Mobile Day Plan in the States? Hi Guys I am making a 7 days trip to LA. I need a phone for work related. However, I don't want to get roaming charge. I heard T-Mobile, has a $4 day plan with unlimited calling and data??? Pretty much just pop in their sim card. I have an iphone 4 locked to fido and my coworker has unlocked samsung galaxy s2 Has anyone heard about this day plan and will it work with our mobile phone? Thanks |

Your coworker with the unlocked S2 will work fine with the sim |
Search is your friend... There are over 4 threads now dedicated to this topic and only over the last 2 months. :) lots of information to be found. |
Work related.. They should be paying for your line lol unless it's your own work. There's also Roam Mobility. |

$4 a day Unlimited calling/Text + back to Canada and 2GB unthrottled data T-Mobile, same deal, but doesn't include back to Canada and 200mb before throttling |
if you go the Roam mobility route, give us a review as to how it worked for you. |
For anyone who's on T-Mo though, go into one of their shops or order online a sim for your tablet. If you have a PAYG account with them, you get the 200MB free for the life of your PAYG account on that second sim. I have this and I rarely switch to the $3/day plan for data anymore. 200MB/mth is more than enough for light browsing when I'm down there. T-Mo's LTE works wonder on my iPad Mini 2. |
I wouldn't really recoomend Roam Mobility after using it in October... Calls/texts were ok, but if you needed to rely on data usage like I did--it didn't work most of the time. I was in Downtown Seattle and WaMu theater most of the time if that helps |

I use T-Mobile's service when I'm in LA (and this is quite frequent.) No problems. Service overall is better than AT&T's. |
Used the $3 T-Mobile Pay by the day plan when I was in Vegas, had no issues at all. The 3G internet was even faster then the hotel's WIFI. |
use a unlocked aws phone to get best speeds with tmobile or else you might be stuck on 2g on less populated areas. http://www.airportal.de/# |
Can you tether with one of these plans? Posted via RS Mobile |
In my experience with T-Mobile's prepaid plan, no. |
T-Mobile offers 200mb free data/month, don't know if this is for Canadians though. T-Mobile offering 200MB of free LTE for any tablet with no strings attached | Android Central But if you need voice too then Roam mobility is a good choice. I use it all the time. |
Shouldn't matter Canadian or not. It should be based on as long as you have a T-Mobile sim card and connected to their network. |
so is the T-mobile $2/$3 plan unlimited data? (don't care that first 200mb is at 4G speed) T-mobile seems like a good deal if it is unlimited.. |

Using Roam Mobility on an iPhone 5 in the USA [Review] | iPhone in Canada Blog - Canada's #1 iPhone Resource This was a reminder as to why I would choose Roam mobility. That being that I can call or text back to Canada as part of the $3/day package. |

I've used Roam as well and they use the same network as T-Mo so it would get similar network performance and having an unlocked AWS phone for both is recommended ... |
