[ADVICE] Am I paying too much?

[Crisisx1]

Just wanted some opinions from you guys that own an s3 on tmobile.

The plan I have is unlimited minutes, unlimited text, and 2gb of 4G data(unlimited throttled).

It's a two year contract classic plan that expires next month in February.

My average over the last 3 months of whenever minutes is 447, and data around 1.1gb.

I was thinking of going with the value plan with 500 minutes, unlimited text and 2gb of 4G data for $49.99 which is a 30 dollar savings each month. But I'm sketchy about the value plans for some reason.

Has anyone switched from a classic plan to a value plan without issues and not regret?

My contract with TMO just ended as well so I decided to try an alternative myself. I unlocked the phone, went to WalMart and bought the Straight Talk SIM. It costs 45 bucks a month + 15 bucks 1 time for the SIM for unlimited everything (TALK, TEXT & DATA) and uses the AT&T network.
So far so good!
I'm running the Domination V2 ROM and everything seems to run great.

Out of curiosity why did you go with the att sim, because I know straight talk also has a tmobile sim.

I put in an att sim card in my tmo s3 unlocked, and the data speeds were really slow.

They were out of the TMO SIMS when I went to the store. AT&T and TMO seem to share the same towers in my area so I haven't noticed any reduction in speed. Tethering works great as well..

I went from classic to value one month ago no more upgrades but you can get a subsidized anytime you want. Saving 100 dollars a month on my bill

Wouldn't 500/1000 minutes or w.e the classic plan is be like $10/20 cheaper a month? I think they allow you to change without a penalty...

 

[Towle]

Here's mine...

5 lines
3,000 shared minutes.
Unlimited texts.
3 lines have unlimited 2gb data & 2 lines have the unlimited 5gb.

Edit: oh yeah forgot to add that 4 of the lines have insurance.

Total bill after taxes is $230

We have 3 lines 1200 min ,unlimited text ,5gb data each and [email protected] home. Also all 3 line have insurence. I pay 150. Although if I wasnt on contract and it was just me I would use straight talk.

 

[flipq88]

I have one line, 500 min, unlimited txt, and the unlimited 4g, paying around 85 a month. Value plan though so when i finish paying up the S3 it will be $15-$20 cheaper, though I'll probably end up getting the s4 so it will stay around the same

I'm running simple mobile. I play 50 bucks a month and I have unlimited talk text and HSPA+ 42.2. So its like having the actual T-Mobile but for cheaper, however, some say that they threat on account cancellation after 2GB. I'm surrounded by WiFi and I don't watch videos on the go lunch so I've never gone over the 2GB. I may go to straight talk AT&T because I know AT&T has better coverage but I know I won't be getting 12mbps down anymore. It will.be more like 4 or 5. I also heard that straight talk kills some customers by throttling them to 200kbps. So that's the only reason why I'm afraid to switch from simple

one thing u need to think about be4 u change classic to vaule,do u want getting new phone with 2 yrs contract?if yes,then dont change to vaule,classic change to vaule always no problem becuz vaule is $10 cheaper then classic on monthly payment,but if u reget,want to back to classic,sry,u cant,unless u cancel the whole vaule plan and active a new classic plan...and for u,i suggest just change to $39.99 500 min classic with 2gb $20 web,if u really under 500 mins usage for the pass 3 months and no text message usage

well I do use texting.. a lot lol so i need that

i was thinking either of going with simple mobile 50$ unlimited all, or with the value plan of 500mins, unlimited text, and 2gb of 4g data, or the new prepaid plans the other member mentioned.

ok,so u can add MSG too.....lol,simple mobile $50 unlimited is not ture unlimited,cuz data will drop speed after 2gb,my frd has it ,so i knew,vaule plan,as i said,do u want upgarde phone with a cheaper price when ur contract was end,if answer is yes,dont change to vaule,classic one ppl plan has $39.99 500 mins plan,then u can add unlimited text and $20 2gb web if u want,just $10 difference with vaule plan...i worked for tmobile be4,so i know vaule plan is nth but only for those dont have enough credit to have a classic plan,so thats why when u chang to vaule,u will lose the benefit to get new phone with cheaper price,and dont believe those rep in call center when u call customer care,they push u to change to vaule becuz they can earn bonus for that
