Mobile News Now

Below are some charts on how T-Mobile's new Unlimited plans compare to other cell providers unlimited plans. By the looks of it seems that T-Mobile's plans either beat or match AT&T Unlimited plans, Verizon’s Nationwide Select Service Unlimited, and Sprints Simply Everything plan. I am not sure if T-Mobile plans on phasing out the Myfaves plans or not. If they are phasing out the Myfaves plans then these new plans still don't beat Sprint's "Any time Any Mobile" plans, which is $69.99 for 450 minutes and Unlimited calling to mobile phones on any network, unlimited text and web. Now am not a huge fan of Sprint mainly because when I had them they were really expensive and their customer service was not good. But if T-Mobile USA wants to be the low cost cell provider out of AT&T, Verizon and Sprint. They might want to rethink their marketing strategy and keep the Myfaves plans, well we will all find out how everything goes tomorrow. Here are some pervious post with some more details on T-Mobile's new plans.

Well the leaked documents seem to be more official as we get closer to October 25th. The pricing of the pervious leaked documents is correct when it comes to the unlimited plans for individuals and families.  And I don't see how these unlimited plans are better then Sprints "Any Mobile Any Time" plans. Which included 450 minutes unlimited calling to mobile phones, unlimited text & web for $69.99 a month. I guess we will have to wait until October 25th to see what T-Mobile USA is planning to do.

 And keep in mind that these may or may not be official.   Actually after speaking with a T-Mobile rep over the phone earlier today about lowering my plan she asked if I had any student discounts. I know they do offer cooperate discounts so maybe T-Mobile will be offering student discounts. I guess we will all have to wait till October 25th to see how these plans work in T-Mobile's USA favor.

 

Thanks to tmonews website for leaking these pictures of T-Mobile US plans and the prices of them. T-Mobile US seems to be adopting the same strategy as T-Mobile UK. With these new plans a customer has the option of going pre-paid and paying less a month for a plan. But the customer would have to pay full price for the phone that they pay for over monthly installments. And from what I have read it could be over a 4-month installment plan to a 20-month installment plan. The other option for customers is to sign on to a two-year contract and get a phone that's subsidize but pay more each month for the rate plans. And for those people like myself who have T-Mobile after being a customer for 2 years under contract they do offer there customers unlimited voice for $49.99 a month. Although I do not know how that will be affected under these new plans. Both plans will be offering free nights and weekends as well as T-Mobile-to-T-Mobile calling. Keep in mind people that these are still rumored although tmonews website say's the prices of the plans are fairly accurate. My personal take on these plans is that when you get a contract with a cell provider and get a subsidize cell phone. The company recoups the money lost on that subsidize cell phone over the course of the contract, so either way you end up paying for the handset.  In T-Mobile's case there basically giving you the option of paying for the handset over monthly payments and getting a cheaper plan which the plan is what you pay, when it comes to cellular service the handset's is just a way to help sell the plans. I don't know if these plans will help get the company out of 4th place as one of the largest cellular providers in the U.S. Below are the leaked prices and a run down of the plans. But weather or not these prices are true we will just have to wait and see how it pan's out on October 25th.
