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).
1. Sign up for a free account.
2. Get your GC phone number.
3. Add your T-Mobile phone as the number GC will forward the calls to.
   
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.
