So if I have a contact and I have the 2gb of high speed data will I have to update my plan in order to get true unlimited 4G data

I'm on a family plan, 5 lines, 3 with data. 2,000 minutes and unlimited texting. Will those lines with the $20 data plan be upgraded to the truly unlimited plan for free?

Great question. I have a nearly identical plan. I guess a phone call and some hold time are in my future.:fingers-crossed:

Im wondering the same thing. I'm not sure if wed have to renew our contract to get unlimited as with T-Mobile every time you add something or change it it Renews. Hopefully I'm wrong and they just lift the throttling without need to call.

I was thinking of switching to Sprint when my contract was up, but now there isn't much of a point. I think I still will to try out the service and see how data speeds compareto T-Mobile in my area.
They give me a deal on 2 GSIII and I add a line. And I will.

And I just dropped TMobile for straight talk. Still running on the same network. Maybe they will match data usage policy because straight talk's spring based phones have unlimited data.

I wonder how strict they will be. I'd love to get rid of my Millenicom 3G account, which I use for about 15 - 25GB a month (mostly during night). Wouldn't mind going into a 2-year contract just for that
I know tethering is off-limits in their ToS. I guess I should be asking how safe and undetectable using tethering in cyanogenmod 7/9 is

so i got a 2g data plan a now i ran over 2g so now my internet slow as hell is there any way that i could make it faster until i pay the bill ?
Use wifi whenever you can. The 2gb cap is bulls#@t. I ran over my first month so started using wifi at my house and work or wherever I could get a signal and have been fine since.

Consider upgrading to their 5 or 10 gig plan... I had been sent a notice that I was approaching my "throttling" point, was on the 5 gig plan, called t-mobile and was told that there was a new rate plan that gave me 10 gigs of data. I did have to extend my contract but that didn't bother me because I only had my plan a couple of months. With the new plan, my wife still has 5 gigs and the total bill only increased ~$5 because the unlimited talk/text/web portion of my plan went down $20.

I'm a have to look into this myself. A 5gig plan would be nice. Thanks.

Just wondering if its unlimited or capped at 5gb

Unlimited, the same as every other smartphone on Sprint. The only limit is on data used while roaming.

Yes and no. You have unlimited data yes... but if you pass 5GB of Sprint 4G or in-network 3G for 3 consecutive months, you'll get a call from the compliance department.

So unlimited really isn't unlimited is that what your saying? I just signed up with sprint 2 weeks ago and I am up to 12 gig as of tonight so I guess I should lay low for a bit then. The carriers are making money big time with this bandwidth crap. I use 2 terabite a month on my servers and it cost me 15.00 so I have no idea what all this fuss is about. Thanks for the tip though...

NO you wont. Stop spreading bad information. The only way to get a call or letter from sprint is excessive roaming. Tethering is limited to 5gb. Or torrenting.

Mmhmm
Its unlimited. The only limits are on broadband cards and for the tethering option, IF you pay for that.
I've used no less than 10gb per month since I signed up and there haven't been any calls from anyone.

I'm not spreading bad information. Go to your local (corporate) Sprint store and ask for a hard copy of your contract. It states 5GB on Sprint network, 300MB roaming. The compliance department will only get involved if your line is flagged. Only 2 ways I'm aware of to get flagged, #1 roam excessively (voice, data, or both) for 3 consecutive months, #2 use excessive Sprint bandwidth on a congested tower, or area for 3 consecutive months.
Your bandwidth cap DOES NOT change with the tethering add-on; you are just notified without a hard copy of the existing caps.
It's not Sprint actually supplying DATA services to the towers, but another ISP that sells bandwidth to Sprint. I know that only because I've had to upgrade some hardware at the Notre Dame Campus Sprint antennas, and the internet connection was supplied by Comcast.

The tethering is capped now. This happened like a month ago. Nd again... It's another change that Sprint makes that doesn't protect the customer from being grandfathered in.

We can thank people like you for us losing the Sprint premier program and someday unlimited data. 32gb of usage is bull****. You are obviously tethering and are not paying for that feature and eventually we will all lose unlimited.

Firstly, its my data to use how I like. Secondly, prove it.
Don't paint me a 'bad guy' cause I'm using the services I'm offered.
It's not people like me that are keeping sprint in the red and thus forcing them to cut services; it's more their poor management. So if you're gonna get at me with nothing more than accusations that I'm 'obviously tethering', you might as well start a thread and call out everyone ...

32GB is a bit excessive, but this Guy may not have a computer/internet at home so he uses his phone. Literally 2GB can be burned in a day easily, just using it moderately. (ie, how Sprint, VZW, AT&T, etc, portray in their ads)

Data has always been capped. Not to a point where they limit/charge, but if you look at the hard copy (full paper printed copy) it says you have 5GB as stated in the acceptable use policy portion of the contract. Look it up at Sprint.com or a Sprint store.

Thanks. Just read it start to finish and there is still no cap.
However, they can terminate service for dozens of ridiculous reasons. One reason is rooting.
New cycle is eleven days away, @30gb atm.

No it's LTE look at the last thing on the add "all on Canada's first lte network" I also had to get a new lte sim back in march when I got my I727R and if on 16th when my plan changes over (billing cycle) I loose lte and only get H or um bands I'm going to go postal on them.

I'm on Tbaytel/Rogers and I have a $50 plan that includes 300min talk, Call display, unlim texting, voicemail, Hi-10 (Like My10, but it automatically zeros out the top 10 local #s I call), and 5gb of data. It also roams for free on the Rogers network.

I guess, still to much for no voice almost., and you can call Canada but you can travel roaming free in Canada.
Compare to this: this is my skyrocket plan:
Unlimited Voice anywhere in Canada - free long distance to USA/Canada
Unlimited International/North America SMS/MMS
10G of Data (also share it whit tablet + $12)
Visual Voice, Call Display + the usual
TOTAL with TAX = $85
Also know a great way to get a deal on rogers cable: Hi-Speed Express, 300G limit $60.
PM me if you have Q's.
I got the plan myself. My old plan i paid the same however i didn't have my 10 or lte. Now I have lte with 6 gigs without paying more which I am happy about.

I have to say few months ago I would say its crazy cheap, but lately we had some kind of cellular revolution and now you can get unlimited calls,texts and data for around 30$ a month after 3gigs you may get throttled and we don't have 4th gen but still.
I'm on a family plan for 3 phones, I am wondering if anyone can help me figure out a new plan that can use data usage with out worrying. Here is my current plan:
1000 Talk - $59.99
Unlimited Messaging - $20
3 Phones with 200mb - $10/each ($30)
3rd phone added to line - $10
Total = $120
Do you guys know of a better plan or way to get data on the phone that is unlimited but throttles it if needed?
Well when my wife had T-Mobile the only thing they would offer her when she needed to upgrade was a 2GB/5GB/10GB options. Since they wouldn't let her keep her unlimited, that's the only options I'm seeing via their website still. Either or would be better than 2/300MB.
You could've got unlimited talk, text 4gb 4g a couple months ago. About 70 total.

Yeaah I know, its kinda dumb especially its all T-Mobile plans they want to charge a migration fee just so you can lower your bill. Smh, so I might just transfer to my brothers account and just split the bill. I'll get add a line - $5, android web - $20, and insurance, $8 or $4. One of those. And once split between me and him it will be about $70 exact a month

Yeah T-Mobile is great when it comes to prices but getting a good plan is hard, you really have to capitalize on offers and stuff.
so I have been looking for ways to keep my Verizon service and my data... this is my plan...Craigslist for a note II...then Verizon has an unlimited month to month for fifty dollars no contract...of course my contract is up... but from what I seen upgrades are about three months before contract expiration...even with my 20 percent discount through work there is nothing cheaper when comparing contracts to prepaid fifty a month
