T-Mobile did away with data caps via Binge On to get more subscribers on board the magenta ship, and now it's adding more streaming options to the program to appeal to more customers.
To get things started, Binge On lets the user stream videos to their hearts' content, and it already has quite an impressive list that includes Netflix, HBO Now, Hulu, ESPN, Fox Sports, Dailymotion, Crunchyroll and many others in the mix. Thanks to this development, the selection is growing a lot bigger now.
"In the six months since we launched Binge On, the number of video providers streaming free without using your data has grown more than 240 percent," John Legere, CEO and president of T-Mobile, says.
Without further ado, here are 13 of the audio and video streaming services that's making their way to Binge On:
• Google Play Music
• Great Big Story
• NBC
• Kiswe
• Ligonier Ministries
• Noggin
• Qello Concerts
• Radio Disney
• Univision
• Univision Noticias
• Spotify
• Tidal
• Toon Goggles
Considering that Google Play Music, Spotify and others are upping their game with music video and concert streams, T-Mobile's move to add them to the Binge On list is good news for everyone. In other words, users won't have to worry that the content — be it video or audio — that they're streaming will count against their data caps.
As a little reminder, Binge On automatically sets the quality to 480p or, as Legere puts it, "DVD quality," which is enough for smartphones, according to the Uncarrier. Of course, the solution to go beyond that restriction is to turn the service off, and this goes without saying, but that will come at a cost.
