Title: phone internet question?????
Post by: 1luv on October 01, 2012, 07:23:15 AM
If I have Unlimited data plan but cap at 2GB n I go over, will I be charge?   

It would slow down after the cap is up right?  Silly me asking u cuz I do not want to call csr as they might want to try to upsell me something useless. 

Thanks yall

I Hope you are wrong. 

I just don't know how I used up 2GB of data for this month on Ph alone.

Must be a new record to me.

Just looked at Tmo's website.

No charges.  It'll be slow for the rest of your billing cycle if you go over.

You will be fine. I have t-mobile too. They will slow you down. not sure about the 2GB part. I use mine all the time. I even use it for mobile hotspot for my laptop. They wont charge you extra, but you might recieve an email/text trying to upsell you into one of there mobile hotspot plan.
Verizon, Att have cap on their data plan which they will charge you for going over.
As of right now Sprint and T-moblie are still the only two carrier who have unlimted data. I know they will slow you down, but at least you wont be charge extra for going over.

Verizon use to be unlimted data, now they are following ATT footstep. Charge you for a plan and if you go over you get charge more.
Verizon had one of the best service when i was with them, but i could'nt afford to cough up money for going over didnt fell like monitoring my usage every month just to make sure i'm not gonna go over.

Actually, I do have the unlimited plan for Verizon.  I had it before they decided to put the cap on so I'm "grandfathered" in.  I have the true unlimited.  I use about 3 GB a month.

Thanks guys. 

I was about to call my lawyers n go wth a law suit if they be selling me an Unlimited but is limited.

tmo used to get people to buy data when they start charging for using your home wifi.  Many of us went after them so they gave us credit for charging us unexpected. 

If I am in the clear then the show must go on.  They did txted me n let be know that I'm reaching my limited and wanted to see if I wanted to buy more data space.  The nerve of them.

If you look closely at their posters and stuff around the mall and such, it says Unlimited.. and in fine writing on the bottom, once you hit your cap, your speeds go down to 2G.  Pretty dumb if you ask me.

Dumb or not, it still beat having to paid for overage. Your one of the few lucky one who still have the verizon unlimted data plan, wish i would of just stuck with verizon too. T-mobile coverage is ok if you stay within city limit.

Unlimited data with a 2GB cap means when u hit ur 2GB cap your data speeds will be throttled, or slowed down until ur next billing cycle. T-Mobile just started their truly Unlimited Nationwide 4G Data plan. New customers can purchase any smartphone in T-Mobile’s robust lineup of innovative devices or bring their own compatible smartphone and have access to a worry-free unlimited data experience on T-Mobile’s fast nationwide 4G network. Current T-Mobile customers on Classic or Value plans can simply upgrade their existing service by adding an Unlimited Nationwide 4G Data plan. The Unlimited Nationwide 4G Data plan will cost $20 per month when added to a Value voice and text plan or $30 per month when added to a Classic voice and text plan. For example, a single line Value plan with unlimited talk and text combined with unlimited nationwide 4G data will cost $69.99 or a single line Classic plan with unlimited talk, unlimited text and unlimited nationwide 4G data will cost $89.99.

Verizon and AT&T no longer have unlimited plans but if you're grandfathered on AT&T ur good to go. if you're on verizon then they'll force you to switch when u upgrade unless you buy the phone at full price or bring your own phone. Sprint still has unlimited data but they will throttle or kick you off if you're using excessive data.
