T-Mobile adds 7PM nights, free mobile to mobile to pre-paid plans

You know the drill by now: a major carrier such as AT&T introduces a new feature, years later T-Mobile makes a feeble attempt at copying it. While T-Mobile has no apparent plans to give its post-paid customers any love, the company has just added 7PM nights and weekends and free mobile-to-mobile calling to its Pay By The Day prepaid plans. Yeah, similar features have been available for as long a we can remember on AT&T and Sprint, with the latter now offering 6PM nights, but who’s counting? Pre-paid has significant drawbacks, but these new features coupled with the lack of contract might be enough to bring some new folks into the fold. Now how about some post-paid love, huh?
Not to be that jerk who says that this is a month old, but yeah, T-Mo introduced this a month ago.

This is super old news, but still totally awesome. I even picked one up and put the SIM in one of my unlocked phones. It works pretty damn well for a second line when I need it. Very cheap and very convenient…

Ah, the usual Tmo bashing even when something good for customers is out. BGR just gets worse and worse.

LMAO! Well The BG isn’t bashing, but who ever wrote this has a gripe! And since you seem to focus on bashing instead of writing accurate reports, I’ll let you in on something: There are NO free weekends on this plan! Make sure everything you write is correct before you start hating…

These To-go plans are really outdated since T-Mobile has something called FlexPay now that allows you to have a regular monthly plan without the contract. You just pay at the beginning of the month instead of at the end and can cancel at anytime. No credit check. Only catch is you must either use your own phone or buy one full price which a lot of people do anyway. Mine is a 1000 minutes a month with free nights an weekends for 39.99.

I think that people are resigned to the fact that this website is supported by AT$T so allowing your author’s to bash the competitor is expected and the actual old news…

I still love BGR no matter who sponsors. Any news on the new iPhone? These discussions on carriers are really putting me to sleep…

99% of the articles bashing T-Mobile are written by Josh, by far the worst and most biased writer on this site. While this is a blog and not real journalism, this one person constantly brings down the integrity of this site with his laughable posts. Might be time to look for a new teammate, BGR.

It is child-like to attack TMO & Sprint as this site seems to want to always do. And opinion is opinion, even if you’re not bright enough to have a logical one. But this post is in the camp of “price of service”, and T-Mobile has always been one of the best. Why not acknowledge that?
Next thing you know, BGR will eat the hype that T-Mobile’s network is the worst, when every credible study I see puts them equal (Verizon) or better (at&t, Sprint) than their much larger competition.

The sidekick has its own plan which is only $20 dollars for unlimited texting and data. I dont think any Tmobile phone has there own voice plan, like a Blackberry voice plan, or motorola voice plan. So dont know where the hates coming from.

By the way I’ve been with T- Mobile since 2004 and never had a problem. Just recently signed a 2 year contract in Feb when I got the LX.

At least T mo is getting coverage, Boost did this weeks before them w/o a peep and am still waiting on Instinct and qchat coverage

But why did they give prepaid the 7 pm nights and not the postpaid customers?

I thought that was funny too, when Boost launched thier’s it didn’t/doesn’t include 7pm n/w, go figure

I’m surprised that they created a new plan but they didn’t add unlimited MMS to the Sidekick prepaid plan. They put in the MMS feature on the new devices but then charge you up the ass for it. Makes it no so appealing.

Um, the updated Sidekick plan that was introduced with the LX and Slide DOES offer unlimited MMS. You might want to contact Customer Care and have your service updated.

There is a Sk Pre-Paid at $1 per-day( the days you use it) for unlimited text, email and net. If you use minutes it charges you like the pay by the day plan. Its been out for a long while now.
