T-Mobile offers an unlimited 4G data plan but only if you're using the data on your phone. The plan comes with 5GB of tethering data only.
Is there anyway to bypass the 5GB limit?
The General section is not the place for questions.

T-Mobile has begun to sell an unlimited data plan that becomes throttled at 2GB of use with no over charges. Is this plan going to become T-Mobiles only* unlimited plan, or just a different option? On my current plan I don't worry about speed reduction until I hit 5GB of data usage. I use 3-4GB a month on average, so if the 2GB plan becomes their only "unlimited" plan its going to be quite the bummer.

Right now, I'm using a smartphone without a data plan.
Whenever I surf the web, I get the upsell subscribe to a data plan, and there are 2 options
4G Web 200MB $0.10 overage for $10
and
4G Web Unlimited for $25
On T-Mobile's website I see a 4G Web 200MB Unlimited for $10 ( YOu get capped after 200MB)
Is it possible for me to get the 4G Web 200MB Unlimited instead of the 4G Web 200MB $0.10 overage?
You're using an older Even More Plus rate plan, where the only choices for data are the $10 200MB 4G plan with overages and the $25 unlimited plan. Newer rate plans have the 200MB, 2GB, 5GB, and 10GB choices. Changing to a new rate plan will allow you to get the $10 overage free plan.

Yep, I'm using the Even More Plus rate plan. However, is it it possible for me to get the 200MB plan UNLIMITED but throttle for $10 without getting a new plan?
Should I walk in to a Tmobile store or would they just laugh?
Ok... I am slightly confused...
Isn't this the HTC Sensation(4G) Accessories forum? lol I think you will have better luck in a forum made for T-Mobile or something like that.
I'm grand fathered in to the AT&T Unlimited Data plan $30 extra a month. I just received a letter telling me that due to my tethering usage, they will automatically enroll me into a 4GB monthly tethering plan and add extra charges. It doesn't make sense to have an unlimited data plan if you can't use it for tethering. You've paid for the data so what difference does it make if you use it for tethering.
Any feedback would be well appreciated and also if there is any app that can mask the tethering mode of your device so they think its only the device using the data.

Lol I know right.
I am not amused by your phones performance
This has been covered too many times to count in the past few months. Bottom line is read your TOS. Unlimited data was started for the business user that had to use alot of data while away from his PC. Not for the person wanting to tether.

I already have the old data plan 15$ unlimited (grandfathered) + unlimited family messaging. If I pop my sim into an ATT skyrocket, will they charge me more for the data plan? I would buy the phone off ebay.
I don't think you can pop your sim card in. Lte sim is different I believe.

its the same kind of sim, just lte enabled. My sim would only get me 3G speeds, just want to know if ATT will charge me more for data.
NO. when you get it. Call them and tell them to put your number on you the LTE Sim Card and then your data plan will just transfer. if you have the $30 unlimited grandfathered, it'll carry over. Same price as before. 2GB is still $25
I know it's the same type lol. Just saying you wont get lte without contacting at&t. But no, you shouldn't get charged more or lose you grandfathered plan. But not 100% sure.

That sounds like the MediaNET plan, which AT&T won't grandfather you in unlimited if it is.
If it's from the iPhone 2G or 3G, or you had unlimited data on a smartphone before AT&T got rid of it, they'll put you on LTE unlimited.
I have my phone on an ex-girlfriend's plan. We both have unlimited AT&T data but different plans because she uses an iPhone. She initiated the process for me to take over my piece of the account. Will my unlimited data stay with me if I complete the process?

The only way you will find out is go to a store or call.
If you have the medianet data package tell them to show you where in the terms of service it says they can't grandfather you into unlimited smartphone data. If the can't show you then it just says they will grandfather unlimited data. Push the issue and you'll get it. I know I did it. Went from iPhone unlimited to medianet and then upgraded to an android phone. Used the argument above and I'm on unlimited data again.

I imagine it is much easier for T-mobiles automated system to track total data usage vs tethered data usage.
I know I used to have the 2GB plan, and getting throttled sucks. My question is, why do you need to tether 20 gb a month?
Also, why does everyone on this forum trying to find ways around paying their bills? At first I thought people were having real issues tethering, then I realized people are having issues tethering, that didn't have tethering on their plans. And were COMPLAINING that they couldn't tether.
