Left Kansas City with a connection working. Have traveled 8 days going to Seattle — never connected again, not even in Seattle. Broadband not available. They got us for$99 and we plan to get our money back as soon as we return to KC.

I pay for an unlimited plan, but I am not getting an unlimited plan. This is fraud and bait and switch tactics as they are not delivering “unlimited” but they are selling unlimited. T-Mobile should have to adhere to truth in advertising or be forced to tell the truth up front and sell a “not quite so unlimited” unlimited plan…..any thoughts …..?

If your needs are somewhat modest and
If your Blackberry works over AT&T GSM then follow the advice at the end of this article and the link it points.
1. get a prepaid sim card and buy $25 of ‘minutes’and then spend $20 of the $25 on the data plan. That’s 100MB
for 30 days. And it’s cumulative (like the voice) so
buy another 100MB and it will be added to your balance and extended for then NEXT 30 days.
Joe

If you are going for a cheapest deals be very CAREFUL that you do not buy the deal where there is not enough data allowance limit for you per month, if you are not careful in selecting you could get a heavy bill worth £200 or more if you exceed you monthly limit.

Read the article “Know The 3 Secret Users of Mobile Broadband” at

Hope this helps.

Thanks

I think if there is data allowance then it should very clearly not define it as unlimited as this could deceive people. In UK, some of the network companies advertise 3GB or 5GB as unlimited, where as 3 UK mobile network advertise it as 15GB for £15 and I think that is the best way to advertise to have the message across very clear and loud.

Thanks for the post and I like the article. Looking forward for your posts in future.

Thanks
Alam

I saw your question while reading comments on verizonwireless.com, since I am researching that myself.

We’ve seen the same starting to happen in Australia more recently and would expect the US to follow suit soon. To give you an idea of the price difference between the counties (sorry all priced in local currency) you can see here UK mobile broadband prices http://www.broadband-expert.co.uk/cheapest-mobile-broadband/ , Australian mobile broadband prices http://www.broadbandexpert.com.au/mobile-broadband/ and US Mobile broadband prices http://www.broadbandexpert.com/mobile-broadband/ . To save you doing the currency conversions the US is way more expensive than the UK and Australia. I’d predict US prices to be more in line with Eurpean prices within 18-24 months.

I am a truck driver and need my internet (More of an addiction for it than anything) but I am always having to put my at&t card up before my 5gb resets for the month because I am constantly maxed out. Here is the middle east article I am referring to…..
