buy exhibit 2 phone from Amazon and $30/month prepaid plan from Walmart: - I read from the Walmart site and it said that the $30/month prepaid t-mobile plan is ONLY working with Exhibit 2 phone that is purchased from Walmart, is it true?

I just went to the Walmart site and they don't mention that little fact until the very end of the description, way down on the page! I would imagine they are getting tons of complaints about this because people will most certainly unknowingly buy it without realizing, and it says there are no returns. How are they getting away with this? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Tmobile-30-Wireless-Airtime-Card/15443357#rr I also looked on the T-mobile site (they are my carrier) and they do have that same plan listed and says it is available exclusively at Walmart and T-mobile, but it DOES NOT say it can only be used on phones purchased there or at Walmart.

This handset will not work on the Verizon prepaid plans, only month-2-month plans that require a credit check. Red box phones sold at Walmart & Target are the only one's you can use besides 3G phones that have been off of an account for more than 180 days. Thanks, Just Wireless inc.

I bought this phone two months ago, it's T-Mobile phone, but it's no contract. I used prepaid card for it.

I bought the phone from amazon. I already had a sim card in my previous phone I got from T-mobile and just put the card in this phone. You have to go into a store that handles T-Mobile if you are not already signed up. They will sell you 1000 minutes for $100 or smaller amounts of minutes for less. Look at T-mobile website for "no contract" info. No minutes come with phone from amazon. Tmobile will assign you a phone # when you purchase minutes.

Come with Micro 4 Sims. I added Sansung Micro 32 from Walmart for $29.30 (incl 10% ALabama Sales tax). Buy the phone and go to Walmart. My service is Verizon LTE Network Monthly $45. plus sales tax $6.25 = $51.25.3

Got the phone from Amazon. Got the prepaid activation kit from tmobile.com. Used the prepaid activation kit numbers for activation, not the ones on the phone box. Selected the $30 unlimited internet, text, 100 minutes during online setup. No issues. Called tmobile support after this to initiate the phone port which completed later in the evening.

Newegg has the same phone, known as the "Huawei IDEOS U8150". The only difference is that no telco touched it, so it doesn't have a T-mobile sticker, or any form of carrier lockout. After you lose the T-Mobile subsidy, the price comes out to $8 less. Strange things happening in the cell market, nowadays.Edit: found out why - it was a SECRET refurb! Newegg never said so on their listing, sneaky guys.

On this planet, all pre-paid phones work as same as post-paid contract phones if they r from same carrier( ATT, Tmobile, etc.) Yes, u can use put a post-paid Tmobile simcard into a pre-paid Tmobile phone. Or you can put a post paid sim from a Tmobile phone into a UNLOCKED pre-paid ATT phone and it would still work. (3G will not work).

Yes it works with t mobile/walmart family plan,but you have edge speed not 2or 3G. You will have 3Gspeed with AT&T; as provider.Also I've read you can achive 3G speed by setting up a VPN.Also I purchased my phone from Mango Natural and it was DEFECTIVE!! Touchscreen did not work,but Amazon did refund my money.

It depends on what you need. For example, every month I prepay $30 for 100 minutes, unlimited text, and unlimited web. You may find that 100 minutes is too small for you so you should check the prepaid plans available with t-mobile and see which fits your needs best.

My friend as I understand the $30 is only for DATA, I guess you also may need to add a regular plan to talk, even a prepaid one. As per the T-Mobile SIM CARD, yes you will be able to use it as long as you have a MICRO SIM CARD, not a regular one, you will need an adaptor if you want to swap all your contacts from your old phone.

It's pretty obvious. the prepaid card says 270$ right on it, yet they sell them for 385? You should never pay more than 45$/month for straight talk. The only authorized place to buy ST is walmart or walmart.com. These should be the only places you get cards. These people are probably stealing the unscanned cards at walmart and selling them, while they only work after you run them through the register

We have Walmart Family Mobile powered by T Mobile and it works great. I would contact Straight Talk and ask them if a T Mobile phone can be used on their network. Bet it will. Probably can get an answer from a Walmart phone sales person faster. And if you need help with the sim card (we did because I did't know you could punch out a smaller component from the larger one that was in the old phone) a Walmart person can probably help here too. Hope this helps.

You can either purchase a prepaid plan from many of the providers such as T-Mobile or AT&T or if you prefer to use a more diverse one such as Tracfone or Net10 then you would have to go to their webpage and get the info from there or simply visit a local retailer that carries the company products/services/ how to use the minutes. when you first purchase a prepaid plan ( either from AT&T or T-mobile) you can use the starter kits ( you may have to ask about those for prepaid services ) the directions are usually in the box. Either you can purchase airtime/minutes with a debit/credit/check card or by a card and add the appropriate amount of minutes you will need or want for a specific time frame. for prepaid cards - first purchase the card at a local provider or you could do so through walmart.com i've made many purchases through them with prepaid cards. It takes a few hours for the pin number to show up in your email. You will follow the instructions that comes with the box, either you can call the 1-800 number and add the airtime there or use the webpage of the service provider ( such as AT&T or T-Mobile) and follow the necessary steps but make sure you are under the prepaid section once on the webpage or it will not work properly. Then you should receive a message (free of charge if with T-Mobile from my experience) stating you've successfully added airtime to your device. Enjoy!
