T-Mobile must not want to wait for a special event (http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/18/t-mobile-planning-march-26th-press-event/) to lure customers through its doors: it just launched its revamped, decidedly UnCarrier-like plans a couple of days early. As became clearer (http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/19/t-mobile-uncarrier-plans-leak-make-unlimited-talk-and-text-givens/) this weekend, unlimited voice, text and basic data are now things you can take for granted on Magenta's network. It's only the cap on throttle-free data that determines how much you pay: rates sold through T-Mobile itself start at $50 for a basic 500MB of online use and climb in steady 2GB increments that each cost an extra $10 per month, up to a total of 12.5GB for $110. You can still get truly unlimited service (http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/08/t-mobile-contract-free-unlimited-data/) if you want, for $70 -- although you'll have to bolt on a separate hotspot plan that the capped tiers get for free. Costs at resellers are expected to run slightly higher, but it's still clear that T-Mobile is aggressively courting those of us who see internet access as the very reason to have a smartphone in the first place.
