The other day, I received an email from someone who said that she was interested in the "new pink mini iPhone clone" but she was a T Mobile customer and did not want to have to switch carriers. She wanted to know if she could stay with the same network should she decide to purchase this phone. First, I had to clarify that she was discussing CECT KA08 which is often dubbed the mini iPhone. She didn't know the name of the phone, but I determined what she meant. I'll tell you what I told her in the following article.
All GSM Sim Carriers (Including T Mobile) Will Work Fine With The Mini KA08: One very cool thing about these clones is that they don't require any long term commitment or contract. In today's economy, this can be very appealing. If you get tired of the phone or see a new model that you'd rather have, then you can simply just switch out your GSM sim cards. You don't have to wait for the contract to be up and you don't have to pay for features that you aren't using. In other words, there is no need to have the same bill each month. It can vary based on what services you buy for that month (if you are opting for pay as you go.)
Sprint Cs
With that said, this is limited to companies that go with GSM sim cards. So, CDMA carriers like virgin mobile, sprint, metro pcs, and verizon won't work with these phones. But if you're using a GSM carrier, this phone gives you a lot of options. It's tiny, yet powerful with dual sim slots, web browsing, shake and tilt, email, MMS, SMS, bluetooth, FM radio, camera and web cam, and MP3 / MP4.
A Monthly Plan, Prepaid, Or Pay As You Go With T Mobile And The Mini iPhone: As of this writing, you have a lot of options with T Mobile. Many people who are attracted to the mini iPhone clones really like the pre paid option. You really have two choices here. You can "pay by the day" or "pay as you go." If you go with the daily option, you pay per day (which you are only charged on the days you use the phone) and then 10 cents per minute. You can talk for free to other T Mobile customers from 7pm to 7am.
With the "pay as you go," you basically buy refill cards that contain minutes. When you use the phone, you're charged the minutes and must refill them when they run out or expire. There are several options for cards. Examples are 30 minutes for , for 130 minutes, for 500 minutes and 1000 minutes for 0. The 0 card lasts for an entire year. This puts your bill at less than per month if you don't use all of those minutes.
There is also a monthly "flex plan" with T Mobile which doesn't require a credit check, deposits, overages, or fees. And this plan is where "my faves" comes in. Basically you can chose any five numbers on any network to get unlimited calling to. You don't use your minutes for these five people. Plus you get unlimited nights and weekends. 300 additional minutes on this plan is per month and the prices go up from there. If you want to omit the "my faves" option, then the price goes down to .
As you can see, there are many options here. The person who sent the email may well have liked her current plan and would only need to switch out the sim card, but there are many other options available to her.
