Tmo - Project Black

[dlaciv12]

my current is less than any of these also . i guess it pays to be a long time tmo customer wit a family plan of 4 lines ( $50 unlimited calls , texts , mms... +$25 unlimited data )

Is that $50 per line, then $25 for data per line? You can't be at $75/mo for 4 lines! I gotta call someone and raise some hell!

If they call through your GV number it doesn't matter, the call will still be free. Its not that complicated to set up but there are special instructions on how to do it.

Oh your are referring to sipdroid?

new plans look good to me, i get 750 min + unlimited txt on my family plan for $90, so the new plans basically add data in for me for free. but unlike everyone else, it seems, i've only been with tmo since the beginning of the year. the cost would be way more if we were actually paying the $35 per phone to get unlimited data and txting on our G1s, it would come out to like $140 i think. i'm pretty sure they are trying to grow their customer base, so they don't care about the old customers, it's the new ones they are trying to get signed up.

That would be a terrible business model. If they don't keep the current customers happy, getting new customers won't help their business since it would only REPLACE the current base, rather than ADD to it.

It's the truth though. Cell companies always tend to have better options for first time signups.

Hmm you can get a AAA discount with Tmobile? I'll have to look into that!

Yup, 13% off.

I can confirm the 13% for AAA membership. Just called and it saves me over $20/mo.

So now I have grandfathered in:
2 unlimited Loyalty Family Plan lines...........................................$9 0
3rd unlimited line added............................................. ....................$40
1 unlimted data + 400 text (plenty).......................................... ......$25
Total............................................. .................................................. ..$155/mo
Already the cheapest anywhere, now less AAA discount.......-$20
Final total (less taxes and fees of course).................................$135/mo

That's a VERY good deal for 3 unlimited lines and 1 3G phone. No other carrier can touch it, including T-Mo's Project Dark Even More + no-contract plans. And I can still get subsidized phones if I re-up fo r2 years (though I probably won't, going to unlocked generic phones).

PLUS...the N900 I have on pre-order plays nice with T-Mo's 3G.

Been happily with T-Mo for 12 years. Looks like I'll be with them a few more. Thank goodness for grandfathered plans...

Crashdamage, let us know when you get your N900 and what you think about it. I was looking into that too but I'm just not sure about leaving Android os, it has really grown on me and Android is growing and changing so fast I don't want to miss anything, LOL.

I would love it if you gave us what you like about the N900, what you don't and how it compares to Android from your perspective.

I might just get one too!

Thanks
