I was web-shopping to see what good deal I can catch to get a z10 for give away,
and it's interesting how Verizon and AT&T drop the prices of the z10 and T-mobile
still asking for a lets $500.00 upright, or $11.75 x 24 with a $249.99 down payment,

in the other side Verizon it's asking for $299.99 upright or $12.72 x 24 without down payment.

and AT&T it's asking for $339.99 upright or $15.00 x 20 without down payment,

it's interesting how T-mobile said the phones are not selling and they have to pulled out the stores,
but my thing it's, how you gonna sell if you competition with much better networks have better prices,

don't know, that was something I have in my head, what you guys think?

Each network had their way they prefer to work it. Either way, they plan to get their money.

T-Mobile's pricing is like that because after you pay off the full retail value of the Z10, or any phone, your plan is ridiculously cheap.

roger that,

Also, if you travel internationally, check out their new plan which, at the end of Oct., puts international calling at $.20/min in many countries. (Not to mention wifi-calling that only they have).

[GJW]

And let's also not forget they are not locking you into any contract commitments

neither AT&T Next or Verizon Edge don't lock you on a 2 years contract,

edit: my bad, I didn't notice I miss the "don't'" the first time, I notice the error few min later,

Wifi calling on the 9900 was flawless. The current T-Mobile update with wifi calling is not so good. Can't wait for BB 10.2.

Outright price = no contract

AT&T Z10

T-Mobile plan is lower than those.

I just checked eBay... The BlackBerry Z10 (New T-Mobile Branded) is going for $300 - $500 dollars.

I hear it's something with the hardware of the 9900 been different
I hear than a software fix can't make the z10 or q10 work flawless as the 9000,

I know that, but they asking too much for downpayment
and upfront they still asking more than $500.00
when AT&T and Verizon for upfront are asking around the $300.00

That's because T-Mobile isn't going to bother trying to entice people with the Z10. It's not worth it for them. The Z10 isn't selling well and it's not a phone that's going to draw people to T-Mobile.

You can just buy it unlocked from Blackberry direct for $400. Or you can just buy it used on eBay for about $200 or new off ebay for around $300. I went to T-Mobile and I bought mine off of eBay for $350. Came with a high quality case ($35 MSRP) and a high quality screen protector ($15 MSRP). I'm doing a family plan with 3 other people and because I prebought my phone I'm paying $35/month for unlimited minutes,unlimited text, 2.5GB of high speed data. And I'm not on contract.

Hard to beat that. Throw in WiFi calling (now you can make/receive phone calls and SMS even if you have 0 cellular signal as long as you're connected to a good WiFi source) and in a little international text and data and you have a winner. For me the places where I frequently am without bad reception have WiFi so it's a "must" for me.

Must disagree. The new IMS wifi-calling is the best version they've had since original UMA (which my wife still has on her Bberry). I recently got back from Europe, used wifi-calling in a/p lounges, at gates, hotels, and restaurants. Did two conference calls and the consistent comment was "you sound like you're next door." On my end it was crystal clear. Also, I use it 100% of the time at home as service for all carriers where I live sucks. I always set the phone for "wifi-only".

Plan may be cheap but their service is ridiculously bad compared to the competition.

As a US user who travels a bit, TMO is the way to go for me with the new free (yes, I know, nothing us free) worldwide data as part my unlimited plan and 20 cents a minute call backs to US. Oct 31 it gets turned on...yes!

If you drink the kool aid poured by other carriers. I can roam free on at&t anywhere in the US I do not get t-mo. Not to mention unparalleled overseas usage thanks to both wifi-calling (can be used domestically BTW) and their new $.20/min overseas plan. I was at a mountain resort last week, where there was 100% zip cell reception from any carrier. Wifi-calling meant I had complete coverage.

[Douken]

This is how I went.

$532 cash for phone

$78 USD a month

Unlimited Calls
Unlimited Text
Unlimited LTE with no caps (have used over 20GB of data in one month with no problems or speed downgrade, usually 20Mbps here in Los Angeles)
+
Insurance
No contact whatsoever


Try getting that in any other company



You are now in my Bingo Book

[nexact]

T-Mobile took $25.00 off my monthly bill and no longer trapped in a contract. So I pay $12.00/ month for my z10. All other carriers bill you the same and you still pay for your phone.
