Why the "data-hungry" label? Anybody with a smartphone, especially one with Android 2.2 and up, Windows Phone 7, and yes the iOS, all deserve to be able utilize their devices in any manner they want. Is this not what customers pay for? Is this not the the job that T-Mobile agrees to assume when you sign agree to a contract? We have the technological means to provide substantial and stable internet every where wirelessly.
Today’s smartphones offer amazing experiences, and consumers are increasingly relying on them for everything from navigation, entertainment and shopping to just staying connected.

This re confirmes what I said about anybody with a smartphone should be able to use it as they want. Our smartphones are for all intent and purposes computers. Yes they like some functionality that a laptop or desktop that runs windows, Mac, or a Linux Destro, but not many. I mean with root explorer you can unzip a ROM and add files or delete files, you can even create or edit scripts. Then re zip the ROM and flash it to your device. You can actually extract .apk files and .jar files you just can not rebuild them yet.

mobile hotspot limit
most of us XDA readers will find a way to get around the Mobile Hotspot limit that Tmo is putting on the new data plans. Looking forward being able to use my data plan without having to monitor how close I am to the throttle...

clarified everything today with tmo. I'm still wondering how they plan to limit tethering though.

Aside from that, I might as well pay the extra $10 on my plan for it.

Well in the news release it says we won't be able to share with "other devices". I have my ideas but I'd rather not being them out into the open even though they've probably already thought of every angle. But tmo has plenty of spectrum to allow us "hungry" users to use the network at its fullest. I was actually going to leave tmo for sprint in October for that simple fact. Needless to say, I'm gonna stick around for a bit

I called two weeks ago about this and was told to wait until today. So I called today and got the true unlimited data plan added. Here's the thing, when I look in my account it now says Unlimited (10GB) - see the screen shot. I'm wondering if it just didn't kick in yet, it's been a few hours...
Edit: NVM, I just realized that it reads 9TB ??? So uh yeah I guess it's "true unlimited" =D

Well I'm glad you got it back. In my case, I was used to seeing 10,000MB of high speed data, not 9,700GB LOL!

Oh crap, so there is a cap...
But seriously, oh noes. No tethering,

Yeah I worked it out and at my max download 24/7 I'd only be able to do about 600GB in a month (ha ha). So for all intents and purposes it is unlimited!

What the hell 5Gb?! Mine is only 2GB lol. After you exceed the limit, you will be reduced to 2G Edge speed until the next billing cycle (monthly). I set up my data plan back when the G1 was new and still have the same one haha.
I use an average of 2.5 out of 5 every month. I got tired of them showing me down so I upgraded to the 5gb plan. They won, I love my data.

At the moment I'm on throttle thanks to T-Mobile, I have the 5gb data and once you pass that your data gets throttle to 2g, but personally I believe is slower than 2g. Takes for ever to load a Facebook page, Pandora and YouTube are useless. But anyway I have two more days of this throttle speeds then back to normal.

Well then you should have unlimited data now. You screwed yourself by not getting unlimited data when it was available.
I am a 9 year T-Mobile subscriber and have unlimited data (120$ two phones). Every time I talk to T-Mobile they try to give me a 3rd line for same price I pay for two lines now but catch is to go to 5gb limit. I tell them no way I am giving up my unlimited plan! LOL

It's not actually unlimited.
I used to be on GG myself and everything was going great. Then I started getting my internet cut off because I was using too much internet. How can one use too much of unlimited? I literally ended up getting cut of twice in one week for using too much and all I was doing was streaming through Netflix.
Here's a screenshot of the message I sent to one of their agents about the situation.

I am currently on 500mb data, having to cut myself short as I'm averaging 3x that in a month. I think the most I'll use is about 3 gig, mainly Rom downloads. Won't be using Netflix or streaming media, but still like access to my files at home whilst I'm out, which is why I was looking at giffgaff.

Giffgaff offer very good options in the UK, just need to be careful to make sure you always have a goodybag including data otherwise your credit disappears rapidly. Even better now the goodybags can auto renew.

Look at OP. He just asked about our carrier and hasn't posted since. He never wanted to discuss about our carriers either, he simply wanted to know WHAT carrier we were on. The replies started the conversation on what carriers were good.
Since I posted second, all I knew about this thread was that some weirdo with barely any posts just wanted to know what carrier other people were using. He never posted his carrier either, usually you would at least say "to start, I am on AT&T" or other carrier.

They also have the Wildfire S still on their site. Not much for new products. I can't find the g2x now so either we bought them all or it was an anomaly. Do you know if it was refurb? If it's not too much, we should get Hell one for him to put a working copy of ICS on just for a trophy if nothing else.

[HOW TO] reset AT&T data usage

so I figured this little trick out by accident actually. while it's pretty useful to know, I'd suggest not using it unless you really need to. basically don't abuse it or it'll get 'patched' (for lack of a better word).
STEP 1
have AT&T give you a new SIM card.
* going into any AT&T store and saying you're having signal issues will get you in and out the door with a new SIM in 5 minutes, free of charge.
STEP 2
you're all done.
* if you want to check to see that it worked, open your dialer, press *3282# (*DATA#) and hit call. in a free seconds you'll receive a free text message from AT&T updating you on your data usage. you'll see two lines, one of which will read (DEACTIVATED), and your data will be back at 0/3GB (*screenshot related)
anyways, try not to abuse this. it should really only be a last resort thing. so only use it if you really need it!

Of course its entirely possible to use that much data fast -one hd movie will put you close to there....but it was just so close to the other one I assumed it was never reset...really should take my moms advice on never assuming things as half the times when you assume you end up being wrong

Hearts and minds ^^
As for the topic at hand, don't you think it's a little devious to have your data reset like that? In the long term its gonna create more bothersome questions for the rest of us down the road when we do have realm SIM issues

Vzw upgrade & keep unlimited date

So today I heard that ppl were able to upgrade and keep unlimited data thru vzw. So I tried it, considering I have three lines with unlimited and due for an upgrade. I was able to upgrade my wife's line to 5s ( yeah I know iPhone) and ordered myself a s4. and got confirmation. Emails that confirm that unlimited date was included
Anyone else try this?

you should contact them. i was told my a rep that it was a glitch in thier system.
Yes, I just did it this morning. I have 4 lines with unlimited and talk n text $20 dollar discount. 3 of the lines I upgraded before unlimited ended to GS3.
The fourth line was on an iPhone 4S and due for an upgrade. Got the iphone 5s and everything seems to indicate that its still the unlimited and my discount will be retained.
From what I've read online, some people were able to do store pickups and their receipt did show unlimited being retained. Only problem for us is that the 5S doesn't ship for quite some time and verizon can always end up cancelling.

Saw an article on droidlife about it. It could be worth a gamble. But they might take it away. Either way, good luck.
Just my opinion, you'll lose the unlimited. Nothing is free in life

because when i tried it and it worked I asked to make sure.
They said if I put my order through Id end up with 2gb or something like that.
Im sure you dont want this to happen to you. So thts why I suggested you contact them to make sure you can retain. Id be pissed to lose it on a technicality like this.

There was no way they were going to continue unlimited data at this point. I upgraded two summers ago and kept it, but I believe they only offered that because so many people grumbled.
I switched from a family to a single user plan shortly after renewing and they cut my contract in half without me prompting them. I went from two years to one and kept the same monthly price. They're trying to get rid of unlimited data as fast as they can. I'm grabbing a nexus 5 and switching to t mobile this December when my year is up. Verizon's service isn't as great as it's cracked up to be.

Good on Verizon for honoring their mistake. I hope they don't screw it up, though.

Looks like it was easier to honor their mistake then to go thru all the trouble of correcting it!

A question off topic; out of the vzw smartphone currently available which is the most recommended by the xda community?

Your much better off searching yourself for the features you want. Your posting this question on a Verizon S3 forum post, where most users browsing it are S3 users and most users don't have a lot of experience with other devices.

Thanks for your response. I currently have the S3. So many choices can't make up my mind.
Well just got the S4, will try it out for the next two weeks.
But have been looking into the LG G2 < any thoughts
