a big plan on T-Mobile

[greenblood]

since T-Mobile will drop Total Internet to $20, it's pretty good time to renew my contract by
1. change my BNP 600 to FamilyTime 1k promo, since I am not big talker, no N/W is OK, but I still want m2m
2. get T639 with discounted price
3. add Total Internet and Any400 with my plan (Any400 and Total Internet will move to secondary number)
T-Mobile will gain $15 more from my pocket, and keep me for 3 more years (will explain later), and I'll get a dedicated number for internet
sounds good, right?

but sorry, I won't get T639 till end of next week, because it'll be done on 12 Sept

3 years? even if you resign its only for 2 years from the latest date, so how are they gettin you for 3 yrs?

[greenblood]

we will go to Afghanistan, that I have to suspend my contract for 1 year
that's why it'll be 3 years

[kinjutsu11]

ah, that would make sense, is it military? Because if it is, T-Mobile will let you out of your contract if you show proof.

[Mystictrust]

free suspension would let him keep his grandfathered stuff, like that promo, and anything they change in that year. (greenblood isn't going anywhere, he loves T-Mobile)

18 months free suspension for military reasons FTW! [It has helped me big time holding onto my plan]

[greenblood]

I'd suspend my account instead, because I don't want to lose my 4 years old number
yes, it's military deployment

[kinjutsu11]

Ah, i can't believe i didnt think of that, doh!

Thats excellent that Tmobile will let you do that in the Military!! What a nice alternative to cancelling your contract all together.

I'm pretty sure that all the wireless carriers will do this as well for $10/month.

greenblood, will TMobile suspend your service for free till you come back, or is there a service fee associated for doing this?

[greenblood]

yes
but the first month of suspension, the last month bill will be prorated, if you make a call when roaming, the roaming bill will appear later
all I want to say T-Mobile is pretty nice towards deploying soliders

[kinjutsu11]

Normally, for a suspension, it can only be 3 months at a time.
Example.
Jan-Suspended@$10
Feb-Suspended@$10
Mar-Suspended@$10
April-Pay the month
May-Suspended@$10 ....so on

So, with military, do they make you do it 3 months at a time, or all the time necessary? And is it still $10 a month, or only the first month?

[greenblood]

you can suspend your account up to 12 months with no extra charge, but the contract will be pushed back too

It sounds to me like T-Mobile is one of the best carriers when it comes to showing support to people that are in the military.
