Is it possible to get the $30 plan with an existing phone, as long as you're new to T-Mobile? It looks like I could just order a SIM card from t-mobile and then select the nerd plan when activating.

**I thought I had an unlocked phone, but I was wrong, and apparently Sprint phones use CDMA anyways. Regardless, if I just want to get an unlocked Galaxy from wherever's cheapest, can I do that? Will the $30 plan be around in five months if I just wait for the galaxy S5 to exist?

As far as I'm aware there are no plans to cancel the $30 plan - that said it's a prepaid plan, so they have no contract to provide service - it could probably change at any time.

If you're on Sprint, you might consider taking your phone to Ting instead - I've heard good things about them.

As for the $30 plan - I ordered mine through Wal-Mart's website, picked it up locally, and activated it online at home, then popped the SIM into my phone, and it worked fine. It's an excellent plan - just be warned you'll go through the 100 minutes pretty fast if you're like me. I recommend Rebtel for it's cheap calling rate (1.5 cents per minute) and excellent integration with android, or Skype for calls over LTE or Wifi.
