When I left AT&T, they were forcing people with new plans to have data, and
it was when I was still using a Blackberry so, it was about 5 years ago
that I left AT&T for T-mobile.

At that time, I had a $60/month family plan of 4 phones with zero data, and
I was fine with that.

I wish I had kept it, but I travel to Europe so often that I needed the
Euro bonuses of the $100/month plan, which was 20 cents a minute in Europe
for any call and unlimited data in Europe.

I've been on *that* $100/month plan for a couple of years now. 
They no longer offer it, but just today I called T-Mobile and they tried to
get me on this plan:

T-Mobile ONE
- automatic payment
- $140/month for 4 phones
- Unlimited talk & text & data 
- Some additional Euro goodies (not worth much though)

So, basically, for $40/month for 4 phones, I can get all 4 on unlimited
data where they can "tether" at 3G speeds. When asked what tethering meant
to them, they gave me BS so I asked for the second level of support, and
what they call "tethering" is actually hot spotting because no cable is
involved.

So, for 4 phones, my choices are:
a. $100/month with currently 4GB of data per phone (nominally 2.5 GB)
b. $140/month with unlimited data (and unlimited 3G hot spotting)

Since I'm fine with the 4GB of data (only one person in the group, which
includes more than the local family uses any data at all) the $100/month
plan for 4 phones is just fine.

There is no better plan that anyone actually *knows* about, although Rod
Speed and nospam (as always) allude coyishly to mysterious non-existent
plans, just because they have nothing to offer of any concrete value.

More of your bare faced lies. We don’t bother because
you ignore anything anyone ever finds for you.

You have in fact repeatedly claimed that the 7 would
be a free phone when it is nothing of the kind.

Wrong, as always.

So they arent in fact free at all.

Even sillier than you usually manage.

And it makes a hell of a lot more sense to keep the
6 until the design fault manifests and see apple
replace it when that happens, with a phone with
at least as much memory, and no sales tax to pay,

But again, you just keep ignoring what everyone
tells you, so no one is going to bother rubbing your
stupid pig ignorant nose in what is better value for
you than that ripoff plan you are currently stupid
enough to use.

The fine print shows nothing of the sort, it actually shows that
you have to keep paying their stupid price for a cellphone
service for 2 years otherwise you get to pay for the phone.

And that is what you pay for the phone, stupid.

You completely missed the very many times we said we'd stay on the service
anyway.

Out here, there really are only three *viable* choices:
1. Verizon (I left them for good for upping my contract when I replaced a
phone under warranty)
2. AT&T (I left them for good when their VP called me after my FCC
complaint to insist that a smart phone is uselss if it doesn't have data)
3. T-Mobile (I'm perfectly happy with them)

Since you *insist* that my T-mobile plan is *too expensive*, then just give
me a URL for a less expensive plan that gives me the same thing I have now.

That is, tell me how much it would cost (give me URLS!) for four phones
with unlimited text and phone (USA only) and 3.5GB (currently) of data?

If you can get that for less than $100 a month in the USA, it will be
impressive. Otherwise, you're not stating a fact.

C'mon guys- who really cares about all that?

I mean like when the new car models are released each year, does anyone 
start drooling over stories about what length and gauge wire goes from 
the throttle to the fuel injector?

Those who care what they pay for a cellphone service do.

Irrelevant to what we are discussing there.

Rod, 

You don't think in terms of "additional costs".

You keep ignoring the simple fact which is that I'm gonna stay with
T-mobile for the next two years, whether or not a "free" phone is involved.

I already *asked* and nobody here knows of a *better* service plan than
what I'm on now anyway, for the big three in the US, which is:
- $100 for 4 phones with unlim talk & text 
- 3.5GB data (currently) per phone
- Special goodies when traveling overseas (which is why I moved off the
$60/month plan and now they won't let me back on that plan)

Plus, I've had all three, and I *like* T-Mobile, simply because they're far
more "consumer friendly" than are the other big two.

Therefore, the fact that you keep *saying* that the cost is in the service
is fine - because it is - but - you keep forgetting that I'm gonna *stay*
on the service anyway - and that there is no known ;ess-expsnsive
comparable service plan anyway on any of the big three in the US.

So there are no *additional* costs, whether I get the "free" phone or not
(other than the initial tax on the iPhone 7).

Do you concur?

there are definitely better and cheaper plans, but why should anyone
bother to suggest anything to you when you ignore what people say and
just keep on arguing.

there are more than two others.

No plan suggested for the big three was better for 4 phones, unlim calls
and text, and at least 3.5GB/phone/month with European goodies (unlimited
data and calls at 20 cents a minute both ways).

If there was a better plan on the big three, I'd already be on it.

NOTE: I already discussed I'm sick and tired of the pay-as-you-go
shenanigans, which I've done with AT&T & T-Mobile for years.

You're wrong, as always. I ALWAYS think of the total cost.

I'm ignoring nothing, I keep rubbing your stupid nose in the fact
that you are paying a stupid price for your cellphone services.

THAT’S WHERE YOU ARE FUCKING UP, FUCKWIT.

IT IS STUPID TO ONLY CONSIDER THE CARRIER THEMSELVES
AND NOT RESELLERS OF THOSE CARRIERS.

So do I.
There's nothing wrong with thinking about *total cost*, where, in fact, the
total cost, with or without the "free" iPhone 7 is the same for the next
two years (excepting the sales tax).

There is no plan from the big three in the USA that is better than mine.
And pay-as-you-go doesn't cut it (I've been there and done that).

Pay-as-you-go would drive the other 3 people nuts, in fact.
So they'd drive me nuts (since some are women!).

I have had Verizon.
I have had AT&T.
I have had T-Mobile.

They're all good and bad but if you know of a monthly plan by a "reseller"
for my 4 phones, that is *better* than mine, what *is* that plan?

Simply give me a company name that has a phone number that I can call as
soon as I get your response.

Just one word - a company name that has a phone number that I can call to
ask them what they'd offer to me to compete with my current T-Mobile plan
of 4 phones, unlimited talk & text, 3.5GB/month, and European goodies such
as unlimited data and 20 cents a minute.

Note: The kids text like fiends, and the wife sends only about 50 or so
text a day, while I probably send only about five a day on average (if
that). 

The kids are on the phone 24/7 making calls to their friends, and they use
the data but the wife and I could do just as well with 200 MB of data or
less a month.

Only one kid bumps up against the data limits though (because she doesn't
have the sense to turn off sync of unnecessary stuff, mostly). The other
kid is a smarter kid and has data under control. 

I'm sick of the pay-as-you-go restrictions, so, that's not an option (been
burned too many times as I don't keep up with expiry dates). 

My point in explaining my needs is that I don't have to exactly match my
current T-Mobile plan - but I have to match the *needs* of the 4 members of
the plan.

Me? I could do just fine with something like 10 calls a day and 10 texts a
day and 500KB a day - but there are others involved some of whom are kids,
and half of whom are not technically astute (which makes life difficult
technically). (The boys know far more than the girls, in almost everything,
except makeup and clothes and fashion and cooking, etc.).

Only because you are actually stupid enough to be paying for the
'free' phone even when you arent actually getting a free phone.

Only a terminal fuckwit such as yourself is actually stupid enough
to only ever use one of the big three and not a reseller of those.

Like nospam said, no one is going to do your work for you,
you'll just be a terminal fuckwit and ignore it whatever is found.

In other words, you just made it up and can't prove a word you said.

I prove what I say; you never do.

Here's "my" T-Mobile plan:
1. No contract 4 phones for $100/month (plus regulatory stuff)
2. Unlimited calls to/from usa & unlimited texts
3. 2-1/2GB data per phone (special promo of 4GB data up to 2/19/2017)
4. In Europe, unlimited data & all in-country and to/from USA calls are 20 
cents/minute 
5. Tablets are free 200GB/month data
6. I can use *any* GSM phone that I want to use (they don't care)

I moved off the $60/month plan to the $100/month plan mostly for the Europe 
plan since we live in Europe every year for at least a month or two.

If I want *more* data (I never do), it's:
TABLET:
- add $10 for 2GB/month (which you can add or cancel at any time)
- add $20 for 6GB/month (which you can add or cancel at any time)
PHONE:
- add $15 for 6GB/month (which you can add or cancel at any time)
- add $30 for 10GB/month (which you can add or cancel at any time)
- add $45 for unlimited data (which you can add or cancel at any time)

Does *anyone* on this entire set of newsgroups have a *better* plan that 
that above which averages $25/month per phone (plus fees) for unlimited 
calls and texts and 2.5GB of data and good Europe prices?

If so, by way of comparison, what does *your* plan for 4 phones cost and 
deliver?

While it's impressive how often Rod Speed and nospam can't back up what
they say, I can, and do, so here's a list of the lowest cost reasonable
plans available currently (this article is dated June 21, 2016).

More of your lies.

After I put in considerable effort pointing out the advantages
of using a cloud, only to have you, the terminal fuckwit, actually
stupid enough to keep proclaiming that manually moving stuff
about using bluetooth is better, you'll have to pardon me if I
don’t actually bother to waste my time with rubbing your
stupid nose in where you can do better than T-Mobile.

> I prove what I say; you never do.

More of your lies with the use of the cloud, how to
play youtube videos with then screen off, etc etc etc.

Like I said, when you can't do any better than lie thru
your fucking teeth, here goes the chain on your lying shit.
