Free Galaxy S3 Unlimited Data + 300 Minutes + Unlimited Texts = £28/Month?! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Did I get a good deal? I booked it on the Three network and just found out that Three will be the third operator to give out 4G network throughout the UK!

I Bought my Galaxy S3 fully unlocked and just used payg. But im on 3 myself and get the same amount of Mins/txts/data.

Hi mate, decent deal. I've got an S3 on T-Mobile and I'm paying £26 per month... Free phone, Unlimited text, 300 mins, 750mb data.. bought from web with cashback every few months, totaling to around £24 per month. Decent deal, for £28 I could've got 600 mins, unlimited data, unlimited text from orange from the web also.. So you could've got a better network with more mins at same price :s PM me if you've not activated the sim and you could give back and get a better contract :good:

M concern was not to have to deal with the cashback hastle... I have read a lot of bad reviews people having great difficulties redeeming these special redemptions and cashback offer, for this reason I just decided to hit the nail on the head and ignore these nonsense deals. Another reason I went for Three was because they will soon be getting the 4G network aswell as EE as they have bought some of their stuff. Im hoping I will soon be able to have unlimited 4g on my Galaxy S3!
What do you think?

I got myself a 2000 minutes, unlimited texts and internet plan for £31

Hmmm, I have seen an offer very similar to this but they want £29 upfront which actually makes it about £32.20 a month. I was very tempted by a £26 a month offer from T Mobile with 1.5 gb of data but I just think that nothing beats unlimited data plan, especially with Three where they do not actually slow down speeds, I believe they just give out warnings.

Shame the current S3 isn't 4G compatible then isn't it?? I'd cancel and wait for the new upcoming version with 2GB ram, and 4G enabled I got mine on vodafone, unlimited texts, 1000 mins, and 3 month unlimited data test drive (no usage cap whatsoever) for £30pm

4G will not be free of charge and definitely not unlimited.
I got a LTE version of GS3 from Orange with unlimited Mins, texts, Internet 2 swapables and some other goodies for £33 and not to mention orange insurance policy is amazing.

Yeah it's pretty good I get 750 mind 150" texts and unlimited data for £30 a month (IM on talk mobile which is essentially Vodafone). U do know 4g won't b about till next year other than on EE.

[Q] Best T-Mobile plan for low voice, unlimited web/texts?

As a Vibrant owner, I'm of course using t-mobile. My 2 year contract is up, and I want to pay the lowest amount. I barely use my call minutes, and want unlimited texts and data. What plan should I go with?
The Tmobile site makes this confusing, because I see a $30per month plan with unlimited texts and date, and 100 minutes, but I can't switch to it.
That's because its prepaid.
For now I'm on T-Mobile prepaid $30, 1500 voice/text combo and 30mb data.
Not much data but I always use WiFi.
$49.99.
Classic plan?
500 Minutes, Unlimited (2GB 4G) data & Unlimited texts? :|
The online $30 plan is a special online only and I believe requires a new prepaid phone or acct/number.
I currently use unl talk text and data with first 100mb at 3/4g. I have gone over the 100mb a few times and don't really notice any decrease in speed. There is a $45 unl talk text and data from Walmart straight talk. They use tmo and at&t. You just have to get a sim that works on tmo from them. This will also require unlocking and a new number.

I don't know the prices, but you could try simple mobile if they're in your area. It's the gsm equivalent of metro/cricket. I believe they run off t mobile towers too. You might have to unlock it though.
100 minutes unlimited text and 5 GB 4g plan does exist. It's only available at Walmart! Google it. I have Simple Mobile $40 unlimited everything plan for about a year and it's decent, but network speeds are about 120 kbps...SM also has a $50 unlimited full 4g speed plan

Yeah, I'm doing the switch next month to this but be forewarned, if you use Wi-Fi calling, it still counts against your allotted 100 minutes. I did some research on this a couple days ago and you could add another 1500 minutes (I think) for $10 extra. You can't beat that deal
OP here. I made my switch today, and something funny happened.
I went to the TMobile store, told them my 2-year contract was up, and I want to be on a monthly plan. The store representative asked, "why?" and I told him I'd rather pay $50 per month than $90. He was confused and said I had to call customer service to switch. Whatever.
I got back home, called customer service, and they transferred me to a call center which based on the accent and forced "Americanisms" is probably in India. Just to see if I could get away with it, I told them I wanted the $30 per month plan, which is supposed to only be for new accounts. The rep on the phone said OK, and now I pay $30 per month for 100 voice minutes, and unlimited text and data!
woohoo!
That's a good plan. The first 5gb at 3/4g speed, then they throttle back however I have the $50 unl talk+texts and 100mb data @3/4g. I go over 100mb all the time and rarely notice speed reduction except for downloading large files, but that's what WiFi is for.

Just follow activation steps and when you get to step 3 "Select your plan and services" there will be special for $30 plan with unlimited web and 100 mins.
I have no problems switching to that plan myself online. I did buy a prepaid sim card from a real tmobile store. They told me I could switch plans myself later on so I bought it, prepaid sim can go to other prepaid plans as well as contract plans (not that I would but that's what they said)
I've been on walmart's Family Mobile almost a year and have no complaints.
I came from att and was able to port my numbers. They were working by the time I got to my car.

[Q] Where can I find the cheapest Galaxy S3 Contract?

Just to start off, I'm based in the UK. I am looking for the cheapest contract available for the Galaxy S3... I would like a contract with unlimited data or a high amount of data within the plan... If anyone has any ideas, I would be very greatfull.
Hey Man
The only 2 provider's in the UK that give ya true unlimited data is 3 network and tmobile. 3 allows all the data you can manage and they don't slow you down or charge you. Only downfall is there coverage which isn't always great but overall does the job for me.
Tmobile coverage is better but unlimited data will be slowed if used excessively but still they do not charge.
Price wise they offer similar price ranges and I would recommend using a cash back website like Top cash back which will refund you a certain amount on the phone when using there link and applying for the plans they offer. The one plan on 3 is unlimited data and is eligible for the cash back. Have a look on Top cash back for the deals and decide between tmobile and 3 assuming unlimited Internet is top of you priority list!
Thanks a lot dude, I appriciate your help! I was at websites like e2save.co.uk and mobiles.co.uk (both owned by Carphonewarehouse). They do have some great deals un refurbished handsets but I am a little bit uncertain based on the reviews that people have placed against them!
I'm on T-Mobile 300 mins unlimited texts and 750mb

ATT data special

I just switched from 4gb to 10gb data for a few dollars more. They have a special going on for the 10gb. $100 +15 each line. Att rocks
I live in a Major metropolitan area.
I pay 70 bucks a month for T-Mobile which is comparable to ATT here (Phoenix area which is big for T-MO).
I get unlimited everything with no throttling. Last month I used about 10GB w/o a hiccup (I may have been going ROM crazy and bypassing all the WIFI restrictions on downloads since I was at work...lol). ROM - LOAD - TEST FOR 2 DAYS - WIPE - NEW ROM - LOAD - REPEAT
T-MO wins.

Yeah, I've been debating on moving to this plan since it rolled out. I currently have the unlimited data plan, 700 minutes to share between two phones with a rollover bank of about 7000 minutes since we rarely use more than a hundred combined, and unlimited texts and mms. I've been hesitant to switch because, while we are generally under 10 gigs, I sometimes get a little data crazy and we reach between 12-15 gigs combined. Do you know what they charge for overages per gig? Also, I assume that includes unlimited calls and texts? TIA for your reply

Overages is $15 a gb if you go over. If you let them know before you go over you can change your plan to higher data for $10 a gig more. Just go with the 10gb. That should be sufficient enough for 2 people. My wife and i have it we are on separate accounts. Just got it today and im happy that i dont have to worry about going over. Plus if you both are on the same contract you save a lot.
I just went from the 4gb plan on FAM share with 2 phones total. Went on the site to see what its about under my account and it showed my contract was 4gb for 150. It showed I could change to 10gb for 130. I definitely don't use near 10 unless I'm away from WiFi and still don't use near 10 but better to be on the safe side. I read all the fine print and hoopla and I saw nothing of extra charges or drawbacks. Took the 10gb and as I see so far a cheaper bill and more gigs. I see win win.

Aw, I looked to see if I could upgrade my data plan on my ancient non-existent plan and nope. Ah well.
Eventually one of the newer plans might make more sense, but every time I've done the math in the past, it turns out to be more expensive.
This is the mobile share value plan. If you're out of contract or you have your own phone, you get the 15 dollar pricing instead of 40. Its nothing special tbh

to me its worth it $130 phone bill for 10gb of data. and the data is crazy fast with att. ive measured a friends phone at work with speedtest and he hits 8mb/s on verizon,my old tmobile was at 7mb/s and with att ive hit 40mb/s. thats high speed data. ITS WORTH IT!!
my opinion.

Verizon Rep here to tell you of new promotion!

Starting 4 days ago 10gb of data is the same cost as 6gb, for 80$ and 12gb is 100$

Typical verizon, we don't care if our customers like our crap or are happy, as long as we have them by the gonads, we're happy.
If verizon cancels my unlimited it will void my contract and I will take my 3 lines and 140 dollar a month of business somewhere else.
The ONLY reason Verizon still has my business is for the unlimited plan. Loosing that, looses a customer. Their comstant locking down phones is frusterating.
I'm not on anyone's side just so you know unlimited plans make up less then 5% of their business and no one has LTE or even basic coverage like Verizon.

In my area of travel, ATT actually has the best coverage & LTE speeds. I am a Verizon customer & my signal is poor compared to my wife's on ATT.
If I loose my unlimited, I am gone to ATT. I can get better deal on 10gb plan.
That's great for you but for many it's not like that.

I get 15 gigs of data for 100$ I also got Verizon to give me 1 gig of data as a promo.
Iv only been with Verizon for about 2yrs.
I work from the Artic Ocean/North Slope of Alaska to South TX. Hands down Verizon rules where I'm at as stated 4G and basic. I had 10 go plan but jumped last month for 30 bucks more to the 30gb plan. For 130 I get 32gb (I also have an additional 2gb of promo) it's not unlimited but for current pricing and comparison to other companies it's the only way to go for me. I think it's like 225 or something crazy now if you want 30gb.
If you are on an unlimited plan and you use more than 30GB...my guess is that Verizon wouldn't mind you leaving their network! Some of you make it seem like Verizon needs your business. lol
Thank you for letting us know about this option. How does one go about getting it? I previously had Unlimited Data. I didn't want to pay the outrageous price at the time for a Note 3 outright from Ebay, Swappa, etc. So I dropped my Unlimited to 6GB. Not that I fully use 6GB anymore. Dropped Spotify once I dropped Unlimited Data. The 10GB would be a nice option.

I see you got digs for all the other carriers. Problem is, people aren't going to continue to get raped with these prices. So, Verizon will keep losing customers until they get better prices and plans.
So, when I lose my unlimited I can either:
- Pay $80/mo. for 1 GB of data on Verizon
or
- Pay $80/mo. for UNLIMITED data on T-Mobile.
That's a no-brainer. I've been a loyal customer of Verizon for years and years. But when my unlimited comes to an end, so will my loyalty because these new plans and pricing are just flat-out garbage.
I'm not going to stay on the same carrier to pay alot more and get alot less. Never going to happen.

They've renamed "throttling" to "de-prioritizing" but are now applying the same speed caps as everyone else to some percentage of their biggest data users. At 133GB I'd say your days are numbered.

I agree with you. There's no doubt T-Mobile speeds can be fast. I know a guy who gets 64 mbps down on his T-Mobile One Plus One running Cyanogen. I must be getting a good deal with AT&T tho because nobody has enabled me to save money by switching yet. I could always go to Sprint and get my bill cut in half, but then I'd have to turn in all my phones and switch to CDMA which I don't want to do.

I agree with you. There's no doubt T-Mobile speeds can be fast. I know a guy who gets 64 mbps down on his T-Mobile One Plus One running Cyanogen. I must be getting a good deal with AT&T tho because nobody has enabled me to save money by switching yet.

How long have you been with AT&T ? Maybe you are getting an old promotional plan.

Yeah that's not bad that's probably why you got a cheap plan and how much internet do you get ?

They give me 10 GB of rollover data with unlimited talk and text on 3 lines. All lines share the same data. I just checked and they don't offer the 10 GB plan anymore.
Being on any MVNO sucks if you roam internationally. They all also get de-prioritized over native traffic when the network is congested and in some cities (NYC, SFO) that's quite a bit of the time. Being on T-mobile or any of their MVNO's sucks because they have a lot of high frequency spectrum which makes indoor reception sketchy. T-mobile is a multi-billion dollar public company who's mission is to generate above industry financial returns to their shareholders. They aren't benevolent. So far they've proven they can move market share (they're still #4 BTW) by giving up profit/margin. The jury's still out until the latter starts to increase.
I am thankful to them though. I pay AT&T $70ish a month for three devices and 7GB of data and that includes the $10 a month for the Gear S I just bought from them for $149.
No wireless carrier is anyone's "friend." It's choosing between the best of a bad lot. Talking about pricing, service, and support on XDA is educational. Trying to pimp others toward a specific carrier not so much. Everyone here values different things.

Thanks for confirming this for me as I have metroPCS Unlimited no throttle plan, too bad we can't get this turned on a tablet plan. LoL
I just won this watch for 145 USD I guess now it's time to sell my Original Galaxy Gear rooted with custom TWRP recovery and Null_ 23 rom. LoL!! The curves will go nicely with my Note Edge. haha
Stupid Queston About The Gear S Activation & MetroPCS
@jcar6245 When I get it do I need to activate it to my phone and then take it into metroPCS for activation? I got a Note Edge, but I didn't know if I need to get service turned on imei activation first and then sync it to my phone or vice versa. LoL
That process got the best of my dyslexia, I guess it doesn't really matter which way ya do it right?
Damn I'm on metro pcs with four phones and two have hotspot for just 105.00 I was curious how much it would be to add a smart watch
