Hi I am in a tmobile family plan right now and my contract is about to expire and I want to get the tmobile samsung galaxy s3 at walmart but I do not have a data plan on my contract. So my question is what data plan do i have to get to get the samsung galaxy s3 . Can I get the 200mb data plan or do I have to get the 2gb data plan?
Why dont you go to tmobiles website?

Yeah, you can just get the 200mb if that's all you need. Of course they are gonna try and sell you the bigger ones.

Call at&t (611) and tell them to update your iPhone data plan to a LTE plan.

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.

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'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.
Order International GS3 online, then go to Att retailer and sign a contract with a dumb phone so I can have unlimited data for 10 bux, then put sim card to my GS when I get it. Will this work?
Yes it will. I have that atm

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...

Smart phones require a smartphone data plan. No if amds or buts.

Well, even if you do not upgrade or receive upgrade discount on the phone device?

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.

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.
