Interesting so you mean csr fed me lines of BS.. I have had beautiful coverage for 6 years until that stunt with AT&T I ended up losing 5 shifts at work because while the CSR tech reps told me they were working on the tower they were just running me around. Here I sit a year later with no flipping tower yet!!! CSR also promised me a month free for my loss of work plus agravation. which I never got!! Then to make matters worse I have to use UMA service and now tmobile doesn't offer any non BB phones. My daughter boke her nokia which I have insurance on and lol they don't even have a replacement. WTH $7.50 a month for insurance!!!! My fiance and my daughter do not need web services. and I absolutely refuse to pay another $60 for them to get it just so they can make calls. Never mind HSPA or 3G... I just want a damn tower so I can make calls non UMA!!! formrtmocsr.. Interesting so you mean csr fed me lines of BS..

The pink plan is for non-contract and paying full price for the phone. Shawn, the blue poster is for a 2 year contract or extension including price breaks on new devices.

Had been familiar with them over the pond and was THRILLED to have them here. Recently I let a rep talk me into going full non-contract as I had been out of contract anyway for six months. I had the my faves and was quite happy with it but the prospect of saving money in this economy, even a little, was worth doing. AT the time. Now I feel like I have been divorced from Tmobile. I am no longer considered a loyal customer, I can not get a break on a new phone, and I can't even add any one for the $5.00. I asked to be put back to contract and was told that I could NEVER go back under contract and that I had been advised beofre switching..and I had not. It was a dumb move on my part... I had never beofre considered leaving Tmobile... but this feeling of divorce has me exploring other options. I just can't see paying so much for a phone when they are giving them away for FREEE this weekend...there are other international phone companies.

What is the difference between the blue posters and the pink posters???? For example, why is the blue poster saying unlimited family plan is 179.99 while the pink poster says the unlimited family plan is 139.99???????????? also how much is it going to cost to add each additional family member past the 2 first included ones??? thanks I’m so confused.

Signing in on a contract is a big deal, and cell companies know its a big commitment. Most people ditch their previous contract and provider after their two years are up to try something different / get a new device on a different provider. If you understand basic business principles, it is much cheaper to keep an existing customer than to land a new one. Therefore, it is a smart business proposition for Tmo to offer me a $10 discount on my monthly bill by staying with them for 5 years, than it is for Tmo to dump advertising money to try and land a new customer to sign a new contract. Basic stuff. If general stores made you sign a 2 year commitment to their brand, I guarantee you that they would offer promotions to stay with them when your contract is over. @Pixiwish
