I work on radioshack ansia today I noticed this.. check the pic it looks the 69.99 plan does not have unlimited 4g, or at least is not stated like the 89.99 plan

It's a mandatory $10 add-on for the $69 plan with smartphones. It's included in the $89 plan.

Geeze these plans are getting expensive.....but i guess that's what you pay for unlimited data plans.....
4g has always been unlimited
That "450" represents the number of phone call minutes to landlines as sprint lets you call other mobiles regardless of network at no charge.
I understand all u said but with the 89.99 plan the 10 US premium data is still required.. but what calls ny attention is the label for unlimited 4G that plan has and the other one doesn't

So my girlfriend is going to be getting a note.
But we don't get lte in our area. We hardly get 4g.
Do we absolutely have to add a lte data plan on to our account or could we get like a 3g/4g data plan?
Basically don't want to pay for something we are never going to use.

You can call ATT to verify but I'm pretty sure you can use a normal data plan. Your account needs to be provisioned for LTE for it to work (and with the SIM iirc), but you should still be able to pull hspa+ with no issues.
I wasn't charged anything extra for having LTE provisioned on my account, but I'm also grandfathered unlimited.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Yeah, it will depend greatly on the actual AT&T person who sets you up. Bottom line is that technically, you can use the Note without being provisioned for LTE. My girlfriend and I both had our Notes set up on our old data plan for a couple of months before a store realized the error while fishing in our account for other stuff.
Ok. I actually just called them.
The guy basically said that no matter what I get for data 3g/4g/LTE its all the same price.
It just depends on how much data she wants.
Can anyone confirm this?
She had a 2gb data plan from like 2 1/2 years ago. They don't offer that so they said regardless we are going to be charged more once we upgrade the contract.
Sent from my Epic Touch using XDA Premium App
Yeah the 2gb plan is no longer available, it's now like 500mb for 20 3gb for 30 and i dint remember how much the 5gb plan was cause i went with the 3gb
The plans and prices are all the same regardless of what smartphone u have. Currently they are $20/300mb $30/3gb $50/5gb with tethering. if u already had a smartphone on an older smartphone data plan you are grandfathered in to that for the time being.

Just keep tabs on your usage with *3282# SEND. These phone are capable of allot of data even if you do not stream audio and video. 3GB is nothing with Play updates, a little web, FB, Twitter, FourSquare, email and Maps... Youtube can easily chew up a few hundred MB in a session.

Why do you say for the time being? Are they trying to do away with the grandfathered unlimited? Honestly...that's the only reason I stuck with ATT

Call AT&T and ask. I would think so though, but you need to purchase a data plan I think. It's $25 for 1GB per month. The other data plans offered are too small to be of any use.

Nevermind...........I'll just hold your hand!

You could use it on Straight Talk for $45 a month with unlimited everything
Has anyone used simple mobile on a 717Note I am on CM9 and not unlocked yet but curious if anyone has been able to obtain the 4g speeds they offer for 60$ unlimited everything.
Just get T-mobile's monthly 4G $30/month plan. Unlimited text and web (5gbs at 4G) and 100 mins. You can't beat that.

3G?.. Lol, after 2 gb you are down to dial up speeds... You can't avoid that no matter which plan you choose on prepaid. Atleast on the tmo plan you have 5gb which is pretty epic.
If you want truly unlimited, you are stuck with Sprint contract plans. And they are only unlimited because they are slow as ****.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
You misread my post. I can find unlimited non capped 3g speeds anywhere. I wanted unlimited 4g. And how do I go about getting that tmobile plan? Prepaid? Can I use my old SGS4G sim card? And is there a free unlock option available yet?
I had simple mobile and let me tell u it was worse than wen i had cricket when they first emerged so ya stick with a real provider

I dont care about phone calls btw. I will be using Groove IP to make all my calls like I do now I just need a decent usable data connection.
How about H2O? I use it and get at least 1mb up and down. Sometimes I would get 2mb up and down. Its not as fast as everything out there but I do live in long island. Might be different in other places and you don't need to unlock your note. Just put in the similar card and download an app to configure data and SMS. And your good to go. $60 a month is better than $170 a month

Do yourself a favor and order the straight talk sim card....straight talk is att lil brother....my speeds at lowest are around 6mb down..... 1.5 or 2 up....excellent signal.....I love it.....straight talk is the way to go....and btw its 45 unlimited everything......

Sadly today I got rid of my beloved Note. before my trial period expired I made the decision to cut ties with it. not because it was a bad phone but because of 2 issues. 1) the high price of AT&T phone service and the lack of unlimited data plan. I came from sprint 13 days ago and could not stand looking at my data usage and my first bill scare me. so I returned back to Sprint with my new S3. Love the service on AT&T. I think is the best so far. but not at a cost AT&T want it. so,,, good bye Note!!! :crying::crying:. one more thing,,,,, THANK YOU ALL AT THE NOTE FORUM FOR YOUR SUPPORT AT ROOTING,UNROOTING AND ROM FLASHING YOU ARE THE BEST AT THIS COMMUNITY XDA-DEVELOPERS ROCK!!!!!!
understandable...hate to see you leave but it is pricey. I, too, pay about 45 dollars more a month for att but I couldnt stand sprints service in my area. the trade off for me is worth it for now. plus, i love my note. it IS the main reason I came to att. be cool man. youll be missed...
Me too men. The Note was the reason I switch to AT&T. But I'll be watching for the Note2!!!!

Thank god I have grandfather unlimited plan. Even though they cap the speed, at least I don't have to worry about overage. Sprint Sucks where I live.
I am sure you will be happy with S3.

So far AT&T is the best network. I tryed Cingular,Sprint,AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon. Here the best in order in my opinion are AT&T and Sprint. I tried Verizon but lost Data connection at home!!! So after 2 days I canceled my contact.

I was told in NYC they are turning all the old payphones into wifi hotspots. I was wondering if there is any truth to that or if that already happened? If that is the case you would never need to have a data plan.
Certainly understand. I spent years w/Sprint (not always enjoyable) BUT switched to AT&T when I got the iPhone3g when it came out.
I'd love to try Sprint again...maybe they will get a Note.
HAVE FUN with the S3 (even though it is tiny).

no texting plan since I use Google voice and text messages use data that way
And I get 20% off my minutes with a discount through my employer (Red Lobster).
Not a bad deal.
Straight Talk's $45 Unlimited Plan works well for us and it uses AT&T towers here. I use it on my Note. We use them for hot spots and haven't had any problems there either.
nice note 2
39 for my bill but I'm sure the sprint sgs3 group will be great ' not as good as us though

Sounds like OP issues isn't anything with the note as much as ATT which I can understand. I like it for my family as I have been with the big 3 and they each have their hidden features to get your money. Good luck!

With unlimited internet, but 4g caps off at 5g, is there a way to remove this cap?
Sign up for unlimited 4g.

If there was, what would be the point of throttling? You can pay for unlimited with no cap.

Your not that fast getting throttled, and no, that is a limit set by the company. You want a dev to go hack something inside the company for you? So pay up for unlimited 4g.

Let me dumb it down, your device is point B, T-Mobile network is point A, throttling happens at point A. Developers here don't mange the T-Mobile network

Please do us the favor and leave if you don't like the answers. The reality is, there are virtually no workarounds for getting unlimited on a not officially unlimited plan. If you have a problem with being throttled, pony up the extra few bucks to get unlimited with no throttling.
