AT&T, T-Mobile Unveil Unlimited Plans

Quickly leaping in line behind Verizon, which announced $99.99 unlimited wireless voice plans on Tuesday morning, both AT&T and T-Mobile have unveiled their own competing plans less than a day later. All three carriers now offer plans at the same price that allow subscribers to make as many calls as they want without restrictions.

AT&T’s plan will cost $99.99 a month, with no long distance charges or domestic roaming charges. Like its other voice plans, the unlimited plan can be combined with any of AT&T’s other packages, including its data and texting plans. According to Electronista, special phones such as BlackBerrys, Windows Mobile handsets, and iPhones will see slightly different pricing, ranging from $120 for an iPhone with unlimited voice and data, to $145 for a BlackBerry with unlimited voice, data, and corporate e-mail. The plans will become available February 22.

T-Mobile will introduce its plan at the same $99.99 price point and with the same freedom from long distance and domestic roaming charges, but with the additional benefit of text messages, picture messages and instant messages being included in the plan. The company will also manage to roll the service out a hair earlier, on February 21.

T-Mobile smartphone.

T-Mobile continues to command a massive lead in offering the best 5G experience among U.S. carriers. A few weeks ago, a report from Ookla revealed that T-Mobile is leaving its rivals in the dust; now Opensignal has confirmed that not only is the Un-carrier’s lead increasing in raw speeds, but it’s leading the way in taking 5G into the mainstream.

According to Opensignal’s latest 5G Experience Report, T-Mobile not only offers the fastest 5G experience in the U.S. by a sizeable margin but on average, customers on T-Mobile spend nearly 50% of their time on the carrier’s 5G network.
