My post on how to get a discount from T-Mobile was very popular in the past month. Simply fill out a form online with some well-known codes is a very easy job but it can save you a lot of money every year. T-Mobile just announced the new smart phone—T-Mobile G1which is supposed to be the direct competitor of the Apple iPhone. The T-Mobile G1 is the world’s first Andriod powered mobile phone in partnership with Google.

The G1 is kind of a combination of T-Mobile SideKick and T-mobile Wing to me. Because it use Google developed Andriod Operation System, you can use a lot of Google stuffs like one-click Google search and easy access to all Google Applications - Quick and easy access to the Internet in one click. One touch access to Google applications: Maps (including satellite, traffic and street views), Gmail, YouTube, Calendar and Google Talk.

Specific feature of this phone: dimension—4.6 x 2.16 x 0.63 inches, has a 3.1-megapixel camera, weighs 5.6 ounces, features a 480 x 320 HVGA display, sports 3G (obviously), GPS, supports up to 8GB of memory. This phone also has touch sreen, 3G/WiFi and full HTML internet capabilities.

I can see an upgrade information in my T-Mobile Account. It shows $179.99 to me and has black and brown color options. You have to choose date plan for this phone. An unlimited data plan will cost $25 per month, while unlimited data and messaging will cost $35 per month. It will be never cheap to use a “smart phone“.

I have been using T-Mobile for two years and never got any discount from them. I searched on the web for a while and found that there are many opportunities out there to help you save a lot at T-Mobile either for keeping your current service or adding a new line. I summarized some of them and hoped that this will be of help to MyCardBlog.Com readers.

This is the one that I’m using and it’s free to anyone because anybody can be a member of Freelancers Union (no membership fee).

Here’s how:

Register an account at Freelancersunion.org and get a member number (free and easy!)

Go to Freelancersunion.org and click “Discounts” at the top of the home page
