Anyone w/ an Infuse + grandfather data?

My mother got and Infuse yesterday and i was over at her house playing with it with my sim in. after i was done i took my sim out and put it back in my fuze (shudder). this morning just as i was leaving the house for the day i got a text message from AT&T telling me that "An eligible data plan is required for your 4g Smartphone. We have added an appropriate data plan. Learn more at att.com/smartphoneplans."
so i disabled data and when i went into my acct on the web when i got home, sure enough the only data feature options i could choose were the new tiered data plans. i had to put my sim in my old ooooooold tmobile MDA for an hour or so until it updated the imei and then i could go back and choose the unlimited data option.
is this normal? if i upgrade to an infuse will that cancel my grandfather'd status? has anyone else grandfather'd updated and kept their data plan? if so how? and if i upgrade through best buy or amazon at the discounted price will i be allowed to keep it or do i have to go to an att store and pay the full upgrade price?

This has happened to a few people on the forums (lost the unlimited when it switched them to 4g) but it shouldn't. Call 611 or go into a store and they can fix it for you. You can have unlimited 4g with you grandfathered plan its just apparently sometimes putting people back to the 2gb.

I was able to keep my unlimited..
sent from Infuse but miss my captivate on cont. 5.5.... One day this can be as good...

They make it a hassle, but you can keep your unlimited data.

I got the Inuse at Best Buy and they let me keep my unlimited data without any issues. Before that I had bought the Atrix at Best Buy and had no problems either. The rep just said he was going to switch me to unlimited 4G cause the 4G plan is a bit different.

thanks all of you

the issue that occured is that our at&t systems have different classification data plans.
ie: one for blackberries, one for general smartphones (android/palm/symbian/winmo ect), iphone, and hspa+ devices. the fuse is a general classification smartphone so the message was saying that when you put your sim card in the infuse as it is a hspa+ phone, your data might not work correctly, hence the text message to change your data plan. if you go into a cor store, any rep should be able to continue your grandfathered unlimited status.

No issues here, I still have my unlimited plan...

If they try to do that, call customer care, let them know you have grandfathered unlimited data, they will file a case to change it back. They "accidentally" did that when they provisioned our sim cards for 4g when my wife and I got our Inspire's...

Hell yeah if they remove it I woukd transfer my four family plan to Sprint, now sprint has the same customer service as verizon up date according to recent survey.

When you call ATT tell them it's called SmartPhone Personal.

Tell them you want to keep the unlimoted plan. Some reps may say you can't but you Can. Dont ttake no for an answer.

I'm a Rep with att. Just shoot to a store and do it. We are MORE than happy to switch you to the unlimited HSPA+ PLAN because its more commission for us. I switch it all the time!

Ok so i duno if im getting the rite plan now. Looked online and im getting Smart unlimited..$30 .. But under that u can choose something with 4g.. Also when i click on smart unlimited this windows pops up. Whats "gold list"

It still possible to get an unlimited plan even if you weren't grandfather by iphone or something? I only had the option for 200mb for $15 or the 2gb for $25 and no option for unlimited.

ok, i have a question for you, i'm planing on getting an infuse on upgrade, selling that and getting a gs2. if i go back to the $30 unlimited plan when i upgrade after getting the gs2 would i be able to switch back to the cheaper unrecognized imei data plan that i'm on now?

if YOU don't choose to change to another plan, you stay grandfathered. I am still unlimited. If you choose to go to another plan because its cheaper and later decide to use tons of data, you cant go back. If your plan was automatically changed, let CS know. they have the ability to override and re-authorize unlimited.

If they switch me to the H+ unlimited from regular old unlimited will I be able to still use my sim in my HD2? Thanks!
Also has anyone bought from Amazon. How did you go about keeping your unlimited? Just sign up for one of the available plans and then call and have it switched back?

Grandafthered plan
I have grandfathered $30 real unlimited on infuse - only thing changed is 4G addition to it. I understand that they need to classify plans somehow but i do not believe that 4G changes anything related to connection speed. I live in Portland,OR area and eventhough ATT coverage is good localy there are still no real 4G speeds. I tried Inspire, Atrix and now Infuse and none of them went over 2.5Mbps download and 0.5Mbps upload -EVER.
All their bogus stories about 4G cards and 4G dataplans are fairytales --- GSM phone needs provisioned (active) SIM Card of any type, proper APN setup, and reciever able to decode given 3G /4G frequency bands. With such combination you can connect to any GSM network (provided roaming is enabled too). So you can switch SIM cards from phone to phone regardless of data plan in their system.
I was landing on PDX airport in 2009 from Frankfurt, had my N95 with Vodafone prepaid SIM in it and as soon as I turned it on, it autoconfigured and locked to Tmobile 3G network as I still had some money on it to use data and calls. I was also using one ATT SIM card with same data plan (switching to and from ) Iphone3Gs, HTC Touch Pro2, Nokia N97 and unlocked Motorola Defy. Never had single issue...
On the other hand, after being AT&T, Cingular, at&t customer for 10+ years, I am starting to wonder is their service generally worth the money I pay every month.
My bill is for 4 phones;
unlimited family text,
1400min,
real unlimited data plan for Infuse,
real unlimited data plan for Iphone,
2 unlimited data for non smartphones for kids ($10 each)
Total: ~$220 every month....
I was recently looking into Virgin Mobile plans and they give $40 unlimited calls, messages and data. For $25 you get unlimited calls, messages and 20 megs of data (for kids...and my kids use barely any data)
Now that would cut my phone bill about ~$100/month ($1200/year)
Problem is that my dear wife would let go of the Iphone only from her dead cold hands...and she is using it like it is Apache server ~ 10Gig/month
I know I am going off topic but regardless grandfathered or not, my data plan on ATT costs only $10 less then all unlimited package on Virgin mobile.
I am aware that they do not have fancy phones as ATT but honestly ATT does not have a near selection of good phones as Verizon or T-mobile...and lesser data speeds too.
Now I wanted some opinions on my thoughts to switch carriers (and just to let you know I never used anything but GSM since i got my first cell phone in 1993 in Hamburg Germany where I am originally from)

[Q] $10 upgrade to 4g??? WTF!!!!

Got a call from T-mobile today saying i owed $300+ for text messaging fees, apparently when i bought the g2x from amazon, it upgraded to 4g data plan and removed my data+unl text android plan, got things cleared up and restored my old data plan back, but the Rep said if i wanted 4g data service there would be an extra $10 charge a month on top of my Android data plan, so it wold of came out to $40+ instead of $30....
First off this aint Sprint for an extra 10 surcharge on 4g, I have a Regular Vibrant and the G2X and both hit the same speeds, so i said no to the 4g data plan and keep my android data/text plan.
Has anyone else heard of this?????????? any Tmo reps care to comment????

Thats odd. T-mobile charges the same for 3g as they do for 4g

Thats what i thought but according to the rep i spoke too, to get 4g data plan I had to drop my data/unl text plan and get the 4g plan (no text) and i would stay at $30, or keep my data/text and add 4g speed for 10$ more....
so according to the Rep
$30 3g data/unl text (my OG plan)or
$30 4g + $15 unl text

No charge for 4g

Back when I got my daughter her G2 she came from some other phone that had some kind of bundled text messaging plan. The store I bought the G2 from didn't add text messaging to the plan with the G2. We've had unlimited texting the several year we've had the account and it's never been an issue before with a new phone.
So the next month I got a $1700 phone bill. My daughter texts a lot.
After the red haze went away, the pounding in my chest subsided, and I picked myself up off the floor, I went back to the store. They immediately saw what happened and called in and fixed it. No problems since.
Not exactly your situation I know, but they should fix an honest mistake.

Just go with your OG plan. There's no difference between 3G/4G. It's marketing. They don't have a way of controlling it per line anyways.

My thoughts exactly, just say you'll stick with 3G. The 4G on T-Mobile is HSPA+ so basically 3G with a turbo. But as far as I know there is no way to switch off HSPA+ without also switching off HSPA, and then you'll get EDGE speeds which is not what your paying for and can raise a stink about it if that does occur.

Ya I agree with everyone else, that rep must of been dumb or confused or maybe they did change it but I highly doubt that, when i switched over to 4g it was no price change. The rep told me it's basically the same plan, just phones that can do 4g will gt the 4g speeds and those who can't stay on 3g, that is all

Will Unlocking the phone let us use the 9.99 web2go plan on it without upgrading to the $30 plan?

Really? Because I get 15- 20 mbps download speed and so do lots of other cities. My hspa+ is faster than my Cox internet.
Soo what do you consider 4g?

Ignore this troll. He's sort of right though. In the strictest sense the "4G" branding in the US is for marketing only. It doesn't actually meet the speed requirements set by the ITU. If you want to read more look here 4G - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yeah I get 11 down 2 up myself. It's much faster than Att and feels more stable than verizon or sprint (friends and family complain...is it me or do CDMA phones seem to have more robot voice issues). Yeah these are 4g speeds...at least my phone has beaten my buddy's Evo 4g in a speedtest.net. Yay cell phone drag racing!!!!

I like TMO's customer service. Maybe 1 out of 5 calls, I get someone that stumbles around, but for the most part.. I do receive knowledeable and friendly people that have been very good to me.
Except last week, I got a new hire? I said, "I cannot find on my bill at my.tmobile.com a way to see my itemized breakdown of charges for apps." The rep: "We can see it here, do you have a pen to write them down?" I said, "I want to know where I can physically see it myself on my monthly online bill." She said, "Well, they are...<started to read them off>." lol. "Ma'am, I want to know where this is itemized on my online bill so I can see it myself." Her, "it's on your paper statement." Me: "I don't get paper statements, I said I'm on my.tmobile.com trying to find the itemized listing." She puts me on hold.. comes back. "These are the ones we see.. <she starts to read them off again>." lol.
It was like an Abbott and Costello skit. Finally, while on the phone.. I hit the "print bill" link... and the page that came up shows everything broken down.
"Never mind ma'am, I found it myself." Her, "ok.. would you like upgrade?" me: "What kind of an upgrade? Any free upgrades?" Her, "upgrades to your service." Me: *click*. lol

its just 3g+...LTE isn't even real 4g

Frankly, when you can stream video at full 1080p resolution and still have bandwidth leftover, I really don't see the point in hemming and hawing over the fact that you don't get "real" 4g speeds.

thats why I'm sticking with tmo, besides their 4g is faster than my at&t home fastest speed available wi fi

that old data plan is grandfathered so for unlimited web plus txt it would work out to $40 with the new options. Just a mistake on her end. It requires a supervisor/loyalty to put that unlimited web + txt plan back on.

Anybody getting that $30 unlimited text/4g and 100 minutes deal?

The minute I save up enough to buy my Sidekick 4G, I'm heading for this deal.
Right here.
A quick little excerpt
The new flexible and affordable plan will provide Walmart customers with access to America’s Largest 4G Network™. In a survey of Walmart customers, approximately 60 percent cited that having a high-speed data network was a key factor in the purchase of a wireless service plan. With this new offering, available for $30 per month and no annual contract, customers can enjoy unlimited Web, with the first 5 GB at up to 4G speeds; unlimited text; and 100 minutes of talk, with 10 cents per minute after the first 100 minutes.

Thought I might add that this will work with any 4G enabled T-Mo phone... just that you would have to pay the no contract price for the phone.

Nice find dude! That is actually worth cancelling my contract for, I barely use any minutes and pay about $60 a month now. if I cancel it's like $200 but I will be saving $30 a month so:
30x18= 540- 200= $340 of savings and no contract!!

Tnx dude for telling us. I am definately going to switch to that plan!!!!

I'm actually shocked you guys didn't hear about it. I heard about it a while (I posted the article on my FB the 3rd) ago, but I posted it here to make conversation. I'm glad you guys were notified, because this is a killer deal imo.

so let me get thiz straight if u want that deal you have to go to walmart only to get it?

See, that's I'm not entirely sure about. It does say Exclusively at Walmart and it;s online store, as well as T-Mo's website, but how will you get the SIM card? Will it be shipped out to you?

I guess well just have to wait and see on the 16th. I'm going to go to a walmart store and check online nd see if I get it.

That is exactly me! I never owned a 4G/3G phone before (I have the LX before they canned data, now it' sucks ) but I know I'm a HEAVY texter and I love to use data.
I asked my friend, who is on Sprint with the Evo if he uses 5GB/m, and he said he averages 3~4GB, so I know 5GB will probably be more than enough for me (Esp since there's wifi for data hogging things like video streaming)
And when I'm at home, I can just use the home phone, thus saving me on the 100 minutes when people like your girlfriend wanna "Hear your voice" -__-

wow great find! That's not a bad deal for people who don't talk as much as they text!

So how do I go about getting this now?

I haven't heard anything about that, I don't think they have caught on to it yet (they are just catching up to tethering and that's been around since 2008 on the G1) I know google voice works good, the one thing they said is you might not get as good of reception on prepaid because they borrow towers but I live in the city and get good 4g where I live/work, I think he might've been BSing me to get me to not cancel my contract though

Almost left AT&T Today

If you have unlimited data, beware! They tried to get me on a capped data plan after upgading to the skyrocket. The floor manager was saying they dont have anything in the system for unlimited LTE, so i would need to switch to the 2GB plan. After *****ing and talking to the highest floor manager, she was finally "able" to find a data code that would allow me unlimited LTE and still get my corporate discount.
I then proceeded to complain about the phone being $100 less in other markets and after some heavy complaining, i got the $100 credited to my account.
Its sad that a customer of 7 years, whos has unlimited data for over 3 years and has multiple lines had to work so hard to ge what i would call "fair". Hour of my life wasted, but atleast they came through.

Glad you got it in the end. I went to a corporate store and I didn't have to say anything and I got the 150 price point and they switched me to LTE unlimited without me asking.

Don't worry..they'll get their way in the end..they throttle you to 100kbps once you hit 5gigs...so you are essentially in a tiered plan anyway.

In general, AT&T has horrible customer service. Especially compared to Verizon. I almost left AT&T couple of times myself. I guess you get what you pay for.

Not real true. It is not 5GB. I am over 6 GB now BUT I did get the warning SMS. It is based on the top 5% of data usage. This only applies to unlimited plans.

Yes, i went to a corporate store. Its the only place that knows how to handle my corporate discount. The phone is $250 in phoenix. And we don't have LTE.
I also got the throttling text not even 24 hours after I got the phone. I used 9.8GB last month, but it was all on my N1. I average 8-10GB per month as I stream a lot and not around wifi. I never got a warning about my data usage in the past.

I have an infuse 4g currently. If I buy a skyrocket from Craigslist and put my SIM in it, would it automatically show me an option for unlimited LTE data in my OLAM?? Or, do I have to call them. I just hate calling customer service. Thanks to Amazon, xda, and slickdeals, I've dropped in-person shopping altogether. Costco remains an exception mainly because of milk, eggs, and car tires.

Surprisingly Google maps doesn't use a lot of data unless running in satellite mode. Pandora and Netflix are culprits. Just FYI for those who fear capping. On a sseparate note, how's the Pandora/Netflix performance after getting capped??
I read in another thread that if you get capped, you can switch to another apn, 4g hspa apn, or 3g apn, and you are not throttled until you hit top 5% in that apn. Useful info for people getting throttled.

actually the unlimited data plan would pay the authorized retailer more since it has a higher monthly charge... just because its an authorized retailer doesnt meant they are going to rip you off. Actually if you want to get picky about it, you are more likely to get screwed in a Corp. store due to their crazy quotas they have to hit each month to keeps their jobs unlike most retailers that dont have quotas..... I know this how.... I have worked for both.... do stay away from the kiosks in malls.... those guys are VErY shady....lol

Hey, I got the AT&T text within 48 hrs of owning the Skyrocket. Maybe a system glitch. With the infuse i was using anywhere from 12 to 13gb of data. I am barely at 3 gb and they already sent me a text. Has anyone been throttled?. What are the speeds your are getting?. I am in a LTE zone and I will hate it if they capped me at EDGE speeds

i've been throttled and got the text at about 4GB, I'm now throttled down to 100k/100k with unlimited lte, please voice your experience in my other thread.

I don't see what the hate is with AT&T...
I currently work for them in the Corporate retail store.
Our program that we use has been updated and unless the RSC cares, there is NO manager in store that can fix this and has to be called in to customer care that uses a back end system. (Only way it can occur in store is if the manager has been there over 5 years, and had training in the old system.)
Just be lucky the RSC had a question about it instead of just clicking next and not saying anything... Problem runs rampant with RSCs that have been there for awhile. They just don't care.

I started with and Iphone unlimited data plan. Switched to Android.I got my Skyrocket today and they tried to get me to take their limited data plan. I said no way I'm keeping my unlimited data plan. I pay $30 a month for unlimited. I have 3 lines on my family plan, all have unlimited data and I plan to keep it that way as long as possible.

T-Mobile service with g2x question

I'm currently on the 60 dollar monthly plan with unlimited talking and 2gb of data. Is there any benefit to switching to the contract value plan that is 50 dollars for 500 min and 2gb of data.
I originally was thinking I could benefit from the data roaming on the contract plan but now realize the g2x can't use att 3g towers.
The one thing I was thinking is the contract plan may protect me if T-Mobile decides to raise the rates on their prepaid plans.

No real advantage unless you want to be able to forward voicemail to Google voice or more options for buying a phone. Also, the Value Plan, equivalent to the old even more plus no contract plans has better prices but now requires a contract.

Check your bill. I found I used only like 200 minutes and about 3gb of data and around 1500 SMS.

Changing your plan renews your contract. They may not tell you this, but I found out after the fact.

The $30 Wal-Mart plan is only $100 minutes (no nights, weekends, m2m), unlimited messaging and web (5gb throttle).
You can't switch to it though if you already have T-Mobile. You have to start fresh on that plan with a new phone number.
No contact though...so not a bad plan if the 100 minutes works for you.

I have that groove ip works out well on the 4g if I never do go over the 100 mins which I don't I find I text more often than not and use the 4g...I came from a Verizon 4G LTE plan - 300 mins/unlimited (haha 2GB is unlimited) data/ 100 txt msgs..that was twice as much..hell it was 30 for the data plan alone.

I'm on the $70 unlimited talk txt and 5gb of data. Prepaid is the way to go imo.

Hate to push a topic that has been closed but I wanted to know if there is a way to forward calls to my google voicemail?
Im on the $30 a month prepaid plan and use groove ip to make and receive phone calls
Any advice thanks

Not on prepaid. You have to be able to enable call forwarding at the cell network level, which can only be done on PostPaid accounts. Prepaid and/or FlexPay can't do this... (the reasoning is that it could forward to a toll # in which case post/flex pay can't be billed properly in the case of massive overages....)

I'm on family plan. 1000 minutes. Unlimited text. 2 lines of 2gb data. For 110-130
