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

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.

Yep, that is a concern I have too. I guess if it is known what modem is inside the device, there might be a way to send it commands to change the IMEI. I've been looking at 5G options instead though and have fallen down that rabbit hole.
same here as well, let us (me) know if you find a 5G capable hotspot that can be hacked to change the IMEI & TTL.

Not yet, we do not know if there is going to be a way to hack the IMEI on this new hotspot. If you really want to do that, get yourself a T9.

Regarding TMO blacklisting the account, here are some of my thoughts

1. TMO is not so diligent overall. They have not provided a bill for us yet. They must work and finish that first. Also, according to the following post, again they are not as diligent as you may think

https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=154354024&postcount=1218

2. As reported, the IMEI of the TMOHS1 indicates it is a phone, not a hotspot. That is why it worked on TMOHS1 when people tried on it first. Using this plan and sim card on a phone is allowed.

3. The plan includes unlimited high-speed data, using this sim card in TMOHS1 does not incur extra costs for TMO unless you are using a large amount of data each month that may trigger something...

4. Blacklisting people's accounts will cause more manpower for TMO but gain nothing but lose business and revenue.
do you know what is the max speed supported by the T9 or even TMOHS1 for that matter, cannot find this info anywhere.

I tried to get around it without tablet but just couldn't find a way,
for me, tablet must be picked first before the plan options coming up.
i went ahead and did the EIP with the tablet and the $10 magenta business plan (TI),
since tablet's on backorder (4/18-5/02), i am not in hurry,
but tmobile just processing my payment earlier today, so it might be shipped out soon,
i ordered it on 4/01.
my plan is to wait for tablet to arrive, try to chat/call with tmobile to see if they could fix the free tablet credit with my plan, someone posted earlier that it could be done (changed TI plan to TE first, then applied the promo credit, then changed the plan back to TI).
if they couldn't provide me with the free tablet, i'll just return it.
i'll also need to ask them to waive the $20 sim card fee.
only thing too late for me to get is the free HD pass.....

Are they no longer adding that?

I got charged Today also, so I think we'll see shipment soon.

I did it the other way, I got the TE plan and the tablet, which applied the promo correctly. My plan is to call in and tell them I picked the wrong plan and have me switch to the TI plan.

I just tried to open this account but they said they can't create a business/sole proprietor when I also use the same social for a consumer account.
In this case you'll need to use your business' EIN.

I've read through most of the 86 pages or so of this thread but am still a bit unclear. It seems most either call or go to a TMO store to get the offer. I just went through their website and am able to add the tablet as well as the tax-included plan to my cart. The cart shows monthly $10 for the plan plus $8.34 for the tablet and then $5 autopay discount. The tablet discount does not show up and many in this thread say the $5 autopay will not happen.

If I place the order online, does the billing get fixed after the order so that the tablet discount properly gets removed and final cost should be $10 per month? Or does it not work with an online order?
What we know for certain:

1) The tablet credits will show up with a TE account.
2) There is no $5 autopay discount with this plan.

Thanks for the info.

I'm not interested in the tablet, only the plan itself. I'm assuming it's possible to add the plan without agreeing to finance a test for 2 years?
Yes, I went into a store and grabbed two of the TI tablet plans all by themselves... no tablet necessary.

The only reason to hack it would be to disable future firmware upgrades that might fix the TMOHS1 showing up as a phone, if it happens then you will be limited to 10GB of high speed hotspot.

That's correct. Those of us that already have it on our plans look like we're going to be grandfathered in on the free HD passes.

TBH - even WITHOUT the HD Pass, this plan is STILL a fine deal!

Yes, you can use USB tethering from TMOHS1 to a wireless router. If you use the wifi from TMOHS1, your data will be limited to 10GB as reported here already
