After OpenSignal declares network parity &
Verizon caves-in on unlimited data, Un-carrier puts Verizon on
notice, includes HD video and 10 GB high-speed Mobile Hotspot with
T-Mobile ONE
Celebrates with offer of two lines for just
$100 on T-Mobile ONE – WITH monthly taxes and fees included
The results are in, and the facts are clear. Verizon’s lost
their network advantage and had to cave-in on unlimited data. And,
because this was all so predictably “carrier” of them, the
Un-carrier was ready. Days after OpenSignal ranked T-Mobile
(NASDAQ: TMUS) and Verizon neck and neck on speed and LTE
availability, Verizon began pitching its own unlimited plan today,
reversing course on all their previous rhetoric about unlimited
data. And today, T-Mobile announced the addition of HD video and
10GB high-speed Mobile Hotspot data to T-Mobile ONE – all at no
extra charge – and all with monthly taxes and fees included. Right
on top of that, the Un-carrier introduced a new offer of two lines
on T-Mobile ONE for just $100.

“I don’t blame Verizon for caving. They just lost their network
advantage, and they know it … and more importantly, more and more
customers know it. Their back’s against the wall,” said John
Legere, president and CEO at T-Mobile. “This is what the Un-carrier
does—drag the carriers kicking and screaming into the future. Next
up, we’re going to force them to include monthly taxes and fees.
Mark my words.”
These upgrades are available starting this Friday, February 17,
at no extra charge for customers on T-Mobile ONE. Customers can
simply activate their new features in the T-Mobile app or at
my.t-mobile.com. Customers will get HD quality video streaming and
up to 10GB of high-speed Mobile Hotspot data per month, so they can
‘tether’ a laptop or other device to access the Internet. And,
after the included 10GB of high-speed data, customers still get
unlimited 3G data through the end of the month.
The Un-carrier today also announced a killer new deal for
T-Mobile ONE with two lines. Also starting this Friday, February
17, new and existing T-Mobile customers can now get two lines of
T-Mobile ONE with monthly taxes and fees included for just $100 per
month.
T-Mobile is kicking off this screaming, limited-time deal to
celebrate T-Mobile’s wins in the OpenSignal report – the most
extensive test of LTE network speed and coverage based on 4.6
BILLION actual user experiences. That study found the Un-carrier’s
LTE network is just as fast as Verizon’s and with nearly equal
coverage, and T-Mobile customers get an LTE signal about as often
as Verizon customers. That fact underscores the expansive breadth
of T-Mobile’s LTE coverage, which now reaches 313 million people
and covers more than 99% as many people as Verizon.
OpenSignal isn’t alone in recognizing T-Mobile’s network gains.
T-Mobile’s 4G LTE network is also recognized as America’s fastest
according to independent third-party data from Speedtest.net, the
FCC and Twin Prime. Like OpenSignal, those tests are also based on
tens of millions of real-time, crowd-sourced tests by millions of
real customers, not paid consultants, using their own devices where
they live, work and play.
T-Mobile ONE with monthly taxes and fees included is just $40 a
line for a family of four with autopay (and yes, you can use a
credit card! And, no, that’s not an “introductory price” like
Verizon’s). That also includes unlimited talk, text and high-speed
data on the nation’s fastest LTE network in the US, Canada and
Mexico, as well as free data roaming in 140+ countries and
destinations.
Don’t forget, with T-Mobile Kickback, you get PAID BACK up to
$10 per line when you use less data. And only T-Mobile offers the
Un-contract pricing guarantee, so ONLY you have the power to change
the price you pay.
On all T-Mobile plans, if the network becomes intermittently
congested, top 3% of data users (>28GB/mo.) may notice reduced
speeds due to prioritization. On-device usage is prioritized
over tethering usage, which may result in higher speeds for data
used on device. Sales tax & regulatory fees included in
monthly price. See in-store materials for specifics in your
state. Kickback on qualifying lines with <2GB data usage
in previous bill cycle. Must make on-time payments; must activate
by end of bill cycle & be active/in good standing when credit
applied. Promo lines priced <$10 will receive <$10 credit;
free lines ineligible. May not be combinable with bill credit
device offers.
