Is it possible to get a tablet plan nano SIM and use it in an iPhone? In other words, use it for free data in other countries without text/voice service? An online chat with T-Mobile says yes. The only recent discussion I saw about this was several years ago. For example,

I ordered several phone SIMs and one tablet SIM. They all came in the same packaging but one of the "phone" numbers was very different than the other (similar) ones. That was one that I originally put into a phone and it did not work. Couldn't activate. I then put it in the ipad and it worked fine. So I think I can say from this experience that a tablet SIM doesn't work on a phone.
The SIM comes in three sizes (all in the same package), including nano, FYI.
