T-Mobile USA Android Preferred Data Plan ($20/month 5Gb soft cap) - HTC Sensation

We've talked about it in the past, but I thought I would bring this topic back up for my fellow Sensation owners on TMOUS. T-Mobile still has in their system their old "Android Preferred Data Plan". It costs $20 a month and has a 5 Gb soft cap. They give it to loyal T-Mobile customers, but only if you ask. I think they even do it for some newer subscribers. Never hurts to try. Just call up customer service and ask for retentions. Politely ask about the Android Preferred Data Plan and if they can apply it to your account. They have the power and can easily do it.
-Edit-
I removed information about the soft cap being ignored as it seems T-Mobile has been busy and enforcing the caps now.

Ok well I just did it took me less that 5 mins thanks.

Yeah that's what I have. $20 Unlimited.

Is this a 4G plan?
If I remember correctly, I was payin about 20 (19.99) for my data but was asked to upgrade with sensation so I can get 4G speed.
Thx for the info OP

Yeah it's 4g as long as your area has it. All their Android data plans work at any speed. The plan does NOT determine the speed, only your location and device.
-Edit-
Customer service reps that refer to "4g plans" don't know what they are talking about. Same if they tell you you need a "3g SIM". The SIM nor the plan have anything to do with the actual speeds we see. I'm still using my old "2g" SIM and I get 4-7Mbps regular speeds.

I have it. However, I just activated a third line for my Sensation. They would not apply it to that line... Only for my first two lines (which I've had FOREVER) they gave it to me....when the girl applied it though only my primary line kept the 5GB cap. My second line got downgraded to 2GB. I had to call back and get it fixed. Also, I did receive a throttling message (on my Nexus S) but DID NOT see a change in speeds.....

I wonder if I have unlimited data.... I have an even more plan with unlimited 4g speeds. I have received the 5gb cap but never noticed the speeds.

My plan is data and text (400 texts/mo) for 24.99/mo and no soft cap. I had to get a senior rep/coach on the line to approve the price and package the first week when I bought the Sensation.
But this is a great alternative! Thanks for the heads up!

Just called and they said they couldn't do it
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

Thanks buddy, I just called and they changed my 2GB data plan to the Android preferred data plan

I just got it, but I had to renew a two year contract with my number.

I have the MyTouch Unlimited web from back when I got the MyTouch 3G. I wonder if that is soft capped.

No it isn't either. I used to have that plan and recently switched all three of my lines to the Preferred plan. I never got throttled and always got the warnings.

Here are three pics. First one shows my warning text and account usage. Second my account warning. Third my speedtest results. I have this thread in one browser and my T-Mobile account in the second browser in the background. I've been going over 5 Gb for a long time now and never see any change in my speeds.

Just tried. They said I already had it. I do get capped though. She said she all data plans are the same in regards to android data. Just started in June though

Talked to another lady. Said they didn't offer it anymore. Darn. Guess I'll have to chill on my 5gb data usage.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

op, are you sure about the plan not having a soft cap?
I was under the impression the preferred android unlimited plan was always capped at 5gb... it's a soft cap mind you so sometimes if you go over you won't get throttled.
either way, still a great plan.
I love this plan very much and it's one of the main reasons why I'm still with Tmo.

anyone saying they dont offer it is a liar or doesnt know what they are talking about
you may have to call back until you find someone who can help you
may not be available for newer accounts

Throttled/shortest rant ever

No one in my life cares except for my XDA family..
I just got the dreaded text from t-mo and was immediately throttled to .006mbps. Seriously, FML. I have like 20 days left in my cycle. ARRRRGGHHHH
I even was desperate enough to try the (now defunct) alternative APN internet1.voicestream.com. I even tried internets 2 and 3!!!
God forbid I run into any feral cats on my walk home, because I am going to punt something and I prefer pine cones, but homeless cats fly further.
Happened to me last month. It sucks balls bug time. Sorry dude, calling tmo wont help either trust me....

The way to get around data throttling is to have a friend that works at TMO and use their unused $5 employee data only plan. I now effectively have 5 more GB on a spare SIM card. Once I get throttled on my MT4G I start tethering on my MT3G.

Your only 4 hours from TMO 's headquarters. Take a road trip, find a bar close to HQ, and find a group of ppl w TMO phones.

Are there any ways to work around the data cap/throttle?

Just wondering if anyone can help me out with any tweaks to beat this damn 60kbps throttle from tmobile. I have tried the patch that was created for the froyo roms but it didn't work for me. Any information would be greatly appreciated please PM me. Its best the information isn't posted publicly due to the brown nosing tmobile turds that troll these forums. Thanks in advance.

There is no way around the cap. It is done of T-Mobiles servers and linked to your SIM card. Many people have tried to get around it without any luck.

I can dig what you're saying but I'd like to think of it as being resourceful rather than cheap. After all it is android, several exploits and loopholes exist for other devices already. Ill keep fishing and maybe I can figure it out. Maybe IP/MAC spoofing would work to avoid the asshats at T-Mobile.

thats what i did lol theres your throttle fix.
It's not a work-around to the T-Mobile cap exactly. But by fine tuning when and how your installed apps use data, can keep you under the cap. For example instead of streaming podcast with Mediafly I installed DogCatcher. I set the download permissions for the application to only update when connected to WiFi and plugged in.
That alone has cut my data usage in half. Fine tuning other settings in apps like email, facebook and twitter have also cut down my data usage. I went from always bumping the data cap to moving to the next lowest data rate plan.
Something to consider!

im not being cheap at all!! but is it possible i can up to the 10GB/ month? i just started a 2 yr contract 2 months ago and i get capped everymonth so far to 56k speeds...i pay 100 dollars a month and i think thats alot already! thats no fun when i dont get access to wifi everywhete like most of you.
If you change your phone number & get a new SIM chip it resets yer data usage. Setup google voice, get 5GIG plan - wait 2 weeks & spend $15 to have phone number changed and get another 5Gig. Two more weeks, billing cycle starts over, another 5GIG. Wait 2 more weeks and change phone number again - 5 more gig. Repeat every month. If you use google voice then everyone will still have your phone number. I think to get the 10gig plan it's 30 bucks so this saves you 15 bucks a month. Of course its also a huge pain in the ass for 15 bucks.
Lol that's actually pretty damn clever. A huge undertaking, but still clever. Well done.

Sprint is unlimited and true they don't throttle - HOWEVER what they do is kick you off the network and cancel your contract if you use "too much" data. Happened to me a year or two ago.

FML .
The question I have, though, is if using a non-AT&T radio could stop the ability to be throttled. Anyone care to chime in?
The throttling isn't done on the device, it's done on their end.

The top 5% feel the pain it looks like. I suppose if you are using 10+ gigs a month I am not sure I feel for ya. Personally I have never gone over 5 but I also have internet service at Home.
Here come the "I pay for unlimited" posts.
If it doesn't affect me I don't care. I use maybe 3 gigs a month..
If it adversely affects me then It will give me reasons to look else where when I get to re-up again.
Anyone know if this is enough of a change to the plan you signed up for to allow canceling the account?

I read on a post yesterday (can't find it now) that the expected threshold for throttling will be somewhere in the vicinity of 50gb a month. In my mind, reasonable.

So unlimited really isn't unlimited is that what your saying? I just signed up with sprint 2 weeks ago and I am up to 12 gig as of tonight so I guess I should lay low for a bit then. The carriers are making money big time with this bandwidth crap. I use 2 terabite a month on my servers and it cost me 15.00 so I have no idea what all this fuss is about.

I'm not spreading bad information. Go to your local (corporate) Sprint store and ask for a hard copy of your contract. It states 5GB on Sprint network, 300MB roaming. The compliance department will only get involved if your line is flagged. Only 2 ways I'm aware of to get flagged, #1 roam excessively (voice, data, or both) for 3 consecutive months, #2 use excessive Sprint bandwidth on a congested tower, or area for 3 consecutive months.
Your bandwidth cap DOES NOT change with the tethering add-on; you are just notified without a hard copy of the existing caps.
It's not Sprint actually supplying DATA services to the towers, but another ISP that sells bandwidth to Sprint. I know that only because I've had to upgrade some hardware at the Notre Dame Campus Sprint antennas, and the internet connection was supplied by Comcast.

32GB is a bit excessive, but this Guy may not have a computer/internet at home so he uses his phone. Literally 2GB can be burned in a day easily, just using it moderately. (ie, how Sprint, VZW, AT&T, etc, portray in their ads)

Data has always been capped. Not to a point where they limit/charge, but if you look at the hard copy (full paper printed copy) it says you have 5GB as stated in the acceptable use policy portion of the contract. Look it up at Sprint.com or a Sprint store.

they throttle the top 5% on unlimited plans. spoke to a rep yesterday. although your usage to me does not look like a 5%'er
My average usage is 2.5 to 3.8 according to the rep I spoke to. He is also curious why I got flagged. He said he will look into it and call me back.

there are two threads here about this... one is titled throttled and the other is something along the same lines.. check them out for tips and gripes

Really??? I get a good 1-1.5 mbps continuous on 3g on my phone and computer when I use the hotspot. I font have 4g in my area to test that though. But when sprint launches their 4g lte in 2013 I will have it hopefully still unlimited too.

Yeah I was super dissapointed they did wimax and not lte.
Realize our 3g speeds are typically 1.5-5 , I have hit 12
When one gets throttled and can accomplish the apn trick...they are hitting 1.5-5 ...throttled
In my case here in Dallas i would get about 400kbps dload in most areas, which is why I left Sprint. Its different from area to area tho.

Sprint may not have very good coverage but I can use all the unlimited unthrottled data I want . Not trying to rub it in (cause I used yo have AT&T and got throttled and capped) just saying it was a good switch for me.
Yep had sprint for a few years and recently switched to At&t, the switch was night and day. I Showed my phone to a friend that still has sprint and he was amazed at how fast thing were loading especially YouTube videos and I wasn't even on At&t lte. I don't have an unlimited plan so I don't get throttled and average 1.3gbs per month so I'm good.
