Hello all,
I just had an interesting conversation with a rep @ O2 UK.
I just got a bit keen and started calling SP's (3 T-mob and O2) about Data services that they offer.
I currently have a HTC advantage (ameo) on T-mobile web and walk which costs me £32.50 a month for a piddly amount of texts and mins and Data capped at 1GB "fair usage" they say, no skype, no streaming, no USB.
(not that I give a **** I listen to radio ABF many days a week through 3g
This isnt their premiere uncapped data service, that costs double or triple what I pay.
Well I called 3 and I got an annoying sales rep on the phone, he told me that I can't buy a sim on its own from 3!
Then I said ok Ill get a free phone from you just give me flat data and he reeled off reasons why it wouldnt work and if it did I would be tied to only visiting certain sites.....
The networked which names its self "3" as in 3rd gen communications wont give me 3rd gen communications.
Ok I thought, I call everyone else.
O2 just happened to be first on my list.
I told the sales guy my deal on T-mobile and I said I wanted to get an Uncapped data plan for as cheap as possible.
Well he told me that on the 28 September 2007 a new UNLIMITED data plan will be available for all contracts for!!!!! £7.50
Thats what we pay for 1 GB on T-mob.
If you add this to the £15 a month SIM ONLY contract they have which gives 200 UK mins and 400 text's thats £22.50 a month for calls texts and UNLIMITED DATA>
Looks like I will be paying them my hard earned money instead of T-mobile.
Sorry if this has been reported before (and I missed it)
Have a good day all
iPhone Users Get Their Butts Kissed
Well so far it sesm that O2 will be kissing the butt of iPhone customers.
According to the O2 site, their will indeed be unlimited data for the iPhone on all tariff options of the iPhone, however strangely the price of the actual handset doesn't scale down as you increase the tariff.
There is currently no mention of the unlimited data plan being available to customers on other packages with other model handsets, although having read something on the 3G forum, a user their posted a link to this topic on another site:
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=154284
Whilst it is not unlimited as with the iPhone its certainly a step in the right direction if the information is correct. A read from another site that O2 will again ammend their data tariffs in Q1/Q2 of 2008 to make them match those of T-Mobile which would be excellent, although I'm sure existing customers won't be privy to the new rates until renewal time.
O2 will have brought these new rates in just in time to save my custom if the information is correct, althogh I have sent an email to O2 this evening moaning, saying along the lines of I think that O2 are too interested in making money than providing customers with good handsets, because the HTC Kaiser eats the iPhone for breakfast, however because of all the hype about the iPhone it will obviously sell better than a Kaiser would do, even though the features suck by comparison, and that I also think that it is very customer discrimination esk by providing iPhone customers with unlimited whilst everyone else suffers.
Let's she thier reply!!

You did better than me all I got out of them was that there was an unlimited plan due out on the 1st but no details available.
You can actually do better than this with T-Mobile. They have a £7.50 a month sim only plus £7.50 a month Web N Walk addon. So £15 a month.
But it is good news because I'm on the O2 Simplicity £15 a month contract so come 1/10 I'll be calling O2 to get the data added.
Thanks for the Yarod.
Lucky Europeans!
God, Europe gets all the good cell phone stuff. They get tons of phones sold to them unlocked, they get decent prepaid options, going with a SIM-only contract isn't uncommon, CDMA is non-existent, and unlimited data w/ 400 texts for £32.50 (Roughly $64.80, according to Google).
True, while Sprint's SERO plan is offering unlimited data and texts for $30/mo (roughly £15), it's CDMA, and Sprint has the worst customer service record I've ever heard of. The closest deal is T-Mobile's $20 data plan, with either a $30 calling plan (300 minutes) or 300 minutes and MyFaves ($40), which brings you to around $70 after taxes and fees ($80 if you want 1,000 text messages).
I almost wish I could buy an O2 SIM and use it here (without crippling fees and charges, that is).
Finally someone to match T-Mobile!
Competition is a good thing indeed.
So i've seen a few threads here saying that the new deal with media net unlimited package was 10 dollars a month now. Well i called today to get it and was told that not only was it for my fuze(i did the sim swap trick to make it seem we all had regular phones) but also the other two phones in my family, all three of us now have unlimited data for 10 dollars a month. This seems too good to be true. Did anyone else have a similar experience?

So your saying the Rep said that this applied for your fuze or did it apply to your fuze because it had another sim card?
Are you saying your paying $10 a month for all 3 phones... or $10 a month PER phone ($30).
I think I might jump on this. I have a Fuze and my fiance has her old blackjack. She has unlimited messaging for $20 and I have MediaNet Bundle (Unlimited Data, 200 SMS, Unlimited AT&T Messaging) for $25.
So we spend about $45 a month.
If we could get unlimited Family Messaging for $30, then both unlimited data for $10... that would be $50.
I'd pay $5 more so my fiance can get online.
I assume this is only for Family Plans
I used to do that. I worked at radioshack though, and our rep for ATT told us that he used to be a manager at an ATT store and would add the non-pda data plan to peoples accounts, and some would come back later with giant bills because they were revised and billed per byte.
He said it didn't happen a lot, and a lot of times ATT would be full of mercy and not charge the full amount, but he did tell me it occured.
I say be careful because you would be breaking the terms and conditions and they would have every right to charge you 3 cents/KB
has anyone on this forum been caught?
from my understanding it was 10 dollars total for all three lines(as in a total of 10 a month, not 30). I specifically said to the rep, "no no i don't want the family plan i only want it on the one line" to which he replied that it was a family bundle that i qualified for since i had a family unlimited texting plan. I didn't mention my fuze so i don't know what will happen, perhaps this month will have some ridiculous charges but i'll play ignorance and try to fight them. So we shall see. My online account has not updated yet so i have no way of knowing 100% what is going on but i'm rather curious.
also it's only 1c/KB not 3 for their standard charges.
I've been using the MediaNet plan on my Samsung Blackjack, Samsung Epix, and HTC Fuze for 3+ years.
Their expensive internet plans are stupid. When I bought my Epix... the sales guy said, "Since the Epix is a newer faster phone... it won't work with the Media Net plan because the MediaNet plan doesn't send the data packets fast enough and so it won't work".
I'm a Network Engineer. What kind of crap is that?
I popped in my old sim and started checking my email.
Unlimited Data = Unlimited Data.
Every time I call CS and they get me started on that crap I give them an earful. Plus data plans are outrageous. Why would anyone want to pay for a Data plan which is the same, if not more, then the data plans they have in their homes.
SMS is nothing more then free money for them and people don't use that much data. Unlimited Data and Messaging should be MAX $20.
AT&T over-chargingn for data
I see someone else shares my irritation (exasperation) with AT&T (and the other carriers, since they all charge about the same).
I pay $30.00 a month for DSl (3mb down, 768 up). Why or why should I pay the same for speeds that are less than half that on AT&T's network just because its mobile?
Yes I can check my mail (almost) anywhere but.....thirty bucks is ludicrous, I cancelled my data plan on my Kaiser and my wifes Blackberry because it wasn't worth the service. We were paying over $60.00 a month for unlimited data on two phones. (Everyone kick me me becaause I deserve it).
Now you are telling me you are getting it on two phone on the "family plan" for $10.00 a month ?
WoW !

Let me clear this up, I might be new to this forum but I am very familiar with AT&T rates and plans. Lets just say I use this information almost daily.
THIS APPLIES FOR STANDARD MOBILE DEVICES (NOT PDA/BLACKBERRY/iPHONE)
For Individual Lines (AT&T Nation)
-Data Unlimited (formerly known as 'MediaNet Unlimited')
cost $15 per phone.
-Unlimited Messaging (SMS+MMS+IM)
cost $20 per phone.
-Messaging & Data Unlimited (Data+SMS+MMS+IM)
costs $30 (save $5 from getting the two seperately)
For Family Plans (AT&T Family Share)
-Data Unlimited
cost $10 per line in the family plan (instead of $15 for individuals)
-Family Messaging Unlimited
cost $30 (one price covers every line on the plan)
THE FOLLOWING IS FOR PDA/BLACKBERRIES
For Individual Lines (AT&T Nation)
-PDA Personal or Blackberry Basic
cost $30 per phone.
-Unlimited Messaging (SMS+MMS+IM)
cost $20 per phone.
-PDA/BBRY Messaging Bundle
costs $50
For Family Plans (AT&T Family Share)
-PDA Personal / Blackberry Data
cost $30 per line
-Family Messaging Unlimited
cost $30 (one price covers every line on the plan)
During the sign-up process, the IMEI number of your device will be registered to your account. If the system detects the IMEI of a device that falls under the PDA or BLACKBERRY category, the Data Plans populate itself only to 'PDA Personal $30' or 'BBRY BIS Personal $30'. If an IMEI of a regular phone was entered, it will populate the options for 'Data Unlimited' for $15
When you purchase your PDA device like a Blackjack II, if you somehow manage to have an IMEI of a normal phone be entered instead of the Blackjack II, you will be billed the rates according to whatever type of phone that was entered. (This will not work with Blackberries because BBRY needs the BIS data and the PIN number to be registered.)
Also what might be possible is; get your devices and plans normally, like a Fuze with a $30 PDA Data plan, a month later, call customer service and tell them that youre switching to a different device that you bought yourself, and give them the new IMEI (imei should be from a non pda/bbry device), and have them change the data plan prices accordingly. Voila, you saved $15 dollars per month per phone.
Oh and if some of you were wondering, the carriers data service is just data, meaning it wont know the difference between data from a Sony Ericsson W350 to an HTC Fuze, or a Touch Pro, or a Touch Diamond, or Xperia, or Nokia N96, or iPhone knock-offs, etc. you get my point.

For me it says $15 a month for regular cell phones and $30 a month for pda's such as the fuze.
How many of you guys are doing the thing were you call up and add a regular phone as your phone and then select the $15 for data and then just switch your sim card into the fuze and still only pay $15 for data instead of $30? What would happen if att finds out?
Thanks.

Yes, I see that too, but if you look closer at the fine print for those top two items, it says they are only available to regular cell phone ie not the fuze.
i've been using this on my 8125 for a few years now i have the media net unlimited with 200 text messages for 20 a month.
i just did this recently for my wife when i added her on to my family plan she wanted a blackjack so i had her get a dumb phone first with the unlimited messaging and the 1500 text messages for 30 a month before the 30 days were up with the dumb phone i had her return it and ordered her a refrub'd blackjack off with the discount through my job
the medianet and the messing plan stuck and i just switched her from the unlimited net and 1500 text to unlimited net and unlimited text for 30 a month
so when and if i upgrade to a fuze any new att phone with a newer htc
just like the network guy said above DATA is DATA
i checked around I didn't see anything online about the unlimited data for 10 bucks a month anybody been able to enable this?

which is why you do the trick mentioned earlier and all over this forum so you can get it.
Confirmed in Chicago area!!
The catch is (as someone already mentioned) you have to put ALL THE PHONES from your Family Plan on the $10/mo. Unlim MediaNet Data Plan...and NONE of them can be PDA or iPhones. I'm saving $45/mo !!!
Hi there, I'm going away on my holidays to the states tomorrow - and I need a sim card for my Desire which has a cheap\included data plan on it so I don't get utterly ***** by vodafone for 3g roaming.
I was wondering if any yanks knew of any? I tried looking at the usual suspects, but they didn't mention data...
Thanks
MOD EDIT : PLEASE DO NOT USE SUCH LANGUAGE, IT CAN SEND YOU OFF TO A VACATION.
Hi,
I just ordered an AT&T prepaid SIM.
Data plan is 19.99$ for 100MB and 30 days.
See: http://www.usasims.com/
There might be other resellers in your country based on AT&T or T_Mobile.
e.g SIM-BEE in Germany
http://www.sim-bee.de/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=5
I think AT&T has the better coverage.
Joerg
PS: Watch Out not to choose a CDMA net if you are using a GSM net in your country!
Through Tmobile you can get
Unlimited Data(10GB) Only for $39.99 a month.
or a plan
mine is 500 anytime minute, free nights and weekends
Unlimited TXT
Unlimited DATA(10GB)
59.99 a month prepay.
From what were told here in the states ATT has removed all prepaid data plans. All they have for prepay now is 3 plans which all suck. If your gonna travel alot and need 3G on the interstates just go with ATT for a month and run the credit check for 10 minutes and get 1 month of service. Otherwise if your gonna be in major cities most of the time your here get tmo because its cheap, and unlimited data. Even ATT legacy unlimited DATA plans are limited at 2GB.
I don't know if things are different in EU but here in the states ATT won't sell a data plan alone unless its for an ipad with a microsim. I asked for something for my phone and they said they had nothing data only.
Just ran by ATT's site and there saying they have 4 prepay plans
1. $3 a day unlimited
2. $1 a day unlimited mobile to mobile.
3. $0.25 a min
4. $60 unlimited TXT and VOICE.
I recommend looking at what T-Mobile has to offer. Give them a call 1-800-t-mobile
They're very friendly
Well,
I bought my prepaid 2 days ago, and I was told, that there are prepaid data plans at AT&T.
See also here at AT&T and
http://www.usasims.com/ATT_SIM.html.
The first site also mentions, that there are no PREPAID data plans at T_Mobile.
I have to use AT&T, as I travelling around a lot. Can tell you more in about 10 days, when I will activate my SIM and add plans.

T-mobile has a contract free service called even more plus. For$59 you get 500 minutes, unlimited web, and unlimited text. Granted, the free texting will only be inside the united states and you will be callled extra if you call international. They have a $5 addon that gives you discounted calling to many countries, for example $0.06 to UK landlines. Or you could just set up google voice with your new US based number and used google's rates for international.
Depending on your device, you may not be able to use 3G on T-mobile.
For data on T-Mobile you would need the AWS 1700 MHz on your phone - i believe the G1 has it, but most phones don't. If you don't have that then you will only get dial-up or EDGE speeds.......Also those data plans are not mentioned on their website under prepaid.......I think that they are no contract post paid plans that you would need a Credit card and SS# for - But i don't know
Right now in Prepaid on GSM - you only have Simple mobile that is on the T-Mobile AWS 1700 MHz and AT&T which used to be unlimited for $20 until about a year ago when they changed it to 100 MB for $20
One of the things that people don't realize about data is, is you are not tethering or watching video than you really do not use that much data. email, google maps, ect.... use very very little data and 100MB for a month is more than enough

So you haven't activated your card yet? I think either you won't be able to get a data plan on ATT and that site is outdated, or its a special plan if your a vodofone customer or overseas customer? I went through hours of argueing with ATT for a decent prepay plan but I missed the cut off by 2 weeks. Tmobile does have prepay they just call it flexpay for some reason?
Also heres what your going to find from providers, ATT will have 3G coverage almost everywhere in the US, but its incredibly slow in major cities, near tmo's edge network. Tmo on the other hand only has 3G in major markets and has Edge in smaller cities and G in the middle of no where. But in the city their 3G speeds a blistering fast. In Tampa we would get board at work and have cellphone races. With an HD2 on Tmo I was the undefeated champ. So much faster the ATT guys all had to hook up to my phone via wifi so they could watch HD youtube. Otherwise ATT couldn't handle it and it would just buffer every 10 seconds. I can also stream netflix movies on my tmo 3G with no glitching at all. Entire movies on my laptop through my phone.
Hi,
just tried to order it again; incl. 100MB data plan
See:
AT&T/GoPhone SIM $15
- Arrival City and State, province Chicago
- Departure date from home country 08/20/2010
- ATT GoPhone Plan 30 days unlimited
- Increase account balance US$15, 30 days expiration
- Add DynaSky eCard 0
- Enable Data Plan $19.99/100MB Yes
So, I think, if I pay for it, I will get it.
Regarding T-Mobile: The plan mentioned in post #6 above includes a 35$ activation fee, which ends up in a 100$ fee for less than one month of vacation.
(And I'm not quite shure, if you really can cancel this contract after just one month)

Nah with Tmo you can buy a simcard off ebay for $5 and there is no activation fee. That so called activation fee is a scam by tmo stores to charge $20-$30 for a simcard. Tmo's prepay/flexpay is easily cut off after 1 month. Thats what its for. So you should easily be able to order a tmo sim on ebay for $5. Then call up tmobile and have them activate a flex account for $59.99+8.75 for tax. Your bill will be $68.74 a month plus the $5 for a sim card.

The way it reads this may be for overseas people only. Arrival city, departure date, etc.... ATT may have different plans for foreign people just visiting a month or two.
Hi all,
just want to let you know, that I'm in the US now.
Activted my GoPhone SIM and filled it up with 25$.
Then logged in at https://www.paygonline.com/websc/index.jsp (redirection fromm AT&T site) and had the option to add a data plan of 1MB or 100MB.
Works like a charm.
This ist the standard GoPhone Website, so I don't have any clue, why it should not work for others (even US citizens).

getting this for te rebate of course.
But I alway pay for unlimited text and web when I had my nexus. I heard they charge you again because of "4g" speeds right?
well if i sign this contract do I HAVE to get the data plan
you have to pay EXTRA for DATA if you are getting the 2yr contract price. normal plan about $30 to get your mail in rebate. on the $15 or old data plans, you cannot get the mail in rebate.
EDIT: Old web/ text plan 34.99
NEW 4g $30 just for web. 10-15 for text unless its "bundled"
I got an upgrade price but no rebate, and managed to keep my grandfathered $24.99 a month MyTouch unlimited web +400 texts plan. I was very specific that this is what I wanted and the sales rep in the store made it happen.
When I log onto the T-Mo site it still shows me with a MyTouch (been using an N1 for almost a year) and still shows me on the MyTouch data plan.
ETA: finally got a new SIM too, had been using the one that came with my WinMo Wing since 07...
i had unlimited web + unlimited msg, didnt change after upgrade with a new 2yr contract, still paying like a $30 for it, using a new sim i've got with the phone
Ok, because I pay 69.99 a month for unlimited web and data and I do not want that to go up. On the flipside, I want to get the phonefor a cheaper price than the 300 i paid
signing a new contract doesnt mean u need to change ur plan or services, u can stay with ur plan and services, even if they dont have it anymore, i still have some services / with my second phone/ which are not available now at same price like they were 6yr ago

I can say this, I purchased my G2x outright, no contract, and every time I try to access any web based services, I get denied. I get redirected to a web2go page that tells me I have upgrade my data plan. A note, if I'm on WiFi, I have no problems, this is only when it tries to connect through the TMo network. 2G, 3G or 4G, doesn't matter.
So a couple of weeks ago I set up a new account with Verizon Wireless for my fiance. Ordered her a HTC One and used my work discount to get it for her.
The plan was supposed to be 450 talk & unlimited text with 5GB data for $20, via the General Mills/Verizon discount page. Well I checked the account summary today and the plan showed 2GB of data on her plan, so I called customer service to inquire why it wasn't showing what I selected. Well the nice customer service lady looked it up and said I don't see the 5GB option let me check something and put me on hold.
Well when she came back she said they don't have the 5GB for $20 but our line was eligible for a SHARE EVERYTHING UNLIMITED DATA PACKAGE FOR $20! I told her to add it on and I was informed it could be made retroactive to the start of the billing cycle and would be available immediately and sure enough I hung up and checked the account summary again and bam UNLIMITED DATA on a brand new account.
How this slipped through is odd, as the unlimited data package was not available on the work intranet site, it showed a 5, 7, 10, & 15 GB data packages starting at $20 and going up to $70 for the 15GB package. But hey a big F You to verizon saying I got unlimited data and Ill use it how I want to is in order!
Verizon Unlimited Data
I saw this too when trying to add new line to my account. People should jump on this deal and get Unlimited Data for their new line. The more people involve into this, the harder it is for Verizon to break the transaction. I'm affraid if I'm the only isolated incident, Verizon will just blatantly refuse to honor this contract.
So every, Add a new line in Verizon Wireless and enjoy your data buffet!!!!
There will be many options, but choose "Unlimited email & web for smartphones - $29/month"
