T-Mobile is adding another plan to its lineup, this time intended for its most demanding data clients.

To attempt to draw clients from Verizon and AT&T the carrier will offer a “zero cost to switch” promotion that will permit the individuals who are financing a phone to switch to T-Mobile and have it cover up to $650 per line off of the leftover installment plan while allowing you to keep the phone.
Like the discounted rate the switcher offer is a “limited time” deal, yet Staneff wouldn’t reveal how long the time-period would last, saying just that it will be around “until we change it going forward.”
