Sadly today I got rid of my beloved Note. before my trial period expired I made the decision to cut ties with it. not because it was a bad phone but because of 2 issues. 1) the high price of AT&T phone service and the lack of unlimited data plan. I came from sprint 13 days ago and could not stand looking at my data usage and my first bill scare me. so I returned back to Sprint with my new S3. Love the service on AT&T. I think is the best so far. but not at a cost AT&T want it. so,,, good bye Note!!! :crying::crying:. one more thing,,,,, THANK YOU ALL AT THE NOTE FORUM FOR YOUR SUPPORT AT ROOTING,UNROOTING AND ROM FLASHING YOU ARE THE BEST AT THIS COMMUNITY XDA-DEVELOPERS ROCK!!!!!!
understandable...hate to see you leave but it is pricey. I, too, pay about 45 dollars more a month for att but I couldnt stand sprints service in my area. the trade off for me is worth it for now. plus, i love my note. it IS the main reason I came to att. be cool man. youll be missed...
Me too men. The Note was the reason I switch to AT&T. But I'll be watching for the Note2!!!!

Thank god I have grandfather unlimited plan. Even though they cap the speed, at least I don't have to worry about overage. Sprint Sucks where I live.
I am sure you will be happy with S3.

So far AT&T is the best network. I tryed Cingular,Sprint,AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon. Here the best in order in my opinion are AT&T and Sprint. I tried Verizon but lost Data connection at home!!! So after 2 days I canceled my contact.

I was told in NYC they are turning all the old payphones into wifi hotspots. I was wondering if there is any truth to that or if that already happened? If that is the case you would never need to have a data plan.
Certainly understand. I spent years w/Sprint (not always enjoyable) BUT switched to AT&T when I got the iPhone3g when it came out.
I'd love to try Sprint again...maybe they will get a Note.
HAVE FUN with the S3 (even though it is tiny).

That sucks. That almost happened to me this time when I changed my phone to GNote from Atrix. ATT tried to pull a fast one by charging me the same price for 3gb of data. It wasn't a difficult process but they did have to make a claim. Nowadays even supervisors can't change the plan... Thankfully, i keep a good eye on my usage.
I wonder if you guys can get the unlimited data plan back with the iPhone 2G (aka Original iPhone) trick. Get an old iPhone, activate it on iTunes and it will get you the unlimited data plan since that was the only plan available for the iPhone 2G. Don't know if that loophole was closed but some people have claimed they tried it in December and it was still working as of then.
EDIT: Looks like that loophole has been closed and no longer works
Beats getting overcharged i guess buat am able to use my phone normally so maybe now att is using there heads
or you can go the verizon way and have an 10gb plan (20gb if ya bought it at christmas time)
now theres a plan i dont think anyone will cross

They've been doing it for months and its everywhere not just in select areas but most people wouldn't ever use enough data to get throttled.
The only real change is that now they've set the throttle cap at 3gb for HSPA+ phones & 5gb for LTE phones. Up until last month they were basing the throttling on being in the 'top 5%' of other users in your area, which resulted in people on 'unlimited plans' getting throttled under 2gb.
Whoops I hitbthebthanks button. People are not getting throttled like they are supposed to. Its pretty easy to see. They are being selective

Well thanks for the thanks anyway lol.. I was always suspicious of how they were throttling but now that they've set some actual numbers in stone I feel a little better about it. I'm a little irritated though that I pay for two identical unlimited data plans (for the past 5 years) and now one gives me 3GB while the other gives me 5GB.. even though I pay the same for both.. Oh well, its better than randomly being throttled at 2GB I guess.
At about 6.5gbs (which is pretty low for my average monthly usage) and have not been throttled even after reviving notification.

The iphone 2g trick is a way to possibly get an unlimited data plan. There was a loophole where it would allow you to keep the iphones 2g unlimited data plan when swapping to your new phone.
Im not sure if it still works tho. You could try to hopefully find a ATT rep stupid enough to do it tho. Good luck, my buddy got called out on it when he tried.

"Abuse King" I certainly hope it said this. It would be epic... All hail the King of abuse!
$70 "T-Mobile Monthly 4G" pre-paid will give you unlimited talk, text, and 5gb of data before they throttle.
They also offer 100 minutes, unlimited text, and 5gb before throttling for $30 a month (which is what I use)
Sorry, I can't speak to Simple Mobile and their throttling, I just had to quote the abuse King.
I read through their ToS. It says
Protective Measures
To provide a good experience for the majority of our customers and minimize capacity issues and degradation in network performance we may take measures including temporarily reducing data throughput for a subset of customers who use a disproportionate amount of bandwidth. Additionally, in the event that a customer is in violation of the Permissible and Prohibited Data Uses listed above, we may reduce your data speed for the remainder of that billing cycle or terminate data service without notice or refund. We may also suspend, terminate, or restrict your data session, Plan, or service if you use your Data Plan in a manner that interferes with other customers' service, our ability to allocate network capacity among customers, or that otherwise may degrade service quality for other customers.
Update: Now this is just funny. I went to check if Simple Mobile is a BBB accredited Business, they are not. Look at what the BBB rated them though.
http://www.la.bbb.org/business-revi...ail/Simple-Mobile-in-East-Irvine-CA-100094297
Yup welcome to the scam that is Simple Mobile. Because all their customers are month to month, they give not two ****s about retention - in fact retention goes AGAINST their business model...they suck you in with false advertising and blatantly lying to consumers, lying about unlimited data, then turn you off COMPLETELY at about 1gb. And when you call to complain they LITERALLY CANT WAIT to drive your business away. Cuz they in know the next chump just bought his 60 card...they basically push you out once your usefulness is up end of month.

Read the small print, if its one GB then its one GB every one knows unlimited is not unlimited anymore. At least you should if you know enough about phones to be here. I'm on contract and have 5 lines (not all mine of course, me, wife and kids) but my unlimited data is 5 GB & i expect if i hit that which i make sure i don't that i'll be throttled. So if your plan throttles at 1GB and you get throttled at 1GB what's the problem? You didn't read the small print? I just dont get it. I don't like it, i mean on 4g i get close to 20mbs & i can connect 8 devices they love to advertise that. So i could eat up my cap in a couple hrs. But thats how it is. Look how fast our phones are and oh yeah your capped but you can hit your cap faster with our network then any other lol. & buy a HTC one series phone will give you no sd card slot but 50GB of drop box storage. I laughed in the reps face when he told me that i said so with a 5GB cap in ten months i can fill up my drop box lol. Should have seen his face. I know, i know, wifi but still. I swear its a conspiracy, speed up the networks and phones lower caps and raise data prices, & now send us all to cloud storage wtf!!!! SORRY END RANT
Oh yeah & XDA premium but simple mobile? Spend your $ on a good plan.

Any folks near New York area using ATT service? Do you have coverage when you have some road trip to Bear Mountain or some other hiking place?
My biggest fear was losing data connection when you need the driving direction the most.
Verizon saved me once in Ithaca back then near those wineries, but I am not sure if AT&T can pull off the same there....
Thanks for any comments here.
I am not so concerned about the unlimited thing because my wife will still be using Verizon's unlimited line in our family plan. Not like I lose such option forever.
I'm from Albany, drive down to Long Island a lot, take the Amtrak train occasionally. LTE is hard to come by, but Hspa is pretty consistent. No complaints at all. I jumped from big red in 2011 and haven't looked back. AT&T has been great to me.

Yeah but basically you are paying twice for the phone. Verizon does not lower the price of their plans which includes a new phone subsidy, then on top of that they take the full price of the phone and charge you monthly for that until you pay it off. And lastly a $24 financing charge. Verizon is the ultimate scam corporation.
