The $40 1000 minute nationwide anytime minute plan has already come and gone.... you've missed out However, the $50 3000 anytime minute (no weekend minute) regional plan is still here, and you can get it now.
Chefofthefuture, what are you on about? Take a look at T-Mobile's homepage and put in a California location. The current deal is: 1000 anytime minutes Unlimited weekend minutes 50 text messages (used for things like VM notifications) No roaming within the US No long distance within the US $39.99 And for $6.99 you can add unlimited nights (2100 to 0659, that's 9:00pm to 6:59am). OTOH, I know many people who signed up for the family plan (800 shared minutes, unlimited mobile-to-mobile, unlimited weekends, no roaming or LD, but you can't add nights to it) and just keep the other phone turned off and in a desk drawer.
You must be in Los Angeles -- that deal is gone now in the SF/Bay Area (sorry for not better specifying that).
Kindly contacct me. I'm interested is posibly getting t-moble. Eric (914) 737-0735 abapreseric2002@yahoo.com
