T-Mobile to Give Away One Free Year of Unlimited LTE Data for Referrals and Switchers

[RaduTyrsina]

There's an ongoing fierce battle among US carriers as these try to come up with new products and services in order to appeal to customers from other companies. It seems that the race is on for the third place spot in the ranks of US carriers, as Sprint has already introduced tis new ‘Family Share Pack’ plan. Now, T-Mobile has responded with their own idea.

The carrier announced a new promotion that will benefit both current and new customers. From next week, T-Mobile will start giving away one free year of unlimited LTE data for referrals and switchers. Here’s how the official press release sounds like

Sprint’s customers have suffered much. They’ve endured the Framily. They’ve endured America’s slowest nationwide LTE network. And now again, the (ironically named) carrier has forsaken its loyal customers, offering its latest, “best deals” to everyone but its own current customers. It’s hard to watch.

But now T-Mobile (NYSE: TMUS) is stepping forward to help. Today, the Un-carrier announced a new program encouraging T-Mobile customers to save their friends and colleagues still with Sprint.

Starting next week, whenever a T-Mobile Simple Choice customer throws a lifeline to a Sprint (or AT&T or Verizon) customer and brings them to the Un-carrier, both receive unlimited LTE data for a full year on T-Mobile’s blazing-fast LTE network, at no additional charge. T-Mobile Simple Choice customers who already have unlimited LTE data receive a $10 credit each month for twelve months.

T-Mobile’s CEO John Legere also shared his input:

“It continues to amaze me to see the old carriers failing to listen to their customers−or reward them for their loyalty. That arrogance has defined the U.S. wireless industry for too long.”

The new promotion kicks off August 29th, and if you're a T-Mobile customer who's interested in this, you will just need to report your referrals to the link from below. Once your referrals or switchers are approved, both parties will get unlimited LTE data service or $10 per month credit.

What do you think of this idea? Does it appeal to you?
