It costs you $1 to switch to sidekick or pay by the day. I don't think it costs anything to switch back to pay as you go.

You need to be careful when re-filling as far as I can tell the results differ depending on which plan you are in when you refill. But you can change among these 3 plans at any time.

for those of you with only the unlimited data plan, how much do minutes cost and what do you do about texting? i would like to switch to unlimited data only but i would still want to have virtually unlimited text, i've heard google voice has such an option to text through internet

Yes, so I spend up to $2 a week on switching! I don't know how much longer I can afford this.

Edit: Anyway, I don't think you always get charged the $1.

I have T mobile 10$ unlimited plan and I think it's great for the buck :p. Will this work on another unlocked phone like N900? For example Droid, HTC HD2, etc? Thanks. :)

My wife is using it on a Nexus One.

Nexus One is a droid phone though according to wikipedia, so maybe answer the question without the asshattery because it's been asked about a dozen times in different ways in this thread already.

Well it's obvious you're only here to find out more about the Unlimited Data Plan, we may never hear from you after this. FIY, the n900 running maemo is everyone's knowledge in these forums.

I still would like an answer to the question. So the n900 is not an Andorid phone. To my knowledge the Nexus One is though. Does anyone know what the commonality is between them that allows them to use the $10 plan?

If you think that my expectation of you knowing what n900 runs inside was rude (!!??) then well neva mind.
Yeah n900 runs maemo5, not android .
Also I wouldn't know if there would be anything in the phone that lets it run the $10 plan. I would assume its just sth Tmobile is overlooking. thts all.

1) If you're here for info on phone plans, you'd be better off looking elsewhere (howardforums perhaps?)

2) The reason the N900 (a smartphone) works on TMo's unlimited $10 plan is because TMo doesn't offer the N900 as one of thier phones. You can't use a smartphone that TMo offers on the $10 plan, they'll force you to the more expensive plan.

So the questions you need to ask are: Is the phone offered by TMo and will it work on TMo's frequencies for 3G (if data speed is important).

Could you please tell me the APN settings on her Nexus One. I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
