The good news is in the case of T-Mobile we do not require you to sign a contract to make use of MyFaves. If you are using an unlocked phone that is not "supported" by T-Mobile the MyFaves client will not show up on the phone but you can go online to My.T-Mobile and set your MyFaves. The calls to and from those contacts will then be billed airtime free. They keep their network as open as possible to any unlocked GSM phone and will provide any help they can to setup unlocked phones.

For a car, this would be analog to stay all the time in first gear. So they have designed a new space rocket which works as it has a five-gear transmission system. This space engine uses 40 percent less fuel than current ones by running on solar power while in space and by fine-tuning exhaust velocity. But as it was designed with funds from the U.S. Air Force, military applications will be ready before civilian ones. Here is how this new rocket engine works."
