T-Mobile announces new Value plans; to be available July 24

Remember when T-Mobile quietly pulled the plug on its Even More Plus plans? That was a pretty solid reason for us to believe that something new was coming down the road bound to replace them. Well, it seems like our assumptions were really onto something as the new T-Mobile Value plans have just been made official.

Unlike the case was with the Even More Plus offerings, T-Mobile Value plans will be tied to a 2-year contract so bear that in mind if you are not much into commitment. However, the purchase of a brand new smartphone is not necessary – just bring your own handset and switch over to a Value plan of a caliber that suits you most. Nevertheless, if you have been thinking of getting a new phone anyway, Value plan users will be given the chance to grab a smartphone of their choice and pay it off without interest (down payment required).

Details on pricing have not been announced yet, but an example was given with a 2-line family Value plan featuring unlimited nationwide minutes and texting together with 2 gigabytes of full speed data – all of that for about $50 per line. T-Mobile's new plans will become available on July 24, so those of you who are interested might want to mark that date in their calendars.
