T-Mobile US Inc. is going back to basics by cutting prices, following years of relying on giveaways like free video streaming and complimentary Netflix accounts to attract subscribers.
Starting Friday, customers can get T-Mobile Essential, a $60-a-month plan with unlimited data and standard-definition video. A second line will cost $30, and additional lines are $10 if enrolled in an auto-payment plan. The Essential offer is $10 less than the company’s current unlimited plan, which comes with a Netflix subscription and covers fees and taxes.
