--This is my first post, Thanks for looking at this post.
My contract is expiring this weekend and I just called T-Mobile to let them know that I am going to swith to other carrier due to too much monthly charges.
After considering my used minutes month by month, which is average 300-350 min per month for two lines, the representatives offering another not-advertised plan:
-500 min to used per month. - unlimited night and weekend - unlimited T-Mobile to T-Mobile call.
priced at $49.99 per month for two lines.
Not sure whether anyone can call and get this offer, but it is a good rate for 2 lines with less minutes used. --------
Update: I just called T-Mobile and they accept 600 min per month with $49.99 per month with all the above feature. Update: finally extend the contract with MyFav at no extra cost, so total only 49.99 per month.

Out of curiosity, which (major) carrier is cheaper than T-Mobile?
I think it's a good deal I like you never used their 700 minute plan with two lines when I was under contract and believe it or not they actually called me after the contract was up and said they noticed I wasn't using my 700 minutes and would I like to change to their 500 minute plan for $49.95 a month I said sure and thanks for calling me and asking and I did not have to extend the contract. This was a couple years ago and I am still on it.

i rather spend $10 more for the extra 200 minutes (their plan $59.99 for 700 minutes family plan)
because if you happen to go over, it's 40 cents per minute. and that's just 25 minutes over equal up to $10.
I just re-upped for 2 years w/ T-Mobile under their loyalty retention MyFaves Family Plan:
600 shared mins My Faves 5 (Unlimited calling to any 5 phone numbers you choose, regardless of mobile/land or in-network/out) Unlimited night & weekend (not sure if I get unlimited mobile to mobile) 1st two lines were $49.99 (additional lines $9.99) they also offered me a discounted unlimited family text (5 lines for me) for $9.99
I also called and got the 12% AAA discount which has a pretty long discussion in the Hot Deals forum.
It will be a while until the new plan and discount take effect but I think my total bill with taxes will be around $125-$130 a month for 5 lines w/ unlimited texting and 1 line with 3G data. Not too bad, and much cheaper than At&t or Verizon for those of you who are/will be out of contract and looking to perhaps re-up with T-Mobile. I also upgraded my 5 phones @ new subscriber prices with the added bonus of not having to pay any activation fees.

Now this is what I call a deal. cheaper, along with the $10 UNLIMITED text.
That's the same plan I've been on for years. Actually, we added another line for $10. So the 3 of us split 500 minutes. Can't switch carriers because all other family plans cost more and I don't use that many minutes a month.

Thanks for posting this! I'm currently at 39.99 for my 1000 minutes, free nights/weekends and I don't even begin to touch that 1000 min. as most ppl I talk to are TMo too. On top of that I have my son on a prepaid. Since I'm out of contract, I might have to give this a shot.
Going to have to try for that 600 min/My faves deal, that'd be great for us!
This is used to be an old plan..then they changed it to 700 mins for 59.95.. ok deal for you depending on your usage. Best part is unlimited T-Mobile to T-Mobile. but if you happen to go over mins or use too much text get unlimited text and move to 700 mins. cause each xtra min is like 40cents
I have had this plan for years as well, the only problem is the plan is not in their system for web upgrades. When I try to do an upgrade online I get an error about the plan, and a msgs to call. This kills any Cash Back opportunities.
The plan is perfect for our needs, no text (turned off), 500 min shared, free mo-to-mo
This week I also renewed a two year contract with T-Mobile by callling the customer loyalty department: Two line family plan $50/month.(added 12%AAA discount later but not sure it will pass or not) 600 any time minutes unlimited night and weekend; unlimited tmobile to tmobile 5 my faves on each line.
Calling the customer loyalty department is really helpful.

I have used their 500 minutes plan for almost 4 years now. I got 3 lines in this plan and it is perfect for my family because we usually stay below 500 minutes. We will just use less and less minutes because "Google Voice" in the future. Let me show you guys what my statement looks like. I got this 10% discount from "freelancer" but T-Mobile just raise their fees here and there to balance out the 10% discount so I'm actually getting no discount. The total is usually around $70 after all the taxes and fees for my 3 lines family plan. How much are you guys paying for this 500 minutes family plan for 3 lines? The only problem is that you can NOT go to the local stores to get this plan and get some new phones. You can probably only call TM to get this plan.

You can still upgrade new phones at local stores and able to keep this plan
I just called t-mo and got this deal. I had to call a 2nd time and get connected to "cancellation". The first time I called was via customer care, and the csr gave me all this bs talk that what I previously had was the lowest plan ($69.99 for 2 lines). In the 2nd call, the guy was all enthusiastic. I said I'd like to be moved to the 49.99 plan with 2 lines and unlimited nw, mtm, with 600 anytime minutes. Funny, at the end of my statement, he quipped DONE! I followed up by saying I want to make sure I keep my unlimited family text for 9.99, he again quipped DONE! Then I made sure this wasn't extending my contract and he said I PROMISE. hahaha Thanks for the tip OP! This saves me $20 a month from here on. Yey!
