Just an FYI if you're just getting this for the "free" tablet. The tablet is a Galaxy A7 lite which only costs $200 ($129 on Amazon)

They will still lock you to a 2 year EIP even if it's free (They'll make a monthly credit to cover the tablet EIP)

Meaning you'd end up paying $10 for 2 years ($240) for a $129 tablet.

So if you're only doing it for the tablet then it's not worth it
Some people don't live in a house.
Not on the "free" tablet, lol. In all seriousness, don't choose the plan with TE in the title as that one is tax exclusive (you have 2 choices)

soc code ZB10HSTI is the one you want.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank discman017

Thought I would share my experience, in case it helps others.

1. I applied for a business account online yesterday using my business's FEIN. Got a message indicating more information was required to process my credit.
2. I called a couple times to get someone who knew what to do. After about half an hour, he said he had nearly everything complete, but I would still need to go to a store to show my ID.
3. Went to the store this morning and spent about 45 minutes there.
4. They didn't know about the unlimited tablet plan but were able to look it up using the SOC. They found both the TE and TI plans and got me on the TI plan.

My total out the door was $120:
* $30 activation fee, which has already been reimbursed as a credit on my account
* $72 down payment on the tablet
* $18 tax on the full price of the tablet

My monthly bill should be $7, as the $72 down payment should be credited back over 24 months at $3 a month. The other $128 of the tablet price is also amortized over the 24 months. If I were to terminate service before 24 months, I would owe the prorated remainder of that $128.

I've logged into my account online and can see that my plan is "Magenta Bus Tab 10GB Promo". It currently says my monthly fee is $0.00, for some reason. It also says my device is an iPhone 13. Not sure what's going on there. It does also show that a "SAM TAB A7 LITE 32G GRY KIT" is on an installment plan to pay off $128 remaining.

Hopefully the online stuff gets sorted out. I may have to make another phone call, or appearance at the store.

Assuming everything works out correctly in the end, I'm paying $7 a month for 24 months = $168 plus $120 today minus $30 (reimbursement of activation fee) = $258. For $258 total, I get unlimited data service for 24 months and the tablet. If that's not a slick deal, I don't know what is!

Thanks!

What is their motivation to offer these cheap plans to businesses and not consumers? I would think you offer the consumers the cheap plans and jack up the business plans.
Businesses are more likely to buy at a greater scale is my only thought.

I called Tforce Business.
What's the Tforce Business contact phone #? I Can't find it.

Edit, calling that number (800-937-8897) yielded a barely understandable lady who wanted my CC and exp date. Scam.

Local Tmobile store says that the $10 business plan only works if you establish a phone number line as well. That wasn't my understanding of this plan. Do you really need to have a phone # plan active on the business account before doing this $10 deal?
Anyone help w/this?

They're likely to throttle you to 600 kbps , thats why they do when you put a phone SIM in a hotspot device.
This is a data SIM card for tablets. It should be different from the phone sim card

I remember someone mentioned it is possible to change the hotspot settings to make the SIM card "think" it is a tablet. I am not sure how it is done. but If that is possible, then theoretically it should work on the hotspot.

No cost change to the bill, but actually I had 2 tablet lines which I converted to a $10 plan. So it's saving for me. Another benefit is that I am not capped to the 12 phone line limit anymore due to the One Plus promo plan on my personal account.

Thank you. Do you still have kickback discount on your lines?

The closest thing I find on t-mobile website is their marketing preference department : https://www.t-mobile.com/privacy-...ing-choice
And number is even different… 800 937 8997

SIM and tablet arrived. Getting 11.6 down, 1.6 up. Not terribly good. 4G LTE phone sitting next to it gets much faster.

Still, this is during the initial setup and things might be clogging the downloads. I'll check again in a bit.

Thanks for sharing @discman017. I just had a similar experience, but my business support rep mentioned that if I had an iPhone, I would be allowed to finish business verification on the phone instead of in-person at a store, so I opted for it.

Apparently, T-Mobile was not able to verify my phone number on my business account documents that they had access to. The rep was very nice and helpful. I called 1-877-754-6367, in case anyone else needs this number, which is different than what was listed on the "more information is needed to continue processing your credit check page" and different from the business number listed in another post.

- the rep asked me to confirm the EIN, the business address, the email, and the phone number
- I emailed a digital copy of my Articles of Organization (and the IRS EIN letter just in case)
- I used the online tool on my iPhone to scan my photo ID and two selfies needed for verification

The business support rep will follow up with me tomorrow after the verification process. She was knowledgeable about the $10 plan and also found the one with taxes/fees included. I may or may not opt to go for the free tablet, since I am not sure if I really care for the A7, even if I can sell it.

FYI, I'm coming from a Tello $6/month 1GB data/no minutes/free text plan, but it's been quite slow on in my iPad Mini LTE. I've had Tello for almost 2 years, and it's always been slow. This will be a nice upgrade for an extra $1-4/month.

I think like some stores are franchises and not corporate stores so like the people working depend more on commission, maybe they don't get much from just activating tablet line. You can try calling online and getting the plan.

I did it all online, didn't goto any store nor called. I only got the tablet line no voice line. The only issue is that like the plan i got was tax excluded, when i was trying to get tax inclusive plan it wasn't giving me free tablet promo. Also, some people while calling were able to get rep waive the $20 SIM starter kit fee.

I can post images on how to order online if you need more help but yeah, i didn't get voice line. Only got tablet line at $10/month + taxes and the free tablet promo (24 month bill credits)

Curious if anyone signed up for a T-Mobile account recently and started receiving scam email for McAfee? Got a couple of vague emails about a $299 McAfee license charge. Looks like scam to try and get you to call their "support number".

I use the email address with other companies too, but haven't gotten something like this before. Wondering if there's a pattern with recent T-Mobile accounts getting the same spam.
