Has T-Mobile changed its plans? I'm on the $80 unlimited/7gb tether plan. I'm trying to go to something less expensive since I really don't use that much data especially since binge on, but I don't see this plan even available anymore. Is it worth keeping? I probably use between 1-3 gb per month.

Other question - I moved recently and would like to get a new phone number for my SIM card. I'm using Google voice mainly, but I would like to have a local area code on my SIM for various reasons. Is there an easy way to do this?

There is currently a family plan for 2 lines at $80/mo with 6GB Data for each. You could get in on a family plan with someone and cut your bill in half.

Got a link to this? I had to bump my wife's postpaid plan from 2GB to 6GB and it would pretty much be the same (if not less) to put both of us on that plan, as it would to keep me on nerd plan and her on a single-line postpaid.

Does that include all of the regular stuff? Data stash, binge on, etc?

Is this a special deal? The website has the 2 lines/6gb for $110. Also notes LIMITED TIME DEAL: Get 4 phone lines with 6GB of LTE data per line for only $120/mo. That’s $30/line! Only available when you CALL 1-844-222-1848 now!

Some markets had $70 for two lines, 6gb of data with data stash. I think that’s over too though.

I was actually getting ready to switch to this earlier this month, had no idea it was a limited time promotion and missed it.

Is there a difference between the Simply Prepaid Music Unlimited and the Simple Choice Music Freedom? I don't really need Binge On or International Texting. I don't see why I wouldn't get the $40 3gb Simply Prepaid plan over the $50 2gb Simple Choice plan. I use Google Play Music pretty regularly, that's it.

Probably more info in the app tomorrow

As far as I understand, the Tuesdays app will for the moment give you these every week for each line on the account:
Free carryout medium 2-top from Dominos
Free Vudu rental
Free small frosty at Wendy's

And then some/most/all weeks another gift which this week is:
Free warcraft ticket to use 6/10-6/12

A chance to win a big prize (trip, shopping spree, etc)

All have to be redeemed ON Tuesday.

Postpaid account holders can get a full share TMUS stock right away. And get up to 99 more for customers who transfer their number in at least 24 hours after you text them a special link. 2 stocks per referral if your account is >5 years.


The free Gogo is automatic and I believe per flight (maybe per plane?) There may be a validation that it's a live T-Mobile number.

Yeah I was hoping that it was a code that would work for a free movie ticket that we were supposed to use for Warcraft but could use for any film. Oh well, it's still more than AT&T or Verizon ever gave me!

The hysterical thing?

I had insomnia, so I logged in at 5am. Got a couple of things.

I tried logging in now, to see what was still available, and it kicked me out, made me re-register my same phone number, and then said that I had 0 prizes redeemed - and there's none left. I know it's just a sill movie ticket, but there's some sort of tech support for this, right?

If the whole idea to TMob Tuesday is to hammer their servers for a limited supply of freebies, feels like kind of a waste of time.

What's especially great about it is government and (I think) corporate discounts work on it, so you can get up to 15% off on that particular plan.

Can those be applied after the fact? Doubt my company has one but who knows what other affiliations I'm eligible for.

I have a Canadian Samsung phone, unlocked, and using on TMobile USA. I try to get the Tuesdays app and the store won't load it (to a foreign phone). I go to a dekstop browser, Google Play says no compatible devices. Is there any way around this to make it be seen as a native phone with TMobile USA?

SD rentals are 4.99. I used it to watch Zootopia last night via Chromecast, and the quality difference wasn't that noticeable. It's a free movie, so whatever. If you wanna upgrade to HD, it'll cost an additional 50 cent. Not exactly gonna break the bank. Smart marketing on their part, really.
