T-Mobile confirms unlimited 4G data package launching on Sept. 5th for $30

Yesterday, we saw a rumor break that T-Mobile was headed towards launching a new unlimited data package free of data caps, throttles, and overages.  Today, America’s fourth largest carrier confirmed the information with a press release, much to everyone’s pleasure.

The new 4G unlimited data package is going to go in effect starting September 5th, just as the rumor indicated it would.  In terms of pricing, those on the classic plan can add it on for $30 a month and those on the value plan can add it for $20 a month.  The data promotion is presumably available for the foreseeable future and is available for new and current customers alike.

As a T-Mobile customer, it’s great to see the carrier add back something that is almost completely missing in the wireless industry today.  While my 2GB plus slowed speeds serves my needs at the moment, it is comforting to know if I needed unlimited data it would only cost $10 more than what I am currently paying.

T-Mobile Concord introduced as a no-contract Android 2.3 smartphone for $99

If you’re looking to purchase a device on T-Mobile that doesn’t require a contract, then you may be interested in the upcoming T-Mobile Concord.

The T-Mobile Concord, by ZTE, is essentially a low-end device, but should handle your basic smartphone needs with ease.  It’s a great option for those in need of a simple smartphone and not being restricted to an expensive contract.  In terms of specs, the Concord offers a 3.5 inch touch screen display, Android 2.3, 3G connectivity, and a 2MP rear facing camera.

Target will launch the Concord on August 26 for $99 and must be equipped with a qualifying plan.  Walmart is currently selling the device for the same price and offers it with its own type of plan.
