Many would think this isnt a big deal... but for those that arent able to fork out $400+ initially on a phone this will be a huge deal for t-mobile. I'm telling you right now if they start this and they get the LEO ill just have to deal with their coverage because I will be switching.

tmobile already does payment plans... have like 3 friends that have been doing it since right around the touch pro 2 releasing for Tmobile

Lots of scrambling beginning to take place with carriers. Something tells me that Walmart's entry onto the cell scene, will mix things up even further ...

If T-Mobile gets better coverage then hold on. lol

Don't be too quick. At first blush, I thought ... "never work for me, either". I'm told that it does include data, and that the primary infrastructure behind WM is Verizon. Who knows where it will lead ... but if it gets the other players attention, then ... who knows.

Because of my connections I have been doing this for some time. I think it is a very good idea. Having your bill go up maybe 10 20 bucks rather than paying outright is not a bad idea. T-mobile's coverage is still behind. I'm not interested in switching. Keep an eye on Sprint's stock. With their new plan I expect to see it climb. They are making some smart moves. Changing companies over a phone is a dumb idea. No offense.

...and I'm in NO WAY interested in any cheap phones/plans like jitterbug or boost. Walmart getting into the fray is laughable. The flat 50.00 of some of those companies per month attracts people who are contract-phobic, but the problem is the coverage is no match for the big guys and isn't worth the time.
