Default T-Mo $10 deal

I called into T-Mobile to ask them about the Data Services being down yesterday, and they offered me an upgrade from my 2GB to 5GB data plan for $10 (standard)and they threw in Mobile Hotspot/Tethering for free. They also gave me something called My Life or something like that T-Mobile does that downloads and stores all your pics/videos, etc... that I'm not going to use, so I stopped the Rep before she could explain it to me. She said this offer was a one time special offer good only for that phone call, I don't believe that, they offered stuff like that the only other two times I've called in before and said a similar thing, but I'm sure you can call in and ask for it if you are interested in upgrading your data anyway. But I thought to pass it on, no need to flame on the fact you can just root and get the free tethering stuff anyway, it's only $10 to upgrade data, the point is that if anyone was thinking about increasing their "unlimited" data limit now that the throttling trick is not working anymore, this hopefully helps you all out. Saves the $15 tethering monthly cost and not needing to mess with fixing or freezing tricks to rip the tethering and maybe you'll like the My Life thing they also throw in? Just FYI for anyone this may help...

You're probably out of the loop but the upgrade from 2GB to 5GB has always been 10 dollars. $20 for 2GB, $30 for 5GB. 10 dollar difference.

Tethering has been included in the 5GB plan for a few months now and it was a marketing thing for the retention department to offer customers to keep them from jumping ship. If you like the plan, by all means enjoy... it's not a 'super' deal to most people though.
