I've had a contract with T-mobile for two years, then I switched to their $30 prepaid unlimited data (5GB@4G), unlimited text, and 100 minutes of calling. It's been really great. I use VOIP for all my calling so the 100 minutes never get touched. =]

I don't know what exactly you want to know, but I have always used prepaid. .
I'm curious, does the GNex support T-Mobile's 3G bands?Im switching from Virgin Mobile, my Motorola Triumph is starting to suck, to the T-Mobile PrePaid plan ($30/month) with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus! I hope its good!

Cool then. I've had the chance to try T-Mobile's HSPA (with Samsung Galaxy S 4G) and it's very fast. I got upwards of 6Mbps at home which is better than most DSL subscriptions. Unfortunately, I barely get any signal where I really need it (at my workplace) and if I do, it's only GPRS/EDGE.Yeah I went to a T-Mobile store yesterday and they said it does
But this is a Walmart plan,right?I've had a contract with T-mobile for two years, then I switched to their $30 prepaid unlimited data (5GB@4G), unlimited text, and 100 minutes of calling. It's been really great. I use VOIP for all my calling so the 100 minutes never get touched. =]

Anyone on here use PrePaid carriers? If you do, please share your experiences.
Experiences? Freedom to not be jerked around by terrible customer services, freedom to not incur hidden charges, freedom to not have debt collectors chasing you & threatening with legal action, possibly lose credit rating, freedom to not be bullied into things like insurance,* longer term contracts etc, freedom to not be tied to a network even if you can't get a signal, etc etc etc.
*People get overcharged for insurance when mostly they don't need it.
That may be the case in the UK but the options in the US are fairly limited. Practically the only national carrier offering decent prepaid plans is T-Mobile. If you require good coverage, that usually means either Verizon or AT&T and yes, you pay through the nose with those two.People get lulled in by the free handset, but more & more 'flagship' handsets (iphone?) expect you to pay for it too. It's getting like buying a house FFS! Honestly, I think most people who go contract are mugs. Ok there are exceptions, like business people or those who talk too much, but some people just like to feel important (imo) so they give their souls to the devil.
Honestly, you are still paying for calls, pre-pay ops have decent unlimited tariffs for data & texts, & branded handsets are cheaper than sim-free because they are locked to the network. But you can fix that yourself.
$50 unlimited voice/text/data plan (that's actually considered inexpensive in the US, go figure) is useless if you don't have signal.
