Hehehehe taking that data plan off... Successs!!!!

[gaston]

let me double check guys
but i manage to trick the CS gal into tacking it off
hehehhehehe
ill comfirm but right now i dont have a data plan and a working g1

[NinjaKnight]

How did you manage that? And why.

[jgoldy15]

Yeah, why do you not want the data plan? You do know that the first 7 days T-Mobile is giving free data to everyone right?

[gaston]

why?
because my father wanted a cool phone but cannot use most of the functions...
but wanted gps (i am working on a offline one)
and he is in wifi range most of the time...
but i am keeping the data part! its the cool part lol

as on the how i promise u guys i will reveal all this when i get all ths comfirm... hehehehe but the CS confirmed it, yes sir it has been taken off hehehehehe

[gaston]

Yeah, why do you not want the data plan? You do know that the first 7 days T-Mobile is giving free data to everyone right?



yea i know but in the long run i dont want the free 7 days to held me accountable for a 25 recurring changes!

[VGPOP]

Bad news buddy.....

Representative told me we all have data for free until 29th, and then data starts kicking in.

You won't have service after that.

[gaston]

ignorance is bliss...

not trying to be a ****
but look that have phone with GPS (ETEN, HP, even ASUS)
you can get those phones they are unlock
they run on WM, all u need is some maps (I HAVE THE MAPS, and programs as a matter of facts)
for one state and POI etc its about 300mb
Android is open...
ill let you connect the dots.
dont take my word for it... google these words ETEN PHONE & Iguidance hehehehheeheh

[rockstarstatus156]

my thoughts exactly, the first 7 days are free after that they begin billing you for the data.
you may want to call CS back and add it again...

[Gsco]

I don't know why, but I'm picturing you with horns and a pitchfork!

[gaston]

nah now that its OFF i dont want to have the hassle to fight and trick and lie to get it off again bc of 7 free days

[gaston]

I don't know why, but I'm picturing you with horns and a pitchfork!
which part is evil lol

[kanariya]

i dont know why are you so happy about it.
this is not something "breaking".

[gaston]

i dont know why are you so happy about it.
this is not something "breaking".
i am happy because that what i wanted (no data)
and it was so sooooo hard
hate from poster, hate from tmo, hell even hate from CS
but in the end... i got what i wanted

[kanariya]

Good for you I guess..

[gaston]

Good for you I guess..

thanks... i guess lol
nah i am happy not g1 data i wanted, no data g1 i get...
what else can i ask for?

why do u guys hate ppl that dont want data so much?

[So Real]

why in the world would u not want a data plan for a pda device??? its like buying a ferrari w\o an engine.....but hey 2 each his own

[mast3rpyr0]

You know if you accidently click browser or something it will start billing you and if you download an app youll be charged. and if you download an app that uses data you will be charge. $25 a month is a good deal for something like this, even tho you think your not using it. post back when you realize your plan back fired.

I have to a mod here

[SanctiAnderii]

Pretending that I do believe this, why are you going through all this hassle just to use the GPS? Why not just buy an actual GPS and be done with it? Seriously, W T F?

I call shenanigans. (AOTS reference)

[damnitpud]

with the way TMobile support is i cant see it being that hard to get rid of the data plan. Go on to the website change your phone or use your old TMobile phone(borrow one from a friend or buy one from craigslist for $10 for new customers) call 611 and tell them you are selling your G1 on Ebay and you have a phone that doesn't need data. i am sure they will take it off.

I called TMobile after they fixed the $5.99 proxy and got the PDA support to give me full data for the weekend...but the weekend lasted about 9 months!

They really appreciate their customers and most of the techs will bend a lot of rules or get their supervisors to bend them for you.

I haven't read the TOS, but does it say the 2 year contract is for being a customer or that you will have data and be a customer for 2 years?

[jeffsaha]

is there a gps mapping program available or that will be readily available that is not google maps? because google maps does not store the maps on the device from what i know. so it uses the said data, that the OP said he decided to take off, to pull the maps. plus a handheld gps device is like $100...one wonders what people are thinking sometimes. unless the OP is selling the device, then awesome job on removing the data plan? :)

[gaston]

I do not understand what is the use of the internet oriented phone and not to have the data plan on it... You can definitely send text messages for 20 cents ...

thanks!
finally one "non-hater" lol

[djwaz]

Im not quite sure what he is saying about taking off the data plan or using it without one a but confusing if you ask me but, I do know your phone will not work with another sim card in it from a different provider, yes it can be unlocked and I guess technically you could use it as a dummy phone to make calls but you will not be able to use anyones 3 g network without a tmobile data plan. Why not just buy one of those modded I phones or something, seems like a lot of trouble for nothing, but hey I/m with cow on this one..whatever floats your boat, just seems a little overboard for what you want to do, plus you may get caught in some loophole anyways , then is it really worth it? I doubt it

[RussianSolja]

I don't see the point of having an internet phone with out any internet. :confused:

lol ya sounds like to me you want the phone for a phone a video player an mp3 player a "offline" gps (via loaded maps on the card) and internet surfering machine via wifi

Sounds like fun to me i hope they dont come back and try and make you pay for a data plan because you got it for the 179

i had to pay 340 bucks for mine with shipping

in the end... it was just 399 for a contract free... thats still fine with me.
i mean that bearly the price on an Arcos and it doesnt even call =)
but hey what if i can get away with it...
they even where nice enough to unlock 3 og my g1's...

thanks tmo

gaston.. no contract and 399 for phone is not worth talking about... stfup about all else and get to the chase...
show us proof you dont pay for data and use the g1 for phone only with t-mobile. u can't....

[P-Unit87]

I want same thing here. I want the g1 without a data plan just b/c i'm getting two of them. I want to sell one and make some $$$ for it. The other one, for me, i'll keep the data plan for that one. Come on, you probably make around $400 dollars for it. With that, i could get a 16gb micro sd card and still have some left over.

So, how did you remove that data plan???

[JoshHart]

why is everyone so angry?

[jimmie geddes]

I'm sure T-Mobile is going to catch on to this. I logged into My T-Mobile, my account still shows my phone as the Dash, with my National Business Plan of 300 min for $29.99, and T-Mobile web for $5.99 per month.

3G data is working great on my G1, actually faster than my iPhone 3G.

[escosuave]

If you remove the G1 data plan and use the Total internet or TZONE, and use something else then you won't get future updates, this came straight from T-Mobile USA corporate this afternoon.

Word of mouth from a corporate employee to me who knows what he is talking about 100%, a good friend, so I don't have any documentation or "links". Not everything is on the internet. Take it or leave it just passing the word, out.

[iPhace]

I don't see what the big deal is. T-mobile is only looking for a plan- some sort of contract. Data is a bonus, but the money is in voice. The cheapest voice plan is all they ask for. They want to bundle data and all sorts of extras, but they can't force you to take data.

I had a sidekick lx, and 2 non-data phones which could be upgraded to the g1 for the 179 price , plus the 18$ upgrade fee (why quote 179?) plus tax. came to $211 per. The store said they HAD to sell me the data plan. One of these went to a buddy who traded me a bunch of stuff for the g1, and I was turning off the lx data, so it was really easy to talk to Tmobile and get them to do everything I wanted. They did say something to the effect that the g1 is not intended to work properly without data, or something to that effect, but I was able to say "I understand" and move past that.

SO, to sum it all up, as I left the tmobile store, I had all three lines with data- 2 with G1 data and 1 with sidekick data. After a bit of talking with the 1-800 customer service, I had 1 line with data (the old sidekick number, which I took the sidekick SIM and used it immediately in the G1) and the other were as before, no data.

In the end, all they care about is that you are "on contract", but they don't care which contract.

[ratedz]

To his father it's a camera phone for $179 and it also plays MP3s.

I'm pretty sure you can get a camera phone that plays MP3s for free from T-Mo. If that's really what his father was looking for, I think he got screwed out of $179.

Thanks for the info. I've still been trying to figure out if the data plan is part of the 2-year renewal, or if it's just the traditional 2-year voice renewal. I have 4 on a family line and only needed 2 upgrades (for myself and my brother) but wanted all contracts to end at the same time, just in case. I've spoken to 3 CS reps and they've all been wishy washy on the answer, though professionally answered.

Camera phone with MP3 playback and WiFi from T-Mo...$50

Offline GPS (aka AAA Road Atlas)....$10.36
Amazon.com: AAA Road Atlas 2009 (Aaa North American Road Atlas): AAA Publishing: Books


I think that will meet all your specified needs for just over $60. That would have left about $120 for your "porno vids"...that's a fair amount of porn!

Hehehehe o wait i think i lost a few brain cells reading your posts. Seriously. You wonder if we can read? I don't have a problem reading most posts on here, but I found myself reading yours multiple times trying to understand what you were trying to say. As others have said, until you can provide proof, I'm calling BS.

[jimmie geddes]

When I ordered the G1 it had me check off the new data plan, I did, I didn't remove the G1 Data and add T-Zones. My T-Mobile still shows T-Zones, and shows my phone as the Dash.

[rontopia]

at the risk of making people angry..

I think this phone would be cool with out a data plan.. I'm a cube dweller and I have wifi at home and at work that I can piggy back on. the amount of time I will actually spend on the 3g network might be less that 10% of the time.. that being said, I still like the phone for all it can do.. apps, music, video(watched starwars on it yesterday)camera, full keyboard... and so on. everything I want to do I can do on wifi.. I think you can do everything except buy mp3's wtih amazon, but for people like me I would still want the phone without 3g because im in a wifi network 22 hours a day.

some want the data plan but for some its really just an extra expence.

just my .02

some ppl here are interested about a g1 with no data and i am part of those ppl.

[gaston]

I'm pretty sure you can get a camera phone that plays MP3s for free from T-Mo. If that's really what his father was looking for, I think he got screwed out of $179.
is it the coolest phone out there?
does it play vids? or more importantly gps?

no i understand and i am glad that some one is telling me instead of just being rude...
well not to be ****y or any of that i am ust glad that i got what i wanted, that you beleive it or not.
but at the very word of a g1 with no data which to some ppl goes against what they were told just seams to make em... angry i know that my attitude doesnt help.
but even before i started been a "kid" ppl just hate ppl that doesnt wanna conform...
its ok guys :D:D:D
u got your g1 for 600 bucks a year with 3g
and i got mine for slightly less with no 3g
i mean you are happy with your phone i am happy with mine...
the reason i post is bc there are ppl out there that wanna be... like me happy in our own way with a couple benjamin in out pocket

that should be cool right?

[rdgdmd]

my G1 works and i preordered it on the tmo site without ticking any of the data plan and it let me. doubled checked with a cs thrice and almost everyday on my.tmobile site and it still does not show that i have a data plan. but the site knows that i have a G1 and it was giving me choices to tick any data plan if i wanted to add it or simply keep my existing services.

yea thats what i wanted to do... for some reasson i clearly remember that i didnt manage to order without picking at least something
but good for u

Well, I got the data plan ( 25.00) and all is great with me! I'm happier than a clam still in the water! lol! Also got the isurance on my phone. Better safe than sorry!

:D

[rdgdmd]

some people just don't understand that threads about having the G1 without the data plan are helpful to some. and they keep flaming about the G1 is meant to be with a data plan. it's just that some people don't NEED one, not WANT one. surely,they have their reasons like me for instance. i am in a wifi place 75% of the time. i have the tmobileweb with EDGE which is great when i'm outside. and i don't live in a 3G area. and not til tmo's 3G coverage is big enough and that applications for the android is as big and useful as symbian's, i'm not getting their services.
coming from an N95 (still have it), i'm loving this phone more everyday and i can just see the android's potential to be great really fast. with the N95 i.m able to use truphone for free VOIP calls to my family in the Phils and in the states without using my minutes, walkinghotspot as a hotspot ( i have AT&T's medianet for $20/mo go phone) among other things

[darthbuddha]

OK I work at Tmo CS for one, and dont really get it. The only time the data sevice was a required was with preorder. Other than it is OPTIONAL and can be requested to be removed via CS or you can log in to your MyTmobile and remove it at any time. Though its kinda silly to have the handset without the data, but hey whatever floats your boat so boasting of how you lied and trick CS to take it off is really nothing you just had a misinformed rep if they said they couldnt take it off they were wrong. But in closing if your dad does use the G1 and and extra charges incure or the phone doesnt work please dont call CS to complain of overage/usage charges or that the phone doesnt work. As fair as a handset that would have been cheaper and have web,GPS' bluetooth, and MP3's should have tred a Sony Ericson TM506 has all the features that youd have wanted and and if you got the G1 for 179.99 you would have been eligable for full discount were I do belive that phone would have been free.

r u certain? considering that u're a CS, i'm inclined to believe u. others had to resort to tricking the CS for them to be able to have the data plan taken off. in my case, i did not have to do that because i was able to not select the data plan in my proeordering. having talked to multiple CS's, i have the impression that they all have different understandings(depends on who or what they have been briefed) of how to handle the G1 in regards to requirement of the data plan.
i think the final answer would be on the 29th when the free data will be closed. i'm hoping that tmo does not automatically include the data plan on my acct as what i've been hearing.

[Lukster]

free? you mean the sony for free?

Yes I do work at Tmo CS in a call center in Kansas and the features are optional so if you dont want call after or go to my tmobile and remove it. Again with out the feature the G1 may not function fully but thats on you.

[darthbuddha]

free? you mean the sony for free?


Yes depending on the eligablity the TM506 it could be free with 2 year contract and Ive even seen it for 47.99 with partial discountwith 2 year contract.

[gaston]

OK I work at Tmo CS for one, and dont really get it. The only time the data sevice was a required was with preorder. Other than it is OPTIONAL and can be requested to be removed via CS or you can log in to your MyTmobile and remove it at any time. Though its kinda silly to have the handset without the data, but hey whatever floats your boat so boasting of how you lied and trick CS to take it off is really nothing you just had a misinformed rep if they said they couldnt take it off they were wrong. But in closing if your dad does use the G1 and and extra charges incure or the phone doesnt work please dont call CS to complain of overage/usage charges or that the phone doesnt work. As fair as a handset that would have been cheaper and have web,GPS' bluetooth, and MP3's should have tred a Sony Ericson TM506 has all the features that youd have wanted and and if you got the G1 for 179.99 you would have been eligable for full discount were I do belive that phone would have been free.
wow well i wished that i had you over the phone and didnt have to do all that so it didnt seam to be like... an exploit to me lol
the thing is i know you can take it off i just had some very stubborn rep
hey if it was easy there wouldnt be thread on "help i dont want data plan"
i mean you dont see thread like "hey guys i setup my voicemail" right well maybe one or two but probably with no post in there right unless there are revolutionary changes in setting up your voicemail.
anywho, i wish that all rep a tmo would have been on the same page and when i ask to have data taken off, the anwser would have been "absolutly sir, but i must warn you, that most of the funct. will not work... blablabla.."
and i would have been like "ok"
end of the story.
no post no fust happy rep with a happy costumer
i mean i even get called a liar for saying that data is off
since u r with tmo
maybe you can do AC a favor and take care of those that dont want the data and help them out... just a thought :rolleyes:

oh yea that sony dont have wifi...
not a real gps
fugly
bottom line i dont mind or he doesnt mind paying 180
i mean according to u it would have been hassle free anyway

[darthbuddha]

Thats what they should have did but that is why I am #5 in the country from all our call centers ;). But if you guys have questions I will be happy to answer them at anytime.

150
no gps, got a-gps
no wifi
NO ANDROID =(

[darthbuddha]

Ya I know might as well get the G1.

[Spymaster101]

So straight forwardly:

If i get the G1, will it work without a data plan? Why do I not want the data plan you ask? Well apparently I'm still under the control of my dad and he won't allow me to get/keep a data plan; yes, he's very super paranoid. So, when I went to the T-Mobile store, the T-Mobile rep said that, without the data plan you would only be able to dial 911. Is that true? Cause if it is, then obviously it would be of no use to me.

Thanks! In advance. http://www.iceinspace.com.au/vbiis/images/smilies/thanks.gif

[unknown.soul]

You can cancel the data plan after you activate it, just call customer service.

[Spymaster101]

Yea, I figured after reading through this whole thread. lol

But, after I cancel it, can I only call 911 like the T-Mobile rep told me?

[unknown.soul]

You can only call 911 if you haven't activated your phone yet.

[Spymaster101]

So that means that after I activate it I can still text, call, etc. but just no internet, email etc.?



If I'm getting repetitive, sorry.

[rdgdmd]

know what, i did not have adata plan to start with and i was able to activate by simply putting on the SIM.

[Spymaster101]

Do you know if you got charged for a data plan? Because according to some of the previous posts, T-Mobile is giving 7-days of free data.

[rdgdmd]

yes they are giving away 7 free days. mine stops at the 29th. that got me paranoid for a while and i keep calling tmo and checking my.tmobile every now and then. no data charges so far.

[Spymaster101]

So would you suggest that I wait until after the 29th to see if anybody who canceled the data plan got charged for the data plan?

[darthbuddha]

Yes data feature is free till the 29th. After that it will migrate to the G1 data feature if you dont want the data you dont have to keep it but for full function of the phone you may want to keep it. if not just log into your mytmobile online and remove or call CS and have them remove it.

[rdgdmd]

So would you suggest that I wait until after the 29th to see if anybody who canceled the data plan got charged for the data plan?

getting charged b4 the 29th for data is unlikely since it was pretty much consistent to what everybody knows, so i'ts gotta be more than just a rumor.
on and after the 29th i'll still be calling the CS and keep on checking my plan summary to make sure they don't add it to my plan.

[xravexboix]

Since you selected a plan at pre-order, it will automatically migrate. You can call CS and let them know that you do not want it. They will go leaps and bounds to say it's required to have the data plan to use the phone (period), but many have tested it and the phone works just fine as a phone (with wifi). The data plan is not a part of the contract.

You'll likely be prorated for the day... but "oh no!! $1!" hehe.

I ordered my g1 on a different line on what i am actually using it on. Will they change the line i ordered it on or will they realize i am actually using it on a different line? The line i am using it on has vpn internet on it and it works fine with the g1 so far. No glitches or anything. Worse case, on the 29/30th, and they do add the g1 to the ordered line, i will call them up and tell them to remove it since that line doesn't have the g1 on it. And if the g1 works fine with the vpn, screw it, i will just stick with that. Save $5

You'll be fine. Once "it hits", it'll likely be defaulted on the line it was ordered on unless you've already called to swap it over. Worst case, they have to swap it when you call and no extra charges are incurred since it's the same plan, simply on the wrong line.

I ordered the G1 on a new line and am using the G1 on my old line. I had to actually call 611 to get the ! service taken off the old line and probably could have gone without adding it to my old line.

[bugmenot1]

thank you for posting.
I also want g1 without data plans.

a friend said order g1 with data, then cancel later. it works for a lot of people. Just want to double check, any successfully done that.

I saw latest post data was 10-25-08. I wonder why no one post here after. is community delete the post?
