Too bad I don't have good tmobile coverage here.
But honestly 5gb isnt really enough for me. All these plans seem to only be 5gb without throttling, I'd need around 8gb and that's never offered.

T-Mobile said so. Why would you think it wouldn't use your minutes?
I've been with T-Mobile since the 6 launched and unlimited data is so awesome. I'm averaging a gig a day.
That depends on what you do with your data. Excluding music streaming from the monthly data caps cut my counted data usage by more than half. I normally had 3-4 GB counted every month, but after T-Mobile whitelisted major music streaming sites, I now only have 1-1.5 GB counted against my monthly cap.
How do you get this plan? I've been trying to buy a micro SIM kit for my old iPhone 4 on T-Mobile's site and it forces me to a page where I have to choose a plan. Not surprisingly the $30 is nowhere to be seen.
You can buy it from Walmart.
Just the SIM? I don't want the phone.. I already have my own.
You can buy just the sim kit for the $30 plan at Walmart. I believe it comes out to be roughly $32. This is the plan I use with my 5S.
Yeah but you get throttled right?
----------
They can whitelist stuff? That's neato. Is youtube whitelisted? Or HBO go?
Because I assume you aren't actually using their network? Same reason wifi data doesn't desuct from cellular data? Doesn't seem right that you would use wifi, essentially bypassing their towers, yet they still charge you for it.
Maybe I missunderstand "wifi calling"
You're not using their towers, but you're still using their phone network. You have an internet connection to T-mobile and they then complete the call to whoever you are calling. Also if someone calls your T-Mobile number they route the call to you seamlessly. Sure you're using less of their infrastructure but you're still using it. It's essentially putting a microcell in your phone so you have a connection to your carrier even with no cell signal. ATT has microcells but they are stationary, so it might help you at home, but does nothing for you at a friend's house or in a German train station. ATT also charges minutes for using a microcell, even though your call doesn't go to their towers.
Thanks for the clarification! In that case I'd just use one of the many available data only call/video call services
Nope. 100 percent 40mb / sec lte
does anyone have a tmobile $2 a day prepaid sim working in an iphone 6?
any LTE?
thanks
True, but what's the issue with that? Wifi calling is a solution to poor coverage, not meant to give you unlimited minutes for free.
I personally still use other VOIP apps for outgoing calls. But if I get a call or text to my number I don't miss them if I'm in a poor coverage location.
You still need to choose your plan with the amount of service you plan to use. For me the $30 plan works great as I use a lot of data but very few minutes.
This is the same policy as AT&T has if you install a Microcell.....it still uses your minutes unless you pay an additional fee for unlimited Microcell minutes. But the Microcell just works in your house....it doesn't travel everywhere you have wifi....including internationally.
But I guess this would only really affect prepaid customers, as most (all?) postpaid plans have unlimited calling.
Nah. That page says it only works up to iPhone 5 but I've activated the plan on a Verizon 5c and it's been fine and there are others using it on the 5s. Does T-Mobile have an online service to move the number to a different SIM? This is an online only plan so it's a possibility CSRs may not be allowed to make any changes to it. If that fails, port the number to Google Voice or something and just sign up for a new account with your unused Nano SIM.iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus (Verizon) are NOT CURRENTLY SUPPORTED on this plan.
I have this plan on my old iphone 4 and I just bought an iPhone 6 at full price (Verizon) and put the nano sim in from the original BYOD sims T-Mobile sent me (the iPhone 4 uses the bigger sized sim, therefore still had the nano sim). Called T-mobile to have my $30 plan switched to the new sim/phone and they would not do it and they would not say it was because it was an iPhone 6.
However after looking at the check for your device to order a sim page...
http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/sim-card
This plan currently supports all iPhones except the 6/Plus.
and coming from the iPhone 4 I cannot simply swap a same-sized sim.
the small print on the page currently says this:
Not all iPhones® and iPads are compatible with the T-Mobile network. Only T-Mobile and AT&T iPhones, and Verizon’s & Sprint’s iPhone 5 will work on our network; other iPhones may have limited functionality, including coverage limitations. Capable device required for 4G speeds; capable iPhone may achieve 4G speeds in limited areas.
Anyone have any suggestions?
I've ported this plan across different SIMs before, you simply tell them the old sim is damaged and give them the ID of the nanosim. What specifically did they say? You don't need to mention the phone at all, just a SIM swap.iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus (Verizon) are NOT CURRENTLY SUPPORTED on this plan.
