@bigdawg I just checked on attws site and I think you are mistaken. The comparable plan on att to t-mobiles "whenever, wherever" is the mLife Digital One Rate plan (NOT the mLife National plan, which only allows you long distance for free from your "home" area but not when you travel around, then you do have to pay for roaming) the price on their site for 650 mins WITHOUT nights and weekends is $79.99 !!!!!!!!
The plan you are comparing to is not cheap either, the mLife National plan is as follows:
40¢/min Addt'l Airtime
00¢/min On Network Domestic Long Distance
20¢/min Off Network Domestic Long Distance
69¢/min National Roaming Rate
$36.00 Activation Fee
With a 12 month or a 24 month signed contract you receive:
200 Additional Anytime Minutes each month
Unlimited Night and Weekend Minutes per month
and that's 49.99, but as you see you pay $0.69 roaming !!!!!! compared to $0.00 ! on t-mobile !!!
@greenmonk - it is on their website, just saw it, go to the plans and look at the $39.99 plan it says "Weeknight minutes" - "unlimited"

yah, they updated their site since this morning with the new rates. I'm off to amazon to get my free t68i.
BTW, not only have they added free nights to the 39.99 600 anytime plan, they have also added a 1000 anytime minutes plan for the same price. A suprisingly knowledgable rep said this was available only in CA and NV, but has now been rolled out nationwide. Note you get NO unlimited times, nights nor weekends, with this plan; essentially, do you want free nights and weekends, or an extra 400 anytime minutes?
personally, I think the anytime minutes will be more useful to me, as I think i rarely speak more than 400 minutes after 9 and on weekends anyway, and if you arent using more than 400 minutes in that period, might as well have the max anytime minutes. Plus it makes figuring out what you have left in your plan for the month MUCH MUCH easier, since it all comes from one pool. And there is no contract penalties whatsoever to switch between plans Ive been told, so if I DO end up using 400+ night/weekend minutes, I can just switch! cool.

thanks to ME for keeping everyone updated about t-mobile's promotion.
RE:1000 / 39.99
indeed, it WAS only offered in california [national rate plan]. the one they have right now isnt identical to the one they offered before that comes with unlimited weekends.
also...
T-mobile gave away flyers on last month's bill saying COSTUMERS NEED NOT to extend contracts when changing rate plans or UPGRADING contracts.
again, thanks to me. LOL

Actually you are the one who is mistaken. The mlife national plans do allow to move around on AWS network. T mobile offers almost the same thing. The One Rate plans for AT&T allow you to roam on any carrier inwhich AWS has roaming agreements with and you will not be charged for the roaming. The advantage is that AT&T has a larger footprint than T mobile if you are discussing TDMA coverage or Multi band coverage. GSM coverage is where AWS still lags behind Tmobile for coverage.
