$30 Plan Gone!?!?!?!?

You get throttled down to 2g speeds until the end of the month, but still can use it and don't get charged any overages.
 
That works, and leads to this question:

Just to save money, I cut my cable internet and tethered through Sprint. It was almost always just under 5GB and they didn’t care, but 3G made it rather pointless. So, if get a used Exhibit 4G and a SIM (mandatory, afaik), T-Mobile won’t care what I’m doing?
 
On the 30 plan, tethering is not included by nature. I'm not sure how strict they police it though. Their new UnCarrier plans have tethering built in though and still aren't terrible price wise compared to the other major carriers' plans.
 
They've completely gotten rid of their old pricing scheme and have these new ones. These are their new postpaid plans, but are all non contact. All have unlimited minutes and unlimited texting, starting at 50 dollars for 500 mb of data at 4g, though unlimited past that point just throttled, 60 for 2.5gb, or 70 for totally unlimited unthrottled data. Through on the total unlimited plan, you have to add the tethering, but on the non unlimited tethering is included.
 
I am on the the $30 plan, with 5gbs then throttled, when I sign in to t mobile they give me add on option of tethering at $15 per month.
There isn't any other information on it such as if tethering will be unthrottled up to 5gb as the phone is or if the limit is lower.
 
What I don’t understand: if they’re offering 5GB per month, why does it matter how it’s consumed?
 
Found some interesting info today.
I logged into my account and check the change plan, it tells me im on the $30 plan that can only be activated on new sim card and its now a limited time offer, on may 2 2013 they are discontinuing it.

So if any one wants to switch now is the time.

If I'm not mistaken, the $30 plan is only available for new activations only. And if you have it, go to another plan and try to switch back, you can't.

I don't think that means they are discontinuing the $30 plan on 5/2. It means that your current plan cycle runs through 5/1 so any changes you make to your own personal plan will go into effect on 5/2.

They are also warning you that if you switch away from the $30 plan you won't be able to switch back, which has always been the case.
 
I have a question about the $30 1500 talk/text plan 30MB data

After you go over 30MB data, do they cut you off, or throttle speeds?

If you are interested in that plan, I think I'd suggest something like Lyca Mobile. They currently have Unlimited Talk with 100 MB high speed data (2G speeds after 100 MB) on the T-Mobile network for $29/month. Their other plan that looks interesting, for people who don't have a lot of usage, is 2 cents/minute talk, 4 cents per outgoing texts (incoming texts are free), and 6 cents per MB of 4G data.
