Plus T-mobile also has better signal quality (different than strength) than sprint does. For example with sprint my Rx Power would always hover between -91dbm and -104dbm with 2-4 bars of strength. On T-mobile my Rx Power is -83 to -90dbm on 0 to 3 bars of 3G in my house all this and I'm paying $85 a month (after student rate discount) for 10GB of 4G data and unlimited 3G data (according to the rep who sold me the plan),500 minutes, unlimited night and weekend minutes and unlimited texts.

Studentrate gives 10 percent off.
The plan you mentioned was 104 prepaid.
Its 119 with contract and subsidized phone.
We will go on the assumtion that he is on the prepaid plan although, since he has bregged about his free hd7, we know he is accually on a subsidised plan.
104.99 minus 10 percent is 90 dollars.
That does not include taxes and fees. I have 5 lines on my plan, and I know I pay appx 60 dollars worth of fee and taxes. Let's take 1/5 of that. 12 dollars.
90 for the plan+ 12 dollars worth or taxes and fees comes to 102 dollars. And that's on tmo prepaid.
The same plan on contract would be more like 125 with a student rate discount.
Eric claims he is paying 85 dollars a month. Based on that, id say he is most assuredly not on the 10 gig plan.

$94.99 /mo.
up to 10 gb of high speed data

Yes it only has 500 minutes, but with voip you can use the data plan to supplement minutes if you run out :S I do that on sprint's sero as well with my tp2

But I still like the $30/monthly tmobile though, it's comparable with sprint's sero without the hassle of limited phone selection

thanks for clearing up the confusion.

@austin420
I have the value plan 500mins unlimited text and 10gb of full speed data, with my student rate discount I will be paying in the 80s. This is cheaper than the almost $100 I was paying to sprint after I got my arrive even with the studentrate discount. This plan had only 450 anytime minutes and such, sure it had any mobile anytime but I didn't really use it as I don't use my phone much during the day. I don't love T-mobile, I love great service combined with great value and clear billing policies. So u failed.

i was using the most minute plan to compare apples to apples with sprint unlimited mobile to mobile 1500.
i do see now that there are lesser minute plans.
i guess i was blinded by my dislike for erics redundant espousing of love for tmobile.

with only 500 minutes, my wife and her sister would be in to overages in about 3 days of talking. just our mobile to mobile on their 2 lines is 4500 minutes.

Eric is allowed to blindly love t-mobile. Just gaze over his posts and move forward.

Let's stick to the topic on AT&T throttling their unlimited plan.

so someone can start a thread about att, eric can bring up tmobile (as always) and if someone says anything to him about it, a mod says we need to get back on topic.
i got it.
i hope yall realize why no one comes to ppcgeeks anymore.

Some of the comments made were in violation of Site Rules specifically #2
therefore the request was made to put the thread back on topic


Edit:
By request was in reference to NinjaMom making the statement to stick to topic

[austin420]

great. a request was made.
this site has about 6 members on top of the 15 mods and as it turns out, all 6 are informers.
\even less reason to come back.

I mentioned T-mobile as a comparison to what AT$T is doing.
