Hey guys. I was snooping around in the G2X threads and found a thread talking about an Android Preferred data plan. You can get 5gb for only $20 instead of $30. I heard that it uncaps your data also. People have reported no throttling also. I called up and asked for the Android Preferred Plan and I got it. Even if it doesnt uncap data, im still saving $20 a month (2 lines). The rep told me that it reset my data usage for the month. Awesome!! Give it a try guys!

Oh ****. Time to save some more green. 20 bucks is 20 bucks that's a half tank of gas. Love it.

Yes they lied to you.
I have a 6 year old family plan with 5 lines and we all have the pref android plan.
Then again we also have free myfavs, free unlimited wifi calling and 9.99 unlimited messaging. Just make sure you get routed to retentions when you call in (say cancel at the prompt)
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA App
Thanks guys, I called retentions and they added the feature to both lines. The only catch with the Classic plans is that it is a required feature, meaning you have to keep it for two years. No big deal, just renewed last month anyway.
the 2 year contract is pretty much a moot point if the merger/takeover goes through, i think if it does we'll all be able to get out of any contract ETF free.
Even if AT&T says they will guarantee existing pricing, I know that they will force me to change to something more expensive or leave since they have nothing that comes close to price with what I am getting now (5 lines with all those features for almost $200 WITH taxes). AT&T will tell me to hit the road
It seems as it is truely unlimited and not 5GB. Either way, it's better than the 2GB I was stuck with before.
My plan gives me 5 gigs for $15... Its two lines for?$99 or something with 2 gigs, for my line i pay an extra $15 for 5 gigs.... So what plan are you guys on where $20 is cheaper?

The classic plan. Also the new android plan only comes with 2GB of unthrottled data. No thank you.

So I'm paying 25 per line right now. Supposed to be unlimited but caps at 5 gigs. I don't have a contract. Is this going to be the same thing but $20 instead?

Wow thanks guys. I called them today and was like give me the plan. The woman was like that just for loyalties I can't add it. So I asked he to transfer me to who can. Then kissed ass when reached that department and was like. I appreciate it and thanks for your time. In the end it all worked out.

Last time I renewed it was $30 for the "unlimited" Android data plan that goes to EDGE after 5GB.
I am calling them today and see if I can get that plan too. I am on the two gig unlimited plan right now. I went over last month and it slowed down so much it was almost unusable. Don't want that to happen again.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk
Just got off the phone with them and it was a no go for me. They said that plan was not available to me. I even spoke to retention. I wonder if is because I just like two weeks ago signed a new contract so they figure they got me locked in no matter what.

I have 2 accounts with tmobile, one has 5 lines and was there since the voicestream days, and my other account is brand new (2 months old) and i was able to switch lines on both.
Hmmmm OK I will give it a try again tomorrow. They may just give it to me just to keep me feom calling again. LOL

that said when I check the current it states that it is 'unlimited.' I haven't hit the 5GB yet to know if it really does throttle.

I have an unlimited $14.99 internet plan, and at the TMo store, I was told I had to upgrade it to a $30/month plan to get the upgrade price for the phone. I just walked out.
If anyone finds a good way around this BS, please post.
Are you available for an upgrade? Typically they will grandfather in plans if you are available for your regular upgrade, but if you try to ask for an upgrade early they will force you to more expensive plans.
Your best bet is to call up T-Mobile and talk to their Customer Loyalty/Retention department. Depending on how long you have been with T-Mobile, they work wonders for you, albeit you would have to wait for your phone to arrive in the mail.
I need to fight with them today myself. I have a family plan and already had one phone with a $25 unlimited plan on it. When I added this line they put me on a $30 plan and did not grandfather in the $25 rate.

Will try calling. I was eligible on this line, but they want to force people off the cheaper plans (some nexus users are still on $5.99 plan).
PS - went to their website, and it offered the upgrade, but when I started the process, it popped up a "warning" that I would have to revisit their website after they shipped it and set up an "android" plan.
Tempted to go through the process on my credit card (not on my TMo account credit - so they cannot pull back the upgrade "discount"), and when I get the phone - just put the SIM in and see what happens.
AT $180/year more for the data plan, it would be better for me to just pay the full price. Will get most of it back from my Nexus on eBay if I decide to keep the phone past the remorse period.
Fight harder -- depending on how long you have been with T-Mobile, they will give you their new Android Premium Web for $20 a month.
I have been with them before they officially started up in the US (used them in Germany).
On hold - will see....
Guess what - from customer retention - $99 for the upgrade (not $199), and the $30 "android" plan for $20/month. I also have a 20 day period to return and restore my existing data plan.
From this and one other experience, it appears customer retention should be the way to go as a normal upgrade route (that is how I got the $14.99 unlimited plan a while back).
What's this Android Premium Web? I have been with them for over 5 years on the family account. My work account has been with them since the voicestream days.

First of all, the soft cap is 5 GB, not 3 GB. Secondly, I hear if you live in an area where there is HSPA+, after 5 GB they will drop you to 3G, then after 10 GB they will drop you to edge.
Secondly, it is still "unlimited" because you can still use the Internet -- just at slower speeds.
Lastly, they send you a text message telling you they throttled your speed, so you know. If you have been a customer with T-Mobile for a while, and/or this only happens to you once in a while, calling up T-Mobile can typically get them to remove the throttle.

Not sure, but they probably do.
i pay $20.00 for unl. inter. you need to call customer care and order your phone from them in order to keep your cheap inter.
I'm not sure why you guys think you deserve the right for an early upgrade when you are currently locked into a 2 year contract. If you try to talk them into it they have no choice but to force you to get the new prices.
I've never understood the purpose of locking yourself into a new 2 year contract every time a new phone comes out. If a new phone is coming out, and you KNOW for a fact you want it, then save up ahead of time and buy it full price. That way you can keep your old grandfather plans with the much cheaper pricing. Or you can do what I'm doing and go with their EM+ solutions, which only T-Mobile offers, and have a much cheaper monthly bill but buy your phones outright. It saves much more money, just sell your current phone on craigslist and pay the difference.

I was not locked in on the line I upgraded with.
Currently using Nexus from eBay - will be selling it back there IF I decide to keep the 4G. If not, I have 20 days to return and go back to grandfathered plan.
I had been thinking about just paying full price and keeping my $14.99 plan if they had stuck with $30 for the plan.
What is their EM+ solutions and do you know what the EM+ price would be on this device?

Well, it can't get any cheaper than what I'm paying - $30 voice and $20 data. I may get more minutes with EM+, but I don't need them. And, by upgrading I don't have to change plans or anything. So, I get the phone at subsidized pricing as I know I'll be with T-Mo anyway. Furthermore, if I DO need to change providers for any extreme reason, the ETF drops over time, so nothing is lost and everything is gained, at least for me.

Ask for retentions, politely ask about the android preferred data plan. Then when the say yes, make sure its 5gb for 20 bucks... Then ask if they can apply it to your account..... They still say there is a cap, but others report no throttling. Either way its 10 bucks off...
What's this got to do with g2x you may ask? Well it just makes our g2x that much pimper...
They let me do it on both lines and one is new... Time to test throttling
I will give that a try when I get back home from work....
Thanks for the heads up

Hell ya, great job... Listen to this..
Used to have two lines, family share for 99$+ 20$ 2 gigs, + 30$ for 5 gigs, 7.99$ insurance plus taxes like 160+ .. Called and got the g2x free adding another line for only 10$ a month, so total 170+ and free g2x..
Today, called and switched 30$ 5 gig plan to 20$, so that cancels out the new line cost. Them called and got the 20$ 2 gig plan changed to 20$ 5 gig plan...
So I made out this last week, free phone, free line and unlimited 5gb plans ..

I had Family 1000 with 2 lines and an @home $10 a month plan. My data lines were $30-5gb for mine, and my daughter had the $15-200mb plan. I called and converted both to the $20-5gb android plan. I started the converstation stating that's what I was calling about, and the rep told me immediately that it was available. No hassle at all. I'm happy!
Awesome guys glad to hear y'all getting hooked up.
Thanks for the tip. I called tmo and the rep put me on hold and asked the retention depth for me. Now I have the preferred android web only plan. He told me it was twenty bucks for five gig, but I must not sure what "web only"means. I hope it is the right plan.

I just got off the phone with customer care and they switched my data to the android preferred plan in about 30 seconds. Thank you very much for this tip!!!
Same here! At, first the rep told me that it was a "web only plan" with no minutes. I told the rep that I knew of others that had this plan and still had minutes as well. He asked about my device and we had a quick chat about the G2x and how I was going to switch to the sensation. After a few minutes of chatting he obliged and added the package for me!
5GB for 20 bucks?!?! Can't beat that!
No go for me.
I'm currently on a Family Classic 1000 Minute - Talk+Text for $79.99 and 2GB Data for $20.
I was told that the Android Preferred Plan (5GB for $20) is for customers that are on a newer plan that was just introduced 6 days ago. My "new" plan that was introduced in May, 2011, is not eligible and I will have to pay a ETF I wanted to change to the newest plan to benefit the Android Preferred Plan.
Anybody else run into this roadblock as well?
Thanks,
Anthony
I'm in a similar situation. Since they changed me to the new value plan for $59 and waived the $200 migration fee, they will only give me 5GB if I pay $25 for it, which is an additional $15 for me... I'm considering it strongly, though.

I just got out if sprint they waived my Etf's thank God. But any ways i had the unlimited everything with sprint but didn't use much talk time. I use a **** pile of data every month though.What would be the best plan...What are some of you data hogs out there using plan wise at Verizon ?
Sent from a MIUI Anthrax Infected Sprint Shooter Evolution 3d
Verizon no longer has unlimited data. I do, because I am grandfathered in according to the customer service rep I spoke to. Also keep in mind that Mobile to ANY mobile on sprint was free. Not so on verizon. Only Mobile to Verizon Mobile is free. So you may be using more minutes than you are used to.
I currently have 2 lines and 700 minutes with 5 my friends and family slots. This keeps me under 500 minutes a month. The thing is, I had to haggle my way into getting the friends and family with the 700 minute plan. They don't normally offer it without having the 1400 minute plan.
Yeah your right about the minutes used. Ill take a look at my latest phone bill and see how many minutes we r using and go by that. As for data I guess ill use the 4 gig plan. Ill prob end up paying around the same amount for verizon as I was paying for sprint which was $175.00 thanks for the info buddy.

LOL ..... well we havent seen a pricing structure yet maybe rediculously priced.
Anxiously waiting for some of those details to leak
In one sense, it does make some sense for the company. Lots of people are getting both tablets and phones. If they can share a data plan between them, it might spur sales of a tablet. I know a lot of people who would not get a second device because they don't want that second data plan. I was one of those that didn't want the second data plan. So I got a wifi-only tablet and tethering on my phone. But, from an ATT perspective, they might come out ahead if they used their fast LTE for the small screens of phones and let folks use the older Edge and 3G for their tablets at a decreased price because it spreads their data load.
I work for Att, and I know its going to half and half. Good cuz now you can have one set price bad cuz you need to think about what if lil Johnny uses up all my data... What do I do, oh I know get hit with overcharge... Att is about to make bank. Wait. And see.gghf

Verizon announced shared data beginning June 28th, AT&T will probably follow suit shortly.
verizon_share_everything_plan_details.pdf
Compared VZW's plans with my current AT&T plan (FT w/ 3 devices) and it's within about $5 of what I'm paying now.
+ is tethering on all devices without paying for the top tier.
- is overages are $15 / GB.
Verizon's new share everything plan is everything I was afraid of. Instead if choice they force the customers hand into buying a service they don't want. I'm on AT&T and I look forward to see what they offer, but if it is similar I won't be saving money, I'll be paying more while getting less data, more minutes than I use and more texts than I need. This is the perfect plan for the top tier users but for the average joe this is a slap in the face.
Saw this on Verizon's shared data plans:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/12/verizon-share-everything-data-plans-go-live-june-28/
If I'm reading that right, you pay a base of $50 for the lowest tier, plus $40 per smartphone. That seems to me to be more than I'm paying now for a total of 4GB on 2 phones plus a dumb phone ($70 base + $80 for smartphones + $30 for the dumb phone = $180 + tax). Maybe not a lot more, but more nonetheless.
If there is a similar price point for the AT&T plans, I may consider it based on whatever my average data is, but that remains to be seen. I'm guessing with Verizon's announcement that we'll see something soon.

I have something similar on att, base plan at $80, with two smart phones at unlimited data and texts and 1200 minutes to share, the base plan has a dumb phone with unlimited data and texts as well
So 80+9+9+30+30, and don't forget about rolling over unsed minutes.

I'm certain AT&T will do something similar. That's how they have things setup for texting now, either pay $20/month for unlimited or $.20/message and get 100 messages for the same $20, nothing in between like $10 for 500 messages, etc.
The statement that VZW is making is that minutes and texts no longer matter, they are commodity features now. The cash cow is data, which is why they bumped their data overage from $10/GB to $15/GB.
I would probably switch to a shared plan, currently have 3 phones with 3GB, 3GB, and 4GB+tether and it would be nice for me to be able to use the balance of the 2 3GB plans in a month that I do a lot of tethering.

Another reason why USA is slowly but steadily falling behind other developed countries. What ATT and VZW just did was overpaid for spectrum knowing that there is no true competition and they can charge whatever they want. Now they will have customers pay by the teeth for data.
The end game is that everyone else but the cellular provider loses. Customers pay more so they will buy less cellular equipment and use less. I for one will let go my personal cell phone and use company phone only. Fewer people will buy data enabled tablets. This impacts a whole slew of downstream app develops providers etc as well.
A family data share option would be great if they do it like their other plans.. offer several different size family packages like ex.
1. 2gb family
2. 3 gb family
3. 4 gb family
4. 5 gb family and so on until
5. Unlimited. And be truley unlimited family...
And if you should so choose option 1-4 let the unused balance roll over to the next month. If a company would offer this, data plans taylored to the customers needs and wants. Why have these big companies like att got away from giving their customers what they actually want and giving them what they pay for..

Surprisingly similar to VZW's offering.
I wonder how AT&T is going to handle discounts with the new plans. Previously only certain thing were discounted with my corp premier discount. Either way, this looks a bit more expensive for my situation.
I have 4 lines. One smart phone (unlimited data(don't really use more then 5 gigs)) and 3 dumb phones (2 of which don't have data). For the same price I'm paying now I could have data on all my lines with unlimited talk (already have unlimited txt). I'll be looking into it for sure. Just cause they offer it doesn't mean its for you or you need it or that they are "forcing" it on you.

Stumbled across this today. When I signed my contract with this phone back in April they were offering the same deal except ONLY 1GB of data. Now for the same price ($60/mo) you can have all calling features currently offered with the old $60 plan but also with 6GB of data! They're only offering it until August 8th, so act quick if you want to get in on this deal.
Do you know if this is compatible with family plans?

I have no idea...
im pretty sure this is an individual plan only and cannot be tacked onto a family plan.
then add on the $12 voicemail package. I dont think your saving any money really.

I was told there's no difference between 3g and lte data. I use both and never had to change my plan.

Updated my plan last night. No issues. 5GB extra for nothing, apparently!
I had this plan already but it was $10 more, so I switched it . It is an LTE plan. I also have half-price voicemail & call display from the promo they had a few months back
I had just switched to this plan as well. I had the old $30 6gb data plan but it didn't work on LTE.
Now we get 6gb of LTE data! Amazing!!
Tack on $7 mini call display and voicemail and I'm looking at $67 before tax. Not too shabby.

FYI if your on Bell
If your on Bell please take note that they also offer the exact samething at the same price!
Just called and had them switch me to that. Saving 15$ on both my plans.

I do know that you can use Data Sharing with it. Is that the same thing?
just called them.
it's actually a combo plan,
Includes:
6gb lte dataplan
200 mins weekly
my 10 canada wide
unlimited evening from 6 pm
mini voice mail ( 3 voice mails)
for 60
+ call display, call forward for 7
so 67 before tax
you can keep your bonus, but will lose all your discounts...
hope that helps
I'll be paying the 67$ for all of the below but I also have 20% discount still applied to the account plus a 5$ credit promo from my original signup 5yrs ago. Total 56.05$ I must say that this is a sweet deal.
Previously it was 78$ - the 20% - 5$ and I only had 1GB. Total vas 64.88$
I think it's a nice trade off.

There's unlimited messaging included.
I spoke to a rep who stated that tethering is not included.
Another rep told me that even though tethering was not included, I could still use wifi hotspot. (even though it's the same thing)
Regardless, as long as you're running a custom ROM you will never get charged for tethering.

Rogers doesn't charge for tethering, you're just required to have 1GB minimum in order to do it.
10 gb lte data
You guys missed the 10GB of LTE data option that they had a month ago. It was 50 dollar add on all you had to do was get a voice plan as well. I pay about $80 a month now and I really enjoy the 10 GB. I also have my 10, unlimited evenings and weekends, unlimited txts. I find complaining once and a while does wonders especially with rogers for some reason. Bell I never had any luck with but Rogers isn't bad.
Just called Rogers and switched to this awesome plan!
