Music Freedom expansion gives T-Mobile customers more free streaming
T-Mobile brought Music Freedom to its customers way back in June 2014 with a handful of supported services. Music Freedom expanded in August and November of that year before another batch of music streaming services joined earlier this year. Now, with Binge On handling the video side of things quite well, T-Mobile is ready to give attention back to Music Freedom.
Aud.io, Dash radio, DatPiff, Jango, KCRW, Noon Pacific, Radio Danz, SomaFM, Spinrilla, StreamOn, and TuneIn Premium are the eleven music streaming services now covered by Music Freedom. The standout from the list is TuneIn Premium since it now offers access to a wide range of content that includes NFL games. T-Mobile customers can utilize any of these services and the others to their heart’s desire without having to worry about affecting the amount of 4G LTE allotted monthly.
Hit the break for the full press release.
Eleven More Music Services Join T-Mobile’s Music Freedom Revolution
1 in 4 New T-Mobile customers say they switched because of services like Music Freedom — now, the Un-carrier is expanding the list … again!
Bellevue, Washington — December 1, 2015 — T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) today announced another upgrade to Music Freedom™ – one of its most wildly popular Un-Carrier® moves. Starting today, 11 new music streaming services – including SomaFM, Spinrilla, Aud.io, TuneIn Premium and a slew of services from hip hop to ambient chill – will join Music Freedom. All this music will stream without ever using up your high-speed data for T-Mobile Simple Choice customers on T-Mobile’s blazing-fast nationwide LTE network.
Today’s news is the latest in a continuing series of upgrades to Music Freedom, which now includes 44 music streaming services, up from 7 when the revolutionary program launched last year – a more than 500% increase. Music Freedom’s services cover more than 95% of all music streamed today, and T-Mobile is adding new services all the time. As always, Music Freedom is available at no extra charge to customers and is completely free and open to any and all music streaming providers that want to participate.
“The carriers tax and toll every note that their customers stream, and consumers know it. Nearly 40% of US wireless consumers avoid streaming music on their phones and over half of them do it because they worry about ridiculous overage fees and bill shock,” said John Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile. “Those guys see another way to gouge their customers, and the Un-carrier sees another way to give you more freedom! With Music Freedom, our customers stream all the music they want – unlimited and unmetered. The way music is meant to be!”
Music Freedom has been a huge hit with Un-carrier customers who now stream more than 196 million songs daily − up an amazing 311% from when Music Freedom was first launched. If AT&T customers streamed that much music, they could be paying upwards of $2.2 billion a year—and that’s not even factoring in data overage penalties.
Not surprisingly, Music Freedom has also become a major draw to switch to T-Mobile. In a survey of U.S. wireless customers, 1 in 4 said that Music Freedom is a key reason they’ve switched or would switch to the Un-carrier1.
New services added today include:
- Aud.io High-fidelity internet radio
- Dash Radio DJ-driven radio, zero commercials, 24/7
- DatPiff Mixtapes, hip hop music, videos and underground
- Jango Internet radio that plays music you’ll love
- KCRW Music discovery, NPR news, cultural exploration and informed public affairs
- Noon Pacific A weekly mixtape of the best songs hand-picked from the best music blogs
- Radio Danz The world’s pure dance channel
- SomaFM Ambient, downtempo and chill beats from well-known and unknown artists
- Spinrilla Hip-hop mixtape downloads and streams with no downloading limits
- StreamOn Streaming music services powered by StreamOn. Next-level streaming products for the next era of radio
- TuneIn Premium Access to every NFL, MLB, and Barclays Premier League game, over 600 commercial-free music stations, 40,000 audiobooks, and 16 language learning programs
T-Mobile is on a mission to add every lawful music streaming service to Music Freedom. Any music streaming provider can join for free by applying through T-Mobile’s open submission process. And, if your go-to music streaming service isn’t part of the program, tweet us your favorite service @TMobile, along with the hashtag #MusicFreedom.

T-Mobile rolling out messaging improvements to Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge
While many smartphone device owners anxiously wait for Android 6.0 Marshmallow to come to their devices, owners of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Samsung Galaxy Note Edge on T-Mobile are starting to receive a slightly older update. T-Mobile is updating those devices to Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, which may seem like a disappointment for owners of devices that are just over a year old since release. Nevertheless, the update does include some new features from T-Mobile that may be welcomed by owners of the devices.
The update includes T-Mobile’s Advanced Messaging solution that utilizes a standard called Rich Communications Services (RCS) for text messaging. With Advanced Messaging, users can experience “near real-time chat,” they can see when others are typing and when messages are delivered or read, and photos or videos up to 10 MB in size can be sent.
The other addition is the availability of T-Mobile Video Calling. This feature does not require any additional app to make a video call. All that is needed is a compatible device on both ends of a call in order to make a video call. The dialer on a T-Mobile device with Video Calling will display a small camera on a contact’s entry to let users know the service is supported and available.
The latest updates can be installed over Wi-Fi or through Samsung Smart Switch or Samsung Kies. If you own one of these devices on T-Mobile’s network, you can hit the source links below for instructions on how to check your current version and start the process to install the update.

T-Mobile will give you an extra $200 to switch from Sprint
T-Mobile’s ongoing feud with Sprint continues to have some benefits for your bottom line… and this time, T-Mobile is trying to tempt you with cold, hard cash. As of November 26th, the carrier is running a month-long promo that promises an extra $200 (on top of the existing credit) for every phone line you bring over from one of Sprint’s networks, whether it’s a prepaid Boost plan or a full-fledged subscription. You don’t need to trade in your old gear, either. The move is a bit sneaky given that T-Mobile just hiked its unlimited data rates — you may well be paying more per month if you truly need unlimited access. If you’re already interested in jumping ship, though, this should make the transition that much easier.

T-Mobile is giving Sprint customers who switch an extra $200 bill credit for the holidays
Just a few days ago T-Mobile kicked off its Un-carrier Unwrapped holiday promotion, which gives the majority of the carrier’s Simple Choice postpaid customers unlimited data for free for three whole months. Now the Un-carrier is back again, this time taking a shot at Sprint.
For its second gift, T-Mobile has announced that it’s giving an extra $200 to Sprint customers for every line they switch to T-Mobile, no trade-in required. Both Sprint prepaid and postpaid, Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile customers can get in on this promotion. Once you switch your line over, T-Mobile will give you a $200 credit on your bill. The promotion begins Thursday, November 26th, and there’s no limit as to how many lines you can switch to T-Mobile, either, which is also a nice touch.
This bonus cash is in addition to the money Sprint customers can already save by switching to T-Mobile and qualifying for Carrier Freedom, which will get customers up to $650 per line to cover early termination fees and phone payment balances.
For additional details on this new promotion, follow the source link at the bottom of this post. Looking to save even more money this holiday season? Don’t miss our roundup of the best technology deals available this Black Friday!
T-Mobile giving Sprint customers transferring to the Uncarrier an extra $200 for free
T-Mobile this morning announced that Sprint customers will get an extra $200 for every line they switch over to T-Mobile. This comes as the second gift in T-Mobile’s month of holiday giving, otherwise known as Uncarrier Unwrapped.
In addition to this holiday promotion, Sprint customers still qualify for T-Mobile’s Carrier Freedom promotion, where the Uncarrier will give you up to $650 per line to pay towards Sprint’s early termination fees (ETFs) and other remaining balances.
T-Mobile announced its first holiday gift earlier this week, revealing that existing T-Mobile Simple Choice customers will get unlimited 4G LTE data through March 2016.
With this second holiday gift, Sprint customers transferring four lines to T-Mobile could get as much as $800 extra on top of the Carrier Freedom promotion.
Be sure to keep an eye out for more T-Mobile gifts, as the Uncarrier still has a few more holiday surprises up its sleeves for AT&T and Verizon customers.

T-Mobile Offers Sprint Customers $200 Credit Per Line to Switch
T-Mobile has announced a second “Un-carrier Unwrapped” promotion that offers Sprint customers a $200 bill credit for each line switched to a T-Mobile Simple Choice postpaid plan starting Thursday, November 26.
The offer is valid for Sprint, Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile postpaid and prepaid customers, with no device trade-in required for the bill credit.
Sprint customers can still take advantage of T-Mobile’s Carrier Freedom offer, which provides up to $650 towards a balance owing or to pay off early termination fees (ETFs) with an eligible device trade-in.
Just switch any Sprint number – including postpaid, prepaid, Boost and Virgin Mobile – over to a T-Mobile Simple Choice postpaid plan starting this Thursday, November 26 and you’ll automatically get a $200 credit on your bill. That’s $200 multiplied by as many lines as you switch. For a family of four, that could mean $800 extra, and for a business with 10 employees, we’re talking about a $2,000 credit!
This limited time offer is part of T-Mobile’s monthlong “Un-carrier Unwrapped” holiday promotion that began with three months of free unlimited LTE data for all Simple Choice postpaid customers earlier this week.
T-Mobile plans to unveil additional “gifts” over the next month, with a new gift coming at least once per week. T-Mobile CEO John Legere confirmed on Twitter that gifts are coming soon for AT&T and Verizon customers.
