T-Mobile Has Landed

[Ben]

So, by now you've all heard of T-Mobile's new contracts called Flext and the excellent value they offer. You also may have heard of Web n Walk, the staggering data bundle giving you up to 1GB of on-handset usage for just £7.50 - the same amount charged on some networks for 1024x less!

This will probably be of more interest to the majority of you. T-Mobile has bolstered its Mates Rates PAYG tariff, offering 5p/min calls to other T-Mobile customers, with two new packages.

Everyone gives you 12p/min calls at all times to everyone, xnet! Text messages cost 10p.

Text Appeal gives you mind-numbingly cheap 3p text messages to everyone, xnet, with calls costing 20p for T-Mobile/Landlines and 40p xnet.

So there you have it. T-Mobile own the contract, PAYG and data markets, all at the same time. Perhaps the most boring mobile operator of all time just became by far the most exciting.

I don't think for one second you'll be on your own there, crazy_lil_al! These tariffs are far too good to shake a stick at.

T Mobile has really got its act together, the last time I was with T Mobile I was so disgusted by there service that I took there sim out of my phone after the first month of the contract and threw it in a drawer, I then got a 30 day Vodafone contract and even having 2 contracts still worked out cheaper than using the T Mobile sim on its own.

I'm back with them again and so far so good, but its only been about a week so give it time that sim could be finding itself in the drawer yet. I got the Web n Walk bundle this time which should help greatly as it was £7.50 per mb before, and N95 is a data hungry beast be it transferring map data for the GPS, or internet browsing.

If T Mobile let me down again this time round I'll be hiring a dung sprayer and there local offices will be getting a shiny new coat of organic paint lol. :D

Lets hope they don't. I'm still not convinced by their network coverage, not that I've experienced much of it, but everything else about them really surprises me. I hope to give them a good tryout myself, one day, though they do seem to favour the long-term-contracts on Flext/Web n Walk and I've been spoilled by all the Voda 30-day goodness.

Perfect network for the N95 though - good HSDPA coverage, good WLAN coverage, plenty of data and all the texts and MMS included in Flext. If only Voda still included my MMS in my allowance :(
