I don't think that's a prepaid plan.
The $30 100 minute/5GB data/unlimited text is prepaid.
I guess you could go on their simple choice plan for a few months then switch to prepaid. You will have to have the phone paid off if you buy one through T-Mobile.
So is it just for families or no...
Please no
Individuals as well.

Do you have to turn in a device to qualify for the ETF reimbursement? Some of the language seems to imply that.

It's great now.
I have coverage all over Atlanta. Mostly LTE.
Nope, that is optional (as I understood it from the conference).

T-Mobile announced that it was the fastest growing cell phone provider in the U.S. Compare that to a year who, where they were losing millions of customers. Quite the turnaround.

you dont have to trade your phone. you get the credit for switching. so you switch, get a new phone, then you could sell your old phone on ebay or something and you're good.
Oh my god ;_;

- $0 down (great credit needed) for Nexus 5, Samsungs, 5s
- $6x a month for unlimited everything
- No contract
- Great service in major areas
- Pay off your ETFs
- Credit for existing phone
I would switch if work didn't pay for my cell phone. What a deal.

You do have to turn in your old phone and port your phone number.
Yes
Since someone asked before:
What are your eligibility requirements?
In order to qualify for this ETF offer, you must be switching from a postpaid plan with AT&T, Sprint or Verizon and port your current numbers to T-Mobile. You would need to trade-in a working mobile phone or tablet and purchase a new device with T-Mobile on a qualifying postpaid Simple Choice plan (you would not be able to sign up for a T-Mobile prepaid or Simple Choice Family Plan with no credit check). All lines must be activated in the same T-Mobile market with the same billing address and area code.
Looks like you can sign up for a prepaid plan?

Lol you have to turn in your current phone. Kind of a rip off.

no, you have to trade in a working phone, not necessarily the phone that you had before. the point is that they can recoup a bit of the costs.
They give you credit for it for a new T-Mobile phone.

Really wish I had renewed my Verizon contract back in October. I'm on monthly now and owe them money. Looks like I'm stuck with them for now.

And you can pay for the new phone in either installments or fully.

He never really answered the question. He just side-stepped them.
They give you money for it.
You theoretically could turn in any phone, but the point is that you have to give them a phone to qualify for this deal.

lol no......give phone get money+ $350 per line
So for example u have 2 lines
2 phones get you 150 each
300 for phones and 700 for etf
Link to get an estimate on your device's value.
The $350 isn't a lump sum. They will pay out whatever your ETF is, UP to $350. So if Verizon charges you $200 for ditching early, Tmo would give you $200.

yes, but given the prevalence of cheap phones (less than $10). it's irrelevant.
Didn't know that, wasn't in the part i quoted. Even if they give you money for the phone you can probably get a lot more just selling it on craigslist especially if its a recent phone. Still better than before i guess.
Lol 284 for a 32GB Iphone 5S....
Most carriers offer such low phone prices is because of the fact that you are on a contract and they know if you terminate early they can still get that value back by charging you. The real rip off is that you expect them to not only pay your ETF but also let you keep the phone you got for practically nothing, even though they said they will at least give some credit towards it.

Then you dont get etf off per line

You just have to present them with the bill. The info on the website says that it may take up to 8 weeks for them to read reimburse you.
It looks like it's reimbursement.
They are probably paying out what the value when you buy it on contract, rather than off. In which case, it is a good deal.
Pay first, reimbursement later.
Probably because of the spectrum T-Mobile is currently on. If they can get the 700 band from Verizon, that should help considerably.
$17.00 for my HTC EVO 4G LTE...yay.
you'll have to pay it and get reimbursed
$138 for my HTC One...nah
Unlimited
Unlimited. Throttled after you pass 5GB of data.
Edit- Actually, I'm thinking of my own plan ($30 monthly).
