Yeah, I wasn't able to get my G2 to work with $5 data plan but I was able to get the upgraded data plan for $20 instead of $30 by talking to CLD again :P (but I have $5 data plan on my second line with iPhone and the speed is pretty decent, I also have a 15% student discount applied to my account so that would make up for it ) T-Mobile has discount associated with AAA and Universities...!!!
