T-Mobile: Unlimited calls/texts to other T-Mobile users - £5 for 5 days
I had to put the whole detail there in the headline. It was too good to split up.
Phil Lattimore over at Total Mobile posted a note about T-Mobile’s mates rates pass earlier this week.
It’s a pretty cool deal for Pay As You Go customers. Here’s how it works: You pay five pounds. For the next five days, you can send unlimited texts and make unlimited calls (fair use) to anyone on T-Mobile.
When the five days are up, you can pay another £5 and get another 5 days of unlimited usage….
Theoretically that means that you could do this 6 times a month and get unlimited calls and texts — costing you a very reasonable £30 a month. Or, another way to look at it, unlimited usage of the T-Mobile network for a quid a day.
Very cool.
Have a look at the details: T-Mobile Mates Rates five day pass
Alas this is just yet another reason as to why I feel a plonker sat here with a T-Mobile *contract* that offers no such wickedly cool deals. Hmph.
together with Vodafones recent “£5 for your little family unit of 4 to all call each other” deal; this shows how desperate operators are becoming to get more customers signed up.
Because a quick survey in our little office and only Mark could go on to this £5 pass; but he doesnt know anybody else on t mobile…so he would first have to tell all his mates to switch network. I think t mobile/vodafone are massively over-estimating how likely this is gonna be. Why would I switch from my voda contract just for a gimmick which will be surpassed next month with another totally different deal.
my t mobile rating will be going down tomorrow…7/10 for trying; 3/10 for execution; 10/10 for desperation

Posted by steve procter on November 24th, 2006 at 1:54 pm.I really like this 5 day pass from T-mobile but the only problem is that T-mobile doesnt have the pull of people like it did in the pass- there was a time when almost everyone was on T-mobile network- but now most people including my self are on another network. So it may seem like a bargin but whos on T-mobile anymore?

Posted by rachel on May 24th, 2007 at 2:37 pm.Great to have, but if you are like me trying to get your next bundle of 5 days pass between midnight and 5am it is impossible to get through. You can’t get your pass till 7-7.30am the next day. Any hard and fast rules on this people? I am getting really annoyed

Posted by mo on June 14th, 2007 at 1:29 am.first you’ve gotta switch to Mates Rates on T-Mobile, then simply top up 5 pounds (150) then phone 879 and keep pressing 1 till the lady shuts up and takes your money, then your free to go Crazy!

Posted by tamz on August 18th, 2007 at 7:04 pm.it’s not fair and t-mobile is loosing costomers than before
to tell you the truth some of my mates are deprest because they used to do 5 day pass every week because they could afford it but now they can’t afford it and can’t do 5 day pass wich means they can’t keep in contact with other mates.
it’s not only me who hates the way it isbut there is other people
please i hope you change it
its not fare im not rich u no i used to always do it n now its lyk i neva do it cos i hav 2 fo £10 at least if it was 4 7 days dat wud b worth it for 7.50 but no its now officiay so crap!!
Posted by rima on August 24th, 2007 at 2:36 pm.t mobile are cons! if there gna bump the price up they might as well do d pass 4 7 days! im gna switch 2 vodafone, atleast their offer is better!!!!!!!!! £7.50 for 5 days, dnt tink so!!!!!!
