Not saying that Tmobile is up to AT&T's or verizons level but they are much better than Sprint and some other regional carriers.
I will agree with you for their HSPA+ network that it is better than Sprint's. But if you look at T-mobile's 1900 Mhz 3G coverage it is a sham. They say it covers 100 million population and 23 cities. In reality it is a spotty network of sparse 3 G towers with signals so weak that the coverage falls to Edge inside buildings. While CTO Neville Ray is quick to compare with Sprint and AT&T the reality is that he refuses to provide a 3G coverage map. T-mobile can only get iPhone customers by deceit. Having used the iPhone 5 and retired it, Know what a shoddy 3G network T-mobile has. Apple should refuse to partner with T-mobile if it wants to maintain spoiling its name due to shoddy coverage by T-mobile.
I can't find this plan on their website. Is it something that's coming soon or?
I was in the same situation 30 mins ago when I decided to chat a tmobile rep. He said this offer is only available at walmart or other retail stores. you have to go buy the activation kit.

so I have straightalk, and I am thinking to switching to this plan. Do you guys think its worth it or will I suffer poor call/internet speeds in florida. and will i get the 4g or 3g on my unlocked iphone 4.
thanks
What about Straighttalk at Wallymart... $45/month for unlimited everything...
4G
AT & T or TMobile compatible phones (same network)
I have been a T-Mobile iPhone user for about a three years now..at first i had to deal with the terrible speed of EDGE since the iPhone is not built to run on T-Mobile's network..about two months ago i was finally able to get 3G on my iPhone 5 thanks to T-Mobile's attempt to upgrade their network to be able to drag more iPhone users to join their network...I'll admit at first i was really excited about this but after two weeks of 3G coming in and out, weak signal, dropping calls i finally said i've had enough, my iPhone would drop from 3G to EDGE at random times and even go NO SERVICE!!!...so I cancelled my T-Mobile service last friday and got AT&T and i can honestly say its one of the best decision i have made..LTE is a whole different ball game! there's no point on having an iPhone unless you have the speeds to go with it!!!!
out of curiosity, does this 30 buck plan feathure tethering? thnx

It says new activations only. Does that mean I have to buy a phone too or is this kit enough? And it's probably not nano-sim anyway?
The only reason I put up with the 2g speeds is because of the $30 monthly fee. Is it worth it to me to pay an additional $60-$70 more per month to get LTE speeds? No it's not.
I am hoping that the refarming process will be done here in the Raleigh area within the next few months. In early November, it was done in the Crabtree Valley area and I got some really fast speeds on my iPhone 5. Lately though it's back to EDGE in that same area. Maybe they were just doing some testing.
I hear you.
They're nowhere near ready for the iphone. It will be a 2G edge festival with most iphone users.
Maybe within a year or so but by then Verizon and AT&T would have LTE everywhere while they're still catching up to refarmed their 3G.
