Went to a store today and they told me the discount was only for people under contract. So if you signed up for their even more plus plan realize that it means even more plus 50 dollars.

Found a better price here for both new customers and upgraders

http://www.letstalk.com/blackberry-bold-9700-t-mobile

Best price I’ve seen for either new or upgrade customer.

No rebate necessary. For upgrading, only charge is $18 upgrade fee on next bill.

Blackberry Data Plan ($30) and $10 text messaging required. (Rep said that you can keep existing plans if you already have Blackberry data and text messaging.)

Don’t forget to send in an old working phone for $50 rebate (or $75 if it’s a BB Curve or Pearl. https://www.recyclerebates.com//tm-rim then flipyourcurveas the promo code.

Customer Care obviously means allot to some, thats why on any given day, with 27 call centers, you will have 128 people waiting to talk to a customer care rep…so thats totally stupid. Have you seen t mobiles phone line up, its getting pretty impressive. Honestly i would put t mobiles handsets up against any other provider and the cliq and my touch put the iphone to shame, but this is all opinions and no hard facts. The hard facts are though that t mobile is expanding 3g coverage at a rapid rate and it wont be long before it matches att 3g coverage. T Mobile has most major cities covered by now with there 3g and if you have not read ANYTHING, it seems to be much much much quicker then att. One more small fact..check other providers mid range rate plan prices, I bet T Mobile will beat them too, which is why since the launch of the new rates T Mobile has Migrated some 4 Million customers from att and verizon, and 1 Million of T Mobiles current subscribers have migrated to the new plans. Thats pretty solid numbers to say that T Mobile doesn’t have the best rates, comparably, to other providers. Finally, people don’t care about cheap handsets, which is why people don’t mind going to the even more plus plans where they get no discount. They just don’t want to be locked into any contracts and commitments, and they want a small monthly rate. For that, T Mobile is one of the only company’s that offer these monthly rates, with no contracts. But go to att so that you can pay twice as much, be locked into a contract, and soon have nothing to compare your precious 3g coverage to. Plus i hate talking to people like you on the phone anyway. Rob is right, do your research before you go talking.

Value is not the amount you pay but what you get for that amount. Cheap plans-yes, great phones and coverage – no. Great unlimited talk plans – yes. Great mid-range plans for families with data – no. Your mileage may vary but I would love to pay $40/month more and get GREAT 3G coverage everywhere if I could do it with T-mobile. I would love to walk in and pick up Droid or HD2 or N900 from T-mobile store. Instead they give us (give me the fanfare here) whole $50 off Cliq. Is that value? I think not. But I think you’re absolutely right: T-mobile is cheap, and it’s cheap in many different ways. Take it as you want.

As much as I hate ETF’s in general I also realize the cell companies have every right to recoup money they gave you off the phone up front if you don’t live up to your end of the bargain. They key is the ETF should not be in excess of the discount they gave you & that is should be a REAL discount, not $500 off an artificially high so-called retail of like $599 when it’s only worth $250. Yes people take advantage of companies when they can, it’s unfortunate because it ruins for honest people but then again companies need to realize they need to stop hurting the honest loyal customers when setting up rules & prices on things because in the end people catch on pretty quickly & they don’t soon forget getting raped by a company. That is why even though I was 100% happy with Vonage service (never had ANY problems with it) I despise that company beyond belief and take every chance I can to tell people to stay away or risk being screwed over by a company that treats their customers like crap & will rip them off with fees when they can & do anything they can to tack on more costs wherever possible. Don’t believe me search online for pissed off people or just look at recent settlement:

I’ve seen people in here bash ATT or Sprint or Verizon so I’m sure we all have our stories so to me that just proves my point that although they don’t want to let customers take advantage of them or the deals they can’t rip people off too long & stay in business either.

Happy w/ TMO. Just trying to be a good consumer and get the most for my $, especially in these economic times.

And people did do this w/ Verizon. That’s why their smartphone ETF is going up. They realized that if they discounted their phones below the ETF people could sell them on the open market and make profit even after paying the fees.

I’m honestly just looking for the most bang for my buck.

Are you for real? You seriously think that T-Mobile is not providing you with any value? If this is true you may want to come out from under the rock that you have been living under and compare the rate-plan price to the other carriers. Here just in case that won’t help you let me take the time to explain it to you, and I will simplify cause obviously you are a little slow. T-Mobile’s rate plans are half the cost of AT&T and Verizon, and they are cheaper than Sprint too. So unless you are planning on switching over to Cricket or some other lame knock-off wanna-be carrier you wont find a better savings anywhere. But way to go off on a rant that had absolutely no validity what so ever. Next time you may want to do a little bit of research before you open your mouth.
