[q] upgrade with unlimited package - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My brother is looking to finally get rid of his blackberry and wants this phone. He plans on upgrading either through website or att store.
He still has his unlimited data plan which brings me to my question, to anyone who has recently upgraded; if he upgrades, will he still be able to keep his unlimited data plan. Does he have to do something special to keep it?

i was able to keep my unlimited plan when i upgraded from my iphone 3gs to this...

He will get to keep his plan as Pirate has said. He is grandfathered in, just as my dad was from his iPhone 3GS.

That's good, wish I has the money for an unlimited package before they left. Thanks for your help.

Data Plans

Hey all,
I was looking into buying a Streak 7 but the data plans at tmobile are just terrible comparing to lets say verizon on a xoom or galaxy tab. I mean 30$ a month for 200mb where verizon gives 1gb for 20$. I guess my real question here is does this thing use a lot of data? or will 200mb be good for web browing/engadgeting? I can tether from my phone but the whole point of me buying said tablet is to avoid that.

Yes,web connect plans are kind of pricey on t-mobile. Hopefully that will change. I get the 5gb unlimited for 40 due to having a phone line also (20% discount). But they offer specials all the time too. I think its like that because they include free tmobile wifi hotspots as well.
you could always buy on upsubsidized through dell or amazon.

My brother has unlimited data and tethers his xbox for online play and other stuff he normally does on his phone. He never hits 5gb. Although he doesn't use it for computers which I'm sure would use now data

Yes you can, you just have to create two APN.
One for data and one for MMS

$5.99 T-Zones still working fine here. Been with T-Mo for, wow about 8 years now. Used the same plan and SIM with my Treo 650 (and Handspring VisorPhone before that) until I got my N1 in January 2010.
Only have 300 min and 400 sms per month, but it's more than I need with unlimited data. Bill is only $44/mo including fees.
Always had good experiences with T-mo customer service too. The thought of them being swallowed by AT&T makes me want to cry.
I'm sure if the deal goes through the T-Zones ride will end.

There is no more t-zones available to new customers. But I believe you can still get the web2go which is $10/month. I am using that right now and the best way to get it is through it's website.

[Q] Verizon data package

So I just saw that Verizon has tiered their data plans. I am currently on their unlimited data plan and my contract is up in Dec of 2012 will I have to switch to one of their tiered packages when my contract is up? What if I choose to upgrade my device thus extending my contract? Will it stay the same?

If you extend your contract, even if you get a 4G phone and add 4G into the contract, it'll still be unlimited. If you let your contact end and want to come back at a later time, its going to be tiered.

SERO Plan

A few of my family members had/have SERO plans through my bro. Two brothers updated to smart phones and lost their plan. My mom still has a flip phone, and I thought you could keep the SERO plan if u upgraded, but pay a $10 fee. I'd like to give her my Evo LTE. Can I make this happen, and who do I talk to?

If you upgrade on the website then it makes you change plans. I have to use telesales, and call sprint to do the activation.
My bro claims he tried fighting to keep his plan upgrading phones, and they would not allow him to keep it upgrading to a smart phone.
