T-Mobile.com, Wal-Mart Monthly4G Prepaid Offering Phone List
In just a few short hours the announcement of T-Mobile’s newest prepaid plan has already taken off like wildfire with hundreds of readers hoping to take advantage of this plan when it arrives October 16th. One question that quickly arose was the question of what devices would be offered/allowed on this Wal-Mart/T-Mobile.com exclusive plan? So we went right to the source and asked T-Mobile. While any “capable” phone/smartphone will work with this plan there will six specific devices being offered in combination with this attractive prepaid offering. The Nokia 1616, LG GS170, T-Mobile Sparq, Samsung Dart and Nokia X2 are all being sold with this Monthly4G rate plan.
Of course we also got specific and asked if you could use a Galaxy S II with this plan or just purchase a SIM card for use with this offering and select your own phone later. The answers to both questions are a thankful yes. On a more important note this is not a limited time offer although there is no indication this plan will be available through T-Mobile corporate owned retail stores. This is a Wal-Mart, T-Mobile.com exclusive offering.
