Cheap SMS (T-Mobile)

[theformula]

If this is in the wrong place, sorry mods.
I called T-Mob USA today for an upgrade and was sent to a "customer retention" department after threatening to defect to another carrier. Long story short they dropped my unlimited text & MMS down to $9.95 and gave me $75 off my new wing (herald). Just thought I'd post and help some of you save a buck.

Thanks fella. It worked like a charm, got unlimited txt & mms for $9.99 for both lines. I was paying the same for just 1000, but it looks like you saved 4 more pennies then I did, lol. Also Tmobile told me you have to be a preferred customer for them to do this.

Hi,

I notice your signature:

Amateur Cook: Lookin to be Taught by an Executive Chef

The best way to become good cook in my view is just to start and read a lot. I spent a lot of time and it is a lot of hard work to become a good cook. It's not about being taught it's about reading, learning, and testing.

As stated before I've flashed my device at least a hundred times before I was able to produce a working rom. We will assist you as needed, but it will be up to you to get it working.

Main point, it takes time and some hard work and you will get there.

You can ask anybody my first few releases had issues but I had to learn how to fix the issues and now my latest version seem to be working okay..

Good luck and I know you will get there soon.

Well thanks ttran001. I'm still trying to put together my own release, but I still need a bit of help. Mostly just simple things. I've been reading alot, and I think thats one of my problems, because I take in so much information, I don't retain it all. Maybe if you get a free minute, when your not working on one of your Great Roms, you can give me some basic tips, and tricks.

i paid 260 - $50 rebate for my wing. for a 1 year contract. I'm still paying 19.99 for unlimited text for a family plan. and I got this deal else where than a threatened tmo.

I did call tmo to cancel my old line, and they offered a wing for $360 on a 2 year contact.

Well I guess i can post how much my wing was. I used this promotion from t-mobile.


Status: Promotion still available as of 02/20/2008

Call T-Mobile Business Direct at 866-464-8662. Push 3.
Give them the promotion code "Windows Mobile" (yes that is the promotion code).
Say no to text plans, internet plans, phone insurance and accessories.

Phone is $99.99 with $50 rebate = $49.99.
Free Shipping, Activation fees waived, 1 year contract

Thanks jello for the original deal (which was for $99 after rebate). The original thread can be found here.

For people who have ordered it for $149 in last 20 days (30 days in california) can call Tmobile Business Back office and ask for the credit back (I did and got it back).
UPDATE: Lot of people (almost everyone here after I posted) are reporting that now they are not offering credit for past purchases. I would suggest to do a phone exchange in that case, as it doesn't affect the line/phone number. And yes, even people who have ordered other phones can exchange it with this offer, if they had purchased it with a new line in last 20 days (30 in CA).

I personally have this phone and can vouch that this is really great phone (MDA and all variants are blown away by the stylish wing). For the first time I have found a phone with decent camera too.

I paid $150 for it on Howard Forums. It came with all retail packaging and it was in perfect condition. I've since scraped the winkey and the left softkey a little bit. That made me sad. :(


But I did just get a clear hard plastic case for it for $6 yesterday. So hopefully it doesn't take anymore abuse. I <3 my Wing.

weird, my unlimited text and internet is already $10. they were running some sort of special when we signed up though

[iheartphones]

This deal sounds interesting. I pay $4.99 for 400 sms/mms. I wonder if I can get this deal if I called. My contract is not finished for another month or so, but I have been signed up for t-mob since 2003... maybe that makes me a preferred customer?

[coolcuboy89]

i tried calling. My father has been with them since 2002 (voicestream) (he has been with them CONSISTENTLY, i only sign up for new accounts under his name). i have had several accounts with them, i usually let my contract expire and jump on a new deal for a hot phone.

the issue is, now i use a WING with the 39.99 Myfaves 300 plan, and 9.99 for 1000 texts.
my contract ends in May ( i got the 1yr deal with the wing for 99.99)

I called complaining about iffy (staticky and echoe-y) service upstate NY (where i go to school) and the rep seemed so nonchalant, even repeating to me several times that he wouldnt want me to leave after 6 years. So i explained to him that i personally knew several people with the 9.99 UNLTD text plan (i have been going over because i use OZ IM) and i was ready to switch to Sprint in may (SERO plan) if he couldnt accommodate my request. He acted indifferent and said he could do nothing for me.

So unless it was just a rude rep, can someone please explain to me how i should go about attaining this deal? I really want it.
Thanks
