T-mobile charges $240 for this phone. Can I buy it in amazon for $180, take it to the t-mobile store, and sign up for a no-contract monthly plan?

Yes. I have a $30 a month plan and have been using my own phones for years now.

yes, not a problem. I took my Amazon purchase in to a T-Mobile store where they took care of everything. Moved the number from the old phone to the new and switched the devices on my plan.

I bought this phone two months ago, it's T-Mobile phone, but it's no contract. I used prepaid card for it.

I noticed this too. I also went to ATT's site and set up a mock plan which does have the option. I'm looking to switch and am wondering if I sign up through Amazon will I be able to go in store and switch to the $30 unlimited messaging family plan? This guy doesn't want to get hosed 120 bucks a year for signing up on Amazon.

Cingular and Amazon.com have not yet established a method for customers to transfer their current number to a new Cingular account. Your price paid includes an Equipment Discount of $250 that has been provided to you by this Cingular-authorized agent for activating a new non-substitute line of service with Cingular, and maintaining this new line of service with the selected rate plan in good standing for a minimum of 181 consecutive days. If you choose to purchase a Cingular phone through this Cingular-authorized agent and port your number with Cingular, you herein agree to a $250 reimbursement to be paid to this Cingular-authorized agent. See full service requirements. If you choose to purchase a Cingular phone through Amazon and don't want to port your number, you will not be charged $250. We hope to offer a porting option in the coming months, so please check back.

In the usa, T-Mobile still(05.2015) offers a data plan where you pay $15 once for the SIM card, then you get 200MB/month for life FREE, no-contract, and you can buy data as you need it; 500MB/1 day $5; 1GB/1 week, $10; 3GB/30 days $30; 5GB/30 days $40; I believe I have the pricing correct. If you aren't a data hog, you can go all month of emailing with the Free 200MB, sweet. I have these in some 3G iPads and works awesome. I love T-Mobi and am kissing AT-T's A$$ goodbye.

Read the fine print if it one of those $0.99 sales as it then DOES require a contract (look for "Off contract" phones if you just want a replacement!)

I signed mine up with Metro PCS which is a prepaid service with no contract. I have everything (talk, text and data) unlimited for $55 per month.

This is no contract pay as you go. They do have plans if you want a package of services like voice, text and data, or you can just pay for what you use. This service is actually a reseller of network T-Mobile so be sure that the T-Mobile network has coverage where you plan to use you phone with this SIM

No. You will have to provide your own, purchased from one of the compatible carriers. I use it with T-Mobile, and they charged $10 for the SIM card and activation.

Just to let you all know I purchased this phone last night and today I recieved and email giving me my NEW number which I dont want. I was told by Amazon I could change over my old number since I was renewing my contract. CAlled t-mobile today and they were like no you cant because Amazon started you a new account!

Thank you for raising this issue, which I am not sure is addressed in any of the reviews. (can't remember, I've read so much stuff in the last two days researching various products).I will be calling T-Mobile before I purchase this phone from amazon.I am NOT a fan of Walmart and try hard to not purchase from them if at all possible. I would much prefer to order from Amazon. Let's hope that is possible.

You'll have to get the SIM mini card. This phone takes the smallest one and a trip to T-Mobile would ease your pain. They can take it out and update the card in the store.

which are you trying to activate?...if its the t-mobile sim card i would take it to the t-mobile store or call them (1-800-866-2453 ). there is just a internet service plan for 39.99 per month.

This phone is a no contract phone and has no simm card. It is a dedicated Verizon phone but is a pre-paid phone. You may be able to transfer the cost of the pre-paid plan (3-G $65) to an existing Verizon plan. Call them and ask them. Great working little phone and has support still for its operating system and all Verizon and Android apps.
