T-Mobile's New Individual and Family Cell Phone Plans

T-Mobile has a new group of cell phone plans, with fewer plans and no more calling circles.

Oddly enough, just as fast as Verizon and AT&T introduced their calling circles, T-Mobile has done away with theirs, seemingly at a drop of a hat. No more MyFaves, no more choosing between regular plans and MyFave plans, you just choose between three plans, and then if you want a contract or no contract, dubbed Even More and Even More Plus.

Even More (2 year contract required)

You have 500, 1000, and Unlimited plans to choose from, and then add $10 for talk and text, and $30 more for web if you have a smartphone, or $10 more for web if you get a phone first product. The unlimited plan is $59.99, bringing it on par with some of the no-contract providers. This is available to both FlexPay and regular contract customers, in addition to their discount on the cell phone. Family plans on Even More get 750, 1500 and unlimited minutes, starting at 59.99

Even More Plus (No Contract Required)

With the amount of customers leaping onto Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile and other pay as you go providers that offer unlimited plan, even more plus is for people who don't want or need a discount on their phone service, and who wish to get a monthly plan and no contract. Details are just like the Even More for individuals and families, the price points are $10 less on individuals and family plans. In other words, your 500 minute plan is $29.99 per month, and 49.99 for unlimited plans, and for families on Even More Plus, you only have to pay $79.99 for their unlimited plan. This is a great value for anyone who doesn't want a contract, doesn't care about getting new phones at a discount in the future.

One final thing on the Even More Plus plan from T-Mobile: Once you start on even more plus, you can never move to an Even More plan without starting a new service with a new cell phone.

All in all, this is a pretty bold move for any cell phone provider. There is a growing segment of the market who doesn't want, or is ineligible for a two year contract. This is a great way for someone to get a bad credit cell phone without a deposit, but still support a family plan.
