On t-mobile monthly, it seems the fair usage policy is 1gb and 3gb for android phones.

But how do t-mobile know whether you have a android phone or not? Ive just bought the tmobile £7.50 sim only and unsure what is my FUP.

  • If you don't buy an Android phone from them then you only get 1GB.

    The network reads the IMEI every time the phone switches on, from that they know the make and model of the phone you're using.

    I have just ordered 2 sims on the £7.50 a month deal too and I asked the lady on the phone several times if I was getting 3GB a month. She confirmed everytime I asked that it included 3GB and at no point did she ask me to buy a phone or even ask me what phone I had.


    Ok....while writing this post I called t-mobile on the 0800 number I used yesterday and the lady I spoke to said the deal I got yesterday was an 'over the phone deal' so T&C on the website don't apply.
    She confirmed yet again that the deal does include 3GB of internet use a month.

    I ordered one of the £7.50 sim on Sunday (I received it today), I told the guy on the phone I want to put it in my iPhone he ask which one (I guess to see if I needed a micro sim) and I also asked him several times if it was 3GB of data and each time he confirmed yes, never once was 1GB mentioned.

    I was hoping that I'd get confirmation of the deal I signed upto with the sim but it didn't come with that, I'll check online later.
