T-Mobile Updates Rate Plans

On May 22, T-Mobile made some changes to their rate plans, adding more value to some plans and also updating the number of data plan options available for smartphone users.

For single lines, there are now 3 options:

• 500 minutes for $39.99
• 1,000 minutes for $49.99
• unlimited minutes for $59.99

The only real change in the single line category is that the $59.99 unlimited plan now includes unlimited text messaging, which was previously an additional $10/month.

For family plans, there are also 3 options:

• 1,000 shared minutes for $59.99
• 2,000 shared minutes for $79.99
• unlimited shared minutes for $99.99

The above pricing is for two lines. The unlimited plan also includes text messaging. Up to 3 additional lines are available for $10 each on the 1,000 and 2,000 plan, $30 each for the unlimited plan.

One thing that hasn't changed is the high cost of exceeding the monthly allowance, still 45 cents a minute. More than ever, it makes sense to find the rate plan that best fits your calling needs.
