hey guys, currently I have virgin mobile and i got to keep my $25 a month data/text plan, but i find my self reaching my data cap (2.5GB) after half a month and I get throttled after that. I was able to deal with the old slow speeds of VM but after the data cap I find it too slow to continue with my VM service.
T-Mobile 4G came to my town a around the middle of last year, and as its the next affordable plan ($30) with a 5GB data cap, I figured I'd try it out.
Now onto my question, The $30 a month plan with unlimited text, 5GB data cap (after which I'll be throttled), and 100 minutes is a web exclusive and also available at Walmart. I am not quite sure what that means, do they mean you can buy any phone and activate it on t-mobile.com or do you have to buy the phone from the T-Mobile website or walmart to get that plan.
Amazon sells the Samsung Exhibit II 4G for $130 less than the T-Mo site. If I get it at Best Buy I can save even more Because I have a phone with a Best Buy warranty and I have a dead USB cable (they are dumb and if you say it doesnt work they will try your cable and not theirs, got a free replacement once that way although my phone was slightly defective anyway), so I could have $130 credited to a new phone assuming it works.
If I can get the $30 a month plan that way then I will, even if I have to pay the full price for the phone its still worth it for faster data, a better phone and a higher data cap.
my Optimus V is getting pretty dated in terms of hardware, screen size, speed, etc
