Yes, it will work just fine with the T-mobile plan. In fact, I got it for my mom to use it on T-mobile as well. It takes standard sim card. Battery life has been good so far. Simple phone to use.

I have T-Mobile and have had no problems with any of the phones I've bought that was unlocked. They have activated everyone of them. I will tell you this phone is not a smartphone. I bought 2 for my 2 young sons and they didn't like them.

Hi Gil, yes I have but here is the problem. My current Tmo plan is 1500 anytime minutes for $40/month. No nights/weekends. This is more than enough for me. Plus, I pay $10/month unlimited web access and $5/month for 400 sms/mms. ATT in my market doesn't come close. Besides, I use my phone most for calls, not the web. Not to mention I would have to sign a contract...at least that was the case the last time I checked. Finally, my work phone is ATT and frankly I find the TMO service and call quality better than ATT, significantly. All the "bars" they brag about in their commercials...marketing fluff.

What if I have a t-mobile contract for 2 lines, can my wife sign up for 2 lines on her name, and can I keep my new numbers?

No I don't my son already has a plan so he just pay $30 a month, but, the down side is, if you have tmobile as your service, your phone won't be able to access the internet or other features unless you have AT&T; then you'll have all the features. My son don't use that phone anymore. I hope this helps.

I do not know if it can be used as a pre-paid phone, but I have the $45 a month unlimited plan, and I did use the SIM card from an older phone, and it works. It can NOT be used with T-Mobile, or Consumer Cellular SIM cards due to the number that they use to activate the phone has a different type of activation set up number.

I am a 65 yr old grandmother, so I am not hi-tech, but I have had a tracfone since 1998, and have never seen airtime cards that do not include either 90 days or one year, depending on cost. I mean, as long as you need both airtime and days of service, why not get them both at once? When one runs out before the other, and you renew, whatever you had left over is added to the new purchase. And if you buy a new phone, as long as it is a tracfone, you keep your number and whatever airtime or days you had left can be transferred onto your new phone.

I bought it for that reason and NO you can't. I confused me & I wish I had asked first. I bought it for my Dad because he lost his phone. We couldn't use it. They(Verizon) he could use it 60 days after their plan ended if he wanted a pre-paid option. Its still in the box!

No it needs data plan. 30 more added to your plan. That's y I don't have it anymore. Now I have a iPhone 5 verizon but with tmobile service I only pay $50 and service is not bad. My iphone 5 with Verizon was $120 so I pay half in tmobile

Me too. I have five cell phones in my house and two of them are mine. One for personal and the other for work. I was able to pair up my personal phone and set my business cell to forward to my personal phone so I in effect now have three (including the hubbies) setup on this system. I guess the kids will have to manage on their own. We don't have a land line. I'm surprised there are not more of these device. I hate it when my cell is downstairs and I'm upstairs. If I hear the phone, I make the mad dash.

it can be used as a regular line with some companies if they do not require it to have a data plan. Got this for my daughter she is 11 so i only got a regular line.

Yes you can if fact last time I activated the phone that was the only plan they had they did away with the other like the 70.00 dollar one. I went Verizon contract because the phones u get with pre paid r 3 year old phones so if anything goes wrong u will need to buy another.

Yes, if you do not use the device for a period of time, T-mobile will deactivate the SIM card and you will be forced to buy a new one. I just experienced this very thing yesterday. Went to lend this device to a friend who's going out of town and I couldn't log in to my account. After calling T-mobile, the CS rep "Sergio", told me the SIM card had been deactivated for lack of use and to go to the store and they would replace it for no charge. When I got to a T-mobile store, I was charged $10 for a new SIM card + the additional amount to add data. After my friend gets back, I plan to dump this thing and get a *real* "no contract" wifi hotspot. Forcing users to buy new SIM cards just because T-mobile decides to arbitrarily deactivate your perfectly-good working one is a total scumbag move on their part.

Follow up about the mhl...talked to T-mobile tech support and found out it is only in "older" phones, that it's not in most of the newer phones due to newer technology being used now. Guess I will consider a trade in.

Our phone only has one line. Perhaps there is a different model with two or more, but I am not aware of it.

Yes, I know about the dumbphone plan. I have an Android phone with the 5gig plan and am just looking at the 808. Because of that, I'm not on the $15 plan.Can you get the $15 unlimited plan today? Or is it some grandfathered in type of situation?

I want to use this phone on the TMO family plan. So, the first answer posted to the question says yes, it can be used on the plan while the second answer says "maybe". Anyone else have an answer?
