Ok so I'm supose to go buy the tmobile sim card Today. Which one do I get in the retail store? Just ask for prepaid sim? Do I tell them it's for iPhone? Will I have problems with data ( due to side kick issue)
Should I buy just the sim card?? Which sim to get inorder to get flexpay?? Or do I need a tmobile phone with the imei or can I use my iPhone imei???

So I bought the prepaid sim then I lost it lol...gonna buy another one today. She told me to switch to flexpay I had to call and that they would need the imei to set up the phone. Does this mean that I can give then my iPhone imei or do I have to buy a prepaid tmobile phone that comes with a sim card
You don't have to call at all. You can put the sim in your phone, and the first time you dial, all setup will be done. I am NOT a fan of having to give anyone my IMEI as I feel like flexpay negates the obligation. If I wanted a buy a phone and submit to a 2 year contract, I'd have done that. THIS price I pay without a "free phone". I wish more T-Mobile reps would understand that.
Ok I'm confused then if I get a prepaid sim and just make a call how would it have flex pay. Also would I need to install a budle through cydia cuz I want data for flexpay to
Just go into a store and tell them you want to open a flexpay account. tell them you already have a compatible phone to use and that should be all there is to it. They'll setup the account, give you a sim card and then you pay. You can add internet and a texting bundle through your My T-Mobile account within a few hours of opening the account if you don't do it in the store.
I didn't get it yet long story.. But I want to get the 19.99 unlimited web/text....I have unlock.co on my home screen to.on a side not i unlocked my phone and downloaded the flex pay bundle in cydia and then I put my friends pre paid sim (non flex pay) in the phone restarted it and it bricked the phone was stuck on apple had to restore...was wondering why did this happen only 2 things I can think of is that my boss preff toggle for ultrasnow was off and the sim wasn't flex it was prepaid? But ne ways my question still is do I need a carrier bundle for flex pay and do I need to change the apn... Thanks
I have a couple of questions about the iPhone and Tmobile's flexpay.
First, how do I get Flexpay?
I read the posts above and it seems like I just walk in store and tell the people that I want a Flexpay account, then I just tell them what plan I want. Right? Then I walk home with a simcard and I put that in my iPhone and wallah! It should work? (Sounds stupid but yeah?)
Second, some have mentioned the 19.99 web+text, but I can't find that on the flexpay website. They do offer the "Even More Plus 500 Talk + Text with FlexPay". That has text and talk. Would that work for an iPhone 3G?
Third, the data plan. It's $10 extra. Does this work on the iPhone? I have heard that since the sidekick plans went down, this might not work.
Anyway, I'm sorry for all of this but I'm still on ATT and I want to switch over to Tmobile without a contract. I need Unltd web and text and the least amount of talk time possible (I don't really talk). If you know a way to get all features on tmo prepaid please let me know. I will appreciate it!
