Well, you have probably seen other service companies recently raising their prices and T-Mobile has decided to do the same. So the bad news is T-Mobile will be raising the data plan prices on the Sidekick and some of their other phones on November 16th.  Check the chart bellow to see the new data plan details.

T-Mobile just announced that they will be launching a new home phone service. This new service will provide current T-Mobile cell phone subscribers the option of getting a home phone plan for only $10 a month. A very nice deal considering the average home spends about $65 a month on their home phone service plan.

The service seems to be as good if not better than what most phone companies are providing. All T-Mobile customers who sign up for the new service will be receiving unlimited nationwide long-distance calling, call waiting, caller ID, three-way conferencing, voicemail, call forwarding and other features. In addition you will also be able to use things associated with your cell phone on you home phone such as CallerTunes. Customers will be able to start subscribing as soon as July 2.

On Monday T-Mobile made it official that they will be providing their customers with greater flexibility within their plans. So what do they mean by this? This just means that they will be reducing the costs of their early termination fees or ETFs.

Starting on June 28th customers of T-Mobile with a one year or two year contract will see their early termination fee drop from $200 to $100 if they end their contract with 91 to 180 days left on their contract. If they end a contract with less than 91 days left on it, they will pay a termination of fee of $50. Finally for customers who terminate their service in the last 30 days of their contract will either pay the $50 fee or their monthly subscription rate, depending on which one is less.

To go along with the early termination fee changes T-Mobile has also announced some plan changes.

• T-Mobile FlexPay^SM: A program that offers customers access to nationwide long-distance calling and roaming, the latest phones, and T-Mobile’s great rate plans including myFaves^SM — all without having to commit to a long-term service agreement or make a hefty deposit.
• Prepaid Plans: Flexible plans that give customers the freedom to communicate with no annual contract, no credit checks and no monthly bills. Prepaid options include:
  • Pay By The Day: Recently introduced, this option costs $1 per day only on days when the phone is used. In exchange, customers get unlimited 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 As You Go (previously named T-Mobile To Go): Customers can purchase minutes as they need them. Customers who purchase $100 in refills become Gold Rewards members and receive 15 percent more minutes on all future refills.
  • Sidekick Prepaid (previously named Sidekick To Go): T-Mobile Sidekick® fans receive unlimited domestic e-mailing, Web browsing, instant messaging, and text messaging for $1 per day, and nationwide calling costs just 15¢ per minute.
