Q: Does unlimited voice include roaming?
A: Yes

Q: T-Mobile offers unlimited voice and messaging for $99.99. But does T-Mobile offer an unlimited data plan, comparable to Sprint, Verizon and ATT’s offerings?

A: T-Mobile does not have the same data capabilities as Sprint. While they do offer simple Web access for an additional $5.99 to their $99.99 plan, they do not include Navigation, Music, TV, or unique Sprint content. And remember, t-Mobile operates on a slower 2G network compared to Sprint’s high-speed 3G network.

Q: Will this plan be offered to the base or just new customers?
A: We are excited to offer these plans to our existing customers as well as new customers
Q: Is this offer for consumers only or does it extend into business?
A: “Simply Unlimited” is for any customer, up to five lines.

Q: Is this plan being offered to both IDEN and CDMA customers?
A: The “Simply Everything” plan is available for both the CDMA and iDEN platforms – again, simplicity! Another plan we are unveiling is designed for our core iDEN users who do not need as much data. This plan includes unlimited voice, unlimited data, and Nextel Direct Connect. This $89.99 plan is also available for CDMA and does not include the premium applications of Sprint Music, Sprint TV or GPS Navigation.

Q: Will this plan require a contract or a contract extension for current customers?
A: Existing customers can simply switch without extending their contracts on existing lines; New and existing customers will be asked to sign a two year agreement for new line activations;

Q: Will this price plan cover all devices?
A: Yes, except for Blackberry devices. Blackberries will continue to have a premium.]]>Feb 28th 2008 12:13PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/28/sprint-debuts-simply-everything-plan-for-99-a-month/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/28/sprint-debuts-simply-everything-plan-for-99-a-month/

SELECT T-MOBILE MARKETS and SELECT T-MOBILE PHONES ARE 3G LIVE ALREADY

They are very hush about which markets are LIVE, and which phones are LIVE, but they are out there.

As for the CONTENT, unless its a smartphone, your likely NOT going to get Music, TV, or Navigation of any sort with T-Mobile... YET!

Exactly my point "No Deal". The Simply Everything plan is NOT family-friendly. The first line costs $99, the second line costs $95, the third line costs $90. That's WAY too much money! There's no way families will convert to this. I see only a small number of well off singles wanting this plan. I pay $120/mon for three lines sharing 2000-mins and we always have hundreds left over. We get unlim n/wknds, mo-to-mo, 500 txtmsg/mon, and unlim web access. "Simply Everything" would cost us $99+$95+$90 ! Not happening.

Maybe their family plans are already better than the others and they're trying to capture highly-paid singles with this, but I just don't see that as a big subscriber segment for them. ]]>Feb 29th 2008 10:25AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/28/sprint-debuts-simply-everything-plan-for-99-a-month/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/28/sprint-debuts-simply-everything-plan-for-99-a-month/May 4th 2008 5:52PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/28/sprint-debuts-simply-everything-plan-for-99-a-month/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/28/sprint-debuts-simply-everything-plan-for-99-a-month/Feb 29th 2008 1:17PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/28/sprint-debuts-simply-everything-plan-for-99-a-month/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/28/sprint-debuts-simply-everything-plan-for-99-a-month/Feb 29th 2008 2:26PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/28/sprint-debuts-simply-everything-plan-for-99-a-month/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/28/sprint-debuts-simply-everything-plan-for-99-a-month/Feb 29th 2008 2:46PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/28/sprint-debuts-simply-everything-plan-for-99-a-month/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/28/sprint-debuts-simply-everything-plan-for-99-a-month/Mar 3rd 2008 7:23PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/28/sprint-debuts-simply-everything-plan-for-99-a-month/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/28/sprint-debuts-simply-everything-plan-for-99-a-month/Mar 5th 2008 2:08AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/28/sprint-debuts-simply-everything-plan-for-99-a-month/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/28/sprint-debuts-simply-everything-plan-for-99-a-month/
