T-Mobile Broadband Question...

Would a T-Mobile Broadband Sim Card work in a Mobile smartphone such as Galaxy etc...?

Trying to find a Mobile smartphone carrier that only does 3G/4G data package.

Any Ideas, leave a reply

Thanks!

Hello sschevy. I want to make sure I understand your question. ;) You want to remove the sim from a T-Mobile device and use it in a device from another carrier? Or do you want to use the sim in a different device with the same carrier?

I think he means can he use his broadband device's sim card in a mobile phone.

The reason is because he wants just the data service without the phone service.

if 5gb of mobile data is enough t mobile does have the $30 100 min unlimited text and web with 5gb at full speed.
I do not know if the mobile device's sim card will fit. If it did I would expect it to work.

Where do you see this T-Mobile Plan with unlimited text and web @ $30??

EDIT:

Nevermind, I have located it. I really had to search for it. I will go for that. LOL

Just to make sure this is easy for those who didn't see it but may be interested, here is the way to get the $30/month play with 100 min talk and 5 GB data (data throttled to 2G after using 5 GB, is technically unlimited) if you don't need a phone or don't want to buy it through T-Mobile or Walmart.

First, get the SIM Activation Kit for T-Mobile Monthly; it costs 99 cents with free shipping. You can buy the Activation Kit in local T-Mobile stores but they tend to charge close to $10 for the same kit.

Once you have the SIM and are ready to activate, activate it online. When it has you choose the plan, make sure you select the $30 plan, make sure you select the right one -- there is also a 1500 talk minutes or text.

The $30 plan is only available online or from Walmart. However, if you have any problems trying to get the SIM activated online, it will give you a phone number to call. Don't hesitate, if you are having issues, to call for help with activation or you can even go to a T-Mobile store. Just be sure to tell them you tried to activate online and you want the $30 "Walmart" plan with 100 min. and 5 GB.
