We were also on an old $29.99 ($31 and change total after tax) plan they gave to D/HOH, and had Sidekick 4gs until a couple of weeks ago, when we ordered an iPhone 6SPlus. That plan, since we had it from 2003, just always said “unlimited high speed data” but I don’t even think we knew about 4G speed back then. We always got 4G if it was in a 4G area or standing outside, and had unlimited 3G if inside the house or in a non-4g area outside. I think the description still said “unlimited high speed data” in one part of the MyTMobile account sections, but the details somewhere said it was 6GB high speed. Regardless, I was still paying the $31, so I didn’t care. After buy the iPhone, they said over the phone that it would not accept that phone with that plan, so she asked a supervisor to override, and told me they did. However, I later saw that all she did was make the plan (without telling me) a $35 plan with 6gb because I assume that’s all they were able to do since they really did NOT “override” anything to keep us in the $31 plan and did not mention the increased cost as to not lose the sale they were making with 2 iPhone upgrades and being with them almost 14 years! So now we see that it’s 6GB for $35 that they put us into to try to come close to what we were paying for 14 years. FYI, we ALWAYS had unlimited texts since 2003, so where they told YOU that you only can have 5,000, I don’t know where THAT came from! AND, you say you were always locked into 3G, but when 4G first came out, we were getting a 4G connection automatically if we were standing in a 4G capable area. They never had the capability to STOP 4G if it was a capapble phone on the plan we had, so how they were able to do that to YOU is pretty weird if your phone had the ability to receive 4g signal. NOW….we actually get LTE on the phone if standing outside or traveling, and 4G/3G inside (but use wifi always anyway) since dropping the Sidekick 4gs and going with the iPhones, as the SK4gs were not capable of LTE. Since they said they were not able to connect the iPhone to the $31 plan (or so they said, or the supervisor just said “it’s $35 NOW…”), MAYBE if you put your sim in someone elses LTE-capable android phone to test it out, you may get LTE anyway if you change phones and they have no way of stopping that LTE signal from coming into your phone. Plus, if you’re paying $31.50 already, and it’s worth it to you to pay $35 (plus whatever little tax there would be) to get a signal higher than 3G and unlimited texting, you can ask for the new plan and get it. But what bothers me is this: for only $20, you can get unlimited texting AND 2GB HIGH SPEED and unlimited 3G under the NEW PLANS…..and YOU’RE Paying $31.50 TO STAY GRANDFATHERED INTO A HIGHER RATE PLUS LESS SERVICE THAN WHAT THEY ARE CHARGING RIGHT NOW!!!!!

I had one of these plans 5yrs ago for my backup phone when it was $30 for unlimited text & 2gb of data. For $5 more dollars 6gb of data? I’m switching back! You can’t ask the pawn workers though. That would be a supervisor question.

Here’s the deal with T-mobile. They used to have 5 gigs for $30, they just changed it to 6 gigs for $35. Tethering has always been “available”, but it was “enabled” for iphones. Apparently you were allowed to do it on any device that didn’t block it, but iphone’s policy is to always block unless the carrier says not to. As recent as a month ago, this wasn’t working for me, but I just tried it right now and apparently it’s working now. I have the $35/mo plan on an iphone 6+ and i am able to tether without any jailbreak or hacks! :D

late response but you will be throttled down to 2G speeds I believe.

14g?
You mean 14GB, i take it… ?
What’s this all about?
Please elaborate.

I agree. Going to switch off T-Mobile asap

Unlimited means such poor service after 14g that you would have been better off with ancient dial up. T mobile data not for high volume users

Who knows. T-Mobile is weird.
