I need to get a new family plan with 3 lines within this the next day or two. Want to keep it Tmobile and on the Tmobile site everything is obviously overpriced. Already have 2 seperate plans and want to get just one big one. Went on Amazon and seems like plans are slightly cheaper and phones are cheaper as well. Is there any other place big like Amazon that has plans and phones like that? I don't want to buy from a no name place. I search google and it just gives you a bunch of small websites that I wouldn't want to buy from.

Amazon usually farms these things out to 3rd parties. Personally, I would never buy a plan online. To me it makes much more sense to be face-to-face with a person and be able to ask questions.

I used Wirefly to get a T-Mobile plan once, and it worked just fine. Amazon usually has the best price on phones if they have the plan you're looking for.

Also remember places like Amazon, Wirefly, and Lets Talk also require you to sign a contract with them. If you change your rate plan or remove features in the first 6 months, you have to pay them back for their commision, usually about $180.
