, not telling people what the data limit is, horrible cs, As soon as i found out gophone was allowing ANY phone they sell on postpaid on prepaid(including iphone 5) AND allowing LTE data. i switched!!!!

Yea i have a iphone 4s as a backup phone. As i was using it as a example because with st, you have to jailbreak to have mms, but with gophone everything works out the gate! which is a positive because alot of people may not want to tweak with their phone to get simple things to work. And what sold me was the warranty claim i got and im on prepaid! While i dont call customer service ever, it nice to know and a piece of mind that i HAVE cs when i need it. and with my area having lte it was a no brainer, and the fact that i can blow my data in a day if i wanted to. you pay for what your getting and KNOW what to except. i got throttled on st because one day i use over 100mb and some days later i get throttled to a useless speed that i cant do anything data wise without being around some wifi on my phone. The only thing st has going for it is it price, but for me and after tax with st, im paying 2-4 dollars more a month but im getting so much more in return!
I've had ST for a while now & I like the service. It's $90/mo after taxes for my 2 phones ( mine & my wife's ) since we pay $42.50/mo w/ the autopay discount deal they had @ the time.
No CS? No problem. I've had AT&T since 2000 until I moved to ST last year. AT&T's CS wasn't very good @ all... it took 3 days of the 5th degree & 3 "senior" techs to finally diagnose one of my phones as non-working... @ this was w/ a family plan that ran us $170/mo after taxes.
The other thing was the removal of my grandfathered plan of unlimited data + 1500 texts for $40/mo when I bought my GS3.
So.. $42.50/mo w/ 2 gigs of data ( throttled after ), unlimited talk & unlimited text is just fine for us. The Iowa City, Ia area doesn't have LTE & I can barely get stable 3G out here; so I'm not concerned about the loss of LTE.
I work at Walmart and we stopped carrying the straight talk/net ten carry over package because they don't sell and from what I've been told the only way to buy straight talk att sims was Amazon or eBay since st didn't sell them anymore. So don't expect to walk into wall mart and buy the sim, they don't do that anymore.
Just looked at the straight talk sight and they do have are "compatible" sims so now I can tell people to go buy it online and leave me alone 14.99 for a sim 45$ "unlimited" everything you'll be paying 63.59$ USD your first go round. In new York at least. Home to 8% sales tax
Don't expect 4g or to be able to use a 4g phone easily. From what st customer service told us is on iphones especially most features don't work, for instance MMS only works from one iPhone to another something im sure you could fix in the APN settings

Gophone att lets you get LTE data with their unlimited talk/txt/2gbs of data for 60. callingmart gets it down to 52. extra data is 10 bucks for 1gb!(optional if you need it)
Also you can use any att phone(including iphone 5) no jailbreaking or changing apn, everything will work out the gate!!! Go to corporate att store and get your sims for free! also have any issues you can go to the att store for help!
customer service is a million times better, and i got my s3 replaced through att cause it still had a year warranty through att. I bought the phone used of craigslist, and it stop charging after a month!
Also please note you dont get unlimited data with straight talk. while its cheap BUT with them turning off data for no reason, not telling people what the data limit is, horrible cs, As soon as i found out gophone was allowing ANY phone they sell on postpaid on prepaid(including iphone 5) AND allowing LTE data. i switched!!!!

I've been using callingmart for a long time so when you have enough point you can use those points to knock off percentage

Anyone on straight talk have to change their APN recently? I refilled the other night before my service ended at midnight, and I lost data. Next day, still nothing! Had to call customer service, and after about 30 minutes of garbage she had me switch my APN from wap.tracfone to att.mvno. Data came back?? I've uses wap.tracfone for a year with no issues!!!

Is there a difference in data speeds or anything else?

I read somewhere (can't remember where) that anyone with the old apns had to change due to the change in contract with at&t.
Nope not that I'm aware of

If you don't mind me asking, where do you live? Do you use YouTube? What are your typical speeds? Can you stream with no problems? Stories differ so much from person to person, I just want to make sure all questions are answered if I use this. I have the option of doing the family mobile deal with Walmart and getting an employee discount, which brings the monthly down to like $25, but as its T-Mobile I'll have to do one of the mods to be able to use it. I'm not ever in an area of LTE so I really don't care about that. I just want to make sure streaming (music, video, YouTube) is allowed with straighttalk. Also, if I take my number with me that I've had for 10 years and then find its not for me, do I lose my number?
