We have a start date for T-Mobile's new unlimited data plan and it is September 5th; on that date T-Mobile Classic Plan customers can add unlimited data for $30 a month while Value Plan customers can add it for $20 monthly...

Nice to see at least some movement back in the direction of the consumer. Not that I expect greedy Verizon or AT&T to follow suit.

I'd still rather have AT&T or Verizon. They're both way faster. I guess when my contract expires, I'll have to choose which one I hate the least.

Faster with LTE in an area with low adoption in some cases, but this is future-proofing against when T-Mobile deploying their LTE

Faster for what?? Video game dowwloads.LOL I have metro and its LTE is pretty fast im my area. Pay $35 a month for unlimited everything.($10 off per additional line brought it to $35)
Only 250mb of 4g but I still havent gone through it all in a month. Even if I did the 3g is good enough for my purposes.
To bad so many people think they need Verizon and At&T and pay almost 3 times what I pay for essentially the same thing. The service really isnt that much better and definitely does not warrant what you pay. So many people are being duped IMO.

I went from Sprint to Metro PCS, and it was a nightmare on Metro's network. Metro LTE is ass, most of the time I am 1xrtt speed or have no network connectivity at all. Now I am with T-mobile and happier than when I was with metro. I've learned my lesson, prepaid is ass and post paid is still the way to go.
The bottomline we are all duped, until we vote with our wallets and say enough is enough with so called unlimited data.

I have had no problems. Sprint and tmo are horrible in my area. Metro has been much better.

I think once T-mobile and Sprint get better coverage and gain more subscribers, we can see AT&T and Verizon to do something about their data plan. However, right now they have enough subscribers to not care about the unlimited plan offer by T-mobile and Sprint.

Once they fix customer service issues as well and over all quality of network

I think my family will be switching to T-Mobile early next year from Verizon. They have a phone every one of us wants, the perfect plan, and all for $130 compared to the $150 we're paying on Verizon now which would turn into $200 with share everything!

Instead of 'Share Everything' -- it's "Spend EVERYTHING"

I have sprint now but if t mobile gets the galaxy note 2 first I'm dumping sprint with the new plan

Would totally jump on this if T-Mobile had better coverage. Sprint isn't any better, but at least there's a truly unlimited data GSM carrier for those of us who prefer it to CDMA.

Sprints 79.99 Everything Data 450 plan is probably what most people would be interested in. The Simply Everything is really only for those running a business through their phone or use it for work a lot.
Sprints 79.99 Includes Any Mobile Anytime...so all your cell phone calling to any other cell phone(any carrier) is unlimited. The 450 anytime minutes are for land lines. Plus Night and Weekend at 7pm will cut down on a lot of land line use too.
But if you have a business or call land lines "THAT" much, sure the Tmo plan would be better. Though I've had both Sprint and Tmo and I get better service with Sprint. At least here in St. Louis.

I hear rumors that Verizon is considering following AT&T 's lead and forcing customers off their grandfathered unlimited data plan onto the more expensive shared plans by with-holding Facebook access unless you switch

Nice move T-Mobile. This will help bring in some revenue before the iPhone 5 launches, which is great since they won't be offering it. Loved the unlimited data plan option and glad to see someone with it again other than Sprint. The thing that I don't like about T-Mobile is the bands that they use. I hate contracts, so I purchase unlocked international phones, which run with AT&T perfectly, but with T-Mobile you're stuck with 2G. You have to get a pentaband phone, like the Galaxy Nexus in order to take in all the goodness. I can't use Sprint or VZW since they do not have sim cards :(
