    At least it is a start... If VZW had something similar, I would use almost 0 anytime minutes-- '5' is sufficient for me, although I am irked that Tmo doesnt include M2M calling:O

    I agree... I didn't think T-Mobile was going to copy My Circle exactly, but I don't think that making customers choose between having 5 and having T-Mobile-to-T-Mobile, unless they pay an extra fee, is pretty lame. Luckily, as of yesterday, my mom, dad, wife, father-in-law, friend who calls me a lot and brother are all on T-Mobile... if I could only get my brother-in-law to switch, that would cover about 95% of all my calls.

    Well T-Mobile has never included M2M, so it was kind of expected. I think it's a pretty good deal.

    I have included unlimited T-Mobile-to-T-Mobile on my plan... or did you mean without a contract?

    You said it was lame for you to have to pay extra for M2M with a myFave plan, but M2M has never been included (for the exception of family plans) on the regular plans so much less on the myFave plans.

    Oh, okay... so stand alone plans never included mobile-to-mobile? Interesting. I had never really looked at stand alone plans for T-Mobile because I started out with two lines on a Family Time plan.

    Yeah, I think we're the only carrier that doesn't include M2M on individual plans. I'm okay with it anyway LOL. So you're getting the KRZR? Looks real nice. I'm going to get the new BB Pearl.

    Well... I'm not. My brother is the one with the money but I get to play around with it a little bit and he's giving me his RAZR when the KRZR gets here. A woman I work with has the BB Pearl... I don't like BBs that much but the Pearl looks niiiiiiiiiiiiice.:browani:

    Oh it is! My co-worker got one, the thing is the same size as my SLVR just a little smaller in height, it's amazing. The screen is out of this world and playing videos on it is just phenominal. I can't wait to get it along with the myFave that's going to be release a week from tomorrow.

    I don't see what the problem is! Just have several people move in with the others! You'll only have 5 people then. What's the problem? :D

    It's not meant to give you unlimited calling to everyone, it's meant to lower your usage and having to be able to talk to 5 people you talk to the most.

    Too many relatives in too many states to make a choice like that.

    That is a nice Blackberry, I might consider one of those in the future.

    As for the my 5, I would need more like the Alltel My Circle with 10 to be safe.
    Speaking of that, did anyone see the new commercial for the My Circle? with the Cingular, Verizon, T-Mobile & Sprint guys eating lunch? I prefer the different carrier "mascots"

    The Pearl is great, and I think MyFavs will be popular. Although you do need a specific phone (there are about 10 at launch including the Pearl) it does cool things. you get to design your own icons for each of your favs, they are ALWAYS on display on your device, and you can direct send SMS, MMS, voice or video clips, or call them, all from the quick favs menu.

    True, but most people replace their phone every 12-18 months anyway.

    I do it every few months apparently **slides away the new 8125 replacement** and sad thing is I think I'll do it again when the 8525 comes out and the price drops a little bit.

    I was under the impression that the "5" plan was for individual lines only not family plans.

    It's 5 numbers per line. So it's not a total of 25 number for all the lines. And it is offered to family plans and individual plans.
