Does anyone know if T-Mobile is going to add more gb or remove data throttle? I use the 5gb within 2 weeks.

Just change your APN to another one and you will reset your limit
How do you do that??

After the at&t merger competes it's much more likely that you will be capped at 2GB and be charged $10/GB if you go over.

Not true. Any users that had unlimited data before price changes were grandfathered in..what makes you think it'll be any different?
They cap you at 5GB? No unlimited plan?

Yea at 5gb they slow it down to ridiculous speeds.

The method of changing APN's doesn't work anymore. I do believe that as far as getting around the 5GB limit throttle, there is no way around it!
@OP, there was some rumors or news that T-Mobile was considering rising up the limit to 10GB, but I can't verify that sadly.
Ok thanks I guess ill just wait.

They don't have to keep around grandfathered plans forever, I'm sure they won't be forcing people to change right away but I expect that at some point they will make it harder to hold onto the old plans as they did for the other AT&T users when they did away with unlimited data.
I just got throttled too =(
Learned my lesson, I'm going to set up a notification next month to warn me when I get closer to my cap...
What's up everyone. I might be picking up a used sgs2 4g. I'm currently not under contract with T-Mobile, and was wondering if this phone could be used under simple mobile. I'm kind of enjoying the no contact prices, but not the no contact devices. If it would work under simple, would 3g/4g work? That's all I really care about. Thanks!

From what I've heard T-Mobile's 3g and 4g should work on Simple Mobile because T-Mobile and Simple Mobile shares the same radio bands.

Simple mobile rents out Tmobiles network, any Tmobile device will fully work on simple mobile without an unlock. My source is Tmobile, my employer.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Yes, T-Mobile's 3G/4G works on Simple Mobile but you will have to change the APN's to get it to work. Their data is limited to 2GB's tho. After that they throttle you to a snail's pace! It's the only that sucks about Simple Mobile.
Has anyone used the sgs2 on simple mobile? How is the service?

Phone rocks!
Love your work!

Thanks for the reply. Did you buy the T989 from a t-mobil corporate store and then just use a simple sim & apn settings? This is what I am thinking of doing.

I got it for 10 hours then i returned it, screen and camera was better with optimus v, so i bought SG2 and will never never go back. Monthly4g $30 plan is good if you don't use more than 100 minutes a month.
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!

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.

$30/month 5GB prepaid, supplemented with google voice (formerly using grooveip/talkatone, but now trying out sipdroid with pbxes as described here)
$30/mo prepaid.
Well, usually about $33-35 for me since I go over 100 minutes by a bit. Those couple extra dollars aren't worth me bothering with VoIP though, I can't stand bad call quality.

That sounds great. How is the download speed, and does the data get throttled after a certain point?

Yeah, you get 4G for 250mb and then 3G the rest of the way. Since I'm hardly ever in a 4G area it doesn't really make a difference for me. The 3G speeds seem fine in my area, but I would guess it all depends on where you are. I'm in a suburb of St. Paul, MN. I get about 200kbps down and 250kbps up. I only care about work emails when I'm on the road though...so that's fine.

T-Mobile to let US customers swap phones twice a year
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/07/10/tmobile_jump_phone_swap_plan/
They're really trying hard to attract customers. This is a serious hook, that's for sure.
True...but do the math. It will definitely draw people to T-Mobile, but they are just throwing away money. You are better off buying the device upfront than selling it yourself after 6 months instead of the 'JUMP' deal. If you upgrade after a year, you have just spent 150 for a phone, 240 for the monthly installments, and 120 for jump...that's 510 to lease a phone for the year. You probably could have purchased that same phone for 600 originally. I'm guessing you could have sold it for more than 90 dollars at the end of the first year.
Plus that includes insurance, so may be worth it for people that are willing to pony up for that anyway. T-Mobile is starting to look awfully tempting especially after the new sprint plan details that leaked recently.

I have 4 lines with the everything plan. this new plan increase my bill about $25 (4 lines 140 + 110 for the new All-in) but it comes with hotspot on every phone.
I suppose that is fairly reasonable to have the hotspot on the phones; as I don't root my wife's and kids phones anymore. talk about a headache. hehehe
On T-Mobile, I am interested to see what amount of $$ they'll give you when you want to trade in for a newer model. Sprint's current trade in is horribly in inadequate.
