The T-mobile experience is okay for a light user who sticks to wifi for web access. Otherwise it is a very poor shell of the iPhone/smartphone experience. It works for me because I make about 15 minutes of calls a month, send 5-10 text messages and never use data.
A better option MIGHT be Straight talk.. buy a sim card, put it in, follow some very simple online instructions to activate data - $48/month with taxes for unlimited talk/text and 2GB data from the Verizon network at 4G speed. It is what we put on my son's 4s. You do "officially" give up MMS, but there are hacks that will allow it to work too.
