T-Mobile $5/month 5GB Data Plan for Grandfathered/Classic Users
Hello everyone,
Recently, some people over at Howardforums on grandfathered/classic plans have discovered that their $20/month 5GB Preferred Android Web data plan was replaced with a $5/month 5GB "Pref Android Web Reduced" data plan. Details are as follows:
-$5/month for 5GB. Throttles after 5GB although some users have reported no throttling at all.
-Only works for Grandfathered and Classic plans, NOT Value plans.
-Get by calling 611 on your T-mobile phone and saying "cancel" at the prompt to reach the retentions/loyalty department.
-Loyalty CSR called it "Bridge to Value Preferred Web" and described it as a way of giving classic plan members a sample of Value cost savings.
-Despite the name, it does not require you to switch to Value at anytime, nor was I forced to extend my contract.
-This reduced data plan is not eligible as a choice for getting an upgraded smartphones. Upgrading a line with the $5 plan will change the line back to the $20 plan. It's not clear whether you add the $5 data plan on a line that has upgraded recently.
-This is not like T-zones/Web2Go in that it WILL work with any Android phone. I don't know about other types of phones.

I don't know if it's worth it, although it would only add 8 months to my contract. I did just upgrade 2 lines around March/November so that could be a reason why these two aren't eligible.

I was told I would qualify for Bridge to Value on the 18th month which would be between this month and next month but then the lady which was not part of loyalty told me they would not be allow to give me the deal because last year they noted on my account that I was eligible to switch to a Value plan for free without needing to pay a termination or migration fee... So for getting a deal I never used I can't get a $30 discount on my 2 data lines for the rest of the contract.. Does not make sense... Guess I'll try to call and actually speak to some one in Loyalty and try again...
Now, in a few months, I'll be positioned to migrate to the value plan, without penalty, if I want.
I'd say that worked out to be a pretty sweet deal for me.

I first called 611 and asked for Loyalty but the machine couldn't figure it out so I first spoke with a regular CSR but after taking care of a few other things on my account got transfer to Loyalty... And walla... Got a great discount... Make sure u call before they print u'r next bill so they can add u'r new data rate to u'r bill or u will have to wait till u'r next bill...
Keep trying folks... It is still being offered by Loyalty...

Is that 500 Text Messages for both lines or just on a single line ??? Right now I have Unlimited Text Messeges $20 but would love to get that down to $3-$5.. 500 should be more then enough....
Also is the -$10 credit for Bridge to Value aka $5 per line on top of the savings on the data.... Was it given to u since u kept u'r $15 tethering data plan... Guess I better call again... Right know this is my price point on 3 lines..
I received a text from T-Mobile and the change immediately showed up on my account (Android app) as "Pref Shadow Web" for $5. It has not changed on the online account yet but I think that will take a little longer. Feels great to shave off 20$ of monthly fixed costs

Will it be a good deal to add this data plan[$5/month/line]? Also, do I need to trap again in to 2 year contract???
I have been with TMo since 2007
