T-Mobile to Offer (True) Unlimited Data

Could an unlimited data plan be in the works for T-Mobile customers?  Although the company already technically offers this plan, it’s not completely unlimited as the name would have you assume.  According to the above leaked document, however, a literal unlimited data plan is in the works for September 5th.  That means no speed limits, caps, or overages.

TmoNews Announced:

“The best news, this plan is just $30 for Classic Plan customers and $20 for Value Plan customers and is available for all account types, including Small Business, Enterprise and in Puerto Rico. Unfortunately, the plan cannot be combined with the Smartphone Mobile Hotspot (tethering), as customers who want to add the Mobile Hotspot should continue to choose from the 5GB and 10GB rate plan options instead.

So what’s Unlimited Nationwide 4G Data good for?

  • Watch HD videos, stream music, and browse the web without worrying about data speed limits
  • Do not plan to to share their phone’s data connection with other devices
  • Currently have 2GB data and want a worry-free data experience
  • Do not know how much data they will use per month and want the peace of mind of never having to monitor their data usage ever!”

With a data plan like that, are any of you non T-Mobile customers thinking about switching plans come September?

Dont understand the chart because it has unlimited costing more than 5 or 10gb?  What is the real story and total price including talk/text options for unlimited data.  Will this slow down the Tmo system?  And TOO BAD THEY CANT GET THE DARN IPHONE.  THEY WOULD steal customers from the other carriers immediately...So many customers are upset about the price hikes and share plans at ATT & VZ, and disappointed with Sprints poor data speeds.  A TMobile iphone would be a killer - esp with unlimited data...VZ customers are being forced to buy a non s ubsidized phone to keep that....I personally dont think Id use that much data but then again thats part of the offer- you hope people just will like the security and the what if they go over one month ...Id like to know if its been reported, how much does the average Sprint everything customer use.

Just switched over to the classic plan and I decided on 2gigs of high-speed data. Now I have the peace of mind knowing that I can always upgrade my $20/month 2gigs to $30/month truly unlimited if I absolutely need to. 

 

My family and I were just discussing switching from T-Mobile to AT&T because they were refusing to grandfather in our formerly great 3000min-unlimited text-$20/month 5gigs high speed data plan and allow us to buy subsidized phones.

 

I was seriously furious and thought about paying the extra $20-$30/month to AT&T because they consistently get the best phones first and even though they have higher monthly prices their high-end devices are constantly on sale.

 

 

Now that I see this announcement though, I'm glad I was forced to switch to the classic plan because now T-Mobile will be the only carrier (with fast speeds) offering truly unlimited data. Sprint's networks sucks, and while T-Mobile service may be the spottiest out of the big-4 but when you do get their service, it's incredibly fast and that's without LTE.

Actually, data plan changes have no impact on contracts. Only upgrades, adding corporate discounts, or changing your rate plan (which is different than a data plan) are the big reasons. Data plans have no impact.
