I am not sure if T-Mobile still offers this service to customers who are not already signed up. It is a great deal - unlimited calls that do not go against your cell minutes for around $11 per month. The HiPort modem requires a SIM card that T-Mobile has to issue to you. You will have to call them to see if you can sign up. I bought this modem as a back-up in case mine wears out.

T-Mobile will not offer the service any more. They only support @home service if you already have it. It was discontinued for new accounts.

This works with T-Mobile service. You have to pay a monthly fee for the AtHome service. Mine is $10 per month.

My understanding is that Tmobile no loner offers the @home service. It is voice over IP using your internet connection and when it was offered it was a separate item that has nothing to do with your cell service.

You have the tmobile at home service that's $10/month, they no longer offer the service. Its been discontinued if you previously signed up for it, all you need is a sim and a router.
273901
Yes. And they no longer offer it. Only existing customers who printing ally signed up for the service continue it now

Yes, you need Tmobile's @home service which costs $10 monthly but I don't believe they offer that anymore, you should check since this item is worthless without it.

Just about anywhere you can get cell phone reception and internet, you can use this.It does require a monthly service plan.

IT's not prepaid you will need to make a deposit on the service, you are not get a landline but more of a cell phone that stays home, but you can take it with you and plug it in anymore and use the phone so long as you have service. the service part i dont know anything about, after calling finding out it was prepaid, and then on top i need to give them a deposit to have a phone i didnt sign up for. sorry if i wasnt any help. :D

You can use it on a normal post-paid shared data-only plan as well, if you like. Either way, get your SIM from Verizon. There's also been a firmware update in the last few months to support the newer Verizon LTE technologies (what's now branded as "XLTE," I believe). In some cases this should get you better or faster performance - partly due to mitigating network congestion.

Yes, get a Consumer Cellular (standard) SIM. Any previously used AT&T; phone or unlocked GSM phones would work

In the package, there should be a number you can call. But the automated service is kinda weird, so you can also go to their website and create a log-in, where you can enter the account number on the back of your device. Then from the My Account page, you can purchase the monthly service. Hope this helps :)

If you keep the same service carrier with active service, they should assist you. If you want to switch carriers, but keep your old number, things get difficult. I hope this helps..

Thank you, but I am not a GoPhone customer - I was wondering about being able to pay that price for a data plan for a non-go phone current at&t; customer.

No, Your basic service will need to have the extras, this is more of a basic phone, I know it look like it would have, but it doesn't. God Bless!

Thanks for the reply. I don't want to pay a monthly fee since I will be using the phone very sparingly over the year.

You would actually need to become a "Jitterbug/GreatCall Customer". We use Verizon's towers so you'd still have the same great coverage....you would just pay your monthly fee to us. Plus, we have no contracts!-Sean from Jitterbug

You say this is the most economical telephone and telephone usage available?? Right now I have two Verizon cell phones operated on a pre-pay basis. Tell me why and where you offer a phone and service more economically.

At the time it was just a boost phone however now most phone carrier's allow you to bring any phone to their service. It should not be a issue. I would check with the service provider prior just in case. though

I have been using the phone with a prepaid monthly plan. (Costs me about $54.) I would call their customer service regarding phone cards. And while this is generally a great phone, Verizon customer service SUCKS in my experience. And on top of that, I was actually told by a Verizon sales clerk at one of their stores that prepaid phones utilize fewer cellular towers, which may explain why my phone has little to no reception in an area, while my husband's T-Mobile prepaid phone was fine.

I have a local regular (mini?) sim card in there now, but it has slots for two sim cards. I'm also using a thumb drive that I load 'time' onto for my internet here in the Philippines. The thumb drive uses a sim card as well, it encases a micro sim card, which I have to insert into the cellphone to receive the load, so long story short, I guess it takes both. Hope that wasn't too confusing!

It's not a prepaid phone. You may add it to your plan. We did without a problem.
