T-Mobile.com / Walmart: Prepaid $30/month - Unlim Text, 5GB Data*, 100 Voice Mins (New Activation Only)

To get you both to shut up and actually post something that is helpful to people..yeah, like I orginally said, YMMV porting a number to this plan. As in, go ahead and try, and if the folks at Tmo are dicks and don't let you, take your business elsewhere.

Ratko just ignore shhaggy. He is right in a sense, but is a stickler for the rules. It is a YMMV as you said, and while not official T-Mobile policy, CSRs would rather retain a customer than lose it over plan swaps. This is not uncommon for any cellular carrier as it may just show an appreciation of loyalty or to reduce churn rate.

And he is correct that porting is only really meant when you switch from one provider to another. It's not really "porting" if you're switching within the same company and transferring from postpaid to prepaid. That's just plan swapping at most.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with calling and asking on whether they may say yes or no on the situation.

Now stop arguing about it you guys.

I had SERO with Sprint for 6 years til they kicked me off and terminated my account on me. Paid $57.xx per month total for supposedly unlimited everything until Sprint decided I was roaming too much and shut off my phone with no warning.

For $30 per month this plan is great aside from the 100 minutes limitation. Groove IP seems to work ok on wifi or 4g as long as Im not driving.

You guys know what i mean and he meant the same thing if you read closely...he's just trying to be one of those "smart guys" and he is never wrong of course. Im done here have a great day

Actually, what they are saying is spot on.

Just because you personally managed to have the account swapped over does not make it the norm. Otherwise everything could be considered a YMMV situation. For example, if I managed to score a $100 per month credit for my cable service, that doesn't make it a YMMV situation, it's a fluke (or a scam).

T-Mobile hspa+ speeds versus Sprint 3G and 4G ( from left to right respectively )

So happy with my Galaxy Nexus on this plan.
Just installed Roam Control so they can cancel my line ETF free, So long sprint!!!

Quote from Ratko : no its not easier. its easy just to port over from tmobile to tmobile...grrrrrr sure it may vary if you are a pushover type of P word...i tell CS what i want not ask them. ya 30 post newbie telling people what they can and can't do...what a JOKE.

Two year senior judging people based on their postcounts. How lovely. FYI, I've been visiting SD for a couple of years and even got this T-mobile plan back in Nov. after reading this thread.

Congrats to you forcing the CS to do what you wanted. But thats not standard procedure and not all CS reps are the same, you mostly get those that don't want to bend any rules. I just feel it is easier to not go through the hassle of trying to convince the CS to do that and being on the phone for hours and wasting time.
I tried to keep my old T-mobile number from a contract plan and it was just too difficult and even after having to update my number in profiles and accounts for banks and stuff, I wouldn't want to deal with Tmobile CS from India ever again.

Conflicting reports everywhere. When I had my G2x, I only got a max of around 7 mbps.. so I am assumg that it's a 14 mbps phone.

If you really want to keep your postpaid tmobile number you could try this, it may only cost $10 and week of wait.

port to At&T prepaid. Give a few days for number to port fully, then port it back to Tmobile as a new activation.

So is anyone using skype with this? Thinking of switching to this and use the skype app for calls.

I tried this plan for about 4 months with Skype and grooveip but the call quality is inconsistent, sometimes its very good most of the time its not tolerable. 100 mins is too low for me that's why I am thinking about getting the straight talk plan.

Ive been using Groove IP for calls and probably used about 200 mins through it so far. I had some trouble with echoing but I just turned down the mic gain in the settings. Theres the occasional hiccup and a slight delay for when the other person hears me talk but it seems to work fine on wifi, or on 4g as long as Im not driving.

Quote from jmor :

I just went to a tmobile store recently, bought a tmobile prepaid sim with the regular 30$ plan, but cant change the plan to the Walmart 30$ one.
Does it really work if I order the simcard activation kit on tmobile.com? How are they connected to Walmart? How do they know?

Where could I get cheaper refill cards?
