    Nexus 5 owners with T-Mobile $30 Prepaid Plan Thread

    After further research, it looks like $15 is required to add tethering to this plan. Probably because this is technically an unlimited plan, since they throttle after the 5GB, instead of cutting off.

    Yes tethering is included. Most all plans must include that now. Unless the plan is unlimited.

    You just missed a deal for the T-Mobile Prepaid SIM Activation Kit for a penny. Expired yesterday. :(

    Nexus 5: T-Mobile $30 Plan

    Re: Nexus 5 T-Mobile $30 Plan You got it. Pretty straight forward. Was one of the easier plans I've set up without having to make a phone call to customer service. Straight Talk was OK, GoPhone was pretty confusing, but T-Mobile was easy. Unfortunately I had to ditch the plan (which was...

    Unlimited data, that is throttled to 2G after you use 5GB (which is 4G). Edit: I'm probably wrong. You may have been bumped to Unlimited 4G for the same price as the previous 5GB of 4G cost.

    Straight Talk (AT&T LTE) data issues

    A few months back, I ended up switching from Verizon to Straight Talk (via their AT&T SIM). Having had the same data issues for a month, I was fed up (even tried a second SIM from them)...so I ditched Straight Talk and just went with T-Mobile directly (via their $30/month pre-paid plan). That...

    My problem is that I did switch to the T-Mobile $30 plan, but when at work I get no service. It will roam to AT&T for voice, but I need data! Looks like I'll have to go AT&T route and now pay double. :(

    You should try just activating on the prepaid website... It's still listed as an option here: Prepaid Cell Phone Plans, No Credit Check | Monthly 4G | T-Mobile

    Nexus 5 owners with T-Mobile $30 Prepaid Plan Thread

    Nexus 5 here. Just switched from Straight Talk because I was having an issue with their ST AT&T SIM card not syncing with Google. I thought $30 a month was too good to be true, and unfortunately, with T-Mobile, it sort of is. I get LTE at home, and I get coverage at my work too, but the rumors...

    Straight Talk and LTE on AT&T SIM with the Nexus 5 is sweet

    I had straight talk send me a new SIM card incase the original one they sent me was defective. The new one had the same issues. Sure, it's possible that the new one was also bad...but I wasn't going to try for a third time. Since their customer support was horrible, and pretty much all of the ST...

    Nexus 5: Weird alarm clock bug

    Re: Weird alarm clock bug Weird. On my Nexus 5, it shows in the notification bar, but there is no Alarm Clock in the quick settings anymore. (I just got my Nexus 5 a couple week ago, and came from a Galaxy Nexus with Jelly Bean). Nevermind, I'm an idi0t (funny they censor the word idi0t). It's...

    Nexus 5: Weird alarm clock bug

    Re: Weird alarm clock bug It's annoying. The alarm is set, and I would use that in the Quick Settings to quickly get to the alarm clock app...but now I have to find it in the app drawer. Even if I just want to see what time the alarm is set for...

    Nexus 5 WiFi/Cell Orange Icons...

    Just got a new LTE SIM card from ST. Still same issue. I really gotta get my hands on a version before they switched to the LTE SIM cards. I don't care if I don't get 4G as long as I get my data synced when it's supposed to.
