That's half what I'm paying via Sprint. Granted, I get a "killer" 450 minutes a month.....;-) but damn!...35 a month!! And unlimited data at that!
Seriously being robbed. I see another carrier in my future.

Post paid is becoming a big rip off compare to prepay . For that reason I flashed my phone to Boost Mobile and haven't looked back. Sure I lose 4g, but it wasn't that fast anyways, and with poor wall penetration it was pretty much useless for me at home.

Man you US'ers really get shafted on mobile contracts!
Dang $35 a month?!
I could get 4 of them for significantly less than I'm paying Sprint for my 4 line family plan right now (all Evo 3Ds).
How hard would it be to activate a Sprint Evo 3D on Virgin Mobile?

I'm not sure if u can. Although u would think they would let u. But being owned by Sprint I'm not sure if the would want to take the hit cuz they would loose a ton of money from multiple accounts following suit.

What happens after that? Throttled, billed extra, cut off altogether, or what?
I think T-Mobile has an "unlimited" data plan that throttles after 5 GB for $30, so that might actually be a better deal.
But if we can use our existing Sprint Evo 3D on this without buying a new phone, that has to be considered too.
Same phone, same network, same service, half price to what we're paying right now. It's almost mandatory to consider it, lol.

My friend was wondering why they sent out texts about increases in plan rates If you change out your phone. Actually prices are going up for VM customers who change their phones after 5-27-2012. Now we know the reason for the price increase for service.
NM he's still on the $25 a month plan. So no changes if your on the $35 plan.
So I just did a quick comparison. Here's how it all stacks up:
Individual Plans:
Sprint: $80 (includes $10 smartphone fee) 450 minutes, unlimited text and data.
Sprint also has the same with 900 minutes for $100, and unlimited for $110.
Virgin Mobile: $35 300 minutes, unlimited texts, "unlimited" data (2.5 GB then throttled).
Virgin Mobile also has the same with 1200 minutes for $45, and unlimited minutes for $55.
T-Mobile: $30 100 minutes, unlimited texts and "unlimited" data (5 GB then throttled).
T-Mobile also has unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and "unlimited" (2 GB then throttled) data for $60, and unlimited minutes and texts with 5GB then throttled data for $70.
Family Plans (4 line):
Sprint: 1500 shared minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited data $210 (includes $10 smartphone fees). They also have the same with 3000 shared minutes for $250, and unlimited minutes for $410.
T-Mobile: unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, "unlimited" (2 GB then throttled) data for $200.
T-Mobile also offers the same with 5GB then throttled for $230.
T-Mobile also offers unlimited minutes on the first 2 lines and 500 minutes on lines 3 and 4, with unlimited texts and "unlimited" (2 GB then throttled) data for $160, and unlimited minutes on the first 2 lines and 500 minutes on lines 3 and 4 with unlimited texts and 5 GB then throttled data for $190.
T-Mobile also offers 10 GB then throttled data plans with unlimited minutes and unlimited texts for $290, and unlimited minutes on the first 2 lines but only 500 minutes on lines 3 and 4 (with unlimited texts) for $250.
Virgin Mobile: I could not find any family plans on their site.

I lost my new EVO LTE and while I'm waiting for a replacement, Im trying to hook up an old Palm Pre via sprint.com online. I have the Sprint Family Data EVERYTHING 1500 shared plan with 3 phones and a 25% corporate discount. The online swaping system is saying that I have to change my $110 plan to another one and there is no going back. They have an UNLIMITED minutes for 99$ and a 900 minutes for 89$ and no 1500 plan any longer. Does anyone know if the Unlimited plan for 99$ is the same or better than my 110$ 1500 minute plan? I wonder if the 110$ thats on my bill before the discount includes 99$ + the 10$ monthly fee. And will I lose my corporate discount if I switch? I don't want to go through the hassle again of proving my corporate discount.
Thanks in advance
I can't wait to get my EVO back
I'm quite sure the unlimited plan for $99 is for single user, but I could be wrong
you need to call in and have them activate the phone. ran into that a couple weeks ago.
You have to do it via onlinechat or via phone. The automated process won't accept the plan.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
+1 on the online chat, it's quite easy and painless via chat, pretty quick as well.
The reason it says you need a plan change is because of the LTE access that is tagged to your plan. The online system would do the same thing coming/going to any other device other than another LTE device.
If you call them it'll take 10min to get it squared away. (assuming you haven't called yet)
Sent from my EVO LTE using XDA premium
Ive swapped phones on the exact same plan, and like the others said, call them, it really does take like 10 minutes.
Ask for everything family shared plan. 129.99 for 2 or more phones. Each phone after 2 is 19.99 a month. We have 4 on phones in company using that plan.

As a Vibrant owner, I'm of course using t-mobile. My 2 year contract is up, and I want to pay the lowest amount. I barely use my call minutes, and want unlimited texts and data. What plan should I go with?
The Tmobile site makes this confusing, because I see a $30per month plan with unlimited texts and date, and 100 minutes, but I can't switch to it.
That's because its prepaid.
For now I'm on T-Mobile prepaid $30, 1500 voice/text combo and 30mb data.
Not much data but I always use WiFi.
$49.99.
Classic plan?
500 Minutes, Unlimited (2GB 4G) data & Unlimited texts? :|
The online $30 plan is a special online only and I believe requires a new prepaid phone or acct/number.
I currently use unl talk text and data with first 100mb at 3/4g. I have gone over the 100mb a few times and don't really notice any decrease in speed. There is a $45 unl talk text and data from Walmart straight talk. They use tmo and at&t. You just have to get a sim that works on tmo from them. This will also require unlocking and a new number.

I don't know the prices, but you could try simple mobile if they're in your area. It's the gsm equivalent of metro/cricket. I believe they run off t mobile towers too. You might have to unlock it though.
100 minutes unlimited text and 5 GB 4g plan does exist. It's only available at Walmart! Google it. I have Simple Mobile $40 unlimited everything plan for about a year and it's decent, but network speeds are about 120 kbps...SM also has a $50 unlimited full 4g speed plan

Yeah, I'm doing the switch next month to this but be forewarned, if you use Wi-Fi calling, it still counts against your allotted 100 minutes. I did some research on this a couple days ago and you could add another 1500 minutes (I think) for $10 extra. You can't beat that deal
OP here. I made my switch today, and something funny happened.
I went to the TMobile store, told them my 2-year contract was up, and I want to be on a monthly plan. The store representative asked, "why?" and I told him I'd rather pay $50 per month than $90. He was confused and said I had to call customer service to switch. Whatever.
I got back home, called customer service, and they transferred me to a call center which based on the accent and forced "Americanisms" is probably in India. Just to see if I could get away with it, I told them I wanted the $30 per month plan, which is supposed to only be for new accounts. The rep on the phone said OK, and now I pay $30 per month for 100 voice minutes, and unlimited text and data!
woohoo!
That's a good plan. The first 5gb at 3/4g speed, then they throttle back however I have the $50 unl talk+texts and 100mb data @3/4g. I go over 100mb all the time and rarely notice speed reduction except for downloading large files, but that's what WiFi is for.

Just follow activation steps and when you get to step 3 "Select your plan and services" there will be special for $30 plan with unlimited web and 100 mins.
I have no problems switching to that plan myself online. I did buy a prepaid sim card from a real tmobile store. They told me I could switch plans myself later on so I bought it, prepaid sim can go to other prepaid plans as well as contract plans (not that I would but that's what they said)
I've been on walmart's Family Mobile almost a year and have no complaints.
I came from att and was able to port my numbers. They were working by the time I got to my car.
Did I get a good deal? I booked it on the Three network and just found out that Three will be the third operator to give out 4G network throughout the UK!
I Bought my Galaxy S3 fully unlocked and just used payg. But im on 3 myself and get the same amount of Mins/txts/data.
But yeah its a good deal mate

Hi mate, decent deal. I've got an S3 on T-Mobile and I'm paying £26 per month... Free phone, Unlimited text, 300 mins, 750mb data.. bought from web with cashback every few months, totaling to around £24 per month. Decent deal, for £28 I could've got 600 mins, unlimited data, unlimited text from orange from the web also.. So you could've got a better network with more mins at same price :s PM me if you've not activated the sim and you could give back and get a better contract :good:
M concern was not to have to deal with the cashback hastle... I have read a lot of bad reviews people having great difficulties redeeming these special redemptions and cashback offer, for this reason I just decided to hit the nail on the head and ignore these nonsense deals. Another reason I went for Three was because they will soon be getting the 4G network aswell as EE as they have bought some of their stuff. Im hoping I will soon be able to have unlimited 4g on my Galaxy S3!
What do you think?

Hmmm, I have seen an offer very similar to this but they want £29 upfront which actually makes it about £32.20 a month. I was very tempted by a £26 a month offer from T Mobile with 1.5 gb of data but I just think that nothing beats unlimited data plan, especially with Three where they do not actually slow down speeds, I believe they just give out warnings.

I'm a tmobile customer, and I logged on to AT&T's website yesterday to see how much it would cost me to switch and i was blown away at the prices - a 450 minute 5gb data plan was $90? that wasn't including unlimited weekends, 5000 night and weekend minutes.
did i click on something wrong or is that roughly how much people pay at at&t?

I'm in the same boat as OP - pondering a switch from Tmobile (and bringing over 2 other lines as well) but very unpleasantly surprised by how expensive AT&T would be. Even with my corporate discount, the best "deal" I can see for a family plan with 2 smartphones and 1 dumbphone is $130 for 450 min, unlimited text, and 300mb of data for each smartphone.
I pay $127 with tax. (25% corporate discount)
-Unlimited Voice
-Unlimited Text
-4GB data
-can up that by $20 to go to 6GB data but we weren't using it.
-Mobile Share Plan
T mobile has some of the best pricing around but not one of the best services around. At&t will be offering the same pre-paid and post-paid plans as T Mobile next year.

Assuming they match TMO's pricing and offer access to 4G/LTE on prepaid plans that's great news. Of course what would be even better would be if we could get AT&T to offer an unlimited data option once more. It would be great to stream Netflix and/or movie content from my home servers on some of the long drives I take during the summer without having to care about hitting any sort of overages.
I pay about $220 for 2 lines and an iPad mini with unlimited talk/text and 10gb of shared data.

thanks for the input, you guys are brave souls...
the thing that really irked me is even if i buy the phone at full price and go month-to-month, the overall price of service doesn't go down, although its pretty obvious that the prices are higher because you're getting the phone at a subsidized price.
i'm gonna stick with tmob, im gonna miss out on exclusives (like the one x last year and the black htc one this year) but its not worth the extra $$ for me...
I've been with AT&T for many years now and have not kept up with the TMO pricing structure.
With AT&T, my Unlimited Data (grandfathered) with partner discount comes out to ~$75/month. With a new two year contract, I pay $200 for premium phones and get to keep them after my two years are up.
But TMO's pricing has me really confused. Looks like you don't pay $200, but instead you pay the same amount of money for the plan itself, in my case, probably $70-$80 after partner discount (for unlimited data). Then another $27/month for 24 months for the phone, instead of paying $200 up front.
The thing is, with AT&T that $200 divided by 24 months is only $8. So TMO's $27/month is $440 more expensive at the end of the 24 months?
That's take interesting. I never got that price getting AT&T and I heard they didn't let anyone keep unlimited data anyone.
That is a better plan then what T-Mobile can offer as long as when you go to upgrade they let you keep it.
Typically with newer plans and things like that they make you change if you want to get a discount with a new device and contract. That's how they made a lot of changes the past. Forcing a change when you try to get a new contract.

I've upgraded phones a few times on my AT&T unlimited plan and haven't had an issue yet.
They did threaten to kill the plan about 1.5 years ago when they "caught me tethering", which was kind of weird. But nothing ever came of it.
I use between 1.5GB and 8GB per month, with an average of ~3GB over the last year.

I have been on the unlimited plan from the MotoQ, then Samsung Galaxy S1 Captivate, S2, S3, and S4 and have never list my Grandfathered Unlimited Plan. Every year it would be the same rumor that we would lose the grandfathered unlimited data but it never happened. We are basically just extending our contract another 2 years at a time. My contract/plan remains the same. I have 4 lines, 3 smartphone plans. But mine is the only grandfathered unlimited data. My other 2 smart phones have the 2Gb data. My bill is about $200 a month or just over (depending on how much the other phones go over their data limit).

You're still on AT&T?
Check out the new family plans.
Some good prices in there.
Makes me consider going with the 10GB plan instead of unlimited. I've never once hit 10GB in ~4-5 years.
I don't want to stay with AT&T though, due to locked boot-loader BS.

I have thought about it but I use on a normal basis about 10 Gbs a month just on my Unlimited data phone, and usually one if not both of the other phones with their 2Gb plans go over a gig or so.
Even with getting throttled at 5 Gb's I tend to use another 5Gb or more at the slow download/upload speeds. I can still download/upload Roms and themes just takes longer, still stream music, check on XDA and other websites with no issues while throttled. About the only thing that gets affected is watching/streaming movies or videos. Also what I can usually do is swap my Sim into my S3 and then not be throttled for another 3GBs. So not sure I could SHARE only 10Gb a month. Thanks for the suggestion though.
And all this because my only option for Home network is ATT DSL so it is always slow as heck. May switch to cable ONLY for internet at some point though. No Uverse or fiber optic type data in my housing tract.

Wow, ATT is throttling you?
They haven't done that to me in forever.
But the, I rarely go over 5GB.
Anyone know if TMO throttles download speeds on the unlimited data plan?

No throttling on Unlimited Nationwide 4G plan. I use about 30-35gigs per month all at LTE speeds.

Wow, ATT is throttling you?
They haven't done that to me in forever.
But the, I rarely go over 5GB.
Anyone know if TMO throttles download speeds on the unlimited data plan?

Yes Att throttles at 5Gb for the unlimitwd grandfathered plan. It was one reason why it was nice going from the S3 (throttled at 3Gb) to the S4 LTE (Throttked at 5Gb).

Correct. It's $20 for Unlimited LTE data, no caps, and you get 2.5GB at LTE speeds for tethering.

Thanks.
Now just time to wait and see if the bootloader is actually locked. Damn shame if it is

But now that's a grandfathered in plan. If you drop it (or are a new customer) and want Unlimited LTE with no caps, its $30 and 5GB of tethering.

Honestly T-Mobile only saves you money if you bring your own device. If you finance a phone you're already up there with AT&T.
Plan starts at $50
Add $30 for unlimited data
$10 for jump
$23-29.50 for your phone.
I switched the day before the old $20 unlimited plan was removed and brought my nexus 5 so it did end up saving me money but most people want to get a shiny new phone.
