Re: Dumb
Exactly! This will not hurt T-mobile one bit. Some BB users will leave and others will just look to unlock devices sold by other carriers.
Not a very liberal return policy
"Phones returned with more than 450 minutes of talk time will not be accepted."
Re: just checked out the viva movil website
This company is just a reseller for Verizon. J Lo invested her money and is also selling accessories which people will buy just because she's involved with it. It doesn't cater to illegals because you need a SSN, etc. and it's a contract plan. Illegals can get other prepaid services which require little or no personal information.
Blackberry services?
Can you even get them(messenger,email etc) with Solavei service?
Re: Alternatives....
This is referring to services used outside the USA in Canada, Mexico, Europe, etc.
Re: Nice!
Contract plans come with a phone subsidy and also offer more coverage(roaming on other carriers networks) which prepaid Gophone doesn't. Contract plans also offers International coverage, faster data speeds, family plans and work discounts. Bring these issues to customers. When they find out they have to pay more for a phone and they might not have coverage when they travel somewhere with a prepaid plan, it changes most people decisions. Of course, you always have people who will go ...
Not that good
You can get the same plan on PP for $55
Re: Wow!!!!!!
I have a Mytouch 3g slide which I purchased used. I was on monthly 4G prepaid for 2 months and they provided me the unlock code when I told them I needed it because I was traveling overseas. Here's all they require from their email.
1. Must be active for 60 days
2. Must have a balance of at least $10.00 or have had a refill placed on the account within the last 30 days
Thank You,

competition and lower pricing will cause this
As pricing goes down, so do the number of customer call reps available. If you can get by with little to no customer service then it will work for you. Next month T-mobile is cutting data roaming down to 10-200mb per month depending on the plan you're on. While some people can live with this, unfortunately I can't so I will have to go to a different carrier.
Re: Great News for Prepaid users
iPhones will work with prepaid carriers like AT&T prepaid Airvoice, H2O, Simple Mobile and T-mobile.I activate them for customers everyday.
Strange that there was no mention of their giving unlimited data on the to go plans
I'm surprised there was no mention here that T-mobile's monthly prepaid $50 plan's data was increased from 100mb to unlimited with the first 100mb at up to 4G speeds. They also offer a blackberry data add on to the plan for $10 more a month. The $70 plan offers unlimited data with what I assume is 4G speeds.

Re: Will there be any prepaid smartphones with these plans?
The details say that it's only mobile web and doesn't support full web browsing. You also have to remember this is only on the Verizon native network. If you are not on their network you have to pay roaming charges of 20 cents a minute and there is no data roaming.
Re: Not The Best Time To Go With T-Mobile
With the no contract plan you are saving $20 a month times 24 months total $480(not to mention the additional taxes each month) I don't see geting many phones for free at that price on contract. The Samsung Galxaxy S and G2 have a s.r. of $499 You still have to pay $199 after discounts/rebates on contract.
Re: Not The Best Time To Go With T-Mobile
It seems they want you to go into a store or maybe call CS about it

Re: Not The Best Time To Go With T-Mobile
First of all you assume that the deal is going to be approved. Second once you sign a contract, if anything is changed in the contract that you agreed upon, you have 30 days to get out of it without having to pay the cancellation fee. If you don't want to sign a contract, they are also offring even more plus for $59.99

This why they will grandfather plans as long as you don't upgrade with a new ...
A good start but......
Still too expensive. At&t Go phone offers the same $2 a day on the days used and includes text messages(international also). The pay by the minute plan is just 10 cents a minute (no daily fee also). The Go phones also come with $15-$50 credit not $10.
Re: Miss one bill?
The info on their website says "If you miss a payment you don't have to start over. The on-time payments made to the account will still be credited towards your next savings milestone." so that's good. Hopefully it will force some of the other carriers to do the same thing or offer something better.
For $40 on Virgin Mobile you get unlimited data
For $40 a month on the Virgin Mobile MIFI you get unlimited data and a larger coverage area.
Re: Sounds like a great idea, but only if...
Right and I am sure that's what they are counting on down the line. Also who knows after 12 months or 18 months who knows there maybe be something better out there. The bottom line is cheaper isn't always better.
Re: $30 per month buys 1,500 talk and text with 30MB of data
It's a combination of the two equaling 1500 with Pageplus you get 1200 minutes and 1200 texts.
Re: $30 per month buys 1,500 talk and text with 30MB of data
The talk and text is mixed not 1500 talk and 1500 text so Pageglus 1200 talk and text and 50mb data is still better.

Here is a link for the service and the phones available.

Re: Walmarts thinking?
Tuyo mobile is an MVNO that uses T-mobile's network. It is geared to the Hispanic Market.
Re: Walmarts thinking?
It would be great if it did like with Tuyo Mobile. The rollover data and discounted international calling is a plus. 100mb comes with the activated account.

Re: What is the point of this?
Correction the $3 Blackberry plan will end up costing $30 more $90 total for 1 month WOW
Re: What is the point of this?
Basically it lets the user pay per day instead of shelling out $50 ahead of time. So now a $10 refill is good for 5 days. They also offer a $3 a day blackberry plan. On the $2 plan it will end up costing $10 more this way but be the same price on the blackberry plan. You have the option of switching it so you can upgrade or downgrade.
Re: Sure would be nice to see a cheap nunlimited 2-line family plan!
Pageplus has been around since 1993. Simple Mobile just started up last year. If you want a major carrier with Nationwide roaming included then T-mobile's even more plan with everything for $80 a month is the best option.
Re: Sure would be nice to see a cheap nunlimited 2-line family plan!
ok if that's the case then you can get Simple Mobile on a Nationwide Gsm network 100mb data $50 Unlimited $60. It works with T-mobile or Unlocked gsm phones including the iPhone.
Re: Sure would be nice to see a cheap nunlimited 2-line family plan!
Pageplus cellular offers Unlimited talk, text and 20mb of data for $45 a month. So two lines for $90 is good.
Re: AT&T... You're up!
Simple mobile offers a unlimited talk,text and data plan for $60 a month with Nationwide coverage. It works with an unlocked iPhone.
but not Blackberry email?
I don't think it would it include Blackberry email as this is a subscription service. If this is the case, it's kinda pointless to buy the Blackberry instead of another device.
Re: Coverage?
Coverage is on the T-mobile 1900 mhz band and 3G. across the US including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. You can use T-mobile phones or unlocked phones including Blackberry and I-phone.They also including international texting and low international calling rates.
