Another limited "unlimited" plan
This is the kind of thing the FCC or the FTC should be coming down on hard. UNLIMITED is not a vague word! Either there are limits on how much and in what manner a service may be used or their aren't. This is esp. true with 4G starting to go mainstream. A 5gb cap is a joke on that kind of connection. Now, having stated these obvious truths...this is probably the best plan anyone could hope for IF there are some decent phones or you can bring your own. If you can get T-MO and your mostly about data and txt, then you'd be crazy not to jump on this.

$30 for 5GB and messaging isn't bad
This plan will entice many users including hearing impaired, less talk and more internet, or under the situation isn't good for voice talking (like under noisy enviornment).
Yes I overall like this plan...I do not know if it will be popular or not; I really can't tell...but more options is usually better.

Yeah, agree, this is a really great deal! 🙂 I know alot of people don't talk much nowadays and the good thing is it also gives you unlimited texting. 4G speed for 5G is absolutely excellent! Even though if you just use your phone as a wifi hotspot,...
