Is there a PrePaid Plan on T-Mobile?

• Plans are confusing! Customer Service people use BS and double-speak. I can’t get a straight answer about getting a Pre-Pay or Pay-Go plan. 

 

US Mobile Plans are a RIPOFF! 

 

The US has some of the highest mobile costs in the world. In most countries, the cost of a cell is one-third (⅓) or less for the month. 

For example: 500MB in the UK costs about $ 8.80. The least expensive monthly charge is Austria @ $ 5.00.

Furthermore, T-Mobile constantly changes the charges, adds on charges, etc. 

My Magenta plan used to be $ 50.00. Recently, T-Mobile started charging $ 70.00 without authorization or explanation. I use very little data and hardly ever make cell phone calls. $ 840.- per year is a LOT of money for virtually nothing! 

 

• There are always additional charges in the fine print. 

 

Simply OUTRAGEOUS! 

Clearly you have never seens rates for Canada and Australia.  If you think the US rates are high.  You will pay at least 3 times more for a lot less in Canada. compared to T-Mobile.  The rates in Australia and New Zealand make Canada look cheap by compariaon.

Well, thanks but—I have seen and used plans for Europe and the UK as well as having seen plans for even China. Those are much, much less expensive! 

When I travel, especially abroad I always buy a sim card/plan for an unlocked phone. The cost is extremely low compared to T-Mobile and other U.S. provider  charges, even if included in a plan. 

Furthermore, despite claims of having large coverage areas, T-Mobile has plenty of dead zones and is quite often unusable in remote regions of the U.S. 

Like I said-the U. S. consumer is being RIPPED OFF! (Ditto for Canadian and those in Oz.
