T-Mobile’s new ONE add-ons bring unlimited LTE tethering, daily HD passes more
When T-Mobile announced its upcoming ONE service, which will soon give all customers “unlimited” 4G LTE data, eagled-eyed readers were quick to note that in the fine print it limited mobile hotspot tethering to sluggish 2G speeds, with 5GB of 4G LTE tethering available as a $15 add-on. Today, the carrier clarified that T-Mobile ONE will include unlimited tethering at 3G speeds at no additional cost after all while unveiling ONE Plus upgrades with unlimited 4G LTE tethering, daily HD passes and more.
“T-Mobile today proved once again why it’s the Un-carrier by doing something the carriers would never do—actually listening to customers and taking quick and decisive action,” reads the press release.
The new ONE Plus upgrade gives you unlimited mobile hotspot tethering at 4G LTE speeds, unlimited video streaming in high-definition and Simple Global international data roaming at up to 3G speeds for an extra $25 per month per line. Originally, high-definition video streaming alone was a $25 add-on.
Launching September 1, a few days earlier than planned, T-Mobile ONE offers unlimited 4G LTE data, calling and text for $70 per month. Customers who won’t upgrade to T-Mobile ONE Plus can stream unlimited video in DVD-like 480p resolution.
If you need unlimited streaming in high-definition for just a few days or hours, T-Mobile now offers HD passes for $3 per day.
Although T-Mobile says ONE imposes no data caps, that’s not entirely true: if you use more than 26GB of 4G LTE data per month, the carrier will decrease your data transfer speeds to 3G or 2G after the 26GB threshold at specific times and places that the network sees high congestion.
The new plan is available for new postpaid customers beginning Tuesday, September 6 at T-Mobile stores nationwide and t-mobile.com. Prepaid customers will be allowed to sign up for One in the future while existing customers can either keep their Simple Choice plan or switch over to One for $5 per month extra per line without AutoPay enabled.
