My way of mobile data handling

I say keep the caps but offer an unlimited......
EX:
2gb $25
5gb $50
10gb $80
Unlimited $102 (BUT DO NOT THROTTLE!!!!)
Would that be suitable?

Unlimited shouldn't have trottling in the first place.

Imo (Throttle to Edge speed after limit)
500MB $10
2GB $20
5GB $40
10GB $65
Unlimited $95

That is my main problem with Tmobile, I have the unlimited plan but once I hit 5 gigs it becomes too slow to do anything

How slow does it get after passing the cap?

I'm on T-Mobile and you can actually get either a 200MB, 2GB, 5GB or 10GB plan. I have the 2GB one, as I have wifi access in the places I spend most of my time.

I think mobile devices will go the way of home communications/entertainment eventually - you will pay for the data plan and VOIP/Stream other services. $100/month for unlimited data + $50+ for phone its really getting high though

Le Sigh. Your right. I'm paying cable prices for something that I can carry around with me and get broadband speeds. I hope they just realize that data shouldn't be capped/throttled but Comcast hasn't been taught this lesson so I'm worried it won't sink in.

I have T-mo and when I reach the cap it goes to edge speeds for me.

What are edge speeds?
Like on Sprint 1xRTT is like 17KB/s (kilobytes)

Guys, capping is the goal, not the means. The whole idea is to annoy you into getting a more expensive contract and then only using a small part of it.
They fiddle with the limits until the most people switch up and they make the largest profit.
Anyway, paying per used amount is like going back to the days of WAP.
If only someone started a worldwide data-only network, sigh...

6gb was 30 dollars a month on rogers months ago...

Edge are AT&T 2G speeds...it is pretty miserable. I have the unlimited plan (throttled after 5GB). I am actually thinking of cutting down my data plan though, I have never gone over 1GB per month. Cell phones aren't allowed where I work and I keep wi-fi on whenever I am home and wherever I can have it on when I am out and about.

EVO - Lack of 4G Coverage / Switching to Verizon & Unlimited data!

Ok so I had an Evo I was excited with the 4G I liked it for a while, but then after a 1 1/2 years the thing started to flake out. Well with my phone flaking out, and very limited 4G coverage I made the switch to Verizon. With one problem, what about unlimited data? I had to have unlimited data. So this is how I got unlimited data! Which wasn't being offered anymore.
Well thanks to XDA I found a super sweet hook up. This guy named VIP Nick got me Unlimited Data on my Verizon account for $30 a month, even though it's not offered anymore! He's one of very few in the country that can hookup accounts with unlimited data. Because he mainly works with Business accounts, and VIP accounts. Though he'll work with individual and family plan accounts too. Which I like because Verizon has a lot better 4G Coverage!
So I thought I'd spread the word to the XDA community if your looking to make the switch and want a new phone and get Unlimited Data email him at
Verizon.Unlimited.data @ g m a i l . c o m
subject - Unlimited Data XDA
I am Very Happy Now!
ThankYOU XDA! I love this site.

Yes it said unlimited data but eventually you get to the data caps and slow your speed.

Beware unintended consequences...

I told My Coworker about this, as he recently switched to VZW when amazon was giving phones away for a penny, He got a phone call like 10 minutes after sending him an Email and will have unlimited data on his and his wifes phone in the next day or two.

No this guy is legit. His company has an exclusive contract with Verizon. I've talked with Verizon's business department and confirmed it. Everything is good with this hook up! He's hooked up several of my friends too, very professional!

P.S Verizon doesn't throttle speeds it's rumor... Very rarely only in extremely high trafficked area's like the super bowl etc.. I've used 60 gig this past month ran a bit torrent non stop and no throttling, sure a few fluctuations but still very fast.

I cannot beleive this without proof or evidence. Your just trying to lure people in to make commusion.

With free wifi calling that is definitely doable. I mostly text, unless its work related. I have wifi everywhere I go basically. So this seems pretty awesome.

can you explain?
I've wanted to try this plan but I've heard theres a lot of BS that comes with it. like one person being charged $90 to cancel the plan because its not an actual monthly/prepaid plan.
also i dont know anybody with tmobile service in my area. so im unsure as far as reception goes in certain locations.

No such plan. The only $30 plan is 100 minutes, unlimited text, and 5gb data.
Monthly4G plans don't have "free" Wi-Fi calling. Sure, you can use the feature but you'll still be dipping into those minutes.
I would know about this because I've been using this plan for a little over two months now.

But can't you only use one phone with this? I think I read somewhere that you can't just pop your SIM card from one phone into another like AT&T and T-Mobile. Anybody know for sure if that's true?

Look at hofo they have lots of threads about it.

I'm with Simple Mobile now. I can tell you that the Data on their $40/month plan is HORRIBLE. It is throttled to 150Kbps, which is damn near dialup speeds. I wound up just getting the $60/month plan with high speed data and all is well.

If you had the $10 Android plan that they gave out to preferred customers, you'd have a $20 price increase..
But those of us who were unable to get the $10 deal.. 2gb was previous $20.
Considering 5gb was $35, I'd say $30 for completely unlimited is a damn good deal, lol
