T-Mobile Will Introduce New “Unlimited” Data Plan That’s Actually Unlimited
So who will be switching over? I probably am since I currently have the $30/5GB plan and it seems like a no brainer. Great to see T-Mobile do this.
I will be.

Don't they charge a $250 migration fee or something absurd, every time you change your plan?
You are right though:

I wonder if theyll offer this plan for the monthly 4g prepaid consumers. That would be nuts!

Is that $30 on top of the data plan? Or is it all together $30? Idk if I'm wording this correctly lol

It appears it will be free if you already have the unlimited (5GBP)(like me). It says upgrade to unlimited from 2gb for $10. Thats $30
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Probably in preparation for the I phone 5 launch.
I have a question though. Let's say we got the truely unlimited plan can we still use the tethering option in cm10 without getting caught?
Hopefully they just add $5 more to the 30/monthly 4G plan.

I just hope tmobile's network will be able to take the hit from all of us data hogs + the new ones who will be making the switch. That's the only thing that worries me because it would suck to be on an unlimited data plan that only crawls along web pages and streaming.

Sometimes I need to tether my nexus 7 so I'm not sure about switching. Is tethering via usb the same as via Wi-Fi?

Just root and use Wifi tether for Root users and no one will ever find out you're using your S3 as a hotspot.

I'm not very versed in tethering but I read that tmo was still catching tethering on the "back end"??? So they are able to see it anyway.

there's a way to do it never fear. They can't catch SH$#
I was a little bummed that I left sprint after 9 years and was missing my sprint unlimited everything and have been keeping a good eye on my usage now with TMO so I dont go over. Now I'm really glad I switched over. Currently on the value $64.99 (500 min, unltd texts, and 5gb data) plan and from the looks of it I'll be paying $5 more to get the unlimited everything. Cant wait for the 5th! The plus side of Tmo is I get 4g speeds in 99% places I go and didnt have to wait for LTE to roll out for sprint.

Customer retention can offer you unlimited 5GB data for $20 (this does not have the tethering option) and it can be added now, no need to wait till the 5th. They only have the 5GB plan, i already asked about the 2GB for $10 and they said they don't have that offer. I didn't take this option even though it is $10 cheaper (I currently have the grandfathered unlimited data & text for $35) cause I always find myself tethering my laptop or tablet during travel when the hotel wireless is spotty.
I just got the 5 gig from retention but the rep states that I still will only have a five gig cap is this true? or does he know what he's talking about? I'm thinking he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. But got that plan from retention for 20 bucks a month

If you received the preferred android data plan then yes it will have the soft cap of 5 GB a month then slows down to 2G speeds.

At first probably nothing. Eventually who knows. Plan rate drops? Doubtful but always possible. Honestly the value plan with unlimited data is the sickest postpaid plan out there. In my opinion it destroys any thing Verizon att and sprint can offer. I just dropped Verizon for Tmobile and I couldn't be happier.

Lower plan prices???? I just signed up for my first plan and Verizon would have cost me $75 more a month. That's including me paying for my phones each month. I'd like to see more 4g coverage and that means huge investments by tmo. Lower prices won't get us there.

Yeah, I left Sprint (w/15% discount) for TMO and saved $40 per month (w/15% discount). Verizon would have been $45 (w/25% off data) more and ATT (no discounts) would have been $80 more per month.

You have to remember, its not good customer service to alter or increase the price of plans, etc or anything just because you hire in a new person, even if said person is the CEO.
I mean, imagine how many people will jump ship, how many dollars is that lost? Millions.
actually a lot has changed.
In case you didn't notice, this thread was started last September.
Plans, pricing, contracts, HSPA+42, LTE, etc, etc, all have been influenced and changed by the new leadership in the company.

Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
They're shifting everyone to LTE - I think - to try and start taking down WiMax in some of these markets. I'll be interested to see if any new devices will be able to use the Clear band anytime soon.
All in all will be an interesting year for Sprint. If the deals go their way they may be in nice shape for the rest of the CY.
Only devices using wimax now are the multi band hotspots and clears routers/hotspots. No new wimax phones are being produced, but older stock maybe rebranded a la the epic touch on boost and vm
I like to break stuff!
I used to work for boost.. To this day customer service sucks... Virgin is the worst though
Even my service provider cricket wireless is becoming 4G. And it started with the wackest phones 4 years ago while sprint. Was claiming they had it . And had better smartphones. Now cricket has the s3. And is going 4G LTE this year. Not even sprint is that Fast

Then again, I had Cricket not too long ago (switched from Cricket to Sprint when I got the Note 2 on opening day) with my EVO 3D and they make you pay for each GB of data per month.
I had 2GB and was paying 60 a month. It sucked when the data speeds slowed.
Think it was an extra ten for another GB.
In actuality, their data is not unlimited.
I called and complained to them stating I thought everything was unlimited and they said, "well, not that."
Lol.

I guess it depends on the plan you have too. I have a family plan with 6 lines on a 1500min everything data account. So I pay $230mo after taxes for 2iphones,my GN2 and 3 dumb phones to get unlimited data, text and the shared minutes. I can't beat that on pre pay yet.

Yes I am authorized for 10 plus lines on my "account". But the limit per "plan" is supposed to be only 5 lines. So you can have 2 plans with 5 lines each, but not 10 on one plan. Unless you open a business plan.

If you value privacy it is... theres plenty of reasons that may be positive. Doesn't necessarily mean it outweighes the inconvenience. But for 27$ Im real cool with that. No complaints.

Go to Walmart. ...hit the electronic dept. ask the clerk for a FAMILY MOBILE START UP KIT. If you rooted your phone and your on XDA, then you probably able to follow the step by step instructions to activate the chip with the customer rep. Its 27$ to start....if you pay the bill, its like 44$ a month. I dont. I just get a new kit. Dont care for the number to stay the same.

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.
