Why is T-mobile so expensive?

[Harry_Yambag]

Here is a quick rundown of my plan and costs. All I ever hear is how great they are when it comes to price (which would explain their **** poor coverage) but why am I paying the same as my bro does for his 2 BB's on verizon?

my faves 400- 69.99
unlimited texts- 19.95
BB data- 24.99/phone (2 BB's)

After insurance and "taxes" my bill is $165. It seems to me the only way t-mob is "cheap" is if you have some long gone plan that you were grandfathered over with.

Just had to vent a lil.

whoa, i pay 150 for 2 bb's on sprint unlimited data unlimited text and mms unlimited mobile to any mobile on any network unlimited nights and weekends and 3000 anytime minutes for land lines (never go over 300 min a month between 2 phones, and me and the Mrs talk alot) you could get the same plan i have on sprint for $69.99 for 1 phone, u can't beat it. and the data speeds are much better the tmobile...

You are getting smoked dude.... 20 bucks for unlimited texts is INSANNNNNNNNNNNNE. That is five time MORE than I pay for TWO phones. And 69.99 is pretty expensive for only 400 minutes.

I have the same plan, the main thing with the price is the myfaves, five phone numbers per device, unlimited calling. For people like us, that have very few contacts outside of tmobile, it works fine. Any of the newer plans would cost us at least 10% more.

Yeah, those prices suck, especially considering it's on TMo....I can't believe people actually use TMo, but that's for a different thread.

I have 700 mins on VZW for 59.99 (before my 25% discount) and unlimited text is $10. BB data is 29.99

How about calling TMobile and getting them to adjust your plan? I have two Blackberry's on my account. We have unlimited data/text/minutes, and the total bill is $150/month after all taxes.

Thats a pretty ignorant thing to say...

[Harry_Yambag]

To everyone that says I'm taking it in the rear, can you please tell me what plan you have and what you pay? I've tried calling t-mob (a few times actually) and they never have any way of me saving any money, NEVER. Are you guys long time customers getting perks that new customers cant?

1. $20 for unlimited texts does sound insane but to drop down would only save me like $5....not worth it.

2.To the poster with unlimited everything for less than I pay....How? Really? help me please.

3. in case i wasnt clear, this is for 2 BB's.

[Pi Guy 3.14]

Well regardless, tmobile has cheaper prices than any of the big 4... so whether your taking in the rear or not, tmobile has the best prices. Your prices arent that bad for 2 lines.

How long have you been a customer?

I pay about 140 total (with taxes and everything) for 600 minutes, unlimited web x2, unlimited texts x2, insurance x2.

[Harry_Yambag]

I've only been with them for a year.

[Pi Guy 3.14]

So I take it you're still under contract? Unfortunately at this point I don't think there is anything you can do.

Why did you agree on those prices in the first place? Its really hard to compare prices to other companies b/c so many different factors apply.

[D_March]

I pay 59.99 before taxes for one line with 500 minutes, unlimited tmobile to tmobile, nights and weekends and unlimited texts and data for BB.

[Harry_Yambag]

Yeah, Im still under contract. I switched because of my fiancé. She talks to her fam all the time who are all on t-mob and I rarely talk so it made sense at the time.

[TequilaAddict]

Is the 69.99x 2 or is it that amount for both phones? Also, look at your total of
texts for the month to see if you really need the unlimited.

Since you have data/email on your phones, try to use email instead of text whenever
you can.

[Harry_Yambag]

the 69.99 covers both phones
