New Plan Pricing

I am still thinking about switch my T-Mobile ToGo service to a Sidekick only plan to take advantage of the roaming network. However, I currently pay $30 a month for sidekick service, which does not incur any state taxes (I believe). If I switch to the $29.99/month Sidekick only plan, what is my monthly bill actually going to look like (taxes, regulatory fees, etc, I live in Chicago, btw)?

Thanks

Upgrade Plan Without New 1-Year Extension

I've had 2 SE T610's with the Basic Family Plan for 19 months and would like to upgrade the plan to the new Basic Family with 500 minutes and free nights, but keep the old phones for now. The T-Mobile Rep wanted a 1-year contract extension which seems very steep for the 100 extra minutes and free nights. Since I am NOT upgrading the phones is there a way to do this without a contract extension?
(Otherwise Cingular with free Razr but new contract seems awfully tempting.)

Something Different......

I have a been a Verizon customer for about 19 months now.
I live in Gainesville, Florida(zip code 32614) but my Father lives in Long Island, New York(11706) though my Verizon phone may or may not work up there. My bother-in-law said he uses his T-Mobile phone up there in the Tri-State area and he always had coverage.
I bought the T-Mobile to GO Phone as a back up in case I need to see my Father foe emergecy operation. I figured by having or using two different cell technologies one has to work up there.
With my Nokia To Go Phone I bought the $100 prepaid card that gives me 1000 anytime minutes. It works great here where I live. I use that phone for my day calls, and the verizon for the unlimited night and weekends.
I tri...

T-mobile and VoIP

Firts let me apoligize if this has already been brought up in the forum, then I'm sorry for the repeat question. I currently work for sprint and was asked a question that I couldn't answer about t-mobile's voip service. My customer was switching to sprint (she recently moved to the outer edge of town and her t-mobile just doesn't cover there) but wanted to know if sprint was offering the voip service that she has with her t-mobile.

I had heard that they had a service that they were going to start where you could plug your cell phone into a box connected to your high speed and have unlimited calls with you t-mobile number through the voip service with no overage. Is this out already? I hadn't heard.

Thanks for any info.

SK II Refurbished Phones Backorder???

What is going on with the replacement SKII’s, I have had a replacement on order for 3 weeks now. Each time I call in they say they are still on backorder. My current SKII doesn’t get signal unless you are next to a T-Mobile cell tower. Anyone out there know what is going on, or maybe when this backorder will be over? I have called customer service, however they keep telling me it will ship within the next few days, I have heard this for a few weeks now.

Sidekick ToGo Question

I am thinking about switching my To Go service on my sidekick to a "real" plan, because I occasionally travel to an area that is only covered by Cingular (don't know if it is 850 or 1.9 Ghz). Can my current Sidekick be transfered from To Go service to a contract plan (also I have a PV-100, which I know does not allow access to 850 Mhz do they offer the PV-108 and would they offer me one at a reduced price)?

Thanks

Coverage in Fayetteville, AR?

Hi,

I'm moving to the area soon and wanted to hear from folks in town about Tmobiles coverage. I haven't had issues with them anywhere else but when I went to interview at UA my coverage was spotty at best and kept switching me over to AT&T but even that was hit or miss. I was getting ready to switch phones but then I remembered the coverage issue and wanted to check with people in town that have it. The map has pale gray highlighted around the town--ie limited service but some exists for some folks somewhere in town. Your help would be appreciated.

T-Mobile ToGO Roaming?

Do "Tmo To Go" plans allow people to travel outside of the T-Mobile network (Cingular, etc), and what extra charges are incurred?

T-mobile and Comcast?

Has anyone else read this:

http://www.t-mobile.com/company/pressroom/pressrelea ... »

or this:

http://www.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/stories/2004 ... »

This sort of thing would put T-Mobile in a very nice position to start using UMA capable phones when they start coming out. Any thoughts?

My systems are currently upgrading... BS!

So is it just us, or has Samson been unusually sucky ever since the 6.0 upgrade? It's been incredibly slow, crashes more or less constantly, won't come back up for long periods of time and in general is giving me a gigantic migraine. It drives me nuts to be typing for a full paragraph on my notes with nothing coming up on the screen, it takes five minutes to get a usage summary up and just when I'm almost done with something it crashes and good luck getting back to that record if you didn't write it down on a stupid little piece of paper!

Grrrr, I need a day off... 😈
