Hi, I will be off contract with T-Mo in a few days, July 1, 2013. I presently have the unlimited talk/text/Internet plan (with 2 GB high speed Internet allowance) for $79 a month plus taxes. I have a rooted HTC Sensation 4G that I want to keep using for now, I don't want the expense of a new phone and/or contract. With taxes and 2 add-ons (warranty and phone finder) at $4 each, bill coming to $96 a month. I want to shave as much off my bill as possible keeping unlimited talk and text and at least 2 GB high speed Internet, but 3 or 5 GB would be ideal, as I now monitor a home security camera/DVR system with my phone, and I'm not always around wi-fi. Included tethering would be nice, but I know all plans don't have it, and my phone is rooted, so I can tether when I need, which may be once or twice a month, but would rather do it "legally" if included.
I know there is a new T-Mo offering called "Go Smart Mobile", but I hear you only have access to T-Mo's towers, no roaming on other networks, and no tethering offered and I hear it doesn't work rooted either. Also that service may be EDGE or "mobile web" only? I also hear there's other cheaper secondary carriers that contract with T-Mo. Any advice to give me? Any discounted AT&T plans my phone and criteria would be compatible with, since I'm asking. I don't want to compromise coverage. Thanks much.
