For customers who have paid their phones Justice
Dear

I have an old iPhone 3GS that I bought four years is now coming on. I really do not need to upgrade my phone. But AT & T. At the RATE want to renegotiate that I have any options to reduce their monthly service, you can expect?
Thank you
Dear
Unfortunately, AT & T is based on the price of your monthly service whether or not your phone is fully charged does not adjust.after payment is made. A thick skin over prospects tool carrier fees cover the cost of paying if they are forced to leave the service early.

Why? The simple answer is because AT & T and other carriers in the same manner as is possible in the planning as you want to wring maximum revenue. And the fact that you are still an ideal customer.

Verizon unlimited data users beware: Make sure that your next phone is 4G
An AT & T representative call you if they can see you had a deal. After all, most things in life are compromised. It may be worth a try.
But you bring this question to a very interesting idea. And there is a chance that the industry's future pricing plans can change.
Here's why: Last year, T Mobile this new price plan, which calls primarily do away with subsidies is being started. The new planning tools that customers need to pay the full cost. But these devices, which will cost 600 dollars or more can help with potential for sticker shock, T mobile users in installments over 20 months to pay for their equipment is allowed .
In many ways, it looks just like a phone subsidy. $ 99 down payment if the consumer gets a call and the device pays for several months. But this project is different in that it is a device, users will have to pay monthly bills. Is low.for.
Today the plan works, all the unlimited service plan, the unlimited voice, text messaging, and data including charges of $ 69.99 for a T cell. If you buy directly from your phone, you have to pay for the monthly service. If you finance your device, a monthly cost of $ 20 a month increase. At the end of your contract period, the $ 69.99 monthly service will leave behind.
T-Mobile Classic plan pricing value, "which is like every other wireless operators is compared. U.S. $ 89.99 a month unlimited everything plan is classic., But agreement ends once the value 20 dollars a month does not go by.
In December, T-Mobile CEO John Legere said the company offering subsidies to end all service plans, and instead projects the value will transfer all its Postpaid customers.
There are rumors that T Mobile will be announced in late March that contract customers now will no tie. This is the T Mobile customers and those who pay for their equipment early to bring their own equipment or can be. But I believe it contracts and heats up the T-Mobile charges a premium over the phone if a customer is planning to buy to find.
And if you have an AT & T customer, you can buy an unlocked phone, which means you can take it to another GSM carrier. And if you buy a device full price, so you might be able to leave a compromise. But the fact is you still need a service. And if you are using one of these carriers, are planning at least two years, there really is a reason to get subsidy instruments.
But T-Mobile is planning to change the dynamic. We will follow other careers. None of the other carriers subsidizing phones. It is a price that hurts their bottom line when existing customers renew and upgrade equipment on a regular basis is. He charges customers a fee when customers upgrade to a new phone with subsidies to decide.
Big question is whether AT & T, Verizon, and Sprint customers as much as they like you to hold their instruments from their contract period will receive an additional income subsidy dislike like. We will see how popular T-Mobile's policies will have to wait.
I hope this answered your question and further clarification is offered. And good luck dealing with AT & T! I hope you enjoy your discount anyway.
On T mobile smartphone, prepaid, looking for deals
, Dear
A new smart phone without a contract'm planning to get. I really do not want to spend so much on a new phone, that is why it is called 4 nexus.
Flex Pay T Mobile prepaid plan too, but I recently read about T Mobile plans new GoSmart and he is very good. Your visit will be GoSmart 45 dollar prepaid plan, and other plans that T Mobile can offer what is the difference between?
Thank you

Dear
If you are on a budget and you open a new smart phone without a contract, want to get, then I'd say that Samsung Galaxy S4 may be a bit too expensive for you. But 16GB Samsung Galaxy S3 to be open about the international version on Amazon is selling it for $ 530. The list price of $ 899 is below the supposedly crying.

Nexus 4
4 for $ 349 from Google Play Store Google Nexus get 16GB version. Less than 8GB version. It sells for $ 299. It really is a great deal, if you want a smart phone that is unlocked for any GSM carrier you simply can take is about.
Now let's see if I can answer your other question. GoSmart prepaid brand launched last month..
By GoSmart Mobile T Mobile is a brand new property that $ 30 a month, which includes unlimited talk and text messaging offers is planning to launch. For $ 5 a month, you can get unlimited internet access. But service slow network speed 2G GPRS and EDGE T-Mobile technology is limited to work on.
If you get the 45 dollar a month service, with 5GB of data, you can upgrade the 3G HSPA network. After you hit the 5GB limit, the service is slow 2G. For $ 45 plan, even if you pay a little more than one, you still fastest service from T-Mobile will not have access to.
T Mobile also regularly offers prepaid services, which its fastest speed network access. Planning a $ 50 prepaid unlimited voice and text messaging that you provide, but the only real 4G data speed of 100mg. After that, the service is knocked down to 3G speeds. For 70 dollars a month, you unlimited 4G speed voice, text messaging, and you can learn. But it is $ 25 a month GoSmart project. Is.
I hope this has clarified things. And Good Luck!
