OFFICIAL: T-Mobile Exhibit II prepaid reviews/thoughts

[Grinner21]

Costco will be selling the Exhibit II starting on the 11th. As T-Mo has the phone for $249, I would expect a similar price to Walmart at about $199. Don't know, though...

Has anyone found this phone and bought it at Walmart recently? Like yesterday or today?
I've been to 2 walmarts in the area and they don't seem to have it at all.

They have a section for T-Mobile called "Family plan" or w/e and the only phone similar to the Exhibit is the Optimus One for $199!
Crazy, i can get the 4G phone for that same price, not sure where i can find it though.
Gonna call around.


Edit: Just called a 3rd store, they said they don't have them in yet...
To try in a few days. Wow .. and I thought i was late to the party

Some stores don't carry it at all. That link above will tell you if your store does or doesnt. My local walmart does not carry the phone.

Wow thank you for that link, i've spent so much time on the site trying to find this and never could.
Looks like a store a bit further away has it, or so it says from October 30th, that's been a few days now.
The store that says they will carry it in a few days isn't even on the list .. hmm

One quick question, If i buy the phone.. I'll have to purchase the new SIM kit right? I saw they were going for $25 at Walmart.. ouch, isn't that $25 + $30 for the plan (100 mins, unlimited txt/data) i want?

The $25 is more Walmart Family Mobile. You don't want that one. I believe the $199 prepaid Walmart Exhibit II will come with a SIM activation kit. So you don't need to buy anything else. But if for some reason it doesn't, you can get a SIM from a reseller for a few bucks shipped, or directly from TMobile for cheap. DON'T BUY THE $25 kit -- its a completely different service!

The Exhibit comes with the SIM kit that you need.

Did anyone see this?

Ha, also.. it says 3.5" display, isn't it 3.7?
either way.. that article doesn't really matter when you get it on prepaid for $30 a month and only spending $199 for it!

I thought it was kinda funny, this phone is a Walmart exclusive and some Walmarts don't carry T mobile phones. Plus the employees are clueless.

OK, am I the only one that thinks 100mb of 4g data and then throttled is a come on? I've been getting +1m speeds consistently with VM and there's no cap to it. Today is 4 Nov and I've used 83.73mbs of data already, 100 is useless to me.

That particular plan is criminal IMO. It's only good for flip phones and messaging phones, and none of those phones use 4G.

The other/newer $30 plan is pretty awesome though.

BTW, it's listed on Amazon for $199 as well.

And for those who want to pay through the nose, I saw one on ebay for $325. This is not mine. Posting for laugh factor.

I've seen quite a few that sold for well over $200 on eBay. I don't get it.

That's pretty great news actually.

1. Better chance of a price drop/sale on it.

2. 30 day return policy (as opposed to walmart's 15 days) so you can try a full month of T-Mobile for nothing more than the price of a top up card.
