Why yes, that is a bag phone
Last week Simple Mobile started $40/mo unlimited 3G data (slow) and unlimited talk & texts.
This week Walmart & T-Mobile release a $30/mo plan with unlimited 4G data, unlimited texts & 100 mins contract free:

Looking good to me since I don't use that many mins per month
HTC: Mogul, Touch, Touch Pro, Touch Pro 2, Sensation
Samsung: Moment, Intercept, Galaxy Note 2
LG: Optimus V, Optimus Slider
Tablets: Nook, Iconia Tab, Nexus 7

oooo. This 30/month plan with walmart and t mobile looks interesting. Now that they've announced prices, I'm just waiting to see what devices are supported on this plan. If it's anything better than optimus slider, I will seriously consider switching over. I may stay for the optimus black, but hey, who knows how long that's going to take.

Basically ANY unlocked GSM phone will work with these plans...Originally Posted by exuberance

oh nice, didn't know that. Havent been on a gsm carrier before.

Can the iPhone be modified to work on a GSM network? I seem to recall seeing that somewhere.
Phone Collector
The AT&T iPhones are already GSM, the Verizon ones cannot be modified to run on a GSM network which makes them next to useless overseas.

If Nexus Prime is released Oct 11 as rumored, I think I'll be buying it off contract and jumping ship to T-Mobile. This new plan from T-Mobile is exactly what I've been looking for as I rarely go over 100 minutes a month and the .10/minute overage charge is very reasonable.

So its the same plan I already have except less minutes. No thanks.

Well, yes and no. Does your current VM plan have 4G speeds?
Phone Collector
"...the first 5 GB at up to 4G speeds..." That sounds good but the true speeds remain to b seen.
I do like the idea of better coverage a lot.
Virgin Evolution: Kyocera X-TC {167ppi}-> Rumor Touch {155ppi}-> Samsung Intercept {146ppi}-> LG Optimus V {180ppi}-> Motorola Triumph {228ppi}-> LG Optimus V {180ppi}-> Motorola Triumph {228ppi} LG Optimus V {180ppi}->-> ???
Current main device: Asus Nexus 7 32 GB {216}
My next phone: Samsung Galaxy Note 2 on TMo??? {265ppi} Getting less sure. Leaning towards Nexus 4 {318 ppi}

The 100 minutes is clearly for someone who almost never uses their phone for calls. I feel like I barely use my phone for calls other than keeping in touch with my wife during the day, and I still hit 150 minutes a month on average. Don't get why they wouldn't do a normal amount like 250 minutes or something.

They want you to bump up to their 50-dollar unlimited everything. I'd be on them right away if they 30-dollar had more than 200 minutes.
Phone Collector
yeah but if you use 200 minutes on T-Mobiles $30 prepaid plan, you only have to pay $40 since they charge $0.10 per minute over your plan....I think that is something to think about because remember that T-Mobiles $30 plan comes with 5gb Data at 4G speeds before they slow you down.....the $50 unlimited plan slows your speeds down after 2gb.
I am already jumping ship from VM to T-Mobile. I am one of those people that use between 50-150 minutes per month, so the T-Mobile plan offers a much better value for the speeds you get, plus the most important part for me, SELECTION OF PHONES! I just got an LG G2x for $200 off craigslist (i have an Optimus V on VM) and am waiting for my sim activation kit to arrive. The G2x is awesome so far. I can't wait to activate it on T-Mobile and take advantage of their 4G network. the speeds on VM have always been "acceptable" for $25/month, but now it's time to step up to a big boy network lol I know there are rumors that Sprint is going to roll out 4G to VM and Boost sometime this year, but that is still a long ways away, plus you still have to buy a new 4G phone anyway, so that will set us back another $300 depending on what kind of phones they will offer. I can get 4G speeds RIGHT NOW on T-mobile for $30 and BETTER phones...it's a no brainer for me. My wife is staying on VM but I have a feeling once I activate my T-Mobile prepaid plan and she sees how quick the speeds are, she will jump ship as well....plus she really doesn't like that the gps sucks on her Triumph because she's had to use it quite often and it barely works when she needs it.

I'd have to see some speed tests first. Will they gaurantee 4G speeds.

T-mobile is done for anyway with all AT&T buying it.
