Has anyone upgraded to this? I want to since I'll pay the same and get unlimited voice. But the lady on my chat session said I'll have to pay $90 for both lines plus the $60 for the data, I undesrstood that, then she said I still had to pay for the $10 premium data on each line, which made no sense. Is that true or is she wrong I'll have to start another chat later

I was just about to call them and ask. From what I read there is no $10 fee attached. Its simply $30 for unlimited data on smartphones or $10 for unlimited data on dumb phones. I will post back after I talk to someone.

Right, also, there is no indication that we have to pay that extra $10 (so $40 total for data) And if you try to change your plan online (which you can't right now) It says that the $30 unlimited data plan, has the same features as the $10 premium data plan, so I have to remove the premium data service from my line (which you can't)
So no premium $10 fee BUT if you have a employer discount the discount goes against the $30 data package, not the $50 talk/text rate which sucks.

No kidding, give me unlimited data for life and a plan for limited minutes at a cheaper rate. With Hangouts now allowing voice calling I could call less about unlimited minutes. Give me like 200 or something.
I switched to it because it only affected my cost for two lines by about $5 there was confusion about the $10/Line and she spoke to a supervisor and confirmed it is no longer charged.

I'm a new AT&T subscriber. When I signed up, I accidentally signed up for the $39.99 Media Max Unlimited. I'm not sure why I signed up for it, maybe it was required? Well, after making a call yesterday, the CS rep put me on the $29.99 Blackberry Unlimited plan. I don't do any sort of text messaging...maybe 5 a month if that, thus the reason for the change. Is the Blackberry plan ok? Am I going to get hit with a bunch of data charges at the end of this month? Is there a better plan?
Sorry for all the questions, but I'm new to all these AT&T plans (ex-Sprint customer here).
Thanks!
If you have a PDA you are supposed to be on the PDA plan, $39.99. Now that doesn't mean that you will get caught being on the wrong plan, I am amazed that with the Tilt you were able to get the phone rep to lower your plan. Do you have a Tilt or the Kaiser?
I may be wrong but I remember reading some fine print on this:
Mail in rebates, $100, you will not get these anymore if you do not stay with the $39.99 or higher data plan
Discount of $150 instant will be reduced with out the correct data plan. It will show up on your next bill.
If you are trying to save some cash and cut corners(bascially not follow correct policy) and risk losing money stick with what you have. If you want to be correct you need to have the $39.99 plan.
This is what I read, please correct me if I am wrong so I can change my plan.

Hmm. Thanks for the clarification. I'll have to wait and see. I have the Tilt, and I have a business discount with them (I had no rebates - $200 Company Discount, and a $400 Web Discount). I went back through the purchase screens (as if I were a new customer buying through my corporate discount page), and neither the plan she switched me from nor the one she switched me to exist. What's weird is, I don't even see the MediaNet Unlimited plan that was on my phone. All that's listed are business data plans (with multiple options under each section not listed below) :
DataConnect Add-On
PDA Enterprise with Cellular Video Add-On
PDA Enterprise Tethering Add-On
PDA Enterprise for BlackBerry Connect Add On
I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens with my first bill.
if you have the $39.99 plan you qualify for the rebates even if you purchased your phone through the business section. So you can print them out and mail them in. There should be 2 $50 rebates.
I am not 100% on how the business plans work for you. I know for my I get a % off my bill but when they quote me rates they always use the full price and I don't see any discounts until I get my bill.

At $10 savings per month, I'll gamble and see if I can swing the 29.99 plan. An additional $100 off the price of the phone would sure be nice though!
i am sure you will be fine if you got them to switch it for you. Especially since you got the phone through business.
Just don't contact ATT for service or support, thats how mine got switched to the 40 dollar plan.

Actually it says:
"Requires activation on a PDA Personal Plan or a $39.99 or higher unlimited data rate plan plus an AT&T Voice Plan of $39.99 or higher"
So it can be a PDA Personal for $29.99 but it has a 20Mb per month limit.
look the easy fix is this...stay on the PDA connect plan until you get the notice from att that the rebate has been processed and is on its way back to you, then dump it. Problem solved

Hey Guys, what is the Big Deal, see at&t don't waste their time or money on tracking who is using what, at the time of rebate, I am not sure they even look it up in the computer, they will check what you sent them, the form etc and just quick look, upload it to their database and they will send you a check. as for Internet, don't even touch it, it is saving you 10 dollar a month, don't know if its any money, but if you are a finance person you would know its alot.

The rebate processing agencies and AT&T make money off people that don't qualify for the rebates. That's why they really do the due diligence on paperwork. I once had a rebate rejected because I switched plans, and the rebate was of course processed much later after I sent it in. Everyone should pay attention to the fine print when it comes to rebates.
I was scrounging by on the media net 5/mb w/ limited texting for 20/mo while using an Audiovox SMT5600. I upped to the $40/mo PDA plan the day before my Kaiser arrived. Sure, I'd like to pay less, but it is what it is and I want the service. I've got a laptop for tethering when needed too. I’m not locked in to my voice or data plan however and that's how I want to keep it.
Im still on media max`
Im still on my media max plan for 19.99 that I had with my last "smartphone" works just fine. have had that plan for about 2 months now. I also did not risk sending in for the rebates since that would cost me more in the future if i had to switch plans.
FYI: I thought you guys might want to know
AT&T is lowering their data plan to $30 for unlimited data & messaging. Unfortunately, this offer is only for regular phone (exclude PDA and smartphone).
I just called and AT&T knows the type of phone I have by reading my phone IMEI#.
Unless you can fool them by changing your IMEI # to your old broken phone (I think it might not legal).
Thats odd, I've been paying $30 for unlimited data since I got my phone last September.

I pay $30 dollars for unlimited data, but another $30 for unlimited family texts, between an iPhone , Tilt, LG Vu and Samsung Propel. With the wife and kids averaging over 8,000 texts a month, I am getting my $30 worth.
Guys,
I need your help! From time to time I hear success stories on people activating their Woot Galaxy Tabs on a Sprint Month to Month plan. I tried in 3 stores as well as calling employee sales (as a SERO customer I am routed to Employee care) and have been told that there are NO non contract [email protected]!
HELP!
It's B.S, the reps you've spoken to either are trying to force a contract on you for their commissions or they do not know their job. Unfortunately, you just have to keep trying or just walk into a Sprint direct store and see what happens.
Or just get the $11 prepaid data from boost, and flash your tab.

Do you have info or a link about Boost's $11 data plan? Did you have to call customer service? I've searched and only see the plan mentioned here and on some blogs.
these guys(http://www.robostars.com/) claim to do it, they even have a video of it functioning. they charge a hefty price however ($109), but you'll get unlimited internet for $11 a month,, but the price is a turnoff. < I have not done this nor went to the site...Just linking you to what the guy left who left you empty handed was talking about. COmment on what you think after reading the site..Maybe this is something we can do ourself...Im to lazy to go to the site since they are charging.
I actually just went to the Sprint store to ask about a M2M plan. They told me they could not do it because if you're not on a contract, they can't legally force you to pay your bills. I swear to any god you want me to swear to that is what they said. M2M plans can't be forced to pay their bills.

I went to my local corporate store to upgrade to a white Vivid and was told that in order to do so I will have to give up my unlimited data plan and be switched to LTE plan. The kicker is that LTE is not even available here and will not be in the near future. Needless to say I said no thanks and walked away. Has anyone else ran into a similar issue and is there a way around it?

Not factual, or did not ask.
I got my White Vivid off contract so I had to call AT&T to switch my data plan. After about a 15 min. call I was able to keep my unlimited data plan. Some CSR's can't do it so you have to speak to/get permission from their supervisor.
Edit:
Although technically the unlimited data plan isn't unlimited. They give you a 10238976 MB (9,999 GB) limit. I don't know when they start throttling though.

I got unlimited 4G LTE. Unfortunately many att store reps can't do it, they'll have to call 611 also, that's how he did it for me to keep my unlimited, he couldn't do it in the store through their system for some reason.

This makes no sense. Why would they lie???
@slimslim. that's what the store rep told me, that the system is not allowing him to retain my current data plan. I am going to call 611 later tonight and will try to order over the phone.

I live in Cabot, AR it is by Little Rock, AR if that helps you out.
I did the iPhone 2g loophole without any issues so I'd try another rep. When I went from the iPhone back to the Vivid my data wouldn't work and I called in and they wouldn't switch it. Went to the store and they did it in a couple minutes.

I'm presently on a 3g (Blackberry) phone with an AT&T unlimited data plan and presently my bill breaks down as folows:
450 min - $40
1500 Txt msgs - $15
Unlimited data - $30
Total - ~$85
Question: Essentially keeping all my fetures unchanged, will my bill go up if I switch to this unlocked GT-N7000 Note?
Thanks
If it relates to the AT&T note, you are in the wrong forum. It has its own forum.
how will your bill go up if you stay on an unlimited data plan?
in my Country there is no unlimited data plan yet. But, blackberry services in more expensive compared to Normal data plan.

Figuring that they charge for everything, I just wanted to make sure that AT&T doesn't charge more for HSPA+ over 3G
Nope... You are all set. Just make sure they DO NOT change your data plan to a tiered one if you go in and talk to them (I just did it without telling ATT anything).
There is a good post on how to set it up on XDA for use on AT&T with the APN and such if you buy one!
You guys sure pay a lot for your plans in the states. I thought that the UK was bad. I currently pay £32 for 1100 mins, unlimited texts, and 500MB data. Plus the phone was free on the contract. These prices are much higher than they were a few years ago, too.
