T-Mobile will stop selling postpaid plans with data caps

T-Mobile says that from January 2017 forward, all of the postpaid plans it sells will offer an unlimited amount of data. John Legere, the company’s CEO, says the change reflects the way that people have begun using mobile data, where it’s in frequently the primary way they access the internet. “The internet was meant to be unlimited,” Legere said. “Why the hell are carriers still selling the mobile internet this way?” T-Mobile will stop offering plans with data limits as of January 22nd, only offering its “unlimited” T-Mobile One plans. The carrier telegraphed this move several months back, when it first unveiled the new plan’s branding, but it’s only now fully removing other options. While T-Mobile won’t be selling postpaid plans with data caps, it will still offer prepaid plans with specific data limits.
