I'm not a tmobile subscriber, but my mother is.  I know basically nothing
about their services.  She had a new contract for two phones on the family
plan, June 2004, at the going rate of 400 minutes shared for, I think,
49.99.  The current offer is 500 minutes at the same rate.  She's under the
impression that if she wants to change her plan she only has until the end
of April to accomplish this.  Why?  Is there an expiring offer?  I can't see
anything like that on the website.  I thought she should wait until June so
she could get two new phones (whether they use them or not).  Does Tmobile
lock you into another 1-year whenever you change terms within an existing
contract?

Thanks for any help.

That's BS. T-Mobile always claims you can change your contract terms
whenever you wish, with the clause that you will be signing a new-contract
effective that moment. I've done it plenty of times. Thanks for reminding me
to call customer care to upgrade to the 500min family plan from my existing
400.

Yes. On the day you change your terms in the existing contract, you will be
locked into a 1-yr contract effective that day.

Oops, maybe I phrased it wrong.  She and I know she can change her plan at
any time; she thinks the 500 for 49.99 is expiring; is it?
