What Carrier compares to T-Mobiles Plans?

There is not one person I know that currently has another carrier that doesn't have something negative to say about their carrier.

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

I have Sprint, and nothing negative to say. Happy with my service, price, and phone.

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.

I would think that even with bigger prices (+$20/month/phone for unlimited talk/text I think on AT&T/Verizon on contract), having better coverage would also play into the mix.

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.

T-Mobile charging less off-contract is iffy for me. I can see both sides of the situation.

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.

Bills only go up if you get a subsidized phone on T-Mobile.

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.

If you worked in a store you would know the answer to this one:

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)

You look at phones like the Gravity that can be bought for $80...

$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...

Sprint is going to be your best option because most businesses still use them, believe it or not. Sprint also has some really good business plans they don't advertise or share with the general public. Worth looking into.

Sprint's everything plan comes with unlimited mobile to mobile but puts a limit on its landline mins. (which tey dont say in their commercials) I know some people don't call landlines but why take a chance that "this" phone call is eating up mins when you can go unlimited completely with Tmobile. Plus Tmobile now is offering 5$ add a lines.

T-Mobile's plan does not include data or PTT, so it's basically useless for someone who needs email access or or other business related apps.

And fyi, the commercial specifically says "unlimited calling to any cell phone." Otherwise it would be false advertising.

No. Simply Everything is not the same as Everything Data plans which you are referring to.
