So by now you may or may not have seen T-mobile’s commercial about Billshrink.com. Well, I decided to try the site out, I put in my info and after battling the site’s login system (I had to setup my account twice), the site recommended a new plan for me. This new plan was offered by none other than t-mobile, and would cost me an additional $30 a month. Now whats funny is that the site could also help me buy the t-mobile plan, so I wonder if that even though the site is not owned by t-mobile if t-mobile is still somehow causing billshrink.com to view them more favorably.

Jenny from BillShrink here. Just wanted to assure folks that we are indeed an independent, unbiased site. We post all the plans from the major carriers and while T-Mobile does offers some value plans, many people find Sprint, Verizon and AT&T to provide the best plan for their coverage area and phone usage.
As for your results, you may be one of the lucky 20% who are currently on the best plan. (There should have been a message above your results that indicated this, but it’s good feedback if it wasn’t clear or visible enough). If this was the case, then the recommendations would show you alternate plans, but those would not be able to beat the price of your existing plan. Happy to answer more questions if you’d like to reach me at info@billshrink.com.
