When sprint eventually gets rid of their unlimited data are you goin to go to metro??
I have T-Mobile and "unlimited data" but they throttle me after 5gb. Been with them since '06. And since I work overnight and tether my phone to my laptop, I approach that damn near every month. My phone is set to use open wifi whenever it identifies it, but I still routinely use 4+ gb a month.
When the iPhone 5 comes out though I might just switch to Sprint. My mom has AT&T, but something like this wouldn't affect her, she barely uses her phone.

shut the fukk up, you got people in a thread on her talkin bout using 45gb up this month alone.
If everyone Used a few gbs they wouldnt be trippen, and they werent! But its dumbasses like yall who turn them into your home internet and ruined it for everyone else
Did you just say att and verizon can go the tmobile route ??you delusional. Why would two companies with both over 100 million subscribers (obviously doing something right) go the route of company who has about 20 million customers (obviously doing something wrong) ??! Use common sense and logic here you.
And bet if tmobile had more customers they also wouldnt have unlimited data.
You are like the jackle n hyde of this posting shyt. Sometimes you aight but most of the time you post some of the dumbest shyt that doesnt relate to reality.
Why not just go with metro snake?? No contract, cheap horrible service, out dated phones. Sounds like your dream cell phone carrier
some of you are so far out there that you cannot be saved.
Cop any AT&T or T-Mobile phone, go to straight talk $45 a month) and use the same fukking towers that idiots are on paying DOUBLE for LESS.
Did you bring up the word logic? Its you guys paying $90 a month for a cellphone contract...and don't even use it to its full potential. That makes NO SENSE AT ALL.

you two are missing the point. If most are not going over the data and WiFi is EVERYWHERE then why go to the tiered plan? Their network cannot POSSIBLY be that overloaded like they want you to believe. They can easily go the T-Mobile route and everything will be good. This is to make more money out of those who actually use their phone the way it was intended for...EVERYTHING. This is 2012, we are supposed to be ADVANCING not LIMITING ourselves.
You do know why this is happening right? Its because nobody really cares about unlimited talk anymore and since that option is no longer popular...they need to grab money from another source and its DATA. In fact, many people have already smartened up and cut texting out of their plan because they can use google voice to get that feature for FREE each month. That is another reason for these moves.
is it with people defending these companies.
The only reason t-mobile still has unlimited data(And it's not unlimited 4G. They throttle you down to 2G speed after 3gb) Is because they don't have that many customers. Please believe if t-mobile was even at half the customers Verizon/AT&T are at they would be doing the same exact thing. And this is coming from someone who use to work for them. You are right though. Minutes don't mean a damn thing anymore. So of course the companies are gonna go after the thing thats most important to customers.we can debate about the possibilities.
I am talking about FACTS RIGHT NOW.
Sprint and T-Mobile actually make sense for a contract. They give you a discount on a high end phone...charge you about $90 a month and you get unlimited data. The ETF makes sense in these scenarios because they are offering you a DEAL.
Straight Talk and Simple Mobile are simple - Bring your phone and we give you unlimited talk, text, data for $40-$50 a month
AT&T and Verizon - Subsidizes the price of your phone, locks you into a 2 year deal with a $325 ETF. No Unlimited Data option, want to charge you more per gigabyte you go over. What exactly is the reason one would defend these 2 monopolies? Because they gave you a discount on the iPhone? Sprint is doing the same thing AND giving you unlimited Data. Because you wanted the Galaxy S III? T-Mobile has that phone as well.
fukk Boost, Cricket, and MetroPCS but they are still better options than AT&T or Verizon.
Smarten up.

Change is inevitable...
Word...they paying for increased speeds to a defined ending...I don't understand it
Friend: My phone loads netflix movies so fast dude its amazing, I can watch 2-3 of them per month with my plan
Me: I can watch 2-3 of them per day
They simply just don't understand, mostly everything is designed to run with 3G in mind anyway. I never complain about my speed, I'm good knowing I don't have to press *3282# on a weekly basis to see how I am doing with my "ALLOWANCE"
They are actually using the word ALLOWANCE on these cats...Is this REALLY happening in 2012?

the phone manufacturers subsidize the phones not the carriers, just another case of you having no idea what you are talking about.just stop it already, its a deal between the two to get you locked into the contract. You really think Apple, Samsung and all the others are not getting their money right away? SO Apple is willingly manufacturing these phones @ a potential $300+ loss on a yearly basis? How delusional are you?
Who has the most to gain here? The carriers obviously, they want that guaranteed money rolling in from you for 2 years.

imma drop some shyt from a canadian phone company just to show wot u dudes might soon be paying
this is a normal phone plan without any type of deal just straightforward
those are your options for talking
then you add one of these data options
yes that said 9 gb for 90 dollars
2 cents for every mb you go over

No, you made it seem like the carriers had no interest in getting the prices down when that is not the case. They both do so to inflate the numbers. The only one that is against it is tmobile apparently
Either way, the argument is pointless and this thread was never about manufacturers. you can't even argue my points made in this thread as to why data caps are unacceptable in 2012

tmobile does the same shyt with their phones as att/sprint/verizon*remembers paying $250 with a contract for a sidekick 2 from tmobile*
I already told you why we have data caps.. its cause dumbasses like you use it as a home modem racking up 40+ GBs a month ruining it for everyone else who uses it..as.. you know.. a cell phone..
