T-Mobile has started a Spring Break promo, which will attract couples or people looking for two lines.
On Thursday, T-Mobile announced that the carrier will offer two lines with 12 GB of 4G data (6 GB for each line), unlimited text and unlimited talk for $80 per month. Customers who take on the new plan will take advantage of unlimited music via Music Freedom and unlimited video through Binge On.
On Tuesday, T-Mobile announced expansion of Music Freedom service and added support for some major streaming services such as Amazon Music, Chilltrax, ESPN Radio, OHIO.FM, PreDanz and Uforia. Now, Music Freedom supports more than 40 streaming services and listening to music via these streamers will not consume data allowance.
Similarly, the Binge On service allows users to watch videos from some content providers without using data. In March this year, T-Mobile's Binge On started support for YouTube and Google Play Movies, which are some of the biggest video streamers in the market.
Many smartphone users stream music and video on their mobile devices, which can eat up a lot of data. The addition of more streamers on Music Freedom and Binge On will definitely attract more customers and will free data. However, John Legere, the CEO and President of T-Mobile (USA), says that the Spring Break promo will entice those looking for just two lines.
Legere also took the opportunity to compare T-Mobile's latest promotion with rival Verizon Wireless.
"Don't let Verizon trick you with their misleading ads. They lure you in with the promise of a 'Large' serving of data for $60, only to sneak in another $20 PER LINE in monthly access fees - to use the data you already own! At Verizon, $60 actually means $100 for 2 lines and 6 GB!" says Legere. "Even worse, these guys charge you those access fee again and again, every single month. Don't believe the BS; come to T-Mobile where we do data different!"
The two-line promotion is for a limited time and customers who want to take advantage of the deal can visit the company's official website (www.T-mobile.com), the company's brick and mortar stores, authorized dealers, 1-800-T-Mobile and via T-Mobile Care.
T-Mobile also announced that starting Friday, customers will be able to buy the LG K7 smartphone for $0 down followed by 24 equal instalments of $5.83 each month. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 processor clocked at 1.1GHz powers the LG K7.
The LG K7 has 1.5 GB of RAM, 5-megapixel front and rear-facing cameras, 32 GB internal storage and the handset runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop.
