As we reported earlier, T-Mobile USA used their major press event to reveal they will be offering the iPhone, including the iPhone 5.
However, that was not all the carrier had in store for customers, as it also unveiled a new LTE network and new monthly plans that offer significant savings when compared to bigger rivals AT&T, Verizon and Sprint.
The 4G LTE service is available now ... [ read the full article ]

So, all this talk of a new, inexpensive service and they offer a service $10 cheaper but no subsidy on the phone?
Where's the savings?
I'm paying around $80 for my phone. I have more than enough talk and text and unlimited data. _And the phone is a Galaxy Note II_
So, $10 a month extra, for 24 months = $240 for an $800 phone?
I was hoping for a truly good plan... like unlimited or even just 5GB data for less than $50.
They did this in the past. About two years ago I signed up for this program, buying the phone on installment payments with a downpayment. There was still a terms of service agreement but no contract on the service. The terms were that I would have 2gb of high speed internet and unlimited slower internet thereafter and 500 anytime minutes. Roaming was to be free for both voice and data. A year later I was running low on minutes so I upgraded to unlimited minutes for more money. It was at this point that I was put on a 2 year contract with the higher price designed to lower the price of the phone, and I was not informed of this at the time. Not long after this they lowered the speed after 2gb so low that webages simply gave an error saying the server was taking too long to respond. They then limited data on roaming (almost everywhere) to 100mb per month. Then they removed roaming all together, making the phone virtually useless. I need a cell phone for work so I had to terminate service. I figured it was a good thing that I never signed a contract...it was at this point I was informed that I was under a contract I was never informed about; any changes to service (or the end of a contract) automatically started a new two year contract! Not only did I have to pay a huge termination fee, but I also had to pay the remainder of the price of the phone that I never should have had to make payments on as I was on a contract plan. They then charged me for two more months of service just for good measure. I considered class action, but the contract they had me under prohibited class action.
T-Mobile is up to their old tricks again, DON'T FALL FOR IT, THEY DON'T HONOR THEIR OWN AGREEMENTS
@ KillerBug:
I always go in person to T-mo, to check & recheck my terms if any discrepancies happen on my monthly bill.
P.S.
Switching plans is not a good idea.
Pay full price for the phone & choose your plan; is the best deal you can get. (Grab them by the balls in stead of the other way around)... just saying.
