For anyone that isn't currently a T-Mobile subscriber, the test drive service is back and works with the new band 71.

You'll receive a hotspot device to use for 30 days (or up to 30GB of data whichever is first). No strings attached!

If you're having issues with an IMEI error try using an alternate browser.

If you get the "Existing Customer" notice during any step, try making these changes.
- If email is flagged as an Existing Customer, try a different email. If you don't have another email, make a new one on gmail or whatever.
- If address is flagged as an Existing Customer, append your address by adding something that will still get it delivered in your case, apartment #, Suite #, etc. or try a different address, work, neighbor, etc
- If phone number is flagged as an Existing Customer, try a different one. Also, you can get a new number from Google Voice for free.

From the website: "After 30-days or 30GB of data, whichever comes first, you can return the device to any T-Mobile store or pass it on to a friend."

This is a really neat idea. Good on T-Mobile for offering this. I tried them before, but had to get service to test for a month. Coverage was poor so cancelled before month was up. Had to pay for service, but was happy to learn T-Mobile in my area kinda sucked. Now people can try for free. Good on you T-Mobile.
Found this.

You can sign up for T-Mobile Test Drive above — there is no need to visit a store. Then the T-Mobile Test Drive hotspot will be shipped to you for free and your trial will begin when you insert the SIM card into the hotspot device and activate it for the first time on the T-Mobile network.
Consider that I'm paying 115 for 9 lines all unlimited is an insane deal

Try contacting @TmobileHelp on Twitter via DMs. Tell them that, they may be able to fix it from their end.

EDIT: For anyone having issues (such as it saying you're a customer already when you aren't) check out this Reddit post specifically the "helpful comment" part. It has info and a number you can call to have them get you signed up on their end:

"Current T-Mobile for Business, Metro by T-Mobile or customers of T-Mobile partners using the T-Mobile network are not eligible"

So MVNOs are out

does the 30-day period start as soon as the hotspot arrives?

or is there a time limit before I have to activate and start the 30-day trial?

the reason I"m asking is that I want to try this at home as well as the places that I'm visiting in Upstate New York during the first week of October.

Thanks!
