prepaid plans- VERY limited coverage on T mobile

Just bought a new QUAD BAND Sony Erikson z520a unlocked GSM phone for use in Europe, though I live here. Want to find reasonable prepaid plan on wide GSM network. T mobile reasonable rate but seems very limited coverage. Looks like they are not using their 850 band for originating calls. Any idea if this will change. Any other ideas for prepaid coverage, mostly for US to US calling. Thanks.

Holsters?

Where are the TMobile holsters? It seems they only offer leather cases but not holsters. I find myself walking into Verizon/Cingular stores looking for a holster for a TMobile phone. Is there a reason they don't offer it but the others do? ๐Ÿคจ

Switching Back

Ok so I have had cingular for over a year and no complaints about service. However, living on my own i use more than 450 minutes. Cingular's next plan up is 59.99 for 900 minutes plus i pay 4.99 for 200 text msgs.

Only plus is i get 18% off my bill every month cause of where i work. (i get the same at verizon and sprint)

Now T-Mobile has some nice plans....

39.99 for 600 minutes and unlimited n&w
39.99 for 1000 anytime and no nights and weekends

49.99 for 1000 and unlimited nights and weekends


My question is can i come back on a 1 year contract? I have the Nokia 6102 on cingular and love it. Also does tmobile give corporate discounts like cingular and others do and if so how would i find out?

? for TMo users

I have an unlocked L6, using it for prepaid. I was trying to download ringtones from 3gupload.com but when I tried to connect to the internet, it said user barred. Is the internet off limits for prepay customers or am I doing something wrong. Any help or answers would gladly be appreciated.

unlocked phone showing cingular as carrier in san diego, normal?

Hey all T-mobile people, a quick question, please ๐Ÿ™‚

My roomate bought an unlocked Motorola L6 quad band phone (to replace his t-mobile branded Moto 360) and when he changed the sim card, the home screen on the phone shows cingular as the carrier.
We are in San Diego. He configured T-zones and that works just fine (with the T-mobile online tool). He is concerned about the Cingular name on his screen. I did a network search from his phone and all I got was Cingular appearing twice (as if it was two networks), but T-mobile never appearead. Is this normal in San Diego or is he somehown roaming on Cingular and not getting a T-mobile signal? I think he is concerned about roaming charges, even though I keep telling him he shouldn't. But maybe...

No More Notebook ... Best Phone for EMAIL? Internet?

When I travel I have lugged around my 6.5lbs notebook computer much too long now.

I would think with EDGE and the advancement of phone email clients I can find a nice phone to handle my simple email and internet needs especially while on the road.

I need to get a phone where I can read and respond to email ... accessing my POP email accounts.

It also would be nice to be able to visit a few web sites and make a few message board posts using the phone as well.

What phone would you suggest? Any experiences you want to share?

Who knows the secret?

Okay, remember the Wal-Mart thing? You know what I'm talking about. Okay, so I've tried a variety of websites, and cannot find one that will accomplish what Wal-Mart.com could. Anybody have any ideas? Maybe I'm incompetent, so some detailed instructions on what I'm doing wrong might help. I have been sending the Http://www. website, and been having no luck. HELP!

Hi all, nice to talk to you. Do any of you out there, perhaps in the know, have an idea if or when t-mobile will be getting these new blackberry's? supposedly they had been approved by the fcc a few weeks back and some expect them to have some features the current ones lack:
flash/sd slot
mini usb
better processor
more memory
better bluetooth

I need a new device, and don't like the setup of the mda and have heard mixed of the 8700g. Thanks for your help....

Supposedly tMobile is going to add more cell sites that will cut down on no-service/dropped calls in zip code 18042 (Easton, PA). Just wondering if any tMbobile folks out there have any new news on this?

Thanks very much for any and all assistance!

Prepaid Service....

I am thinking of getting a prepaid phone. I am on a family pla with my girlfriend, and I want to use my current line to get a wireless card through tmobile for my laptop. Would it be cheaper to go for a prepaid service, or to just add a line to our family plan. I do a lot of instant messaging on my phone, but don't use alot of minutes.
