G+_Elias Mårtenson Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 How much does it cost if you want to extend the cap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Frank Pigeon Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 ..still the cheapest pay as you go plan for $30 but only get 100 min talk, unl txt, unl data (5GB cap) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Frank Pigeon Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Elias Mårtenson Is that an option?..never heard of asking a provider to extend the cap...yes it's unlimited data but throttled which makes it unusable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Elias Mårtenson Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Frank Pigeon, I haven't used much this month, and I'm at 3.3 GB in 15 days. I don't think I could survive with your plan. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Robert Carlos Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 The darkside of T-Mo. Fast data to a point or slow consistent Sprint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Frank Pigeon Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Robert Carlos I've never had Sprint since I use only GSM devices but they LTE hear in San Antonio and the people I know thaht have it are happy but paying out the wazoo for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Kevin Spitzer (JaguarXT Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 My opinion is you get whatever you pay for. $70 for true Unlimited Nationwide 4G (4G/LTE) Data plan with unlimited call/text nationwide USA service. The other less priced "unlimited" plans you will be throttled after X amount of data usage. And when that happens it is going to hurt. It doesn't pay to try to save money the way you trying you are doing it. You save money, but lose by being throttled. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Frank Pigeon Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Elias Mårtenson what is your average monthly data usage and which network are you on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Frank Pigeon Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Kevin Spitzer This is actually the first time it's happened to me and saving money is a big deal when you are on the Dave Ramsey budget. I came from ATT where I was paying around $140 a month for two phones to T-Mobile where I pay $60 for two phones. The limitation is you only get 100 mins of talk so I am using the Talkatone app using voip when I want to make long calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Frank Pigeon Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 ...and I only got 2GB of data per device which I was always running up to the cap on ATT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Lucas Nichols Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Sprint unlimited. 28gb last month. I tried at&t and tmobile on my nexus 7. Ended up giving the nexus 7 to my stepdaughter for Christmas. Got a note 2 from sprint. Data is too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Kevin Spitzer (JaguarXT Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Frank Pigeon I told you that you will get bite by trying to do this. I even told you about the throttling and how throttling will effect you and your method. I tried this method of saving money, but found out that this doesn't work as planned. And I tried to tell you the downsides of this method. This is from my experience. I know I have problems articulating what I want to say. But you should listen to the experiences of others too if you don't want to make the same mistakes. I guess some people have to learn from their own mistakes. ?

G+_Montana Mobley Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I'm grandfathered in on Verizon's unlimited still and I used 34 GB. I don't use it much on weekends. Bad part is I have to buy my phones at full price of drop down to shared 10 GB. Which is not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Max Heep Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Im on at&t "unlimited".I know they throttle after 5gig and I am at 4 gig with 1/2 a month to go. If they throttle me down to tjat useless speed I'm gonna be pissed. We need a better government to stop these greedy bastards from gouging us.

G+_Kevin Spitzer (JaguarXT Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 $120 per month (before tax and fees) is what I believe (correct me if I am wrong) that you can pay for the Unlimited Nationwide 4G (4G/LTE) Data plan with unlimited call/text nationwide USA service with T-Mobile for two devices. That is the best I have seen. Now you can go for less data and still go for unlimited call/text service. There you can save some money as long as you don't use the cellular data for VoIP (which will eat up the data). If I was you I would look into doing that. ?
