This is great. I was hoping the data charges would be cheaper. The T-mobile $30 prepaid plan gives you unlimited data with the first 5 gigs at LTE speeds. You also get 100 minutes. This works incredibly well for me as I mostly use my phone for data. If I need to make a call, I'll use google hangouts over LTE.



Sure, but TMobile doesn't have the best coverage outside of cities. I have this plan as well, but once I leave NYC and get out to rural Pennsylvania, the coverage is abysmal. Often minimal cell service, let alone data.


$30 for 5 gigs? When did T-Mobile start offering this? Why am I then paying $50 for 2 gigs?


They've offered it for a while I think? It's a pre-paid, look in Other monthly plans. It's pretty hidden, I don't think they want everyone to know about it. Also can be Walmart only, but I think you can do it online just fine. http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans


Ditto, it is a great but not very well known option.
