Meh, T-Mobile has been steadily increasing their price while "orphaning" customers on older plans or promotional plans. T-Mobile has become a carrier, only with worse coverage.
I don't even think Adam Sandler loves Adam Sandler moviesThey were already offering HBO with their unlimited plan - which IMO is much better than Netflix these days. At least they have newer movies. Netflix is okay if you really love Orange is the new Black or random Adam Sandler movies. They are getting rid of everything else slowly.
More gimmicks by T-Mobile. I can't believe people keep falling for this stuff...
2 Line Plan jumps from $100 (with autopay) to $120 (with autopay)
tl;dr? You're getting $10 of "free netflix," but they raised the plan cost by $20.
What a great uncarrier! We should all bow down to Legere!!
Great offer, but free Netflix isn't worth having a family.
See, what you fail to realize is the 2/$120 has been the standard pricing. The 2/$100 was a promo ONLY.
Except that $2/100 was running on T-Mobile's website for a long time. It's like Macy's sales event. Things are on sale most of the year.See, what you fail to realize is the 2/$120 has been the standard pricing. The 2/$100 was a promo ONLY.
Google is an amazing tool!![]()
Great! That doesn't explain the fact that the price has gone up $20 for a netflix subscription that costs around $9.99. TMo is so groundbreaking!

So promos never end in your eyes?
But that "promo" has been around on T-Mobile's website for ages.
Same could be said for their "We will pay your ETF" deal. At the bottom of the page it says limited time offer, but it's been on their site for years.

T-mobile seems to have good plans but very bad coverage, even in big cities, of the country. A 'good deal' that you can't take advantage of isn't a good deal. That is why people are complaining, especially if they get sold a plan that gives them very bad service.
I've travelled all over the country within the past two years (every state east of the Mississippi River [two week road trip plus travel for work], states in the mountain west, and Canada). The only time I have poor coverage is when I've been out in the middle of nowhere (and even then I sometimes had coverage). LTE coverage at my house isn't great and there are some weak spots in my city but I have 100 mbps internet and WiFi at home and I live in a smallish rural city. T-Mobile has had great service for me except in some very rural locations. AT&T and Verizon have wider coverage but I also only pay $21 per month for 3 lines (4 GB data per month). Add to that the regular T-Mobile Tuesdays promotions (gas $.25 off per gallon, free movies, etc.), a very inexpensive iPhone upgrade promo last year, free texting and data in Canada, etc. and it would take a lot for Verizon or AT&T to get my business.
I'm not brand loyal to T-Mobile; I'm "loyal" to the company that gives me the best value and service for the money. So far, that's been T-Mobile.
Imagine that there is a bar in your town, and that they are advertising free beer until 2:00 this afternoon only. People in your town will have no problems getting there to take advantage of this offer. People 100 miles away might be able to make it there if they leave immediately, people who live farther than that get no benefit from this offer at all.

You opine or you know?Netflix will of course be limited to 480p rather than HD.
Looks like you haven't used them in a while. I just drove cross country with a Verizon and T-Mobile phone....T-Mobile had excellent coverage. It will only get better when they roll out all of the 600mhz spectrum they purchased. In a few years their network will outpace Verizon's mythical network.
I think they are referring to the idea that the industry is happy to give you additional features but at an added cost to you, which is added income to them because that new feature being made available is not being offered at cost to the company but at an inflated cost to you so that AT&T, for instance, can make even more per month off of you. This offer is made a no new additional cost to those plan holding members. Truly, the "biggest customer pain point" is in the eye of the individual consumer. For some it may be price while for others it may be connectivity.I'm glad some people will be qualified and excited to take advantage of this, but this was NOT the "biggest customer pain point" when it comes to wireless carriers.
In that case, yea, if you're living in Nebraska don't use T-Mobile. The mid/upper mid west doesn't seem very good based on what I've read. Other than that, they've done well throughout the rest of rural America on roads no one would dream of having LTE on. By 2019, Nebraska and similaly located states will be covered.It's been about 2 months since a friend and I went on a road trip, specifically to see how good his reception was. By the time we hit the county line his data service was intermittent. At my house the cell service was also intermittent. Driving west on Hwy 30 it was gone until we got close to Fremont Nebraska. T-mobile isn't alone in spotty service. My brother has Sprint. It doesn't work at my house. I don't live in a valley and there aren't a lot of buildings near me, other than residential houses.
