New Data Only Plan coming?
We received the following from one of our most reliable sources:
Effective Wednesday, June 28, T-Mobile is pleased to announce the launch of a voice barred version of the $29.99 Sidekick Unlimited Plus rate plan. This version of the Sidekick Unlimited Plus plan is being introduced to cater to those who do not require a voice plan on their device. This plan acts the same as the stand-alone Sidekick rate plan, but without the ability to place voice calls.

for example, I would assume if you’re deaf. and you dont want incoming calls. this would be ideal for you.

there you go. That way you don’t have people calling you on that phone @ $0.20 a minute. I may go this route.

Ok thanks, I’m sticking with the regular data plan, also since I had insurance on my sidekick II, dey said I still pay the same rate for it on my sidekick3,($5.99) so does that mean insurance would be more expensive for others since it is so new?

I called at 12:01 and the idiot told me they wern’t ready to be purchased until 1:00 eastern time. OS i tried calling again and someone else answered, and everytihg went fine. I got 2 yr. for $299

i don’t know if i could have done the 2 years only for 50 bux less it seems like such a long time. so i did the 1 year

ya, i dont have the sidekick 2, but im gettin the new sidekick 3 after it comes out, so im guna be new to sidekick, and that whole data only plan is perfect fo me cuz i only need the data, i got another phone with a different service!

guys im confused i was browsing tmobile.com a while back and i remember choosing a voice plan and the SK 2 data plan which read to be $20 when inside of my shopping cart.
is the data plan $20 or $29.99?? i was confused before this too because i had also seen that the plan was 29.99 on the site..but its 20 when i put it in my cart??
which one is it
June 28th, 2006 at 5:49 pm
k im guessing it was just because i added a voice plan to it. 20 with a plan and 29.99 without a minute plan.
