T-Mobile announces “Smartphone Equality” plans

American carrier T-Mobile has just announced a new Smartphone Equality approach towards its plans and offerings which promises to not leave out those with low credit scores.

In a blog post, the CEO of T-Mobile, John Legere mentions how the industry has been cruel to people with lower credit scores. To qualify for this Smartphone Equality plan, you need to have paid your smartphone bill in time for 12 straight months, so your credit score will not come into account.

All T-Mobile wants to know is that you’re capable of paying the smartphone bill at the end of every month. The carrier says that this way, every customer will be able to enjoy all of its plans and offers on new devices.

Speaking about the new announcement, Legere said – “This new approach puts the relationships we’ve built with loyal customers above their credit scores.  It’s a simpler, saner way to evaluate credit − our history with you. And it’s more effective. Because the simple truth is that our relationship with that customer is actually a better predictor of future behavior than their credit history.”
