T-Mobile Phones & Plans

T-Mobile has created a hybrid plan with no contracts. The reason I say hybrid is they offer you a phone with $0 down, but then you pay so much each month for 24 months until the phone is paid off. Or, you have the option to buy the phone upfront. It has elements of both prepaid and post paid cell phone service. On top of their new plans with no contracts, they also offer incredible value with their rate plans compared to the competition. You can get an unlimited rate plan for just $50 per month. This gives you unlimited talk and text and 500 MB of data. They also offer a $60 and $70 plan, with the $70 plan giving you unlimited data. Most people can get by with 500 MB or 2GB on the $60 plan if they use their own wireless Internet when they are at home.

One of the big rallying cries of their new plan is unleashing the iPhone on their network saving money every month over their GSM competitor AT&T. Like AT&T they have a fast 4G network. While their nationwide coverage area isn’t as big as some of their competitors, their network has really improved over the past several years. It is improved so much; I am considering T-Mobile when I change my carrier next.
