    Xoom's not properly refurbed

    If you returned a Xoom, I hope you did a factory reset! Apparently for 6 months Motorola may not have properly wiped personal information! Motorola Xoom Refurb Alert

    T-mobile $30 Unlimited data, Text, 100Min Voice

    To be clear here, the plan being discussed here does NOT have a 100m high speed limit. This $30 plan has 5GB of high speed data before being throttled. After 2 weeks on the plan I had used just over 1 GB. I don't anticipate I'll ever reach the 5GB limit.

    T-mobile $30 Unlimited data, Text, 100Min Voice

    Final update, text started working this morning. 6 days after initiating port. One bit of advice, the email that confirmed the port indicated it could take up to 3 business days for text to work. So, to minimize downtime I would reccomend initiating the port early in the week.

    Recommend a cheap phone to try on Tmobile

    On a sub-$100 phone won't allow you to test out the 4G service, are you in a 4G area? I would try a nicer phone which you can resell if you decide you don't want to keep the service. I got the G2X and am extremely happy with it. You should be able to find for between $200-$250 on ebay or...

    T-mobile $30 Unlimited data, Text, 100Min Voice

    Update, took 49 hours to port number from VM to GV. As expected, text messaging isn't working. I can text out, just can't receive. Wifi calling works great with GrooveIP. 4G is good about 1/2 the time, so think I'm going to pass on that. If I use Wifi when I can I think I'll easily stay under...

    I'll let you guess which one is which! :) This was a no brainer! Loving the G2X. Port process is a bit slow, at 40 hour since request and nothing yet.

    Ordered a pristine G2X on Ebay for $250 with express shipping. Ordered prepaid activation kit on t-mobile.com. Received both yesterday, activated $30/100 mins plan online no problem. Put the sim card in backwards so nothing worked. (I have only ever been on Verizon, Sprint and VM, so know...

    How did you get free overnight shipping? And how can a sim card be tied to a particular plan? When you order online you don't select a plan, you do that once you receive and activate the sim card. Perhaps they meant you can't use a post-paid sim card for a pre-paid plan, and vis versa.

    I picked up a slightly used LG G2X for $225, $75 less than I would have paid for the Triumph, if it weren't a POS! I usually use around 150 minutes a month, so I'll have about $5 in overages, thus paying about $35 a month. $10 more than I pay now, and the same as a new customer would pay on...

    So, I'm curious, how on God's green earth did you find this thread about a defunct ROM in which to ask a question that is answered in a sticky at the top of the thread, or multiple threads on the first page of this forum? Now, go to the first page of this forum, find the "How to" sticky, and...
