I wouldn't recomend anything else but the 20-25 dollar unlimited data plan, plus there's a rumor that the're starting to find out how's hacking the proxy, and billing them for the data anyways.
i plan on using t zones as long as i can. if they take it from me (again) its ok.
Does anyone know how this is going to work? I'm an old G1 user, and it's come to my attention that T-Mobile USA has discontinued those talk+text+web data plans for $25 (or $35 for unlimited text). From what I see now, in order to get talk, text, and web, we'll be forced to pay the $30 for the web and $10 for unlimited text, with no other options. If I'm currently on a G1 data plan, can I just switch the device and keep my current plan? I'm guessing the answer is probably not...but I was wondering if you guys knew anything different.
I go the $25 web+400 txt.
And when i got my family plan they said they couldnt change that because if they did i would have to pay more for the web so they left that part alone. But on the switching from g1 to g2 idk if they will try to force an upgraded data on the line or not. I know if they try to do that to me i will raise hell. And they dont even have a 400 txt plan no more its only 1000, 1500 and unlim..
On their website, all I see is the "upgraded" $30 unlimited web. The only option for text is also the $10 unlimited text. I also have the $25 unlimited web+400 texts, and would like to keep that if I can. $40 per month is way too much to pay for what I had before.
I would just swap out my sim when the g2 comes and keep an eye on your bill. if they give you some bs about chaing your data plan, then fuse at them. Tell them you been with them for a long time and you want the rate you been getting. Even tell them your go to a different company. They will more or less change it back if they even change it.
Also its better to do this kinda stuff over tmobile.com so you have a recorded of what they said.
You will most likely have to update to the new $30 web and separate $10 text. Some accounts are able to keep the old data plan ($25 or $35), but most of the time you will have to switch to the current data plan or the order will not process.
It is possible that you will be able to stay on the old plan from the G1, and your best bet is to go in to the store or call customer care to order.

Ordered mines last night and didn't ask or tell me I would have to switch plans but we will see what happens when I get the phone and put in my g1 sim.

I actually changed my minutes when I pre-ordered and they thought they might not be able to without changing my data plan, which they didn't have to do.
So, the regular one should be fine
I work at t mobile, if your getting an upgrade or buying outright your do not have to switch anything if your getting a whole new contract all together, then your forced to get the new rate plans
Indeed, as long as you're already on an Android plan, you won't be forced to the $30 plan.

The store put me on Android Unlimited B2B for $19.99... They said it would work for all their Android phones and fulfill contract obligations, but had to call customer care and have it added.
Not sure what is so special about it, or who qualifies, but it might be an option. To me it still sucks. I had granfathered $5.99 T-Zones on the Nexus One.

Thanks for the info. Now to "upgrade" and get a decent price (150-200), that requires signing a new 2 year contract. In this case, will I still be able to keep the current plan?
I know that if you have about six months of perfect on-time payments that that you can call loyalty and get a $20 per month unlimited data. Its called pref android unlimited web req. on my bill.
You will have to upgrade from $19.99 to $24.99 but don't let them give you the $30.00 plan. If they try threaten to leave. That's what I'm paying.

There's a $20 android data plan? No fair. I had to upgrade my grandfathered $20 "Total Internet Plan" to the $25 loyalty android plan when I swapped out my old iPhone. I was told that was the cheapest 3G data plan now, even with grandfathered ones.

Me too. Tmobile actually removed the tzones plan from my line before I bought the phone and all that. Actually ordered it today but they removed it last night when I was just getting pricing info. Really pissed me off. I'm going to see I I can't finagle it back.
They told me the same thing but I called them a couple days ago and they gave it to me so... the $20 dollar data plan. But only on one of our phones (we have two lines). The other still is on the 24 dollar plan. Boo.

I'm obviously no expert since I started this thread, but my guess is that the $20 dollar plan you're talking about does not include text (you'll have to pay $10 more for unlimited text, there is no other option). The $25 dollar android plan should include 400 texts, I'm assuming that's the old G1 data plan (which I currently have on my G1).

I know for me, the 19.99 was unlimited internet and text. When I upgraded to more than one smartphone on my account, I paid the 19.99 for unlimited text for all the lines on my account.

I was worried about losing my unlimited data when I upgraded. VZW told me if you ask you can stay "grandfathered" in to the unlimited.
My order is in and final and I'm still on VZWunlimited-Sweet.
If you opt into a 2 or 4gb plan you can not go back. Also some of the affiliate discounts(mine is 22%) won't apply to the metered plans either
I'm so glad I contacted VZW now I still get unlimited data for $24/mo!
Did you have a verizon 4g phone before?
I signed a 2 year agreement with Verizon when the Droid Charge first came out with unlimited data. I really want the Galaxy Nexus, which means I'll have to pay full retail. If I do that, I can still keep my unlimited data correct? I've never really bought a phone mid contract before so I just want to make sure.

If you buy a phone or if you upgrade, you keep the unlimited data. There's no way you lose the unlimited data unless you add the hotspot feature in which case they say you need to switch to their new data plans. But, you always have your unlimited data as long as you're on VZW.
Correct me if I'm wrong about that hotspot part!
I think that is for the VZW branded crap ass pay per month tether feature
You can use Wireless tether and other apps but you may have to root. I think it may even have native tether? Just don't tell 'em!
I know my DINC runnning CM7 and Asus transformer could tether nativly with bluetooth.
So awesome I feel like I won the lottery I burn through that 4GB in no time on a slow day at work!
They really try to push you away from it too lol

You would have to talk to verizon there was a cut off date when they changed to tiered service, google it you can find it.
I think if they let you instead of paying retail for GN you break your current contract which would be $350- 10 per month you paid and you should be good for new contract price total of ~500 instead of $650. Then you are back in the contract though...

I should've mentioned that my brother is the primary account holder on the family plan since he gets a discount. Don't know if I can just break it - I'm ok with paying retail for it.

I don't think it works with pre-paid plans. I think it works on the new simple choice value plans though

I did this when I transferred from Sprint. It works. Btw, they were recently doing a $50 visa card if you transfer your number from another provider. Might be worth seeing if you can get into that as well, it's a mail in rebate.
You *do* have to call in. And btw, call in the morning/noonish time. After about 4-5pm PST, I think they switch call centers over to another country (one of the day CSR's told me this). I ran in circles with those people, at one point they tried to charge me an ETF for transfering TO them (from Sprint) *boggle*. Took about one hour to get my transfer put into processing. With another phone line, I called during the day and it was put into motion within 5 minutes. Same process, different call centers.
I did it entirely online. I didn't call in. All discounts reflected properly. It worked like a charm. I also confirmed via online CSR I was getting the $50.00 prepaid Visa card for porting.

I called to ask a couple of questions and CSR was very helpful. This is via the Tmobile advantage program which you qualify for by being a member of the discount site. I think I am going to transfer from my current carrier and sign up over the phone.
Everytime I bring up TMO Advantage program in livechat CSR starts flat out ignoring me
"M*** T: Hi Lily!
M*** T: We appreciate you contacting us about your discount. My pleasure to assist you in checking your eligibility. I am currently pulling up your account.
...45 minutes later, no reply. Same for every agent. wasted like 4 hours TRYING to even ASK a tmobile agent about it, after the "happy to assist bit..." no reply EVER.
J*** S: Hi Lily, I understand this concerns the advantage program, and I will be happy to assist you the best way I can.
30 minutes, no reply.
I literally just signed up so Ive been trying to ask them about the possibility to apply it to my account but if they wont even say anything how can I?
Thanks for the info, going to be saving 12 dollars a month!

Why not just talk to them over the phone instead of subjecting yourself to this?
Any Custom ROMS out there for the S6 EDGE that hacked the Hotspot feature to bypass Tmobiles crappy "You must pay $15 a month to use this feature on your phone even though you bought the phone and it's a feature that comes with the phone and you are already paying for your dataplan but we want to nickel and dime you so you must pay $15 more a month use this feature....just saying" message?
