A few days ago I tooted about wanting to borrow or rent a #TMobile device to check out their network.

@arthur suggested I download their app and take advantage of their 3 month trial via eSIM right on my iPhone alongside my current carrier. So fast, so convenient! Really digging the easy setup. And iOS is surprisingly polished with the two carrier experience.

Anyone have ideas on how I can rent or borrow a T-Mobile/Sprint device for a weekend? It’s just to see how their service is down on the farm. OMG I loved writing that.

I’m considering a Calyx subscription which runs on TMo/S network but they aren’t very helpful w/ try before buy, or refunds if it doesn’t work out. Ho hum.

Tip of the day: you can enable #GalaxyWatch6 standalone (kind of) for a kid without an additional phone line.

Result: $7/mo instead of $45/mo total, and one very happy kiddo on #tmobile!

Our case: we moved from a crappy #Gabb watch and $15/mo plan to a fully awesome #GalaxyWatch (better charging, battery life, capabilities) for only $7/mo.

What you need:
* a Galaxy Watch (used, open box, or new)
* an old phone to be the paired device (make sure it can take one of your active Sim cards)
* ability to follow directions
* a bit of patience

Overall:
1. Reset old phone to factory default, set up using kids account (we use Google Family Link so a lot of parent approvals were needed)
2. Set up Galaxy Watch and pair to phone
3. Call/chat with provider to enable standalone wearable device (ask for eSim QR code at end)
4. Swap your sim, enable eSim Test Mode in Galaxy Wearable app, scan QR code, enable plan in app and on device.
