(Q) How much did you pay for your Inspire 4G?

How much did you pay for your phone? And was it on or off contract?

$178.99 off contract thru premier store. No commitment. No contract extension. However there was a flaw in their system that they have since fixed.

Wow. Lucky!

Off what?
Isnt there 3 of these threads now?
99.
-50 recycle rebate at RS
$49 dollars

I paid $79 with contract
BUT I am grandfathered on a very old unlimited data plan plus 200 SMS for $35.
Also I'm happy with AT&T so why not?

128.99 with contract extension from wal-mart. It was only 99.99 at ATT, but they didn't have any in stock and I wanted one right then

$80 on contract at Costco.

My buddy just picked one up for free with a contract extension. The guy at att said he was a good customer.

$99 on contract (best buy)
Via the XDA app for the HTC Inspire

130 out of pocket in total 380 (sold my captivate on craiglist for 250)
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

$90 after taxes but before the $18 upgrade fee from Costco. Includes an accessories bag, which has a belt case, crappy headphones and a working car charger which I was very happy about. This is on contract by the way.

69.99 Amazon with contract.

I want eligible for upgrade, att gave me $249 but added few of accessories and bluetooth. Phone came to $179. I check best buy, best they could was sell me retail.
Note that another att store i went to say $299 for my situation. 2nd att store is $249 befire the extra acc i bought the same time. Didnt hesitate. Although my next upgrade date is 2 years from now. And i still kept the unlimited data plan.
Not bad of a deal afterall, considering that i shelled out $700 for the touch pro wgen it first came out (dumb move)
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I paid 299 each for them with early upgrades on non data lines, but had them add the phones to the 2 data lines. My kids dont need data on thier lines.
I feel the phone is worth it and i have been waiting a long time for att to get something like this in. Im not sure if im going to keep using the inspire or the dell, yet. But my wife feels better now that she has a real replacement to the EDGE only hd2 she had before the crapdivate she just replaced.

$70 on contract with amazon and new contract but convinced ATT to give me a statement credit because my last phone's screen died three days ago after 10 months, so it was free
...except for the upgrade fee

I might just have to get one off Craigslist but its like 400 bucks.

Got mine for free with make/model exchange after 2 faulty captivates and 2 hours on the phone

$49.99 from AT$T , off contract but with a new commitment. It was a knife in my side to " re-up " with AT$T because they suck so bad.
Would have gone to T-mobile, but really wanted this phone. Here's hoping that AT$T bites the dust now that their cash cow ( iPhone ) has been spread a little thinner.

That means that my 2 year contract from my Tilt ended and I was free to take my number to another carrier with no early termination fees to AT$T.
After 18 months AT$T will allow you to upgrade your phone at a discounted price if you sign a new 2 year contract. But you cannot go to another carrier until your contract is up.
I had to sign another 2 year contract, so AT$T will easily make up the cost of the phone by taking everything I own and my first born child in outrageous service/data plans and obnoxious fees. There is a reason they are at the bottom of every customer satisfaction survey. They work hard to be there

You can switch plans whenever you want, the only thing is you'll get a new 2 yr. Contract each time.

The new price plans are equivalent to the old "even more plus" plan. Except with a 2yr contract now. Existing customers that had service for @ least 90 days can switch to these plans..the big difference is you lose out your discounted upgrade when eligible..phones are purchased at full retail price with the option to finance the phone by adding $10-$15 a month on your bill..same goes for new activations.

You can change plans anytime you want, and it won't affect your 2 year contract or upgrade eligibility. You do need to keep a data plan if you are on contract with a smart phone, otherwise the lowest cost plan available will hold up your end of a contract.

I know where I am going on monday. I just got my phone in the middle of June so there should not be an issue with me getting this plan.
Actually, this is my plan, just 20 bucks cheaper now.

Yeh, thanks for posting this. I just signed up on the 13th of June, and this new plan offers me the same that I have now for $20 less. Unlimited talk, text, and data, throttled after 2GB/month. I will be looking for customer service next week.

I could switch, but my 5GB before throttle would go down to 2GB, not that it matters now because I'm stuck on 2G, but if I move... I might miss that extra 3GB, but is it worth $20 more?
T-Mobile is set to announce Wednesday that it plans to cut the price of its smartphone plans. Most significantly, its mid-tier plan--which includes unlimited phone calls, text messages, and data--drops by $20 to $59.99 a month. In comparison, Sprint's comparable plan--which includes unlimited data, text, and calls to other cell phones--costs $69.99 a month.
For heavier data users, T-Mobile offers a $74.99 plan with an allotment of 5 gigabytes of data before throttling, which is $15 less than before. It also offers a lower-end, data-less plan for $49.99 with unlimited phone calls and text messages. That plan was previously $65. If you choose to pay for the phone through monthly installments, you can sign up for a 200-megabyte data option for $5 a month. Traditional contract customers can get the same option for $10 a month. The plans will be available on July 24.

Ah let's see. I'm paying $80 now for 1500 minutes, unlimited texts, 5 GB of data
With the new plan:
unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, 2GB data for $60
unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, 5GB data for $75
Wow, even switching to the new plan at 5GB is cheaper! I might as well switch to 2GB until my city gets 3G then up to 5GB later...
Is there any catch to these new plans?

so basically if we bought our phones on the $79.99 deal and did not have to pay full price, we will have to pay for the phone in full but will get $20 less per month in monthly bill?

i'm hoping that i am allowed to switch this Monday. i got my phone in late May so it hasn't been a full 2 months yet.

I am on the 5gig plan but check it, prepaid. 70 bucks. Have been on this plan since i bought my phone used online back in june. prepaid plans are comin up in the world. no more pay by the minute. I get unlimited everything with 5gig 4g cap. beautiful. been on tmo prepaid for about 3 years now starting way back with flexpay. its worked out great for me
so in all actuallity you can go and just buy a prepaid sim card and hop on the plan right now if you wanted to.

This is not correct. I just finished dealing with the retentions department on the phone (and this can be confirmed if you go online and try to change your plan to the Value Unlimited Plan). If you change to the Value plan, you are charged $200 migration fee on your next bill, which accounts for the difference in price for the phone.
I argued for 15 minutes that I HAD a brand new phone, but that since it was so problematic, the retentions department rep sent me a replacement phone...never said it was a refurbished model. And that when I went to update it the other day, it refused to update...so I called LG and it was confirmed that my DWP model is a factory refurbished model. I argued that I should not have to pay $200 for the difference in price for a brand new phone, since I have a refurb. She came back after several minutes and offered to put me on the new value plan starting next month if I meet them halfway and agree to pay $100 instead of the $200. I was tired of arguing and went ahead and agreed. I figured $20 less per month for 24 months is worth a lot more than $100 today. She was telling me that the biggest problem with them agreeing to move me over for free was that I'm such a new customer...I haven't built up any "tenure". So if you have been with T-mobile for much longer, I suppose it's possible for you to argue your way to a free migration.
Anyway, I'm satisfied with the deal.

So, being I signed up for a new plan on June 21st, I will have to pay 200 dollars to switch from paying 80 a month for unlimited talk, text, and 2GB data to the 60 plan that is the exact same thing, just 20 bucks less?

Yes, I just signed up June 13th for the same plan you did. But since I took the discounted price for the phone and signed the 2 year contract, when I wanted to switch to this cheaper version of the same plan today, they asked me for the difference of the cost of the phone...$200. I feel fortunate to have gotten the deal for $100 instead. It's still a great savings overall.

I agree. I will still do it, that is for sure.

Well called T-mobile about this plan and this is what they told me i could do. Since im a new customer i can do either these options:
Pay 59.99 Unlimited everything, BUT charged extra 5-15 dollars(depending on phone) and pay full price of phone in monthly installments over 20 month period.
Buy a phone off ebay, CL, or Pay full price in store of any phone and then i just get charged just 59.99
Or sign up for a "Regular contract" and pay 79.99 and buy phone of choice(discounted 2yr agreement price) And they run credit check to see if their is a deposit.
So many choices idk which one i should do? lol

Ok. I see uncertainty so I will try to address them all in this post. The new plans are great.. No matter how you look at them you are always going to come out in the positive in the long run. Unlimited Talk, Text, and Unlimited web with 2 GB of high speed data is $59.99. You will have to sign a new 2 Year contract. If you are on the Even More Plus plan you CANNOT come over onto the new plan (I know a loop hole). If you currently are on T-mobile and are in contract you will have to pay a migration fee that ranges from $200-0 depending on your current tenure. 18+ months will not have to pay a migration fee. On the new plans you must purchase your phone at the full retail but many will have EIP (Equipment Installment Plan) which will allow them to break the payments over a period of 21 months (If done at the store first payment will be at the store so that will make it 20 months).
For a family plan for 2 Lines Unlimited Talk, Text, and 2 GB of high speed web it will cost 99.99!!! That is super cheap. The same applies to a family plan as an individual. On the Even more plans it used to cost $179.99 ($80 savings) and compared to the classic plans $139.99, you save $40. Think about it..
Compared to the classic plan it is cheaper to be on the value plan on the long run. If you purchased 2 sensations (I chose this because its the most expensive phone I have) that makes is $550 x 2 = $1,100. If you take $40 savings x 24 months = $960 in rate plan. On the classic plan you still have to purchase the phones at $200 x 2 = $400. So for the value plan over 2 years take 99.99 x 24 (months) + $1,100 for phones = $3,500. While the classic plan will cost you 139.99 x 24 (months) + $400 (for the phone with MIR applied) = $3,760.
For 5 Lines Unlimited Talk Text and web 2 GB high speed on the value plan cost $205. Compared to the classic it will cost $290. 5 sensation on the value plan will cost $2750 while on the Classic it will cost $1000.
Value plan: $205 x 24 + $2750 = $7670.
Classic plan: $290 x 24 + $1000 = $7960.

Attn: Rogers Users - New 6GB Super Plan Available Now

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?

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.

it's actually a combo plan,

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.

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!

Bought my One S yesterday for $0 after the $50 rebate. Classic plan is still less expensive than AT&T considering T-Mobile's new unlimited data plan. On top of that get the corporate 15% discount on the $400 I will pay over the value plan and I have an insurable One S through T-Mobile and Wells Fargo credit card for $360. Not a bad deal and beats buying one on craigslist.
So, be carefull.... what you think is full price may not be exactly true. $450 comes to mind.

Sorry guys the email I obtained was incorrect I edit to avoid confusion
