T-Mobile Moving Towards Two-Year Plans
Hey, gang... I just read on CNet that T-Mobile's about to start putting a lot of emphasis on signing people up for TWO years, rather than one. On March 1, apparently, they're going to start stripping away some of the good deals on phones they've offered for folks on a one-year contract.
Looks like you've got about a week if you want a cheap phone and a one-year T-Mobile contract. Just thought that might be useful info for some...

Actually, we've been offering 2 yr contracts for handset purchases for a few months now.

Ha ha... exactly, Lost Ramone. From what I've heard, the "discount" on phones with one-year contract is going to be about $50 less than it is now. You'll have to do a two-year to get the full deal.
...
I don't see what the big deal is???? So they will be using two yr contracts to get lower prices OMG hell is freezing over!!! If you HAVE to have a one year contract just pay the higher prices! $50 is nothing anywayz. Besides, locking more people in a two year contract than one year will allow them to get more revenue which in turn will allow them to expand their coverage and roll out some pretty sweet services (UMA for example)

Umm, it's not the end of the world, no. Never said it was. It just seemed like someone might find the information useful, if they're about to buy a T-Mobile phone. Simmer down. 🙂

i dont think it really matters if it is a 2 year deal or a 1 year deal becuase one could always leave and as long as the ETF doesnt double or go up at all then it wouldnt matter.
it wouldnt change my mind at all if i was in a 1 year or a 2 year plan. if the company is providing great service to the consumer then a 2 year plan instead wouldnt really matter to them.
(all in my view)

No plan on ETF's doubling, still going to be the standard 200.00 to the best of my knowledge.
And no, we're not forcing anyone to get a 2 year contract, I still do more 1 year contract Handset purchases than 2 year.
