Rarely talk over smartphone? Don’t
like the idea of some providers offer? And don’t want to pay a lot of money per
month but still want to have plenty of data? T-Mobile has the plan that you
might have been waiting for, if you know where to find the plan.
T-Mobile has a plan that offers
5GB of 4G data, unlimited SMS, and 100 minutes of talk time, for only $30 per
month you can have all of those services. According to CNET’S report, this is
the cheapest prepaid plan from any of the major U.S carriers. While some plans
that have been made by other providers as well as Verizon’s pay-as-you-go which
starts at $60 for only 500MB of data, $70 to get you to 2GB, the ST&T’s
prepaid plan that includes 1GB of data with the price of $65 per month, and
Sprint’s pay-as-you-go-plan which offers unlimited data with the price of $70,
T-Mobile has a breakthrough with its newest plan of smartphone services.
Regarding to the plan made by
T-Mobile, it is not listed on its official web site, it is not because the
search was not completely done, but according to CNET’s reporter, a few weeks
ago after getting the news of T-Mobile’s plan, the reporter tried to check it
on T-Mobile’s “Bring Your Own Phone” page but he got no prepaid option there.
If you do a search for T-Mobile’s prepaid plan, you will be redirected to its
prepaid site. The home page of the site shows you the impression that plans
begin at $50 per month for 500MB of 4G data. Even so, if you check for the page
listing all prepaid plans, then scroll down to the bottom; you will discover
the magical $30 option.
On the site, if you want to use
the plan as your smartphone data services, you have to either order a SIM card
for your phone, which will cost $10, or buy a new phone instead. You will also
find a small notation if the plan is prevailed only for new activation.
However, the speed of T-Mobile’s
plan is fairly decent, and if your device is Nexus 4, this plan can be used to
share connection with your laptop and it can work fine. When we come back to
the term of “new activation only”, this could mean that you cannot switch to
this plan from anything you’re on now, it might also mean that if you want to
activate a new line of service, T-Mobile might not let you port your previous
number to the new line.
I think there are many different
smartphone plans that could fit to your needs. Whether the T-Mobile is good or
not, we cannot generally make the conclusion as it has a plus on its connection
service and also cheap price, while other weaknesses still found.
