Not true. The representative that was helping you on the phone may have told you this, but it is false.

(I have a familytalk plan with 2 lines for me and the girlfriend, I've got an iPhone 3G and she has a BlackBerry Curve.)

When I called in, I got this really cool chick, chatted it up with her, got her to add the MST4 on the line that has my iPhone 3G (gf has the Curve so she has unlimited to anyone with AT&T for 4.99 or w/e), she then added the U200 to my phone line, AND then added it to my gf's line as well. So even though we are on a familytalk account, we each get an additional 200 minutes on our lines.

Want proof? Check out the screenshot below =)




I had to call twice to actually get a rep to do it. The first rep told me that it was an "expired" code and that she would get fired for adding it. I just hung up and called back.

Good luck.

Is the code "TMS4" or "MST4" because the first post has it as "TMS4" and when I called it and gave them that code, AT&T said it was an expired 4 yr old code???

It's definitely TMS4 because it's now on my account. I've heard of people having to call multiple times to get a rep who knows what they're doing and can add it, so you may want to try again...

The rep even told me that TMS4 code will not work on the iPhone 3G so I had to get the 1500 for $15 or the unlimited for $20.

So I called again and was told that a FAN number on my account did not make it a Premier accout but just gave me a discount. So since my account was not considered a premier then that is why the TMS4 code was not showing up on the list of features that could be added to my account.

Does anyone know if you can have a FAN number not be considered a Premier customer?

holy crap, it freakin worked!

3rd times a charm. it seems to be the lucky number. maybe they are keeping a record of how many times you call. i called this morning and got the tms4 code added like if it was nothing. first person said it was only for business accounts where the business pays for your phone usage. second person said its an expired code. third lady must have checked it out because it took 5 minutes of me being on a silent hold (i had to check my phone and make sure she didnt hang up) but it was worth it.

im so stoked. thanks guys for whoever discovered this.

Nice...Like I said, if the rep doesn't do it, don't get frustrated. Just politely accept their answer and then just call right back. It was very easy for me to have the extra 200 minutes added on my account, but had a tough time getting the text messages added. I got the "speal" about the codes being expired as well, and kind of gave the dumb voice and said well, I just got this email from my boss...all my co-workers have it, LOL...

It's also how you present yourself. I always strike up a conversation with the rep while they have me waiting, just small talk, or ask them how their day is going or the weather, W/E...

Good Luck.

yes. i have a guy "on the inside" and he's looked up every code he could find and was unable to find tms4 because it is a business code and the stores can only search regular codes. I showed him the tms4 and he was blown away, even showed his manager cuz he's been searching for it himself.

you pretty much need to call for it, stores wont be able to help.
