# Unplugged Day 4?

**[Touchlab](https://daily.dev/sources/touchlab)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A personal account of switching from Verizon to T-Mobile's $30/month prepaid plan and using VOIP (GrooVe IP with Google Voice) as a primary calling solution. The author walks through the confusing sign-up process, confirms VOIP works on T-Mobile, and notes the plan's data efficiency for calls. The post ends with a tongue-in-cheek warning not to spread the word about the deal lest T-Mobile discontinue it.
