The plan still sucks though as you need to add free nights for an addition $9.99/month. So technically the nights are not free! If the plan was available with the nights included free, then I'd say you have everyone beat. Until then, please don't talk big as all other SP's have T-Mobile beat hands down.
And when are there going to be better family plans out there? And when is Talk or Walk comnig to Dallas, TX market? If T-Mobile cannot do any better on there family talk plans then I'll port out, it's as simple as tha...

😁 I know what you mean! That plan suck, thats what I told someone on this website, and also back when they first came out with it last year.
Why should you have to pay for nights? I would rather have them take minutes from me for talking on Friday than paying for Unlimited Nights which I currently have on my 600 minutes with Unlimited Nights and Weekend minutes. Please hear to see what I wrote before about another plan:

I don't understand what the big complaint is. If you like not having to pay for nights then stay on the plan that you have now because it fits your needs better. Just because a plan is not to your liking doesn't mean it's a bad plan. there are tons and tons of smart access customers out there who are always looking for a way to get more minutes. . well this is it.

Talk or Walk isn't going to get there. It's being tested in a couple of markets, but my T-Mobile sources tell me that's as far as it will go. And by the way, what exactly do you mean by "better family plans"? Cingular has two lines for $69 with 850 minutes, which is 50 minutes more than the T-Mobile plan at the same price, but otherwise they are comparable or better. Nobody else has a $49 option for two lines. T-Mobile may be slipping in the huge edge they used to have in value over other service providers, but I would say it's a long way from them being "beat hands down." One thing everyone always looks over is the fact that they are the ONLY provider who only requires one year contracts to get the full discount and rebates on their h...

I was simply comparing what you get for the same price. To be honest, I do not think that rollover minutes are terribly useful for most people. I think its a brilliant marketing strategy because of its perceived value for customer, but I'd love to see the actual number of customers who end up benefitting from it. I think most people either talk a lot consistently or talk a little consistently. A small number of people talks very little one month and a huge amount the next, but for those few people it is helpful.
Second, since "in your mind" you should be able to leave early that means that the Talk or Walk promotion is more likely to happen? I wouldn't hold your breath. I myself don't know for sure, but what I have been told is that t...

I agree with this. If you have to rely on rollover minutes, you are not on the correct plan to begin with.

This is because I was a T-mobile customer prior to the advent of Rollover being offered by Cingular. They put into implementation around the time I had renewed for a 2nd year but now since I see things improving here, I am willnig to forego what happened to me in the TDMA days 2 years ago. Looks like Phonepimp was right all along on what he was saying. Bigger coverage and better plans.
Phonepimp, if you read this message, then hope you are willing to help me port when my contract gets over with here. 🙄

isn't it just an extended buyer's remorse period for new customers?
From what I'm given to understand, Talk Or Walk is only available for new customers in coverage areas that T-Mobile has just recently expanded to. It does function as an extended buyer's remorse period and will go away as soon as T-Mo reaches a certain number of staying customers in each market. In all likelihood, it will not ever go to the Dallas area, rendering this discussion irrelevant.

Well either way, T-Mobile has alot to do to keep me as a customer. By the time my contract is up, the new Cingular will have gotten better by then and T-Mobile will take a hit.

amumey said:
A hit that sounds to be a good one. You are bitter for some reason...hmmm.
I'm not bitter, just not satisfied with the fact that T-Mobile can stay dead idle with their calling plans in the Family Talk area and make improvements in other areas while other carriers have made far more improvements to exceed what T-Mobile is offer on both the single as well as family talk plans at every price level. Take this and add it to larger network coverage offered by the New Cingular in bothe conditions, pre and post merger.
You can't possibly be stupid of your ass enough to stay T-Mobile still has the better value in their offer. To this I'd say go get your damn eyes checked. 😳

Hey BluetoOrange22,
If you work for Cingular, my suggestion is to actually hire CSR's that actually know what they are doing and can more importantly speak the English language. If I had a penny for the number of times I heard a complaint on this issue, I'd be a millionaire by now.
Other than this, yes Cingular does have the goods to deliver but their CSR's are the main source of screw ups in the eyes of their customers and this is why you (the new blue to orange Cingular) will never surpass T-Mobile in the Customer Service Satisfaction rating.
When your front line of interaction with t...

Starting Monday, 850 on the $69 family plan. Also, a new $129 2500 minute family plan. Not competitive? Ask and you shall receive.

Any changes to the $49.99 plan by any chance? TMoFreak, I sincerely thank you for your reply. But let me reiterate one thing I said earlier. If T-Mobile will do something in the area of its rate plans, then I will not move to another carrier. Believe me when I say the reliability is there with T-mobile from the Cust Svc point of view. BUT your network coverage is smaller than the competition and so are your calling plans. This is before considering what Cingular offers with the Rollover feature.
So do tell me more about the plans than just the basic...

Like I've been saying all along.
Just sit tight and be patient. A lot more to come with T-Mobile.

The 850 minute plan actually went into effect on Friday - existing customers can switch to it for a contract extention by calling customer care.

Talk or walk is not going to be to you for at least 6 months, if ever. And you know what, with the attitude you have, I wish we could let you walk and go get screwed over by another provider.

It'll be a moot point by then because in that time my contract will be over and then it'll be Tata to T-Mobile and Hello Cingular.
Speaking of the one to get screwed, it'll be T-Mobile as they are taking a huge gamble with the Talk or Walk deal. They should have just stayed pat with the ETF and said ok so CW and AWE merged but if you wanna leave, then the ETF will apply. It looks like JD Power and Associates in about 1Q05 or 2Q05 will be be opening their eyes again and re-evaluating the Customer Sa...

Go now please and take your attitude with you. You are paying an additional 9.99 for UNLIMITED nights, not free nights. No plan is for everyone, but for people that do a lot of weekend calling, it is a perfect plan.
...
Do me a favor and can it. You are a typical customer with obviously no intelligence. Go to each of the 5 major providers and read up on everything you possibly can in regards to rate plans, phones, coverage, restrictions and extra costs. You will see for yourself that you are just wrong about your assumption.

ok WOW, a couple things
at the $39.99 price point CINGULAR DOES NOT HAVE T MOBILE BEAT, here is cingular's $39.99 plan
450 anytime minutes
rollover
5000 N/W min (9 pm)
unlimited m2m
sorry but that does not come near any of tmobiles 3, thats right 3 $39.99 plans, you wanna bitch and complain about network, in my area both tmobile AND cingular (former ATT) networks are GREAT, so it boils down to PRICE at this point, ALL wireless providers have buyers remorse periods, it gives you a chance to try out the service and if you dont like it then you can quit, so if you dont like it now its no ones fault but your own for not escaping while you could without an ETF, as a matter of fact in my area tmobiles reception continuously gets BETTER...
