Will this work like the Nexus One on a tmobile internet for $10 if I bought a unlocked version? Like if I can change the mms settings..
If you try the the cheaper data plans not meant for smartphones for an unlocked Nexus S, please write here to tell us how it goes and if it works or not.. Thanks!!
We'll find out on thursday.
My wife called T-mobile last week and they said they discontinued the "smartphone/non-smartphone" unlimited web distinction. They said basically, if you use less than 200 mb/month, you pay $10/mo, if you regularly go over 200mb, you pay $30

Alot of people are grandfathered in.
I have the $5.99 T-Zones plan. Hope this works. Seems like non branded android phones are the only ones to work on these legacy plans

I have a Nexus One and I switched to the Unlimted web for phones for 10 dollars a month just before they took away the subscription, but my phone keeps reverting back to the damn 30 dollar plan?
How do you stop that?

T-mobile should not force you onto the $30 plan, they may block you on the EPC APN, but if you switch to internet2.voicestream.com it should work on $10

Das-mobile is correct but then mms is messed up and you somehow need to add two apn's which someone will help if it works.

I was a new customer last month when I got my MT4G and I asked customer care nicely and they switched me to the $20 unlimited data on both my lines.
I am just curious: How expensive are flatrates in the US?
And how expensive are prepaid-data-flats?

thats different, the old plan was $20 for unlimited text and internet
Im sure it will work... I don't see why not.
FWIW, I just checked on my nexus s, and the 5.99 tzones plan is working for internet access just like it did on the nexus one...so I think the $10 internet plan should work too.
Just make sure you buy the full price phone...or else they will require you to pick up a more expensive web plan.

Yeah, on phones that are tmobile branded, like the vibrant or the G2...you're going to have that problem.
i also posted this in the epic forum, but since im sure a lot of you dont frequent it, i thought id post it here too. flame on!
title says it all. the admin fee is going from .99 cents per line to 1.50 per line.
all you have to do is call and (2 options) 1.) cancel and move on to a different company with no early termination fee, or 2.) try getting out of the contract and go month to month so you have more leverage to bargain for a better phone in a few months as you are now out of contract.
this is the notice that should be included in your next bill

Administrative Charge Increase &Terms & Conditions Changes for Consumers
Effective 9/9/11, the Administrative Chargewill increase to $1.50 per line for customersthat receive the charge. For details, visitsprint.com/taxesandfees. In addition, theSprint consumer Terms (Ts&Cs) are changing. Please review them carefully at your local Sprint store or sprint.com/termsandconditions

And per their terms and conditions.....
THIS LINK NO LONGER GOES TO THE OLD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
THIS LINK IS NOW GOES TO THE NEW TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
http://shop2.sprint.com/en/legal/legal_terms_privacy_popup.shtml?ECID=vanity:termsandconditions
YOU CAN FIND AN OLDER COPY OF THE CONTRACT BY COPY AND PASTING THE ADDRESS ON ARCHIVE.ORG
if you do want to cancel but want to save your phone number, try going about getting month to month, then porting out your number to a prepaid or gv, then wait 30 days, and port your number back to sprint getting new customer pricing on phones. (perhaps 3vo, sgs2 or photon for 99 bucks.)
For those of you who are considering doing the port out/ port in method you can port your number to Google Voice for free since Sprint and GV are partnered up (Thanks nkdumb24 from slickdeals.net )
personally, i wont be jacking with this. i already have upgrades available on 3 of my 4 lines and i like the prices. just sharing with the community.
Has anyone done/tried this and been successful? I know talk like this went around with some change Verizon did a.couple of months ago and they lowered another charge to keep the bill the same so people couldn't do this. I guess if someone has done this what did you say and what did you get?

I'm interested in getting out of the contract, let me know if it works if anyone else tries it...
I didn't read thru all of this but I cancelled my contract only after 4 months..not because I was unhappy but I flashed my nexus to boost to save money. I was ready to pay the ETF but when I got off the phone with the woman at Sprint she said I had a hundred and some odd dollars credit..I had know idea what she was talking about but I kept quiet. When I got my final bill it was nine dollars and some change..and thats the last bill I got! I have know idea what the credit was.
Edit..I original had purchased an Evo on the account..dont know if that matters.

This isnt really cancelling JUST because of the price increase. This is just a way for people who wanted to get out of their contract without paying the etf, since the contract changed.

ok ill give u this one , i just checked my data usage . i only use like 1 gig so a data cap not a big deal to me, my wife how ever uses like 5 gigs on average with her damn spotify.
1-300 sounds terrible. Have you tried the data fixes on xda? I'd link but on the cell at the moment. I get ~500 KB/s on 1-2 bars of 4G. Anything over that is above 800. Try searching for those fixes, they helped me a lot.

When you have 4g it's a roughly 10x difference if not more. I average 7.5-9.3mb/s :3
Oh, when I first rooted my brothers phone he had bad download speeds compared to me (same ROM and kernel), but after the fixes he is comparable

Found this over at fatwallet.com (http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/1136530/)
Here is what is posted there:
The service will require a special Android-based phone. Calls and SMSs will be routed via VOIP when on wifi and via cell towers otherwise.

Summery:
The phone will primary use wifi for voice and texting and if no wifi is within range it will jump over to the Sprint network for voice, texting, and 3g data (no data cap). I guess you will need a CDMA android phone. Not sure yet if you have to buy a special phone from them but I'm sure someone will come up with a rom to flash to a Sprint android phone.
If this is all true it would be great to have one phone number, text, and unlimited data for only $19 with VoIP! I'll sell my G2x and find a phone that will work on this in a heart beat.
Let me know your thoughts.
I think I'm going to get one. If the phone if just an LG Optimus maybe someone can help me dump the ROM and flash it to a normal Sprint Optimus so you don't have to buy there phone.
From what I've read, you need a phone with special hardware sold by Republic, and judging from the picture on the website, it's probably going to be the LG Optimus S/V.
If it pans out and works like they say it will, I'd considering switching from Virgin Mobile. I'm already using the Optimus V, so it wouldn't be that much of a change for me.
I wonder how much they are going to charge for the phone?

from there website:
How much cellular usage is too much?
It depends. Even assuming 0% wifi usage, for example, you could consume 550 minutes, send 150 texts, and download 300 megabytes of data without crossing the community’s fair use threshold. Everyone's usage patterns will be different, but we're confident you’ll be amazed at how little cellular you actually use when you have a phone that makes it easy to leverage the power of your Wi-Fi networks.

The pay as you go plan is 50 cents/day for unlimited web, only on the days you use it. It's 20 cents per minute for voice calls, but if you froze the dialer (or never used it) and didn't give out the Boost number, voice would never get used.
Since GrooVeIP will work over 3G or Wifi, your max cost per month (after phone and GrooVeIP) would be $15.50.

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!

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)

Prepaid customers get treated like second class citizens. When I went to go buy my note I was told it cost $769 with tax. I was like don't it retail for $749? They said that's post paid. Whatever. I asked if there were any promotional discount or rebates. The said there's a $50 rebate on accessories. So I asked if I bought a $40 case, I'd get $10 off my phone? Nope. Postpaid only.

Prepaid customers get treated like second class citizens because prepaid plans aren't where the revenue is generated. If prepaid guys aren't ready to commit to the company, the company can't be committed to them. I'm on the $30 plan, I know this update doesn't affect me, I know this sucks, but it makes business sense.

Be wary of any new plans that come out, on any carrier. Newer doesn't always mean better. In fact, most of the time, it means quiet the opposite.
