Today during its latest Un-carrier event, T-Mobile announced new initiatives including brand new plans and pricing for businesses and a promise to all of its customers that it won’t increase prices. It’s also paying off bills for those locked into leasing plans on other carriers if they switch to T-Mobile.
That “Un-contract” guarantee that prices won’t increase goes for all of its Simple Choice plans (including Simple Choice promotional plans) as long as you remain a T-Mobile customer with a qualifying plan. However, the carrier will only offer the guarantee to those with unlimited 4G LTE data for two years. The guarantee will automatically start for all existing customers on March 22nd.
Another initiative announced by the carrier today dubbed “Carrier Freedom” will pay up to $650 in outstanding payments for customers switching to T-Mobile. In addition to its previous offer to pay early termination fees for switchers, the carrier is now offering to pay up to $650 to get you out of leasing and upgrade programs, specifically AT&T Next and Verizon Edge.
Here is T-Mobile’s Un-carrier fine print on the new deals:
Un-contract guarantee excludes, fees, & other (e.g., “pay-per-use”) charges. EIP Pay Off: qualifying credit & postpaid service, with trade-in in good condition req’d. Pay off paid as device trade-in credit & prepaid card for remaining device balance (including valid exercise of lease purchase option, if applicable), minus trade-in credit. Sales tax on device excluded. Validation req’d. One offer per line. $100 business payout once per account as bill credit (includes trade-in value)
As for new business plans, T-mobile announced what it’s calling “Un-carrier for Business” with new plans and more transparent pricing compared to the other guys. The new plans and improved family business discounts, T-Mobile’s CEO John Legere says, will save a family with two lines around $875 over two years versus AT&T and Verizon. Here’s what the new business plans look like:

Love this renegade CEO. He’s great!
They still throttle you after just 1GB of sell data use. I gte up to 5GB on my AT&T unlimited plan before i get throttled down to a 0.39mb connection off cell data.
Yeah, if you have a plan with 1 GB of LTE Data, or any of the other LTE data capped plans. The true unlimited $80 plan is not throttled at all. I have 3 lines, all with unlimited LTE data for $140, on their 2 lines for $100 + $40 per extra line. No throttling at all

I get fast service too, faster than the others in my area.

How much is that “unlimited” plan costing you with AT&T??
This is why – As a Canadian – when I travel to the States I’ll get a T-Mobile plan.
T-Mobile offers an unlimited data plan for 30/month that’s NOT throttled (I’ve used 200GB without a problem). This is just the default 1GB of data that every line comes with, you’re throttled when you exceed that 1GB as T-Mobile has no overages.
Too bad they don’t put as much attention into widening coverage as they do in attracting customers. I’d be more likely to try their service if the T-Mobile users that come to my home had an LT in front of the E in their status bar.
I WAS going to switch to T-Mobile from AT&T this year, but their coverage here in Austin is just unacceptable. My friends with T-Mobile can rarely got my phone call because the coverage is just so bad. I guess I’ll have to wait until they improve their service or when I move to some place where their service is actually usable.
I tried T-mobile. Horrible connectivity. I would actually get an E (edge!) sometimes, and even No service in a very urban area. There data plans are nice, too bad I couldn’t really put it to good use.
their coverage nationwide is not the best, but wherever they do have coverage, it’s the best!
I sold my old T-Mobile iPhone 5s on https://www.CellCashier.com and then just bought a brand new iPhone 6 from Verizon, which comes already unlocked. Network on Verizon is much faster as well!
