So typical for T-Mobile! Offer some great deals, get people hooked, then drop the other shoe. And they wonder why they can't get the same number of customers as the big boys. Sad.Sept

Tmo's plans are always such a ***. Figuring them out is like taking an IQ test.

This is for web connect. Witht he 20% discount for a voice plan its the same as it is now. These are not the plans for phone usage. Im sure they will have some sort of different plans. Relax until they release all there new plans.

This is more expensive than att and vzw now. Well the 200 and 5gb ones are. No good tmo

Well regardless if they are higher, it looks like this is the way for data plans. Verizon will have tiered soon. So I doubt this will be anymore expensive. BOTTOM LINE: You want internet on your phone, its gonna cost ya.LOL

I think I shall stay with my prepaid for now. I was going to go to tmo when the new Blackberries came out. But now Im not sure. We shall see. The internet works well and there are more than enough apps to play with. (I have a BB on prepaid) Everything unlimited on a Blackberry for the low price of $60 a month.

I think many who are getting frustrated should consider prepaid. If you have a good prepaid service that works where you live go for it. Its dooable. If you dont want to consider that. EIther pay the higher prices or get a basic phone.

These are for internet devices, such as netbooks, tablets, laptops, or USB cards, NOT data plans for cell phones. In that regard, this is a great deal, and definitely very competitive, since AT&T and others offer only 5GB plans with $10/GB overage charges

...for now. I told you guys, unlimited plans are a thing of the past whether you like it or not.

People this is not for your smartphone. Read "WebConnect" it is a product for internet only devices such as tablets, computers, and usb web cards. The phone internet will stay at the $30 per month and go as little as $10 depending on contracts and data needs. These are throttled plans, meaning T-Mobile will never charge you more for you to use service even if you use more than 5 GB or 10 GB in a month (excluding the 200 MB plan). the price is a deal compared to Verizon or At&t. They also offer free texting included for tablets if you buy one of these services. They also give you the right to use a tablet as a MIFI to connect more devices to the internet without charging you more per month. It is the most simple and straight forward internet plan available.
