T-Mobile will launch a $59.99 “unlimited” plan that’s good for all the talking, texting, and data you can handle…with a catch. The company has offered fantastic contract-free pricing for customers that purchase phones unsubsidized. These are branded “Even More Plus” plans. However, along with the sweet price cut comes a not-so-sweet restriction on data.
According to TmoNews, the monthly allotment for 3G and 4G data is 2GB (the previous limit was 5GB). After that, speeds will be throttled to EDGE. While the new Even More Plus plan is fantastic for most consumers, heavy data users will find it too restrictive. If your data use is minimal or you pull mostly from WiFi then I highly recommend this plan. It’s a great value and, as I noted in the past, it’s a great time to sign up with T-Mobile.
Any of you tempted by T-Mobile’s new Even More Plus unlimited plan?
No. Unlimited Data should say unlimited EDGE. Very deceptive.
I find ATT's fee more honest in a way.
I agree that it's deceptive, but it's still a fantastic deal for most users. I'm tempted, but I already have a steeply discounted plan with the old 5GB limit.
One interesting thing about Even More Plus is that it's contract-free. I'm thinking that I rather have my higher data limit and a rate that's locked in for the duration of the contract. If the AT&T acquisition leads to a price or service change, I'd heave an instant out, while still enjoying the phone subsidy.
