tmobile g1 plan goes up

i don't if anyone notice but recently i believe june 1st, tmobile decided to raise the cost of g1 plans. i was on the phone with them yesterday because i got a g1 for my wife and it turns out that the package i had for 24$ which includes 400 txt, is now gone. you have to pay the 24$ for internet and another 4.99$ for txt.

That's how mine has been since last December, and it was the same way with my old unlocked blackjack.....

scrub scrub

I got my G1 a few months ago and signed up for the unlimited loyalty plan: unlimited minutes for $49.99 and unlimited data with 400 texts for $24.99. I don't think I'll ever switch plans again.

Hmmm, weird, 'cause I've had my G1 since about a week before it was offered to the public, and I have had the Unlimited Everything plan for $35.00. I have had this plan and still do, for the same price. And as far as I know, it hasn't changed for any new G1 owners.

this plan FTW.

Thats what i had, then i switched to a family plan, same deal pretty much. tmo sucks with their price changes. When I had a sidekick the plan was $25 for unlimited everything besides voice, then when i bought the g1 the lpan went up to $35.

Yeah im on the same boat with a 4-way family plan ... best deal ive seen

everyone should go to freelancers.org and sign up..u can get up to a 12-15% savings on total bill take five mins to do it on the phone.
best of all its free!

Hmm so with the 400 text messages...does that mean 400 sent and received or just sent? Cause with My Account it only shows the sent text messages...I don't wanna run up the bill more than it already is.

I wish I didnt have Flexpay so I could use the new BillShrink they offer....anyone have luck lowering their g1 plan with it? Im paying $91 and some change a month. 300Min, Unlimited m2m, Unlimited data/text. unlimited 5 faves.

Yup the family plan is the way 2 go

thats not how billshrink works. billshrink is a third party website that you input your typical cell usage, texting, etc and it compares price plans for all of the major mobile carriers and tells you which one is going to have the best plan. it doesnt actually make your bills smaller with tmo.

Crazy how you have to pay for text, my boy works for tmobile and said it does not cost tmobile any money for text messages.

Tried this, T-Mobile wasnt accepting it or something. I called them twice.

Monthly cost?

i currently have a rooted G1 on Tmoible USA and my bill is $70 a month.. i was thinking of switching to verizon and getting a droid incredible, but can't find anything on the monthly costs.. i know i will need a data plan, but how much are we talkin' about here? i hardly ever call people, so i just need unlimited texting and a data plan.. anyone know how much this would cost a month??
thanks

I believe that is the now infamous false Memorial Day "Prank", thanks though .

the cheapest u can get with verizon, is 39.99 for single line 450 minutes, and 29.99 monthly data. thats $70 + assorted taxes and whatnot, runs about 75 a month.
also, no its not rooted yet.

Since you are on t-mobile. Why don't you checkout the Nexus One?

this only includes about 200 text msgs... so add another 15 bucks for atleast 1500... it was about 95 a month for my omnia which is the same plan as I would use for the incredible... if you have a friend or relative that just wants a basic phone do the family plan... 2 phones for 70 bucks with unlimited text.. add data for you for 30... 100 bucks for 2 phones... I have a plan with my mom and we both save...
I'm the primary account holder not her... I'm 29 but why waste money when you know you can save it...

that includes no text messages. why text when u can google voice.

Its going to be around 95 dollers a month for the 400 minute plan + unlimited data and unlimited text both.. I also used to have TMobile and a rooted G1 and i paid 75 a month after tax for that thing but i had callertunes and all that extra crap thrown in as well
I also dropped Tmobile and went to verizon for many reasons 1 being they have the incredible which i got like 3 days after it came out and 2 the service in my area is bulletproof with verizon and tmobile sucks
Also i work at bestbuy so i get 25% off my cellphone plan so im actually paying less per month then i did when i had tmobile as a regular customer

I agree, the Nexus One has the same specs (except camera I think) so it's fairly equal to the Incredible. It'll probably save you some time and hassle with switching carriers. I would only make the switch if your 3G coverage is terrible. Nothing wrong with the Incredible though I've got one and love it!

Unlimited data baby!!!!

whos with me ??
Just switched my plan over, 1 2 3
price stayed the same, now I can use 10-15-20 gbs a month! woot

So it stayed at 49.99 a month?

switched over yesterday and i'm spending $30 on the plan in addition to the talk and text i already have. saving $5/month now and i dont even use the wifi tethering

I'm on the value plan so im paying $5 less for going unlimited as opossed to my 5 Gigs of data

When I switched the tmo rep said the offer would only be available for a limited time, even when they discontinue the offer whoever got it will still be truly unlimited. I don't know if he was just trying to get me to upgrade the other lines though. Any who get it why it last!

Talking advantage now! Thanks! :victory:

I hate Telus. I pay 30 bucks for 6 gigs but they could care less if I tether. They even told me they have no way to check lol...I guess that's a plus. Besides I can't dent 6 gigs if I try...I live in so many wifi hotspots I never use data

I called twice to switch to their new really unlimited plan, and they both said "its the same as 5gb (the one I have), but without tethering. You'll pay $5 less, but you'll still get throttled at 5gb"
Obviously he had no idea what I was talking about. I want to switch and I can't do it from the 'my account' app. Any other way to switch? Will I have to go to the store :banghead: ?
Also, did you notice any changes in speed after switching? (even though I think you have to wait for your current data cycle to end to see the changes)

I had a grandfathered in data plan so all of my lines are 20$ a month for 5g throttle .. But I hit that **** every month :thumbdown:
So I switched my line to the unlimited today and yeah it 10 bones more but damn its going to be nice..!!
And i was tethered to my laptop for a good 30 minutes no problems ..

I was on the 5G and the rep told me that this data plan would cost me $20.. but then again that was the four rep i talked to cause none of them knows a thing

It's $20 bucks for value plans, and $30 for Classic plans. I'm on value plan so I was paying $10 for 2g so now I'm paying $10 more for unlimited. I think its a pretty sweet deal

Is Tmobile Sim only plans month by month or long term?

Hi everyone.
I'm getting the Nexus 4 launch day, but I don't have Tmobile nor do I know how it even works.. I'm looking to do a sim only plan since I will buy the phone from the play store.
So my question is.. Are the plans monthly? or long term? If so, what's the cheapest plan with data and unlimited texting? I don't need a lot of minutes. I've looked at the Tmobile site, but to be honest its kind of confusing..
also would it be worth it to upgrade to nationwide 4g? I'm currently at UCF so if anyone knows that would be awesome!
Thank you in advance!

its monthly with $30 per month with unlimited web/data(capped at 5gb)

One of their Monthly 4G plan for $30 (they have two plans for $30) comes with "Unlimited" Data 5Gb 4G, rest is miserably slow. unlimited texting and 100 minutes. I use it, If you don't use minutes that often it's great. I've only went over my 5Gb once, so unless you stream HD videos you should be fine. I listen to slacker almost everyday while i'm at work and have yet to go over.
It's only available if you order the Sim online and activate it on their website, or go to Wal-Mart.
As for the Sim-only plans, the Value Plans, I'm pretty sure they're contract plans. They don't advertise them as being pre-paid.
You just get a cheaper plan because you're not paying an extra $10 a month for getting a $400 for free or whatver.

this is my approach, just left verizon. I have the sim card waiting at home already, will go get a micro-sim on nov 13th, order the phone, wait and win. I utilize google voice, so voice/messaging doesn't matter to me and 5gb will not be "enough" but it'll be ok for the $30 a month

Is T-Mobile monthly 4g $70 plan unlimited now?

Today I was at a third party retailer they told me that T Mobile $70 dollar unlimited plan is truly unlimited but they cap the speed at 14.4mbps. Do anyone have this plan? Plus I have a couple pics!

I didn't know about the 14.4mbps speed limit, thank you very much for including that. But yes, it is unlimited which I don't think you can find on any other GSM carrier for a reasonable price (under $100). I was told by a T-mobile rep that I would be able to download 10gigs per day (or however much, used 10gb for example) 30 days a month. Talk about pioneering the industry! And if you don't use many minutes you can get the same plan with 500 minutes for $10 less. I hear an additional $5 less if you are affiliated with a business.

ol omsun
I had no idea if they capped speed. (Even though that capped speed is still pretty good enough for me)
Guess I gotta research this a little bit. I was planning to jump on this plan.

I believe you are talking about the postpaid plan. This is a monthly 4g plan (prepaid). But if this is true I plan on getting this plan.

Well on the t-mobile website, the $70 monthly prepaid has a cap for 5GB of 4G data.
I am getting confused >.>
Where'd you find it to be unlimited 4G data? Which 3rd party?

A better pic

To be honest I was on that 70.00 plan up until last friday and TRUST ME it will cap at 5gb. I was on the walmart special 30.00 monthly tmo 4g plan (100mins/unlimited text/5gb) but i kept running out of mins thats why the last month i decided to try out the 70.00 monthly unlimited plan. Only tmo truly unlimited contract plans come with no cap. To be honest being a full time student i couldnt afford 70 a month so i started shopping around for other prepaid offers....I recently switched to solavei which is a Tmobile mvno company (they work off tmo towers, same towers your phone is connected to right now) I signed up monday received my micro sim card weds and the service is amazing I get faster download speeds with them then the actual Tmobile Monthly 4g plan Ive been on for the last 18 months!!!!.....Im currently using the service with a samsung galaxy s3....its 49.00 a month unlimited talk text and 4gb of internet....you also get paid, every three people that sign on under you, you wlll get paid 20.00 every month that they are active, payout comes on a prepaid visa card solavei sends to you. I havent received mine yet since I just activated. my google+ profile gives more info since ive been telling everybody about it. let me know if you have any questions
here is my google+ profile if you wanna see the speed test I have done since being on Solavei https://plus.google.com/photos/104158389637045624794/albums/posts/5808785640460793522

How sure are you that Solavei pays you $20/month for every 3 referrals. I'm pretty sure it's a one-time payment of $20 per every 3 referrals.

Even if they do cap it to 14.4mbps that is still plenty of speed to do anything on a phone.. You're really complaining about those speeds?? Where I live I'm lucky if I hit 100kbps as I'm on EDGE all the time. Be happy with your "4G"

I've done alot of research on it before I switched over and talked to people that have been doing it.....it is every month. Every 3 people is 20.00 a month and if they add 3 ppl you are also paid 20.00/month. I just received my Solavei prepaid visa card in the mail today. Link below gives you more details. I'm not sure where you're getting your info from but they clearly don't know what they are talking about.
http://www.solavei.com/how-it-works/compensation

I work for a T-Mobile corp Store and there is no speed cap on any of tmobiles plans only cap is how much data you get. The $70 M4G plan is unl talk and text and up to 5gb of data at as fast as your phone can go then it slows down to dial up or slower. Unl everything on a contract is $70 a month that is truly unl data no slow downs.

Considering you work where you do, can you answer me this? Does Tmo offer discounts to business owners? If so, what is the discount and can the discount apply to senior managers of the business?

It depends on the plan you get setup on but yes most if not all bus accounts gets more discounts then a personal account. You would have to call and talk to a bus rep and see what they can offer you. Most of the time it is on the plan only you still pay the same price on the phone that everyone else does. I am on vacation right now. Next time I work is Tuesday if you want to pm me some info on your bus I can pass it along when I work Tuesday.
