**ace587** · 01-05-2009, 10:57 PM

So i just found out that Tmobile $59.99 plan which consists of

1000 anytime
Unlimited Text
Unlimited BB

is gone

, anyone have this plan? i asked a lot of bb users and most ddnt know about this plan, i want to see how many grandfathered users there are in here

Tmobile changed its plans Nov 16 2008 afaik

I have that plan. It was called BlackBerry minutes and mail BIS. I love it! And the included tethering rocks my socks! Has saved me from adding internet to pile of bills.

Yup, that's the plan I'm on too! It's great, cuz I barely talk anymore, just IM, text, email... hahhaha

I want to look into tethering too... seems like a good idea, and I could sure use that $50 a month I waste on internet...

**ace587** · 01-06-2009, 06:26 PM

Man I want this plan so bad lol. Wonder if there's anyway I could get it even when they're not offered anymore. I have luck with sprints old plans and I'm not sure if I cud do the same with tmobile

What I did with sprint is that the current plan holder mirror the same plan on his/her account therefore a duplicate plan and that plan will be transferred to a new user via 3 way call with a customer rep. Any tmo reps can chime in on this?

It's worth a shot, you know?

When I got my Curve at the TMo store, the girl didn't set me up with that plan, but I'd seen it online I think, and had to call in the next day and switch it, once I realized she had made the mistake...

**ace587** · 01-06-2009, 07:03 PM

i tried that last time and got shot down

**MissV84** · 01-06-2009, 08:08 PM

Oh! That's the same I pay and I only get 300 anytime but I get unlimited weekends. That's really all that changed from the plan I'm on and the one you are talking about. I'd ove the plan ya'll are talking about if someone can figure if there's a way.

damn!!

The Minutes and Mail plan is gone....

well, I knew the whole "3G is coming to TMo" thing would end up with us getting our rates hiked.

I didn't even think about looking recently... and I did not even notice. I knew all of the data plans got re-done, but never even looked into the Minutes & Mail plans. I guess I can't recommend that to anyone any longer

**ace587** · 01-06-2009, 09:51 PM

i know i hope theres a way in getting the plan, maybe a call to retentions?

add the 12% discount from the other thread and youll be paying just around $60/month with taxes

**Blkbear** · 01-06-2009, 11:28 PM

Yup, too bad the BlackBerry Mins plan is no longer around. When I got it, it included unlimited text messages of all types. The 1000 mins helps, just wish it included unlimited UMA calling. Oh well can't have everything (yet).

**ace587** · 01-07-2009, 12:15 AM

i wonder if anyone here who has the plan can try to duplicate it by calling CS. Sprint can duplicate old plans, wonder if Tmo can do the same

Ya know, I was disappointed to find out that I have to pay for MMS msgs... yeah sure, it's only $.20 each, but come on... everything else is unlimited, why not just throw that in too?
Guess they gotta nickle and dime you wherever they can.

**Blkbear** · 01-07-2009, 09:11 PM

Howdy Phishgirl,

That is just how it is, sometimes they offer plans with this included and sometimes not. But if you have unlimited email or BBM you can send pictures that way.

I still have my original Omnipoint family plan with 3 lines and 500 minutes and free weekend/and tm-tm @$50/mo total + $20 for one line BB unlimited internet and email. No contract since I only added phones unlocked

Well at least until something better comes along...

big favor for fellow crackberry users, can anyone ask if they can successfully duplicate their plan if they call CS? i know sprint does it via retentions.

Im in need of this plan badly

my school offers a 15% off so thats no problem, what i need is obtaning the plan, and the only way to do so, is for some fellow crackerry user to mirror his blacberry minutes and mail plan and transfer it over to me. I dont seeany blacberry minutes and mail plan over at celltradeusa and cellplandepot i messged the sellers and no reply. So the only way i cud get one is through a user who grandfathered that plan. Retention wont do anything as i will be a new customer.

>>>>the only way to do so, is for some fellow crackerry user to mirror his blacberry minutes and mail plan and transfer it over to me.

how does 'mirror' work? and, does US TM have roll-over or grandfathered BB plans?

mirror means calling retention and telling them to duplicate the plan on your account. after that you transfer the plan through transfer of liability
