If I could collect your $30/month I’d give you a T-mobile line :P

Anyone here with ACP that's using Verizon? Any decent service plans that avlb?
 Trying to help a guy out. But honestly not familiar which services are avlb for acp customers. 
 Obviously something that would entirely be covered under ACP without needing to lay out any money.

i just got this
Hello,
It seems that the ACP benefit will be extended for another year.
The Senate is supposed to vote on the details this Thursday.
While we wait for the details to unfold, our carrier offered to fund the next 2 weeks to avoid any lapse in coverage.
We'll keep you posted with relevant updates as needed.

Any carrier with lots of ACP lines would do this. They’re hoping it’ll get extended and put another government-funded $360/year per line in their pockets.

There is an unadvertised TMobile hotspot line for $10/15 a month for hotspots. On SD there is a thread for it.

Looks like T-Mobile is offering a hidden $10 hotspot plan ($15 before Auto pay). This is for consumer and business accounts. It's for BYOD hotspot devices only and connected laptops (so no phones or tablets). Looks like you will have to contact T-Mobile to get this. There will be a $35 activation fee as well. See the attached flyer and link for more info.

Hello, here are a few more images (attached) and some info regarding the consumer version of this plan.

The SOC code for the plan is MI30TI for taxes included plans (most people) and MI30TE for taxes excluded (those on plans like simple choice that don't include taxes).

I was personally able to sign up for this plan on a new account earlier today via T-Force on twitter (@tmobilehelp). I simply asked for the "Basic Mobile Internet 30GB Plan". I also had a spare SIM card laying around that they were able to activate immediately, and they kindly waived the activation fee (called "DCC" or "Device Connection Charge"). YMMV on if they're able to waive that fee though.

Also, if you ever did the T-Mobile "free trial" that came with the free hotspot to use, that device will technically work for this plan, but you won't have 5G since it's an LTE modem.

There’s a $10 (taxes included) business tablet line (soc code ZB10HSTI), I’m not sure it’s still available

I actually heard from a friend about it some time ago but I’m stuck with my current plan for the duration of the device payoff discount. $8 and change so it’s not worth it.

Maybe, just saying. Either way, ACP might not apply to business accounts.

They waived the activation fee without even asking.
