Like many people, I ran into the problem of running out of my 500 anytime minutes on T-Mobile family plan that I am on. Very few people know that each and every T-mobile plan (even a 20$ plan for 60 minutes) comes with atleast 500 'conditional' forwarding minutes. What this means is you can forward calls to another phone (landline/cellphone) and these minutes comes under this 500 forward pool , and not from your main pool (500/600/700 or whatever 'anytime' minutes you have).
Here 'conditional' important, as opposed to 'unconditional'. Each phone has different settings, but mine (the great :-) Audiovox SMT 5600 windows mobile) has four options under Call forwarding.
Unconditional --> Don't chose this one. Except this one, you can choose any of the following
No Reply -> For this option, My phone lets me decide after how many seconds the call will be forwarded.
Unavailable ->
Busy ->
You may see that by default, there is a number already set (Usually it is T-mobile voicemail number). Just edit to the phone you want to forward it to and change it back when you are done.
Effectively you have 500 additional minutes, as most of the time you are either in the office or have another phone available.
