Default T-Mobile does offer data with pay-as-you-go

I pay $30/month for unlimited Internet from T-Mobile and my voice service is $0.20/minute

When I am in Europe, I buy Pay-as-you-go SIMS there, which works out well (and much cheaper than TMobile Europe). So, I am glad that I bought my phone and have the flexibility of an unlocked set.

I should say that the problem with the pay-as-you-go that TMobile has is that it doesn't support data transmission. I found this out after I switched from my old contract (with DID support data). When I feel the need to use data again, I will probably switch to another company that offer PAYG with data. Not having a contract allows this kind of switch and you don't have to change phones, of course.

I would definitely recommend buying your own and then choosing your own carrier. Perhaps a good thing is to start with pay-as-you-go just to see how the coverage is. The P-A-Y-G plans (they all have them) don't have contracts, so you can change whenever you want.

I hope this was helpful.
