Anyone who sticks in a T-Mobile SIM card (anything- prepaid, postpaid, etc) gets the 200mb free.
I went into a T- Mo store today to see what other options they had for adding more data. I already had the 200mb on prepaid (I am a AT&T customer, who purchased a T-Mobile iPad, registered and got, the 200mb, free!)
They offered me a postpaid plan. Basically it's $10 a month, but then I get a $10 credit. Essentially I have to pay fees at the end of the month. It works out to $1.70 a month if I don't add data. And I get the 200mb a month. The benefit over the prepaid plan is I don't get cut off after I run out of 200mb, I just get downgraded to edge speeds. I can them just go and purchase a data package which gets charged at the end of the month.
Here's the breakdown of add on data packages for my plan:
$1 per hour for unlimited data
$5 per day for 500mb
$10 per week for 1gb
$20 per month for 2.5gb
My plan is called the $10 on-demand plan. But I get a $10 discount every month. So it works out to $1.70 in fees. I just pay the $1.70 + whatever data plan above a add-on for the month.
So if I'm stranded someone without wifi for an hour, I can add the unlimited for $1, verses, I know I needed a day, etc. whatever.
It's pretty awesome and versatile.
They have better options if you know you will use more, but I mainly use wifi, so I don't anticipate I will use more than the occasional $1 here and there. So this is absolutely perfect for me. Plus I love the fact I can use my free 200mb every month, then downgrade to edge speeds (prepaid just cuts out).
This plan also qualifies for their international, so if I go abroad, the plan works for their roaming partners as well.
Honestly, made me fall Iove with T-mo.
I called after I left the store to confirm. This is my plan!
