    How to get out of your contract, even if you have unlimited texts...

    If you don't have a messaging plan, doesn't this eliminate you from being able to complain about the charges since messaging is classified as an optional service? I do see how it relates to people with messaging plans since it is not an optional service once you start subscribing to it and it becomes a part of your mrc.

    On the same page, I do see where T-Mobile may not have a choice in the matter for those that want out thanks to presedence set by other carriers (Sprint most recently) when they changed their per-message charges.

    How to get out of your contract, even if you have unlimited texts...

    I just called t-mo and talked to a rep...

    She confirmed that the $0.15 charge was for MMS messages (although I know I've sent MMS messages to other phones without being charged). She also confirmed that I do indeed qualify for early termination without the termination fee due to being charged for MMS. I technically have not been notified about the change in rates yet because of when my billing period falls, so I have until Sept. 1, 2008 to cancel without the fee.

    So for those with an unlimited plan, if you can figure out how to get charged for a message, there you go!

    Huh? If you have unlimited data and unlimited messaging, why are you paying $0.15 a piece? Wouldn't you be paying $0.00 a piece since you have unlimited texting?

    The change to $0.20 doesn't go into affect until 8/29/08, but they have to notify you before the change and give you a chance to cancel before it actually goes into effect.

    Sending an MMS via email and sending an MMS to an email are totally different things.

    I was charged for sending an MMS to an email, which according to the rep was not included in the unlimited messaging package. I have attached a screenshot of my June bill showing 333 total text messages for the statement ending June, but a charge of only $0.15 for the one message I sent to my buddy's email. I also have a similar charge for the prior month's bill.

    How to get out of your contract, even if you have unlimited texts...

    Last week I was having issues with sending MMS which was finally resolved. However, while I was on hold with TMO tech, the only way I could send MMS were two ways:

    1. Edge network
    2. Wi-Fi sending to email address (ie [email protected])

    The rep told me that if I send MMS via email that there is NO additional charge. I'll have to look over next months bill to see if that is true or not. I have the $19.99 unlimited text (any kind) family plan.

    I don't know about that, I've sent several MMS messages this past month to other cell phones and have not received any charge for it. The only charge I received was the one MMS i sent an MMS to my buddy's email.

    If you are affected by changes made to the CONTRACT, then yes you definitely can get out of the contract without paying the termination fee. This is from the t-mo contract:
    And this is concerning the rate increase from the t-mo site:
    Based on me having an unlimited messaging package, yet being charged for an MMS message (whether to an email address or not), the increase in price from $0.15 to $0.20 is a change that materially and adversely affects me. I am sure that I can get out of the contract since I was charged on my last 2 bills for these messages, but for those who haven't used MMS to an email and haven't been billed/charged, you may have a harder time canceling.

    I'm not canceling because, like i said, my contract is up in a couple months anyway, but it's nice to be able to know I have the opportunity to jump to an iphone (uh, no thanks) if I really wanted right now. I'm actually waiting until the Bold comes out for t-mo (hoping!), then threatening to jump ship since my contract would be up and see what better deal they can get me to re-up my contract (going with 1 year this time).

    How to get out of your contract, even if you have unlimited texts...

    Go to a contact that has a mobile number and an email address.

    Click the menu button, select MMS, and it will give you a choice to send to the phone number or email address. Select email address and send.

    I don't have any text plan at all so the few texts I have sent came out of that initial $5 in the flex pay account they give you,does that matter because technically I haven't been charged for a text yet. So will this change still apply to me enough to leave without a etf?
