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 in Baltimore, Houston, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Jose, California and Washington, D.C. The carrier says they expect to reach 100 million people by June and 200 million by the end of the year, putting it ahead of Sprint but still behind AT&T and Verizon which started their LTE rollouts in 2012. Many of those not in the LTE areas already have 4G HSPA+ network access, however, which offers speeds comparable to mid-end LTE.
Finally, the company unveiled its new unlimited everything plans, dubbed "Simple Choice." For $50 per month you get unlimited talk and text and 500MB of 4G data. After you reach the limit, speeds are reduced to EDGE (2G) speeds, but Web access does remain unlimited. For $60, you get unlimited talk and text and 2GB of data. For $70 per month you get truly unlimited everything, with no caps or overages or throttled speeds.
