AttBrandon,

I have a fan accnt, 4 lines, three of which are smart phone lines, Currently pay 30$ a line for data on each of the smartphones, have unlimited texting and mobile to any mobile calling. for all lines. Bill comes out to roughly 210/month.

Will the mobile share plan save me money?

btw my 4th line is not used but still in contract.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Demodave:
I really want the 32GB version; but the lack of a release date has me thinking that it might be a few months before we see it in stores. So my question is: If I purchase the 16GB version and the 32GB is released in the next 30 days, can I return it to get the 32GB version and simply pay the extra $50?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] attbrandon:
Depends on your FAN discount and data usage. It also sounds like you don't have any insurance for any of the lines. Be careful with that.

I'd really only recommend it if you were to get a fourth smartphone. 10 gig mobile is 120 + 120 = 240. Subtract 18 (for arguments sake, average fan discount is 15 percent) = 222 before tax. 6 gig would be 211.5 in this scenario.

It's the same price whether you have that fourth line as a basic or smart phone. Or it's a viable option if one of your lines is starving for data and it gives all the smartphones tethering.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] attbrandon:
50$ + 35$ restocking fee. If you're really nice about it maybe they'll waive the restocking fee. Just be 100% sure it's not a 14 day return policy instead of a 30. This can be store dependent.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] darkodin14:
mine right now is 210 with taxes included. So I guess it might not be worth it.

Thanks for the reply.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] attbrandon:
I'm not 100% sure to be honest. Ask your job for the FAN ID and I'll look up the properties of it tomorrow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] attbrandon:
You must have an amazing discount 0_o.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] darkodin14:
28% I think?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mocsab:
I want to thank you for taking the time to offer this - I have been wondering what to do with my Wife's phone (She is still on Sprint) - she doesn't use much data - doesn't get the benefit of either 4g or LTE anyway (Sprint doesn't have LTE in Milwaukee) and I sometimes find myself going over the 3gb limit on my plan. After reading your comments and checking out the plans you posted - I think it would be cheaper for me to buy a 6gb shared plan for our two phones - I would pay less collectively than I am paying now for the ATT and Sprint plans I am paying for - and I would double the available data I can use - as she really doesn't use any.

Thanks a lot - I appreciate the tips...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] attbrandon:
Math then silly. A mobile share 10 gig would cost you 206.4 before tax. I thinks that's worth it for the tethering.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mg2195:
I don't like the idea of sharing data....then you gotta worry about how much other people are using...like what if your brother decides to do something stupid and uses up 6gigs...leaving only 4gigs for everyone else (3 other people)...I'd rather pay the extra and not have to worry about others eating up my precious data...idk just seems like a data overage waiting to happen
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hamzer11:
OP, maybe you can help me make a decision. Here is what I have currently

26% Discount

5 Lines on the FamilyTalk Nation 700 with Rollover

Rollover for me is like having unlimited talk anyway. Whenever we go over 700 it kicks in and is enough to cover things.

2 - Smartphone lines with 2gb data plan (not even coming close to full utilization - always have wifi around)

2 - Smartphones lines with 200mb plan

1 - Regular phone

Total I am paying with taxes in NYC is about $215.

Is is worth going over to a shared use plan? I would like to add additional lines in the future and can't do that with my current plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MattMJB0188:
AT&T says, "the more you use, the more you save." What crap!!! They have the network capacity to offer truly unlimited data. That's what they need to do. What's the point of having a brand new shiny new LTE device when you only can use it so much???

Families would rather have unlimited data instead of sharing. I will add, if they brought back unlimited to raise the price, say $40 or $50.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mg2195:
Hell for unlimited data I'd be willing to pay much more than $50...seeing as LTE is slightly faster than my home internet if I could get unlimited LTE than it would replace my home internet...I say either offer unlimited at a higher price or lower the price for current data plans...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] freebee269:
just wanted to add my experience to this thread. i have 4 lines on my account (various family members). i called at&t this morning to tell them i am canceling one of the lines because only 3 of the lines have a phone on it, the other line is basically charging $10/mon plus tax while not being used at all. the lady i talked to was pleasant to talk to. we started off with common conversation like weather and stuff. she then asked me if she could check to see if any of my other lines were close to an upgrade, i said sure. (i guess when you talk to the cancelation department they have the authority to do an early upgrade after 1 year of use on that line). so come to find out 1 of the lines she could do early upgrade on. so she noted in my account that on that line on the 27th i am authorized to do an early upgrade on it (since she couldnt do the upgrade til the phone actually went on sale in retail). this type of upgrade is called a cross line upgrade. she said instead of activating that phone on that line i would just call them back to get the new phone put on the line that wasnt being used, that way the phone thats on the line that got the upgrade can still be used on that line. so on saturday i am going to go into the at&t store to see if they can go through with the upgrade (some stores may or may not be able to do this type of early upgrade, it depends on the manager) since it is noted in my account. if not then i will just call 611 to go through with the upgrade. maybe this info can help some of you out that are close to an upgrade and have had your line for over a year.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MattMJB0188:
I agree.

They need a 700mb plan. That would be perfect for my mom. Why not,

300mb for $5/mo

700mb for $10/mo

3GB for $20/mo

5GB w/MHS for $30/mo

10GB w/MHSP for $40

20GB for $50/mo

Truly Unlimited Data for $70/mo NO MHS, but can add the above tiers for MHS.

IF pricing was like that, I'd be fine on the 10GB plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Rhamza161:
Same here...would be great to have that much data for that price.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jovyishere:
Any chance ATT&T will go unlimited and no contract anytime soon?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MattMJB0188:
Absolutely not. That was some wishful thinking on my part lol. The CEO pretty much said it was the biggest mistake the company ever did by offering it. He also looses sleep over T-Mobile and Apple's iMessage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RaptorMD:
ATT's biggest mistake IS their CEO. He's a tool.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] attbrandon:
We actually don't have the network capacity to offer unlimited data. We got rid of it the same reason verizon did. We got too big. Network congestion was getting to be too great. 97% of people with the unlimited data plan in past and present don't exceed 3 gigs of data. It was the few that ruined it for everyone. I would price things differently, but i'm not in charge of pricing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Stephen_hs_78:
Tech Question

Hi my phone is stuck in boot loop :crying: I was wondering if I take my phone back to the corporate store would they have a tech people that can factory reset my phone? Its not letting me do it, thats why I ask. I just don't go there and have some tell me I have to leave my phone or something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MattMJB0188:
I agree with you that people abusing it was one of the reasons it went away. However, with the amount of money AT&T is bringing in ,they most definitely could build out the network more and add spectrum to offer it again. The network was getting congested with 3G. LTE is much more data efficient and AT&T knows this. I believe that they'd be fine with unlimited LTE. And you are right, many on unlimited wouldn't use that much, so why not offer it again, just for a piece of mind?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] j510:
Whats a tip to get 1 month advanced early upgrade. My families been a customer since cingular days and at&t still wont budge!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] attbrandon:
At&t is basically using funds from the cell network to expand U-verse to my knowledge. They're also expanding the LTE framework across the country. Supposedly we'll cover 300 million people with LTE by the end of 2014.

Personally speaking, I'd say if you want unlimited data I'd price it at whatever data plan you want +10.

Example, 3 gig data plan would be 40. 3 gigs of LTE and then you'd be throttled to unlimited 3g. Truly unlimited LTE I'd probably put at 70 or so.

Our insane speeds wouldn't be possible with so much congestion. Speed testing at work I get speeds on LTE of 43 down and 16.8 up. That would decrease really quickly with even just a few people hogging the towers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MattMJB0188:
I understand what you're saying, but what's the point of super fast LTE speeds if you can't use as much as you want? You get a brand new shiny S4 and realize you are getting download speeds of 60mbps. You can easily blow through 3GB in a day with 60mbps speeds. Tiered data limits your phone in every way possible. WiFi isn't available everywhere. I often find myself turning Wifi off because its so much slower compared to AT&T's LTE.

I do have the old $30 smartphone unlimited plan and plan on keeping it as long as I can. Its nice because you can tinker with it to bypass the throttling.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] attbrandon:
It's all a marketing scheme to be honest. We have the fastest speeds, but if we let everyone use it as much as they want, it'll throttle itself under congestion to lower speeds, giving lower results and letting other companies claim they have faster speeds than us and we lose our customers. At least that's my theory.

Also, tinker away. Here at our circle of stores we have trademark secrets that we tell NO ONE (and I won't tell anyone that asks because it's highly illegal), but there are ways to still get unlimited data at LTE speeds on phones, especially androids. I'm sure anyone reading this can find out how if they search deep enough in the internet ;).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MattMJB0188:
I never really thought of it like that. Guess that makes sense. I just wish they'd be more aggressive with their tiered data plans.

And yes, I know exactly how to achieve unlimited LTE data. I just wanted unlimited data as a current plan so I can put it on my other lines. Only have it one line.

Since you have inside connections, how about any confirmation about AT&T throttling data speeds during calls?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] buyslake:
Is it possible to go to an AT&T store and buy the phone on a month to month plan. Just pay for 1 month. Then call them up in 3 weeksweek later tell them I am

out of the country and will they give me the unlock code?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] 4ktvs:
I have never under stood why 2-3GB for $30 a month on 3G hasn't gone up any with 4G LTE being in the 50+mbs area than the under 7mbs area with 3G.

Why couldn't it be like 5-10GB for $30 a month? Or have it set up like your old min system, 5GB from 6am-9pm, unlimited night's and weekends data.

LTE is there to be used in

moderation

when the speed is necessary...

NOT

to stream unlimited TV shows and Pandora ;)

It's sort of like asking

"what's the point of gasoline if you can't use an unlimited amount for a set price each month? How DARE they actually ask me to pay for what I use!"

:p

Not that AT&T aren't greedy SOB's though (because they are). LTE data should A) Cost less and B) Have more data options to pay less for using less... but the idea that us gluttons should actually have unlimited data is dead.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] attbrandon:
You can get early upgrades for most phones but the s4 is not one of them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Cusa:
Why is that? Could please explain the reason behind it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RMXO:
I'm experiencing this too. My upgrade is in late June this yr but they won't bulge in letting me get an early upgrade. They told me 30 days is the earliest they will give me. Guess I'll just wait until late May to try again & hopefully the 32gb will be available then.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jasonk1229:
More in reference to the post you quoted it pisses me off to no avail that so many companies embrace the cloud without a true solid always fast always on Internet connection. Google is particularly bad with no storage slots(nexus lines) , LTE for sure burns through data hardcore. Att wifi hotspots are a joke at "filling the gaps". Check out Ting and those other companies which charge for what you use provided the network ie sprint is good in your area or which ever carrier is renting their network Out to said company
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sbddude:
Do the shared plans get discounted like non shared plans do? Currently my $25 2gb and $30 unlimited data get the discount.

Can you give a discount example using the 4gb shared plan and 3 smartphone lines?

Anyone else buy the phone outright with an existing prepaid plan? If so, did your old sim card work right away? It didn't for me.

The clerk at the T-mobile store inputted my phone number into their computers but then proceed to place my old sim into the HTC One and I was on my way. When I got back to work, I realize that my phone still isn't detecting any network. Did the clerk screw up and I was supposed to use the new sim? Or was I supposed to ask him to sim unlock my phone?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] arsalann24:
Hmm thats strange, if its the old sim in your phone then you should have it already activated and it should work. I don't think it matters if they put your old sim in as long as it fits and is active. Why would you have to sim unlock your phone, was the old sim not Tmobile? I would call 611 and have them check, it could be just be an activation issue, which still sounds pretty weird
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] AndrewAmazed:
My phone works perfectly fine and I am currently on the $30 100min unlimited text & 5gb data. I simply took the micro sim out of my old phone and put it into the HTC One, but I came from a HTC One S if that makes any difference. Oh and I'm running the 64gb Dev Edition

What phone did you have prior? Was it not a smartphone?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] mr.orange303:
I have this plan. All I did was put my old SIM in. Right from my other phone. It took a minute and then the data kicked in. Been working perfect. I had to give my prepaid # my $ and was on my merry way. Again zero issues.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Becool0130:
was this a micro sim card that was put in your phone? Actually, your phone is suppose to automatically update to the new sim. If not, then please give the prepaid department a call and they will ask you for the sim card number they put in your phone and activate it with your existing prepaid plan.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] unlazy4sports:
Thanks for the replies. I switched my sim card back to my old phone for the rest of the afternoon. I tried again on the One when I got home and it worked this time. Kind of weird, but whatever. Been playing with my phone since I got home and loving it!

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] lojak29:
Tmobile makes u purchase either a postpaid or prepaid meaning you must attach new service to get to purchase outright cost .Meaning if u already have a prepaid SIM and owe nothing till next month In order to get any tmo Device outright you have to pay another months bill with the purchase of the new phone .

I tried to buy the I5 with using one of my two existing lines, they said an error came back saying I had to make a bill payment to get it for 579$ ,which means essentialy even tho bill wasn't due I had to pay 70$ again.Now I'm paid up till June ,same with the HTC one I got today had to pay for another months prepaid to get it for 579

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

Yes it is available for prepaid I got a HTC one and I5 on my existing prepaid lines and paid the 579 but u must pay another months bill if u already have prepaid because they set it up that way u can't no longer just walk in and buy a phone outright for the Cheaper outright price without paying some type of bill payment wether u have a line or need one .Kinda tricky but that's the deal

So ya you can get it for 579 on prepaid

6. can a just flash a new rom (say ViperOne) and the sim unlock will be OPEN ????

7. some people told me - that a new rom wo'nt open the sprint phone to other-than-sprint SIMcards , so i tried ways to "unlock".

8. i tried the Sieempi, is generating for frre the config.dat , i boot the phone with OTG usb cable , didn't worked - got errors "failed ...."

9. i tried to S-OFF with firewater, also failed (since i have HBOOT 1.57 not 1.54)

Thanks for your advise, I just want to make sure i understand it.

You advise me to falsh a http://sprint_one_stock_rooted_odex_4.06.651.4.zip/ ROM ,

Fisrt - will it OVERRIDE the sprint sim check ? meaning i could put inside the phone a GSM sim (not a sprint one)?

Second - I have HBOOT 1.57, S-on , rooted phone , etc (as i stated in first post), so now i only flash the 4.06 rom file ?

no need for firmware RUU ? (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2658910) ?

Better if you can direct me to a full guide for flashing that rom (when actually downgrading from 4.4.2)
