How much added cost?

Hello, I currently an on sprint but am wanting to move to t mobile. My family already has a family plan classic plan 1000 minutes plus unlimited msg ($20 add on) plus one of the phones with the $20 2GB data totaling a hundred a month. would it be better to add a lounge to their plan with the s3 or go individual? I never added a line before and the website was confusing me as it said that I have to pay for a plan with data totaling $95 for myself? Am I doing this wrong? I want to add a line plus 5GB data which is $35 and perhaps up the minutes to 2000
My life for Aiur

I just switched to the value plan. Unlimited everything including high speed data up to 5gigs, plus 20 a month for my phone, two lines , and I pay 160 a month. From what I understand you can add lines for 5 bucks a piece on the value plan.

It might cost you a little more, I used to be on Sprint they good coverage but network is too slow, unless you are in a lte market, that being said you won't get as many minutes or data for the same price I pay like 85$ for one account and 500 minutes, unlimited text and 5Gb cap after that, if you buy the phone outright it would be cheaper tho, like 65 for the same amount of data and minutes, you could also add unlimited wifi minutes to your account, if I were in the market for a phone and good and cheaper data plan I would get the galaxy nexus for 350$ from the play store and tmobile 65$ price, your off contract and you have a worldwide phone as well

I'm on T-Mobile .. single line. Unlimited everything 78$ a month ... its the classic plan ... I think t mobile has the best pricing .. att and Verizon are way too overpriced and sprint internet is bad.

The minutes of family plans are pooled. So if you choose 2000 minutes, it will be 2000 minutes for everybody. This means you will also have changed their original pricing plan (1000 minutes to 2000 minutes). This makes it a little more confusing. If you keep their original plan and just add yourself as the third family member it should be $5 plus $35 for 5gb of data (....I think).
Btw, Aiur is dead many years ago. Long live Sakura.

This must be a granfathered plan? I signed up for tmo a month ago and the closest classic plan they had to your pricing is the $84.99 classic plan but thats only 500 min, unlimited text, and 5gb data. Ended up buying the phone for retail at coscto and getting the $64.99 value plan which is also 500 min, unlimted text, and 5gb data.

T-mobile rate plan?

Curious what others are paying on T-mobile... I have 4 lines and I'm paying around $240 each month (with tax) And two lines have 2gb of 4g, and the other two only have 200mb of 4g (all unlimited, but throttled after initial 4g speed limit). I'm under contract until June 2013

I have the value family plan and I'm paying 115 (with tax) every month for 4 lines. 1 line has 5gb and the other 2 gb. The other 2 don't have data just talk and text. We have 1000 minutes we share which we have never gone over

$115 a month... wow, that's cheap. <voice=darth.vader> IMPRESSIVE </voice>

I'm paying $120/ month 4 lines all with 5gb of 4G data, unlimited text, 100 mins each. T-Mobile ftw! One SgS3, one Htc Amaze, and two LG G2x's.

I think you save more money going the value plan route. I also have unlimited nights and weekends, mobile to mobile, unlimited text on all 4 lines.

Yea, I'm with T-Mobile for life.

mobile to mobile only covers your calls when calling other T-Mobile customers sadly. It used to bee all mobile phones.

Anybody know of any discount plans? ie: Corp, free lance, etc

Your company should know. You can't just use any. T-Mobile approves them and verifies them and makes sure you work where you say.

Whats your monthly bill with 2-3 lines w/ unlimited everything?

So I'm currently thinking of switching to TMO to save $$$ but I would like to know how much I would save. I know the pricing from the website but not sure what it would end up with tax. So anyone with either 2 or 3 lines with unlimited data, text & talk. Can you tell me your monthly bill?
I plan to start with 2 lines with unlimited everything then add another once the contract is up with AT&T
TIA

Just curious, but how do you only pay $120/month + taxes for 3 lines? I work out the math to be $70 (1st line) + $50 (2nd line) + $30 (3rd line) = $150 + taxes & fees. Unless you guys have different pricing in S Fla vs California.

Yea, that's not unlimited everything. The 10 bucks per month is only 2GB per phone.
Unlimited is as such:
Unlimited talk and text: 50+30+10=90
Unlimited data: 20+20+20=60
Total=150
I however got a 15% discount for working at Pizza Hut so my total with 3 lines unlimited with 2 phones financed at 20 per month and insurance on one is about 170 after taxes.

...Actually, it is. It's just that after 2Gb, you get slowed to 2G speeds. (Or 3G.. can't remember which one..) You can keep going, however. They don't cut you off. The 'Unlimited' +$20 means that they don't throttle you after 2Gb. D'oh.

Well, sir, now you're just sounding ignorant. I know what the hell I'm talking about so don't you even for a second think you have the right to try to be condescending. If you read the OP's post he wants, and I quote, "UNLIMITED EVERYTHING." It even says that in the title to this thread. "2-3 lines w/ unlimited everything."
How in your mind does unlimited everything = unlimited talk and text with 2GB of 4g and unlimited edge. Is that unlimited everything? Does 2GB mean unlimited to you? How does that make sense, sir?
And it is slowed to 2G/Edge. YAY UNLIMITED 9KB/S WOOO. No. Edge is terrible, especially on T-Mobile in Florida (probably elsewhere, but I've only had T-Mobile here)

Uhm, first, apologies, I was not meaning to sound condescending.
I did read his first post, and he did not say 'Unlimited Everything at 4G speeds', and since on the TMobile site itself, on the 2Gb tier, it even says 'Unlimited' (just that the speed throttling is so small, they hope folks don't read it..!) ..
I think Edge speeds can vary greatly, as around here (Wash DC), Edge is only a touch slower than 3G speeds. (Or else, our 3G royally sucks!)

Bottom line, no one can touch T-Mobile's plans.
Just to give you an idea....
I have 5 Lines @ $110, plus Unlimited Data on main line for $20 and 2.5GB Data for $10 on 2nd line. Total $140.

I have five lines
Base Plan with unlimited talk and text $80
Unlimited Data 4 lines: $80
Insurance on two lines $22
Three Upgrades $60
=$242 + 18 tax =$260
$260/5= $52/mo per line.
Less than $200 with tax when upgrades are paid off which breaks down to:
$40/mo per line.

OP,
I have 2 lines, unlimited talk text and 4g, I am paying 145 per month, this is 120 for the cost, and 12.50 per phone for 2 years.
Can the rest of you folks just answer the damn questions.

I have 4 lines myself but one of them (my sons) is unlimited everything but data (5 bucks a month but part of a deal I got), the other three are unlimited everything and in the end I pay $170 a month for all of it. It should be more I think $199 but I have a 4G booster from T-Mobile because of a connection issue I had that knocks the bill down so I save $30 a month for using it.
If anyone loses signal in their house but has great coverage outside ask about a 4G booster. It's two separate boxes that you plug in, one in the center of the house and the other where you have the best signal "MUST BE at least 2 bars of 4G" for it to apply to your situation other wise they won't bother sending it to you.
Sorry got a little off track there but I'm sure it will be interesting to some one that needs it.

Phone bill $

Just curious how much is everyone paying for their T-Mobile phone bill

Seems to be a little dead here... Lol I pay $156 for 5 phones with unlimited talk and text, unlimited 4G on one line, 4.5gb on another line and 2.5gb on the other 3. ?

My exact setup..! LTE most of the time no more freaking contracts!

56 and some change. Unlimited everything and insurance with no cap on data/LTE. I don't tether too often unless I go on trips with the family, but I never had any problems with paying more.

Current bill averages ~103/month.
Simple Choice Plan: Unlimited Talk + Text = $50
Premium Handset Protection Bundle for Premier Devices = $11.99 (Dunno why I'm still paying for this.)
Unlimited Nationwide 4G = $20
Monthly Equipment Charge = $20
I also have one of those soon-to-be deprecated corporate discounts taking off approximately 10/month.
Coming from Sprint, I have to say I have had a very high quality experience with T-Mobile. I also use the hell out of their international data service in Canada. I could pay off my device and reduce my monthly by 20 bucks, but 0% financing is impossible to beat.

Yep, no point in paying off 0%.
We just moved from VZW. My wife was an employee once upon a time (got swept up when Frontier bought a bunch of the landline business). We still got the discount, but now we pay less than we did on VZW even with the discount. We are not heavy data users, so we just have the new family plans with 1 GB each LTE. I'm using my VZW S4 (everything works...mostly Band 4 LTE around here so I am good to go). She got a new iBend 6 , mostly for the better keyboard case options once the accessories get rolling (she is coming from a Droid 4). We pay $80 for the service.
(About that 1 GB: we have guest wifi at work and I use OpenVPN. There just is not that much time that I am away from wifi, and when I am, I'm busy doing something, not dorking around on my phone. I'm a middle aged dad...no music streaming, watch movies on a real TV with real surround sound, and play games where God intended: on a PC.)

55 x 2 = s4 and s2

Get throttled by the end of the month, though.

I spoke with sprint yesterday. (had the same plan as you) they switched me to another plan with no contract renewal. Went from $82 to $64 a month. Unlimited talk text and 600 megs of data. I average 75 megs a Month outside my house so this is a good deal for me.

Hmmm.. the $64 number is def nicer, but my data really fluctuates, mostly depending on wifi availablity at work and on the road.. I guess i'm going to have to take a look at my data over time and see.

How is that at all a good deal. U r losing unlimited data. I talked to Sprint and they said I can keep the same 450 unlimited data plan at $69.99 when I upgrade at best buy. I enjoy being able to use 2 gb of data or 20 and not worry about it.

I had the same plan, $69.99 + $10 premium data and $11 TEP. Sprint put me on the my way with unlimited everything for 1 cent more. They remove the 10 dollar premium data and the cost is $80. With $11 TEP it comes to the same price plus a penny. Never have to worry about number of calls or data.

I also was able to keep my current plan at best buy. 1500 min for landlines calls all other calls unlimited work unlimited text and data $149.99 for 2 lines or $75 for one.. best buy has never even asked me if I wanted to changeplans. And I have always upgraded thru them

I didn't have an issue. I ordered online through Sprint.
Overall, it would have cost me the same either way. Data usage is a big deal for me since I use around 100 to 120gb per month on the phone.
I may have 450 anytime minutes, but in total, I use around 15 per month, LOL.

When I was on a family plan and bought my note 3 from amazon, they didn't change the plans, all they change is any possibility for a employee discount. I went to my own plan and had the unlimited my way. Was paying $87.00. I went to the easy pay with the preorder of the note 4, so I switched to the $60.00 unlimited plan. I'd you want to renew the discount, they just have you renew it, depending on the plan, it may just cover the data though.

You can carry-over your current plan. I just pre-ordered directly from Sprint (since BB didn't have any left in charcoal), and I carried over my old Everything 450 plan. The only thing that you need to do is renew for another 2 yrs.

Someone please clarify...

After a lil math
Ok I have been trying to figure out the best deal/plan combo and here is what I found.....
If you can keep your old plan and like please do because the new ones with contract renewal aren't worth it. Here is what I found and by all means correct me if I'm wrong on anything.
Unlimited my way plan is $50 unlimited talk and text $30 unlimited data=$80/month but you have the ability to upgrade after 24 months( it's suppose to be new it's not 18 months anymore).
So you pay $300 for the Note 4(if you don't do the trade in thing) +80/month = $2220 (plus taxes and fees that vary) over 2 years
The plan buying the phone out right or with Easy Pay is $30 unlimited talk and text and $30 unlimited data=$60/month but YOU DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO UPGRADE even after 24 months but by then your phone will be paid for so you can buy another on or do Easy Pay again.
So to buy the phone out right you pay $720 (again if you don't do the trade in thing) +$60/month =$2160 over 2 years
AND to buy the phone with Easy Pay is $0 + $90/month ($60+$30EP payment) for 42 months =$2160 over 2 years
As you can see you come out cheaper with the latter two options plus you aren't renewing your contract. I went with the Easy Pay option myself but you have to do what works for you. Again if you found different info please feel free to let everyone know.

I kept my 1500 min share plan of ole

The thought of paying FULL price for a phone makes me crazy..
I was under the impression that here is some sort of subsidy that is given to them by the manufacturers for using those phones..
Meanwhile, I am happy ENOUGH to keep my current 450min/unlimited text and data plan with Sprint. If I HAVE to change plans, a big FU to Sprint and their lousy service and sub par customer service (In my experience) and I will just go with some other rip off company..

If you were a single user, and wanted to sign up with a two year plan, BB pre-order was the way to go. Traded in old phone, and with the $50 pre-order card, plus $200 trade in credit, my part at pickup was $49. Using the plan at the bottom of the page here http://www.sprint.com/landings/datashare/index_c.html?view=unlimitedtalk&INTNAV=eSLlans$85Unlimited, I was able to lower my payments from $79 a month (450min talk, unlimited txt/data for $69 + $10 premium data) to $60 a month ($30 unlimited talk/txt, $30 unlimited data). Can't beat that anywhere. I know it sucks for anyone that didn't jump on the deal. Right now, the cheapest way is to pay up front the $299, and use the $60 unlimited talk/txt/data deal. Yeah, I can wait to get a new phone every 2 years, so this one is a smaller hit per month, which is important. Biting my nails for the Note 6...lol.
Edit: I think I need to eat some crow. I just noticed the $25/month fee they are charging until I'm upgrade eligible. Think I'll be calling customer retention later this morning, and switching back to my old plan.

Yes all correct. One thing you left out is optional $5 month upgrade fee. If you pay extra $5 month you can upgrade every 12 months. I chose this option so I can always have a new phone every yr. You just have to pay the taxes on the phone each yr. This yr for the Note 4 it was $52 in taxes and I gave the note 3 back.
