Wondering if this will work?

[cuad1780]

So,

Currently I have an Optimus T phone with the $15/month pre paid UL text/10cents a min plan. It's not that great for me as I'm starting to make calls more often(finally have a girlfriend, lol). I'm hoping to just get the new $30/month plan everyones talking about with UL text/web and 100minutes.

What I'd like to know is, could I buy a non pre-paid phone(such as the One S) for the full price somewhere(wherever is cheapest), and just buy a T-mobile SIM card and pop it in the phone with that plan? Or do I need one of the pre-paid phones T-Mobile offers on their website? I've had the same plan/phone for quite a long time, it needs to be replaced!

No you do not need to buy a prepaid phone Tmo offers. I have a Tmo Galaxy S2 on the $30 prepaid plan

Yep as dubba said, that's the sweet thing about this plan. You activate the SIM card online then pop it into any phone that works with T-Mobile. When activating the SIM card for the first time it will ask you to input the phone's serial number which im sure any phone that works with T-Mobile just have no problem being added.

Yep.

I just bought an Exhibit II used from some guy off CL; $100, and I'm waiting for my SIM card activation kit.

I could have bought any phone that takes a T-Mo SIM card.

Ohh well then this is just amazing . Perfect plan for me, my choice of phone too? Even better. Thanks a bunch for the quick replies

Is 100 minutes enough?? I don't talk on the phone much but even I need more than that. Girls are usually long winded too

It's only .10/min after 100 minutes, same as PAYG.
