Who here still have the old MyFaves account and/or the T-Mobile@Home landline?

**tivoman** · 07-03-2012, 02:56 PM

Just curious who still has MyFaves or T-Mobile@Home (landline) on their account? After 3.5 years with TM I still have MyFaves on both accounts and one account has three T-Mobile@Home landlines on it.

I still have @Home. I just used the upgrade on that line for my GS3. Expensive, but I get to keep my @Home line since I did it online.

I still have myFaves on my 2-line Family Plan (Preferred 600 minutes - $49.99).

I have unlimited MyFaves and Hotspot @ Home UMA calling on all my lines.

**reedacus25** · 07-03-2012, 07:00 PM

3 lines with myFaves, 2 with 5.99 T-MobileWeb and 1 with 4.99 t-zones, 3 unlimited H@H add-ons, 9.99 unlimited messaging for the family, and $10 @Home VoIP. Grandfathered quite a bit here.

I ended up swapping the @Home router onto the family plan on the 2nd acct since the add-a-lines are $5 and the "WiFi Calling" addon makes it unlimited anyway. saved me $5/mo

i dont use the Wireless part of the router anymore though, since it is just G and my connection is now too fast for that

They should bring the service back and also come out with some new equipment.

I agree. I think it's a great concept. I bought a backup @Home router just in case mine bites the dust.

All three of my lines have myFaves, and one of them is in an @Home router. It's not actualy an @Home line though, but with M2M and nights/weekends it's practically unlimited and I can put the SIM in a regular phone no problem. I too used my @Home line for a phone upgrade. I got a Vibrant for free and sold it for $400. I figured the ETF was only $200 so I was still gonna come out ahead anyway, which I did because my two year contract for that phone is almost up.

I still have it. 5 lines on my account, 3 w/ TZones, 1 w/ @ Home, 4 lines w/ MyFaves. I also have 3 small business accounts for 2 different companies with 6 @Home lines, 2 w/ TZones, 6 w/ MyFaves plans. All lines have UMA also on them. Will never change any of those plans. Also had my brother-in-law get it at the time. He has 1 @Home line on his account.

I was fortunate enough to have the myfaves added the other day to my preferred family 600 plan.

No @home though. At this rate I don't think I'll get anywhere near 200 mins out of the 600.

I wonder what the chances are that I can add Tzones though.

I started using my @Home router again recently with a prepaid SIM in it. For work-from-home days where there's a lot of phone time necessary, the $2.00 per day pay-per-use plan works great. Definitely not economical if you're doing it every day, but for a couple times a month it's made sense so far.

The trick to getting a prepaid SIM to register is to get their online chat support to add a 911 address to the line, by the way.

You can finally add an E911 address through My T-Mobile for your prepaid account. That option was there from a long time ago but it kept giving an error - it finally works now. Added an E911 address to both of my prepaid accounts. Now I can put a prepaid SIM in the second SIM slot in my @Home router for a cheap second line.

I just gave up my two @home lines, porting the numbers to Google Voice to use with the Obi talk 100 device. So far the sound quality is much better with Obi. I used to have a lot of white noise on one line and the occasional interruptions on the other line with @home. The Obi call quality is crystal clear and I'm very happy with it.

I have the $49.99 Family plan with 600 minutes, unlimited nights & weekends, myfaves and $5.99 T-Zones plan on one and $5 preferred phone first on the second. I ported my $10 @Home to Google Voice and use it on Obi for free as well.

When I login to the T-Mobile site, I see an option to add a line-level 150 whenever minutes for $5 or 300 whenever minutes+300 any texts for $10. Does anyone know how these addon minutes are used if I add them to my line? Do minutes come out of this bucket first or the 600 shared minutes bucket first?
