What Carrier compares to T-Mobiles Plans?
Does anyone know of another major carrier that has identical pricing More or Flexplans like T-Mobile?
We have to admit the $70 unlimited Talk and Text really works for our business. We can't be limited to calling cell phones and watching minutes. We need unlimited talk and text.
A unbiased suggestion is requested.
Thanks
For needing a lot of features, or having a family plan with smartphones, I feel Sprint really has it covered. $129.99 for my two phone is approx. $65.00/phone, with unl. text/data, Any Mobile Anytime, 1500 shared minutes for landlines (And NW 7PM-7AM, so over half the time they aren't even used). No extra cost for common smartphone features, like GPS service and picture/videomail.
But, for needing a strictly unlimited text/talk plan, especially for a business that would be getting lots of landline calls, the $70.00 Unl Talk/Text is a good package.
Boost - Unlimited Talk/Text/internet $50/month.
AT&T GoPhone - Unlimited Talk/Text $60/month
Virgin Mobile - Unlimited Talk/Text $60/month
Only T-Mobile has the travesty that is Flex-pay. I wouldn't wish that garbage on my worst enemy. When I sold T-Mobile, I had more problems with that crap than I want to remember.
Only T-Mobile actually charges *LESS* when you aren't in contract (Either bring your phone, or after contract expires). Something I wish more carriers would do.
On one hand, it keeps customers off-contract from wanting to leave, because they are getting a good deal.
On the other hand, how would a customer take it when they find out their bill will go up if they purchase a new phone with a 2-year?
For that scenario alone, I'm kind of happy that my provider is steady on the prices on or off contract.
I think it's scandalous that someone who's had a phone for 5 years pays the same per month as someone who just got a new phone... there should be a discount.
Or for someone who pays full retail for a phone.
Here is the phone:
you can pay 199 now and 80 a month for your contract
of you can pay 529 now and 60 a month for your contract.
Customers will (rarely) see the monthly payment, only the smaller initial investment.
That's why it's such a great balance for US carriers. most people will STILL get the contract because they think paying more than 200 for a phone is "too much." even if they'll pay SIGNIFICANTLY more over the course of the 2 years (assuming they even stay 2 years at the no contract price)
$80 for a gravity and $10/20/month less per month?
If I was a parent, this would be the plan my kid would be on hands down.
Break the phone? buy a new one. Don't have the money because your a brat of a kid? no contract and it gets turned off (until you save up).
Don't like the phone? Save up your allowance/job money and get the better phone on your own dime.
Or it'd be a GoPhone as an add-a-line on my family plan, since you can't beat $10/month with a stick ($20 with unlimited data, for a family phone on AT&T since we already have family texting)... plus all the same perks as above, with the requirement of being on my plan.but I do like T-Mobiles cheaper/month v...
