T-Mobile recently changed its plans and stop subsidizing phones. We are wondering if the T-Mobile spokesmodel got the pink slip when plans changed. Let's look at the latest commercial and compare plans.
In the latest T-Mobile commercial there are bad cowboys in black hats and one roughneck changes his hat to T-Mobile pink. The bad cowboy says "You're going to do what we say." Then the radical cowboy says he's going to do "something better."
"Finally one of the big wireless carriers is going to stop restricting people from getting what they want," the announcer say.
The question then is, "IS T-Mobile is offering what people really want?"
When the new plans were announced we revealed that the "web" was not truly unlimited, data started at 500MB for the $5o plan.
Text and voice are unlimited with all the plans. In truth people don't need unlimited voice any more because because they are making fewer voice calls.
The film maker in the behind the scenes video is that metaphor shown is that the four cowboys run a town and the one cowboy leaves. The four cowboys are like the four big carriers.
The cowboys don't tell us where the T-Mobile gal went. Why couldn't she come in in leather on a pink horse?
Meanwhile, T-Mobile is still the only carrier that lets you use Wi-Fi to talk on your phone at no additional charge. Using Wi-Fi use also cuts on down on data use for web surfing and video viewing since the data is really not unlimited.
However, some analysts and newspaper columnists (David Pogue) are saying that the new T-Mobile move is radical by ending long contracts and you can use any phone that works.
Pogue noted in the $60 a month plan compared to Verizon's $100 a month plan wills save $960. The $70 T-Mobile plan compared to Sprint $110 month plan would save $960. The best part however is that T-Mobile eliminated the 15 seconds of instructions for leaving voice mail, that wasting not only cellular minutes but people minutes, too. He reported that owners who don't upgrade immediately when their contracts are over continue to pay phone subsidies.
Pogue didn't answer the main question. "Where did T-Mobile gal go?"
We ask our readers in the comments below. Who do you like the better the scruffy pink cowboy or the T-Mobile gal in the pink leather?
