Can the switch be made from one of the even more plus plans, or should some random prepaid plan be purchased first instead?

If these plans are deprecated, or simply unavailable to new customers, are there other offerings by any company that give the ability to use excessive Data and Text capabilities while purchasing voice minutes on the go?

CLD is only useful and will you be transferred to them if you have been a customer for full 22 months otherwise NO. So being a new customer you wont get that privilege. Yes there is a 10 plan which they have got away with since everybody started to use it on phones like n900 where it was made for dumb phones. All together they do not offer any similar low cost unlimited plan to new customers.

I cannot think of any USA carrier that will give you unlimited text and web while you pay as you go on the voice minutes, there used to be sidekick plan where you would pay 25 (used to be 20) and get unlimited text and web, you might want to look into it since they do not carry any of the sidekick brands any-more.
One another thing that Tmobile lets you do is, transfer of ownership which no other carrier anywhere lets you do, what this basically is that if someone is on the contract for more than 12 months and wants someone they know to take over his/her contract while also getting him/her out of contract early with out any penalty. You can look around on your circle and see if someone is going to switch to another carrier from Tmobile and you can take over their grandfathered plan, but keep in mind that the person going to switch from Tmobile and willing to transfer the contract to you cannot port the number to the carrier they are going to switch too. Also you will be using the same number they had, do not worry after 5-11 days of you having that number on your name you can call and pay 15 bucks and get your number changed to a new one.
