T-Mobile MyFaves Hacks


What is T-Mobile MyFaves?
  • MyFaves allows a T-Mobile user to add 5 phone numbers as their free-call numbers. Any calls to or from the 5 phone numbers do not reduce the minutes in their call plan. You can read more here, What is MyFaves.
So how do we use this to our advantage?
  • Using www.grandcentral.com for local calls (40 mins free).

    4. Add the GC phone number as one of you MyFaves.
    5. Add contacts to your GC address book.
    6. Use the Click2Call feature.
    7. GC will dial your contact and you will receive a call from GC with your GC number.
    8. The standard charge is 2.5 cents/min and a free account gets $1.00 credit. So you get 40 minutes free. And any extra minutes are much better than T-Mobiles 40 cents/min charge.

I will definitely try these methods out. Thanks.

Grand Central is owned by Google now. They are on an invite only system.

Voicestick requires a $10 deposit. Still worth it if you are about to go over your minutes like me.
