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..

whoa that sucks.. nah, im just asking for the G1 phone bill.. as an individual
$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

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
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.

I paid $138.74 last month. (this was with 1 additional line, just added another)
Soon to be paying for another contract for another phone since Family plan only allows for 5 phones at the max. There's 6 in the family. Sigh.
Oh how it is to be 20 years old and pay for the phone bills, electric bills, gas, and water.
mine is $87.16/mo (after my 10% discount through my employer)
$49.99 for 1500 mins

Expensive
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
i got unlimited minutest with my fav 49.99
unlimited text message not picture for 9.99
g1 unlimited with 400 message 25.99
and 12 discount
after taxes $84
Loyalty Unlimited: 89.99
Extra Line of Unlimited: 39.99
Unlimited Family Text: 9.99
3 G1 Plans(Yes three): 24.99 x 3 = 74.97
----------------------------------------
Total: 214.94 - %10 Discount from Freelancers Union
----------------------------------------
Total: $193.45 or $64.48 per phone unlimited everything

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: $105
i don't if anyone notice but recently i believe june 1st, tmobile decided to raise the cost of g1 plans. i was on the phone with them yesterday because i got a g1 for my wife and it turns out that the package i had for 24$ which includes 400 txt, is now gone. you have to pay the 24$ for internet and another 4.99$ for txt.
That's how mine has been since last December, and it was the same way with my old unlocked blackjack.....

I got my G1 a few months ago and signed up for the unlimited loyalty plan: unlimited minutes for $49.99 and unlimited data with 400 texts for $24.99. I don't think I'll ever switch plans again.
Hmmm, weird, 'cause I've had my G1 since about a week before it was offered to the public, and I have had the Unlimited Everything plan for $35.00. I have had this plan and still do, for the same price. And as far as I know, it hasn't changed for any new G1 owners.

Thats what i had, then i switched to a family plan, same deal pretty much. tmo sucks with their price changes. When I had a sidekick the plan was $25 for unlimited everything besides voice, then when i bought the g1 the lpan went up to $35.

Yeah im on the same boat with a 4-way family plan ... best deal ive seen
everyone should go to freelancers.org and sign up..u can get up to a 12-15% savings on total bill take five mins to do it on the phone.
best of all its free!
Hmm so with the 400 text messages...does that mean 400 sent and received or just sent? Cause with My Account it only shows the sent text messages...I don't wanna run up the bill more than it already is.
I wish I didnt have Flexpay so I could use the new BillShrink they offer....anyone have luck lowering their g1 plan with it? Im paying $91 and some change a month. 300Min, Unlimited m2m, Unlimited data/text. unlimited 5 faves.
Yup the family plan is the way 2 go

thats not how billshrink works. billshrink is a third party website that you input your typical cell usage, texting, etc and it compares price plans for all of the major mobile carriers and tells you which one is going to have the best plan. it doesnt actually make your bills smaller with tmo.
Crazy how you have to pay for text, my boy works for tmobile and said it does not cost tmobile any money for text messages.

Tried this, T-Mobile wasnt accepting it or something. I called them twice.
Okay, so I am on at&t, and me and my mom would be transferring over to T-Mobile since the plans are cheaper.
My plan right now:
900 Min anytime(w/ rollover since its at&t) = 69.99
Unlimited data and text = $30
Total = 98.94(with taxes usually 101 or 111 and depending if I use KGB or not lol)
Plan when I am t-mobile:
Unlimited Min plan $69.99(Same price as mine on at&t)
Unlimited data and text = $30
Basically Ill be paying the same thing for more, and I wont lose or gain any money(Savings wise). So the subsidy doesn't bother me, what bothers me is that I don't know if I can change that 500 min plan.
Anyone got any pointers(I chose unlimited min because of the lack rollover).
My bill has always been 100 dollars, so I can get the full package because I cant go over 100 dollars.
The Tmobile plan includes data and text, it's not $30 extra.
Yeah, I think the plan you're required to get as a new customer is 79.99 for 500 minutes and unlimited text and data. But yes, after you sign up T-Mobile will let you know move to a different plan if you wish.

You can only move to a higher plan... so a 1000 minute plan will run you 89.99.
Tito...just go for it and enjoy!
this is the way the t-mobline plan works
500 min daytime min 39.99
unlimited data plan 30.00
unlimited txt plan 10.00
so it adds up to 79.99. you CAN call tmobile to upgrade minutes because you are just on their "Even more 500 min" talk plan.
this was read off my tmobile account summary so it is right
Phewwww. . . I thought I was gonna have to live with that 500 min plan. So I can change it when ever for sure?
Whoops, I did mess up on the pricing lol.
Unlimited Plan price = 59.99
Unlimited text = 10.00
But even then its the same price.
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
What do you have to say to get the bogo offer?
