Need link for deaf data plan on t-mobile.
 
It's a grandfathered plan. I'm not sure it is offered anymore. It's data only locked at $29.99 unlimited.

There is no deaf plan for T-Mobile. Only ATT, VZ, and Sprint

My friend had purchased new Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Why did t-mobile drop out of deaf data plan? Unfair.

Other friend has t-mobile sidekick and paid 30/mo unlimited. Can switch to iPhone and same price as grandfathered data plan?
 
T-Mobile kicked me out after using them for 5 years on data plan using Sidekick. There was no grandfathered plan. I had to find a new carrier and phone. Glad I did. My phone is much better than Sidekick.
 
I left Tmobile in 2008 so i don't miss this service - it is piece of crap.

I'm not sure if it can be transferred. It still exist only for members who already have it.

They have also discontinued the Sidekick, but may put out another model. If they don't put out another model or even if they don't, I'm guessing they will have to still honor the grandfathered in plan.

You can't add voice to this plan without extra charge, as I understand it.

right now its cheaper at sprint if you have 7 or more freinds in the framily plan at 25 bucks a month for unlimited text, voice and 1 gb data and you get to keep your own bill that no one can see.

Are you saying seven people can share that plan and be billed individually?

Clearly... T-Mobile NEVER had deaf plan at all. There is only unique plan specs for Sidekick that time and then later, offer data plan. It was NEVER design for deaf to attach at all.

It was misled that lot of deaf thought Tmobile was mostly friendly during Sidekick. HUGE misled!
 
If it's really important to have a plan that is called a "deaf" plan than you're free to pay more for one on Verizon or at&t.

Verizon
"These plans are perfect for the deaf or hard of hearing."

Sprint Relay under Sprint
"You must be deaf, hard of hearing or have a speech disability to be eligible for the Sprint Relay Store Data Only Plan."

at&t TAP
"TAP was developed for people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability and/or hearing loss, and was designed with input from the community."

From my knowledge, Tmobile was NEVER have deaf plan at all. As your quote (in bold) statement is not true. And your source was rumor, unless, you provide the confirm BY TMOBILE, not third-party or rumor or unofficial weblog.

Not because of Deaf.

Hearing can use that plan so it was not TRUE Deaf Plan.
 
I don't know about now but yes they did have a "Deaf" plan of data only years ago- I had it for about 5 or 6 years with my SideKick 3. I could have stayed with it but decided to add voice and get the "internet package" and a new phone as the SK3 was starting to crap out anyway. When I first got the SK3 I distinctly remember it was a plan marketed to the deaf with T-Mobile however I cannot remember if it was offered by some other group or through T-Mobile. I don't think I even have that paperwork anymore.

Have been with TMobile off and on since at least 2000... Still debating on switching (as eventually I will need a new phone...); Never had a problem with them service wise for the most part except the time there was a huge outage for at least a week.
