This post confuses me as well, Sleighboy. I have T-Mobile and this year I moved to 600 minutes from 300 and back to 300 with no contract extension. I was under the impression that T-Mo only required a contract extension with their promotional plans (like the 1000 minutes for $39.99 one.)
Technically T-Mobile allows you to change plans at anytime and "backdate" it, without contract extentions at anytime, with the exception of promotion plans. Key is ANY plan with "Unlimited Nights" or $39.99 plans with 1000+ minutes without nights are called "promotional", but additionally, plans with "FamilyTime" or "MyFaves" is also promotional which require 2-year extentions. The problem then lies in the online My T-Mobile site, which shows me, I CAN get a MyFaves plan WITH Nights WITHOUT extentions. As for regular plans, I can switch to those but forget the nights included, but I already have a grandfathered add-on stand alone for $4.99 for nights. So could I technically change to a plan without nights and still use this add on?

Yes, and this isn't talking about T-Mobile, this is talking about Verizon.
