T-Mobile has introduced a new plan called T-Mobile ONE [PDF] that offers Unlimited talk, text, and 4G LTE Data for $70 per month. A second line can be added for $50 per month, while up to six more lines can be added for an additional $20 per month each. The total cost for a family of four, for example, would be $180 per month.
T-Mobile ONE has some caveats to consider. First, Unlimited Video is limited to 480p standard definition for all services, with Unlimited HD Video available for $25 per month Extra per line. Additionally, tethering is limited to 2G speeds, with 5GB of high-speed tethering available as a $15 add-on.
T-Mobile also clarified that, as with its Simple Choice plans, customers using the most Data -- specifically the highest 3 percent -- may see their Data traffic prioritized behind other users once they cross a threshold of around 26GB of Data during their billing month. The carrier **ted that throttling will only occur at specific times and places where there is network congestion.
The new Unlimited Data plan includes usual T-Mobile perks such as Simple Global, Mobile Without Borders, Carrier Freedom, Wi-Fi Unleashed, Stock Up, and T-Mobile Tuesdays.
T-Mobile ONE will be available for new postpaid customers on September 6, while new prepaid customers will be able to get the plan "in the future." Existing customers have the option to keep the Simple Choice plans they have or switch to T-Mobile ONE.
