I have t-mobile and I am really sick of not having 3G or a new blackberry past the curve (Bold is #1 choice for me right now, tried the Storm and was not impressed). However, after shopping around, neither of those providers can compare to t-mobile’s price.

Currently I have unlimited minutes for myself and an additional line.

T-mobile Costs:
$150 for plan with unlimited minutes and texts
$10 for additional line with same benefits
$20 for blackberry internet services

Cost before taxes and fees: $170.
After taxes and fees, etc, total price is $200.

AT&T Costs:
$99 for unlimited for one line
$99 for unlimited for second line
$30 for BB internet on one line
$20 for unlimited text on one line

Costs before taxes and fees: $250

Man what a rip off, I really wanted to switch but can’t justify an additional $80 a month for 3g.

I have to have unlimited because we use $5000-6000 minutes a month for the business and to get a plan like that on AT&T they would want $329 straight up for 6000 minutes and unlimited text (completely ripping people off and they don’t even know it, calling it “family sharing” lol).

This may be more of a rant, just wanted to hear other people’s thoughts, maybe I’m not understanding something here?

One a side note, I hope T-Mobile gets their shit together and releases a 3G blackberry, as they have 3G service in Orlando and only 1 phone to use it, the G1. They just released a new blackberry, but it’s not 3g, what the fuck were they thinking?
