Maybe I am not looking in the right spot... But didn't T-Mobile have a killer $49.95 family share plan (with two phones, then $10 per line? - I only need two)

I was going to leave Nextel for them to save some money... How is the coverage in CT these days (I live and travel between Torrington and Trumbull)

That plan is gone. All of the carriers raised their lowest share plans $10 recently. TM is $59.99; the others are $69.99 AFAIK.

I dont meen to be off subject but WOW you're from Torrington (or at least near it)? Thats crazy! My mom was born there and I have friends there.

So I don't know about T-Mobile coverage there, but I can tell you about Sprint coverage there lol.

I know,

sprint/nextel coverage seems OK - I just wanted to move to t-mobile to save a few dollars :-) (even $10 a month is 120 a year) :-)

maybe I should stay with nextel???

Well I know that Nextel is starting to roll out some pretty classy phones (I've known about the Motorola i870 for some time and it finally appeared on Phone Scoop - www.phonescoop.com), so it wouldnt be a bad idea to stay with them, especially if they are working out well for you.

Another idea, before leaving Nextel you can do the 14-day trial period T-Mobile has and try out the coverage everywhere you go. If it works, keep the phone and drop Nextel.

I remember when that happened, late July, if I remember correctly. I had just changed to the $49.99 Family Time plan when it went away.

Yeah it was removed on the 29th. It was non-promotional too (meaning NO contract extension to switch to it). Now the cheapest Non-promotional familyplan we offer is 69.99. The 59.99 plan requires a contract extension.

Really? When I called CC they made me verbally renew for 12 months to get the $49.99 plan.

There used to be two versions of the 49.99 family plan. One with unlimited nights (promotional) and one without (non-promotional). By accident, the non-promotional plan as not grandfathered a few months ago and was still available. As you can see above that has been changed.

Oh, okay, I've got the promotional plan, then. Too bad, thought they'd have to remove my last renewal.
