T-Mobile has recently unveiled a major shakeup to the cell phone market — a $100 unlimited plan. This plan will top AT&T and Verizon’s highest priced plans by nearly $60, offering customers a more affordable, unlimited data plan.
The plan will include unlimited talk, text, and data throughout the US, and customers will have the ability to upgrade almost any phone they own to access the $100 plan. This move by T-Mobile is sure to be a threat to AT&T and Verizon, who currently offer their highest tiered plans for around $160.
In addition, T-Mobile has made a commitment to offer customers both a low cost plan and a chance to upgrade their existing phone. The company has already upgraded over 40 million devices to 5G and plans to double that number this year.
T-Mobile’s CEO, John Legere, gave a statement saying “For the first time ever, T-Mobile is offering a truly unlimited wireless plan at a fraction of the price of other major carriers. We’re challenging the industry to provide customers with the flexibility and value they expect in a wireless plan.”
The $100 phone plan comes with an unlimited mobile hotspot, access to HD-video streaming and a host of other features. It also comes with a generous discount on activating a tablet on T-Mobile’s network with the same plan, and allows for up to five lines on the plan.
T-Mobile’s move to offer a $100 plan is sure to be a hit with customers. It provides the unlimited data and features of more expensive plans, while also allowing customers to upgrade their existing devices without having to pay additional fees.
It’s clear that T-Mobile is making a major move to disrupt the wireless market and offer consumers much greater value and flexibility in their plans. Whether AT&T and Verizon can respond to this move will remain to be seen, but for now, T-Mobile appears to have the upper hand when it comes to providing the best wireless plans at the lowest prices.
