What's the cheapest family plan for 4 lines and 2 lines?

I see that it's $99 for 2 lines for unlimited text and minutes, but it makes you add $20 (minimum) for data required for smart phones...

Worst case is you don't get the rebate, pay 1 month service and etf. Still 309 instead of 389 from Google.

credit hit only happens if u don't pay the bill. now if u pay the ETF and make sure its all $0.00 then nothing will happen.

Your credit is checked when you activate a line. They won't just trust you to a 2-year post paid contract without knowing your credit rating.

It's called an "inquiry" and too many will drag down your credit score. That's why I shake my head when people open a store charge card to save 10% or something. Just not worth it.

Hey, apply away. I care not, just pointing out some facts that clearly some don't understand.

Just a clarification for those looking to get this free Nexus; the free offer only applies to those on the "classic" T-Mobile plans and NOT the newer value plans. I called them directly and that's what they told me. I tried to add a line to my value plan and they said I would have to pay $149.99 and $20/month for 20 months.

I was really hoping I could do the free nexus but it was not to be.

Just adding that so others don't waste their time. However, I was able to convince the manager at my local T-Mobile store to sell me the nexus for $99.99 (minus $50 mail in rebate) in store plus waived activations (standsrd at the time) AND $100 credit on my first months bill because I was paying a hefty ETF to ditch AT&T. YMMV.

Anyone who is interested in opening a new account with any wireless carrier should try and milk every last $ dollar from these reps, managers especially.

Also of note, and I'm sure most fatwallers are fully aware, your place of employment can offer you a discount because you work there. I get 24% off my monthly bill with AT&T because I work at Sears and 15% at T-Mobile because I'm still in the military.

Do your homework!

why not just buy unlocked from google for $349 and then use tmobile pre-pay $50 card? No hassle, no credit check etc. Also getting that $50 refill is easy and cheap on eBay. Usually $50 card can be bought around $40. So $40 everything unlimited is the best plan from tmobile.

Its $349 plus tax and shipping!
Plus god knows when they will restock again
