With BOTH plans, it seems that TMO wants you to stay with them for TWO years.

Even More (2 year contract req)
Even More Plus (20 month phone payment plan)

I prefer ONE year contracts with the discounted NEW phone price.

So how are these plans benefiting me???

Why are so many people crying. These plans are nothing but good news and a move in the right direction regarding contracts in the us cell phone industry. I have the loyalty plan and I’ve been contract free for 3 years and have no intention of going under contract any time soon so the option to buy a new phone in 20 installments could be a good option for me. These prices are good for unlimited, undercutting sprint by $20+ is great but I guess you can’t please everyone

Well I’ve been a T-Mobile customer for years, and I’ve had the 49.95 unlimted voice plan for a while now. No contract extension, nothing. I’d signed up years ago getting 1000 minutes for 39.95 and I figured it was worth the peace of mind for an extra ten bucks. I just upgraded my phone to the Merlot MyTouch and upgraded my dataplan from 19.95 a month for the Dash I was using to the 24.95 for the unlimited MyTouch. I don’t really use text messages considering with data, I just leave IM, Twitter and FB running and folks can easily reach me.

So I don’t know if “Dark” is going to do anything for me that I can use.

I do think it’s awesome that they are trying to get more competitive with the other carriers.

I personally don’t know what to think anymore after reading everyone’s comments. In less than 24 hrs, we’ll find out.

project dark sucks. like someone already said, its not even the best prices out there. unless they have something else up their sleeve this is a complete let down.

Well…possibly good news (at least for me). I just talked to a CSR at T-mobile. I explained to her that I was worried about the MyFaves plans going away because they work perfect for me. And I’d end up having to pay a lot more to cover my minutes in these new ‘dark’ plans.

My wife currently has the 300 MyFaves plan. She uses almost all 300 minutes + about 1000 minutes worth of MyFaves. So a total of just under 1500 each month. I’ve been planning to add a line for me in a MyFaves family plan.

Long story short, I asked if I should sign up today in order to get grandfathered in before the new price plans. She said that MyFave Plans are NOT GOING ANYWHERE. The new ‘dark’ plans are ONLY in addition to existing plans for more options. So if she was correct, all old plans will still be there.

I guess that actually makes some sense with the new plan naming scheme:
Even More
Even More +

Both those plans are Even More than what??? So if the CSR didn’t lead me astray it looks like T-Mo will have:
Old current plans
Even More plans (new dark plan)
Even More Plus plans (new dark plan)

Anyways…hope she was right cuz MyFaves work perfect for my situation!
Tomorrow the dust settles!!!!!!!!! What a ride we’ve been on this week.

Here’s hoping that t-mobile gets a cool phone soon (Droid anyone??)

@ mattymatt72

I have to agree with you. I am still holding out hope that tomorrow brings something other than these lackluster new plans. If you want unlimited the new plans are a great bargain. For everything else, the new plans are no better than what we already have. In some cases actually worse. Especially for those of us who have 5 lines on our family plans.

I love tmobile, and will not change to another provider, however. I have 5 lines of service on a family plan and the above does nothing for me. Tmobile again over promises and under delivers. Add this to the fact they are always behind the curve on the latest phones( we get the moto cliq, verizon gets the moto droid, we get the magic, sprint gets the hero, etc….) and its not hard to see why tmobile is in 4th place. They will have to buy the competition to move up the ladder, thats just a fact, or fire senior management and replace them with a new management team better able to grow a business.

@Eraser

I agree with wbat you said about pricing on unsubsidized plans. I’m really dissapointed by these plans. While I agree that everything plus is new to to the national carriers it isn’t new to the prepaid market AND you’re paying $30 a month more for what? I think $60 a month unlimited everything and non subsidized phone would have shaken things up significantly…..$30 more just ticks me off and makes me want to look at sprint and gamble on their reputation of poor customer service.
