Thinking of switching

I ended up going to a T-Mo local store, the guy at the store was going to give me the deal, and but his manager said I needed to order their Unlimited across the board plan ($99 after tax per month).
I said I was offered a lesser plan before T-Mo screwed up big time over the phone, his manager said I needed to order the $100 plan.
I said thank you, no.
This is well over $20 per month on what I pay at Verizon, so I am not going to pursue T-Mobile anymore.

My husband switched from Vzn to T-mobile. He was paying $130 per month and now it's down to $62 for an equivalent plan. They were charging around $50 per month for the ability to get his work mail on his phone and it doesn't cost anything extra on Tmo. Vzn was a great carrier but he can take a few dropped calls to save $68 a month. I we don't have many dropped calls in S. Fla. but I'm sure that depends on your area.

I LOVE my Galaxy S2!

Did you see what att did. It was on fox news but my friend gets a message. Saying your in the top 5% of using to much data. Mind you he had an unlimited plan.
They tell him to use wifi more or they are going to cut his data back, when he reaches a limit. Then they send a message about their tier plans.
I mean I was on unlimited with
att but had my cappy stolen they wanted me to buy a new one for full price. Mind you my GPS never worked.
If it did I could have located my phone. That's how I got to T-mobile and took the etf on that line. My wife stayed and was suppose to come to my plan.
Instead she is helping my daughter on another carrier.
PCmetro i'm waiting for them to move but their service is ok and so far no problems.
Anyway all of these carriers are trying to catch up. They promise unlimited this and that. Then when you use it the way they say, you get messages trying to screw you. All cause they lied about their service.
Since the Gov. Loves to be i'm our business maybe they should start a hearing on this and take their license away. Our better yet combine them so they have the bandwidth. After all we are not going to be getting better service or discounts because they area not a monopoly much longer

For the Galaxy S II rebate you needed the unlimited talk text 5gb web. Once you get the rebate back you can drop your plan lower but that's what is needed in order to qualify.

Thanks all, I did ended up switching, I am selling my Thunderbolt, I am getting $90 for it, which is better than nothing.
So far this phone is fast, at least compared to the T-Bolt. I went with the 5Gb plan, and I'll get a rebate. I live in a major metropolitan area, so my 4G service is good along with voice.
I rooted my T-Bolt (unrooted this weekend and put stock back on to sell it), I am not going to root the Galaxy SII, at least not for awhile.
Funny (not really) Verizon wouldn't talk to me, when my number ported last week, I had to call VZW for one last question about my final bill, all of a sudden they asked me to port my number back and they will help me. Too little too late. I walked into a VZW store as the 800 number wouldn't help me, the store also wouldn't budge, I said OK, walked a block to a T-Mo store and called it a day.
Anyway, so far I am satisfied with the SGSII.
