Deal Details
T-mobile has a hidden plan for 30GB data a month data plan (you get your own sim and need your own device).

I got a cellular modem for $40: https://www.netgear.com/home/mobile-wifi/lte-modems/lm1200/​ [netgear.com] and was able to use it with T-mobile's provided sim card.

Call in or use their online chat to inquire about the "Basic Mobile Internet 30GB plan (SOC: MI30TE or MI30TI)". It is $15/mo but you get a $5/mo discount by using autopay.

If you can't repro then you suck. This also provides you with a phone number for the data account and you get access to t-mobile tuesdays despite it only being a data plan Smilie

I just added two lines. Which hotspot device is recommended - Netgear or Franklin Wireless JEXtream RG2100 or something else?

Also told by t-mobile that auto-pay discount does not apply on select-choice plans? is that true?

Yes, it has international roaming. I told the rep that I run my own business and he set up a business account for me. I can only login via T-Mobile business portal and see the details
Ok so needs a diff account...Not ideal for most but for those who need is a great deal

If T-mobile got *any* service at my house I'd be all over this for backup internet since my wife and I work from home. Unfortunately I get zero bars with them. Hopefully AT&T has a similar service.

I think it is ideal for many individuals who just want an unlimited data line. I use it with Google voice, so I get unlimited voice and text too. I can roam worldwide without worrying about call/text/data overage

For people who did the BOGO50, does it show up on your T-Mobile account online as $15 or $20? Mine shows $20, called the customer support line and they said the discount may not show for 1-2 billing cycles. However, they were not able to confirm if my account had the BOGO50 discount due to how recently it was signed up.

Btw, I have been using this from couple days now on an older device OnePlus 8 and the speeds are not that great especially uploads. Sometimes I get like 9-10mbps down and 1mbps up. I am connected to a 5g network but not getting reliable speed. What might be causing this issue any idea?
probably device related. I'm using it in my S24+ and getting same speeds as post-paid plans

How does it look like on a bad day with deprioritized data? I feel like even with older devices speeds are slow. I was on Verizon, and it was very consistent even with 4G but it had brutal deprioritization.

The business tablet plan allegedly has prioritized data the same level as post paid voice plans. It gets deprioritized only after 50gb of usage.

This is how it shows in account details. Mines shows 15% less due to corp discount added.. You should see 5 and 10 on day 1

My issue is with upload speeds. Just returned from city with excellent connectivity. Download speeds in range of 100-110mbps but uploads speeds struggling at 1mpbs. Is this normal for this business/consumer tablet plan?

No I can easily get 30 to 50 Mbps uploads consistently with my phone on this plan

Not totally related to what you're asking about but I suggest you try to use Facebook Messenger. I'm not sure if you spoke to their offshore customer Support Line.
I applied for this plan through chat / online sales. I specifically asked for the tax included deal and asked about a bogo promotion. No go for the bogo, so I only got one line expecting it to be tax included. When I checked my bill yesterday my plan was the tax excluded one. I used the t-mobile app to chat and ask why my plan was tax excluded when I was promised the tax included one.
I was in line too using Facebook messenger. Basically the customer support on Facebook was able to resolve my issue faster than the customer support in the app AND get me the bogo deal.
Now I have two 30MI-TI lines for $15.00 with autopay taxes included.
