t mobile no contract plan?

Looking into going on a no contract plan with tmobile. Mainly to be able to use the 4g services and tether with it alittle at home.
Either one of the following, both unlimited text & data
500 min, data, text @$59.99
1000 min, data, text @69.99
Was told two different things about applying a discount of 15%/month from an employer. One rep told me that I could do so, and another at a different store over the phone told me it wouldn't work. Does anyone know the answer to this, any tmobile reps? Looking to possibly make switch over by end of the week, but work is too busy to get up to the store.
Currently unlock on local carrier and I have strong coverage throughout the area, typically average around 2.3-3.2 mbps download speed, and .8-1.5 up.
500 min, unlimited text/data @55 with taxes.

I work for T-Mobile and I have heard the same thing honestly some people told me you can some told me you cant but I have only ever applied them to a contracted plan never a no contracted. I would say I have heard yes you can more then no you cant but the reason I heard for no is the same one over and over, no contracted plans are already discounted no more discounts can be applied.

will give it a try hopefully this weekend, probably just get a temporary number for a day or so and test the service out. Rep seemed pretty confident he could apply the discount, if no I still may consider tmobile. If service isn't solid at home then Ill probably just stick with what I have

No-contract plan
I get an employer discount of 10% on my no-contract plan (minutes + unlimited data)

What about student discount, anyone using one for no contract

You will not receive a discount on even more +. Hope this helps.

tmobile ? or ???
Okay went ahead and called another store samething I could apply my discount to the no contract plan.....
Called customer care about a discount through my former university and was told I had to be an employee,asked her what do you need to verify that by and its just an email. So I can use my old email to set up a discount ONLY on a contract plan. Good 20 minute conversation with this rep. VERY VERY helpful. I will not be able to use ANY discount on a NO CONTRACT plan . Although the reps at the store told me otherwise. May just test it out to see if itll work or not.
Would like to get some faster 3g-4g speeds since I'm tethering with the phone. Options I'm considering currently, with carriers......all text/data unlimited
CBW (local)....500 min text/data @$55 with tax 3g only for now??? 4g no clue when, roam onto tmobile 4g & at&t when out of coverage
Tmobile (no tax yet)
even more NO contract.... 500min text/data $59.99
1000min text/data $69.99
2 year contract 15%discount 1500min text/data $67.99
what phone to get or wait a month or so for new one???
Sprint for the evo (2 year) 22%
450min text/data $64.59 plus
Verizon (2 year) 23%
450min text/data $53.89 plus tax.... 3g only though
Leaning towards to tmobile still for the 1500 min with contract, although I still want to try discount with no contract. See if itll get by or something

Could get another phone with 2 year contract with tmobile and sell one.
Costco deals
g2 or mytouch 4g both at $99.99 with 2 year plan. Have possible trade of my current mytouch 4g for a nexus s.

All the student discount gets you is waived activation fee on the no contract plans. Trust me I know

Yes, but can say I'm an employee of university to get discount for contract

T-Mobile has new prepaid mbb plans that are decently priced. I've used the Huawei Sonic 4G wifi hotspot and it's worked well.

Those t mobile hotspots are very confusing.
Only differentiating factor I found in those 42mbps router is
1) it's bit bulky due to bigger battery.
2) it has pink t on front and older has white t.
As I am shopping for this hotspots,any place you recommend to get it good price without contract?

T-Mobile only has one mobile hotspot that supports 42mps for now. I would check craigslist, ebay, or amazon if you're looking to get one less than retail.

Thanks.
Searching in amazon.

I work for t-mobile. The sonic is the best one we carry. We offer plenty of no contract/prepaid plans but if you're gonna do a contract service, the value plan for 5gb is pretty good. If she has a t-mobile phone with the Mifi on the plan, everything could be under $100/month
$60 for Unl Talk and text with 2gb of data for her phone
$29.99 for the 5 gb mifi
$5 for the EIP on her MIFI for 20 months
$95 + tax on contract service for both. Great deal
I Think its 124.99 or 74.99 for the MiFi and you get a 25 dollar mail in rebate to go with that
Thats the plan I would go with, and theres no overages so unless she has any international calls or somehow finds a dead zone and roams, 95 + tax is all she will pay. And depending on where she works, she can get up to 15% off for a corporate discount.
Hope this helps ! :good:

Cheap US Prepaid Pay as you go/by minutes?

Hi, i'm travelling to the states in a week for about a month from canada and was wondering if anyone can link me with a cheap prepaid pay by minute plan. I am travelling most big cities like washington, vegas, sans etc and need service throughout.
What i currently have with my canadian provider is if im roaming in us, it will be .20c/minute outgoing in states, .20c incoming in states, and with a $5 addon it will go down to .10 per minute.
Im looking for something that is comparable to what i have and cheaper, including cost of microsim. Im using my nexus 4 so most provider will work. Text could be extra if its cheap, i get .15c/text out and free in currently with my sp. and Data could also be an extra if it have fair rates (currently mine will be $1/mb in states and with addon .50/mb)
I am not looking for too much minutes like 300+, anything below that will work. and also i prefer if its not prepaid by the day or month.
thanks in advance

Since you're staying for about a month, I think it would be cheaper if you get a prepaid by month plan from T-mobile. For example the $30 1500mins + text 30mb web. After that you can just deactivate it. You can check the prepaid plans here http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans
I am not sure about the coverage though.
Edit: you can get the micro sim online from tmobile for $0.99 if you use promo code 99SIM

AT&T $100 offer invalid for LTE N7

I tried to take advantage of it and for the offer to be valid you need a 2 year contract which can only be done when purchasing device from AT&T which they will never sell this device.

I walked into an AT&T store and they offered this plan. They said it had nothing to do with the device, it would work on any 2 year contract.
They offered me their Mobile Share plan, with steep discounts, e.g. corporate, new account, etc. There is about 10% extra taxes and fees on any Mobile Share plan, but prepaid is flat rate (prepaid $30 plan is exactly $30). I still turned it down because AT&T does not offer tethering with their tablet data only plans, in my opinion they dropped the ball with Google by disabling tethering. We should not have to hack our Framework-foo.apk to re-enable tethering on an AT&T data plan. I told them I was using T-Mobile and tethering instead.
The advantage of Mobile Share is higher priority on towers in congested areas. The disadvantage is higher cost over prepaid for similar data amount. Plus I have not read about anybody that activated a DataConnect prepaid or Mobile Share using the correct IMEI with resulting LTE service. I choose not to believe it (LTE) service until I see it. Yet you can go in the store and they will hack your IMEI (with false value or false account info) to enable LTE service. In my opinion this unprofessional behavior is not *optimal* (LOL).
AT&T has lots of issues with the new Nexus 7 4G/LTE but I think the $100 discount is not an issue - if you are willing to walk into an AT&T store. Good luck.

I did. Already have mobile share plan. Wasn't starting one.

On Google Play it states: "Special Offer from AT&T: Through December 31, 2013 receive a $100 AT&T bill credit by signing a 2 year service agreement on qualified postpaid standalone or Mobile Share plans. Activate on device, visit an AT&T store or call 1-800-908-9859 to take advantage of this offer.*
I'm not sure what is "postpaid standalone" plan, unless they mean Individual Plan, e.g. this link. But, comparing Individual to Shared you get 1GB less on same data limit as Mobile Share.
Bad deal for you already on Mobile Share. So $100 credit on Individual Plan loses you 1GB ($10) per month for 24 months. The $100 credit costs $10 * 24 = $240 dollars. This type of *credit offer* is only possible with AT&T. Plus no tethering enforced by Google, unlike the competition.
But, I think the AT&T store manager has some flexibility. One offered me ~20% discount on service, which is still a bad deal unless its a ~20% discount on your entire bill. Really sounds like a bad deal, especially without tethering, so I walked out of AT&T.
Thanks for the info. I understand.
Update:
Thanks da_ferreira for the info below. Great explanation.
I realize if you are simply adding the tablet to an existing MobileShare plan with data there is a $10/month AT&T fee. So, for a 2 year contract ($240 commitment) you will get a $100 credit. Better than nothing, since AT&T charges an extra fee to use additional devices on the same data plan. Most people will agree using a tablet with its own SIM is better than tethering a wi-fi tablet, or similar configuration. My friends had problems with AT&T cable billing, so I hope the AT&T wireless people follow through with your $200 credit.
The $100 credit is a good deal "if you have the extra data" available on an existing MobileShare plan. If you need to purchase additional data it really takes some thought. The options are expanding an existing data plan or buying it directly. If you are buying it directly on an Individual Plan you might be losing 1GB ($10) per month for a 2 year contract, as compared to MobileShare rates.
I did not have existing MobileShare so the Individual Plan was a bad deal for me.

Hmmm...
FWIW, I went to an AT&T store to get my SIM and add the Nexus to an existing MobileShare plan. At the same time, we replaced my wife's Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 with another Nexus and got the SIM for that (same MobileShare plan). The Samsung tablet was not on any contract.
The store waived activation on my device, signed my device up on the MobileShare plan for $10 per month (4 phones and 1 tablet share 20 gig per month on the plan - well, now 2 tablets) and gave us the SIM for my wife's Nexus. When we walked out, agreeing to 2 year contracts on both tablets and taking home $200 in credits. Yeah, it takes 60 days for the credit to appear, but in December I should have a tiny bill.
For me, this was a good deal. Maybe not for all, but since I hate tethering, it solves all my problems.

aio wireless plans now cheaper

Aio just lowered the price in their plans and upped the data. You also get a $5 discount for having auto pay. I'm seriously considering this since they are owned by att. I hope no one has had problems with apns and MMS.
$40 500mb
$50 2.5gb
$60 5b

$5 off each if you use auto-pay. So $45/mo with taxes for 2.5GB. Not a bad deal.

That's pretty good even though you are throttled to 8Mbs.
I'd consider AIO if T-Mobile's 100min/5GB prepaid plan is discontinued, although I heard rumors that AT&T was planning on rolling AIO into Cricket.

Just switched to this from T-Mobile $30 plan. The slower speeds are barely noticeable as now instead of seeing Edge at times I'm always on LTE. 5-8Mbps is plenty fast for most activities. So far, I'm very pleased with this plan and the setup was quick and easy.
If anyone was interested in switching to AIO Wireless, shoot me a private message with your First Name, Last Name, and Email address you're signing up with and I'll get a referral code from AIO Wireless' website emailed to you. It'll give you $25 credit if you keep the plan for 60 days.
I went with the 2.5GB plan. Ends up being $5/mo with auto-pay rolling. Also nice going from 100 minutes to unlimited voice minutes.
