T-Mobile’s pre-paid data plans leaked

This is not good

It looks like T-Mobile will be joining AT&T and Verizon Wireless in offering pre-paid wireless data to its customers. Engadget has been sent in an image detailing exactly what Magenta’s data buckets will look like. Pre-paid data will be sold in 7-day and 30-day increments: a one-week, 100 MB pass will retail for $10; a one-month 300 MB pass will retail for $30; and a 1 GB monthly pass will cost $50. The pricing is in-line with both AT&T and Verizon Wireless, but, curiously, doesn’t give T-Mobile the price-point edge it usually touts over its competitors.

UPDATE: TMoNews is now reporting that T-Mobile will be revamping their pre-paid calling plans as well. The new plans will look like this:

* $70 Unlimited Talk & Text includes 2 GB of data
* $50 Unlimited Talk & Text includes 100 MB of data
* $30 1500 Talk & Text includes 30 MB of data (use any combination of minutes or messages up to 1500)

but as of right now, T-Mobile /in certain markets/ is faster than AT&T and Verzion. so i think the prices are fair, their slower counterparts are the same price.

I just hope T-Mobile will grand father the old data plans and not make users upgrade/Change

Yep, I've seen these...

Congrats to tmo to making data more affordable for people. Of course, these plans wouldn't work for me but they work for many. I think it will draw more people in.
