Yup. Unlimited doesn't exist anymore. When you upgrade you'll automatically be dropped down to a 2GB plan unless you specify a higher capacity.
I've heard rumors that unlimited will be back someday but Verizon has to beef up their infrastructure first. It'll be a while.

Take it from me, I never get near using my 2gb up. There is always WiFi everywhere.

We have three people on a 10GB shared plan, and we average around 6GB of use in a normal month. We love having that 4GB buffer though, because we travel every few months and always use a lot more data when we are traveling.
This is why I refuse to use my update. Last month I used 44 gb. Mostly because I tether at work the entire time. Most I've ever used was 61 gb. Not sure if I could live without unlimited.
I have unlimited data and a unlimited tether plan also not giving it up.
Id rather pay full price for a phone.

You could in fact be throttled. Did you recieve a text for T-Mobile about them slowing down you data for the rest of the cycle? Throttling is when T-Mobile slows down your data because you overused it, during your month cycle. Hell, I'm on a 5GB cap and I'm throttled. ): Guess you can complain to T-Mobile or wait it out.
Wow I did get a text like that wifi is good though right? Anyway thanks boss for the info

What do you guys use that makes you use 5GB in a month? I'm done with my month on the 23rd and have only used 1.01GB. I feel like I'm not using my phone to it's full potential lol

ok... well all custom roms have wireless hotspot baked into them which allows up to 5 devices to access your 3g/4g data connection. Best thing about the hotspot feature is that it won't use up your data plan since your rooted and it's usually a paid service you have to buy when your not rooted. However if your just tethering by a usb cable you would be throttled after your 2gb limit.
Have you enabled wireless hotspot in setting's before it will work as long as you have an active data plan.

Yep, only the built-in tethering feature uses up your 2-5gb data plan, i read about the wireless hotspot not eating up any data while in use somewhere. I'm gonna try and find a link real quick for my source since i know it will come up sooner then later lol

I haven't reached my 5g cap yet. It stopped me when I hit 4g of data. I'm still fast but just no tethering is being allowed.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
You could use an app called easy tether that has a one time fee of $10 if not your stuck with limited free version. This tricks the ADB interface so it doesn't show up as tethered so it will only show up as regular data from your phone not a PC.
Also if your using tmo network there is no way around their tracking and throttling of speed. A while back we could get around data throttling but i believe they caught on. If you running into hitting your cap use 3g watchdog and give yourself a daily limit and the app will alert you that you hit it
Remember when your on a pc it doesn't know your on a mobile network so keep youtube quality at its lowest. If your watching youtube at 720p you will hit your cap easily.
If your using netflix you will hit tour 5g cap in about 3movies at 720p.
Now the trick is is getting wireless tethering to work lol

So just wondering if text free is really free. To text anyone. On any number. On any network. With any phone? There isn't a catch. And I could just go to [email protected] and cancel my unlimited texting? Ya know since this claims to be " free "

I'm pretty sure all the texting and IM messenging apps use your standard messaging charges. It just works differently. Like over data.

Yes, it's free. It uses data and wifi to send then. It's unreliable at times though. I used to use it on my iPhone 2G.

that was a contradiction. if it uses data, then normal text charges wont apply. but to answer the Q, yes its free, but data charges will apply, unless you have unlimited data or youre on wifi. i use it on my xtra inspire thats without sim card

so if you got unlimited data then you wouldn't have to pay 20 extra dollars a month for texting because u have unlimited data... but anyway at&t doesn't have unlimited data plans for smart phones.. :// just for non smart phones.

It won't use much data. A 4 gb plan should suffice if you text a bunch.

I would recommend a 200 MB plan to start with if you do NOT use streaming media, and use wifi to update market apps. For plain emails and texts, I do not see usage crossing 100-150 MB a month.

all:
a few days ago I received the infamous 5% email. I am currently sitting at 4.9GB of data usage on the unlimited LTE grandfathered plan. when all of a sudden my up/down is now at 100k/100k almost symmetrical.
wanted to check with a panel of my peers. have any of you experienced this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
You may have better luck with this question in a forum for another LTE phone, or your own phone.
This Galaxy S II does not support LTE.
On my last bill I hit 5GB less than 10 days in, using a lot of Netflix. I managed to end the billing period with just over 8. My norm is 6-7. I have never been throttled, nor accused of tethering (which I don't use).
Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
I can tell you that I'm at 26gigs for this month and I have gotten no notice from att. This is from downloading all podcasts. I'm only doing this for comparison...this obviously isn't typical usage. So now we can confirm the top 5% is a load of crap. Sounds more like they are throttling depending on what you do and not how much you do. There goes net neutrality.

I think the OP has a GSII ****rocket.
Anyways AT&T is known for throttling LTE users for low usage.
On HSPA+ on My note, I hit 11gigs and they threatened to throttle me on Day 28 of my billing cycle. I think they just throttle based on what speed you have. F***ers

To get the unlimited data you have to pay I think an extra $10 or some sort of extra fee but the unlimited data doesn't include hotspot, for hotspot you have to pay for it seperately.

Actually, i'm not rooted (became unrooted with the last update and just haven't gotten around to rooting it agina yet, lol) and neither is a cousin of mine. We both stayed with my grandpa for a week (our grandmother passed away) and we were able to use tether. He used it for his wifi only iPad and I used it for my Nexus 7. Neither of us rooted, and neither of us got charged for using it. Both of us on T-Mobile.
I just upgraded to unlimited w/out hotspot. Only $10 more then my previous 2GB plan. I seem to remember some rooted ROMs getting around it awhile back though. Haven't tried, but hoping I can get around it still.
