if you give me your thunderbolt ill give you $150 and one used htc evo. it also has 4g which is awesome if you're near a tower and out in an open field nowhere near a building. also the 3g is worse than a 56k modem but its okay the network is gonna be good some day.

I second this, great price every month, tho verizon with my company discount is honestly about the same, but the 3G/4G was terrible, and everyone trying to sell me that in home cell module thing, that only helps phone calls, because it would fix my "4G" and therefor I shouldn't leave them. Left them same day for a Thunderbolt with verizon, and in there survey asking why I left, I explained that every employee I talked to was a moron.
Did I also mention I had a Sprint "Manager" start cursing me out because I called him an idiot for telling me the only way I can get 4G is to have my phone off for about 12 hours straight every day?
seriously the worst provider ever. AT&T was better than Sprint, and I told them that
You made out on that trade even with the money involved. Congrats!

Huge thanks for posting this thread. Capped data was my only gripe with my current at&t plan. Thanks to you pointing this out I went to the atrix thread, met up with a fellow xda member and borrowed his iphone and now I have unlimited data. All within a few hours of finding out.
Careful, I clicked on that link and my virus scanner went off. Wiped out my PC as no exe files will run.

I'm not joking. I clicked on it to read about it, and Avg went off. I quarantined the virus and now when I try to run an exe file my computer asks me what program to use to open it. I'm about an hour in trying to figure it out. I wasn't running anything else except for my browser window when it happened.

That sounds like a lot of work. I was talking to an AT&T rep the other day about how I could get my unlimited data plan back, he said,
"Call customer service, explain to them how you had the unlimited plan before & since switching to the 2GB plan it just isn't working out. When they tell you it can't be done tell them you'll have to cancel & go with another carrier. Just TRY it. That's all I'm gonna say."
So I'm going to give that a shot, hopefully they don't give me to much trouble.
I hope this works for me

If you had unlimited before you can have success with calling but if not the iPhone trick takes an hour of your time and works without fail.

I understand your point of view but not everyone had an unlimited data plan to begin with. I personally didn't and bought the captivate in September so I wasn't given the option. I tried calling back in Oct/Nov to try to talk a representative into giving me the unlimited plan but had no success. Another thing to consider is you may not be given back the plan no matter how much you complain/threaten to move to verizon. This is something that is known to work for the time being so I don't see why it's a big deal.
I had an unlimited plan before I got my Captivate and they told me I had to switch to the 2 gig plan because my previous one wouldn't work with smart phones. So my question is, did I get screwed and if so is it possible to call customer service and switch back.

There is no way around the cap. It is done of T-Mobiles servers and linked to your SIM card. Many people have tried to get around it without any luck.

I can dig what you're saying but I'd like to think of it as being resourceful rather than cheap. After all it is android, several exploits and loopholes exist for other devices already. Ill keep fishing and maybe I can figure it out. Maybe IP/MAC spoofing would work to avoid the asshats at T-Mobile.

thats what i did lol theres your throttle fix.
It's not a work-around to the T-Mobile cap exactly. But by fine tuning when and how your installed apps use data, can keep you under the cap. For example instead of streaming podcast with Mediafly I installed DogCatcher. I set the download permissions for the application to only update when connected to WiFi and plugged in.
That alone has cut my data usage in half. Fine tuning other settings in apps like email, facebook and twitter have also cut down my data usage. I went from always bumping the data cap to moving to the next lowest data rate plan.
Something to consider!

im not being cheap at all!! but is it possible i can up to the 10GB/ month? i just started a 2 yr contract 2 months ago and i get capped everymonth so far to 56k speeds...i pay 100 dollars a month and i think thats alot already! thats no fun when i dont get access to wifi everywhete like most of you.
If you change your phone number & get a new SIM chip it resets yer data usage. Setup google voice, get 5GIG plan - wait 2 weeks & spend $15 to have phone number changed and get another 5Gig. Two more weeks, billing cycle starts over, another 5GIG. Wait 2 more weeks and change phone number again - 5 more gig. Repeat every month. If you use google voice then everyone will still have your phone number. I think to get the 10gig plan it's 30 bucks so this saves you 15 bucks a month. Of course its also a huge pain in the ass for 15 bucks.
Lol that's actually pretty damn clever. A huge undertaking, but still clever. Well done.

Sprint is unlimited and true they don't throttle - HOWEVER what they do is kick you off the network and cancel your contract if you use "too much" data. Happened to me a year or two ago.
Well regardless, I'm satisfied with the new beast. And still have the G2X on the side to play around with.

Suckness if true
I'm no longer under contract, but I'll ride the unlimited data for the time being.
FML .
The question I have, though, is if using a non-AT&T radio could stop the ability to be throttled. Anyone care to chime in?
The throttling isn't done on the device, it's done on their end.
EDIT: ATT FTL if this is true.

I don't discount your having worked for them and what you experienced, but if I have it in writing, it ain't happenin to me.
It's all a money grab.
Combine cellular data limits and AT&T's home DSL data limits along with Netflix (and every other provider) trying to force us into using streaming media and VoIP, and we get screwed.

The top 5% feel the pain it looks like. I suppose if you are using 10+ gigs a month I am not sure I feel for ya. Personally I have never gone over 5 but I also have internet service at Home.
Here come the "I pay for unlimited" posts.
If it doesn't affect me I don't care. I use maybe 3 gigs a month..
If it adversely affects me then It will give me reasons to look else where when I get to re-up again.
Anyone know if this is enough of a change to the plan you signed up for to allow canceling the account?
Lmao WiFi and using maybe 4gigs works for me.imo

Read about the limit
I read on a post yesterday (can't find it now) that the expected threshold for throttling will be somewhere in the vicinity of 50gb a month. In my mind, reasonable.

Well as long as the phone isn't reported lost or stolen you should have the unlock within 48 hours is what they'll tell you ( I had it the day after I called, waited less than 24 hours) and it's really simple but I think it's only free if you are a current T-Mobile customer.
