How to get Unlimited Data on AT&T

I'm just transferring this thread from the Atrix forum for those that would be interested in getting onto (or back onto) AT&T's unlimited data plan rather than the tiered plans they offer.
It requires an IPhone 2G in order to do it and a sim card that has not been previously registered on an IPhone.
It does work, I did it on my own lines with ease.

I have a friend that does that...you send him $$ and your login info..he sends you back a sim with unlimited data

AT&T's policies do allow anyone with an unlimited plan to keep their unlimited data when moving to a different smartphone, so if any rep says otherwise, then tell them to look it up in their reference material, called myCSP......just a little inside info

Can't find a iPhone 2g locally to save my life. Anyone know who offers this service

Just throwing this out there, starting this month they will be throttling data speeds if you go over 2GB on the unlimited data plans. You can go over but it will be sloooow.

I'll save $5 and keep it under 2gb.

I was lucky enough to have an unlimited data plan grandfathered in from last year when i had my previous Android cell (Motorola Backflip)

Hey, I was just wondering, does it have to be an unactivated sim card that's never been used on a 2g.. or does it just have to be a sim card that hasn't been
used on a 2g phone..
and i have an old 2g phone, it lights up but you can't really go into anything on it.. basically a black screen just lit up.. it's recognized in itunes too..

it served it's purpose for a year and a half... made the mistake of getting the FIRST android based phone AT&T released... did i like it? 50/50

I had one for three days because I HAD to try Android. Had promise but fell short. I still have people bringing them into the store for service every now and then these days.

since at&t counts data in bytes,
it would make sense that your speed would lower after 20001 bytes, right?

I have no idea but are you still tethering? Like as in are you still tethering hours later? If so, you might want to watch how much you're tethering. If you push it too far, AT&T can find out and put you on a tethering plan.

Right now I'm on Sprint and would like to move over to AT&T but like most of you want unlimited data. If I switch I will get 3 lines (family plan) 2 iphone 4s's for my two sisters and 1 Samsung Skyrocket for me. Anyone know if its possible for us to get unlimited data?

[Q] Data Plan

Not sure if anyone know's but let's say I get two of these phones one for me and one for the wife and Only one needs Data considering I am home all day with wi-fi access. Is there a way to get it so I can call in and drop one of the data plans after getting the phone?

The only way you could do that is if you buy it off contract. The carrier will force you to have a data plan.

Well what if I buy it and say I sold the phone and plug in My OLD Motorola Rokr to the Sim when I call them. I mean they can't prove that I didn't sell it.

But the network knows your imei and att will know what kind of phone it is.
Would your plan work? Probably. Would it be surprising for att to surprise you with automatically adding a data plan later? No.
If you look online at your account it will show you what phone you have. I once tested their system with a few phones I got from friends. One was an att branded flip phone, one was a unlocked HTC WinMo phone with a custom ROM, and another was a TMo blackberry. Each time within a day or two the website updated itself with my phone.

you'll be able to switch to another data plan when you change device
or outright remove it
but when you switch back to the thrill it will detect it and automatically add the $15mb 200 meg data plan
just do the iphone or unlocked smartphone idea to get her unlimited data. that way at least she can listen to pandora, stream videos, and use gps when she's out.

I have heard of the iPhone idea but what's the unlocked Smartphone idea. I mean I have an unlocked T-Mobile Mytouch 4G (That Work?)

plenty of other ways, port out number to another carrier.....port it back in, dont have to use same rate plan when you come back, dif phone now, no data needed...

Any time you put your Sim card in a smartphone, the phone will update the IMEI on your account and send you a text saying it added the plan within about two days of use. Pretty much no way around it that I know of.

The price of your phone is subsidized by the contracted data plan. As far as I know they would leave it on your account no matter what actual phone you are using, since they gave you a $550 phone and will be getting their money back one way or another.

Not actually. You can start a contract with a smartphone but later change your IMEI to a regular phone and drop the data altogether. They get their money back from your monthly rate plan.

So why are data plans contracted and required on some (smart) phones and not others?

Data plans aren't contracted. smartphones require data plans because of the large amounts of
data they consume due to the full html browser, app downloading, and app data use.

Interesting. I don't have too much experience with ATT but on TMobile when I got a BB and sold it, I attached a different phone and tried to remove the Data plan and it gave me a disconnection fee. I had to get a sales rep friend work some magic, when ATT says that a phone "requires data and a 2 year contract" I just put 2 and 2 together. Glad to hear I'm not locked into a data plan.

That's crazy that t mobile contracts plans. No wonder they're going out of business lol. with AT&T, pretty much the only thing that is contracted is your service. You can change any rate plan or data plan anytime as long as it's within the guidelines for your device.

Makes sense to me. Data usage of a phone has nothing to do with a required data plan. You can always turn it off (the data) from the phone. Getting money back for a more expensive phone is a much better excuse to require data. I'm still doubting that I can just change to a flip phone and turn off my data plan on ATT. I liked tmobile (and still do) better than ATT. I just wanted a Thrill and I joined my Dads plan so I pay less, but I almost payed the same with my own plan on Tmobile without splitting the bill with anyone. ATT is way more expensive.

I keep hearing this. I shopped around and couldn't find another carrier that had a significantly reduced rate from what I pay.
5 lines
2 smart phones w/unlimited data
2 non-smart phones w/unlimited data
1 non-smart phone not on any data plan
1500 minutes
unlimited text
Total monthly=~$230
We had 2100 minutes but since AT&T went free mobile to mobile calling and up 10 non-cell lines free to and from calling, we had a ton of rollover minutes.
US Cellular was like $250
Verizon was $160 before you even threw in data plans and insurance
Sprint is terrible in my area for reception
T-mobile was ~$240
Granted I get 15% off my bill so it'd be a bit more expensive. But when price comparing, all the companies are about the same when it comes to family packages.

I have 4 lines
3 smartphones w/ $25 data
1 regular Joe
Insurance on all 4
Unlimited texting for all
Around $225 before my discount

Mobile to Mobile is sweet

Clearing things up
Ok ok ok, so I work for ATT Customer Care, and I have to deal with this every darn day. ATT's systems are smarter than you, sorry, it's true. They do random sweeps and see what IMEI (id for phone) the sim card is attached to. They also look at the calls, and every call has an IMEI attached to it. I promise you, even if you buy the phone outright, or say you have a different phone, it will catch you. It will also notify you saying your busted, and it will put on the $25 2gb with $10/1gb overage on it. You cannot get around it, sorry. The only way was to have a smartphone exclusion on the acct, and that is not possible because you are changing IMEI's. Sorry, deal with it.
On a side now, if you want unlim data, then buy an ORIGINAL iPhone, put it on your acct for a few days, call back in and have the imei changed to the thrill, and you get to keep the data package.
Have a great day!

Free wifi tethering now free from verizon

Sorry if this is old news(I didnt see a thread about it), but finally the govt does a little something right. And its kinda nice to see greedy Verizon get slapped in the face. :/

sorry im a new user cant post links

Unless I missed something it doesn't necessarily mean that tethering will be free. What the govt. did was slap them on the wrist for blocking tethering apps in the app store, forcing customers to use their paid app. I could be wrong, though. Anyhow I've heard that a number of people were already tethering anyhow. Just don't go overboard on the data usage even if you have an unlimited plan.

this.

It wasn't just for blocking users from using third party programs, it was for charging LTE subscribers to tether, period (especially users on limited tiered pricing). That is why the share everything plans all include free hotspot now.

Now I'm tempted to get a share everything plan. Can anyone recommend any apps to wifi tether on the market?

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Would you even need a 3rd party app on a shared plan if hotspot is included? Wouldn't that use the built-in app?

If you are on share everything, then you can just use the built-in hotspot.

Here is an interesting article regarding FCC's ruling:
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57...eans-to-you-faq/?part=rss&subj=news&tag=title

People definitely need to read that CNET article. Anyone on an older unlimited plan still has to pay to tether. It's only existing customers with a fixed amount of data per month who can tether for free.

This ruling makes no sense at all. Why would it allow wifi tether on tiered plans but not unlimited?

im goingto guess because the deal was for the 4g range not the 3g range.... unliited plans werent for 4g only 3g.

How did you get a bionic early? They didn't release it until after they stopped offering the unlimited plan. I signed up the last weekend unlimited was available and the only 4g phones that were out were the Tbolt, Revolution, and Charge.

I got my bionic in December, then called in February and got switched to unlimited data. They had a loophole for a while where unlimited hotspot was listed in the features section of the website, but it failed if you tried to add it to your plan. You just had to call and many reps would tell you you needed to be on unlimited data to get that, so you just asked then to switch you to unlimited data. The unlimited data was even 29.99 instead of 30 for 2 or 4GB. Plus, if you had any kind of group service discount it applied to the unlimited data but not the tiered plan.

It actually makes COMPLETE sense (for Verizon's sake) - since you will run through your allotted 2GB or whatever plan you have. If you have unlimited, then you can just power your home WiFi or whatever you want, which is not what you're paying for when you have unlimited data for your cell phone.
Anyway, this is XDA, so this shouldn't really matter to anyone here...turn that 1 to a 0 with an SQL editor and enjoy your free tethering.

I have a stock charge and am using foxfi free tethering on unlimited plan. I will have a bionic in 3 days

Seconded. I bought mine release day with an upgrade and the only question I asked the sales rep was that I make sure I stay on unlimited data, which I have. In theory, the ruling should support free tethering on all 4G service, including unlimited.

Its not for service but for the phone. Its part of tmobile value plan where one brings his own device OR tmo sets a financial plan for you where you pay small amount up front(199) and then 20 payments (of 20$)
So 600$ for 16gb version. But the plan is much cheaper than classic. 35 $ for 1000 mins and 10$ for 2 gb plan.
So its a win win get value plan and buy the ph from play store

nexus 4 uses a microsim right?

^Correct, like the iPhone. Though I'm not sure if it's free to get a microsim if you're already a customer.

I agree. For an extra $150, the ability of not having to sign a contract is well worth it. Google just turned the tech world upside down with the phenomenal pricing of the N4 and N10. Every other manufacturer will follow suit.

I went to the T-Mobile store last week to get an Isis sim card for my GS3 last week and wasn't charged. After selling my GS3 to fund the Nexus 4, I had to go back to using a BlackBerry Bold 9700 that uses a standard SIM. Went in, asked for a SIM, they activated it and said have a nice day. You can cut yours down, but I'd go into a T-Mobile store first and ask for one.

Can I go ahead and get a microsim now so I can use the nexus when I get it, and still use my standard sim on my gs2 until then? Or can I only have one sim card at a time?

Service is 100% subjective to the area you are in. Your options for unlimited aren't too plentiful anymore. I won't bother mentioning "unlimited" plans that throttle you hard after your data cap like Straight Talk. For example Sprint is probably generally regarded as the weakest of the big 4 carriers, but for my area it works great and I rarely lose LTE. In very rural areas I at least have 3G fallback, but I never actually drop signal for where I personally travel. Everyone is different.
Sprint: $75 for new plan pricing unlimited data, $45 if you can get in on a Framily plan (new lines only, check http://reddit.com/r/SprintFramily for codes)
ATT: $100 on ATT (you need DirectTV) but on Cricket (throttled to 8mpbs down I believe) unlimited data is only $65 after auto pay using ATT's network
Verizon: lol go look at ebay for transfer of liability on grandfathered plans... no thanks on that initial cost and then the monthly
Tmobile: you don't like them so no point in mentioning them or the MVNOs they run on

TMO sucked for me in Chicago and the burbs, got rid of it went back to my unlimited verizon account

Yes, all their plans have a speed cap

Straight Talk with an AT&T sim card
You get 10 gigs of LTE data through AT&T towers, no speed cap, talk and text.
All for $55/Month or $50/Month with auto-billing.
It's a very great deal considering the amount of data you're getting through AT&T. I just recently switched from MetroPCS.
