Discussion forums are buzzing with speculation that T-Mobile is about to respond to the $49 unlimited Boost Mobile voice plans. If the information is correct (and it’s very possible that this is nothing but wishful hoaxing or a retention plan someone lucked into) expect a $49 unlimited voice plan with everything but messaging and data. There may be a family plan for $89 plus $39/ea additional line. Recent news has implied that T-Mobile is bearing the brunt subscribers defecting for the new Boost $49 unlimited plan. The deal killer for me? Data is still a $24.99 add-on. The full rumor follows.
