I tried that as my sister borrowed my phone and as soon we placed the SZ card of TMobile , it still asked us to contact the provider which is the T-Mobile. We were not able to use it,I even bought 2 of them.

Yes, it will work just fine with the T-mobile plan. In fact, I got it for my mom to use it on T-mobile as well. It takes standard sim card. Battery life has been good so far. Simple phone to use.

I am not sure about the Gold Rewards plan, but we use T mobile Pay as you go 2$/day plan, pay for only the days used for our daughter. I would call the store location, they seemed to help answer my specific questions on the phone.

Yes! When I purchase this phone I had ceased buying contracts from T-Mobile. I SIMPLY WENT TO THE t sTORE and purchased the SIM card kit. That was it except to a checkout of functionality. I pay an accont with T-Mobile but keep it very low with 3 numbers for the family!

I would call a local t-mobile store and ask. I have a monthly pre-paid plan 1500 minutes or texts for $30. I have an account online and whenever my 30 days or my minutes/text are up I go online and renew by credit card. There is a delay in restarting your plan if you let it completely lapse, which can run from 1-4 hours. Not sure how well that answers your question.

I don't know, but T-Mobile is offering unofficial good deals for someone who is thinking of cancelling. Give T-Mobile a call and check. If you know the provider you are planning to sign up with, I suggest tossing the question to its customer service.Sorry I can't be of specific help.

I bought this phone for my mom, who already had a page plus account, and I was able to activate it for her online through her profile. Wasn't that difficult after figuring out what info you need to activate it... She's had it for almost a year and since then it has frozen up about 2-3 times, but then again that could be because she has dropped it a lot. But its not often that this happen, it's still a good phone.

I have one and it works great. However, there is a hitch. Last I heard T-Mobil no longer accepts new customers. There are two SIM cards inside. Each can be associated with a number. When I bought mine, I was assigned a number. I can use it anywhere in the country that I can plug into the internet. I'd suggest you contact T-Mobile. If they won't set the service up for you there is also Vontage which works the same way, but at a slightly higher price. 2 notes: if the router(the device in the photo) stops working, you will need to buy another. It's the same with Vontage. It cost me about $60, not to mention the time and effort. The vontage one works with fax machines, the T-Mobile one doesn't. I have one and it works great.

check with the seller and make sure the phone is an open phone that is able to switch carriers. the item with this query says t-mobile and would not be compatible with att. $500 seems pretty steep for a 16g phone. you'd almost be better to get a new iphone 7 in fall.

Yes you can buy now and activate in May. It comes With $40 plan which has unlimited talk, text and data. If u wanna change to different plan you have to do it 30 days after activation.

I've had the phone for a couple of years now. It was locked to tmobile, which was fine with me. People don't seem to pay a lot of attention to their listings and there are frequent errors. You do have to ask questions.

I'm in MT, so I don't know...but if you have either AT&T or T-Mobile it would have to. We don't have T-Mobile and I keep getting the phones (except 2) with the T-Mobile chip. They won't tell you which has which chip. Even if it has the wrong chip you have to activate the phone, wait 24 hours, and then they will move you up the line if it still doesn't work--then make you wait at least a day again. It's all very annoying, but in the end they will then send you the simcard for the other provider. I've ordered 6 of these phones and also one of the LG 840G (also got that with a T-Mobile chip). If you are transferring a number, they will cut off that other phone nearly immediately (despite what they say). My mother's phone took a week to get it working despite having the right sim card, but my husband's transferred and worked within 24 hours. Are you interested in being able to log in to a router to access the internet? If so, this one doesn't do that but the 840G does. I ended up giving this phone to my daughter because of that and getting the 840. In the end, I love both the phones. They aren't smart phones but they do what I need them to do within my price range. My husband, 2 kids, and I all have tracfones and it averages out that we pay less than $10 a month in total. You can't beat that if you are a light to moderate user. The deals Shopcells (or something like that) has with the minutes they offer for a year/6months are great. If you add on minutes later it is cumulative, the days as well as the minutes roll over as long as it's active.

I think you can at t-mobile. I know they accept any device that you can add for I think $20 a month but I think that's if you already have an account there. Or you could just go to your carrier and ask them because most carriers just add the data plan for your device to your existing mobile plan. As for the GPS, when they add your device, they should be able to send a bunch of apps on it, one of which is a gps thing. If not then just search for one on the Playstore on the device.

I have clear "grandfathered in" and recently purchased hub for my daughter at Christmas (2013) her box is not grandfathered - while I do pay a little less for unlimited data - she has unlimited data for about $40 a month- the difference is you need to sign up through Clear not sprint - you will need to make sure your box is not under contract with anyone else - Clear can let you know if it is - once you have a clean hub not under another contract your good to go!- Also I don't remember a separate activation fee plus clear has website and pay stations you can pay them directly- it was a good deal for us, especially since my daughter moves frequently - they can potentially get service where ever she lives I have clear "grandfathered in" and recently purchased hub for my daughter at Christmas (2013) her box is not grandfathered - while I do pay a little less for unlimited data - she has unlimited data for about $40 a month- the difference is you need to sign up through Clear not sprint - you will need to make sure your box is not under contract with anyone else - Clear can let you know if it is - once you have a clean hub not under another contract your good to go!- Also I don't remember a separate activation fee plus clear has website and pay stations you can pay them directly- it... » Read More I have clear "grandfathered in" and recently purchased hub for my daughter at Christmas (2013) her box is not grandfathered - while I do pay a little less for unlimited data - she has unlimited data for about $40 a month- the difference is you need to sign up through Clear not sprint - you will need to make sure your box is not under contract with anyone else - Clear can let you know if it is - once you have a clean hub not under another contract your good to go!- Also I don't remember a separate activation fee plus clear has website and pay stations you can pay them directly- it was a good deal for us, especially since my daughter moves frequently - they can potentially get service where ever she lives « Show Less

My focus is on the length of service rather than the total minutes. I usually do a year of service that comes with 400 minutes -- that doubles to 800 as my phone automatically doubles the minutes. It really depends what your granddaughter intends to do with it. If it's for limited use, then the minutes will always carry over if you have the service time. If she talks and texts a lot you can always add more time as you go.

I have a business account with T Mobile. With this offer they have effective said to churn to another service. I have 5 phones two BB 7290 and three razor 3's. The best they could do for me is 150.00 initial cost 35 activation fee and keep the other services. as of Jan 23 my contract date.I will drop them like a hot rock and move on by buying phone seperately. Then pick up service I need and want. I dont have time to put the pencil to it maybe one of MBA's here can give a good review of what is the best plan of action cost wise.

If you order it at T-mobile it comes with one. Be sure to get the pay as you go plan and not standard monthly fee plan. PS if you plan on using this phone just far calling it OK. Do not expect to be able to play games or so.
