i am worry if i call them i would lose my iphone unlimitted data plan, i though it will works if you have any smart phone plans
Just tell them you need the plan changed to LTE, but want to keep unlimited. I had an unlimited iPhone plan from a 3GS and have been transitioned to a normal 4g/hspa+ plan for a Titan, to an LTE plan for the GS3 and haven't lost unlimited.
^^^^ +1. This.
You will NOT lose unlimited. Just say "I need to update my data plan to unlimited LTE please".....almost everyone on XDA (or those who still have unlimited) have done this many times. No worries.

No problem, they will keep you on the unlimited plan -

Unlimited will be yours until either you remove it or when at&t pulls a Verizon and makes you give it up when upgrading ...and yes, chances are your data isn't working because you aren't on LTE.

I was told by a Verizon Rep. that it would not cost anything extra. Unlimited data is unlimited data. You just have to get a 4g phone and hook it up. But, I found this hard to believe so who knows.

How are you getting unlimited data for your whole family for 30 a month. One phone alone on our family plan the data is 30 and the other phone is 24 because of discount.
Am I missing a good deal somewhere lol

Agreed data plans are deff not covered buy family share plans,I have to pay $30 for 3 diff lines each month.Only our minutes and text is included.As for 4G I wouldnt think they charge anything extra besides technically its really not even 4G just an upgraded 3G

i meant 30 per person lol
Darn I was hoping there was a deal out there. Guess not w/verizon lol. I heard 4g data would be same price as 3g but once again this is verizon we talking about.

4G is same as 3G. I switched from a Fascinate to a Thunderbolt with no problems. They gave me a SIM card with my number from the Fascinate on it and I left the store happy.
I have no 4G towers close to me yet, though.
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'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

lol i got on the chat and called and they kept *****ing about LTE =p so i gave up
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.

Hey guys, if anybody could provide me with some solid/sure answer to my noobish curiosity, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Okay, I'm currently on a Verizon basic phone (talk & text, no data). Since I like the Note II so much, I might get one off contract, provide if Verizon would give me a miniSIM Card with no data plan on it. I have WIFI at work and at home, so I don't really see the point of paying for $30 Data.
Although I'm due for upgrade in April, I would like save the $30 per month for the next two years.
Anyway, Note II OFF-Contract on Verizon with no data plan? Is that possible? Thanks...

Yup. Welcome to Verizon. I know T-Mobile will let you since they goofed and did it to my on accident. But far as I am still aware at&t, Verizon and sprint all require a data plan on smart phones regardless of how you buy it.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Yes Verizon will require data on a smart phone regardless.
The imei identifies the device on the network.
It is illegal to change it.
Its how they make there money...if it was possible everyone would do it.

You could always just use it as a big media player. Youll get the same functionality as you are expecting to get already sans the phone and texting useage. Ive got a friend that uses an original note for that purpose. Of course his is the korean version so its a no go on the phone side anyway. Of course that would be a very expensive meda player!

I have two. Although one was bricked and now off for repairs. Didn't want to wait to get it back so I bought another one.
Thanks for all the responses from everyone. I guess Verizon Note II is out of the question. Going to go T-Mobile prepaid mid-june.
$30/month for a) 5GB of 4G Data, Unlimited Text, 100 mins. Or b) 1500 whenever minutes or text (no data-- just use WIFI).

Was on the verge of switching to AT&T until Verizon new announcement that they will carry the ONE. My question is for all that are here. What is the average data usage with the One? I have unlimited on 2 lines with Verizon and if something happens to my unlimited I'm leaving.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
The best thing you can do is to look at your prior data use on vzw.com. Some people use a ton of data, some not so much.
I did this when I switched from Verizon to AT&T and found I only average 3gb. Losing unlimited was no big deal after seeing that.
Research your own use and see how it looks. Switching to AT&T actually saved me a bundle.

I just switched from tmobile unlimited found out I rarely go over 2g so I should be good for 3. And I like att plans got 450 anytime minutes with unlimited cell phone to cell phone no matter the carrier and unlimited text. Almost all my calls are to it from a cell phone so I thought that was cool phone bill should be less then 100

For Verizon, to keep your unlimited you will have to purchase your phone at FULL price. Otherwise, to get a contract price you will have to switch to their 4G LTE plans.
As for how much data the phone uses, that really depends on how often you are around WiFi.

That is like not having unlimited data plan if they will force you to pay extra to keep your plan unlimited.
