IIIBradIII Comm M-E-L Instr join:2000-09-28 Greer, SC Reviews: ·T-Mobile US	As I read it, you pay more with the contract because they are subsidizing the phone cost, same as they always have. T-Mobile's unlimited talk/text plan (w/ contract) was already $99 with a subsidized phone, but now they've added data to that plan for free. And I don't understand why you're disappointed. As a ebay phone buyer, you can take your phone to T-Mobile and get an unlimited talk/text/data plan for $79 with no contract, right? If I'm reading that right, that's the cheapest nationwide unlimited plan I've ever seen from the big 4. -- »www.FlightSimWorld.com Remember, there are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots.

Straphanger Express is Back Premium,Mod join:2001-12-08 Jackson Heights, NY kudos:2 Host: TV over IP New York Audio/Video Chat	T-Mobile's new plans do look very good for folks who bring their own phone like myself. Currently I'm on an old FamilyTime Basic package with 500 minutes, which costs $50 a month (contract is long gone). The way I read it, the new Even More Plus plan allows me to get 750 minutes for the same $50 a month, which is a good deal for me. Not sure how much it costs to add an extra line though. Doesn't state it anywhere for the Even More Plus plans. -- Please use all available doors...you have 33 to choose from.

I'd rather find the phone for a decent price on eBay than pay MORE each month AND be locked into a 2 year contract. And now you have the ability to. The price difference of $20 is paying for the new phone. If you are happy paying more up front for an unlocked phone, or if you already have one, feel free to. If you want a Android phone for instance, that will cost $400 (G1) or $500 (G3) unlocked. Under contract, you'd be paying the equivalent of $609 ($480+$129 for the G1) or $629 (480+149 for the G3) over the course of 2 years. For some, breaking that up across 24 payments is a lot easier then paying for it all up front.

tiger72 SexaT duorP Premium join:2001-03-28 Saint Louis, MO kudos:1 Reviews: ·T-Mobile US	That's the thing though - you can STILL break it up into 20 payments and pay for the brand spankin new phone over time. It's a no-interest Installment Plan. So no matter what, whether you get your phone on ebay or through T-Mobile, the EvenMore+ plan is the best bargain hands-down. -- "What makes us omniscient?

dfxmatt join:2007-08-21 Evanston, IL	reply to IIIBradIII google voice + myfaves + data plan = $64.98 for unlimited everything. After freelancer's union discount it comes out to $66/mo. So actually yes, this is way more expensive than anything I've seen from big 4. it's nice to see unlimited (and simplified), but the price is atrocious.

Are you sure about this? I thought that they'll simply charge you a $35 fee to switch to the EMP plan, and make you serve out the duration of your contract (at the lower EMP price). -- "What makes us omniscient?
