The T-Mobile One plan was launched a couple of weeks ago. Magenta has done away with conventional data plans and buckets and now offers only one single plan that provides customers with unlimited data. However, subscribers had expressed some reservations about the new plan so T-Mobile has decided to amp it up and offer a T-Mobile One Plus option.
T-Mobile One is being launched five days ahead of schedule so it will actually be available on September 1st. Previously the carrier said that unlimited mobile hotspot would be offered at 2G (128kbps) speeds but now it’s going to offer unlimited mobile hotspot at 3G (512kbps) speeds.
The singular plan also allowed subscribers to stream video for free as long as it was in 480p in resolution. T-Mobile One subscribers will now be able to purchase 24 hour HD video passes. They cost $3 each and will provide them with 24 hours of unlimited HD video streaming, the HD passes will be available in October.
Magenta’s T-Mobile One Plus add-on is going to cost an additional $25 per month, per line. It will provide subscribers with unlimited 4G LTE mobile hotspot usage as well as unlimited HD day passes, meaning that users will be able to activate 24 hours of HD video streaming as frequently as they want.
T-Mobile One Plus subscribers will also get increased data speeds when roaming abroad. Speeds of up to 256kbps are promised when roaming in more than 140 countries supported by Simple Global, that’s double the normal roaming speed of 128kbps.
The carrier’s network prioritization remains in effect even with T-Mobile One Plus so if you use more than 26GB of mobile data every month you might see your speeds being reduced. T-Mobile says that those who use more than 26GB of data per month must ensure that primary data usage is on a smartphone or tablet.
