Yes, you’re still able to use the myfaves with the SK. All T-Mobile devices will allow you to use myfaves, they are stored in the Tmo system. I’d recommend making sure you have an alternate way to change your myfaves though, just so you don’t forget about them. I am working on another chart for the rate plans, it may take a little while to recieve permissions but I will work on getting a more understandable chart available…I admit, that other one is a bit confusing.

@queen

Even More Plus you can pay for phone up front in full or if you finance and leave T-Mobile before those 20 months are up then you can just pay them the remainder of your phone balance.

I imagine you could still do one year phone upgrades and contracts. They have stated for a while now 2 year contracts are required for phone upgrades and the like, but I’ve always paid $50 more and gotten a 1 year contract for upgrading

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???

Everything is a bit chaotic right now with understanding these new plans, but its nice to see that a wireless company is trying to stay innovative and isn’t afraid to change things up. Tmobile does take feedback very seriously so things that are a negative impact may be subject to change just go to tmobile.com and submit feedback.

While the pricing may be competitive on some plans, Tmo is advertising this as 1/2 off the rates of the other major carriers. I don’t see a 50% savings.

This is not a game-changer. A game changer would have been to break there entire product into 1 or 2 plans, and both plans would have unlimited calling and text, while the other would have unlimited calling, text, and web. That would be a game changer.

But look at that chart above! What average Joe is going to take the time to try to decipher all that? And that’s comparing the new rates to Tmo’s old rates. Imagine comparing it to Verizon, Sprint, or AT&T, with there different structure.

Mystic,

Dude, I totally get that you want to use the promotional plan in your comparison, but the simple fact that it was PREVIOUSLY an offer doesn’t hold water. Your justification in the article isn’t a justification at all.

To do the readers justice, you need to compare a REGULAR rate plan. I bet I could dig up some pretty wild promotional plans from WAY back in the past that would blow that one out of the water. Would that be a beneficial analysis for a customer? No.

What would be beneficial is comparing plans from the last print brochure. In sum: Even More is not a promotion, it is the new regular rate plan structure from T-Mobile. Please compare it to the last set of regular rate plans.

People what u guys are not realizing is that tmobile does not want u to be on a contract and that is why they want u to choose the EVEN MORE PLUS plans. All u guys with the loyalty plan with the tzones hack that works on the iphone and fam time text for $10 (super old school). Well of course its gonna hard for tmo to please u guys but ur not seeing the bigger picture I mean who offers 500 minutes mo-mo w night n weekends for $30? Add text $10 and smart phone (g1 bb or cliq) internet for $30 for a total price of $60/month???
Seriosuly what company offers that? Go to att and activate an iphone with unl text and minimum is $90/month with 450 minutes?…. now for those o u that aren’t good at math that’s $30 less per month which equals $360 a year. Shit with those $360 u can buy the new 8520 with case and car charger. What can u do with att?? And did u genuises see that the full retail for a mytouch and bb 8900 dropped from 499 to 399???? Gosh all u nerds are so snobish and hard to please. If ur so unhappy go to metro and well see u when u come back in a month… put it this way purchase a new 8900 or mytouch put $200 down then just pay $10 / month for 20 months… u won’t even feel the cost of the phone and ur plan will not increase drastically… what’s also important and that u guys fail to see ia that you are no longer required to get the internet so posers that want a blackberry for talk n text well now u can do it…. same tthing goes for g1 n mytouch…. hahaha gosh I love working for tmobile and btw I’m using the cliq and so far its been an awesome phone.

Why can’t I have a mytouch 3g for the fact it is a nice touchscreen phone with a nice camera and music player and wifi if i need it. Why can’t I have that right to enjoy it as I please without having to pay for a data plan. T-mobile is suppose to be different and game changing. but yet they loose a sale. I probably wont change to tmobile because of that fact im no better off than I am now plus I would pay more for talk n text. I want to support T-Mobile but they wont let me. and if I do goto them Ill get a nokia from newegg instead of paying T-mobile for a mytouch or buy a used mytouch off the net. and not be force to get a data plan why cause that hassle T-Mobile.
