T-Mobile Debuts New No-Contract Plans

Mar 24, 2013, 1:18 PM by Eric M. Zeman

T-Mobile today made available new service plans that can be picked up without a contract. The entry-level plan costs $50 per month and includes unlimited domestic voice, unlimited domestic messaging, and 500MB of data with mobile hotspot included. Those who surpass their 500MB monthly data allotment are not charged overage fees; rather, their data speeds are slowed for the remainder of the billing period. Customers who want or need more data (with mobile hotspot) can purchase more data in 2GB increments. For example, $60 per month includes all the same benefits of the $50 plan, but offers 2GB of data in addition to the original 500MB (4GB costs $70, 6GB costs $80, etc., up to 12GB for $110 per month). Alternately, customers can choose unlimited voice, unlimited messaging, and unlimited data for just $70 per month, but this option only allows for 500MB of mobile hotspot. Family plans (two line or more) are structured in the same way as the single lines. Customers can then choose to pay full price for the handset associated with the plan, or an installment option. For example, adding the Samsung Galaxy S III to any of the plan options mentioned above adds $16 to the monthly cost.

Verizon has made a handful of changes to its unlimited plans, giving some customers a better value. The basic structure and pricing remain unchanged, but some plans now come with more data.

Verizon Intros New, Cheaper Unlimited Plan

Jul 12, 2022
Verizon has introduced a new entry-level unlimited plan that's $5/month cheaper. The new Welcome Unlimited plan is mostly similar to the company's 5G Start plan (which was previously the cheapest, and remains available), but does not include the 5 GB of mobile hotspot data that was recently added to that plan.

Visible Completely Overhauls Plans

Aug 17, 2022
Visible is moving to an entirely new service plan structure, dropping the base rate for a single line, but phasing out its "Party Pay" multi-line discounts. The company is also introducing a new premium plan.

Verizon Reshuffles Prepaid Plans, Adds Value

Oct 20, 2022
Verizon Prepaid has revamped its prepaid plans to offer more for less, with restructured payment discounts. The cheapest plan, offering 5 GB of data for as little as $25 (after discounts), has been eliminated.

Boost Merges Brands

Jul 18, 2024
Boost Mobile has consolidated its Boost Mobile (pre-paid) and Boost Infinite (post-paid) offerings into one unified brand and website, now known as simply "Boost Mobile". The change comes with updated, unified service plans, most of which are no-contract and available on either a pre-paid or post-paid basis.

For me, if T-Mobile would just fill in coverage in some of the no coverage areas surrounding the cities, and upgrade much of its Edge network to at least HSPA, then I would go with T-Mobile.

Message to T-Mobile subscribers

Call T-Mobile and change your plan to one of the new ones.

Smartphone mobile hotspot is free. (save $14.99) 500MB of data, also included free with the plan (save $10.00). The buckets of data now go up to over 12 Gigabytes in increments of two (2.5gb, 4.5gb, 6.5gb, 8.5gb, 10.5gb, 12.5 gb).

Mobile broadband rate plans, the majority of them, have had the prices HALVED.

There is no reason to remain on an old classic or value plan when these new plans offer MORE service, have NO contract, and cost less. I should point out, I don't make comission, but I like doing my best for the customer, and these new plans are nearly perfect.

Oh - also, the Add-a-lines (3rd, 4th, 5th line on a family plan) no longer get 500 Minutes.... they get...
