Help T-Mobile Total Internet Add-on

[mazmes]

I'm on the " Unlimited Loyalty Plan w/Total Internet Add-on " and just purchased out-write a MT4G phone. During setup I ran into some problems with the phone and ultimately got a CSR to arrange for a new one to be sent out. Going threw the varies levels of customer support it was mentioned at a lower level that I would have to upgrade to what the CSR called a myTouch 4G internet plan for a additional charge. After I got to the upper level CSR my existing internet plan didn't seem to be a problem. Has anyone ever heard of this and if so your input would be appreciated. I'm paying 19.95 for the internet add-on now and would like to avoid a up charge.

You should be grandfathered in at that price. Unless your talking to the Advanced tech support group, your likely talking to morons that don't have a clue.

Years ago, I would use my cell phone as a modem and dial into an ISP. Then T-Mobile began preventing the FSK audio of the modem. I was told that I would need to buy the "Total Internet Add-On" so I could use my PC with my cell phone. Now with the new smart phones, T-Mobile can make more money by limiting the data usage and charging more for extra data. Since the "Total Internet Add-On" package has unlimited data, they want to phase it out. First they created a subset of the package, and called teathering. Then, two months ago, they stopped my PC url access to TCP/IP port 80 (that's the http port) while roaming and tried to sell me teathering to get it back. Now they have stopped port 80 while "in network". Is there anyone else in this class? DontTreadOnMe at venangopa dot org.
