October 2006 is looking to mark some major changes for the States' fourth-largest carrier, dropping their corporate branding in favor of what you see above -- a decidedly... well, bubblier font, along with a fresh slogan, "Stick Together." The color scheme (pink, and lots of it) carries over, but the spokesperson, Catherine Zeta-Jones, does not. On a related note T-Mobile is taking the opportunity to launch their myFaves service (reminiscent of Alltel's My Circle) which lets customers place calls airtime-free to five folks of their choice, regardless of carrier. It seems a little sketch that they're restricting the use of myFaves to certain handsets with special firmware -- but with plans starting at $40, we suspect plenty of folks will be willing to pick up new hardware to get in on the action."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/augusto-20061002-myfaves.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/><br /><br />Being able to talk to five people, on any network, for an unlimited amount of time is cool, especially if you have a talkative child or your work requires you to be on the phone for extended periods of time. On the other hand, one of the main reasons I moved back to Cingular was because <i>everyone</i> I talk to is on Cingular so now I get to talk to them for free! :roll:
