I'm on some Walmart T-Mobile plan. I heard about the plan after getting my Nexus 4 so went to a local T-Mobile store and asked them if they could give it to me as a new customer and they did.

$30 monthly, 100 minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited data with the first 5 GB at 4G speeds.

I mean the 100 minutes bit is a bit nasty as all minutes are rounded up so even a 1 second incoming call I pick up counts against a whole minute. I rarely go over the limit though and usually just throw an extra $10 in the account to deal with it if I go over.

My fiance has the same plan and uses her tethering for her Apple TV Projector setup in the art class she teaches since her school wifi is pretty bad. You get a small amount of free tethering with the plan but it's only $15 for unlimited tethering in addition.



This is (or was) available to anyone signing up online (I bought my Nexus 4 from the Play store and then signed up for it about a year ago).


You can't get it directly from tmo any more, but you can get it from Walmart http://see.walmart.com/t-mobile/ (jump to plans)


No? It's still advertised by T-Mobile, same page it's always been on (halfway down): http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans

It should be in the plan list when you activate a SIM at http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-activate. It was never advertised available in-store, only online.


I was just on the T-Mobile website earlier today, it's still there, but it's not at all convenient to get to.
