Is the data truly unlimited with this plan? I've heard some say you can only use so much data per month.

Yes and no. You are allowed 3 gig of high speed data and after that it throttles back to less than dial up speeds. If you are a heavy data user it's not for you.

I bought a used i545. I did not change my verizon plan. I still have unlimited data. There may be a 50 or 60 gigabyte cap.

I'm using it with Net10, but it may be accessible with other providers. As others have commented, Net10 is excellent. I pay about $50/month for unlimited talk/text/web and haven't had a single problem.

From what I recall from reading the instructions, you are normally limited to 399, but you CAN set it to UNLIMITED another way, if you want more than 399. ;)

If you have the 500mb-per-month "free" plan, NO. If you have selected one of their higher-usage, paid plans of 1 gigabyte of data or more per month , YES.

Yes. That's not a problem. They will include a monthly data fee, if it is not part of your plan already, (for updates) but not enough to use the internet regularly.

It shouldn't matter because u had unlimited data to begin with. It's not like your going right into a data plan

You get what is stated on the website. Ultra mobile recently increased the amount of data every plan get. And yes you get unlimited talk too. I ve been using ultra for 5 months now. Their is really good.

It is against the Terms of Service of most providers to use your device as a hotspot. As a "soft cap" for unlimited data - meaning that they can suspend you if you exceed the amount - Straight Talk uses numbers of 100MB per day or 2GB per month and Net10 recently dropped their AT&T provided service to 1.5GB per month. Neither service is unlimited anymore. Of course, following the TOS will easily keep you from going over that limit. Check section 6 & 7 in the Straight Talk TOS if you aren't sure about what I said. That being said, there are programs available in the Play Store that will allow you to tether non-rooted phones at no charge.

You will be able to do whatever you need. The free 4g is capped to 200Mb per month, but you can still purchase more if you go past it.

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 think with any phone you intend to use for more than making/receiving calls, you have to have a data plan. I have an iPhone now and wouldn't be happy with anything else.

Is Verizon "unlimited" prepaid service for this device really "unlimited" or does it slow down after a few gigs?

I have an MBR95 with the Verizon UML290 USB modem plugged into it and it provides a WI-FI connection for my whole house. My Verizon Droid Maxx, my Sonos internet radio, and my Sony Smart TV all operate off of this WI-FI. How did you get unlimited data from Verizon; they only would allow me 20 Gb and with downloading HD movies to my TV it only takes about 4 movies until I run over my limit.

correct, you have to register the internet and pay for Internet through Verizon. Back in the day when I could get an unlimited data plan for $20 a month it was a pretty good deal but with the direction they're going in it's a pretty big rip off now. Unfortunately I don't know of any alternatives for you. If you have an unlimited data plan on your phone a good computer guy can often sync your phones Bluetooth to your computer so that your computer will run off of your phones internet. that is what I did. Good luck.

It's a wifi only device. So, assuming you have unlimited Internet at home or Starbucks. It's unlimited. If you for some reason have a data limit on your Internet usage, then I suppose you have an issue. Most people, it's unlimited and free.
