T-MO To Go???
if i buy a tmo to go phone i.e. samsung t319 and use my existing sim card with it, will it work just the same or are these phones not as reliable with coverage as actually service phones?
...
Yes it should work just the same but it just depends on how good tmobile service is in your area although alot of people say samsung phones has bad coverage just read the user review on the t319 and look what others think of it. I know people that have that and dont complain
...
ya ive had tmo since it was still called VS. the coverage is good but ever since ive gotten this phone nothin but dropped calls and extremely poor reception. thats why im askin. thought maybe cuz it was a to go phone that it was limited
...
well, as far as limitations go, i guess you kinda are. togo can only work on the tmobile network, and cannot roam in most places a contracted phone can. but there isnt much of a difference and shouldnt be the major cause of dropped calls. that sounds like the phone.
...
so even if i use my SIM card( which i have a nationwide service play) in a "to go" phone i still cannot roam???
...
Nah, the prepaid phones are the same exact phone as any others. The difference is the SIM card, prepaid service has less roaming than the postpaid.
Your problem is the T319, it just gets poor reception. Shouldve gone with the Stripe, $10 more, but its a MUCH better phone.

well i returned that POS and went back to the 6030. near stellar reception everywhere!!! super loud earpiece, crisp and clear speaker, good basic phone.

To make sure I'm clear... You hvae a T-Mobile plan now. You want a new phone (you know you can upgrade your phone in a t-mobile store too...) and you want to but a T-Mobile prepaid phone..
As long as you have a T-Mobile SIM card, you can put it into any T-Mobile phone (sold as prepaid or not, they are the same phones, just packaged in different boxes/clam shells) and it will work.
So yes... if you buy a T-Mobile ToGo t319 and put your SIM in it, it will work.

However, this represents a fradulent activation and false churn for T-Mobile 😢
...
come again??? fraudulant activation? ok, i paid for the phone for the price they asked no strings attached. what i do with the phone is my problem. i bought it fare and square( or some other oblong rectangle ). boo hoo for t-mo. although i do love my provider
...
And people like you will eventually ruin it for the legit prepaid customers. If this happens enough they will probably not offer any discounts on phones to prepaid customers.
Ignoring the completely obvious reason for the discount and saying "I bought it and its mine to do with what I please" doesnt fly. Look at retail price of the phone, look at prepaid. They discount the phone based on the impression that a person will use the prepaid service. It was not designed for a cheap way to get a phone and not do any extensions.
It is fraudulant, as it is call "False Churn". Ive never heard of it happening, but T-Mobile would be in their rights to terminate your service, though I do doubt they ever would.
Lots of people have done it (Walma...

lol no im not 65 + hahaha. but i do believe that carriers aren't in the business of hustling phones. the real money comes from the service and the 2 year life sentence. And dont tell me that the high execs who come up with these things didn't think of people like me. come on now. all the phones on the prepaid service are what??? entry level freebie phones. (minus the sidekick. No where does it say that I, as a post paid customer cannot buy a to go phone and use it with my existing sim. your just being a very patriotic whistle blower. dont cry for t-mobile, as i assure you they wont go banckrupt for my criminal intentions. 😁 😁
...
It does not say anywhere on the box that the phone must be used for prepaid service. Tmobile is probably selling these phones at cost with the hope the customer would use it as a prepaid phone. If they were worried about these phones being used for prepaid service only, they would program them in some way so they could only be used for prepaid service. Since prepaid phones are more often than not sold to people who cannot get regular phones due to bad credit, I doubt Tmobile would price these phones at a loss.
