T-Mobile USA, the nation’s fourth-largest wireless company and the sole major U.S. carrier without the iPhone, today announced new unlimited “4G” data plan,as promised last month. The new plan will set you back $20 a month if you’re on T-Mobile’s Value plan or $30 a month for those on the Classic voice and text plan.
The new plans do away with speed limits or bandwidth throttling, the carrier said. Though T-Mobile continues with its dubious practice of advertising its network and these new plans under the “4G” moniker, in the carrier’s terminology this really meansiPhone-compatiblehigh-speed3G HSPA+as T-Mobile isway overdue with 4G LTE deployment…
According to a media release, a single line Value plan with unlimited talk and text combined with unlimited nationwide 4G data will cost $69.99 a month. Likewise, a single line Classic plan with unlimited talk, unlimited text and unlimited nationwide 4G data will cost $89.99 a month.
Seventy bucks a month for unlimited everything, not bad.
Existing customers on Classic or Value plans can simply upgrade their service by adding an Unlimited Nationwide 4G Data plan.
T-Mobile appears to have joined carrierSprintin offering unlimited data as bothVerizonandAT&Thave been recently pushing their new shared data plans.
