T-Mobile announces Un-carrier 9.0 for businesses
T-Mobile has just announced Un-carrier 9.0, which is specifically targeted towards businesses. The carrier claims that this new plan will bring transparency and reduce wastage of fees as well as other carrier specific charges.
Putting it in very simple terms, the carrier mentions that each additional line for businesses will be charged just $15. Now, you can add 20, 30 or even 300 extra lines and the price will be the same. If your number exceeds 1,000 lines, you can get each line at $10.
T-Mobile clarifies that each line comes with 1GB of 4G LTE data as well as unlimited talk and text. If you’re looking for extra data, you can add $10 more per line for an extra 2GB or $30 per line for unlimited 4G LTE data.
Putting things in perspective, the carrier claims that small businesses can save up to $5,100 on 20 lines over a two year duration, which is a lot of money for small businesses. These new plans are sending a strong signal to the other carriers that T-Mobile is not only focused on individual customers.
“We’re going to do for businesses, what we’ve already been doing for consumers,” said John Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile. “Eliminate pain points and force change. The majority of US businesses − a full 99.7% − have less than 500 employees and don’t have the money or resources to waste debating, negotiating and deciphering the carriers’ hidden pricing. Today, we’re upending how business buys wireless with 100% transparent pricing, the best rates, business family discounts, and more.”
You can find more details on these new prices from the carrier’s detailed post below.
