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?

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).

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.

I currently have an infuse 4g and still have my unlimited data plan. I know a couple of ATT reps are on the forum here, do you know if I will be able to stay grandfathered into unlimited data if I upgrade to the note? I was able to when I upgraded from my captivate to the infuse, really hoping I can with the note.

From what I understand, yes, but your safest bet is to go into the store to preorder to make sure it happens (I think). I've also read you want to be sure to call customer service when you receive your phone and talk to them BEFORE you activate -- I guess some people have also lost unlimited data this way.
Still kicking myself for dropping my unlimited data last summer to "save money" for vacation
I wont be preordering, as I need to wait for summer to build up some excess cash. Ill be using my dad's upgrade, then switching the phone to my line. There isn't LTE in my area yet, but I know there will be in the future, and I don't want any caps if at all possible. I usually use at least 2 gigs a month already, and the hspa+ in my area is really only marginally faster than 3g. Once I'm on LTE I know that I will definitely use more than 3 gigs a month, so hopefully I will be able to keep unlimited.
Anybody who has unlimited and is upgrading, please weigh in to confirm.
If I can't keep it, I may try to convince my parents to switch to sprint where I can have unlimited and stay future proof as data speeds increase.

Just so you know before you go making big decisions, there have already been speculations of Sprint stopping their unlimited plans for LTE phones. And since WiMax is now dead, their other 4g phones will be relegated to their current coverage with no expansion, which isn't that great IMO. I also think they will not be grandfathering people from their current unlimited plans as they didn't with the hotspots. Other carriers carried over grandfathered plans on hotspots and so they did with phones but sprint just said, Sorry we don't offer it anymore and all the sudden people lost unlimited data. Though they did offer people relatively cheap options to buy out of their broadband contracts it still blows
If you're not using your own upgrade to get the Note then there should be no worry of losing the unlimited data from upgrading your dad's line. I would definitely call customer service and let them know before you put your SIM card in the note. Tell them what you're doing and that you want to make sure you don't lose your unlimited data when activating the new phone.
this phone so far is not able to be pre-ordered in any AT&T store (unless they changed in the last 4 hours.)
Liq is correct, i spoke with a gal at AT&T Premier support whilst i was pre-ordering the Note on the AT&T Premier website and she wrote down on my "file" that i am mostly concerned with losing my grandfathered-in unlimited data plan. she said as long as i call them back after i receive the Note in the mail and have THEM activate it that i will not lose the grandfathered-in unlimited data plan. to activate it yourself is where you can lose the grandfathered-in unlimited data plan...total crap IMO but there it is.

Yes grandfathered, different data plan / billing code to support LTE but still unlimited none the less. Also the LTE android devices usually have visual voicemail like the iPhones included in the data plan unless you request to opt out of it.

Not always the case, but when it does happen is usually for 1 of 2 reasons. 1.) you just put your sim card in the new phone and never called at&t to have the IMEI number updated on your account and the correct corresponding unlimited data plan added changed over. P.S. Galaxy note requires a LTE SIM... (SIM ONLY SHOWS GLOBE DOESN'T SAY AT&T ON IT) 2.) You upgraded online, especially when through a third party such as Amazon, and didn't pay attention to the radio buttons and choose lets say 3GB instead of unlimited.

If you do it like this, you don't lose your unlimited data. Anyone who had unlimited data, and felt like they had to change to a 3 gig plan or something else simply missed the option.
The reason it makes everyone choose a "new" data plan, is because the system codes are different from unlimited 3g/hspa+ and unlimited LTE. (and unlimited iphone for that matter.)

They only show up if you currently have an unlimited data plan, if you are not on unlimited, you will not see the options. Just like any new customers only see the 300MB/3GB/5GB Data, and not the 200MB/2GB/4GB data plans anymore for the $5 difference, which is a better deal anyways vs $10 additional regularly.

Weird, I'm currently on a grandfathered unlimited plan, yet when I attempt to do a pre-order, there is no option for me to choose "unlimited" at all, just the limited plans... :/

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.

Got my HTC One yesterday and this morning I get a text from AT&T saying "Did you know an eligible data plan is required for your LTE device? Please call 611 to select a plan and establish your LTE data connection today".
I've had an unlimited plan for years, although I don't use GB's worth of data each month (use Wifi at home and at work). Do I really need to switch over to one of those plans?
You need to call and get them to switch you to an unlimited LTE plan. I had the same when I came from an iPhone. You are grandfathered so if they give you any trouble remind them. But they should be able to get your taken care of. You will get those messages until you switch

Everyone on an unlimited plan gets throttled, there are no longer unlimited plans, BUT AT&T makes exceptions for some people, and some people don't see any throttling at all. I don't know what warrants this exception to the rule, but "unlimited" is simply a word now and only means unlimited to a degree, everyone is supposed to get throttled (3GB at 3G, 5GB at LTE).
Call AT&T and have them switch you from the regular unlimited plan to the LTE version. They should keep your unlimited in tact.

Thanks they did transfer me to unlimited LTE no questions asked. A few months ago when I was on the road for a few weeks I did use up a lot of mobile data and I did get a message saying I was going to be throttled. I believe I got that after using about 3GB.
I have unlimited + 200 texts, and I was told that they couldn't let me keep the 200 texts and upgrade to LTE unlimited. I would have to get unlimited text for an extra $10 to get LTE

I guess so. I called CS and they supposedly were able to split it into a $30 unlimited LTE + $5 200 text plan. I'll check my account later to make sure this was the case.
Make absolutely certain that, after changing over to the LTE unlimited plan that they don't screw you over. They took mine away after I had been swapped to it. I checked the account the next day and saw that my unlimited data was removed and called them and got it re-enabled.
After I upgrade/change features I ALWAYS check on it. I absolutely do not trust AT&T.
Currently rocking a Marble White SAMSUNG SGH-I747... next one will be an HTC ONE!
I just switched from 4gb to 10gb data for a few dollars more. They have a special going on for the 10gb. $100 +15 each line. Att rocks
I live in a Major metropolitan area.
I pay 70 bucks a month for T-Mobile which is comparable to ATT here (Phoenix area which is big for T-MO).
I get unlimited everything with no throttling. Last month I used about 10GB w/o a hiccup (I may have been going ROM crazy and bypassing all the WIFI restrictions on downloads since I was at work...lol). ROM - LOAD - TEST FOR 2 DAYS - WIPE - NEW ROM - LOAD - REPEAT
T-MO wins.

I get unlimited everything with no throttling. Last month I used about 10GB w/o a hiccup (I may have been going ROM crazy and bypassing all the WIFI restrictions on downloads since I was at work...lol). ROM - LOAD - TEST FOR 2 DAYS - WIPE - NEW ROM - LOAD - REPEAT
T-MO wins.

Yeah, I've been debating on moving to this plan since it rolled out. I currently have the unlimited data plan, 700 minutes to share between two phones with a rollover bank of about 7000 minutes since we rarely use more than a hundred combined, and unlimited texts and mms. I've been hesitant to switch because, while we are generally under 10 gigs, I sometimes get a little data crazy and we reach between 12-15 gigs combined. Do you know what they charge for overages per gig? Also, I assume that includes unlimited calls and texts? TIA for your reply

Overages is $15 a gb if you go over. If you let them know before you go over you can change your plan to higher data for $10 a gig more. Just go with the 10gb. That should be sufficient enough for 2 people. My wife and i have it we are on separate accounts. Just got it today and im happy that i dont have to worry about going over. Plus if you both are on the same contract you save a lot.
I just went from the 4gb plan on FAM share with 2 phones total. Went on the site to see what its about under my account and it showed my contract was 4gb for 150. It showed I could change to 10gb for 130. I definitely don't use near 10 unless I'm away from WiFi and still don't use near 10 but better to be on the safe side. I read all the fine print and hoopla and I saw nothing of extra charges or drawbacks. Took the 10gb and as I see so far a cheaper bill and more gigs. I see win win.

Aw, I looked to see if I could upgrade my data plan on my ancient non-existent plan and nope. Ah well.
Eventually one of the newer plans might make more sense, but every time I've done the math in the past, it turns out to be more expensive.
This is the mobile share value plan. If you're out of contract or you have your own phone, you get the 15 dollar pricing instead of 40. Its nothing special tbh

to me its worth it $130 phone bill for 10gb of data. and the data is crazy fast with att. ive measured a friends phone at work with speedtest and he hits 8mb/s on verizon,my old tmobile was at 7mb/s and with att ive hit 40mb/s. thats high speed data. ITS WORTH IT!!
my opinion.
Starting 4 days ago 10gb of data is the same cost as 6gb, for 80$ and 12gb is 100$

Well, when someone tries to spoon-feed you poop and tries to convince you that it's caviar, that's the type of response you're going to get.
If my unlimited "vanishes", so will my account with big red. No skin off my back.

Typical verizon, we don't care if our customers like our crap or are happy, as long as we have them by the gonads, we're happy.
If verizon cancels my unlimited it will void my contract and I will take my 3 lines and 140 dollar a month of business somewhere else.
The ONLY reason Verizon still has my business is for the unlimited plan. Loosing that, looses a customer. Their comstant locking down phones is frusterating.
I'm not on anyone's side just so you know unlimited plans make up less then 5% of their business and no one has LTE or even basic coverage like Verizon.

In my area of travel, ATT actually has the best coverage & LTE speeds. I am a Verizon customer & my signal is poor compared to my wife's on ATT.
If I loose my unlimited, I am gone to ATT. I can get better deal on 10gb plan.
That's great for you but for many it's not like that.

I get 15 gigs of data for 100$ I also got Verizon to give me 1 gig of data as a promo.
Iv only been with Verizon for about 2yrs.
I work from the Artic Ocean/North Slope of Alaska to South TX. Hands down Verizon rules where I'm at as stated 4G and basic. I had 10 go plan but jumped last month for 30 bucks more to the 30gb plan. For 130 I get 32gb (I also have an additional 2gb of promo) it's not unlimited but for current pricing and comparison to other companies it's the only way to go for me. I think it's like 225 or something crazy now if you want 30gb.
If you are on an unlimited plan and you use more than 30GB...my guess is that Verizon wouldn't mind you leaving their network! Some of you make it seem like Verizon needs your business. lol
Thank you for letting us know about this option. How does one go about getting it? I previously had Unlimited Data. I didn't want to pay the outrageous price at the time for a Note 3 outright from Ebay, Swappa, etc. So I dropped my Unlimited to 6GB. Not that I fully use 6GB anymore. Dropped Spotify once I dropped Unlimited Data. The 10GB would be a nice option.

Here is what I found out about this upgrade.
Me:Was there any truth behind the 10gb of data is the same cost as 6gb?
VZW: That is correct with our More Everything plans, that share within Unlimited talking and texting with a shared amount of data.

Yeah. my plan is 3g shared with 3 phones. We bend over for the man a lot with the bill... but I got tired of hopping around carriers. Besides the painful cavity search with my money, I'll stick with Verizon til AT&T owns them... like everything else.

Since I'm on month-to-month, if my unlimited disappears, I'll just throw a T-Mobile SIM into my phone and get my unlimited back.

Att can never own Verizon, a Verizon is 10x the size of att, they generate more revenue and fcc and ftc would never allow the merger it would create a monopoly also I represent att if anything they going under before Verizon

I see you got digs for all the other carriers. Problem is, people aren't going to continue to get raped with these prices. So, Verizon will keep losing customers until they get better prices and plans.
So, when I lose my unlimited I can either:
- Pay $80/mo. for 1 GB of data on Verizon
or
- Pay $80/mo. for UNLIMITED data on T-Mobile.
That's a no-brainer. I've been a loyal customer of Verizon for years and years. But when my unlimited comes to an end, so will my loyalty because these new plans and pricing are just flat-out garbage.
I'm not going to stay on the same carrier to pay alot more and get alot less. Never going to happen.
