T-Mobile just keeps getting more un-carrier all of the time. The magenta carrier just released a new family plan that blows all of the other U.S. carriers out of the water. Simple Choice customers will now be able to get a plan with two lines with unlimited text, voice and 4G data for just $100 a month. If you want to add another line to the plan it’s just another $40 a month. The deals not just for new T-Mo customers, either. Current postpaid customers can grab the deal as well.
T-Mo’s offer is only good for a limited time, so act fast. Once you lock in that deal though it’ll never go away which is certainly nice to know.
75% of people “hate” monitoring their families’ data usage on carriers’ confusing shared data plans.
Now, the Un-carrier puts an end to the gigabyte gimmicks with its new unlimited 4G LTE family plan ? starting at just $100 for two lines.
And, T-Mobile brings back its most successful promotion – 4 lines for $100 with 10 GB of 4G LTE data.
This holiday season, the traditional carriers are flooding the airwaves with a mishmash of confusing shared data promotions. Between them, AT&T, Sprint and Verizon have 24 different family and promotional rate plans, and, not surprisingly, 81 percent of people recently polled describe all the data promotions in the wireless industry as “somewhat confusing” or “very confusing.” And a full 75 percent say they “hate” policing their own family members’ data usage on the carrier’s shared data plans, while more than 40 percent say they often worry about overage penalties on those plans.
T-Mobile said it’s time to put a stop to the madness. It’s time to free wireless customers from having to decipher confusing gigabyte promotions, from policing their own family’s data usage and from punishing overage charges. The Un-carrier is cutting through the clutter and complexity with a radically simple idea: everyone on your family plan uses as much data as they want. And, you can do it at a better price without ever worrying about domestic overages.
“People are saying loud and clear that they hate the confusion and complexity of the carriers’ shared data plans, and they should,” said John Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile. “These plans are purpose-built to do one thing – take money from your pocket and put it into theirs. They threaten you with punishing overage penalties unless you police your own family’s data usage or up your data bucket and spend more every month.
“Unfortunately for American consumers, this scheme is working as intended,” added Legere. “In 2014, AT&T, Verizon and Sprint pulled in more than $1.5 billion – yes, with a ‘b’ – in overage penalties. And, it’s no surprise that AT&T is the worst offender by far – collecting more than half of overage penalties this year. T-Mobile’s unlimited 4G LTE family plan is a simpler, saner alternative to the carrier’s crazy gigabyte games.”
While the industry at large moves away from unlimited plans, T-Mobile is giving customers more of what they want. In addition to America’s only unlimited 4G LTE family plan and lightning-fast 4G LTE data for each family member, customers on T-Mobile’s unlimited LTE family plan also get all the Un-carrier “Simple Choice” goodness of no annual service contracts or domestic overages, unlimited talk and text, unmetered music streaming on T-Mobile’s nationwide network plus unlimited data and texting in 120+ countries and destinations, next-gen Wi-Fi calling and free in-flight messaging, among other benefits.
“Of course, every single T-Mobile Simple Choice postpaid customer immediately qualifies to take advantage of this offer. That’s how the Un-carrier does it, putting our customers first,” said Legere. “But not the carriers. Last week, one of them launched a new promotion that not one of their existing customers could get. That makes my head spin, and it’s exactly the kind of BS we’re on a mission to end.”
While the old carriers keep peddling their confusing shared data schemes, the Un-carrier continues to offer far more value, benefits and bang for the buck. Check out the following side-by-side comparison of the costs and benefits of a typical family of four.
The Unlimited 4G LTE family plan offer is available starting December 10, 2014 for a limited time. Once you sign up, there is no planned expiration date – so you can keep the plan even after the offer is no longer available. All lines on your account must have unlimited 4G LTE data to continue to qualify.

It’s Back. T-Mobile Re-introduces 4 Lines for $100 with 10GB of Data
Also, for families who use less high-speed data – but still want to live worry-free – T-Mobile is re-introducing its most popular promotion in the last decade. Starting tomorrow for a limited time, for just $100 per month, a family of four can get up to 10 GB of 4G LTE data that’s 2.5 GB per line with no sharing required. Your family will get the extra data until 2016 starts, and after that, you’ll still get 1 GB of 4G LTE data per line. And, as always, you’ll never face domestic overages when you use more data.
All that data comes on America’s fastest nationwide 4G LTE network and with all the benefits of being an Un-carrier customer. That’s a stark contrast to the carrier promotions, which come with fine print and gotchas like domestic overages, international roaming fees, hidden device subsidy costs and more.
