Does anyone know how this is going to work? It's supposed to roll out next week. I've also heard that T-Mobile is going to start servicing LTE very shortly, although my Nexus 4 won't benefit from it.
I've read this and this, and still not sure about the details. Pricing isn't too different than current plans except that the data price is going down. (current approx. $10 for 1 GB to $10 for 2 GB, plus 500 MB comes default with every plan) 2 GB for $10 sounds reasonable enough as long as speed is competitive.
What I am not understanding is why/how pre-paid plans are cheaper than post-paid plans. Is it because of device subsidy? But afaik pre-paid plans apply to phones already paid for as well as subsidized phones.
Also, T-Mobile has 1) Post-paid, 2) Pre-paid, and 3) Value plans. The difference between post- and pre- paid plans are self-explanatory. What of Value plans, though? Are there quality difference, or some special eligibility requirements?
