  • In simple terms, there is nothing stopping you ordering it online with the Internet Booster as your 1 free booster BUT it makes more sense to order any of the other Boosters and then call T-Mobile when you get the phone and ask them about the free internet booster which they will give you for no charge.

    That way you get free unlimited text/whatever AND free 3Gb of web.

    I'd prefer to KNOW I'm getting 1GB internet with 600 texts then fight for 3GB internet and unlimited texts, than possibly get unlimited texts then no internet! :eek:

    As I said above, in theory yes, but I know a lot have struggled and had to fight hard for it.

    It's a personal thing but I'd rather have internet from the get go, for definite.
  • I think that T-Mobile have been pretty forthcoming with giving out the 3Gb internet allowance. I am sure there are people who have had a few issues but I personally am happy to take the chance.

    the reason they have had to fight is because the stupid resellers are registering the wrong imei numbers for example a nokia n900 instead of a desire

    I've read on other forums that T-Mobile have been claiming that the 3GB rate doesn't apply to re-seller contracts, only those direct from them.

    Hi...

    I don't see how t-mobile can claim that, it clearly states in there terms that they offer a 3GB allowance on Android handsets.

    Do you have a link ?

    TIA,

    I've just been looking at mobilephonesdirect and to have the data plan means paying an extra 39pounds for the handset on an 18 month 25 pcm contract. If just phoning tmobile to have it added works then this is very i9nteresting.
