Carrier just left tmobile store said the 200mb plan needs another

Ugh.

It didn't work for me last night on my iPad 3 (said call T-Mobile) but IS allowing me to turn it on today!

So it seems the two reps I spoke to was correct albeit a little off on the price yet people were saying they didn't know what they were talking about...Bottom line, You do have to pay for something else monthly besides that ipad.
Hate to say I told you so, but I told you so.

Not so! See my post #90 on this thread: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1658873/

I started out using the web form to buy it: the forms didn't work right, so I called and did a verbal order.

Bottom line, some of the reps know what the actual deal is, and some do not.
My rep confirmed that I get the 200 MB free for life and I have the option to get more, and of course they hope I do.
