T-Mobile cancels unlimited Even More Plus plan

Services

T-Mobile giveth, and T-Mobile taketh away. News coming down from T-Mobile enthusiast blog TmoNews suggests that the apple of AT&T’s eye has decided to cancel its “Even More Plus” plan, which never even got off the ground. T-Mobile intended to launch two promotional unlimited plans this week — Even More and Even More Plus — but the Plus plan was apparently cancelled with no explanation. T-Mobile has informed retail locations that they should not offer the plan to customers even if it has already appeared in their systems. Both the $79.99 Even More and the $59.99 Even More Plus plans offered unlimited voice calling, unlimited messaging and unlimited data — with a 2GB soft cap and throttling thereafter — but Even More was for postpaid subscribers while Even More Plus could be had by month-to-month customers. Alas, T-Mobile subscribers will now need a contract in order to get Even More.

Thanks, Jeremy

    I loved that tmobile offered this. Why don’t all carriers offer off-contract rate plans and then offer to subsidize a phone for an additional monthly fee? (Like tmobile did just yesterday!)

    Hopefully someone at the FCC will see this move by tmobile and trace the dots back to AT&T. I’m an AT&T customer and would love a more reliable network, but this just seems like an early sign that it’s just not going to worth it.

    comedy. at&t strikes back. this is the pathetic, loathsome state of the us cellular industry (or cartel, if you will).

    BGR should have an editorial listing (and railing on) what has happened over the past 6 months in wireless:

    1) Verizon: No more 1 year contracts, no more annual upgrades

    2) Sprint: New premier program, taking away upgrades of customers who had already earned upgrades by being a Premier member and being 12+ months on contract

    3) AT&T: Higher early upgrade fees

    4) T-Mo: Announcing and quickly jettisoning EM+

    What else am I missing? What happened to lower prices as technology improved? This is all extremely troubling.

    Of course this came down from their new masters at AT&T. They don’t want their future subscribers paying less than what current AT&T customers pay.. You will probably see this plan re-surface at a price point and with the same Terms & Conditions as to what AT&T charges later this year.

    Called T-Mo last night to see if I could switch to this plan. They told me that the plan is not available anymore, but that another $59.99 unlimited* EM+ plan will be offered soon and I should keep my eyes & ears open for the announcement.
