I've done some looking around, and I found the Captivate at Newegg.com for $79.99 with a renewal of contract, BEWARE!!!!!
I didn't get the warm and fuzzies from Newegg, so I stopped the process with them and called AT&T. Here's what I found:
My existing plan affords me the unlimited Data, without the new data plan restrictions.
When you buy from one of these Authorized AT&T Dealers, they effectively cancel your existing contract, and start a new contract with their name, and that is how they get paid(from AT&T). The Up side is you can get a Captivate for $79.99, the down side is if you have a "true" unlimited data package, you will loose it, and get the data plan with the cap.
That's not completely true..
If you mean "authorized dealers" such as LetsTalk or wirefly .. they let you keep your old unlimited 30$ data plan.. I'm a little surprise newegg wouldn't let you do that.. try calling newegg and argue it back.
Best Buy was able to do this for me as well, selling at the 99.99 price and giving me the unlimited data after a call to AT&T.

I dont know about LetsTalk or Wirefly, but Newegg said I would keep my data plan, and appearance wise, it would all remain the same, but it was the AT&T Rep that said the plan would technically change, I would be changing the plan and I would loose the current true unlimited data plan, and would be under the new unlimited data plan that actually has a limit. That's why, they could only offer me the cheaper phone IF my plan was still offered by AT&T.
Amazon.com is selling the captivate for .01 with a new contract.

Bought my captivate for [email protected], and there was an option to keep the unlimited plan. Sounds like you got hosed.

I don't know about the contract changes and stuff but, I got mine for $9.99 off Wirefly with a new 2 year contract. Needed 3 lines, now I have 3 lines..lol
Mnay "authorized dealers" treat a new contract different then an upgrade. Some of these deals ONLY apply to new contracts and it is up to the retailer to decide. New Contracts should not get Unlimited Data - even AT&T store managers get in trouble for doing this. Upgrades to hardware on current contracts do allow you to keep the unlimited data plan if you have it already.
There is nothing magic here, but if you are not sure, you should ask.
I was able to keep my unlimited plan when ordered from letstalk.

I also just ordered my Captivate from Amazon for 1 penny (new contract, 4 lines). Quick off topic question, how is the call quality?
I just purchased from WireFly and was able to my unlimited data package no problem. What's odd here is NewEgg uses the same company called Simplexity, that being said there should be NO issues with keeping your current unlimited data plan.

I went thru letstalk and they set me up on the limited..I called at&t adn told em I didn't want the plan and I wanted my old one that was grandfathered in. They said ok but not again. I bricked my phone and sent it back to lettalk and they sent mea phone back and changed the data plan on me again...I had to call at&t but they set me back to unlimited data for $30. I thought they were going to allow folks to keep the unlimited forever so long that they stayed with at&t

Is that for new or upgrade?
There are some GREAT prices out there for the Cap no doubt, I was just warning everyone about what AT&T told me regarding these plans. I didn't want anyone with the true Unlimited Data to loose it, and get stuck with the "New" Unlimited Data, which is capped at 2gig's per month(Not sure of the exact limit)

upgrade :x
A buddy of mine has an iPhone 3g and will be upgrading to a Captivate. He called and made sure about his data. If your already on the unlimited, then you get to keep the unlimited. But if you drop it from unlimited..you don't get it back.
As the title says, on no contract right now $79 unlimited everything plan with a G2, and want to get a G2x.
Amazon is selling it for $509 outright (no tax and shipping included).
Or sign a contract on the same $79 plan and get it for $149 and port my # over to the contract line and cancel the no contract one.
Now here's my theory. I looked it up and Tmo's ETF is $200. $149+200=$349. Much cheaper than $509 and the same plan I have now. Yes, I know 2gb data before throttling but I checked my history and I havent used more than 6-700mb at the most, so its a non-issue.
Any thoughts if going contract is the best way since the ETF + on contract phone price is cheaper and getting the same plan for the same price anyways? BTW, no plans to cancel Tmo anytime soon (not trying any sing contract and cancel gimmick), I just mean as an insurance policy down the road to get out if need be.
ive thought about signing a 2 year contract, keeping my unlimited data (3g, dont care for 4g) then canceling.
I don't know if your in the united stated but I got mine at a Radioshack for $499.99 plus tax. Also they have a trade and save program so i traded in my hd2 and got $95 for it so that helped a bit.
If you are not signing the contract, you can get Even More Plus unlimited plan for 59.99 and save 20$ per month.
1 yr in the off-contract, you would have saved 240$. Cheaper compared to the contract price. I got mine directly from tmo store for full price.
It's $80 a month for unlimited talk, text, and data. $60 is for talk only. Thing is if you use Google Voice for texting you don't need a text plan.
The 59.99 unlimited everything plan existed, but only for about a day before Tmo shut it down.
Its the same on or off contract right now $79.99.
The question really is $509 from Amazon or $149 with a contract (if the tmo ETF is $200 as I believe it still is).
Seems like off contract and pay $500 for a phone isnt cheaper anymore now that they dropped the contract plan to $79.99 also and the discount on the phone is more than the ETF.
I bought mine from amazon because tmobile refused to sell it to me w/o upgrading my plan. Im on an old g1 plan @ $59. So i ponied up the $509, and recieved a g2x a few days later. Unfortunately the one i got has screen bleed pretty badly so called amazon and they are sending out a replacement and labels to ship old one back for free. They also said i could wait up to 30 days to ship back the old one...pretty nice. So the one thing i can say about going with amazon is they have great customer service...at least for me.
I just refuse to pay 80 a month for phone service. Its just too rich for my blood.
At T-Mobile store I got no contract family plan for 2 lines for 110 750 minutes unlimited text and data. Also they offered 500 bucks credit with no apr which I used to get my g2x. So um paying 130 a month for unlimited without contract
Sent from my G2x
I bought mine Saturday from a T-Mobile store without a contract and use my Simple Mobile SIM in it, which does not require you to SIM unlock the phone since its still tied to T-Mobiles infrastructure. $60/month for unlimited talk,text and internet.
You do have to set a custom APN in order to get proper service.

If you cancel your plan, don't you also have to pay the difference between the full retail price of the phone and what you originally paid for it?

Do you really think T-Mobile and its sellers are not smart enough to do the math on this?
Read the contracts....here is what Amazon Wireless says:
$150.00 for phone
$ 35.00 for activation
$ 1.50 for taxes
$200.00 for T-Mobile early termination
$250.00 for Amazon wireless early termination
$636.50 vs $509 for just buying the phone without a contact....

Never heard of Simple Mobile until now. It seems like a great deal from looking at the website. So it's basically just like having T-Mobile service? What's the catch?
If you sign a contract with t-mobile and cancel, I know they make you either return the phone or pay the difference between what you bought it for and the full price of the phone. I'm not sure how long you have to be on the contract so they won't charge you that difference.
There is an even more plus plan that is $60/month with 500 min, m2m, unlimited text and web. Unless you need more minutes, that's a pretty good deal.

That sucks. I'm on EM+ $79 (1000 min, unlimited SMS/Data, 5gb cap).
Guess I better not change it any time soon.
I sold my Nexus One for $250. Bought the G2x outright. So $250 out of pocket.

Simple Mobile sounds amazing on the surface. The catch is that they lie about their "unlimited" plans. After 1 GB they throttle you. I've heard this in multiple places, but a quick Google search brings up many results:

Nah.
They just removed them from the website.
They did this to "reduce confusion". Iin reality, they just wanted to make people think that they're gone (and succeeded for the most part), so that people sign up for higher rate plans and 2 year contracts.

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.

i don't not see this on their website? also do you know if you already have a plan with them for 2 months, do you still have to pay the full price for the phone? for me they did a price match.
hey guys,
so father's day is coming, and we've screen the ad that says free phones with a new contract. If the HTC one S is included, I am planning to sign up for a new contract just for the phone, and then ETF.
From what I've read in other threads, I would sign up for a classic us t-mobile plan, get the phone, wait 1-2 months for the mail-in rebate to come in while I have to pay for service during those 2 months, and pay the $200 ETF as soon as I get the mail-in rebate.
Can someone confirm if this is true?
also, I am already in a T-mobile family plan. However, i am NOT the account holder. I am just one of the lines in the family plan. Will signing up and ETF'ing a brand new contract using my name in any way affect my current family plan?
Thank you very much

I can't answer all your questions, but I am part of a family plan. I am the account holder. Each person in the plan has their own upgrade date. You have to qualify for the upgrade so if you're already on there and they know your name, you may not qualify if you're not up for an upgrade. But I don't know how that works if you're getting your own plan.
I don't think it be a good idea, in order to get the rebate back they want you to get the 5gb internet at 35 bucks, plus you still have to pay the rate plan. 75 to 85 plus taxes depending on the rate plan. Rebate takes up to 10 weeks to come back so multiply that amount by atleast 3 months plus 35 activation fee. 250 for the HTC one s. Your getting close to the 500 dollars mark. Sure you got 250 back but was it really free? Not to mention whatever fee your getting charge in your family plan.

I didn't want to lose unlimited data because my kids are old enough to use tablets now and I wanted to have a hotspot in the car. Sprint does not work in my area. I called Verizon and told the rep I wanted 50 off the gs3 32gb.
Then I said I can walk into a store start a new line for 250 and then cancel the line the same day, pay 350 termination fee and be out 600 instead of 650. So please save me the trouble and just give me the 50 off.
I tried 4 times till I got it.
They don't have the ability to discount the phone but they can do a one time credit of 89.99 to your line. So after taxes and the 89.99 discount I paid 600 for the gs3 32 gb for vzw.

I didn't want to lose my unlimited data that I had for my original Dinc either so I added a line to our family plan and got the SGS3 (16gb) at Best Buy for $150 after they price matched wal mart. Then I swapped the SGS3 for an old basic phone (thus removing the data package) and then swapped the new SGS3 for my old Dinc and Voila, new SGS3 for $150 with unlimited data and my brother will just take over the new $10/month line when he moves back home in a couple months. Worked like a charm!!
I did't want to lose my unlimited data either. I was ready to upgrade from my Incredible, but was irritated about the $30 upgrade fee. I called to get the fee waived, but was told that couldn't be done. Instead, I was given a free month of service, which for me is $89.99, plus my $50 ne2 discount. I got a 32 GB for less than $250.00. It's still a lot of money and I had to pay the ridiculous upgrade fee, but I am thrilled to have the SGSIII on an unlimited data plan!
Yeah. Usually when you call and complain they give you credit. However, if you work for a company that gets Verizon discounts you can usually just use your work email and get the activation fees waived

I preorderd the device. On my receipt when I got the phone it said if I cancel within 2 years i could face a etf of up to 175.00. Did anyone else notice?.

Loving my unlimited data plan as wells. I just want to know if I tether a tablet or PC to my GS3 and really start burning some GB over 4G will Verizon see I am tethering by looking at the packets somehow and start dropping the hammer by rate-limiting the device?

I've never had a problem and some guy on the Rezound forums got to 1tb of data so I don't think so.

I get a discount through work where do you enter your email to get the fee waived?

Link below. Call once you get approved to get activation waived.
Verizonwireless.com/discounts
Or
https://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/support/employee-discount-email
Enjoy
**Edit** Calling is the only way to get fees waived outside of the stores. They usually have to submit the waiver for approval and then authorize it later.

I didn't want to lose my unlimited data that I had for my original Dinc either so I added a line to our family plan and got the SGS3 (16gb) at Best Buy for $150 after they price matched wal mart. Then I swapped the SGS3 for an old basic phone (thus removing the data package) and then swapped the new SGS3 for my old Dinc and Voila, new SGS3 for $150 with unlimited data and my brother will just take over the new $10/month line when he moves back home in a couple months. Worked like a charm!!

I tried to do that originally but the $10 a mo plans dont exist anymore, no for a non smartphone to share a plan (for my wife who is new to verizon) its $30 a month, the math didnt work
