I'm a T-Mobile prepaid customer. I'm currently on the $30 per month 100 min/unlimited data plan, and I want to keep it.
However, I'd also like to upgrade to a new phone, but frankly the phone selection on the prepaid site is a bit lacking. The phone I actually want is the SGH-T599 - the new Samsung Exhibit - but currently T-Mobile only seems to be selling it on their postpaid website. That site won't let you purchase a phone without also purchasing a postpaid plan...which I don't want or need. Is there any way to buy the phone without also signing up for new service?
I don't understand why I can't just pay full price for whatever phone I want. Especially since T-Mobile seems to be making a big deal these days about how their phones are no longer subsidized, and buying a phone is a totally separate purchase. If that were true, prepaid/postpaid customers would all be able to buy the same phones.
