I have seen the $10 unlimited EDGE data plan in the email I got from AT&T after upgrading my phone.

I'm pretty sure it's for non smartphones.

Wha? What's this.

I've seen the $15 for 200mb data plan.. I use average of 3gb a month so that's a no go for me..

The $15/month unlimited data feature is supposed to only be for QMP's (Quick Messaging Phones), since it's basically just a MediaNet perk.

You can try enabling the $15/mo plan by doing the following:
Find yourself a really old phone that has medianet capabilities. Put your sim card in it and wait a couple hours for ATT's network to recognize the IMEI. Go online and manage your account's features and change your data plan to $15/mo unlimited MediaNet plan. Take SIM card out, put in android phone and celebrate. I've done this trick before on other phones a while back and I'm not sure if ATT has fixed this bug or not but it always worked without a hitch and they never caught it.

I had the 15 unlimited data on my non smartphone. Then I got this phone and the sim did not work in it. So I got a 4g sim. But I forgot that you could if you changed the APN.

I had the $10 unlimited data plan with my fuse and tilt2 up until I upgraded to this phone last month. I'm confused as to why the letter says Congrats on your new inspire and offers me a dumb phone data plan and I'm secretly hoping it might be a loyalty or secret data plan haha. I still haven't called them yet but I will definitely update you guys once I do.
And you don't even have to wait a few hours to do the sim trick. Last time I did it, I just popped it in my old phone and called them and gave them the imei for that phone. Worked like a charm for 2 years until I had to upgrade and change my data plan to get this phone (which ultimately I got for free lol).

hahahah i'm sorry i'll do it first thing in the morning tomorrow, it's been a busy day. Tomorrow morning, I promise!

I have had this since 1997. The down side is that I had to do it with a WinMo phone for too long.
Sent from my CM7 Inspire 4G with that special XDA app.

The long awaited update...but it won't satisfy.
So I called ATT a little while back (ironically I had an issue where I couldn't dial numbers for half an hour, even after pulling the sim, so I couldn't even dial ATT's number!). After I got that sorted out, I asked about the letter. I mentioned that it specifically says my name and phone (Inspire 4g) on it so it was directly mentioning my phone and not sent for another line in my family...all of us have smartphones anyways. she put me on hold for some time and came back and basically reviewed all the data plans with me (something i was already aware of......) and said they don't offer that plan. After a little more of bugging her that it was sent to ME with MY PHONE and said $15 unlimited data, she said that I can fax in a copy of it to customer service and that they would research it and get back to me within 3-7 business days.
Basically it's getting sent to someone else to review and research. I'llkeep you guys posted and see if i can wiggle my way into a custom data plan

I don't have exact answers per se, but as an AT&T Mobility employee I have some advice and some warnings.
Advice: It would be much better to get a "4G" SIM instead of the GoPhone one, just in case this causes any issues.
When you go activate the SIM, take another, non-smartphone, phone with you and say that that's what you will use. We will put the non-smartphone IMEI in the system and it will allow you to get the $50 unlimited talk,text, and web.
Once you have the "4G" SIM activated, and the non-smartphone IMEI registered, put the SIM in the Inspire. Now, the seemingly difficult part.
Warning: You MUST find the APN settings for our feature phones somewhere, if you can't, I will try to find them for you. The reasoning behind this is that more then likely the "web" included on the $50 package is only one the feature phone APN, instead of the smartphone one.
Secondly, don't be surprised if one day you stop having internet connectivity. As we do with our postpaid customers, we also have a system for prepaid that sweeps every IMEI used and applies (or in your case, removes) the appropriate data packages.
I know that our prepaid data packages are a ripoff, but this is one way to do it, if only temporarily.
P.S. Where did you hear it would only be EDGE? That seems incorrect to me.

So if I am understanding this right, the phone must be rooted, and the APN needs to be changed to reflect a featured phone data plan instead of the smartphone data plan that the droid is expecting to use. Along with using a 4G simcard, that should be it right? The apn settings are all over the internet, i just read them, its like wap.cingular.com or something, but whats this sweeping system you speak of, does it compare the sim card over the air to the imei its 'registered with' opposed to the imei of the phone its installed in?

It will work just fine stock. I have been running prepaid for awhile now and have not had a single issue. The apns will set on their own to the proper ones once you insert your similar card.
And they are right att dies sweep the IMEI but it doesn't matter as I gave reps my IMEI when I got the inspire and swapped my account from my old captivate. Also I font use a data plan as I am normally around wifi at all times. The only backdraw is if you have less then $5 on your account the data won't connect. ATT can't stop you from having any phone you want on prepaid. They tried with the IPhone and a lawsuite ended that.

Except, data speeds are kinda slow and the "Unlimited Data" on the $60/Mo plan is actually capped at 3GB..

so what happens after you reach the "cap"

Im actually using an Inspire via GoPhone. I have been for a few months. I just went to a local att store and simply bought a simcard, some airtime, and activated that sim card, popped it in and voila! I dont recommend buying a cheap GoPhone and using the sim out of that because recently, att decide to start locking the sim that comes with that phone to that specific phone. I made that mistake the first time and found it out the hard way.
I only have the $25/mo plan and i buy a $25 data package when needed. I dont use a lot of data, since I have wifi available most of the time.

Throttle Fix 100% works every phone

Okay this requires you to have another IMEI number so if you have a Infuse you will need either a iPhone a BlackBerry or a LTE phone's IMEI number
Call AT&T tell them you need to update your IMEI # and update the Unlimited Data plan to the Unlimited Data plan for that phone. I used a Skyrocket IMEI for NY Infuse they took a few minutes updating it and once I got off the phone I went into Airplane mode and out of Airplane mode and had full speeds again.
Everytime you are throttled call back give them the old IMEI # and have them update the Data Plan again for full speeds!
No need to change your APN!
Hit Thanks if this helps you!
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App

This is a SERIOUS security concern that the govt. doesn't deal with easy. IMEI numbers are used to track phones, esp when they want to point in on law breakers.
I would NOT suggest anyone doing this.
One reprieve is that you are not physically changing the IMEI of your device. But I am still unsure of how ethical this is.
Edit: Also, if I am not wrong, IMEI number is transmitted every time you place or receive a call.

Yes but if you own the phone

Yeah. And then you will get the email telling you to stop tethering and then if you don't you will be pushed through to the tethering plan.
Optimus, I think that bbs are different. There plans are weird. For instance, you can tether to a playbook and whatnot.

Just change IMEI's to another device of yours that has a different data plan as long as its a smart phone it'll fix it
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App

The other issue to think about is that there are different data plans, even for the same level. For example, there is a $30 3GB smartphone 3G plan, $30 3GB iPhone plan, $30 3GB iPhone 4S plan, $30 3GB smartphone 4G plan, etc. They may all seem the same to you, but when your bill comes you could end up with pro-rated charges for each one.

Simple answer: Use the phone data plan as a phone data plan, and not as replacement to home internet.
Whatever you do, you'll get caught one way or other. And changing IMEI's can have really bad consequences, even if you own the other device. Just saying.

Nothing illegal about switching your SIM to another phone and having AT&T update their database with the correct data plan. The government couldn't care less about this since you're not cloning or changing the IMEI of the phones.

So you work for a phone store? Hmm.. Do you have the phone that ATT (I asdumr) gives you. And that's hilarious. Tell him to put a fan over it, turn it sideways and take the battery cover off. It cools it down real fast. I had to take the battery cover off after watching an or so of the Mentlist.. . On my phone. Not tethering.

Today is the first of the month. Is this an old trick or did you just try it today? Because if you just tried it today.... well, you know.

it resets after i turn the screen off (also cuts data connectivity as per my custom settings with root apps), but it works every time if i do it, download something, and shut the screen off.

My billing does not cycle on the 1st. I believe it differs for everyone.

It worked, and stayed on my phone even after reboot.

After I turn back on lte/GSM auto it says LTE for a few seconds then the radio restarts and when it comes back it only says 4G and not LTE. I ran speed test then and its no better then I cycle airplane mode to get LTE back and still no difference what kind of speeds do you guys get once your throttled? I do only get 4 bars of LTE but once I'm throttled I can only hit .54 down and 1 up. That's just ridiculously slow, anything internet based is unusable at those speeds.
Also the worst part is I did a speed test before trying this and I hit 6Mbps now I can't get it back

I have a way of getting past throttling but you won't be able to use visual voicemail. Basically what you do is switch between the unlimited data plan and unlimited data plan with visual voicemail. They're the same plan except one has visual voicemail and one doesn't. When you're throttled, call att and ask to be switched to the unlimited data plan with visual voicemail(or data plan without visual voicemail if you already have it). They'll switch you over and your data resets. It's a pain in the ass calling in every time you're throttled but it's better than being throttled. I've been using this forever and mentioned it a few times on these forums but i think it's too tedious for some.

I'm at 8.3GB with still a week to go and no throttling yet. I'll give this a try If I get throttled at all. so far, I'm getting full LTE speeds.

[Q] AT&T Throttling My Data?

I have had my Nexus 5 since the beginning. I am on AT&T of course. I pulled the sim from my HTC One XL and put it into the 5. No problems. Up until this week I think. Speedtest will not go above 0.56Mbps. I am in Houston with plenty of LTE service. I check my At&T account and they have changed the logo above my phone number. It used to show Android HTC. So, I figure that Att has figured out that i am not using "their" phone. I call them up and they say that the IMEI's do not match. The tech guy was cool. He said he was trying to help me. That nothing was going to change. He did a few things but no dice. I wasnt sure if i was supposed to tell Att anything as they might ruin my chances at having good service with an unlocked phone. Anyway, i have restored my phone, changed APNs, and now I dont know what to do.

I don't know but just curious does your accrual signal say LTE?
I didn't tell att when I switched from an iPhone. LTE was still fine

I just gave them my IMEI number and it all worked fine. I have a grand fathered unlimited plan too that was unaffected. I think Google made sure their phone would work with at&t.

I tried the Tellinfo app. What am I looking for? My signal strength is -106. It used to be around -85. I have tried the ATT PHONE APN and the ATT LTE PTA APN. Both are working the same. ATT is supposed to call back today. He said after resetting the phone, the last two efforts would be to send a new sim, and if that doesnt work, then its my phone. Now, I'm pretty sure it's not the phone. I also didnt have an option for Edge. THere was EvDo.

Well you do know if your on the Unlimited Data Plan on AT&T you get throttled down to about that speed after hitting 5GB .... .

Its probably data cap 5GB throttle city. It happened to me. I called ATT and they confirmed I was at 8GB for the month and had to wait till cycle flipped. After flip flying at "super fast" ATT speeds again.

You can always use the wap.cingular APN. Wont get LTE just 3G but you will be unthrottled Thats what I do! Which in my small town I get 10-11mbps down on 3G

I am on the Unlimited data plan. I didnt realize they would throttle me after 5mbs. I havent done any downloading of custom roms yet. I used to use data like crazy with my One XL and I never noticed any loss of data. I will try the cingular APN just for shiz. Thanks.
EDIT: I checked with ATT and yeah, my cycle ends either on the 7th or 8th and I have used about 6mb. So, fingers crossed for next week.

I just gave them my IMEI number and it all worked fine. I have a grand fathered unlimited plan too that was unaffected. I think Google made sure their phone would work with at&t.

You're lucky. I'm using my N5 on T-Mobile and I lost my grandfathered unlimited plan. I had no data (but emails and SMS worked ... strange). After a week of communications and testing tech support claimed that the N5 was not compatible with the grandfathered plan (it did show up in my account on the website as Unknown with unlimited data). After upgrading to a metered plan my service is excellent.

Can you confirm what plan and rom you're on? I'm on unlimited lte plan and I USED to be able to do this but since switching to the Nexus 5 they won't even let me connect via wap.cingular on the nexus 5 (even on 3g). I have no problem doing this on my nexus 4 or my i9100 gsII, but either the nexus 5 or att has been blocking me since

Well you do know if your on the Unlimited Data Plan on AT&T you get throttled down to about that speed after hitting 5GB .... .

That's what T-Mobile does on its grandfathered plans after 4.5 GB and on its new metered plans after you exceed your plan limit. Great, huh?
