Am not sure if this is the right area for this post but here goes:
Orderd my TYTN II today on my old tariff of £20.00 a month which includes 200 text, 10 photo messages + 5mb data, 1000 minutes off peak.. phone was free and all on a 12 month contract. my total cost for the whole year will be £240. when the large data bundles come out i may go for it but for now i tend to use my m3100 throgh the wi-fi at home. i only tend to download my hotmail/gmail messages or msn when on the move ie twice a week if no wifi is avail. what i am worried about is that it would have been nice to have the Anytime tariff.
I might still get a sim only monthly tariff off T-mobile.
Does anyone know what this will be called on Orange. Are they going the same way as they did with the touch?
its called the Orange TYTN II
Deleted... was talking bollocks!
WOOHOO! Finally got to talk to someone in Retentions who has a brain.
Got the TYTN II for free but had to take an 18mth contract.
Same deal as I was on - £35 (I think) for 500 any time, any network mins, 500 texts.
Probably not the best deal, but beggars cannae be choosers!
F.
good one enjoy.....
Racoon 35
Hi Guys, just got my Kaiser / Tytn 2 on Orange ...
Here's the deal - (I think it's good for the rest of October)
Racoon 35 - £35/month on 18 month contract - this gives 700 across any network minutes, plus 100 text (not a big text guy) .. plus unlimited landline numbers starting 01 or 02.
On the £35 contract, the tytn2 was £89.99 but the package provided cashback on an old phone ... I got £150 c/b on an old nail of a Nokia 3110 ... cashback works on airtime credit so I've bought the phone with four months free use.
They are also providing unlimited data access at evenings and weekends for two months.
Negatives .. No sexy iPhone style HTC black theme .. watch out for the data after two months free use .. the small print automatically puts you on a £5 a month data tariff if you don't opt out (the same with the traffic TV service too).
PS, Just installed Tomtom 6 and the internal GPS works better than my old bluetooth did on my XDA mini.
Wish list ... make the display look like the iPhone
Well, after getting Orange to put £100 credit on my account to upgrade to a free TYTN II on a 12 month contract, I thought I'd phone up their customer services and have a small whinge about their appallingly bad data bundles. Currently I pay £4 for a measly 4mb on an old orange world bundle. Their best offer was £8 for a capped 30mb per month. Eventually, having been fobbed off with a stock answer I was put through to a "supervisor" who agreed, when I mentioned Vodafones £7.50 for 120mb deal, that the Orange one was, perhaps, lacking!
I explained that with modern phones such as the TYTN II having the potential for being far more data intensive (google maps, youtube, skype, bbc streaming etc) that it was about time Orange offered a fair price for a decent or even uncapped data limit.
Apparently, this may happen sooner rather than later, as I was told that new tariffs were being rolled out in March ('08) and that after many complaints data tariffs were also being revamped. I do hope that this does indeed transpire. If anyone has any further info please post...
Hmm. Wonder how much these new data bundles will cost?
Can't see them allowing you to move from an £8/month 30Mb bundle to a cheaper with more data one? or maybe they will surprise us...for once.
Spoke to a nice woman at Orange last month, I told here that I am paying £8 for 30mb and said I wanted to change my data bundle to the 250mb one. She checked and said it was only for business customers as I was on an animal plan, I lied and said a friend rang up a while ago and said he was on an animal plan and they put him on the 250mb package ok , she went and checked with her supervisor and she said that I could go on the 250mb package on my current animal plan
So everyone on the 30mb Orange data bundle, I would phone Orange now and request the much bigger package for less money, am so happy now
Orange World for Business 4 £2.50 4MB £0.80
Orange World for Business 10 £5.00 10MB £0.80
Orange World for Business 250 £6.38 250MB £0.80
Orange World for Business 1024 £17.02 1024MB £0.80
Orange World for Business 2048 £21.28 2048MB £0.80

This has made my day, i'm going to ring them tomorrow and say the same thing, hopefully they will bump me up.
They told me on the phone the next level up from £8 - 30mb was £35 - 80mb, I mean what the hell? Isn't bandwidth supposed to get cheaper the more you buy?
They are so far behind the competition with their data charges it's beyond a joke. Unfortunately for me I live rurally and have no choice but to use Orange as it's the only carrier with a decent signal out here.
Mr Radeon123 was not wrong. Just got myself 250mb for £6.38 per month (which is minus the VAT) so £8.00 or thereabouts is the charge per month. Thanks for the info matey!!!
If they don't bump you up just keep phoning, someone will eventually put you on the business data tariff.
I think the business tariffs should be the normal data tariffs as the current ones are redicolous
Here is my 250mb data bundle screenshot as proof
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v604/Radeon/NewPicture-1.jpg
I'd be shipping off to T-Mobile to be honest.
Shame 3 dont do the handset, there network deals have become good and their data packages are defo better.
Got my better half (not so techie) on a 2mb per day data bundle with Orange and that is FREE for ever. They do charge £0.50 per 50kb if you go over (£10 per mb) so spb gprs monitor is pretty useful.
Having just got the 250mb for £8.00 business bundle put on my personal account, I enquired again about the possibility of updated data bundles coming out in March...
STOP PRESS!! The lady I spoke to said that on 1/3/08 £8.00 will buy UNLIMITED DATA (NOT capped at 30mb or anything else)
Hope this information proves to be correct and is of use to those of you in the UK...
I've also just upgraded to the £8 data bundle, the guy I spoke to said the fair usage policy kicks in if you go over 1Gb on a regular basis, so I think thats as close to unlimited as you can get for mobile use, so long as your not using it as a modem too much.
To top it off as I'm getting my 8Mb broadband connection free with my contract it's a relatively cheap option for data.
Vodafone seems to be the way to go...
My Tytn II is about 2-3 months old, I got in on Vodafone for free on an 18 month contract. Originally I had to pay £40 per month for 750 mins & unlimited texts. I haggled with them and brought them down to £25 for the same! WOO!
Well i was gonna leave orange and got this deal in the end , phone free , £35 18 month contract giving 500mins cross network and unlimited text messages , 100 additional loyalty bonus minutes , £5 monthly discount loyalty bonus and the basic data package
Be careful with the data package.
I was offered the unlimited data access at evenings and weekends for two months.
I had data charges for about £4.00 for each of those two months.
When I queried this I was told I had gone to websites outside the Orange World portal !
I no longer use Orange for data.

Andrew
Pretty good deal, I think
I have two phone contracts with orange 35 pound/month each for 500 mins and 500 text. Near the end of contract. Over the last month, I've phoned disconnections 5 times getting a better offer each time. Tonight I went with this:
Phone 1) SE K810i 600mins & unlimited text 15pound/month
Phone 2) TyTn 11 700 mins & 100 text ... wait for it 20 pounds/month.
Both phones free. Also added 250MB data to the TyTn11 for extra 7.50/month.
I'm pretty chuffed. Phones arrive Thursday. Now on to ebay for 8GB microSD card!

i got the text yesterday and got the same old thing from the CSR. smartphone blah blah.
I was on the 30$ everything plan and now its 25$ for 2gb and $20 for unlimited texts.
Is there anything I can say to the rep tomorrow when I call back? I was on that previous plan ($30) for a long time, couple years I think.
Been at att for 13 years.
I have a tmo N1 also, I could switch but I don't know about their coverage down here.
I don't I'm beating a dead horse, I'm sorry. I did do some searching before hand.
any advice?
I can't help you but to say that I received the exact same awful news this week. I can't understand how they feel justified in doing this since I am not under contract and my plan was grandfathered in. I am going to call them tomorrow and let them know how I feel but I doubt it helps. I guess I'll just have to take my four phones elsewhere.
I literally had nothing to say to the guy after he came back from having me on hold. 30$ was the smart plan back two years ago wasn't it? So now it's not and we need $15 more dollars from you?
I'd rather pay google for good VOIP.
I can't find prices for tmo even more plus plans online anymore, I know they use to be there?
Legally, because they changed your plan, you can back out of their service without an early termination fee. That's probably the best thing you can do.
They do periodic scans... Once it happens automatically there's nothing you can do to get the cheap unlimited plan back. If you ask nicely you CAN get the unlimited data plan, but of course you'll pay $30 for it.
What can you do to mitigate it? I suppose you could use Wifi more, if you listen to streaming music a lot perhaps instead buy a bigger SD card and listen to music from there? Don't stream videos to it?
Personally I have only gone a hair over 1G since I've had my Nexus One, but I stream music only a few hours a month and otherwise it's market updates, email, data syncing etc.
I got switched back a few weeks ago myself too, but this time instead of exploding I figured there's nothing you can do about it, at least in the long term, except for talking from your wallet. When you contract is up, move somewhere else and tell AT&T why.
They keep giving us broader access to fast cellular data, keep making it faster, but continue to reduce what we can use of it. Same with home broadband, friend has 20mbit cable broadband at his house but it drops to like 1mbit/sec if he uses more than 5G/month.
I don't have a contract. I'm going to check a tmo sim in my house and see how the coverage is. Maybe switch after a final call to att. I have atmo n1 also.
silly thing is I've never went over 250mb a month. BUT what's the point of watching or keeping track of how much data you've used when you pay these Fu**s 1200 a year?

exactly ! and, when the advertisement says UNLIMITED, by god that's what I'm paying for. if/when a telco throttles my account for using "too much" i'm suing.
so far this month, 4Gb. i'm on tmo, and while the out-of-town coverage isn't great, i'm never too far off the interstate for it to matter.
vote with your money. not like they care, with 20 million iphone users coughing up whatever amount they are told to. ;-)
well, there ain't jack the retention people can do. Been at att for 12 years now.
It's impossible to go back I guess. Also you can't just have voice voice or data alone. Thought about having two sims active at the same time, one from tmo and one from att.
According to him there is only 200mb or 2gb plans no matter what you had before they auto switch you.
What he did do was switch me to a 29.99 voice with rollover instead of the lowest advertised 39.99 450 rollover plan.
Drop to 1500 texts a month for $15 instead of unlimited for $20. (which I'm slowly swapping people over to my GV number)
and 2gb data for whatever that price is, I don't remember. But at least my bill is within $5 of what it was the other day.
Att just doesn't really care to much about what they're doing to customers.
I'm still going to go check out tmo and coverage at my house when I have time.
retention guy was cool. I recommend not hanging up or cussing these people.
Att is the devil.
wow, glad i'm on T-mobile i'm using a grandfathered G1 unlimited data/400 texts plan, but if i ever needed unlimited texts i could just upgrade to the even more plan and i would end up with 200 more anytime minutes and unlimited texts along with unlimited data, i currently pay 55 dollars a month total and the current even more plan (no contract plan) is 60 dollars a month.

The EM+ plans are still available, but you have to go to a store or call T-mo to sign up for that plan.

You realize the irony here is that the users who use hoards of data are part of the reason why they keep clamping down? How can you possibly use 4G of data doing semi-normal things? Must be tethering or doing nonsense (like one poster in the past; he was doing daily ROM downloads of multiple ROMs and associated packages...)
Let's say you are on the 1gb $50 plan. You are 15 days into your bill cycle and used 900MB. You then switch to the 2GB $65 plan. You get full use of the new 2GB plan's data for the rest of the bill cycle. Yet you pay a prorated $50 bill and a prorated $65 bill. You get your 900MB and another 2GB of the new plan and you avoid the overage charge. Right after your bill cycle ends, you change it back to the 1GB plan and again and repeat as necessary. I just confirmed with the rep that you get the full use of the new plan's allowed data.
Upon more research, it seems AT&T backdate your plan change therefore you will be paying a full price for the new plan and leaving you with only 1.1 GB the rest of the cycle. If that is the case, I've been misinformed again by the bright people known as AT&T reps. So does AT&T still backdate the bill cycle or do they pro rate both plans for those that have tried it.
Upon even more research, I saw that Verizon will prorate both plans but calculates your data allowance daily. Meaning if you used 1GB in 15 days and you are on the 30 days 1GB plan and change your plan mid cycle, you will get hit with a 500MB overage charge, since you are only allowed 500MB in the 15 days period. So common advice was to backdate the higher plan to avoid overage charge. In conclusion, there is no loophole if this is how they calculate the prorated bill.
I heard AIO does not do that and allowed you to use the new plan's entire data allowances when you change plan.
In conclusion, ignore this thread. I was misinformed by the AT&T reps. The best way to avoid overage charge is to BACKDATE the new plan, otherwise you will likely incure an overage charge since that is calculated as a daily allowance.
so i lost my udp, but now have 12g of data. im curious what size data plans everyone has and what you actually use. having never had a tiered data plan before now im paranoid im gonna go over. with the udp i tethered my phone instead of getting home internet, during my last move i broke down and set up roadrunner.
I have an All-you-can-eat tariff average usage is about 15-20GB per month. But looking at the way you've worded your post I'm going to assume you're in the States? Not sure you guys have tariffs that generous over there.
yea, im in the us. i used to have unlimited data, but my note 2 is almost dead and with 3 kids and having moved a few weeks ago funds to flat buy outright just isnt there. i used to download torrents,tether, run netflix, ect daily. i would average 40-50 gigs a month, but that was with no home internet though.
I'm on a grandfathered AT&T "unlimited" data plan with my Note 2. I use just short of 5 GB per month on average. I get AT&T's throttle warning on the last day of the month many times.
I'm on wifi at work and at home, so data is really only used in the car.
I'm on ATT grandfather plan. I used about on avg 18-20gb a month, throttled after 5gb.
If I wasn't throttled I'd probably use double or so.
Probably the main reason I'm thinking of switching to Tmobile since they don't throttle on their highest plan. But I'm getting pos/neg responses about their services.
Anyone have it in Orange, CA area with advice?
I avg about 16gb on Tmobile unlimited. I have good coverage at home and at work. I live in GA.
Verizon unlimited, I use anywhere from 4-8 GB a month.
Sprint unlimited, between me and my wife.....around 15 - 17 a month. I have a friend though that has T - Mobile and uses somewhere between 30 - 60 GB a month. He also once cause they said there wasn't a limit used 3500 GB.
T-Mobile unlimited and use about 20 a month, also about another 3 of tethering. I had Sprint and could only use about 5-6 because the network was so slow on the Note 3.

Did you just take a shot at the good ol' U.S. of A?
Straight Talk 2.5gb and I don't think I've ever gone over. What are you guys doing with your phones that you need 10-20 gb of data a month?

Lmao, not in a derogatory manner I assure you lol.
T-Mobile Unlimited. Normally under 20GB a month. No house usage though as I have 50mb/20mb business connection at the house.
I am grandfathered into the ATT Unlimited. I grow angry every time I hit 5gb....the throttling is horrible. I use my phone for the GPS daily and I hit some high data marks. Its frustrating. I actually call and ***** about the throttling everytime I hit it. It makes me that mad. Unlimited, yes, but I need full speed for all data I use. Still happy with ATT, but that one think may make or break it after 10 yrs.
Verizon unlimited. I'm anywhere from 30 to 80 GB a month depending on how many ROMs I download. ☺
I have the sprint $60.00 unlimited everything, most I have used is 50GB. This month I have used 20GB.

Those of you with double digit data use what do you use it for? I avg maybe 3-5gb a month and can't fathom how to use more. Just curious.

I average about 200 GB per month. Mostly with Netflix and uploading to YouTube. Sprints coverage is one of the worst but I cant go without the unlimited data.

For anyone wondering, I did the math on the three options provided by Verizon in terms of paying for the S6 Edge. Here are my equations, where n is sales tax. If you want to find out the cost where you live, replace n with (1+your sales tax). So if your sales tax is 9%, n=1.09:
32 GB
Verizon Edge: (29.16)(24)n=
2 Yr Contract: 299.99+[699.99(n-1)]+(15*24)n=
Full Price: (699.99)n=
64GB
Verizon Edge: (33.33)(24)n=
2 Yr Contract: 399.99+[799.99(n-1)]+(15*24)n=
Full Price: (799.99)n=
128GB
Verizon Edge: (37.49)(24)n=
2 Yr Contract: 499.99+[899.99(n-1)]+(15*24)n=
Full Price: (899.99)n=
For example purposes, I calculated with a sales tax of 9%. At 9%:
32 GB
Verizon Edge: $735.83
2 Yr Contract: $755.39
Full Price: $762.99
64GB
Verizon Edge: $871.91
2 Yr Contract: $864.39
Full Price: $871.99
128GB
Verizon Edge: $980.74
2 Yr Contract: $973.39
Full Price: $980.99
This only the device, not the amount you'll be spending per month in terms of data and minutes. However, the 15 dollar discount you receive for being off-contract is included in the price difference when compared to the 2 Yr Contract. I also didn't include any promotions held by Samsung, Verizon, or any other companies, as to keep this relevant for future readers.
In conclusion, inflation makes the difference between Verizon Edge and 2 Yr Contract negligible, so if you're on the fence, choose whatever you're comfortable with. Inflation also makes it much cheaper for you to pay through Verizon Edge instead of paying everything up front. So unless you're getting a significant discount somehow through a different dealer or Amazon or something, don't purchase the phone with a single payment.
+ no $40 activation fee for Verizon Edge
+ $100 bill credit to the new customer for Verizon Edge
No that best buy also sells phone with Verizon Edge, but the price is $150 higher than the Verizon Shop. I ordered mine from Verizon. I miss the preorder bonus from best buy (wireless charger), but I can find cheaper chargers in Amazon ($10 duracell bundle)

I actually did something quite similar but I simply went through the process twice on Verizon's device and plan pages.
For an S6 Edge using their 'Edge' service plan it worked out to $101.30 per month, basic service, 2GB, no addons, pre tax.
For an S6 under 2 year contract it came out to $72 and change plus the $349.99.
Running those numbers, the Edge plan cost $2431.20 over the course of 24 months. (taxes and fee's extra)
The contract rate however was $1735.2 + the $349.99 = $2085.19! (taxes and fees extra)
Now, there's the activation fee pay right? then that $30 discount for renewal but in my case an additional $100 for phone trade and the $50 mail in rebate.
Anyway, I realize your mileage may vary but according to the numbers I got off of Verizon's website, the Edge plan is an absolutely terrible option. Maybe multiple lines or large data plans might change that but for me the difference was roughly $486 savings to go with the contract.
Food for thought.
I guess you didn't count $15 / month discount for the customers with Edge program.
So basically you have to subtract 15*24 = $360 from the price.
I saw an article somewhere around the internet.. and it actually was the same price for both contract and edge including the activation fee.
But new customers are likely get $100 more benefit from the edge.
Again, existing customers can get a free gift if preorder through Best Buy.

I did a 2-year contract upgrade and not sure if it was noted or not but there was a $40 upgrade fee included as well.
Hey, nice to make your acquaintance.
Unfortunately the numbers still don't pan out. I just went through and did it again, this time the contract price came out to $80 per month. not sure why I saw $72 last time and $80 this time but....
Anyway, That's the monthly price minus fees and taxes. I didn't forget to add anything, Verizon did it all on their checkout page. 80*24+40-30+200=2130.
2 year Edge: 2430
2 year Contract: 2130
I was wrong in saying $486 and for that, my bad, but no matter how you slice it, contract is cheaper for a single line plan. Unless you need to upgrade often I just can't see the point. Then again, I've been on Verizon since the bastards absorbed Alltel years ago. Now that was a good company. I've never been particularly fond of Verizon but... I'm a CDMA guy so I don't see that I have much of a choice.
Edge is cheaper.

I'm sure it is for some. For a single line, 2GB plan, no, it is not. Go to Verizon and price them both out... It's all there on their page.
Also, I believe at the higher-tier plans, you get a $25/mo discount off, not just $15. Here is a good website that breaks it down:

Yep minimum 8GB of data gives you -25$ Discount so add that 25$x24 months. (as a saving)

My analysis goes like this....
I HAVE to have 64gb. 32 if MicroSD would be fine. But... that means 64 is a must since no more MicroSD.
I have unlimited data. If I go to Edge or renew my contract (I am off contract for over a year) I am forced onto a new plan AND loose unlimited. When I did the math on the prices/costs/fees of a new plan over 2 years (and unlimited data loss) VERSUS just outright keeping the phone and plan and data and no contract I have now, buying the phone outright wins in a dollars to dollars comparison.
9% sales tax omg where is that at!?!
California - many cities have 8-9 percent sakes tax.
Edge is more beautiful than S6 I think.

I have no idea if VZW was bull****ting with me, but they said that if you are on a family plan and the aggregate total data the family can use is at a certain level (in my wife's case, 16 GB), then everyone on the plan can get $25/mo off by switching to Edge. That sounded too good to be true, but they let my wife go to Edge and save $25/mo on the family plan.

they trolling you don't worry. All that has to be is at least 6GB data plan for -25$ either out of contract or on edge. Can't really believie reps these days especially last month they tried to make do an upgrade like twice when I was asking for something else and out of nowhere they were telling me that I asked for upgrade 2 weeks earlier and I never did lol.

Yea, I hear ya. So, let's say 4 people are on a family plan that has 12GB/month total data available. Can all 4 people go on Edge and each save $25? That's what VZW was telling me.

In this case yes unless I misunderstood your last post that would be correct. As long as there is a minimum of 6GB data package on all your lines you would get 25$/per line per-edge phone or if you are out of contract.
Hope that helps
