Default Android Preferred Data Plan

Hey guys. I was snooping around in the G2X threads and found a thread talking about an Android Preferred data plan. You can get 5gb for only $20 instead of $30. I heard that it uncaps your data also. People have reported no throttling also. I called up and asked for the Android Preferred Plan and I got it. Even if it doesnt uncap data, im still saving $20 a month (2 lines). The rep told me that it reset my data usage for the month. Awesome!! Give it a try guys!

Oh ****. Time to save some more green. 20 bucks is 20 bucks that's a half tank of gas. Love it.

They just told me this is only for loyalty plans and is not available for Classic plans. Can anyone confirm this?

Yes they lied to you.
I have a 6 year old family plan with 5 lines and we all have the pref android plan.
Then again we also have free myfavs, free unlimited wifi calling and 9.99 unlimited messaging. Just make sure you get routed to retentions when you call in (say cancel at the prompt)

Thanks guys, I called retentions and they added the feature to both lines. The only catch with the Classic plans is that it is a required feature, meaning you have to keep it for two years. No big deal, just renewed last month anyway.

the 2 year contract is pretty much a moot point if the merger/takeover goes through, i think if it does we'll all be able to get out of any contract ETF free.
Even if AT&T says they will guarantee existing pricing, I know that they will force me to change to something more expensive or leave since they have nothing that comes close to price with what I am getting now (5 lines with all those features for almost $200 WITH taxes). AT&T will tell me to hit the road

It seems as it is truely unlimited and not 5GB. Either way, it's better than the 2GB I was stuck with before.

I have the $45 SMB value plan with unlimited minutes, messaging, and 5GB full speed cap.

that said when I check the current it states that it is 'unlimited.' I haven't hit the 5GB yet to know if it really does throttle.
