I am able to activate mobile hotspot on my mini with this free T-mo 200MB. No reason that wouldn't work on the new air.
It didn't work for me last night on my iPad 3 (said call T-Mobile) but IS allowing me to turn it on today!
I am able to activate mobile hotspot on my mini with this free T-mo 200MB. No reason that wouldn't work on the new air.
So I'm ordering a sim online right now, they are free.
What happens after the 200mb? How do they charge you if you don't have an account with them. Or how do you buy extra data if you don't have an account?
After the 200mb your data speeds are severely slowed. If you want extra data you are going to have to create an account.
I don't get it: Do you guys really expect TMobile to give you FREE financing AND FREE Data?
It's simple:
-Pay outright for an LTE Tmobile iPad and you'll get 200mb FREE
-Finance through Tmobile for an iPad and if you're not a Tmobile customer you'll pay $10 per month for 200mb.
How else do you expect them to make a profit - or worse you running off with their tablet (yes it's theirs since you're financing).
Stop whining about getting free stuff and just go buy a full price iPad. Simple.

Yes, that's what people expected and I tried with all my might through posts with chats with a TMO specialist about this TWO days ago, and simple business logic (where is TMO's profit), and people kept disregarding it. People were saying things like "I wouldn't listen to a chat specialist, they don't know much", or "I bet $ to donuts it'll be free like Tmobile said". I just sat back and watched what would happen, and well, here we are...
No need to get angry about it when T-Mobile promoted it as free.
And maybe, just maybe, T-Mobile's profit is in the fact that they would have had many users who never would have considered their network upgrading phones over the next two years. Those users stop and say "T-Mobile is pretty good for my iPad, I'm going to upgrade my my next phone away from AT&T/Verizon iPhone."
Exactly.Using common sense I did not expect to get free financing and free data... but their announcement strongly implied that was what they were offering. My only complaint is that T-Mobile was strongly misleading.
T-mobile put out a press release with the following:
"T-Mobile Un-leashes iPad Air Nov. 1 Starting at $0 Down - with Free Data for Life"
"When you buy a product as amazing as iPad, you should be able to connect when and where you want, simply and affordably," said John Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile. "By offering free data for life with incredible upfront pricing, T-Mobile is un-leashing customers to fully enjoy iPad as it was meant to be enjoyed - mobile and connected."

WTF am I supposed to think they wee offering? Yes, it sounded like a fantastic deal. But plenty of companies offer great deals upfront to get customers "in the door". Its not like they were potentially giving away free iPads, jut free financing. Best Buy, furniture stores, etc. have interest free financing on a daily basis.
T-Mobile pulled a bait & switch at worst and had a really poorly worded press release at best. Go out on Google & see how many blogs & mainstream media outlets all reported $0 down/no interest AND 200MB free for life.
So many people cannot be wrong.
The $0 SIM will work just fine. I got them last year and I also got 2 more few days ago.

Yep. Some even offer 0% interest and no payment for the first 6/12/18/24 months. Heck, you can get 0% APR financing on Apple, Amazon and Newegg. Granted, goes up to some insanely high APR after afterwards so you definitely want to may sure you're paid in full before the term is up.WTF am I supposed to think they wee offering?

You're wrong to point. It's only throttled on Post Paid accounts it's cut off on PrePaid.

People were saying things like "I wouldn't listen to a chat specialist, they don't know much", or "I bet $ to donuts it'll be free like Tmobile said". I even made an example of someone getting an ipad on financing and paying it off in, say, 6 months. People really believed that after they paid it off they would still get the free data. What does TMO get after you've paid off your ipad? I just sat back and watched what would happen, and well, here we are...
