How much is the data plan in the US (from T-Mobile or AT&T) How much is the data plan in the US for the N8 from T-Mobile (or AT&T)?

If you're getting this phone, just pop in the sim and get the $10 unlimited medianet plan from AT&T.; Same exact internet and the IMEI number sent to them is labeled as an unknown phone, so they won't know the difference.

For ATT (as of Nov. 4): $15 for 200MB and $25 for 2GBTo the best of my knowledge, no new customers (or new data plan users) can get the unlimited plan they used to offer.

I agree with A. Mahajan. It is way cheaper to buy an unlocked phone, sign up for the Even More Plus plan and you can STILL choose to pay just $10 for the data plan. Plus with all the WiFi around, unless you are checking our inbox every minute you don't even need a data plan. It is incredulous, people just don't do the math and are blinded by a "subsidized phone" where they end up paying $200 upfront, but then $30 over 2 years. 30*24+200=$920. OK, it the $30s need to be discounted based on some yield curve. But the yields are low enough to not worry about them.

I am not on contract (Even More Plus plan) on T-Mobile, have an unlocked phone and also use their 9.99 UNLIMITED data plan for feature-phones.This works out best ... the Even More Plus plans are way cheaper than the contract plans (because TMob doesn't have to subsidize your phone).

I'm on it right now actually, on the family plan for the past 3 months, with 2 N8s on the $10 unlimited medianet plan. Loving it. =)

Does anyone know if DKDogz54's comment still holds true? I have about a year left on my AT&T; $10 unlimited medianet plan, and am considering the N8 to replace my simply awful Impression. I would hate to do so and suddenly find a new data plan charge on my next bill...

But when you go to AT&T; website they say that the $10 option is only available with unlimited message, which means essentially $30 dollars since you need to pay $20 dollars for the messaging. Right?

Just found out from T mobile-The 9.99 deal is for existing customers, and it requires 2 year contract. Sort of defeat the purpose of buying an unlock phone.

This is true. I have unlimited internet for $15 with ATT. It's 3.5G speed and it's great. i'll be out of the contract in two months so this will be great to go month to month without having to worry about being tied up for another two years and a $375 early termination fee with any other smart phone they charge nowdays.

AT&T; has a $.10 per minute plan, and they tell you how much you used each time you make or receive a call. They have other plans for Gophones but I haven't pursued any of them. At $.10 per minute, you would get 250 minutes. For $25 AT&T; gives you a month to use the time. If you give them $100 up front you get a year to use it up. AT&T; doesn't want you to, but you can put the Sim card in any unlocked phone, even a smart phone. Use the phone with WiFi whenever possible and $100 will last more than a year.

Why are you paying $50 for 5gb? Unlimited data on at&t; is only $15 with the 808.

Hmmm this is an interesting thread. I am in the exact situation as the OP. I am getting conflicting information, so help me out with this:Can I just transfer my sim card to the N8 and use all of it's features without signing up for a data plan? Will T-Mobile be able to detect if my phone is a smart phone if all I do is access the internet through wifi? I don't want anything to change with my plan, money is already tight. Would it really be necessary for me to call Tmobile and request that they not allow any data access? Wouldn't that tip them off to the fact that I bought an unlocked phone?

I'm in AT&T.; I've had this phone about 6 weeks. No data plan & no charges on my billing - but you can only access internet based functions when in a wifi zone. That's just fine with me.

$60 offers data package and may be required for 4G phones. Both offer unlimited text and talk. I would be careful when purchasing from individuals, and suggest you purchase from ATT or retail walk-in stores or businesses.

I don't remember!!. If you have T-Mobile service, talk to the company about it.

It depends on how much do you use it? I use Tmobile Even More Plus Plan. You do not have to make a contract. I have unlimited internet, unlimited text, 500 minutes for $55/month.

You can sign up for an Android Developer's Account through Google for $25, then buy the T-Mobile version for the original $529. (So $554, far better than the $8-900 the sellers here want.) The AT&T; version is MIA at the moment.

Check with the pay-as-you go and go-phone sections of AT&T's website. They are often changing the structures of their plans. Also there are options not listed when trying to order a package online. I use a $25 a month plan with no DATA, and use my home network for DATA related smartphone features. You can call and ask customer service about all available options.

yes, you will be needing a data plan to access GPS if you're not in wifi range. AT&T; has a new prepaid plan for 50US$ 2gb 4G data plans and T-Mobile's got unlimited text,talk 500mb 4G LTE plans.

Hi Tori,I used a T-mobile SIM card with the phone and it worked fine. I have a month to month plan on T-mobile. I think it will work on AT&T;, if you have a sim card because the phone is unlocked. Hope this helps :)

Depends on your carrier; sprint, AT&T; or Verizon.Most charge around $20-30 for 2GB data plan.Verizon is reported to have the best 4G LTE coverage if that makes a difference.And if you already have a phone with your carrier you should be able to add a tablet for relatively cheap.

I have this phone and I do not have a data plan on it. My contract with AT&T; has never had a data plan on it so it was not required for this phone.

Hey,this is PriceAngels.In US, 3G band for AT&T; is 850 MHz, 1900 MHz(WCDMA)3G band for T-mobile is 1700/2100MHz, 1900MHz(WCDMA). For this phone, it supports 850 or 2100MHz. So you can use AT&T; SIM and make sure that they support 3G in 850MHz band in your area by contacting AT&T; service.
