T-Mobile is offering a new option for its prepaid customers. This new plan allows customers to pay $1 a day and get all the benefits of a post-paid contract. The offering is very similar to the GoPhone option that AT&T provides. Basically, for $1 a day, you get unlimited nights and weekends and calls to other T-Mobile customers. All other calls are 10 cents a minute. Also, texting is affordable with this new plan. You can send a text for 10 cents, and receive one for 5 cents.
Pay By The Day gives customers the wireless value they want without long-term commitments. The new prepaid plan only costs $1 per day for the days the phone is used. In exchange, customers get free T-Mobile to T-Mobile calling all day and unlimited nationwide calling from 7 p.m. to 6:59 a.m. All other domestic calls are just 10¢ per minute and text messages are 10¢ to send and 5¢ to receive.
Pay By The Day joins a growing family of prepaid options from T-Mobile, including Pay As You Go (previously named T-Mobile To Go) and Sidekick Prepaid (previously named Sidekick To Go). With no annual contract, no credit check, and no monthly bill, prepaid plans are a simple, direct way to go mobile.
This excerpt from the press release says it all. So if prepaid is your thing, then this is a great new option. It is not a bad deal, and it is great if you do not want a pesky contract. I know you are itching to get in on the action, so head on over to this page to sign up for this new plan.
I bought a prepaid phone from TMobile and I am very disappointed by the service!!! I bought the plan, and then called to another US number that provides international calling services. I called the number then connected to another number in Europe. Basically T mobile should charge me only for connecting to that US number and another company has to charge me for the international call. However, somehow T mobile charges me for international calls although they did not provide that service. Customer service just told me in their system my call appears as international. This is a stupid situation. Imagine you buy a prepaid international calling card from Wal-Mart and then call to toll free number to make international call. T mobile charges for calling the toll free number and also charges the international call according to their rates, although they did not provide that service to me. Customer service told me that they do not support prepaid cards and it is written in the contract conditions. I could not find anything about it in the contract. In any case, TMobile does not have right to charge me for the service that you did not provide!!!
Absolute insanity. With Google giving me a free phone number or three, free calling, and free texting, these yahoo’s are serious?
I don’t get it. The idea is to lower the price.
