T-Mobile Embraces Unlimited Data* With New T-Mobile One Plan T-Mobile has again shaken up the wireless carrier's pricing plans, replacing past plans with a new plan that focuses primarily on unlimited data. According to the company's announcement, T-Mobile's new "T-Mobile One" plan offers unlimited voice, text and data for $70 per month for the first line, $50 per month for the second, and $20 per month for each additional lines up to eight (just as long as the subscriber uses auto-pay, prices being $5 more otherwise).

T-Mobile says users can stick with their existing plans or jump over to the new T-Mobile One option. But contrary to T-Mobile's hip theatrics here, users may actually find themselves paying more under the new plan. There's also a few caveats. Video on the unlimited T-Mobile One plan is throttled back to 480p by default, as was the case once T-Mobile launched its Binge On zero rating program. To upgrade to HD quality video, consumers will need to pay another $25 per month. The company's fair use policy also still applies, with T-Mobile reserving the right to throttle back customers that consume more than 26 GB of data in any given month. If you use your phone as a hotspot under the T-Mobile One plan, you'll find yourself throttled back to 2G (around 128 kbps) speeds. T-Mobile's latest marketing salvo comes one day after AT&T announced that it would be following Verizon in eliminating overage fees (instead throttling users to 128 kbps). "Only T-Mobile’s network can handle something as huge as destroying data limits,” said T-Mobile CEO John Legere. "Dumb and Dumber can’t do this. They’ve been running away from unlimited data for years now, because they built their networks for phone calls, not for how people use smartphones today. I hope AT&T and Verizon try to follow us. In fact, I challenge them to try." More detail on T-Mobile's unlimited T-Mobile One plan can be found in the full release or the company's video below. »twitter.com/JohnLegere/s ··· 10829056

White Plains, MD 18 recommendations xrobertcmx Premium Member I don't see this as a good deal Pay more, get less? I have 5 lines on T-Mo. Why would I increase my bill by $70 (5 lines, one unlimited data without video degradation) to get the same service. 4 of my lines hardly ever use data, and when they do it is to stream Pandora or something similar that already is white listed. If they want to offer unlimited data, offer it, get rid of the caveats and the gotchas and just offer it.

Tmobile has been positive with their changes ... Up until now.



I think John is about to leave the company so he wants a nice bonus with this higher priced plan new people have to get.
