tmobile data cap

blah sadly today tmobile capped by data, because i went over the`5gb limit. is there a way to uncap it, or at least does anyone have an idea?

It took me just a week to get my data capped. Its because id rather use my phone and get 8mbps instead of my home Internet which is sadly 0.4mbps. I don't think its possible to get the cap removed. Your going to have to wait till your next cycle.

I thought they just throttle it and not cap it?

GEEZ, what are on do you guys do to stream so much data? I've never hit close to that in a month

Lol i practically use my phone as a computer. I download things from games to music

I thought that for Unlimited Data they just drop you down to 3G after you've used 5GB on 4G.

It is my understanding that they throttle you pretty hard at 5 GB, to GPRS or EDGE speeds.
If you haven't deleted it, My Account will show your usage. I use 3G Watchdog which will straight-line predict your end-of-month usage as well.
For people not used to the speeds available, it isn't hard to chew up 5 GB in a month. For example, if you stream 128 kbps radio for an hour in the morning and an hour on the way home, that is about 3.3 GB of payload, so probably 3.5-4 GB of data transfer a month.
Thankfully TuneIn FCs a lot

Yea man they bone you pretty hard after you go past 5gb. I went from 4g to edge smh, I am aboit to calk and complain. I am pretty sure there was a way to get passed it on the vibrant, after things get settled for the galaxy s 4g I'm sure we will be able to do the same.

I thought it was 10gb?

Yeah I thought it was 10gb too but once I passed 5gb they sent me a message and throttled my speed to edge speeds.

Thats not worth it. Every carrier has a cap even if they advertise that they don't. I've read on the internet that on sprint people get throttled and maybe even get their accounts canceled going over a certain limit. I think tmobile's is the best option right now.

Thats wrong, Sprint is the only carrier with true unlimited. Although there data speeds are the worst of the big four. I barely got 1mbs on 3G and around 4mbs on 4G. When i could get a signal, witch sucks cause i live in KC. Sprints headquaters is here, I could no longer take the slow speeds and went back to tmo where i have 4G everywhere I go. Usually around 8mbs and i have 3G around 5mbs.

The war of words and facts continues with sprint preparing a new TV ad -- more of a campaign -- where CEO Dan Hesse goes on camera and defines the word "unlimited" and what concepts it is not compatible with.
These incompatible terms are "metering, overage, or throttling, which is code for slowing you down", Hesse says while Bill Morgan, sprint senior vice president-Corporate Marketing agrees that some of Sprint's competitors are creating confusion in their customer's minds by referencing "unlimited" plans which are not unlimited in reality.

Your prices are locked in as long as you stay with them. The prices may get even better now that together that will be bigger than Verizon and start trying to beat eachothers prices. Not to mention with any luck better service area. Still not that excited to see them merge.

Thanks a bunch

What do you think about at&t?

I've read a lot of post about at&t being a terrible network and blah blah blah. I want your opinion on it. I've been with at&t for a long time. I've been with them when was 'Cingular'. Now I've noticed since the atrix and inspire have came out, my network has been very inconsistent. Are you noticing this too? And is it enough to make you switch?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App

I'm generally happy with speeds and service. Minus the major spots (JFK, LAX, any sporting event) i've never had issues.

I too have been with them since cingular. I have noticed no change. Its the same service I had with my iphone. /Shrug
Ppl were complaining when I had that too But as far as Data was concerned it always worked. i could Stream movies or Sirius any time all day/night.
Still do/can. I don't use the phone part of my cell phones tho so I may have a skewed opinion. I think I currently have 4000+ Roll Over minutes

Ya if I paid for my bill id switch ATT sucks ass ill be on Verizon when my dad makes me start paying
ATT is a bunch of crooks I don't know why my dad puts up with it always some extra charges on there and they never take it off my dad had to call 3 times to get the 9.99 for ATT navigator off my line I kept telling my dad my phone doesn't even have that stupid app cuz I deleted all the bloatware
My girlfriend also works for a ATT call center and they teach them to slam and cram peoples accounts because they think no one will notice the goverment should of never let them buy out t mobile.
ATT got ride of there unlimited plan luckily im grandfathered in
But they put a cap on t mobile unlimited plan after they bought it I think its 5gb then u just get super slow speeds after that
There a giant corperation and there hungry for nickels and dimes
I suggest everyone who pUsh there ATT bill to take a close look at it
Oh one more thing there home dsl internet has a cap on it also 150 gb a month most people won't hit that ya bit if you have netflix streaming you'll hit it every month in my opinion alkida needs to pit there focus on blowing ATT up and not towers

ATT is very dirty you should hear half the stories my girlfriend tells me when she gets home
One person had 600$ in long distance charges all because they didn't have a 5$ a month plan
And the worst part is the lady didn't make any of the calls someone tapped into her line and wracked all that up here's another one
Customer calls and complains that he's being charged overages inhospitable cell phone bill for data when he presumed he had unlimited turns out some store employee changed his account to the 4gb plan when he came into the store to add a line. Theres a period ROFL bahahaha
Sorry but any company that puts a limit in the internet is f'd up in my book whether or not its cell phone or home phone its just flat out ridiculous PERIOD
And for anyone with ATT home service I bet you got a lil 5$ a month service line protection plan on your bill and I bet if you ask to remove it'll still be there or it will be back in a matter of time.
They teach their (yes I do know the difference ) employees to slam and cram all kinds of Crap service plan just one of many little extra charges you will catch on your bill

Thanks for all the replys guys but i won't be switching anytime soon because in my area (southern California) I have good signal and decent speeds. Sprint doesnt have good signal(in my area), Verizon is too expensive for me and t mobile isnt in the picture. When at&t and t mobile merge fully, we will be the national largest 4G network so why switch now?

I really haven't had any problems out of them. Of course, I'm not the one paying the bill either. Lol. If I have a problem my mother-in-law can get it corrected with no questions asked. If I was using mobile data more than WiFi, my speeds wouldn't be that drastically different. D/l speeds are around 3.5 mbps, both mobile and WiFi. U/l speeds are 1.5 mbps on mobile, and .3 mbps on WiFi. I had iWireless prior to being added to the account, which runs on the Sprint network, and out here in T county TN, Sprint's service is terrible. With ATT, I actually get service at places that Sprint doesn't cover. My opinion is, after researching plan options from ATT and Verizon, that with the new data plans, Verizon is the most money hungry carrier of em all. 100 dollars for 5gbs per month? At least ATT you get 2gbs for only 30 dollars. With the options we currently have with ATT, if we got the same thing with Verizon, we would be charged over 300 dollars a month.

There has been no big change. Been with AT&T since 2000>>Cingular>>AT&T. If anything this backhaul thing is an improvement in my area. I get good customer service, albeit with Enterprise Customer Care...and yes they still try to cram stuff I don't need at me. I think most sales peeps are like that. I just take it upon myself to withstand the onslaught. There have been times I have found stuff on my bill that I didn't want / believe I asked for. Just call them up, and they have retro'd my bill every time with usually no fuss, and usually an apology. I can be down with that. Due diligence and direct/firm/clear and not a-holish communication goes a long ways in my experience...

Yeah, $30 is how much they charge us for the 2gb plan around here, which is around the Memphis area. I've just got the $15 200mb data plan as I only use data on WiFi exclusively. You have the "true" unlimited that ATT used to have. Users who had the plan back in their iPhone days, prior to upgrading to the Inspire, won't see their unlimited data capped. I think they feel it would be bad business to cap the data of former and current iPhone users with the old unlimited data plan. Good thing you got it when they still offered it.

no fair i was on t-mobiles $20/month plan with 10gb/month and they 'changed' the plan without notice. so now i'm stuck with 5gb...

I'm only at about 1g use right now, work and home wifi (poor signal area) has been keeping my mobile data use down since I got this phone. I'll probably use about 3gigs next month though. Btw, I can see this thread creating some tension with those who don't have unlimited.

No wonder why they are eliminating unlimited, what the heck do you do on your phone to use 28Gb? (tethering i assume)

haha nice. last semester in college, my wired connection wasn't working so i had to 'illegally' tether my atrixs' hspa+ for a week. used about 15gb in a week to watch live streams of the us open. thank god for unlimited data

with the extra ram this phone makes actual real life data speeds sooooo much faster than my other lte phones could do. I'm at 39 gigs so far with billing cycle ending the 29th. And that's without even having the gs3 the whole time, wonder what ill get to next month? Btw no tethering here, I just really like watching HD video
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Not too bad methinks..

I have to laugh at all the people who say a few of us who use high amounts of data is why a carrier will remove unlimited data for everyone. So they feel bitter at us for ruining it for everyone else and would rather blame us than their service provider, since its easier.
Oh please, don't you think these carriers would have just throttled or kicked off us few users, instead of forcing tiered plans on all their customers? Its all because of further maximizing profit, not because of us.

Doesn't bother me at all, I still have unlimited data just can't see how people are able to use that much data on a phone in a month.
Must have to have the phone plugged in all the time.
Most I have ever been able to do is 13 GB. I really had to try for that though.

Since July 9th.:
554 MB on Verizon
Since June 24th:
5.58 GB over wi-fi

all sarcasm aside, has anyone ever actually had a problem with using verizons network that can be attributed to data hogs? this isnt 2007 and im not in att using an iphone. big deal, i use a lot of data that i pay for so what. any other user on verizon canuse the exact same amoutn of data as i choose to use bc verizon doesnt throttle the 4g speeds, youll just have to pay more than my price for it. dont hate those of us lucky enough to use all the data we want without paying any overage unless you also go around hating every verizon employee for getting a company discount on the same sevice you pay for. also, those of us on verizon who no longer have the unlimited data plan have access to a discount on upgrades that the unlimited users dont have the smae access to but we sure dont go around flaming others for only having to pay $199 for our $599 phones. every thing is a trade off

Yay for forced data limits/throttle in the future. Vzw doesn't guarantee any "grandfathering". It says right in the contract they can change terms on you and it gives you a free out to go to other carriers. The whole –look at what I can do is quite childish. Whatever.

A guy over on the Rezound forums hit 1TB. I'm sitting at about 9GB this month.
And for the people bleating about this being why they did away with unlimited data--no. Just shut up. They did it out of pure greed. LTE is cheap, and for every person using 30gb there's 10 people using 500mb. Verizon might be losing money on some customers, but in the aggregate, they were still making money hand over fist, even with unlimited data. But they can make more with shared/tiered. Guess which they went with?

I'm normally around wifi except when I go workout so I rarely break 2gb. Even so I have no problems with data hogs. I've worked a number of years at an isp and I can tell you data hogs are not the problem unless if the network engineers are total idiots. A properly managed network will prevent heavy users from bogging down the network during peak usage.
But many of you guys buy right into the carrier's manufactured bandwidth crisis so they can justify charging $15 per gb.

[Q] Sprint or Verizon

I have an interesting decision to make. Sprint is cancelling my account because I overran my roaming minutes for several months, apparently since I started a new job in a low coverage area. I tried explaining that I received no warning about it while the heavy usage was occurring, and that I could easily change the settings on my phone to limit roaming data usage, but apparently the decision is final. They were nice enough to offer waiving the ETF, but the rep said that the only way I could continue using Sprint was if I started a new account. For better or worse, I'm not under contract come Nov. 1.
Now here's what I'm pondering. I really like Sprint's value with unlimited data at a low price, and I don't really mind their low speed connection and OK coverage, so I did consider just restarting a new account. But Verizon is enticing me with better coverage and LTE. On top of that, I own a Photon 4G, one of the phones that qualify for Motorola's $100 upgrade rebate, which I could use to get what is now a very seductive Razr Maxx HD. The only thing stopping me is the cost of Verizon data plans. But I really haven't decided yet.
What should I do? Is there a way for a cheapskate to reconcile with Verizon? Is Sprint's service worth the squeeze?

Verizon all the way... Cost of data plans are worth it considering level of service and device selection is better in my opinion. Sprint will end unlimited soon anyways just like everyone else.

I like Verizon coverage, it's the best out of any of the other carriers I have had, but I don't like the fact they kicked the boot loader on my s3 and that they are basically blocking Google wallet.

Sprint definitely has the slowest data. Verizon is the best carrier all around but for its excellent coverage and speeds you get high prices.
Depends all on what you want, to be honest. Since you pretty much get what you pay for.

Vzw gsiii $0 etf

So I searched through the forums for this, and didn't see anything so I figured I'd make a new topic....
I'm currently on a family plan, and I got my GS3 this summer on day one as I had preordered it to save my unlimited data...
However, for a multitude of reasons, I'm strongly considering closing my line off of the family plan and getting my own plan on ATT.
When I got my GS3, my receipt said $0 for the ETF, as did a number of other people I remember seeing around release time.
I'm curious, has anyone who had the $0 ETF canceled or heard of anyone who also had it canceling their plan with no charge?

Out of curiosity why Att? Not only will you not get unlimited data, the service is not as good as Verizon. I know because I came from them after 3 years of putting up with slow 3g and then getting threatened to have my plan switched and throttled without my permission. The only thing I miss from them is cheaper plan and not trying to lock down phones like Verizon which is the one thing that might drive me away eventually.

T-Mobile's HSPA+ speeds are only good in certain areas. You'll hit a lot of dead zones and be on EDGE a lot more than you will be on AT&T.

I can confirm this. Switched from T-Mobile to Verizon because of frequent dropped calls and their data coverage is horrible unless you live in a good size city. Plan prices were the best though.

Also their LTE is running on 2 different bands I beleive. My friend has an iPhone 5 and we compared speeds using the speedtest app. Mine was pulling 25DL while his was only getting about 5DL. I may be wrong about the bands but I sure made fun of that speed. Especially since Verizon lte is already carrying a heavier load than att's lte which is still kinda new

I can also confirm this. I used to be on T-Mobile 2 year ago and there were a lot of moments where I couldn't even call or text a friend at all. Switched to Verizon and all of those issues vanished. Haven't regretted my switch ever since

Usually they charge you when you break your contact, unless your close to it being over they may let you go. Depends on which kind of service Rep you get.
