Go here and log into your account: https://my.t-mobile.com/ Click on the Plans tab at the top. There should be a "Add Data Pass" link under your phone number partway down the page.  You should be presented with a few different options for daily/weekly passes.  Edit: I'm not sure that will work on the actual phone though. T-Mo might shove you through a mobile portal that changes where things are. Maker Of Shoes fucked around with this message at 17:51 on Dec 1, 2014 |

I would recommend porting the number to GV and then signing up with a new number for tmobile dork plan. If you start using google voice on android for calls it only uses data, sounds much better than cellular, and doesn't count towards your minutes. Basically its unlimited minutes. It uses a very small amount of data and when on wifi it doesn't count towards your 5gb at all. I have been very happy with it.

Quick question! I may have access to an ATT iPhone 5 and was wondering what the steps are to make it work on T-Mobile's prepaid bands. I presume I'll need an unlock code from ATT themselves, but what else? Just pop in my current sim? What data bands will be supported? Edit: I'm sure this has been answered many times before, so forgive me! Cursory searching leads me to believe that 3g and possibly HSPA+?

I am also doing this for my mother so I'd like it to be as simple as possible for her, probably going to ultimately port over the numbers to Tmo. Less headaches I have to deal with the better.

So, with the referral promo ending on 12/9, I'm trying get both my lines set up with unlimited data for a year. I got the primary line set up with a referral but when I try to register the 2nd line, it says the "email address has been used." I try to log in with that email address and it says, "no account with that email address"

Okay I have a quick question. I'm currently a T-Mobile customer on one of the old legacy plans. So I'm "on contract." And I just came into possession of a Z3 Compact unlocked smartphone. Basically, I just buy a nano sim from T-Mobile? Stick it in the phone? And then activate it through my online account? So I could walk into a Walmart or wharves and just buy the sim there? Edit: does it matter if the package says "Tablet Nano Sim?" Insane Totoro fucked around with this message at 02:24 on Dec 7, 2014 |

Why don't you just go to a corporate T-Mobile store and get one there? If you're on contract, they should be able to swap it out for free.

So I bought a Note 3 from T-Mobile during the Black Friday 100$ off thing. There are a few folders built into the app tray by default...is there no way I can modify these? Like there's a Google folder with stuff like Chrome and the play store in it, and I'd love to be able to move the Hangouts dialer app in there. Same with wanting to get rid of the T-Mobile one that has a bunch of T-Mo apps I'll never use (save for visual voicemail). I bet I'm stuck unless I want to root or run another launcher, eh?

I cannot. There's room in the folders for sure. I can't even move an app icon out of the folder and into the main tray.

Good timing since I recently added my brother to my plan and we roughly pay $100 for unlimited data and 3GB of tethering for me and 1GB for him. If we switch, my brother may end up paying more for his plan but unlimited data and 5GB of tethering for $50 per line?  My only concern is that if my brother ever decides to leave for another carrier, I doubt I can go back to my current $70 unlimited data with 3GB of tethering and I don't know if I can justify the $10 bump for the additional tethering cap. Especially since T-Mobile doesn't seem to properly measure how much data I'm actually getting through tethering. I've used about 5GB of tethered data over the past month according to my phone yet T-Mobile hasn't counted a single bit against my tethered data allotment. Although that could be because of some unusual settings and setup of my phone (an unlocked Rogers version of the Lumia 920) that inadvertently misreports my tethered data usage. If getting a T-Mobile specific device does fix the issue, though, then I guess I have no choice but to go with the additional tethered data.

Just got the Gear S Watch. Loving it. T-Mobile basically gave it to me for 0% financing through the installment plan. Also, it's only $5/month for service. That's awesome.

Just a heads up, the 4 lines with 10GB is back as well as a new promotion that includes unlimited everything for 2 lines for $100. If you have an existing account you can be changed over to these. The only thing with the unlimited eveything for $100 plan is that any subsequent lines HAVE to be $40/mo and will include everything unlimited as well. You can't pick any lower tiers.

Neat Uncarrier 8 is rollover data* *does not apply to data match on tablets *does not apply to 1GB phone high speed plans *does not apply to 5GB hotspot bits on plans with unlimited 4G phone data Well, I guess all those people on 3GB/5GB plans shared with hotspot will be happy.

FlyingCheese posted:Any chance all these people signing up for unlimited data going to drastically slow down the network? I mean, Sprint did that and look where it got them... T-mobile has been lighting up enough LTE to keep pace thus far and they have unused 700Mhz or AWS spectrum in a lot of major markets that isn't built out yet. As long as they keep investing in infrastructure at the current pace they will keep up with adds for the foreseeable future. Despite its user growth T-Mobile's frequency holdings to subscriber ratio is still very good compared to VZW and ATT, because they're at half the users with almost 3/4 the spectrum.

I just switched to the $50 simple mobile plan from the nerd plan. Now I get to debate switching up a notch. $10 to triple my full speed data and add rollover aint bad. I need to see how much data I end up using.

Reading the FAQ on the data rollover thing... Canny figure out if I can upgrade to a 3GB plan for a month, get my 10GB of roll over data, and downgrade back to my 1GB plan. Edit: looks like that is a negative If you change the amount of 4G LTE data on your plan within 3-21GB, you will not lose any stashed data. For example, if you have 5GB of 4G LTE data on your Simple Choice plan and you move up to 7GB or down to 3GB you will not lose your Data Stash. However, if you change from say 5GB to Unlimited 4G LTE or to 1GB, your stashed data will not be saved.

It's a really clever way of attaching people to a plan, especially with the 10G free. Giving something of value up is hard.
