An unlimited plan created especially for families, T‑Mobile now offers unlimited nationwide calling (with nationwide roaming and long distance) and unlimited nationwide text, picture and instant messaging (SMS, MMS and IM), for a flat rate of $49.99 monthly access* for each line added after the first line. To take advantage of this plan, new and existing T‑Mobile customers would subscribe to the first line for $99.99 monthly access; customers can add up to four additional lines at $49.99 per line after the first line (plus taxes and fees). “Mobile phones are a lifeline for busy families today, and T‑Mobile wants to be right alongside them whether at home or on-the-go to help them stay connected,” said Robert Dotson, president and CEO, T‑Mobile USA. “This new unlimited calling and messaging plan for families delivers great value, and frees families to connect the way they want to for all their important relationships.” While unlimited calling delivers significant benefits for many family members, including not having to watch their minutes, unlimited messaging is a defining feature of this new T‑Mobile family plan.
