$10 web2go doesn't work on android (plz correct me if I'm wrong I tried everything to get it to work) I Cannot Afford the 30 dollar data plan for android.
I read on some forums there is a perffered internet plan that is 20 dollars and available to customers of over 2 years. When I called up t-mobile they stated there was no such thing and its only 30 bucks... is it possible to get it cheaper the 30 bucks or get web2go on my vibrant I really need this even if it isn't an unlimited plan.
Sorry if I am repeating this thread I don't know is I am posting in the correct category
SOLVED!!!
OH YES I JUST GOT THE 20$ PLAN!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS FORUM I DID IT EXACTLY LIKE THE SECOND POST SAID.
1.call 611 and say cancel services to the automated bot.
2.give the info needed to the bot
3.when the representetive will pick up tell them that you just got a new plan with the phone you have (i said vibrant) and tell them you are considering canceling your account because its way to expensive for you to pay 30$ even though i like the vibrant. Make excuses if they keep asking you questions but most likely the RP will say that they could offer you a discount and let you have it for 20$. AMAZING!

When you call, go to the retentions department, say "cancel account" on the automated system it will take you directly there, tell, don't ask the rep that you want the $20 web plan. If you're lucky he will be nice enough to give it to you based on your loyalty as a customer, if he doesn't give it to you try a different one.
I got the $20 plan for both my lines on the first try.
good luck

Call T-Mo (611) and ask for retentions or say you want to cancel your plan (which will take you to retentions). They are the only ones that can get you the $20 data plan (from what I've read).
Speak to someone in the contracts dept, not tech support. They will hook you right up.

I have 2 lines under the old android unlimited data/unlimited text for $34.99. Last time I talked to retention last week they said that was still the cheapest way to go .
My wife and I have been T-Mo customers for 8 years. I have a Vibrant, she has a Nexus. We called a couple of months ago, just to speak with retention about our data plans. They got us on the preferred data plan at $20 a line, unlimited family messaging for $9.99 and 600 shared anytime minutes. All total, $92.00. We obviously still get the free nights and weekends and mobile to mobile. $92.00 is not bad for two android phones with unlimited messaging and data. Most of the people we call are on T-Mo as well, so that works out too!
Call and talk to retention, no one in a retail store can do it for you.
I've been a T-Mo customer for 8 years, too. A couple years ago I was using their [email protected] service. They discontinued that service but called me up and offered me unlimited voice at the loyal customer rate instead. Last month I bought the Vibrant and they gave me the loyal customer data plan without even asking. I'm paying $75/mo for unlimited voice, unlimited data and 400 free TMs. I am a happy camper, and it has kept me from going to AT&T for an iPhone.
I wish I would have been able to get a better plan, instead I moved to EM+ and can't go back... =(

I'm paying $190 with taxes for 2 android phones with unlimted data,text and minutes.
I'm paying $65 a month for 1000 minutes, unlimited data, and no TMs ($40 for the 1000 minutes plan, +$25 for the unlimited android data add-on). Works fine for me, and I've got a GVoice number, with the GVoice app on my phone, so I can actually receive TMs through that number with the app.
Not sure when but TMobile will be rolling out new options and doing away with flex pay. Will still have same features SS flex pay but also offer cheaper data plans like at&t. Fight now you're stuck with $30 because you wanted the best phone. You want a cheaper data plan downgrade your phone or get rid of text to save and have your friends IM you or email.

I just left the store and they said on the 15th of nov that a 15 dollar 200mb plan would be available for most android devices. The 200mb acts differently for each account type. I have also seen this mentioned on several sites.

Just spoke to them yesterday, I was asking about canceling my upgrade. Rep quickly offered $20 data + $10 sms. Plus I kept the myFaves I had grandfathered. So my bill only went up $5. Not bad.

Our "after-tax" total is about $106 for 2 android phones with unlimited data, unlimited texts and 600 shared minutes, free nights and weekends, free mobile to mobile. We don't call a whole lot of numbers that aren't T-Mo, so we don't ever use all the minutes.
Our "Family-time" text package is grandfathered in from back in the day. Unlimited text, pic and voice messaging for ALL lines on our account - $9.99 total, regardless of number of lines.

nice, in all reality we don't use that many minutes, her more than I as I work from home and text all day. I have a land line and a company line I can also use also to make calls out. I need to double check but I thin I pay like $79 for unlimited minutes so the next plan down only saves me like $5 or $10 a month if I remember correctly.

Is that $65 after taxes? Also, is ti contract or not? I had just Unlimited Data last month hoping I could get SIP/VOIP working on my phone but I eventually decided to get minutes so I can use for work. They gave me 500 minutes and I was told my bill would be $65. If I can get a little more cheaper I would be happy.

You guys know T-Mobile employees troll all these popular forums. I'm not talking about store employees who are members here. I'm talking about executive services, people high up at T-mo troll the forums, especially during new phone release dates, and I'm sure the more people advertise how to call and "pretend" to cancel, is going to eventually hurt the real loyal customer who is honestly considering to cancel.
I've actually had a rep I started conversation with on the phone, admit they visit these forums and read what people write. Just saying, if we want loyalty to continue for real loyal customers. Those who pay on time every month, for years, then we shouldn't be posting how to trick T-Mo. At the end it hurts people who have been with T-Mo for several years as loyal faithful customers.
I was just checking up on Engadget and saw this article. Hope this was the small push you needed to get a G2
The cheapest before was $50 with contract but now it's Free!
http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/18/t-mobile-g2-now-free-on-contract-android-buyers-have-never-had/
Doesnt apply if you have a no contract plan (The extra line that is)
I had been using a myTouch Slide that was given to me way back in April...so my G1 contract obviously ran out a few months ago. The second I saw this promotion, I jumped on it. Couldn't be more stoked.
Just ordered one of these so expect me to start patrolling these forums in the next few day.( I'm not a noob though)

Please be aware that getting yourself into a contract causes you to end up with a service plan far in excess of your actual use, and NO OPTION TO CHANGE IT FOR THE DURATION. The result of this is that you end up spending THOUSANDS extra over the term of the contract than you would by just paying up full price for the phone in the beginning.
DON'T BE STUPID!!!! CONTRACTS ARE THE RAPE AND TORTURE OF PUPPIES!

How is it spending "thousands" more, if you already have a plan with the $20 preferred android plan for your existing phone?
If you change nothing on your plan when you take the free upgrade, in essence, the phone *IS* free, you just agree to keep service for 24 months, and if you hate the phone and or said service after 30 days, CANCEL, pay the $250 ETF and sell the phone and recoup your losses. I don't see how "Thousands" of extra dollars come into effect here when most people already have a plan they like with the $20 preferred data plan. I know my grandfathered plan with all the free features is much cheaper than ANYTHING a EM+ can EVER offer me.

Yes, wifi eats out of your bucket unless you have the free grandfathered [email protected] UMA plan on your line, then all wifi calls are free. If you have a EM/EM+ plan you can't get that feature added. Old plans still have a 50/50 shot of having a loyalty rep add the SOC.
Ok. Rep didn't know what she was talking about.

Woot recently switched from the nexus s back to g2 and I love it. Saved me $50! Now I save another $150? Man this is awesome! Time to spend the savings on accessories ie dock and larger batt.
Jumped on this when I got to work this morning. Upgrade was 50 bucks, but comes with 50 dollar mail in rebate. Signed new 2 year, but didn't change my plan from my original G1 plan + some discounts I have had.
I've been running Gingerbread on my HD2 but this free G2 has me interested. I've been lurking on the G2 forums trying to figure out the current state of G2 developement. Still not decided if I want to pull the trigger or not. I really love the form factor of my HD2.
just bit the bullet and got one. have a n1 with a g1 plan for a year now and didnt have to change my plan but i did anyway casue i want the 4G's. only a extra $5/mo for it. yes, extra 2 years but they are cheaper then the rest of the carriers, and i dont want to pay $500 for a phone again (got my n1 off cl for that price w/xtra battery). rather buy a HD projector. coming from legacy myfav5 300 anytime minute plan with android data/messaging unlimited plan to the Unlimited 4G for $20/mo and 1500 anytime and unlimited text for $60/mo. and no extra premium data charges. go magenta!

Um, you know that the G1 plan included HSPA+ and you are paying $5 extra for nothing, right?
Just to let yall know, if you are renewing your 2 year contract then you still have to pay $50 up front, you get back the $50 with a $50 mail in rebate which in time, makes it free. Oh and this offer is on the web only, not in stores.
I was going to get my G2 this weekend at the store because Friday is my payday but the offer ends on the 20th so I think I'll bite the bullet and order it tonight online and hope to receive it by Friday.

Just saw a commercial for 10 dollar 4g plan. Anyone know what that plan is? Is it a lower data cap or is it just a "free" sample kind of deal?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Its going to replace the current 15 dollar plan its 200 mb if you go over it .10 per mb with a 30 dollar overage cap. So if you used a ton you would end up paying 40 in total. So I would start with the unlimated for one month see how much you use. If under 200 mb just do the 10 I don't think its out yet though.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
its out but with 3000 min plan
On t-mobile, new customers receive the 10 dollar 200mb option. Existing customers must switch to the promo version if the even more plans (even if they are on an even more plan currently). This promo plan is the only version available to new customers.
For existing customers I call the 200mb feature the 15 dollar web because that is how much it costs if you don't change to the newer plans.
Switching to the 10 dollar web plans does extend the contract on ALL lines on your account but doesn't affect your upgrade dates.
The best plan in my opinion is the 4g do more 3000 min promo plan for 149.99. 3k minutes, unlimited text for the family, and unlimited 4g web for 2 phones. Additional lines are only 5 bucks to share minutes. I've been off since sunday but I'm pretty sure this 3k plan is still available. On this 3k promo plan unlimited 4g web is only 20 dollars per line including additional lines.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Also.. This 3k plan does require at least 2 phones to have unlimited data.
Also keep on mind.. This isn't very obvious to even sales reps.. But smartphones like the g2 and the mytouch 4g are considered premium smartphones so they do require the unlimited web in order to receive their rebates. The tag says data plan required but t-mobile's internal says that the unlimited feature is required for rebates. This can be very confusing because you are given the option of the 200mb feature on all phones.

I called today and switched two of our five lines to the $10/mo 200mb data plan- my G2 and my boyfriend's Vibrant. We don't live in or near a 4G area (or 3G or Edge for that matter) and since we're mostly on wifi, and don't use much cell data, it made sense and saves us $40/mo. If we do go over, its capped $-wise at what we were paying, so no big deal.
Our contract was not extended, and the rep was very helpful.

You must have already been on the promo version of the even more plan.. How long ago did you start the current plan that you are on? The 10 dollar feature is not offered I the system to previous plans.

The $5 add a line ended on Tuesday....its back to $10 add a line now. The 4G 3k plan is still up and running though.
Feel free to do whatever you want. My advice is stick with the unlimited data plan. The first time you go over your gonna be really really sorry.

we have 5 lines, 750 min even more plan, $15 unlim family texting, unlim data on one line, 200mb on three lines (now) and no data on the last line, family allowances and insurance on three lines.
I plead the case that we don't get 4G or even 3G where we live and use wifi most of the time, which the rep could see from past billing cycles, and it was rather unfair for us to have to pay for something that TMo cannot provide, and that we do not/can not use.
she made the change retro to the beginning of this current billing cycle and was very nice about it.
like I explained before, we have been paying for unlim data on the two lines that were changed, so saving money is a bonus. if we go over, it won't be by much, so no matter what, the bill will always be less than it used to be.
These new plans are to get you off the unl everything and will end up costing you more in the end. Keep up with the two giants and you will see what tmo is doing. Its all compitition. Plans like these are the reason why at&t sit where they are. Number 1 wireless carrier. Vzw has been on at&t's ass for awhile now and with the iphone coming in? Customer base may increase significantly. Give tmo some cool phone and better data and they too can have a good customer base.

It's a referral plan, meaning it's for people that are currently NOT a Sprint customer and are being referred to Sprint by an employee. If you are currently a Sprint customer, you would have to cancel your current account and pay an ETF if you are still in contract.

Thanks...I'm "chatting" with spring right now. If you want to consider waiting five minutes between responses chatting. I'll post my results here to confirm.
I won't bore you with the useless information he gave me at the beginning:
Code:
15:37:50 : HIM: Is there anything else I may assist you with?
15:38:18 : ME: So what I'm getting is doing the ESRP creates an entirely different account
15:38:22 : ME: right?
15:39:41 : ME: sorry, EPRP
15:39:56 : HIM: Yes, you are correct.
15:40:13 : ME: so how could I, or would I, be able to get the remaining lines of my account onto it?
15:40:33 : ME: would there be an ETF or would a transfer of liability work?
15:40:53 : ME: this is provided I opened a new line also
15:43:26 : HIM: I am sorry the lines can not be transfer from the existing account to new referral account which you are going to open.
15:45:09 : ME: OK, just one more question then. So say, in the future, my contracts are expired. I have no obligation to Sprint. I open an EPRP providing the program is still around. Would I be able to open a new account with an old phone number?
15:46:31 : HIM: Ok, One moment.
15:50:36 : HIM: I am sorry you can not open the new account with the old phone number, however when you will open the new account the system will automatically generate the new phone number for you.
15:51:18 : ME: Ok, I guess that covers all of my questions. Thanks for dealing with me =).
15:51:36 : HIM: You are welcome.
I'm not completely satisfied with these answers; however, I was reading on the other forum of people getting a Transfer of Liability to work to get their lines over. I may just stop by the Sprint Store on my way home from work tomorrow.
Good luck with that! I am sure you could find someone that would do it for you if you talk to the right person. It saved us a lot of money, and made it very worth it to switch to from verizon.
From my experience, I signed up fro SERO about 3 years ago, when the plans were basically unlimited except for the 500 anytime minutes and it was $30 a month. I was already Sprint customer, out of contract. In order to get a SERO account, I had to open up a brand new line, I was not able to transfer my old number over either. So I got a new line, new number, and just closed my old account. Been happy with it ever since. When the EVO came out, I had to upgrade my plan to an EREP plan, which increased it almost double. Thankfully, a couple months ago, they came out with a SERO Premium plan that would work with the Android phones and it was only $40 a month (plus $10 premium data charge). It was only available if you previously had one of the old $30 SERO plans. Well, that's my story.

Yea I'm also on the sero premium. I will never switch to another carrier as long as I have my sero premium. and i'm surprised people didn't know about the new sero aka eprp. I was expecting the op to get flamed for old news. lol.
I've been on sero for years now, and it's pretty great. The only thing that drives me nuts now is that virgin mobile is an even better deal than sero, without a contact.
Existing customers can't switch. I've put my info all over these boards for new customers to use.

Ahh I was hoping existing customers could switch.

actually there is a way to get around the ETF/etc..
go to the site & apply for a new line undere the everything plus plan (make sure to pick a free phone unless you wanna pay out of the pocket).
after the order is approved/goes through, call customer service & have them pull your existing line(s) under the new everything plus account you just started...
now you have 30 days to decide if you want to keep this extra line you just purchased. if you decide to cancel like i did, your remaining lines will still be on the everything plus plan.
one word of warning, i will be losing my premier gold status as of april 01 due to this move. despite my previous lines being open with sprint for 10+ years, the new everything plus account basically starts new so they will only recognize my time w/sprint as being since i moved my lines over to the new account. (they do acknowledge the fact that they see in their system the same line/number has been open for 10+ years, but i haven't found a rep yet who will mark it on my "new" account)..
i generally prefer to stay out of contract anyway so it's not a huge deal to me.
Another point to note. From my experience, they will not let you apply any kind of company or student discounts on top of EPRP. In my case, it turns out to be cheaper to get the normal plan with the company discount.

This is correct.
Found this on slickdeals. Anyone heard of this before?
All new activations and add a line with 2 year contract on T-Mobile.
• 10% on qualifying monthly recurring charges
• Waived Activation Fees ($35 savings per line)
• Free 2 Day Shipping
• FREE and/or Discount Devices with new activation
Call 866-464-8662 option 3 and give promo code 13997 TMOFAV. Say you are a member of student rate if they ask
Can you apply this deal to a family plan or only one line?
is there a promo code I can use instead of calling?
your best bet is to call. you MUST state that you are a member of Student Rate in order to get these discounts.

also!! here is the phone number: 866.464.8662
and hit option 3 - - use promo code 13997TMOFAV
my stepfather just used the code, so I know it works.
ugh ok i guess i will have to call.
thanks though!!
They asked which school i go to. I blanked lol
sent from my Sensation on CM7 Alpha#10
lol you don't have to mention a school.
instead of a school you need to mention that you're getting a promo via student rate.
i decided to call and it was just above all easier to activate and receive my discounts over the phone.
i was also able to confirm that i was getting a discounted phone as well as a discounted monthly bill.
your best bet is to just call instead of trying to obtain the discounts online.
this is an awesome promo for the fact that you can apply the discount over the phone.
more deals should be put out this way so people feel more comfortable.
there might be a limitation on the number of lines you can apply the discount to, but i know you can.
Please don't use T-Mobile. 5 months of living hell with T-Mo for me. they broke my contract many times
Yea? Ive been with tmo since 2004. They have been great.

I don't know if that's the discount I got but I combined two accounts into a family plan and got a free GS2 for the line I merged into my account. It wasn't due for an upgrade for 6 months. I also got a discounted family rate. I pay $120 for my account. 1000 anytime shared + $20 Android 5gb per line and unlimited texting = $120
Great deal. Gave my Sensation to my wife and got the GS2. Took a few phone calls and I was ready to move to Sprint but I finally got a Loyalty supervisor who earned my business. My bill still says I owe $600+ since they haven't removed the phone charge yet. If you can handle the bull**** TMo is the best.
Thats about what i pay. $125. That includes $15 per line for a g2x and sensation. $30 of which is phone payments

Are you on that new unsubsidized phone - lower monthly rate plan? $95 a month is pretty nice. After insurance and tax I'm up at $130 and change. Better than the appx $160 I was paying separately.
Well i have a sensation mine, g2x is the girls. We both financed the phones so thats $15 a month per phone. She gets 2gb of data for $10. I get 5gb for $25. 1000 whenever shared and unlimited txting. Its $125 and some change but after the phones are paid off our bill will be really cheap. Its a good plan in my opinion. Service is great ect ect

I was with them for 7 years. Added a line, they took away my Fave5s, gave me Truly Unlim on all 3 lines, but on the one that talked the most on the phone... they only had 500 mins and we were still charged the quoted $170 + fees for the overage on minutes. Then we called, complained, they said it was fixed and apologized. Okay, next bill, it's even MORE expensive! We call, complain, rinse, repeat, and since they had broken our contract, we called, asked for waived etfs... 2 months later, a letter came in the mail and basically said "We don't feel we did any wrong, so you have to pay the $600 in ETFs." I was really furious at this point. Basically I lost over $1000 to this company.
Wow. Thats ridic. Ive never ever been overcharged with tmobile. They have been nothing but perfect.

I wouldn't settle for that $1k. Take them to small claims court.
I've had tons of bs with T-Mo in regard to billing. Take this month. My bill is $675. They still charged me for the free phone. Supposedly that was to be taken off on Feb 6th. Nobody told me that until I called wondering why my bill was wrong again. In the past year my bill has been wrong 9 months. When I bought my Sensation they screwed up the payments every month for 6 months in a row. Every month my bill was $400 and change and I had to call up and go through bs for 30 minutes to an hour.
And see this is why I probably will just move to Sprint. Tmobile is totally inept. It's now the 8th and nobody has fixed my bill. I call up and the moron on the phone can't even read the notes. I tell her the relevant dates. She puts me on hold and comes back and says it doesn't say anywhere that the phone was free and that they can't remove the charge. These ****ing idiots make me sick. I'm right to the point where I would pay more to get better service. I won't pay a cent to cancel this contract either. I will gladly sue them in small claims court for fraud. smh
Of course all departments shut down their lines before she transferred me to cancellations.
I hate these people. Now for 30 more stories from 30 different morons at Tmo. I will record my calls and just sue them. It will probably be less time suing them in small claims court than trying to find a person with a living brain cell in their call center. Pathetic.
