Get FREE Incoming Calls on T-mobile!!

tmobile my faves and grandcentral gives you free incoming callsT-mobile already offers some cheap wireless plans and data rates, but if you want a decent amount of monthly anytime minutes and an unlimited data plan, you’re going to be ponying up around a C-note every month. Even if you don’t have an unlimited data plan, you can still save money by downgrading your plan and adding the T-mobile myFaves feature. You see, myFaves allows you to choose 5 numbers in your “My Fave 5,” for unlimited nationwide calling. Any call you get from a number in your myFaves group, will not be charged against your wireless minutes.

And that, my friends is the secret to free incoming calls. You see, there’s this great service called GrandCentral that allows you to create a GC number that will forward all calls to any phone number you choose.

T-mobile “myFaves” + GrandCentral = FREE incoming calls!

  • Subscribe to T-mobile myFaves (the “My Fave 5″ plan)
  • Get a GrandCentral number
  • Set your GC number to forward to your T-mobile number
  • Add your GC number as part of your myFaves group
  • Have everyone you know call you on your GrandCentral phone number
  • Enjoy FREE incoming calls and a lower wireless bill!

      […] I really like T-mobile despite the fact that I work for one of its competitors. In fact, I recently decided that I would check to see if I could save money by using the employee rate plan that I am entitled to by my employer, but after I added my Blackberry data plan and a sizable text messaging package, it wasn’t worth the few cents I would save to cancel my contract. Well today I started thinking about a service I signed up for recently, but haven’t used much yet. GrandCentral (recently acquired by Google) is a service that gives you number that can then be forwarded to a number of different places (home, cell, work, etc.). I signed up for the beta awhile back and haven’t really played with it that much since, but today it occurred to me that since all of these numbers presumably come from the same “number” perhaps I could add it as one of “my five” and all of those calls would be included in myFaves. I haven’t tested it yet, but after looking around to see if anyone else had he same idea, it seems that this will work. […]

      I have tried as described above but my inbound calls from GC are not coming in as myfav. Does it still work or has it been suspended?

      haven’t tried it yet but, ringbranch.com offers a service where your outbound calls can also be made free if you have the faves option.

      You put the ringbranch number as a fave. Then dial out to the ringbranch number and it has a personal auto-attendant that lets you go through a list of your contacts.

      So, theoretically, incoming calls (thru grandcentral) and outgoing calls (thru ringbranch) can be made free!

      I don’t have t-mobile yet but I’m planning to switch now that I know.
      I wonder how long before they find some way to crackdown on this “hack”
