I just called to switch from 10gb to 15gb to get to the 30......I have to call back tomorrow since it doesn't go live until then and she said it isn't automatic.
Got a tip for us?

its included in all there there data plans, it was on my 10gb plan already so i imagine it is there for the 15gb and up also.
The 40GB plan is coming to $114 with my discount. That's crazy. Can't wait. Will finally have tethering.
Wife and I are on an old family plan with 450,min talk with rollover, unlimited text and data...most likely going to jump to 15gb or 20gb plan. Can you still sell unlimited data plan on ebay and switch it over??
what?? whas is your discount??? Mine is 25% and i dont think i have ever seen one higher than that. Oh, maybe you mean the 20gb plan doubled to 40gb?
I'm tempted to, it would only cost me an extra 20 bucks a month for those extra 20GB.
They want people on the unlimited plan to finally jump ship IMO. And I think a lot of them will, remember with these mobile share plans, tethering is included.
Anyway...this is a sign of things to come most likely. Right now its a limited deal, but within a year watch it will be the norm
The 20gb doubled to 40gb comes to 114. 40GB will be plenty for us for the next 5 years as I will use wifi more also.
Yup giving up my unlimited for this for sure. I work in the field, and have to tether my laptop to a work provided sprint 3g hotspot. My life is going to be so much better cruising on LTE.
Right now we have 5 lines with data plans (4 unlimited). Rough math is that once our contract is over this will come out to around $100 less per month. Only problem is my cheapskate relatives still wanting "free" phones. Once I educate them I think it will be all systems go.
Now the debate is 30, or 40 gb?

If they doubled the 10gb plan to 20 as well I would give up unlimited and merge my mom and I's account with my dads. We would pay roughly the same as we do split up but we would get unlimited minutes which my mom could use, unlimited text which I don't really need, and plenty of data + hotspot.
Same dilemma. That said:
$104 / 30GB = $3.47/GB
$120 / 40GB = $3.00/GB
$120 - $104 = $16 / 10GB = $1.60/GB
How likely is it that they're anticipating that they'll have to enable tethering on the unlimited plans eventually? They offer this plan "temporarily" to entice people to give up unlimited. Then they'll be forced to enable tethering on all plans, screwing the unlimited guys that quit.
Why else would they do it?
