For those of you on T-Mobile, what data plan are you using? Is anyone still able to use 2.99 or 5.99 tzones?

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.

i pay 77 i get discount from my job
plus i take insurance off

Mines almost $300! With 4 lines though...

Why do you take insurance off? Don't TEP cover your phone when you have a brick or something like that?
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4

I have the same plan and mine is always just over $100.
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

261.62 for 5 lines, really on the fence to try AT&T though, Sprint only offers 10% discount while at&t is 30% for the company.

I have the same plan with TEP and the $10 premium data. $83 after taxes, fees and employee discount.

That $10.00 premium data is a big joke as there is nothing premium about it. I am lucky to to get a half meg down or a ping under 250.
Companies can state any price they want now and just add fees to everything.
I was thinking that when I upgraded from EVO 3D to the ONE I would get better speeds. Not so!
Hell my Hero did better than the evo or the one.

So why the Hell is the bill so inflated?
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4

if you had a business discount, you might wanna check and see if its been taken off.
sprint apparently sent me a "renewal paper" in the mail, never got it, so i was unaware that i had to renew my discount.
ended up losing it, and my bill went from 70 to 90, just like yours.
had to go through the new discount program webpage and all that chit just to get a discount. not to mention signing a 2 yr agreement.

Tmo xao, Tmo

I've still got my SERO-P plans. Two of them. Both lines with $11 insurance on each is $135 a month.

Yea I'm going to have to call and find out because $90.50 for sprint is RIDICULOUS

Taxes, surcharges...all that fun extra stuff the government and Sprint like you to pay. Its been skyrocketing the past few years.

You're on an $80 dollar plan before tax. Assuming you don't have insurance...$91 isn't that bad. It's called taxes.
I'd recommend rolling over into the My Way Plan. $80 would give you unlimited everything rather than 450 minutes. Get more for the same amount of money. Check into discounts through AAA, any credit union member or your employer as well. But honestly for a contracted carrier...your price isn't as unreasonable as you're making it sound considering the prices of other carriers. I believe you could save around $10 or so with T-Mobile. Not sure how their coverage is in your area though.

Just about any company in existence gets a discount with Sprint lol. Just check with them, even my employer gets a measley 13% discount but that's almost $17 off per month which is pretty reasonable.

If you can't get a discount through your employer I think they offer discounts to credit union members. Open an account with the minimum amount and profit.
I pay $82 and that includes the $11 insurance.

+1 to that. For what its worth, i pay $240 for 4 phones all them with TEP and VVM. Sprint kills you on regulatory fees and gov fees and all that bull****

Or just move over to t-mobile... Especially if you have LTE

Unlimited Everything is worth $70 on TMO.

I bought two nexus 5's...i guess ill just sell em when they come in...crap verizon!!!!

It rather blows my mind that every other carrier supports it other than Verizon, I think it says a lot about them and their policies, becoming more and more locked down (think Knox for S4 and others). It makes me think a lot about George Orwells Nineteen Eighty-Four....

Barely, It does support Band 4 LTE and CDMA. VZW operates mostly on Band 13 LTE and just lit up Band 4.
The modem itself should support all bands because the baseband is the same in the Note 3, LG G2 etc. It should support Cat 4 LTE but the spec list does not necessarily list that.

Yep.
I have four phones, all with insurance, unlimited data, unlimited text and sharing 1400 minutes.
Bill after all taxes and fees is $215. :good:
As long as my bill is this cheap with Verizon how can I leave????
I'm held hostage by Verizon.....

I have the Moto X on Verizon and I bought a Nexus 5. I'll try TMO and AT&T both on the month to month option to see which I get better service with. If it's comparable to Verizon at all I'll port my number over

Someone test it on Verizon. I was going to order one to test as in theory it should work. Thank you

You pre order the note 4 and at the same time trade in any smartphone valued at over $10. To T-Mobile or wherever. Upload those receipts to the Samsung promo website and they mail you a card for the difference between the value T-Mobile gave you and $200. (If T-Mobile quoted $30, Samsung gives you $170 for a total of $200)

In the small print at the bottom of the Samsung offer page: https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/Note4/ it says "Limit three Offer claims per household."

Just to confirm that I'm comprehending this correctly, the site says:
"Trade in any working smartphone at a participating retailer (minimum $10 trade in value)."
"....get a guaranteed total trade-in of $200 on any working smartphone."
Then it says:
". If you submit a valid Offer claim within the time period, you will receive a check equal to the difference of $200 less the trade-in value of your eligible working smartphone."
What do they mean by "eligible?"
1. Does it have to be an Android OS smart phone? Or can it be a generic OS like those throwaway smart phones at the store?
2. Do you need the charger? Or just the phone itself?
If all holds true, I'm able to trade in my old piece of crap 'working' Sprint smart phone (it's not even Android, but it's a smartphone) to receive a $10 trade in + a check/card for $190 from Samsung?
If this is what I think it is....why would someone NOT take advantage of this amazing offer? LOL...

Only bad thing with Cricket is that the data speeds are throttled.
If you can live with slower data, it's great.

Yes, price wise. The max speeds you can get on Cricket is 8mbs down. They had a promo a few months back, their best plan which comes with 10gb of data for $60, they doubled it to 20gb data for the same price, with auto pay on you could get 20gb of LTE data for $55 a month, then throttled to 2g for remainder of the month. Hell, even I was tempted to jump on that offer.

No you need a Cricket Wireless sim, you can order one from their website or get them at most any Wal-Mart's.
They were bought out by ATT and operate on ATT towers, so same coverage as ATT.

I-Wireless runs on the Sprint network, not sure why you would want to goto Sprint, instead of ATT, but those price suck compared what you can get directly through Sprint.
For $60, you can get unlimited everything, including unlimited LTE Data.
