Plans??

[Paul22000]

I'm considering buying the $97 phone from Amazon's recently posted deal: http://www.amazon.com/T-Mobile-G1-Ph.../dp/B001JT1U1E

But I'm wondering, can you switch your plan after you sign a 2 year contract or no? The lowest plan listed on Amazon is the $40 / 600 minute one, but I'd like the $30 / 300 minute one:

Can you switch your plan or do they lock you into the plan you sign up with?

I can't give you any advice, becuase you'll be the first person I know to get one off of Amazon.

Good Luck!

The purchase price of your device reflects an instant discount of $250 that has been provided to you by Amazon.com based on your agreement to (a) activate a new, non-substitute line of service in connection with this device, and (b) maintain this service with the selected rate plan in good standing for a minimum of 181 consecutive days.
By accepting this equipment discount, you agree that for a period of 181 days after your new equipment is activated, you will not:
·disconnect this line of service
·change your service plan to one with a lower monthly rate (e.g., from $59.99 to $29.99)
·cancel required plan options such as BlackBerry or PDA/Smartphone data features
·transfer this device to another line of service
·fail to pay your balance due each month
If you do any of the above you will be subject to additional charges by Amazon.com of up to $250, plus applicable taxes.

This was available via the 'Read more details here' bit of the page you linked to on Amazon.

Ha Ha!!!

I guess people really don"t read the small print

Wow, good find.

Another question for G1 users... I thought it said 400 text's a month for the $25 data plan, but it says email too... Is that right?? T-Mobile keeps track of how many emails you get??

Ha Ha,

No, they don't

No, they don't

Awesome!

One more question: are there any hidden other charges with T-Mobile? Like with Verizon, I'm forced to pay for "insurance". And taxes haha...

[Paul22000]

Oooh, one more... Has anyone been able to successfully port their number over? I'm coming from Verizon and I'd like to keep my number.

I called T-Mobile and they said you cannot do it since it's through Amazon. Then I called Amazon's call center and they said you CAN... What the hell... Haha

When I originally moved from AT&T/Cingular to TMobile they ported my number over without issue. I don't see why purchasing a phone/contract from Amazon would prevent your number from being switched over, but it may be something that you have to do after buying the phone/contract.
