Ting now offers T-Mobile GSM Sim cards.

If you're on say T-Mobile's $30 pre-paid and use less than 5GB a Month then if switch to Ting you can save quite a bit depending on how much you use.

Using Opera Max may help the data go further too.

A great deal now is you can save $50 after getting the Sim card or on a device: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?p=37202381#post37202381

Pretty bad deal if you use any kind of data at all. The 1GB-2GB package is already $29 and that's without all of the other charges.

Depends on a person's usage and when not on a Wifi spot.

This of course is not for everyone. Only for those who can use less than 1GB.

I have been eyeing my data usage and between listening to Streaming music, Podcasts, Waze GPS & the occasional Hangout VOIP call I can easily get by on less than 1GB. By going from my past data usage.

Really there is a plan for everyone be it Ting's $12-$19 data or Voice and Text if you need it, T-Mobile's $30 5GB PrePaid or even AT&T's 2.5GB Unlimited all Cricket for $35 a Month....

Just depends....

For Tmobile it is hard to beat harbormobile. $30 per month ($33 with taxes) for 2.5GB high speed data, unlimited text, voice. The difference is it includes the post-paid features like international data and texting that are missing from other prepaid and MVNO plans. A tablet-only 5GB plan is only $15 if all you want is data (can't use it on phones though.)
