Anyone Using Brightspot

[saptech]

I may be giving this a shot with Target's Brightspot Prepaid plan. They are offering one for $35 for 300 voice, unlimited text and 3gb of 4G speed, after that it will be throttled.

Has anyone tried it? What are your thoughts?

Haven't tried it, but it appears Brightspot Mobile only provides HSPA+ data, not LTE.

Still a good deal though.

Brightspot uses T-Mobile's network, which is a good thing since I'm using Tmo $30 prepaid plan. I just need more talk minutes compared to Tmo 100 minutes.

If you're using an HSPA only phone on tmobile and bring it to brightspot you'll have the same exact experience

My Moto G uses HSPA and not LTE.

i have it. Looking at t mobile $30 plan via walmart, but walmart pulled the old sim kits and replaced them with new ones. They say the same thing as brightspot : " up to 4 g speed". That means no more lte for that plan. Walmart called t mobile and you now have to have the $50 plan to get any lte.

The $30 plan is still getting LTE. As evidence, there is a Nexus 5 thread where a user ordered a new SIM, which arrived this last week, and started service with the $30 plan -- and he gets LTE. Since LTE was still on the plan for new users as of July 1, I think it is safe to say that LTE will stay on the plan at least another month; or even longer. When they change the $30 plan, I have little doubt we'll hear a lot of upset people spouting off on these forums.
