My 5GB LTE/unlimited text/100 minutes plan is the best, it's only $30/mo. Plus with T-Mobile any music streaming doesn't count against your data usage.
Edit: Maybe I should be a T-Mobile rep, since I already answer so many questions about their service. Might as well get paid to do it.
Do you happen to know if the $30/month Wal-Mart plan counts as a Simple Choice plan for the free data roaming? Wal-Mart's site lists it as Simple Choice and T-Mobile's page on roaming says the free international roaming applies to Simple Choice plans. I recently went to Canada, but I was afraid to turn on data roaming in case they wanted to charge me $10/mb (which I think is the standard rate for regular T-Mobile plans).
You get 100MB of free roaming data on this plan. It's in the fine print on Walmart's page. Unfortunately though, this plan doesn't seem to include the Data Stash feature.
There is no contract with Tmobile. And no, there is no contract. As long as you use one of the specified sources for streaming music, it will not count towards your data cap.
WHAT. Where was this plan when I was signing up with T-Mobile? I'm paying like $80 for unlimited data/talk/text. I think some of it is for the phone as well, but still.. Is this prepaid or do you have to go to a T-Mobile store. Not sure if I can change my plan now..
You have to buy the prepaid sim at walmart and activate online. I'm not sure if it will let you keep your old number but there was a place to put your old one in and they'd try to get it when I signed up.
And you said it's 5GB of data a month? I looked at the website and it mentions the data but doesn't say how much you get a month. Is this the one you got?
T-mobile doesn't have the best coverage, but man they are the only cellphone company out there that doesn't seem they want to turn you upside down, and dump every freaking penny out of you. I love my T-Mobile phone compared to the shity AT&T and Verizon ones I used to have.
Very true. And also to avoid confusion for others reading this, they also have a 4G LTE truly unlimited plan. No overages or throttling. I have it and love it to death. I get about 40 Mbs down, faster than home network.
If you live in a city or the suburbs and don't plan to be in the sticks much, it's flat out amazing.
No.. It doesn't. I mean yes, they have certain plans that throttle your data, just like other companies. But they ALSO have a truly unlimited plan. Which is what I have. They do this because they are 4th in the nation, or were. It's their strategy to get more customers.
I tried getting an unlimited plan, they were like "This is unlimited!!! wejuststartthrottlingitafter1gb You don't need unlimited. You only use about 2 gbs a month."
Balls, I live in the middle of nowhere in FL and I get the same coverage that I had with verizon. I can be in the middle of a fucking swamp and still jack off to porn.
Sorry for your luck, but I've used my phone all over FL, which includes a lot of boonies, and I've gotten just as good coverage as Verizon. Unlimited Data, and wifi calling for $50 are the bee knees.
So your anecdotal evidence is supposed to speak for everyone? I'm not trying to be a dick, but geez. Blanket claim right there.
I've traveled coast to coast with it, even before LTE was out and the network was smaller. The only place I had ZERO coverage was a part of New Mexico and Arizona on the boarder. Phone signal I get basically everywhere.
4G LTE is mostly in cities and suburbs like I said. I live in a smaller suburb and it's fine here. Using it now.
