T-Mobile will reportedly begin selling three-in-one SIM cards this June, allowing customers to easily switch smartphones without the hassle of swapping SIM cards.
The report was first made by TmoNews, which says customers can start buying their TrioSIM cards at all T-Mobile retail locations starting Monday, June 15. The goal of having TrioSIMs, which has pop-outs for nano-SIMs, micro-SIMs and mini-SIMs, is to help customers change their handsets easily without worrying about changing their SIM cards. T-Mobile will reportedly charge $10 for a TrioSIM, says TmoNews.
For instance, if a customer has an iPhone 6, which uses a nano-SIM, and wants to switch to the LG G4, one of the remaining few flagships sporting a micro-SIM slot, he can simply take his nano-SIM and pop it into the micro-SIM adapter included in the TrioSIM.
Aside from giving chronic phone changers the advantage of rapidly and easily changing their devices, the TrioSIM will also help T-Mobile cut costs in SIM card replacements as well as in the resources spent by store employees handling these replacements.
The report of T-Mobile selling TrioSIMs in the U.S. is unverified, but the Un-carrier has already begun selling these SIM cards in the Netherlands. Other carriers in the UK are also selling three-in-one SIMs to their customers.
A couple of customers have also confirmed the existence of TrioSIM, saying the phones they recently bought from T-Mobile already have the new SIM cards.
This isn't the only new thing coming from T-Mobile this month. Reportedly, the John Legere's wireless carrier is also planning on rolling out a seven-day unlimited talk and text pass for prepaid customers starting June 28. TmoNews says the Un-carrier will sell the new product as a "great option for tourists and customers looking for unlimited usage for a short window of time."
T-Mobile will reportedly charge $10 for each seven-day unlimited pass, which will have to be purchased with its Pay as you Go prepaid plan. Customers who also want to include data into their plans may purchase existing Pay as you Go Data passes.
The new products are said to come as T-Mobile puts an end to its 2 for $100 unlimited 4G LTE data plan and its 4 for $100 2.5 GB data plan beginning June 27. Those who want to take advantage of the promo will have to apply for these lines right away, but existing customers will continue on the plan even after the promo ends.
