Checked it this morning just to see what I was at. 16k, 18k afternoon, now 21k mb with six hours left in the day. All the moaning about the death star, I stay with em for a reason.
This is insane, haha
How the hell did you use 21 gigabytes in 3 days.
Also, people like you ruined the unlimited data for the rest of us.

Not throttled because you grandfathered in the Unlimited Data plan before they capped it a few months ago. Next time you re-up you will probably be forced to sign a limited data plan contract

Nope...as long as he doesn't get rid of the plan he will be fine. But the rest of us are stuck with 2GB max. I only pay for the 200mb because I am too cheap to get the 2GB. I prefer wifi anyway because it is faster.

Flashman is correct. Plus throttling refers to bumping someone down to a slower network like 2g. Tmo has a 5 gig cap on unlimited before they slow you down.

There are people on hear that still have the $15 unlimited data. It's in the contract, all you are doing is renewing the contract. Extending it. I was hitting 10 gb on my razr2 feature phone way back when I first signed up. Got a fuze and had to switch to smartphone unlimited. On the fuze, I averaged about 40 gigs. Only way it's changing is if they charge for 4g like sprint. Which I'll gladly do.

Cellular South decided to pay out my contract or cap my data and minutes to 100mb and 700 minutes. Any suggestions on carriers and phone? I travel the southern states constantly.

Man that sucks. I don't know if USCC is in your area. But I am very happy with my service with them. I was also with Sprint for a few years and was happy with my coverage. Not so much with Customer service, But that has been a few years ago so things might have changed.

Actually, ever since I jumped the CS ship and went to AT&T I couldn't be happier. Their Signal strength kicks the $hit outta CS. I got a BEST of -86dbm on CS, on AT&T I've gotten down to -56dbm... Signal consistantly is better than CS everywhere I go. I travel all over the state, and have way better coverage. I've had zero dropped calls so far, and zero data "time outs"... Data is waaaaaaaaay faster too. Getting 3-5+Mbps Down on AT&T vs. 800Kbps-1.1Mbps Down on CS. Well that is if the connection didn't time out. Lol. AT&T is also Buying out CS ETF's up to $200 right now. Only downfall I've seen so far are the prices of the plans, but ya gotta pay to play. Also nice to be able to pop your Sim card in whatever phone you wanna run that day. ha
Thanks for your feedback. I think the only problem I will encounter is a big ass deposit. Sally Mae shows up on my credit never fails lol

That blows... Since you're traveling across several states, having a Nationwide Carrier will be more beneficial.. Especially if you're outta town and break or lose your phone. I'm sure they'll have a store fairly close. Sucks when you're in Florida, and Kill your CS phone. Screwed until you get back to MS.. Been there. lol

Probably roaming agreements. Why not try T-Mobile? We roam on AT&T towers if your unlucky enough to go on roaming, have the best 3G EVER (T-Mobile 4G is advanced 3G, so 21mbps 3G sounds nice), and the plans are SUPER cheap.

Yeah, but T-mobile's data svc around MS blows as of now. 2G Damn near EVERYWHERE I went.. very spotty 3G. Had a G2X and a G2. Great phones, just wish they had the svc to match around here because they do have awesome plans. We'll see what happens with the merger. Would be beneficial for both companies, but they would have the GSM market cornered..

i currently have an inspire 4g but under tmobile
i have rooted and installed CM7. everythings running great but i really hate the fact that im only getting 2g connection just because im tmobile, and this is an atnt phone. im really close to just trading it for a tmobile 4g phone just so i can take advantage of my plan...
so basically my question is..
can an HTC Inspire 4g from ATnT acquire 3g or 4g from a tmobile sim card ?!
i think i know the answer because about the GSM Bands but is there anyways at all? basically, change APN's or ROMS that radio those bands? please and Thanks so much XDA community! Thanks in advance!
Sorry to tell you but no there is no way. The radio is set for ATT frequencies. It is the same for a tmobile phone on ATT. I would try and trade for a tmobile phone. Check Craigslist see what you can come up with.

You just need to find someone switching to ATT. An even trade would prolly happen. But to trade ATT to tmobile for someone on tmobile you'll prolly have to add some cash. I'd delete the other post repost and add that you may add cash for the right trade. Although I wouldn't add much.

Yes it's a repost and month old news. No idea what you are talking about with an "unlimited" plan or a soft cap. It's very clear that it's a 5GB hard cap. Anything more than that and you pay for it.

Maybe i'm grandfathered in, but the only time anyone has said anything to me was when i hit the 10gb mark (from tethering). Furthermore, about a 1 1/2 - 2 years ago when i went to get on a data plan, i asked a USCC rep if it was in fact unlimited, and if there was some sort of soft cap. He specifically said there wasn't.

He lied. Go on USCC's website. Nowhere does it mention unlimited data. Data is capped at 5GB and you will pay up to $200 for going over that. Whether you are grandfathered into something else I can't say.
On my blackberry it had unlimited, but as far as I know its a 5 gig hard cap on androids, and being that I've had to pay for some nasty overages I'd assume its correct. Damn those rom updates when they come out in bunches, lol

Last time I was on the website there was a 50 dollar unlimited plan. Is that no longer available? It was part of the belief project stuff they had on there. I'm on the one you are talking about 30 bucks for 5 gig of data per month.

Why does it matter? Who cares. The Mesmerize isn't a 4G compatible phone. It's a hardware thing. So who cares what USCC gets, if you're in this forum then you can't use it.

Worth the ETF
If you're currently paying $100 per month under contract, you'd make up for the cost of a $325 ETF in six months. Your contract probably isn't brand new, so the actual ETF would be less than that.
If you don't want to autopay, you can also buy 90 days worth of service from Walmart.com, which brings the price a bit below $45 per month, not including tax.
Here's a giant thread that lists the prepaid options out there: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1455014
Keep in mind that that thread lists several options that use T-Mobile's network, which isn't an option on the Infuse unless you want to always be on Edge speeds. People on that thread seem to agree that Straight Talk is the best option currently available using AT&T's network.
A lot of people who go prepaid port their numbers to Google Voice and make and receive all calls through that service. That way, they can hop from one prepaid provider to another without having to go to the bother of porting their number. I considered trying that myself, but I found there was too much voice lag in making Google Voice calls. It was like talking to someone via satellite or something: everything came through a half second late. I'd be curious if anyone has had better results than I have with that.
A couple of things to be aware of: Straight Talk claims to provide unlimited data, but they'll shut you down if you use too much. Most people say to play it safe and not to go over 100 MB per day or 2GB per month. They generally give you a couple of warnings before they take action, but in the worst-case scenario, they could cancel your account and you'd lose your number.
Also, these companies are almost always limited to AT&T's network, with no roaming access at all. They tend to have terrible customer service because they cut costs wherever they can.
I'm sticking with AT&T while my phone is under warranty (I've been having some minor issues with it that I need to get addressed), but as soon as that's over, I'm switching to Straight Talk.
The number porting took about 20 min after doing the online set up.. As far as data I don't think I'm close to the 2gb cut off that people claim. I guess if you tether they will cut you off eventually. This is plenty fast for every day use email, pandora. I have not had any issues.. The only thing that I notice is that when I ever I send a MMS I have to add message with it or it dosen't get delivered. But it could just be this phone, my iphone on Straight talk would work fine with MMS. I love the $ 41 + tax I pay..
