![]() I tried T-Mobile’s prepaid plan using a SIM card for a month and didn’t have any problems with coverage, but I didn’t stray from major metro areas.ĭon’t forget discounts! The T-Mobile Advantage program has a lot of agreements with various providers to provide 10-15% off their plans. However, in practice it’s all about how the coverage is where you are. It is widely-advertised that T-Mobile has a smaller nationwide coverage footprint than AT&T or Verizon. Unlocked GSM phones also retain their value better if you switch out. This works out for those that are willing to do a little searching and buy a cheap unlocked iPhone or Galaxy Nexus 4 or Samsung Galaxy S3 which are all solid phones with many available for under $300. You can either bring your own phone (BYOP) and use a $10 SIM card, or buy a new phone from them on a payment plan of $20 a month or so. T-Mobile doesn’t provide any upfront subsidies for new phones. If you want more high-speed data for your line, you can pony up $10 more for 2.5 GB of 4G data or $20 for unlimited. Otherwise, just tell them to use the WiFi at home. If you have kids that “need” the ability to check the web for “homework” (aka Facebook or Instagram) all the time, 2G speeds may be enough. I actually think this is a good compromise. After that, you get punted to slower 2G speeds (~100 kbps reportedly) unless you pay for more. ![]() The base plan includes 500 MB of high-speed data for each line (not shared). “Unlimited web” is broken down into 4G “high-speed” HSPA+/LTE data and their slower 2G data networks. ![]() How can this unlimited plan possibly be so cheap?!
