T-Mobile Value Plan
I just switched to T-Mobile with my 4S. I get 3G in Chicago now. It's not the most consistent, but I lowered my bill by 40%, so I'll deal with it. It still feels surreal getting 3G speeds with an iPhone on T-Mobile's network.
T-Mobile Value Plan : 500 minutes $35, Unlimited Text $5, 2GB data (unlimited edge) $10
= $50/month (2 year contract)
My old AT&T plan: 450 minutes $40, unlimited text $20, 2GB data $25 (no longer available)
= $85/month (2 year contract)
Bottom line: consumers now have more OPTIONS.
The upgrade every 20 months + sell on ebay/Craigslist cycle wasn't cutting it for me anymore. But I'm glad there are new alternatives.
*Also note that no-contract plans are $10 more per month than the individual Value Plans. I just decided to agree to 2 years to save an additional $10/month.
I have been with T-Mobile for years and this does not surprise me. I bought my Note 2 at retail so that I could use it on the value plan. Ended up getting 500 whenever minutes, 2GB 4G data and unlimited 3G data, unlimited txt, unlimited nights/weekends for $49/mo plus tax. With the way they are pushing their new phones, it seemed inevitable that they would ditch the classic plan. Subsidized pricing is so last decade.
