At this point, yes - all smartphones (i.e., Android, Blackberry, WebOS, iPhone, and WP7, if they have any of those) on Verizon require the $30 unlimited plan. There is a rumor that Verizon will introduce capped plans this summer and remove the unlimited option, but that is still just a rumor.
You must get the 30 dollar plan unfortunately

I thought you could use the phone without any data, but when you renew, they make you get the data package.

You cannot activate a smartphone on Verizon without the unlimited data plan. Even if you have a contract already, once you try to activate the phone you will be required to add the data plan.
I suppose you could use the phone to dial 911...
Hey guys I just bout my Atrix the other day off contract and I got this text.... AT&T Free Msg: Did you know an eligible data plan is required for your 4G Smartphone? Pls call 611 to select a plan and establish your 4G data connection today and I have the unlimited data plan from forever ago. Am I safe?

I get the message once a week, as well as an email. It happens when you still have the unlimited plan. They can't make you change your plan. I would not worry.

I never got that with my captivate I'm getting it now because this phone has higher data speeds

I've read that they send you those messages and then they change your plan to data if you call them but if you don't they just keep sending you the message without doing actually changing your plan.
But I don't actually have AT&T so I'm just talking from word of mouth(or keyboard if you will...)

So if you call that number by mistake then they change it automatically or do you have to confirm it with them?

they probably want to switch you to the 4g plan, which has an unlimited data option for those grandfathered in.

Is this any better then my current unlimited plan? And are you sure they wouldn't try and swindle me and get rid of my unlimited plan
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
I had iPhone 3GS before and was grandfathered in. Wife was also grandfathered in. All you should have to do is tell them you do not want to lose your unlimited plan, and want to be grandfathered in and you should be set.
If you are unsure, call an AT&T store and ask them without giving your information. Also, make sure you go into a store to have the changes done. When I bought my phone they automatically put me on the 2GB plan and I spent 2 hours trying to get unlimited back, which I got after a manager authorized it.

See that last part is the trouble I don't wanna have to deal with. Can you guys tell me what's the ddifferent between the 4G plan and the regular old unlimited I've had since my 3GS?

with the 4g plan, it allows you to use the phone apn instead of just wap.cingular. using the phone apn, i get speeds of over 7mbps sometimes. using the wap one, i max out at 3.9 where i live. that's the only difference. they activate that apn for you

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
Typed on my White Galaxy Note running ICS 4.0.4
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......

I'm getting a used Vibrant and i was planning on using it on AT&T, but since i have a go phone i was wondering if i could switch to the unlimited plan and get unlimited DATA since its not a AT&T branded phone? Thank you
Hoping someone could help me, thanks
I highly don't recommend this. You'd have to unlock your vibrant to even work with at&t, but even then, this doesn't sound like a good idea. Maybe try a captivate?

By the way, what are you asking? Non-at&t phones have nothing to do with the plan...

Actually, a non-AT&T phone has EVERYTHING to do with getting data. If you use an AT&T Android(like the Captivate), they won't let you access data. Data is blocked for AT&T smartphones on the $50 unlimited GoPhone plan.
So, if you want data on the $50 unlimited plan, you MUST use a non-AT&T phone. The Vibrant is a good choice. It supports the AT&T 3G bands.

just go with net10 or straighttalk...at&t bands, and unlimited everything for approx $45 a month.
I've bounced my vibrant around different at&t mvno's for a couple years now with no problems (short of the mvno's themselves...service/data has been stellar).
been with net10 for a few months now, and so far they've been the easiest and most professional mvno to deal with...their unlimited plan is actualIy better than their parent at&t's for regional use imo....highly recommend them if you are in an area with crappy tmo coverage (like me), or are just tired of tmo.
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).

I never heard of such thing but that would be awesome. Now if they intend to that I'm sure there would be some type of paying plan that would be needed from whatever company that plans to carry this out

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!
