How much do you guys pay for your tmobile bill? I have the unlimited everything for my G1 for 35 and my Favs for 39.99, i pay 90 dollars a month. Anyway I can get it cheaper? Yes, I tried the freelancer website discount and they said it only applys to new accounts. Thanks
i have the same thing on flexpay. and tmobile doesnt allow discounts with flexpay.

$25 for G1 data plan w/ 400 texts(I don't text that much that I'd need unlimited)

That sounds quite expensive..
I'm sory to break into your USA topic, but i think that its quite a lot you are paying right now.
Due to my earlier years with t mobile Igot my G1 for free in combination with a single year contract:
200 minutes
unlimited text
unlimited internet
40 Euro's a month. That's about 54 USD.
How come it is that expensive over there, when other things are really [in comparison]?

You also have to remember that Deustche Telekom is one of the largest carriers in Europe and T-Mobile USA is the smallest of the carriers here.
You think this is expensive, you should see the other Providers (Verizon, Sprint[aside from the unlimited everything Plan] and At&t) T-Mobile has by far the best rates in the USA. The most expensive data plan for a PHONE is only $34.99, which is really only 19.99 for the internet because it is a bundle of Unlimited SMS/MMS at $14.99 and the internet at $19.99. At&t Data plans can up to $60 for PHONES not just there data stick/card. Also in general the rates plans are about $10 to $20 cheaper then the other providers. When I was with verizon for a 2 line 700 minute plan i was paying when it was all said and done $170 a month and i didn't even have the internet on either of my lines. It was ridiculous! It is a pretty good deal for us here in the States.
My Favs 600-49.99
Unlimited Data-35.00
Mobile to Mobile 6.99
Control Charge-5.99
Insurance-3.99
All about $114 after taxes for a single line

Also, mine is for two phone lines.
I have the cheapest plan and it suits me great! One of the main reasons I could afford to switch to T-Mobile.
$30 voice plan (300 minutes; I don't call that often)
$25 data plan (400 messages, unlimited data)
$55/mo total before all the fees.
T-Mobile is definitely cheaper than all the other carriers available (at least Sprint and AT&T).
Unlimited EVERYTHING, one line: $105

hmm.. i just got my phone and still havent seen my first bill.. i was wondering "What's your T-Mobile bill?" if your line is added with someone else.. just add only the bill for the G1.
I have a family plan: 3000 shared min and my last bill was for $760.00 USD, because I travel outside the US and used the data plan..

$98 on the average. 1000mins and unlimited data plan
$79.99 MyFaves 2 lines 1500 minutes + $9.99 unlimited messages + $24.99 G1 plan on one + $10-$15 in 'taxes,fees, etc'....per month
70ish, I'm jewish and only got the basic 300 minutes plus unlimited data.
Im on a nice deal, 300 texts and 600 mins for £10... accidently went £75 over first month of having me g1 hehe!
$10 a month...unlimited data and texts, something like 2000anytime minutes (family member works at T-Mobile)
edit....plus $6 for the insurance on my G1
Individual Basic ($29.99) + G1 Data with 400 sms ($24.99) - 15 percent freelancers union discount + taxes and fees = about $55/mth
I'm obviously not on T-Mo, but my monthly bill is 22 bucks which includes unlimited data (though only 20 GB of HSDPA data) and 100 minutes/100 texts. I never use more than 100 minutes in a month though, usually not even a third of that.

I spend like $81 USD I think? I have the lowest minute plan, 300 or w/e with the data plan, plus insurance on my g1.

I'm on a family plan with my roommate. We share 800 minutes with myfaves and I have the G1 unlimited plan. I think my half is $65. MyFaves is really great if you dont call many people... 90% of my friends text almost exclusively.
If you guys pay more than $50 for just your voice plan then call Tmo. $49.00 unlimited nationwide voice for customers that have 22 months of history with them. I just saved myself $40 or so dollars. No contract extension.
My bill with tax for unlimited nationwide calling, unltd txts, data, is $94 and some change.
**edit - just dial 611 and ask for this - they'll tell you about it.

lol...me the wife and kids are on a grandfathered plan since 2006
49.99 1000 anytime minutes...free mobile to mobile (helps that both our families and most of our friends have t-mobile as well) between 4 phones we usually use about 400-450 minutes a month.
14.99 unlimited text messaging (covers all our phones on the account)
24.99 data plan for my G1
19.99 blackberry plan for my wifes curve
10.00 x 2 for each of our daughters additional lines
I called them just yesterday to see if they are doing anything special like the $50.00 unlimited plan, but for families...sadly they dont. however, she said that because we have been with them for just shy of 10 years...she was able to discount my unlimited text package to 4.99 a month and gave me the option of another upgrade on my account (I just used my upgrade in October to buy my G1).
I love tmobile customer service

If I remember correctly the loyalty family plan is supposed to be out by now and it is a little more expensive thou. Something like 100 for the first two phones and 35 for each additional.
EDIT: Check out this screen of what I see when I log in... that is 50 a month plus 40 for each additional. and 5 for messaging
I've been reading this forum for a while, (since my xv6700) and you all are very knowledgeable with these phones and getting the most usage out of them. My question is, since the US T-Mobile pricing has been announced for the HD2 $199/contract & $449/no contract. Which would be cheaper over the 2 years? Is there a special pricing plan that you can get if you brought the HD2 no commit, that would give you all the features, (unlimited talk and text) and maybe a cheaper data plan. I ask this because I heard of people having unlocked and no commit PDAs and getting a regular "dumb phone", (ex like a low-end cheap flip Samsung phone) data pricing, ($10 instead of the $30). I am a little confused about the Even More and Even More Plus plans being offered and if im paying full cost for a phone, I want to make sure my monthly bill justifies it over the course of 2 years.
So if you all could help, it would be highly appreciated.

hehe... here in latvia it costed me a 110% of monthly wage no contract + money for every "MB/SMS/Call second"
701 USD o_0 without contract
Let me break it down like this. Since you're buying the phone from T-Mobile you will be required to have a smartphone data plan(Their new plans all data whether dumbphone or smart cost the same they have to add the correct provisioning though) If you had an older T-Zones data you'd be grandfathered in for 5.99 and could use it on a smartphone I believe.
Anyways down to price
For the Even More Contract Plan Unlimited Talk+Text+Web
Up Front Costs:
$199 - Phone
$35 - Activation Fee
Any applicable tax
Monthly Costs:
$99 + Any applicable tax
Even More Plus Non-Contract With available EIP
Up Front Cost:
$22.50 - 1st Month Phone
$35 - Activation
Any applicable tax
Monthly Cost:
$79 + Any applicable tax
$22.50 for EIP purchase (427.50 over first 19 months 0% interest)
Even More Plus Non-Contract Without EIP
Up Front Cost:
$449 - Phone
$35 - Activation
Any applicable tax
Monthly Cost:
$79 + Any applicable tax
Total Up Front:
EM: $234 + Any applicable tax
EM+: $484 + Any applicable tax
EM+ w/ EIP: $57.50 + Any applicable tax
Total Cost of Ownership:
EM: $2610 + Any applicable tax
EM+: $2380 + Any applicable tax
EM+ w/ EIP: $2381 + Any applicable tax
So the best value would have to be the EM+ with the Equipment Installment plan if you qualify. Much lower up front cost than even the contract plan, and only 2 dollars a month more than the contract plan, plus after 19 months it drops to the regular 79 a month, where the contract plan doesn't
Hopefully that covers everything lol
Also if I wan't too clear on the data thing with smartphones and dumbphones, T-Mobile now checks the IMEI, and if the device trying to access the internet isn't provisioned it will bring you to a page to add the proper data package, so a dumbphone data plan no longer works on a smartphone, unless you have the grandfathered in T-Zones package.
Bloody hell you get shafted in the States!!!
In the UK, last week I got the following:
Phone upgrade £185 (12 Month Contract)
+ £25 per month for the following:
150 any time any network minutes per month
150 SMS messages per month
Unlimited Data (500MB fair usage)
+ just sold the old HD1 on ebay for £180 so phone effectively free!
Happy days!
idk about shafted...
thats 150 minutes, 150 sms and 500MB of data for almost 40USD a month, while the lowest EM+ plan is 59USD for 500 any time minutes, unlimited night and weekend, unlimited SMS, and unlimited Data(Throttled after 5GB)
I'll take my plans... oh yea and no contract with the EM+
Plus thats almost 300USD for the phone on contract, US version which has more ROM is 199 on contract and 450 no contract. or 60 up front 22.50 a month if you use the 0% interest EIP
I am, because of the BOGO deal. So me and my mom can just port over with our 2 lines, and since we have 2 lines we are eligible to use the BOGO deal. And because of the cheaper prices, we are getting more for less. Although, I use around 400 min - 800 min, maybe I should go cheaper. Anny recommendations. My mom does need everything unlimited since she uses everything, like her talk time is around 4-6k min per month, and since she will have a data device again, she will use the data, and texting.
What we are getting with T-Mobile:
Cost per month: At or around $200
Line 1 - My Mom:
Unlimited Min - $59.99
Unlimited Data - $30.00
Unlimited Text - $10.00
Line 2 - Me:

March 24th, 2010.

I'll be there.
@OP, have you looked into getting a family plan? Even More unlimited talk is only $99.99, compared to $119.98 for 2 individual plans. You'd still qualify for the BOGO deal for 2 lines. You can add on the unlimited family texting for $15, I believe, and then the data plan $30 each. So that should be only $145/month, if I did my math correctly.
As for your post, I will be there in line also
As for the BOGO, I will sell the free one :
BOGO
If you are looking at doing the bogo, you should do a family plan. It is cheaper to do the even more unlimited talk, text, and web family plan for $179.
To do the bogo both lines have to be on the same account so you should save the money and just go on a family plan.
And yes i will be ordering mine as soon as i can on the 24th (employees have to order online so i wont get it on the 24th).... I typed this on our store demo and the phone is awesome.

If you did Even More Family plan that would be 179.99 a month .
It seems better to me to go with the Even More Plus Families and pay the phone outright and less $$ every month 139.99 vs 179.99 plus a 2 Yr contract.
the $15 text option is per line, so for 2 lines it would be $100 for unl talk, plus $25 for family innkeeper messaging, plus $60 ($30/line) for web if you did it oone feature at a time = $185.
Just do the even more family talk, text, and web = unlimited talk, text, and web for $180
Sorry for such a basic question, but the $400 no contract price does not mean that it is unlocked, correct?
Can this one be unlocked to a SIM free device status as the European version?
If I do the 1000 min even more plan it will be around that price with taxes. Which I think I will because I don't use that much min. Plus I want to break off sooner or later. Being tied to a family plan contract wont let me break off easily. This will allow me to transfer my line with the contract I signed up for, with out messing with my moms contract.
This will be around the 1 year mark of the contract, if I can get a steady job with in a few months lol.
enjoy tmobile! I went to my shop today and they were really nice. They let me see an exact replica of the phone and it's beautiful. It's actually rubber and metal on the back!

That price is presented for people who aren't eligible for the 200 price, so they offer a no contract retail option, thus the high price. You can still buy it like that, but you will have to unlock it using 3rd party solution.
I'll drop by my local store on Wednesday to try it out. I'll buy it as long as it feels good in my hand. That's the only thing I can't tell based on all the video reviews I've watched.
My local store said that there hasn't been much interest and most people don't know about it.

Thanks for the answer, but really, $400 seems like a bargain compared to what I paid for my HD2!
i got it yesterday at walmart.
since when is the retail price 400? its 450 at tmo stores but at walmart its 500 but i got for 450 cause of employee discount due to my friend working there.
they can sell it retail but not for contract price yet

How much are all the taxes / fees / total cost of the monthly plan?
And if it makes a difference, what state are you in? (I think taxes vary, especially NY and California)
Mines like 75, but that's with insurance. Michigan btw.
I also have the corporate discount which I forgot about when I first posted.
The state does make a difference because of all the various taxes. In Wisconsin, this plan comes out to be about $75 after taxes if I remember correctly.
Mine is like 75 with taxes.
Everything data with 1500 shared (roaming + landline) minutes on a family plan with 2 phones.
Minus a 24% employer discount plus taxes is $110 per month in Utah.

Mine comes out to about 76 bucks a month and I live in Ohio. But because of that extra 5 bucks a month for us SPL customers it's about 82 now. But I'm also a premiere customer and get to upgrade every year with 150 bucks off a new phone so it's all good.
After taxes, I pay about $7.68... All I pay for is insurance lol
Just got off chat with t-mo. Below is part of the transcript. Important lines are in bold.
kcaj32: I have one more question about that account
kcaj32: the new line I added is an HD2
tmo CS: I can see that you are typing. I just want to let you know I am still here.
kcaj32: a good friend of mine also has the HD2 and he told me that you guys have a new unlimited data plan for $20 a month for that phone instead of the $30 I had to sign up for. He told me that he already switched to the $20 unlimited data for smartphones plan. Can you add that to my new line instead of the $30 plan?
kcaj32: The line I'm talking about is 916-xxx-xxxx
tmo CS: I will check to see if that feature is available for your account. It may take me a few moments.
kcaj32: ok
tmo CS: That feature is available for that line. I have changed that over for you.
kcaj32: ok thats great. I just got an sms too saying that a web plan was changed.
kcaj32: So is this available for everyone? or just some selected people?
tmo CS: It is only available to long time loyal customers.
kcaj32: ok
Got the news from : http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/HTC-HD2/New-20-Preferred-Smartphone-Unlimited-Web-for-HD2/td-p/360447
I logged into my primary account (android line) and I have the @20 a month option there too.
I havea grandfathered Family plan:
700 min
Unlimited Nights & Weekend
MyFavs on all lines (works great with Google Voice)
and now $20 data on all lines
This is the same plan as the $34.99 plan minus the $14.99 unlimited message option so if you had text before switching and are still using text, expect a huge bill at the end of the month.
The $30 plan does not include messaging at all. the plan with unlimited messaging is $35 a month. I have an older plan on my android with unlimited web and 400 messages for $25. And the messaging works for me on my Google Voice account.

When I signed up for the new line I was offered
$35 for unlimited messaging and data
OR
$30 for unlimited data only
But I guess it you want unlimited messaging as well, you should be able to add it to the $20 account for another $10. That is still $5 less than new customers.
This would be good for me. Been with T-mo for ~7 years and I have the unlimited family loyalty plan (offered before the all-unlimited plans were available) with the $20 addition for unlimited texts. If I can cut my HD2 bill from $25 to $20, I'll take it.
Oh, and, has anybody noticed there's a $5 charge for some sort of device insurance? I've yet to call T-mo and ask about it, but I tried to remove it myself from my plan and I can't. Both of those would be $10 less a month, which, out of my $250~ a month bill, is kind of welcome.

Device insurance is just that. It insures you for any lost or broken device, but I think there is a deductible involved in getting a replacement.
The new insurance rate for HD2 is $7 a mo... if you have it for $5, I'd say keep it (only if you plan on using it in the future)
And $250 a month? how many lines is that? and is it unlimited talk on all lines?
If I'm reading this right, the $30.00 Data Plan includes Web access and personal e-Mail (POP3 or IMAP). The $20.00 Data Plan is only Web access, no personal e-Mail. Niether plan has anything to do with text messages (SMS) or picture messages (MMS). Those are under some other add on plan. I got grandfathered with unlimited text messages for families for $9.99 and can see no reason to change it.
I just tested the $20 plan with a POP3 account and it worked just fine. Its just a discounted plan they are offering to their old customers.

Older customers being the key word here. I had an account with TMO for close to 5 years and now these bozos cannot even find it to allow me to SIM unlock my device...
I hate tmous more and even more every day...
I went to MyTmobile.com, signed in, clicked the manage my plan, shared services, Line specific services. The "preferred" web option was available on my primary smart phone line. I selected it and submitted, then got confirmation. I went back and repeated for my secondary smart phone line, then for my 1st family add-a-line dumb phone line. Total knocked off my bill... $25 a month (two smart phones @ $10 savings each, and one "phone first" @ $5 savings.)
Unlimited Text messaging is included in my family plan.
I hope any trade off for the "preferred" web plan is worth the money. Tmobile USA's normal "Unlimited" is 5Gb a month at full speed, then throttled down above that (no extra fees for being excessive users.) I hope preferred "unlimited" still is.
With the phone first plans, a semi-smart phone as an add-a-line with unlimited web comes out to just $10 extra a month ($5 for add-a-line, $5 for unlimited web). Tmobile considers two semi "internet capable" proprietary OS touchscreen phones as "phone first"... Samsung Highlight and Tmo Tap. Its a shame neither can be ROM flashed to a better OS.
The also have the Nokia Nuron with Symbian with a $10 data plan. Unfortunately the Nuron does not have Wifi. and has a very small screen. I looked at it in costco and it seemed pretty small although it was 3.2". Was looking for my Wife.

Been with TMo for years (I think since they existed.....8-9 years), and I checked and I have that option as well. Currently I have the Unlimited Data + Texts for $35.
I'm thinking of switching to the $20 Preferred Data Plan and the $10 1000 texts for a total of $30 ($5 Savings).
Are we sure that there is no difference between the data plans?
"Preferred Smartphone Unlimited Web Only
Smartphone Unlimited Web Only"
"T-Mobile Smartphone Unlimited Web
For people who love having the Web and e-mail at their fingertips. Includes unlimited Web access and unlimited personal e-mail."
Always looking for some monthly savings
nothing beats the 5.99 unlimited Tzones..
Just got off the phone with a CC rep and as most here have stated it is the same as the $25 web plan just cheaper
And for the Nokia Nuron....it is one of a couple of phones that get the $10 plans for what ever reason.....maybe because the download speeds are super slow My GF had one and the speeds on it sucked and the text messaging was pretty buggy....she ended up returning it.
Thanks for the heads up. I can also confirm that the CC rep told me there are no differences in speeds.
Just switched to the $20 Preferred Unlimited Data and $5 for 300 Texts (is it me or was there a 500 texts for $5......). Saves $10 a month, hopefully I won't go over the 300 texts.....500 would be perfect.

4 lines. the family plan is 90,unlimited
talk only on 2 lines, each additional line is 40, 20 for unlimited text on all lines. 20 unlimited web on my line and 30 unlimited blackberry web on another. plus the 5 insurance. 245.
I'm thinking of switching to the even more plus, i lose subsidy for upgrades, but it's cheaper, 140 2 lined unlimited text and web and calls, plus 30 for two more lined unlimited calls and text. 200, i do mind losing the subsidies, so maybe I'll get new phones subsidized and then switch (you're still bound by the contract, but It's less month to month)
oh and i got offered the 20 plan online, turns out i had android web and it was incompatible, so i was forced to chose the cheaper plan, no complaints, i hope it fixes the slow connection i have though (100 kbps down on 3g)
Wonder if it is really for long term customers or Tmo is just hooking up us HD2 owners
Loyal Customers
I Called T-mobile CC last night and they switched it over for me no prob... Haven't noticed a difference in speed or anything like that
