I've now set up both AT&T and T-Mobile for my Nexux 7 3G. For T-Mobile, I set up a prepaid $35 for 3.5GB option. However, I've had less than... stellar... network performance results with T-Mobile in my area and have now gone back to AT&T which is giving me more consistent network coverage and speeds.
What plan is that called? Is it some type of data only option?
Is your n7 wifi only?I'm curious too. I have a $30 plan (unlimited text and data) that I would really like to use. I'm not sure if the Nexus would be compatible since it's a tablet and not a phone.

I don't have a Nexus 7. But would like to buy one (3G version) once it's confirmed I can use my tmobile plan on it.
T-Mobile never does anything smart about customer service or convenience.T-Mobile has decided to make it nearly impossible to conveniently get a data plan for a tablet. If you go to the store and get the SIM card, they will also give you a made up phone number for the device, just like it was a phone. Then you simply go home and create a MyT-Mobile account for that phone number and buy some data, right?
Well, no. The geniuses at T-Mobile have decide that to create a MyT-Mobile account you need a temporary password, WHICH THEY SEND BY TEXT TO A DEVICE THAT DOES NOT RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES. The solution they say, is to get a T-Mobile phone that takes a microSIM card and put the tablet SIM in it, then get the text message, then swap the SIM cards again. And this presumes you gave access to a T-Mobile phone with the latest format SIM card. Apparently they aren't interested in getting new customers for data for tablets.
Is it worth the trouble when all you have to do for AT&T is go to their site, enter the MEID and SIM numbers and your billing info? NO
Old thread I know but it is about what my question is concerning. First, when creating an account, the Nexus 7 will receive those text messages you need for the temporary password. They work just like with the Nexus 4 phone.
My question though is about renews. My data plan is the 3.5GB plan and it expires/renews on the 28th. I have half a GB left. If I run out before the 28th, can I buy a new 3.5GB plan and will it expire on the 28th also or will buying the new 3.5GB plan start off a new 30 days to use that data? It's not clear on the website.
