It's not because of the money it's the principal, I have been a loyal T-Mobile customer for 8 years (in Los Angeles) I have put up with there lousy coverage when they started out in my area, partially because the of the customer service and the company they would do anything to make you happy. In recent years T-Mobile has treated me shabbily from giving me lousy prices on upgrades to not honoring rebates, without wasting hours of my time on the phone to get a credit. And now this, I have to say I am seriously considering a Sprint plan (Sprint and T-Mobile service are comparable in my Area) . With a corporate discount that waves the connection fee and 10% off the monthly fee not to mention free mobile to mobile to any cell phone, nights and weekends that start at 7 and unlimited text and data, why would I stay with T-Mobile? I reiterate it's not the money the plans are close Sprints seems a little better, $35 is INSULTING for a loyal 8 year customer.

Unlimited web for the G1 is $25. Which means that the $500 talk + unlimited web (no text) Even More Plus plan is $60 + taxes + $35 activation. Not so hot.

If you do not agree with all of the fee's why are you getting a cell phone in the first place. Everyone ask yourself this question. If I am complaining about a $35 fee can I afford the monthly fee. If you say yes then don't complain and if you say no then you don't need a cell phone. STOP COMPLAINING IT DOES NOT GET YOU FAR IN LIFE!

"Old plan" was $149 for the first 2 lines $49 for 3rd line. Not to mention the 24.99 for Web (my phone only). So after taxes I was paying upwards of 3000.00 month. With the new plan I am only paying $134 month. If you have unlimited, who really cares if you have Fav5? As for the $35 fee to transfer, I am only being billed for 1 line not all 3, not sure if there is a mix up on the line transfer or not.I would suggest calling Tmo to find out for sure. And IF I was charged for all 3 I would be OK with it because the new plan would pretty much pay for the transfer fee(s)the first month. I don't understand how people can bad mouth T MO. Unlike the "other" cell companies, TMo don't have roaming charges. Which for those who are spoiled by Tmo no nation wide roaming policy, those charges ADD UP. I have a friend with US Cellular who has to pay for bundle roaming minutes. And its around 20 cents a minute. Talk about needing to get with the times? Right. I have had Tmo for 4 years and even though I get dropped calls every now and again, I wouldn't switch. I have had Nextel (before it was Sprint) Sprint and Cingular/ATT and none of them is any better the TMo as far as service goes. For all the "Old timers" please don't complin about the Droid phones. If its too high tech for you, stick with a basic. No one is forcing you to switch. I LOVE all the Bells and Whistles and Flashing Lights! I say the more high tech the better! And NO I am not a 15y/o but an intelligent adult with brilliant taste for toys! More on price plan:

After negotiations with T-Mobile, I am now receiving the Motorola CLIQ for Free with no extention of my contract, best news, I get to keep the Behold as a "back up" phone. I am very excited to get the new CLIQ. Hope it lives up to its promisies! :^) BTW: Its AWESOME that they (T-MO)finally slashed their plan prices by half. T-Mobile is for sure keeping pace if not exceeding their market competitors. As with ALL cell companies, they do need more work on dropped call issues.

I mean come on. They give us the mt3g while sprnt gets the hero! I've been with tmobile for 7 yrs and I feel disrespected by the products they have delivered or giving us. Right out the box the other carriers are killing tmobile.they are catering to the non computer friendly,teenage,elderly crowsd. What about the men in women that love to have the hotest devices with hottest features. I don't give a damn about social networks ie cliq. They're buolding there whole fan base around something most adults don't care about. We want power and functionaility. I have tmobile and I have the g1. I had the mt3g for about 2 hours and returned it right back to tmobile. Its the the same bloody phone as the g1 minus the keyboard.tmobile usa is behind and its because the tmobile usa consumers are ok with bs. Why is that oversea that get the best phones and newer techs first? Tmbile doesn't want to be the best the just want to exist.I have a 2 yr contract with tmo and I'm canceling to get the either the droid or hero I'm still deciding.

So, if you have 5 lines on a family plan and want to migrate to no contract, you pay $70. The only grandfathered plans that are better than the new plans are the unlimited loyalty and the family time 1800 my faves. None of the new plans will beat those.

This new plan might make me switch carriers. Sprint will give me a discount on a phone and 4 lines with unlimited text, data, and mobile minutes(to any cell phone in the US) for $180. Tmobile was 270 for 4 phones with data and that is without discounts on phones. Its not worth it. Verizon has options for no contract too. I am disapointed in Tmobile's new plans.
