T-Mobile Quadruples Simple Starter LTE Data for Extra $5/Month

T-Mobile has announced a new option for its Simple Starter customers that quadruples their data to 2GB for an $5/month.

Back in May, the Un-carrier made waves with the Simple Starter plan, an entry-level solution with unlimited talk and text, and 500 MB of LTE data for just $40. Starting September 3, these customers can get a whopping 2 GB of LTE data for only $5 extra per month – and still no annual service contract and no domestic overages.

“People who use loads of data use T-Mobile,” said John Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile. “And it’s no wonder. The old guard telecoms punish people for using more data on their networks with crazy overage charges and fees. Get Verizon’s $50 plan and use just one gig more data, and the price jumps to $65. It’s crazy. At T-Mobile, we designed our network data-strong so our customers could use the hell out of it. And that’s just what they’re doing.”


T-Mobile also recently announced that its offering a free year of unlimited LTE data to customers who switch from Sprint, AT&T, or Verizon and to the person that referred them.
