Okay...I will try to answer all of your questions. Which get more plan? The 39.99-600 whenever min, unl nts and wks?
The only plans we have at T-Mobile that have unlimited tmob2tmob is our Family plans.
If you have an individual plan you can add tmob2tmob for 6.99/mo. The txt/pix msging packages for indiv plans are as thus: 4.99-400, 9.99-1000, 14.99-unlimited.
PEBL a basic camera phone? Not even close. If you want a basic camera phone get the Nokia 3220 or 6101. The self opening hinge works like this: try to image your thumb touching the cover on the outside of the HS, you slightly press down to get a grip and slid your finger down and it flips open on its own. The PEBL has a magnet and by doing that action step I told you tha...

the mobile to mobile feature is 6.99 extra to any individual plan. it is included only with family plans. text messaging is .05 per msg, pic messaging is .25 per message. (imcoming and outgoing msgs) you can add a message feature, the lowest one right now is 4.99 for 400. all of the messaging features include text and pic.
as for the self opening hinge on the PEBL.. it closes with magnets, (not a regualr hinge like other flip phones) so you just kindof push on it to open it. go to a store to check it out, it's kindof hard to describe, but it's def cool.

You don't want the PEBL. It's a RAZR in a new package. What happens when the magnet finally gives? Your phone will be flippin open all the time.

I've had the PEBL and it SUCKS... The RAZR is a better choice... THE CAMERA ON THE PEBL SUCKS.... THE SCREEN IS TOO SMALL... AND THE KEYPAD IS PLASTIC..

Instead of asking us a bunch of questions because you're to lazy to get off your big butt - why don't you go to t-mobile's website and look it up yourself? You obviously found this forum, but can't find tmo's website or a retail store?

People like you make me wan't to gouge my own eyes out or just repeatedly punch myself in the face. Why must you do this to me? Why?

In the future, ask questions about the quality of service or what we think of a phone. The PEBL sucks, try something else. Don't be cheap, you're going to be stuck with the phone for awhile. Ask people around your area that have tmobile and see if they like it. If the service stinks, they will tell you. Tmobile coverage isn't that good - but their prices are the cheapest.

Not call reps are like you experienced. That one person made me feel embarrassed. Our job is to answer your questions. If you don't like it then quit.

Dude ... CHILL. This guy is asking a few questions. On second thought, please do us all a favor and punch yourself in the face a few times, maybe you will knock some sense into yourself.

NEVER GET SERVICE BECAUSE OF A PHONE, go to the T-mobile site and check coverage in your area, a good basic phone with camera would be the Samsung t309 of the Nokia 6101,they are great phones and very good reception, T-mobile reception has gotten better in the last 2 month by 30% due to the 850 addition, family plan $69.99 gives you that 1000 any time min and unlimited nights and weekend and the true mobile to mobile. Also for limited time you can add unlimited messaging on family plans for $9.99, includes picture,text,video. U6 is not the phone for you. and add the $35.00 activation fee for each line.
