The Chief Operating Officer of T-Mobile, Mike Sievert revealed that starting from May 31st, “every T-Mobile customer’s phone number will be upgraded to DIGITS for free.” DIGITS is a top-of-the-line beta program that supports inter-connectivity between your mobile number and other compatible devices such as phone, tablet, smartwatch, computer, and more thereby eliminating the heck multiple phones and multiple numbers, especially for business. DIGITS was actually introduced sometime last year but T-Mobile said that feedback from customers will be used to tweak DIGITS before it launches officially later this month.

DIGITS will make amazing connectivity possible. For instance, you can set your calls to ring on both your smartphone and your connected smartwatch or PC. You can also send a text message from your laptop. And for a limited time, adding an extra DIGITS talk and text line will be available free of cost. In fact, it will be given to all customers active on the T-Mobile ONE Plus plan. This offer will last for a limited period and be available as long as you stay on the plan.

Businesses can now simply provide a digit line to every employee thus skipping the process and cost of setting employees up with new devices and work numbers. They can also keep tab on the sales department with DIGITS as everyone in the sales department can now get calls and all associated contacts with recent history.

Phones from Verizon and AT&T will sport DIGITS as T-Mobile had earlier announced a spectacularly simple way for Verizon users to switch to T-Mobile services. DIGITS also gives more security and privacy as your extra DIGITS can be used in situations where you don’t want to expose your main number. With the specs of DIGITS, it is definitely the future and is obviously a very reliable alternative for telecom users who are looking forward to dumping that cumbersome landline.
