T-Mobile jumps feet first into the no-contract, unlimited everything arena with its new “Even More Plus” plans, ranging from $30 per month for 500 voice minutes to $80 per month for unlimited voice minutes, text messages, and internet access. Family plans are also available for between $50 and $140 per month.
It appears that you can choose from just about any available phone, although going with this no-contract option means that none of the handsets are subsidized. Prices range from $550 for the HTC Touch Pro 2 down to $60 for the Nokia 2330.
T-Mobile is also offering unlimited plans with a two-year contract as part of its “Even More” package, with monthly fees ranging from $40 for 500 minutes to $60 for unlimited minutes. It’s important to note, though, that these plans are only for voice minutes – you’ll need to add texting and mobile web packages a la carte at $10 per month each (for most handsets).
T-Mobile Even More Plus Plans [T-Mobile]
Today’s plan pricing is absurd. I signed up for T-mo when they came to the US for $35/mo. + text + web. Texting essentially costs these carriers zero and it should be priced as such.
I agree. I can’t wait until someone comes in and revolutionizes the cell-phone landscape. Unlimited calling to any phone (local or long distance) + unlimited text and data service. It’s coming for sure and is just a case of the right companies getting in position to pull it off.
These are ASTOUNDING prices for no contract plans. Similar plans for Verizon or AT&T are in the triple digits AND require a 2-year contract. Only Sprint is able to compete at $70/mo and even that one requires a 2-year contract.
US Mobile market has still a long way to go to revolutionize consumer benefits. This marketing gimmick from t-mobile have no standing among the informed customers. They need to adapt better business sense. Bring a $25 (unlimited talk + data) plan and they can start earning more by getting everyone talking.
So you recommend a plan that doesn’t exist?
Why the heck would they go down to $25/unlimited when they’re already undercutting the rest of competition by up to 50%? That would be terrible business sense.
Less the price, more people will get talking and this means more revenue. It is the call volume which would generate the profits. If this makes sense to the rest of world, I guess should make here too.
@Stuart & Scott: I actually already use a plan that is much cheaper than this. Straight Talk costs $45 for unlimited talk, text and data.
While similar-priced deals have been around for a while, provided by smaller regional prepaid providers, Straight Talk is truly nationwide and runs off the Verizon network. I can recommend the ST service – excellent price on quality network. No contracts.
Chris, that’s not comparable. As you pointed out, Straight Talk is a MNVO and thus requires the use of a low-end crappy phone.
What good is unlimited data if you can’t use it extensively anyway because your phone is a POS? With these T-Mobile plans you can bring ANY GSM phone from the entire world over to it for those cheap rates.
i agree. no-contract means that without additional annuities, the price per phone would be substantial compared to the actual cost of time and materials. discretion often is part of valor … or so i’m told.
