You have unlimited hotspot data, but only at 2G speeds. With T-Mobile’s new plan, it isn’t an option but a default feature. Sprint is giving customers unprecedented value and simplicity with the launch of Unlimited Freedom: two lines of unlimited talk, text and data for the incredible price of $100 a month.

T-Mobile One will cost $70 for one line, $50 for a second and $20 for each of the next six lines.
Customers on larger data plans will now pay more for access, but will get comparable or greater reductions in the data rates.
Couple that with an additional $15 a month for decent tethering speeds, and customers are looking at a significantly larger price tag than with the more restrictive plans T-Mobile had in the first place. This time, the company will be getting rid of its many data plans in favor of what it’s billing as a no-BS unlimited plan for everyone.
The wireless industry has become increasingly competitive over the past few years given that most people already have smartphones. Users also “may see their data traffic prioritized behind other users” once they’ve used 26 gigabytes of data, T-Mobile said.
T-Mobile phasing out data limits – but will you save money?
Specifically, he’s talking about T-Mobile. For a family of four, that comes out to $40 per person. “Now customers can watch their favorite movies and videos and stream an unlimited playlist at an unbelievable price”. “For Sprint to get crowded would be a nice problem to have”, he says. Existing T-Mobile subscribers can keep their current plan if they’d like.
Turns out, those are two different questions with somewhat contradicting answers.
But surveys have shown that the vast majority of people have little grasp of how much data their Internet activity really requires and often fall for the peace of mind offered by unlimited plans without really needing them. “This construct was just designed by carriers to get money from you”.
T-Mobile, staying true to its aggressive marketing tack, is calling this move a “double-down” on unlimited – an “all-in” for the network.

“Tethering is included, along with updated tethering packages as well, but I think one of the things that’s big is you can now add tablets with unlimited streaming for $20 per tablet”, Legere said.
