So T-Mobile found a way to offer more for less money than the competition and make it easy to compare these packages for potential customers and that’s a bad thing? Great you don’t want text messaging, don’t use it. But you still have 400 included to cover texts from people you don’t know, and you still have enough left over for your drunken lonely text to the text chat line, and you’re STILL paying less than AT&T prices! Someone please explain how this is bad. Please.

As far as the not wanting stuff bundled, I agree with that, not everyone wants things bundled like that, now the prices are only on data phones such as pda’s, any other phone web n walk is 10 bux and includes 200 messages without a data cap. The 50mb and 100mb cap are for the shadow and any unlocked pda phone. It is also to note that anyone who has data already won’t be affected as those plans are getting grandfathered. Roger I completely agree with u but looking at it from a business standpoint, tmobile has spent a lot of money, and bundling 2 things that most customers already have together guarantees them extra revenue that otherwise they technically weren’t guaranteed. Anyways just my 2 cents. To avoid the fees aand changes this is why I sell phones for a living.

I think the people who were using the $ 5.99 T-Zones app to get “unlimited,” data on their notebooks for tethering purposes are the ones who are upset at these changes assuming they switch devices anytime soon.

For BlackBerry users like me, these new prices are fair and well within line of the competition. The other carriers charge $ 30 for the BIS and do not allow free PAM or give you any free messaging ability.

T-Mobile includes PAM and 400 bundled messages on their BIS plan at $ 24.99. Not bad. I hear they are going to give us free Hot Spot access too nationwide.

Great. just more SHIT (AKA CARRIER SPAM) that they are going to start shooting down to my BlackBerry?

Thanks.

We should get paid for all the spam applications they send down to us. Or at least be able to opt out or get a discount if we allow them to send us that crap.

Luis…

Not quite… T-Zones and T-Mobile Web (which was rebranded what, last year?) were both UNLIMITED access to the data in that respect. The new “web2go” is either 50MB or 100MB, making any application that requires an internet connection, something to look at again…

I have Sprint Navigation, and while it doesnt use a LOT of data, as 50MB and 100MB might be a lot. I can say, the amount I MAY use it could EXCEED 50MB per month. Additionally, some people DO NOT WANT messaging BUNDLED in.

Seen the Vonage commercial about BUNDLING? The price to bundle didnt go down, but now you have 2 services, when you only wanted ONE!

The data for the tmob is going up but in all technicality they’re the same price they’re just bundling it differently. Before if u wanted messaging u added it so now its just included. 25 dollars gives u unl data and 400 messages. Before data was 20 and 400 messages would have cost u 5. The new data plans resemble the g1’s data plans now.

It would be nice if t-mobile focused on getting users a windows mobile phone that suppoted their new 3g netowrk, instead of this bull.

Yahoo stock doesn’t go up.

Yahoo – Uhh, Yahoo? Whats that? Didnt the CEO screw them out of some buyout?

Google – Oh I remember them, they were the largest Search Engine in the 2000’s.

THINK ABOUT WHO YOU WANT IN YOUR PHONE!?
