Now T-Mobile USA Announces Flat-Rate Too; SMS/MMS Included For $99.99
So now I may not have to change to AT&T (NYSE: T) after all: T-Mobile USA, which is the carrier I have been using for a long time (and Staci and Tricia here do too), has also announced a flat-rate unlimited package, costing the same as the ones announced by Verizon Wireless (NYSE: VZ) and AT&T earlier today. The plan from T-Mob is $99.99 and begins Feb. 21, and cover all types of mobile messages, including pictures, in addition to voice calls.
Meanwhile, Sprint (NYSE: S) said today that it was testing plans in four markets with unlimited voice, text and Web access for $119.99 and $149.99. Meanwhile, MVNOs Boost (owned by Sprint) and Helio. co-incidentally tweaked their unlimited plans earlier this month. Also, second tier carriers Leap Wireless and MetroPCS offer unlimited calling for customers, but with no roaming.
I love how all these "companies" now just start coming out with the unlimited 99 plans. I guess they got scared of a little ole MVNO called Helio with their 99 unlimited plan that they have had for the past year. Kind of unfair that Helio does not get this exposour but Verizon, T-Mobile, A-TT does. I guess thats the name of the game. We will see who wins this price war.
