- mortehu 13y agoWhere's that? I can only find $50, $60 and $70 plans: http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/individual.html http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/individual.html
- danjayh 13y agoThey sell it through wal*mart http://www.walmart.com/ip/Tmobile-30-Wireless-Airtime-Card/15443357 http://www.walmart.com/ip/Tmobile-30-Wireless-Airtime-Card/1...
- hermantoothrot 13y agoIt's listed on this page (about 2/3rds of the way down): http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans I believe you have to buy the SIM card and then go to this page to pick your plan: http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-activate http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-activate
- Crisco 13y agoLook at "Which plan is right for you" on their pre-paid site: http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans

- skelsey 13y agoGo here: http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/sim-card http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/sim-card. Check your device, and once you know which SIM type you need, click the "Add to Cart" under "Phone". I literally just did this, so the timing of this post is nice. Even more nice is that they are waiving the $10 SIM card fee right now. You buy the actual plan after you get the SIM and activate it. I don't know what they charge for activation, if at all.
- mortehu 13y agoSo it's not available to current T-Mobile customers unless you want to change your number, then?
- hayksaakian 13y agoMove your number to Google voice Then you can use your unlimited data for calls (if I'm not mistaken)
- thaumasiotes 13y agoI used switching to that t-mobile plan as an opportunity to set up google voice. At least now I can cover future number changes.
- lotyrin 13y agoPort out to another prepaid, then back in.
- ngokevin 13y agoI wrote about how to get it. http://ngokevin.com/blog/tmobile/ http://ngokevin.com/blog/tmobile/
- maxerickson 13y agoYou have a typo, "100 minutes of text".
- aarkling 13y agoIt's not 4G though... If you want 4G, it's at least $50, $60 or more for more data.
- mattgmg1900 13y agoNot true, I have the $30 plan with a Nexus 5 I bought from the Google Play store. I get 4G LTE speeds no problem.
- oskee80 13y agoI'm on the verge of doing the exact same thing. On that plan are you able to use any of that data for tethering or mobile hotspot? A customer service rep said you can use all of your "up to 5GB" 4G data for tethering if you want, but I found that a little hard to believe.
- socillion 13y agoTethering is not officially allowed, you have to spend another $15/month for it. It's possible to tether anyway, but YMMV - it's through workarounds like using only HTTPS, setting up a VPN, or changing your desktop user agent. http://i.imgur.com/tKZMSAK.png http://i.imgur.com/tKZMSAK.png

- aphexairlines 13y agoUnlimited 2G data. LTE is limited to 5GB per month. I've hit their throttle before, and while it's nice that you don't go dark, it's not for normal use.
- pkulak 13y agoNot many people can use 5GB of data in a month. I'd say "normal" use is nowhere near 5GB.
- girvo 13y ago5Gb on a handset without tethering isn't "normal" use, even with LTE...
- hvidgaard 13y agoIt depends. 1.5 hours of facetime will use ~1gb, and streaming 1 hour of music every day will run at 1gb over the month. Add browsing during commute and you're getting close. It's probably not "normal" in the sense of average, but for the heavy consumer, they will have to moderate their usage.
