T-Mobile will give you unlimited LTE data for a year if you refer a friend, disses Sprint just because



John Legere


T-Mobile has made a bold move today by announcing a new friend referral initiative. Instead of the usual unattractive offering of $20 that other carriers might give you for getting your friends signed up on their network, T-Mobile’s giving you something that you can truly use: unlimited 4G LTE data.


As it stands, T-Mobile’s unlimited LTE data plans come in at a minimum of $80 per month. With this new promotion, you could be on their $50 plan (unlimited data, 1GB of which is LTE) and end up with unlimited LTE goodness for one full year.


Your friend will also have access to that perk for the year, so both of you can bask in the glory of being able to download however much crap you want. And if you’re already grandfathered into unlimited LTE, T-Mobile will give you $10 per month on your bill — win, win, win.

The move is another great blow to the other carriers that should heat competition up even more. T-Mobile already had a pretty sweet deal in place for those who felt they were bound by their contracts (by paying for their ETFs) and this is just another big offer that will help them steal even more subscribers from the other three carriers.


Interestingly enough, T-Mobile has taken their marketing sights off AT&T and focused on Sprint this time around — their press release boldly calls the Now Network out by name:


Sprint’s customers have suffered much. They’ve endured the Framily.  They’ve endured America’s slowest nationwide LTE network.  And now again, the (ironically named) carrier has forsaken its loyal customers, offering its latest, “best deals” to everyone but its own current customers. It’s hard to watch.


Some might see it as a defensive stance due to Sprint seemingly stepping up their value and trying to take a bit of thunder away from T-Mobile under the direction of new Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure. Just this morning, Sprint announced a new $60 unlimited everything plan that should have everyone else worried.


Of course, T-Mobile might contend that no one will care about unlimited service if said service is shoddy, and they might have a point. But Sprint’s network is improving every day, and should they finally get over the poor performance hump everyone else better look out.


The promotion will begin starting Friday, August 29th and you’ll be able to sign up for it right here. Let us know if you’ll be taking advantage.











Sprint’s new $60 unlimited talk, text, and data plan – begun, the price war has

We heard talk since last week of Sprint’s plans to start a pricing war in the US, and I think I speak for everyone when I say we’re more than ready. It was only 2 days ago we saw them take their first steps with a $100 20GB Family Plan for up to 10 lines. Pretty nuts considering each line got 2GB of data in addition to pulling from the pool of 20GB. Love it.

Today, Sprint is continue to make things uncomfortable for rival carriers by introducing a $60 unlimited data plan. The plan includes unlimited talk, text, and data and goes head-to-head with T-Mobile’s $80 a month unlimited plan. AT&T and Verizon? Well, they don’t do unlimited. In a press release Sprint’s brand new CEO Marcelo Claure said:


“People know Sprint for Unlimited. We have long been the leader in offering customers unlimited data and that leadership continues today with our new $60 unlimited plan. Unlimited talk, text and data for $60 is the best unlimited postpaid plan available. And, we’ve listened to our loyal customers; we’re making the Sprint $60 Unlimited Plan available to both new and existing customers.”


The new plan will be available to both new and existing customers starting tomorrow, with Sprint mentioning in order to qualify, customers will need to have purchased a device through Sprint Easy Pay, have paid for their device in full, or brought an existing device for service. It’s definitely a T-Mobile approach to doing things, and we can’t wait to see how the other big 3 respond.
