Rate plans? I found this online:

$49.99 600 Unlimited N/W/myFaves
$59.99 1000 Unlimited N/W/myFaves

M2M can be added to Single 'myFaves' plans for $6.99 per line

This may not be such a great deal for people like me interested in the Blackberry Pearl if they're just going to do completely separate plans for "My Faves". The way I was figuring it, I could do the 1000 minute/month unlimited Blackberry plan for 59.99 and simply add the 10.00 charge to that plan making it 69.00/month. If I have to pay 59.99 for the 1000 minute "My Faves" plan and then add 19.99 for the unlimited Blackberry access, we're talking 90.00/month for the SAME THING! No way I'm doing that.
If "My Faves" is not an add-on service, but rahter a whole different plan package, it will not benefit everyone...especially Blackberry users.
Does anyone have details?

I'm basing my comment on the figures given by djdanska.
mytmobile has stated it more accurately. Like you, I myself am a BB User (8700g). I am waiting for this plan/add on to release too because it'll do me good as well.
I think that is the point.
Old rate plans will still be available. Since My Favs is handset specific, not everyone has to have it.
Also the Pearl will be the only blackberry to use My Favs.
gotta get your facts straight before you start spouting off at the mouth! ๐

Another reason for me to return to T-mobile.
I don't want to talk to everyone unlimitedly just the individual few. ๐ Glad T-mobile is coming out with this.
Hope the fee is $5.
Usually people (at least the ones i know) call only 3-5 numbers the most eg home, work, spouse, parents etc. I have a 59.00 plan with a blackberry data plan. Now i can drop that and go to the cheapest plan and get the new "my fav". This will make my bil go down by $25. In a day where companies like Cingular nickle and dime you to death, T-Mobile is shooting itself in the foot. I rather pay a little more and get all the cool features.
I like T-Mobile because of the fact that they don't nickle and dime you but I also want them to make a lot of money. After all they are a business not a non profit.
what do you guys think. am i making any ...

T-Mobile is not shooting themselves in the foot... T-Mobile is trying to stay ahead of the competition... BTW, Alltel also offers a similar service except I think that they give you up to 10 numbers...
๐คจ
Oh Darn! And just when I was thinking of switching to Alltel too, T-Mobile is soon to release a similar kinda plan/feature for there phones too! Oh well, I'm for sure staying now!
Anyone have any idea if the BB 8700g or the Pearl 8100 will be My Faves Compatible anytime soon?
Information appreciated!
DanaLynn86 said:
The 8100 is "5" capable.
It's a beautiful thing.
What about the 8700g and an old Motorola v. 330? Any chance they'd be capable too?
new and newer phones will be my favs as it's a new plan
Also with us you get 5 numbers per LINE, My Circle, whether or not you have 1 line or 5 lines on a family time plan have a total of 10 numbers.

you can still use your non-myfaves phones...just cant edit the faves on the phone, must use mytmob or the IVR or Care.
You are sadly mistaken my friend! ๐
I checked with two sources within T-Mobile -- the Retail DIRECT STORE! and Cust Care. They both are also in conflict with one another, specifically the Vista Ridge Village store in Lewisville, TX (DFW Metro). Customer Care says no, non My-Faves phones are not able to use the benefits from the My Faves plans while the Retail Store specifically called out in my post here states that this is a network feature that is being integrated in order to create this new set of rate plans and so the minimum requirement is a more rec...

I do understand what you're saying about the drop in revenue for your plan down to a smaller amount. But there's more to it than that.
I don't know the exact numbers, but think about this. Most of us receive unlimited night & weekend calling already and a large number pay for mobile-to-mobile somehow; so depending on the cost of a call - which I assume must be minimal - can it really be costing anything significant to offer unlimited calls to 5 numbers?
The other part is this. How many customers would either stay with or switch to T-Mobile if we had that service. With all the "in network" hype I think we could eliminate that and draw more people because we offer a better valu...
(continues)
this is not a SOC add on!
It's a rate plan (single and family) that only works with certain phones.
this is not a bad idea, just don't abuse the "unlimited" to unreasonable high

๐ณ ๐ฒ Something just doesn't make sense here. All the model names you have mentioned here (RAZR , Samsung t209 , Samsung t319, etc)are phones that exist already prior to the release of the "MY FAVES" plans for both single and family line a/c's. Am I mistaken in saying that the SDA and BB 8700g are also amongst the realm of current/old phone models too? I mean come on, websit...
(continues)
like the my favs razr is the Razr V3 O6
the Nokia 6103 version 2.
blah blah.
I don't my favs is really geared toward business phone users. MDA, SDA, 8700g are highly used by business phone users.
the pearl is a fun black berry and that's why it will be my favs.
my opinion.
My Favs is not a $5 or $10 add on. It is a whole different rate plan.
Customers can change more than 1 my fav number. They can make changes once a month. Those changes take effect immediatly.
Customers can not add 900 numbers, toll free numbers, and international numbers as their my favs.

I understand that but why is a different handset required to do this that's what I don't understand?
Because My Faves is about making it EASIER to call your 5 closest people. When you open the phone, the first thing on your screen are icons of your choosing for your 5 favorite people. You then decide which one you want to contact, and then whether you want to call them, sms then, or mms them.
It's very nice that all your friends have Verizon. Not everyone has that luxery. My sis and 1 brother have Verizon, my mom has T-Mo, my other brother has Cricket, my husband has Verizon (but his company may switch back to Cingular) and my dad has Alltel. And that's not even counting landlines. I...

If they are going to take away M2M, the plan should be the same price and MyFaves should just substitute for M2M.
