T-Mobile commercials
Now that I've finally seen some of the T-Mobile TV commericals, I've got to say that I'm pretty disapppointed.
I just saw the "auctioneer" fast-talking commercial last night and while I thought it was well written and everything, I don't understand why T-Mobile is advertising their unlimited "family talk" like it's something brand new and unique to them. Every carrier has that, and has for some time now! In addition, I don't remember that they mentioned you could call anyone on T-Mobile, not just people on your plan.

Dork #1 flips open his Nextel phone, locates it via GPS...and gets back to dancing with his buddies as the music kicks back in. I laughed so hard I nearly choked.

Because they're cute, still apropos and feature the family plans. Why spend the huge amounts of money to produce a commercial and NOT get your money's worth out of it? Commercials are paid for by customers--I'm okay with the advertising department not breaking the bank to keep up with the Joneses. We're adding customers at a nice brisk rate as it is, we have no pressing need to pay millions for advertising when word of mouth about our inexpensive plans, great call quality, excellent coverage and outstanding customer service is free and way more effectiv...
