@wytestelth
I can its not a problem, but I have the Family Unlim Msgs for $9.99 and “rumors” are saying that if you have any type of unlim msgng it will be over the 400msgs that come with the $25 plan for the G1.

I will figure it out, but when I pre-ordered my G1 I got the $35 plan so I am ok for now.

I will have to look into it further once launch day comes, thanks for the sugg anyways.

@youngchick. Why don’t you just take off the 400 msg feature and just use the $35 bundle pack where you get unlimited msg anyways. Save yourself $5.

Noreen…being a t-mobile employee i have been told that you CANNOT use the phone without the g1 plan. but* when i put my sim in the phone, and signed into a new gmail account, the phone worked fine using my blackberry plan on my account, 3g worked, email worked, internet worked, everything seemed to work fine, well see if they change that rule come launch day!!

Ok….I’m loving everything I’m hearing about the G1, but I haven’t heard anyone talk about goin from the Sidekick LX to the G1. I love my Sidekick more than anything, but its a long story on why I’m leaving it for the G1. So my question is…”will everything transfer over from my Sidekick to G1? Like my bookmarks, notes, todo list? I was told my a customer service rep no, but she didn’t sound like understood my question.
Does anyone know?

No the $19.99 plan cannot just be added only $25 and $35 plan exist its a bundle you can’t get just one its provisioned specifically for the G1.

The G1 is useless without data much like the sidekick because everything is internet based and the pictures are great I have a few taken from the device and let me tell you wow. Even though 3G may not be in your area it still will work off of GPRS and EDGE so that’s why the rep said what he did.

Its not like the Iphone so you can only type via keyboard sorry.

I would just love to know for sure if the phone has an on-screen keypad. I’m not too thrilled about having to slide open the keyboard for a text that i’m just gonna reply with an “ok”. If there isn’t then is it poss for there to be an app or software update that can? Really looking foward to its release tho. Preordered mine on the 23rd and its seems like forever. Might have to change my $25 to $35 cos of my 1500 texts or so a month is gonna be murder on my bill.

I just want my phone.
When I pre-ordered mine I got the $35 plan, but “rumors” are saying if you have an unlim msg plan, you can go with the $25 w/400 msgs plan for the data.
Then any msgs over 400 will be covered in your unlim msg plan.

Can anyone or any t-mo reps confirm this?

Thanks…10 more days remaining not too bad!

Here’s a weird question: I don’t live in a 3G network state. One rep told me I still have to get the $25 or $35 3G plan for the G1 even though I won’t have access to the 3G.

Another rep told me that I can just use the regular $20 data plan (EDGE/UMA) like the one I currently use for my Curve.

And 2 reps told me they have no idea at all!

What do you guys think? Appreciate it!
