I know we get unlimited data(2GB), but is there a way to keep track of the usage? I didn't see anything on the phone or VM site.
I use this app called radioOpt ..it is a widget an it tells you how much data youve used with wifi and regular 3g..see in the pic it on the top.

There is a 2gb cap? What happens after we go over? I use 2gb easy. Figured sense sprint offers true unlimited data vm would too?

We do get unlimited data. Just after 2.5GB in a month, VM will throttle your speed for the rest of the month.

Lol, I use a Thunderbolt, and my GF has a Triumph. Even when comparing 3G to 3G, My Thunderbolt is twice as fast as her Triumph. 4G on my T-bolt makes her Triumph feel like its running on 1x. I can't imagine how bad "throttling" VM 3G service would be.

There is no 4G plan or sim card! There are newer sim cards which they call 3rd and 4rth Generation!

In your experience what does tmobile throttle you down to?
Is the higher 5GB option plan still available?
Thanks!

After you hit 5GB they will throttle the speed down to dial up speed.
If you get the 2GB plan then youll get throttled to dial up sped after you hit 2GB.

Will T-mo not sell you additional bandwidth when you hit your unlimit? I was just trying to figure this out on their website, but to no avail.

What was the throttled speed that you got?
In other words you were getting 4g/3g speeds (don.t really know what the speed in MB/sec)
After throttling you now get how many MB/sec?
I just switched from a grandfathered t-zones plan to the android $10/month 200MB cap then throttle down "unlimited" plan. I just want to know how slow my internet speed will be after I hit the 200MB mark and if I will be able to use S*l*i*n*g* M*o*b*i*l*e or not. I used it for a minute and saw that I used 8 MB according the the usage chart on the TMo website. That's about 25 minutes at 4g speeds until I hit my 200 MB cap!!
After throttling you'll be on EDGE / 2G which is anywhere from 5KB/sec to 100KB/sec in my experience.
Ugh. Thats terrible.

Here's what I get when I'm throttled.

Try going to www.justin.tv over 3G/H+ and see if it works for you guys. On mine, it doesn't.
Then if I try going to it over WiFi it works flawlessly.

It's not actually unlimited.
I used to be on GG myself and everything was going great. Then I started getting my internet cut off because I was using too much internet. How can one use too much of unlimited? I literally ended up getting cut of twice in one week for using too much and all I was doing was streaming through Netflix.
Here's a screenshot of the message I sent to one of their agents about the situation.

I am currently on 500mb data, having to cut myself short as I'm averaging 3x that in a month. I think the most I'll use is about 3 gig, mainly Rom downloads. Won't be using Netflix or streaming media, but still like access to my files at home whilst I'm out, which is why I was looking at giffgaff.

Look at OP. He just asked about our carrier and hasn't posted since. He never wanted to discuss about our carriers either, he simply wanted to know WHAT carrier we were on. The replies started the conversation on what carriers were good.
Since I posted second, all I knew about this thread was that some weirdo with barely any posts just wanted to know what carrier other people were using. He never posted his carrier either, usually you would at least say "to start, I am on AT&T" or other carrier.

There is no "best" deal, but a popular one I know of and use is with T-Mobile, a non-contract $30 a month plan with unlimited data(first 5gb at 4g speed) unlimited texting and 100 talking minutes. I rooted my phone and can now tether without the fee and I use an app to make free phone calls. 5gb of data is a lot for phone usage, even if you tether it should last you a month. If you're looking for a home internet service though you should still order wifi because 4g speed isn't great on laptops.
i have sprint.. been with them almost 4 years.. i love them.. well service sucked for a while but now i get great 4g lte in my state so im happy.. i get unlimited talk.. text.. data.. and use wifi tether all the time with no issues.. i would hate to have a limit on data..
