$50 plan

[n4zty]

Ok so been seeing too many people asking the same damn question about how do we know if we are on old grandfathered in $50 plan and what happens when we reach limit. First of all theres no grandfathered in $50 plan all u get is 1gb and thats it so just upgrade to new $50 plan and get yourself 2.5gb . now with that being said the first thing that happens when you reach 90% is you get a txt message from metro saying you have 10% left of your bandwidth.

then once u used it all up you get another txt saying you have used up all your monthly 4g data.

The results might suprise alot of you guys but u dont lose your 4g it just gets really slow around 100-200 kbps down and up around 200-250kbps typical metro 3g speeds.

Well I'm on the fifty and I still got unlimited. I use it non stop. Netflix youtube zenonia 4 non stop. I'm almost at the end of my month and its still at 0%. And still at 2-3 mb

Yea that's weird sometime isn't accurate I got the new 50 dollars plan 4glte and still at 38% even thou I surf alot amount other things. I kinda like that plan and dont really care when I reach the limited, you still got something.

 

[Vakero]

sorry for double-posted but one time I was at the limited and still was getting the same data speed I guess its really or depends in the area you're at.

Does everything count on the new $50 plan?

Uuhh guy? There is a Grandfathered Unlimited $50 plan... For the ones who had it when the plan first came about (YOU LUCKY BASTARDS lol) I used to have it back when I had the samsung galaxy indulge. I LOST it cause i had to do a warranty switch an I didnt have another 4g phone to switch it to at the time so I went back to my rinky dink phone... I was PISSED! I yea i got these text the other day... RIGHT AFTER I PAID MY BILL.... I was like how the hell did i burn up 2.5 gb in three days!?!?!?! Then I realized it... tethering lol. So now im at the 70 plan. I believe some people have the grandfathered plan but dont realize it.

 

[Mexjoker]

Everything counts on the old and new $50 4g plan.

Everything counts on the old and new $50 4g plan.

The 1 gb is for media streaming only. The 2.5GB counts for everything. Trust me I gulp data down like it's nothing and I'm only at 6%. I'm on gee old $50 plan.

[HereticSins]

When did that plan start? I got that plan when the Esteem released and my data doesn't move at all.

Per MetroPCS's website, it is unlimited data (web browsing) on both plans and either 1 Gb or 2.5 GB of streaming data. Web browsing doesn't count against the limit. I've heard some people say that they are still unlimited and I guess I'd have to take their word for it, but I've had my phone since December on the $50 family plan and never changed a thing. It now tells me that I have 1 GB of streaming. If I were to guess, if you are only tethering to read the news on the internet, it wouldn't count against the streaming limit.

This is their current $50 offer on the website:

I use to tether to my computer and watch twitch.tv for hours a day and that ate up my data like crazy. That's the only time I ever got that text about throttling down speeds. Now I only tether when I want to play this old FPS or lightly browse the web, and it doesn't seem to affect my data cap at all.

yea i agree the old 1gb just for surfing but thats not me im a downloader and a streamer lol. and using a modified pandora that gives me unlimted skips lol lets just say i need more bandwidth..

 

[trygunzy]

My 4g is still fast even tho they slowed it down.

 

[Heavyweightgd6]

When did that plan start? I got that plan when the Esteem released and my data doesn't move at all.

I believe it started as soon as metro got 4g. This plan was going on before the esteem even came out. I used to have it back on my samsung galaxy indulge.

Not true in any way seems ur naive about that because if you go to metropcs.com you will see the different plans that are available. the new $50 came into effect i believe last month and its for every state. people that had the old $50 plan can choose to keep it there are minimal advantages or shall we say pros but the cons outweigh it hands down so i chose to be placed on the new $50 since i download alot tether alot and stream alot. The pros about the old $50 plan is that data wont be counted against ur monthly just for surfing or checking ur email things like that but on the new $50 plan everything is counted towards ur data plan even just surfing web pages. but on the new $50 plan we get 2.5 gb instead of 1gb so i can i live with that.
