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.

Just called in to switch plans from TE to TI however unfortunately they are having some sort of system issues and it's not letting them switch it. Supposedly I'll get a call back in the afternoon.

They did confirm the tablet is fine on TE or TI.

I also asked them to add the HD Video pass, I don't have high hopes though I asked.

I had the same issue when they finally got my order through. Let us know, because I'll need to call back to get it changed, too.

There was a code they gave at the verification needed screen. You gave this code and they still didn't know what you ordered? I'm asking because I got the same screen and have not called in yet.

I just called and got transferred twice. Ended up with rep saying I have to go in store to do it.
Yeah, even the person I got to that finally got me sorted out couldn't do anything with that number. Just had to start over from scratch. At least they didn't have to re-run the credit check.

Anyone have a list of ways to get around the 10GB hotspot limit? I know there is the T9 IMEI change trick (to make the T9 look like a tablet); also the HS1 can be rooted & data masked to seem like it's not hotspot (not sure if TMo can detect this or not...). Any other ways?

Thanks!
A few of us on this thread have gone past the 10gb limit by tethering a tablet or cellular hotspot via USB to a Wi-Fi router. Search this thread for "usb tethering" or "usb tether" or "mango router" for a few examples.

How mess up plan ?

They couldn't get the SOC code to work. So they tried changing the plan to Business Tablet plan $65 to see if it would work under that plan. Mind you I told them I didn't want to change the plan they insisted they were just experimenting to see if the code worked. Later after the call I checked to make sure my plan was still the 10GB promo and it was not. I called this morning to have it changed back and it still has not reflected on my account.

I did it all online; I received order confirmation, but when I went online to check my order, the system says it was not found. Is this normal? How long does it take for the system to show it?

It says my tablet was backordered until May(!); would they send the cards first? I wasn't really planning on using the lines for the free tablets and was going to use it for my iPads.

You typed in that EIN at all 3 agencies?
No, I was using my ssn to check. I've never used the EIN for anything. I'll check the EIN if it's possible

Thanks. I do recall reading that - but I don't quite understand how that is working. TMo would still see the IMEI of the hotspot as what is connected to their network - so I don't understand why/how having a router share that signal (downstream) would impact things...

I had same issue with the S22 pre-order, and these tablets. Ordered 3 weeks ago with ship date of April 15-28. They arrived early on Saturday. At no time did my order status show up on my account or by searching order #. Kept saying it took 24-48 hours to show up lol. At least the purchase receipt and EIP agreements etc. do show up under account history.
Got an email when they shipped, which included IMEI's of the tablets and the phone #s they had assigned the new lines etc. And yes sim's shipped with the tablet.

But they were able to do it over the phone? The person I spoke to was adamant it must be done in store.

What number did you call?

You'll receive email when order is shipped with tracking info.
The online order status would not show anything at all.
Sim will be shipped together with tablet sticked outside the tablet box.

I also tried to do it online, but they told me to go to a store. There's one pretty close to home, so I went to the store and they confirmed that they could get me into the $10/ Tablet plan. However, a couple minutes in they told me that my consumer account would have to be converted to a business account and therefore I would loose my 55+ plan, possibly affecting my rates - possibly going up when they convert it. I didn't want to do that, so he suggested I just go with a separate $20/mo tablet plan with unlimited data. I like the unlimited data, but that amount was more that I was willing to pay, so I cancelled my request.

I suppose getting this to work is all very dependent on finding a T-Mobile rep who knows how to work their system and/or has the interest in doing it for you.

I can report success now with the following method, keeping everything intact billing and credit wise:

* Ordered TE plan and Tablet online with credit showing.
* Received and activated the sim/tablet
* Called Business Support and they switched me from TE to TI plan, keeping the tablet credits in place.

Unfortunately they were not able to add the HD Pass, they said I needed a voice line for that. Not sure if I should call back and keep trying. I noticed connected to my VPN that I get full speeds on all streaming sites. Having HD pass would certainly be the cherry on top.
