I am on a tmobile 30mb monthly data plan ($30/month). Does my wifi usage count again my 30mb limit? I am on a 30mb monthly data plan ($30/month). Does my wifi usage count again my 30mb limit?

No it would not. The 30mb limit is only used up when you access data using T-mobile's cellular network, not when using your home or office wi-fi.

I have a tmobile $30/ 30 mb plan and its charging me over 1/2 megabyte a day when the phone literally sat on a charger on my local wifi. My account is almost out of its 30 mb plan and I'm not using data at all.What a rip off!

The great thing about the T-Mobile wi-fi: even if you leave on the access to the 3g network, the wi-fi takes precedence. Therefore you will not be charged against your data allotment. Pretty cool.

Can you use Google talk text messaging sms to save min as the plan allows for 1500 min/text?
182666
As long as you are making the Google talk connection over a wi-fi network, it will not count against your min/text allotment. For example, if you use Skype to make calls with your t-mobile phone over wi-fi, your cellular mins will not go down. It all depends on whether the data is transmitted over the cellular network or over a wi-fi connection, whether it's voice, text or web browsing.

I have T-Mobile, but elected not to use subscribe to the 3G T-Mobile network. However it does have WiFi capability, which I have used with my home WiFi.

If you have a network in your house .You can use wifi anytime just connect it to your net work. If you want t mobile's 4g LTE 200mb a month. you have to call T mobile and have them activate your account. They are going to try to sell you a plan .Just tell them no my slate comes with 200mb of t mobile a month. You will buy more data later. Now check your tmobile sim card shouid already be in your slate, mine was installed and activated. I just had to call t mobile to get a account with a phone# activated to it to get 4g LTE.

don't really understand your question. If you are using t mobile, I assume you already have a sim card with a voice and/or data plan. If you only have a voice plan, then you could still use the phone but only to make calls or send text messages. All other features require a data plan ($10/month)

Even though the data plan is 4G i believe the tablet only supports 3G. My S5 on TMO has full 4G LTE bars while the tablet switches between H(2G) and 3G. WiFi seems week as well. Basically I think the internal antennas on these are week in general. Also I had issues getting the 200mb data to work so I contacted TMO and they put me on the 1GB data plan free for the rest of the year. They said it will drop back to 200mb next year.

I have noticed no significant impact on my mobile data plan. Since the app doesn't run all of the time, it will only use data when you want to check the status or run a command. I have used 450kb in the last month.

Yes, it is $30 a month thru Verizon, you have to take it to get the 4G card put in, or that is how I wanted mine to work, needed the hotspot for laptop to work also when not at home, we take both the laptop and tablet, I hope that answered your question.

I use it on TMobile prepaid with no data service, and use only Wi-Fi for data. Works like a charm and saves me a bundle. When I'm traveling, I just go to a coffee shop to check email and news.

pretty sure, yes. I remember being told that even with the $50 "unlimited everything" plan that you still needed a separate data plan for this phone because its not technically a smart phone. But thats only if you want to access internet or use apps that do. If not, then no, it doesnt require one just for typical use. For very minor use, the $25 plan is perfect.

I have the Viewsonic Viewpad7. Don't forget it has both "3G" and WiFi capability. I have a monthly T-mobil sim card/voice-text-data plan @ about $30 per month, (1500 texts/minutes,30 megs data,) and I normally disable the data access, in favor of my Clearwire WiFi plan, again about $30, which is an unlimited plan, and blazing fast in my area. This still allows the phone to operate normally. If I want to data access in a fringe wifi area, I enable the phone data access, use it, then disable it again. This is a great way to control overage costs, and I haven't experienced Clear choking back my connection, as other folks have complained about some of the cellular carriers.

Yes, you can keep a track of how many data you used a monthly you can download an application in the Google store. I recomend you to get the 2.5gb per month , becuase you have an smart phone and smart phones used must of the time data. 500 mb is too little for an smart phone. Good luck

It is still unlimited data. They charge $39.99 for the slower speed & $54.99 for faster speed, but with either, you get unlimited data. I should add that I only did the activation online, not in a store, so stores might have different pricing.

You have the tmobile at home service that's $10/month, they no longer offer the service. Its been discontinued if you previously signed up for it, all you need is a sim and a router.

No I don't my son already has a plan so he just pay $30 a month, but, the down side is, if you have tmobile as your service, your phone won't be able to access the internet or other features unless you have AT&T then you'll have all the features. My son don't use that phone anymore. I hope this helps.

They sell you more data, it seems to go in $10 increments. The data rates are listed at freedompop.com.They push "premium" accounts with monthly charges and more data, but they don't push too hard.I use it only occasionally, when I travel. Every few months, I get a $10 charge, so very much cheaper than $59 every month I used to pay to Verizon.It seems like it works many places I try it - I don't think any cell data plans work everywhere.I am very pleased with it.

I pay a 10.00/mo data plan regardless whether I use data or not. It's 30.00+ for a newer phone. It's not a fast phone for data but a great phone for a phone and the touch screen works well.

Just pay the monthly fee for the amont of data you use. No connection fee once you buy the device.
