Eli Blumenthal USA TODAY Published 9:30 p.m. UTC Aug 6, 2018 After being quiet for the most recent round of wireless plan revamps, T-Mobile has finally jumped into the fray, launching a new unlimited plan Monday for those looking to cut back on the bonus features in exchange for a cheaper rate. Called "T-Mobile Essentials," the new plan will be available starting August 10 and is just like the name implies: the basics. For $60 per month for one line, $90 for two or $120 for four, you get unlimited talk, text and 4G LTE data. You can have up to six lines on the new plan, with the fifth and sixth lines each costing an additional $15 per month. (That price requires you to also sign up for the company's automatic bill payments service or pay $5 more per line.)

T-Mobile US and Sprint will merge to create a USD 150 billion communication giant
Deutsche Telekom is reinforcing its business in the United States: T-Mobile US Inc. and Sprint Corp. will merge in an all-stock transaction. The two American companies, as well as their respective majority shareholders Deutsche Telekom (62 percent of T-Mobile US) and Softbank K.K. (83 percent of Sprint) have signed an agreement to this effect. The value of the new company (enterprise value) is around USD 150 billion, with expected synergies with a net present value of some USD 43 billion. This is a unique combination for Deutsche Telekom – the Group will benefit both from the U.S. business with its opportunities for growth, and at the same time from its strong business in Europe, which is characterized first and foremost by the bundling of fixed network and mobile communications. “This is an exceptional deal, which will strengthen Deutsche Telekom’s presence in the leading markets in the Western World,” said Timotheus Höttges, CEO of Deutsche Telekom. … [Read more...] about T-Mobile US and Sprint will merge to create a USD 150 billion communication giant
Sprint and T-Mobile agree to merge in all-stock deal
T-Mobile and Sprint announced Sunday that they reached an agreement to combine into a new company that would reshape the U.S. wireless landscape by reducing it to three major cellphone providers. The deal would help the companies slash costs and could make them a stronger competitor to larger AT&T and Verizon. But consumers might see higher prices because the combined company would not have to offer as many promotions to lure customers. The proposed all-stock deal values Sprint at about $59 billion and the combined company at $146 billion, including debt. Without debt, the combined company is valued at $26.5 billion. It comes after Sprint dropped its bid for T-Mobile more than three years ago following concerns by the Obama administration about wireless competition. The two were poised to combine in October, but that deal was called off, too. Sprint and its owner, Japanese conglomerate SoftBank, have long been looking for a deal as the company struggles to compete on its own. … [Read more...] about Sprint and T-Mobile agree to merge in all-stock deal
