T-Mobile Says It Was Only Kidding About That 1GB Soft Cap On G1 Data Use
from the oh-that? dept
So after a bunch of tech sites pointed out how ridiculous it was that T-Mobile was claiming "unlimited" data plans on the new G1 "Google Android" phone, T-Mobile quickly scrambled to say that they were ditching the 1 gig limit, though they may still replace it with something else (perhaps when tech bloggers aren't paying attention, one would imagine).
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Re: Re: I love T-Mob
I've been using T-Mobile for about four years now and have yet to have any major problems with it. The only real issue I've had with them is that their phone selection used to be less-than-stellar (at least in the US market) but (1) since it's GSM it's nothing that can't be fixed by buying an unlocked phone and (2) that's been changing in the past year or two. Aside from that, it was easy to sign up, the plans are competitive, and they generally come to us when they improve the family plans rather than us having to ask them to upgrade them.
I'm really excited about them being the first provider with Android, too. It seems like just about every mobile provider has their own "exclusive" phone (AT&T has the iPhone, Verizon has the LG Dare, etc). Speaking as a customer, it's kind of nice that T-Mo is getting one of their own, if anything so that I can get my hands on a fancy new gizmo without having to switch providers or do too much searching for one. :)
