The SOC code for the plan is MI30TI for taxes included plans (most people) and MI30TE for taxes excluded (those on plans like simple choice that don't include taxes).
I was personally able to sign up for this plan on a new account earlier today via T-Force on twitter (@tmobilehelp). I simply asked for the "Basic Mobile Internet 30GB Plan". I also had a spare SIM card laying around that they were able to activate immediately, and they kindly waived the activation fee (called "DCC" or "Device Connection Charge"). YMMV on if they're able to waive that fee though.
Also, if you ever did the T-Mobile "free trial" that came with the free hotspot to use, that device will technically work for this plan, but you won't have 5G since it's an LTE modem.
-----------------------------------------
I had a question of how to activate this SIM without a hot-spot if it was to be used on a phone - Found this reddit thread as an answer - https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/...&context=3

If they ask you for an IMEI, you can use this link to generate one - https://www.imei.info/imei_generator/

The 30 is for the GB.
I just ordered it myself, sweet deal.
Buy hotspot on ebay for dirt cheap.
looks like there's the Inseego M2000/M3000 and Franklin RG2100 and Quanta
My total cost for the first year will be 12 months x $10 ($120 billed by T-Mobile) less the $25 Costco gift card for a total out of pocket cost of $95.

This reminds of the old days and cheap $5 unlimited "TZones" data plans that was only supposed to work on dumb phones, but also worked on certain smartphones that T-Mo couldn't confirm were Android or iPhones. I used to use it with Windows Phones, Symbians, Palm phones and "obscure" Androids that T-Mo didn't sell (ZTE, Sony, etc.) and apparently didn't recognize as smartphones by IMEI.

Called Tmobile customer support. Mentioned promo of 30GB for $10 on a BYOD set up. Confirmed I have a hotspot (I may or may not, ultimate goal is to get sim card). Customer rep could not find code, I then provide M(mary) I(igloo) - 3 - 0 - T (Tom) I (igloo). It worked!
Thanks OP!
Can I get this and connect a Chromecast to it with a hotspot? I could cancel my home Internet if so.
We use about 15-16GB a month according to my router logs.
You can get around the no voice signal thing by using a voice over the internet service, like Facetime calls, skype, Facebook messenger calling, Google Voice and more.

Any suggestion on whether to buy M2000 vs MiFi X Pro 5G M3000?
