for smartphones.<br>\nThe most significant cut has to be the mid-tier level plan, which includes unlimited everything \u2013 phone calls, text messages, and data.&nbsp; It was $79.99 a month; now it is $59.99 a month.&nbsp; This is compared to Sprint Nextel\u2019s comparable plan, which is $69.99 per month.<br>\nThe price reductions are just another sign of how vicious the competition is between US cell phone carriers.&nbsp; In T-Mobile and Sprint\u2019s case, they are two of the smaller carriers who have been battling it out for a while now.&nbsp; Even though T-Mobile is set to be taken over by AT&amp;T, they seem to intend to stay ahead in the race until it happens.<br>\n&#8220;Our goal is to get the next 100 million Americans on smartphones,&#8221; said John Clelland, T-Mobile\u2019s senior vice president of marketing.&nbsp; &#8220;We really do think it&#8217;s a key that unlocks the next wave of growth.&#8221;<br>\nNow, as we all well know, \u201cunlimited\u201d rarely (if ever) means unlimited.&nbsp; So before, you head off to T-Mobile to switch your plan, here is what you need to know:<br>\nFor the $59.99, you get 2GB of data \u2013 streaming video, music, emails, photo uploads \u2013 at regular mobile bandwidth speed.&nbsp; After that, you will receive a notification asking you to consider upgrading your plan.&nbsp; If you decide not to upgrade, the connection is throttled to 2G speeds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to an article on CNET T-Mobile USA is \u201cthrowing down the gauntlet\u201d with its new price plans for
