T-Mobile doubles the LTE fun and expands free international texting and roaming coverage
T-Mobile has been my preferred wireless carrier for over 10 years and their latest news just brought huge smiles to my three daughters. All Simple Choice customers will see double the included 4G LTE allotment, from 500 MB to 1 GB per month, starting 23 March for no extra fee.
With my five lines, I have four with the included 500 MB of 4G LTE, and unlimited snails pace 2G, with my own line allocated for unlimited 4G LTE and 2.5 GB of tethering. The new minimum level gives people double the data cap at these higher speeds. For an additional $10 per month you can get 3 GB of 4G LTE (was 2.5 GB) and for $30 more you can get unlimited 4G LTE with 5 GB of tethering.
I currently pay $20 extra for my 4G LTE and 2.5 GB of tethering and T-Mobile stated I will be able to continue paying that same amount for the same plan. If I want to double my tethering then I can switch to the $30 extra fee, but I don't tethering that much so will be sticking with my $20 cost.
T-Mobile postpaid customers also now get unlimited international texting for over 120 countries at no extra charge. This is huge for those who travel outside the country and moves like this really make T-Mobile attractive to the world traveler who needs to stay in touch with family and friends.
T-Mobile also expanded to seven more countries where roaming is free and calls are only 20 cents a minute. I used to travel with international SIMs and did enjoy those experiences, but having all of this international support from T-Mobile is much more convenient and solidifies my decision to stick with them.
