Difference between classic, value, and business plans

[maxsilver]

Does anyone know if there is a difference between the coverage / roaming capabilities between the three plans?

Ive heard mentions of higher data roaming on business plans in some scattered places on this forum, and I noticed that the business lines on the tmobile website are advertised as "unlimited everything" for $50/month, and aren't listing the 2gb on network, 100mb off network soft data caps.

Are these the same thing, or do the business lines truely offer higher limits? Is there anything preventing me from signing up as a business to get more data roaming?

The business plans do have higher limits. To get a small business plan, you can't be a sole proprietorship.

Do you know specifically what the limits bump up to on business plans?

I'm not worried so much about qualifying as a business. (I can use an LLC) I just was curious if it was worth doing -- how that changes the plan, and if there were new/different restrictions. (If you had a much larger ETF, or if you had to have a minimum number of lines or such).

I'd mainly be doing it just for extra data roaming -- I don't need it very often, but I want to have it when I need it, and I'm willing to pay extra for it, or do business-plan hassle for it, if they'll let me get it. (Calling T-Mobile, it seems like a normal postpaid customer can't purchase extra data roaming. They can only jump up on the on-network data plans and get tiny amounts of extra roaming as a side-effect).

I believe you need a business tax ID at the minimum, There was someone in the rants section that was complaining about all of the verification they had to do to prove it was for their business but I know you need this for a small business plan. They have unlimited data roaming.

Corp store rep told me that business tax ID is required in order to get business plans.

Thats weird they wouldn't allow a sole proprietorship count as a small business, I was considering going small business because of the aggressive pricing but I guess I can't now. Whats funny is that when my parents signed up for Comcast business internet they didn't have to provide any verification about us having a small business or not. They just charged a lot for installation and made us sign a contract.
