T-Mobile Announces Program To Encourage Its Customers To Rescue Sprint Customers

(RTTNews) - T-Mobile US Inc. (TMUS) announced a new program to encourage 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 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.

Earlier this week, Sprint introduced a new offer for T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon customers-leaving its own customers wondering about the price of loyalty. At the same time, Sprint launched a new family plan with a fixed data cap and no option for unlimited LTE data. When families exceed their cap - assuming that's even possible on the nation's lowest LTE network - families are hit with overages to the tune of $15 per gigabyte.

In stark contrast, T-Mobile said that its Simple Choice plan comes with unlimited data, talk and text - and with no overages and no annual service contracts - on America's fastest nationwide 4G LTE network.

T-Mobile said that its customers just report their good deed at its website, starting next Friday, August 29th. The Customers will need their T-Mobile number and their friend's number they've ported over. When Customers report a successful rescue mission within 30 days of their friend's activation with T-Mobile, the unlimited LTE data service or bill credit for both of them will start that month.

According to T-Mobile, Qualifying Simple Choice plan required; not available for pre-paid. Referee must register at www.T-Mobile.com/referral and identify referrer within 30 days after activation. $10 credit provided as bill credit, starting after qualified referral. Referee and referrer must maintain active service, and be in good standing on account, when credits are processed. Limit one $10 monthly credit or unlimited 4G LTE offer per referrer account. Referrer and referee must both maintain service without plan changes to continue receiving referral benefit.
