The only option is to purchase wifi. I've flown the same route on other planes and the T-Mobile option IS available. Only when Panasonic is providing wifi the option goes away.
I wonder if someone from T-Mobile monitors these message board to comment.
BTW: I found this on reddit but take it with a grain of salt.
