About to get throttled -TMobile

[bokeh4me]

Got txt msg after lunch. You have used 400 of your 500mb at 4g speed. This since Sat? Do they go calendar month, or 30 days from sign up?

AFAIK, it's based on your billing cycle.

What plan are you on? Like previous poster said it should be based on your billing cycle.

50.00 unlimited, throttled after 500mb prepaid.

500 MB?? Back when I was with T-mobile they didn't throttle until 5Gigs.

For just a few dollars more you could have unlimited no cap everything.... oh, and with a 2 year contract. :'(

But really, I do not see any problem with a 2 year if you are not tied to a subsidized phone for the contract period.

Don't know where you are geographically, but since you're using T Mobile the coverage map should be about the same as Solavei. For the same price, unlimited everything. I think you get throttled WAAAAAAAAAAAY after 500mb data though.

I have been very happy with their service so far.

It's definitely based on 30 days from your billing cycle, not on the calendar month. I got throttled on that plan (before I changed to another one) and 2G data is unusable for anything other than emails and navigation. Trying to load a web page in the browser is painful. I'd up your plan to the $60, 2gb one, or look into Solavei.

I don't a T mobile prepaid with only 500mb at 4G. I see the $50 unlimited with 100mb of data at 4G.

Anyway, it seems like a bad deal compared to all the other options: I know it is only 3G speed, but for $45 GoSmart offers unlimited talk and text and 5GB at 3G. That seems like a better deal. But Solavei for a few bucks more seems like a way better deal with everything and 5GB of 4G speed. I even think Straightalk at $45 and 2GB at 4G would be better than only having 500mb before being throttled.

It's web-only and it's still up there.

How much do you talk?

I have unlimited data and text with 100 minutes and it's only 30$

 

[Go Ogle]

70$ unlimited data no throttling prepaid is coming to T-Mobile verrrrry soon.

That's what I went with, with my Nexus. I would have had a cell phone no matter what over the next two years and I got my N4 for only $49 and overnighted to me for free as well. I couldn't have paid $300 for my phone otherwise and it's a 16GB.

Yep - it's an ok deal if you can't afford the several hundo up front. But you have to pay the higher monthly cost of around $30/month more. That $30 extra does come out to $720 after 2 years, but it is what it is with anything financed.

I don't know much about T Mobile, for I have Sprint. However 500mb seems very, very low. I would consider spending the money for more data if you can afford it.

There is a lot of other options for just a little bit more money that are much better. Solavai, straight talk , simple mobile. Most offer unlimited talk & text with a few GB of data.

What are some of the things that make one plan better than another?

Cost?
Data Limits?
speed?

What else?

My $60/ Month t-mobile plan has been suiting me just fine.

Unlimited Talk/Text and 2GB of 4G Data before throttle. I never get anywhere close to 2GB since I use wifi at home and work.
