I ran out of texts last month so I upgraded to the $35 unlimited txt g1 plan. I was going to do it just for one month and go back to the $24 with 400 texts plan next month (they’ve let me do it a bunch of times). Turns out I can’t now. I didn’t know they made these changes and now I’m stuck with the $35 plan…. :(

What are you talking about?

I’ve been with T-Mobile when they were VoiceStream and prior to that, PowerTel and to date there are users who have the $2.99 Unlimited T-Zones which later became T-Mobile Web $5.99 and is today Web2Go $9.99. I’m not aware of anybody who has their plans terminated by force let alone put into a more expensive plan by whatever name it’s called.

I’ve been giving the MyTouch3G some thought and while I prefer Windows Mobile OS and the TouchPro2; T-Mobile has put it’s financial stake into the MyTouch3G and the $199 price with 2 year extension is very, very attractive now that the TouchPro2 with it’s $349.99 price is now available.

Don’t tell me T-Mobile isn’t paying attention to what Verizon and AT&T are doing with their data plans; they are. It’s a hard sell for someone like myself who pays $5.99 for the internet and it works on every device to contemplate paying $24.99 for the exact same level of service.

Now unless someone has T-Mobile’s June 2009, not June 2008 Terms & Conditions, who wants to tell me that my plan is not a data plan when it works?

I’ve been with TM and Company, 12 years and trust me when I say, I’m frustrated by what appears to be a company that acts no different than it’s 3 bigger brothers when it use not to be this way. There’s no getting around the formula revenue per customer and sugar coating it into whatever they think we’re dumb enough to fall for.

I currently have the old $24.99 plan that comes with the 400 texts… so if I switch to the new Android $24.99 plan, i’ll still keep my 400 text msgs?

Also, has anyone used the Visual Voicemail? I was reading through the comments in the Market and I saw that people were complaining that it didn’t sync. You still had to call your voicemail to delete them. Deleting them in the program doesn’t delete them in the dial-in voicemail. That’s what I read, by a number of people.

Oh forgot Google Voice also has visual voicemail……

If you are using Google Voice which gives you SMS why would you pay additional $ for SMS?

Sounds like they know they are going to get a influx of new customers this week. So its time to screw them. I wanted to be one of those new customers, part of the reason I was going to go with the android phone is the cheaper data when compared to AT&T. I mean now there is almost no difference, except you get a smaller network, and a phone that does not quite match up to the iphone. Frustrating move by T-Mobile.

I added another G1 line to my account two weeks ago for my brother. I was able to get him on the $25/mo. unlimited data + 400 messages plan. Then again, this was an additional line on my existing account, so it may have been grandfathered in or the customer service rep just didn’t want to argue with me over it.

This is just in my experience, but t-mobile usually allows people with “grandfathered” plans to keep them indefinitely until they change it, and those plans become unavailable except those who had them. I’ve been with them about 4 years and had that happen a few times, but they let me keep it as long as I wanted (as far as I know, since I changed plans of my own free will when I did it)
