T-Mobile loving dropped the ball on the iPhone 6 being unlocked. Pisses me of.

What? Are you complaining that it is unlocked, or complaining that you think it isn't?

Isn't Harbor Mobile a better deal? You basically get all the perks of TMobile (music freedom, international data) plus 2.5GB for $30/mo.

Music freedom? Really. You got a source for that?

Can't link directly to it, but there's a section here:

https://www.harbormobile.com/faq/

quote:

Is the T-Mobile #MUSICFREEDOM (no data cap on music streaming) included?
YES!

T-Mobile is setting music free. Stream as much music as you want on your smartphone from top streaming services, including Google Play Music, Pandora, iHeartRadio, iTunes Radio, Rhapsody, Slacker, Spotify, AccuRadio, Black Planet, Grooveshark, Radio Paradise, Rdio and Songza, Milk Music, Xbox Music, SoundCloud, RadioTunes, Digitally Imported, Fit Radio, Fresca Radio, JAZZRADIO, Live365, Mad Genius Radio, radioPup, radio.com, ROCKRADIO and Saavn - and it won�t count towards your 4G LTE data plan. Data charges do not apply!

Please note, that access to the actual music streaming services are NOT included, rather just that the data which they use will not count towards your high speed data allotment of your plan.

International Roaming

quote:

Give me all I need to know about roaming overseas, like can I roam for extended periods of time?
Standard speeds approx. 128 Kbps. No tethering. Not for extended international use; you must reside in the U.S. and primary usage must occur on our U.S. network. Device must register on our U.S. network before international use. Service may be terminated or restricted for excessive roaming or misuse. Texting and data are included in all plans. Voice use is not permitted while roaming internationally over the cellular network.

Blegh. Well thanks for the info. It still seems like it was cheaper back then though, I think I had an AT&T plan that was $70-80 and I never worried about data. Now it seems everyone is charging considerably more for tiered data plans and tacking on extra for the phone.

Oh well, I guess I'll just get a used Nexus on amazon or something and hope it isn't a lemon, then do the 'bring your own phone' option.

Everyone will have their opinion, but this seems like a pretty good deal to me:

Also check out cricket, which is cheap and runs on AT&t's network.

Edit:just reread and saw 13gb data. That's 100% on mobile, or mobile/wifi shared?

Weird question - Is it possible to take advantage of the lower Jump On Demand pricing but pay all up front? I'm on a shared business plan and would like to take advantage of the pricing, but it can't be charged to the bill.

If I buy a used T-Mo iPhone that is fully paid off, can I request an unlock? T-Mo's unlocking website seems to imply that the answer is no (can only be requested by original purchaser/financier), but that seems like BS.
