T-Mobile offers their T-Mobile Connect Prepaid Wireless Service Plan w/ Unlimited Talk & Text + 5GB Data for $15/month (plus taxes & fees). Purchase of a SIM Card Starter Kit for $10 (one-time cost) may also be required.

$30/month 100minutes 5GB is terrible.
"without talking to CSR"


Golden comment the idiot MBAs working at all these corporate headquarters haven't figured out the importance yet.
It's a hard cap. But you can easily top it up, if needed. For example, top up by $5 gives you an additional 2GB.
I have been on T-Mobile connect for the last 1 year and it has been great for me.

OP- How much are the taxes for you and which state? I need a line later in July for a family member coming into the states. Is there any reason for me to sign up now? I.e is there any possibility of T-Mobile abruptly ending these plans anytime soon? Or, should I just wait until July to sign up?

Is 5GB a hard cap, or there's slow data afterwards?

The $15 US Mobile plan I see is only $15 if you prepay a YEAR, $180.

It's a phone line. Not supposed to be used in a tablet, although I guess you can try it to see if they catch on.

Seems like the $25 plan has increased from 6.5GB to 8GB now. I wonder if this is finally time for me to switch out of my grandfathered $30 100minutes 5GB plan from 10 years ago LMAO

I usually get the one year prepaid Mint Mobile deal for my old man, and it's about the same price with a soft data cap which I think is good just in case. Any reason this would be a better choice? Thanks everyone.
