we can one day unlimited data for $1 in the philippines.
raka, 03 Apr 2016well...$5 is only for 8gigs data, i mean it doesnt come with sms or call.
but still, even w... moreIt's because the US is so big and they need some money to set up and maintain Cell Towers. The US is also one of the forerunners in Next Gen data speeds (xG). For example, in the UK, its £10 for 2GB of data and £20 (I pay £15 because I got it before the price increased to £17 then £20) for unlimited on 2 networks.
We don't have a T-Mobile equivalent, but Three (and one of its MVNOs called iD by Carphone Warhouse) is probably the closest we have to the Uncarrier initiatives.
Herodroid, 03 Apr 2016omg so damn good for you... And yeah, for 20 $ they get unlimited calls & texts
while... morewell...$5 is only for 8gigs data, i mean it doesnt come with sms or call.
but still, even with unlimited calls and sms that price tag is still a scam.
i wonder why data is so expensive on modern country???
is it about coverage??? or data speed??? we re already have lte here, but data price isnt insane like that.
raka, 02 Apr 2016is it data-only plan or comes with unlimited sms & calls???
because 2gb with $20 price ... moreomg so damn good for you... And yeah, for 20 $ they get unlimited calls & texts
while here in my country, I can buy 1gb for 2,49 euros... Isn't this ridiculous? A total scam.
AnonD-521549, 02 Apr 2016Just stumbled upon this topic, my sister has been on this g'fath'd data for..? 5, 6, 7 yrs. Th... moreNothing. espcially if ur a really badass data user. New phone? Just save up for it. But if ur not too much of a data user then perhaps a very good bargain would do.
raka, 02 Apr 2016is it data-only plan or comes with unlimited sms & calls??? because 2gb with $20 price ... moreSame here, I also live in a 3rd world country and even if prices ar not as low as in your country here for a little less than $20 USD you get unlimetted calls within the country, to US and Canada (I live in Mexico), unlimited SMS to the same countries, 4GB of data and the use social networks, Whatsapp and email is "unlimited". And I say "unlimited" because what you actually get a second pool of 25GB of data just for that.
Herodroid, 02 Apr 2016as far as I know 2 GB plan costs 20$ in the US.
BTW, why gsm arena puts US carriers news... moreis it data-only plan or comes with unlimited sms & calls???
because 2gb with $20 price tag is absolutely a scam.
meanwhile here i am, living in a 3rd world country and i can get 8gb just for ~$5

Subzz, 02 Apr 2016Wanna know something.. How much is the cost of, say, 1 GB data on any carrier?as far as I know 2 GB plan costs 20$ in the US.
BTW, why gsm arena puts US carriers news when people world wide doesn't care about it? since we don't live in the US anyways?

Just stumbled upon this topic, my sister has been on this g'fath'd data for..? 5, 6, 7 yrs. They've been consistently baiting her with incentives to give it up.. just would like to get some informed opinions on what would be a fair exchange if she was to do so. She already has an upgrade due, I guess what I'm getting to is: what kind of bargaining position is she in for incentives ? RE: free phones...a reasonable discounted data plan..
etc... appreciate any input from those with experience in this matter.
What would it take to buy you out ?
There still isn't many predominantly data contracts though...
Nowadays you can even phone people with data, so minutes and texts might be a thing of the past in the recent future.
TMo all the way !
