Looks like T-Mobile is offering a hidden $10 hotspot plan ($15 before Auto pay). This is for consumer and business accounts. It's for BYOD hotspot devices only and connected laptops (so no phones or tablets). Looks like you will have to contact T-Mobile to get this. There will be a $35 activation fee as well. See the attached flyer and link for more info.

Hello, here are a few more images (attached) and some info regarding the consumer version of this plan.

The SOC code for the plan is MI30TI for taxes included plans (most people) and MI30TE for taxes excluded (those on plans like simple choice that don't include taxes).

I was personally able to sign up for this plan on a new account earlier today via T-Force on twitter (@tmobilehelp). I simply asked for the "Basic Mobile Internet 30GB Plan". I also had a spare SIM card laying around that they were able to activate immediately, and they kindly waived the activation fee (called "DCC" or "Device Connection Charge"). YMMV on if they're able to waive that fee though.

Also, if you ever did the T-Mobile "free trial" that came with the free hotspot to use, that device will technically work for this plan, but you won't have 5G since it's an LTE modem.
-----------------------------------------

I had a question of how to activate this SIM without a hot-spot if it was to be used on a phone - Found this reddit thread as an answer - https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/...&context=3

I believe the $10 per device charge is a device connection charge. BACKGROUND: I had to go to a physical store today because I locked up my online business account last night trying to activate 2 t-mobile SIMs on this plan that I had in my possession for two different hotspots. (I wasn't able to add two plans for the hotspot devices at the same time online. When calling the business care line, the service rep wasn't able to do it either and advised that I needed to go to a physical store.)

At the T-Mobile store, a really good rep helped me who wasn't willing to give up on getting me what I requested, but he had to work with back office T-Mobile rep also. From my experience today, the SOC for this same on a business account is the same as the personal plan except for having a "Z" in front of it, I.e. ZMI30TI. The in store rep said that the buy one get the second at half price will come into effect automatically when the two hotspot plans are purchased at the same time (or perhaps when you purchase a second data only plan within 14 days of purchasing the first plan, but no guarantees). My receipt shows a $10 as a device connection charge (non-discount eligible) with an addition 6% amount for state tax in VA.

I was surprised when I couldn't add this plan online using two SIMs that I already had because I had been able to do so online for the $10 business tablet plans when that plan was available.

Thanks OP!. Repped.. ordered Hotspot and $10 -30 GB plan. See below for detailed steps.

TMO CS : (800) 937-8997. They routed to Sales Team.

Offer/SOC SOC codes:
MI30TI (basic internet hotspot with taxes included) -- Ensure you are getting 30 GB $10 per month with Auto pay.

1. Monthly $10- 30 GB Data plan - With Auto pay. from 12/2 Either DEBIT Card or Bank Acct only qualifies for Auto Pay.

2. CS was kind enough to waived off $35 activation fee. Just state one of your friend got this and recommended TMO and you are now calling. Seems TMO can waive off activation if you have Costco Membership ID , if that works for you. If not just put a kind request , and they may do it too.

3. I placed my sim card in 5G capable phone and it works faster than the HotSpot device.

4. Data in Canada, Mexico & 215 other countries (with reduced speeds allowed). see plan details below. search on TMO website for details.

5. TMO Tuesday are applicable. -- Confirmed . I signed up for TMO Tuesdays. Tip: Try to insert the sim card in a mobile when registering to receive text message.

6. Ordered Franklin T10 Mobile Hotspot device (free with 24 month credits) - Sales tax $5.96(per ur state): Be mindful of the contract and SSN as its credits. ** I wont recommend this and purchase one on eBay or if you want to use on existing 4G/5G hotspot capable mobiles ** (Moved this to #6)


Pro tips:-
1. I won't recommend getting TMO hotspot rather get one from eBay as you don't need to enter 24 month contract for TMO for free device which needs SSN.

2. TMO is expecting the SIM card to be used on iPads etc , so don't mention where you will use it but rather just ask for SIM card and say you are planning to purchase Hotspot from ebay

3. Call on Saturday/Sunday Mornings if possible, CS is mostly doing Activation fee waiver before even we ask, but ensure its taken care of. Tried one on Weekday and they are only ready to give you acct credit, called back on weekend mornings and they waived off.

4. If you get a SIM and dont want to use for short-term or pause , they can hold with $5 monthly hold fee (for 3 months).. May not be a good option as it just save $5 , but there it is. You just don't know when this offer will be taken away.

5. Login to your acct to confirm $10 auto pay. If you see $15 , then you may not be using DEBIT /Bank Acct. Change it to DEBIT/Bank Acct. ALSO , call CS to get $5 waived off. I did the same and it worked for me.

-------------- Below are shown on TMO Acct post setup --------------
Below is plan and extract as shown in my acct post setup

this $10/month plan has Data in Canada, Mexico & 215 other countries (with reduced speeds allowed)?

so it's similar to the old 10gig ZB10HSTI plan except this is 30gigs?

There was no roaming on that plan when I visited canada in April. after I talk to customer support, they said the business plan has international roaming but $15 instead of $10. I haven't had the urge to change the plan since I dont travel outside the US often.

You might want to verify with T-mobile first.
