T-Mobile FlexPay Plan, FlexPay Billing, and FlexAccount FAQs

[bryankm282]

So, just to clarify,
I can get ANY T-Mobile rate plan on a FlexAccount, I just have to pay for the full month of service up front as well as full price for the phone? So for example, I can get that promotional 1000 for $39.99 and add-on and just pay for full retail for the phone, which all has to be paid up front?

Is this true because when i went to store I brought a flexaccount plan and they told me that I couldnt get promotional plan with flex account

The store rep told me the Get More 1000 plan for $39.99 would include unlimited nights and weekends. However, I just spoke with a CS rep and she informed me he was mistaking, and that Flexpay must pay $10 extra per month for unlimited N&W. I guess that's one major con to Flexpay.

No. You can NOT get the 1000 for $39 plan with FlexPay.

Not true for the N&W. All plans that are on T-Mobile's website will be enacted upon FlexPay accounts the same way they would on a normal post-paid account. There are NO differences in service unless specifically noted in the FAQs that I posted.

A $39.99 Get More 1000 Plan with Unlimited N&W will not be available for FlexPay because it is a promotional plan just for post-paid. All other plans will have exactly what the plan says that it includes.

ALL plans are available for flexpay users with the [b]exception[b] of PROMOTIONAL PLANS (1K NWs plan, 59.99 1k fam, etc), @Home addon, and REGIONAL PLANS. So by common sense and some good reading, no, the PROMOTIONAL 1000 N&Ws plan is not available for flexpay

Actually, it is available for Flexpay users that are on contract. Month to month Flexypay is not available. This is because that plan REQUIRES a 2 year contract.

so can you get data plans as add-ons like the sidekick plan or blackberry plan. if so ill grab a sidekick

Correct... The 1k w/nights and weekends is available but the system is smart and is only available if you do a 2 yr contract. I think it even blocks you from selecting 1 yr in watson. And I know activations will not activate it with a 1 yr either...

On the t-mobile website it list the plans. Now we can't get the 1000 minute plan because it is promotional. But my question is this: it goes from a $30 300 minute plan to a $59 plan. Is there anything in between that perhaps is not listed? The only option in between those prices is the promotional 1000 minute plan.

Any ideas?

Thanks


p.s. I assume we can't get myfaves added as it says you need a 2 year contract for a myfaves account.


edit: Nevermind. I looked on wirefly. I assume for 39 a month I can get the get more plan with 600 anytime minutes and unlimited night and weekend

[eimajuno]

I would think that t-mobile will probably bring back the 600 min plan for $39.

Yes, you can get myfaves plans with monthly contract flexpay. For non myfaves, there is 600 for 39.99, 1000 (no n&w) for $39.99, 1000 (with N&W) for $49.99 in the spot between 300 and 1500.

Bring it back? It never went away. This is the most popular plan among Asian customers (at least the ones that deal with Asian dealers). That's because they almost always activate for 1 year and with the 1000 plan requiring 2, they won't activate (although I've heard of some corrupt dealers calling in to activate 1 year on the 600 and then after getting off the phone changing the plan to the 1000).

Now I just read somewhere that there is no activation fee, that cant be right, is it?

I was just going off the website. I agree its a very popular plan. I would say it is the most popular plan that I activate customers on as well. Unless the $39.99 for 1k w/NW is out. For my market, so cal, it doesn't seem to be on there.

[eimajuno]

does anybody know if flexpay will support blackberry data plans? that bb8320 sure looks good to me.

I might be interested in something that for myself personally. I am just wondering how they would bill for it and what kinda of usage the customer would get. No Contracts for me, personally.

Website only has 2 year plans. No point having 600 with N&W for $39.99 when you have 1000 for the same price. It should be in Watson or you can call into Activations.
