Re: Unlimited is not sustainable said by osravens:So that's why T-Mobile just switched to unlimited 4G data? T-mobile has ZERO 4G.
T-mobile has a MUCH smaller marketshare than at&T Verizon.
T-mobile will find out quickly how unsustainable unlimited it.
T-mobile customers will find to how having everyone using unimited bogs down the network.
I think $50 for 1GB is less sustainable for data than unlimited. You can get away with that in a market with shiny show toys, not a maturing one with saturation.
Until you can actually accept some FACTS there is no point trying to discuss anything with you. |

There isn't a $50 charge for 1GB of data. Until you can actually accept some FACTS there is no point trying to discuss anything with you. I am on the unlimited TMo 4G. Kicks ass, downloaded about 15 GB with ZERO issues and no complaints from TMo. Who should I believe, my lying eyes or someone off the Internet ? |

Apparently you've never seen the FACTS of a Verizon Share Everything plan. It is indeed $50 for 1GB.

Actually I HAVE seen it. The $50 includes unlimited minutes and texting. which are in fact a $40 value. Funny you post a link and you FAIL at reading the info. Take a look at the pic I posted. See where the minutes and texting are INCLUDED with the data? Also if you go to your link you will see the data pricing for just a tablet to just a Mi-fi and no calling or texting is $40 cheaper for the same amount of data. Thus minutes/texting is worth $40. So if Unlimited minutes/texting and 1 GB is $50 and minutes/texting is $40 the 1 GB data is actually $10.

T-Mobile has great potential just very limited coverage. I just switched yesterday and am getting 40ms pings and downloads around 15mbps on HSPA+. If they expanded their footprint they could easily be a competitor. WiFi calling/SMS is a great feature as well.
T-mo isn't for everyone but their faux-G is definitely on-par with Verizon LTE where it exists. |

I already explained this to him the other day and he couldn't comprehend it. He's sticking to the pro-Verizon pricing scheme. |

I don't need explaining. actually READING what the plan offers tells you. I can't help it if simple reading and math is beyond your comprehension. 2+2 does NOT equal 5 no matter how badly you want it to be true. |

Dallas, PA | All I need explained is, if the minutes and texting are truly included with the data, why are smartphones $30 *more* per month than tablets? |

Ask Verizon but that's the device fee. The "data" part CLEARLY includes minutes and texting. It's in the pic I posted. Also if you go to the website and choose just a tablet or hotspot or usb dongle and choose a data plan that does NOT include minutes or texting the data is $30 cheaper. For example 4 GB data on Share Everything with a phone is $70 and included unlimited minutes and texting with just a tablet with no minutes or texting it's $30. So if the price difference is $40 and the only change is the lack of minutes and texting then MATH and COMMON SENSE tells you that minutes and texting are priced at $40. |

I am with Verizon have 5 phones with 12 gb plan most we used was about 8 but that doesn't change the fact that having unlimited means you can use your smartphone for what it's made to use the freaking internet much more. |

Because they subsidize next to nothing on a tablet, compared to hundreds on a smart phone? |

Potential, having been around since 94 (Voice Stream), if they haven't figured it out by now, I wouldn't hold your breath.  |

If the minutes and texting are $40/month and I have to pay $90/month for my smartphone, then my math shows the 1 Gig of data to be $50/month. Or is the $40/month access fee optional?

Finally a logical answer. Then again, if I bring my own phone it still costs the same. I wish they would start calling it "Phone Financing" rather than just roll it in with the service plan. |

Charging you the same if you bring your own phone does suck. I really can't think of any reason they do it, other than industry inertia. The wireless industry has used the subsidy w/contract model for decades, mostly to shield people from sticker shock.
T-Mobile does offer different plans for BYOD, but they have a different corporate culture than most American carriers. I suspect you'll see the BYOD concept spread over the coming decade, particularly once VoLTE happens and we have a truly nationwide cellular standard. |

Actually the $50 is covering mainly data for the several phones. It is the per phone charge that is a majority of the unlimited talk and text part. Hence when you add a second phone you don'g get more data, you have to get an upgraded tier to do that. |
